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
Emma's POVThree weeks later…The sizzle of the stake filled the kitchen, indicating to me that it was cooked to perfection. I turned off the stove and wiped my hand on my apron. The dinner was ready and now I waited for Draven to come back home.Draven left for a business trip the same night while I was still asleep and I did not bother him as he is usually very busy during those trips. Yesterday I found out that he came back to the pack three days ago and today he called me to tell me that he was coming home tonight.I was elated. Today was our wedding anniversary and I was so happy that he remembered.I finished arranging the dishes on the table and lit up the fragrant candles. It was the first time we were going to face each other after that night, I wanted it to be special. Maybe his feelings for me have changed.Maybe he was going to say that he loves me.Maybe I will get pregnant with his child and we can finally start our life together.My train of thought was stopped by the
Emma's POVI did not respond and stayed still, it was not that I did not want to respond but did not know what to say at this point. We have been married for three years and all this time, I stayed dedicated to him. I gave up on my career and left behind the life I could have lived to be treated like a maid in this house. But even after all these sacrifices, it only took one accusation from her to throw me out.Alpha Draven did not stick there any longer, he picked up his coat and stormed out.Now that the house was empty and back to being lifeless, I got the time to sort out my thoughts.I recalled that night three years ago, I was in the pack kitchen all day, arranging the pantry all by myself. Could this be a misunderstanding?I picked up my purse and headed out of the house. I called a cab and asked them to take me to the hospital where Stella was currently hospitalized. I wanted to hear the truth from her.I got into the elevator and reached the topmost floor, at the end of the
