**Emily’s POV**My body tingled as jolts of wild electric currents ran up the length of my spine, but it wasn’t the good type of jolt; This one was the most wrong in every way. It was the type you got before everything went absolutely wrong. The type that usually served as a warning to you.The thought of meeting that Ethan boy filled me with so much worry, I didn’t understand why I would feel so uncomfortable around a person. I found it quite difficult to shake out thoughts of him from my mind, and also couldn’t stop thinking of the way he had stared at me earlier at the pool area like I was some sort of prey.In fact, thinking about it now still gives me the creeps, especially whenever I think of how he had tried to touch me inappropriately and still saw nothing wrong with what he did.The thoughts of him still made me shiver uncomfortably. I felt like I knew him from somewhere and probably for a long time, but from what I had seen of him and how I felt towards him, it was quite ob

**Emily’s POV**Rage. All I saw and felt was a red blinding rage. It coursed through my body violently, in waves strong enough to knock me down in normal circumstances.This wasn’t a normal circumstance as I just caught my mate going at it with some random woman only a few days after I was gone. Gone on a trip that he had practically forced me to.Thinking about it now, I couldn’t help but think that he had tried to get rid of me for a few days only for him to have enough time to frolic around with his mistress.An angry scream suddenly tore out of the back of my throat, which made everyone around the corridor turn to look at me in shock. They were probably this shocked because I had been the bubbling ever smiling one only a few minutes ago and now I was looking as though my world had come crashing down before my eyes.I quickly stormed to my room, ignoring their intense stares but I also felt Mary run after me.As soon as I got into my room, I left the door ajar for Mary to come in a

**Emily’s POV**“Who are you?” I asked, still in shock. I could hear her muffled giggles in my head and I winced, desperately looking for a way to shut out the noise, but all my efforts seemed fruitless as her voice resounded over and over in my head until I was sure I would go crazy.“I’m Ariel…your wolf.” She replied in a manner that had traces of giggles lined in every word.Oh wow, I had a wolf too? Like those ugly beastly things that Alpha Alexander had almost turned into?“I never knew I had a—” I started saying but stopped halfway when Mary’s voice cut through the fog in my head.“Em, I think you would have to be taken to Alpha Alexander’s room tonight; your room’s a mess and you can’t sleep here.” She said, looking at me with eyes that seemed almost…sympathetic?I could notice the look she shared with me and I could say that she obviously wasn’t in support of me sleeping there either but at the same time, couldn’t invite me over to hers.I didn’t want to sleep over at Alexand

**Alexander’s POV**I could feel myself getting lightheaded from fear, and no matter how hard I tried to shake off the feeling that something bad was about to happen to Emily, I couldn’t.My heart pounded in my chest as I hastily dashed out of the house, in the direction of the river as I went in search of that thing that screamed in a voice that was so much like that of Emily.It was extremely dark out and there were no traces of life; not even that of animals. I squinted into the dark, cursing at the moon for not providing the earth with enough light this night and at the same time, remembering how stupid I was for coming out here alone without informing any of my security personnel.“EMILY!” I yelled into the darkness over and over again but no reply came forth.It almost felt like I had imagined the scream I heard and that I was just being paranoid over little things, but the fact that she wasn’t in her room by this time of the night stood as a gentle reminder, it frightened me.

**Emily’s POV**Several weary thoughts scattered and rearranged severally in my head that I couldn’t even lay my fingers on; there were some that I didn’t even know what they were but just stayed in my head, occupying space..My body and head ached painfully, making droplets of tears leak out of my eyes on their own accord. I didn’t feel too great either as my stomach hurt too; but what bugged me the most was the restlessness I felt in my heart.I felt like the was something missing, a huge chunk of myself missing that I had to get back; I also felt like there were certain things I ought to know, some very important information that I needed but just cannot find the right person to help me with it.I had just woken up from a sleep plagued with nightmares, and I couldn’t help but think that it could be the reason I was in such a very bad and restless mood.I desperately needed answers; answers to why I had the weirdest of dreams every night but still cannot remember a thing from my pas
