Emma's POV Draven watched as I signed the contract, I did not even read it because… what’s the point? He won't let me change a thing about it even if I don't like it.He secured the documents and locked them inside a briefcase, “Good. You can have the kids now.”“Where are they? Can I take them home with me now?” I asked. I was eager to meet my kids.Draven stood up and said, “They are not with me right now. They are with Robin.”“Oh.” I mused, “I can go and pick them up.”“No, need for that. We have something important to do before that.”“What?” The man picked up his jacket and car keys, “Come with me.”“Where?” Again, utter silence. Asking this man a question was like throwing a stone in the ocean. Completely useless! I rolled my eyes and followed him behind. We got into the elevator and he called his receptionist to inform her that he was heading out and canceled all his meetings for the day.We got into his car and the car set out in the city. None of us talked, he was starin
Emma's POV “Come.” Draven said in a slow tone before getting out of the car.As soon as I entered the house, I was caught in awe. The bungalow was massive and handsomely decorated, everything about it screamed rich and lavish.“You like it?” He asked, making me break out of my fantasies.I said, “Yes, it’s nice but I am worried about the chandelier. We have kids in the house.”Draven looked at the gigantic glass chandelier hanging on the roof and grunted, “We will get it removed.”“Mommy! Daddy!” Ashel’s voice grabbed our attention and I saw her running toward me.“Baby.” I got on my knees to scoop her in a hug. Behind her, I saw Beta Robin and Asher coming our way.“Alpha. Miss Whitemane.” He greeted before handing some documents to Draven, “Everything is done, Alpha. All it requires is your sign.”“Hang on.” The man looked at us and asked, “Do you like the house?”“Yes.” Ashel was the first one to answer. Beta Robin had brought the kids earlier to give them a house tour and by her
Emma's POV The two of us stood there, gazing into each other’s eyes. I did not know what to do, my mind had stopped working and was pooling with so many questions.“Daddy. Mommy. Is everything alright?” He let go of my arm and distanced himself from me when we heard Ashel’s voice. She and her brother were standing at the stairs, looking at us with a complicated expression.Draven cleared his throat and I spoke up, “Yes, everything is alright.”“Are you sure? We heard you two fighting.” Asher said. Even though he maintained a straight face, he could not conceal the worry in his voice.I said, “Yes, darling. Daddy and I disagreed on something but it is alright now.”“Okay.” Ashel muttered but she did not look too convinced by us. I grew up watching my adopted parents fight, it used to put me in a lot of anxiety. I did not want to put my kids through that.I changed the topic, “I haven’t seen the house yet. How about you two give me a house tour?”Their spirits went from zero to hundred
Stella's POV “Mom… Thank you for coming back on such short notice.” I grabbed Sherra's hand and said in a teary voice. She caressed my hair and said, “Don't be silly. There is no way we won't come to help you when you have a problem.”I smiled until Desiree spoke up, “Girl, you should have told us this sooner that she is back. Why did you wait for so long?”I bit down on my lips. I was the one who invited Sherra and Desiree back to the pack and told them about Emma. They already knew that she was back but we were pretending to be oblivious because they did not want to drag me.I trust Draven, I do but for some reason… I feel like his heart is not in the right place now. If he seriously wanted to divorce Emma, he would have done it by now instead of dragging this case.Also, there were kids involved. They were enough to make him emotional.I said, “I did not want to cause trouble for my own selfish reasons.”“It's not selfish.” Sherra comforted me, “Draven is yours, she stole him from
Emma's POV I looked at Stella and then at Draven, neither of them looked as if they were happy about this. Draven pulled his lips together in a straight line and put down his phone. Stella walked up to us, her eyes were buried on the man in front of me.“Hello, Draven. Can I know what is happening here?” Stella stopped right next to the table and asked. She swam her eyes across me and the kids, “Out here to have lunch with the family, I see.”Draven opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but Stella spoke first, “Mind if I join? Thank you. Waiter… Can you bring me an extra chair, please?”The four of us sat there awkwardly until the staff brought a chair for her to sit.“Lovely.” She took the menu she was handed and said, “A T-bone steak with the side of mashed caulis, parmesan snap pea pasta, and sweet potato fries. Also, bring me some sorbet and tiramisu.” She handed back the menu and giggled, “What? Don’t look at me like that. I was on a diet trying to lose weight for
Emma's POV “You don't know?” Alex clicked a few times on his phone before handing it over to me. Opened on the phone screen was a long discussion forum.“What is it?” I took the phone from him and looked at the post which was currently going viral on social media. My eyes spread open in surprise as I recognized this, it was from the banquet.Turns out someone secretly shot a video of my and Stella's argument in the ball and posted it online. The video was circulating around and captioned as “The rumors are true, Alpha Draven and Emma Whitemane are getting divorced.”Last time when I told the media that we were getting a divorce, Draven used his influence and made every single media house delete the footage. The news never came out so the netizens never got to know that we were in the process of separating. But now, it was different!The cat was out of the bag and everyone was talking about it. Even if Draven wanted, he wouldn't be able to shut down the news this time.I scrolled thro
“They said I can never compete with her and take the throne in his heart. But, honey, there is no competition! She can have the throne of his heart while I take the throne of the pack.” -Asmitha (I became an Alpha after Divorce) __________________________________ Emma’s POV “Ahhhh.” I accidentally knocked off the vase from the table while scrubbing the floor. I immediately grabbed the vase to check if it was fine even though my back was hurting because of the hit. Fortunately, the antique was alright, saving me a heavy bashing from the owners of this house. “Emma! Where in the Moon Goddess’s name are you?” Sherra Sinclair, my mother-in-law, came bragging into the room. The anger on her face escalated when she saw me on the floor. “You witch, it’s already time for dinner and you are still cleaning the floor? Where is the food? Do you want to starve me and Desiree?” She seethed. I darted my eyes toward the wall clock and realized that it was indeed time for dinner. I got up at onc
Emma's POV "What are you doing? Let me go!" I was shocked by his sudden action and tried to break free from his clutch. But the more I resisted, the harder he pinned me. A mocking smile appeared on his face as he said, "Trying to be modest, are we, Emma? Are you gonna deny that this was what you wanted?" "What do you mean?" I stared into his dark blue eyes which reminded me of the night sky. This was the first time he was this close to me and I couldn't help but notice his exquisite features. He was blessed with almond eyes and long curly lashes, paired with a strong set of eyebrows. He had a bridged nose and thin pink lips, all accommodating in his rectangular face with a square jawline. Alpha Draven was the most handsome man in our pack and every time I looked into his eyes, I remembered why I fell in love with him in the first place. He said, "Didn't you just complain to my mother that I wouldn't sleep with you?" My face reddened with embarrassment, I did not expect that v
