Chapter 120Alexander's POVSitting in my office, my head was filled with thoughts of Emily. I didn't even notice the presence of Chad in my office until he was standing in my line of vision."Hey," Chad said.I jumped slightly at the intrusion. Although I knew he was there, I couldn't help but be startled.I let out a sigh as he sat in front of me."You didn't even notice my presence when I walked in." He said and continued. "You can't let this dilemma get to you. It's eating you up. Can't you see you're becoming a shadow go yourself? You're barely the Alpha I know anymore."I rolled my eyes and attempted to picture what Emily was doing or, worse, going through. Maybe she was being tortured. My hands tightened into a fist as I imagined killing both father and daughter. But I knew the power of killing Emily was in their hands if I attempted such."Are you even listening to me?!"I jumped again as Chad shouted.Chad scowled."What?" I grunted."Did you listen to a word I just said?" H

Alexander's POV"The body isn't in the morgue; we have to receive the jurisdiction of Alpha Alexander before carrying out any action." The guard said as we stepped down from the car. "In that case, let's go," Chad said.I, on the other hand, was lost in thoughts, hoping that Emily wasn't the girl found dead.I didn't even realise that we had reached the scene of the incident until my nostrils were attacked by that pungent smell that always came with death. Slowly going down on my knees, I crouched beside the body to see the girl who had been brutally murdered and hated to say this, but I felt relieved when I got close to the corpse and realised it wasn't Emily."I told you not to worry; Rosie or her father would never kill Emily. They know what that would cause them as she didn’t do them any wrong." Chad said, noticing the slight smile on my face. "I guess so," I mumbled, examining the girl. "She must have been a rogue running for her life, but her enemies caught up with her and de

Emily's POV.I was blindfolded and placed in a truck; I could tell by the sound of the engine.The truck drove for a very long time. My wrists were bound together with rope, the rope rubbed against my skin.The sound of gravel crunching beneath our feet sent chills up my spine. It felt like being on a train at night. It was pitch black and so loud, it drowned out all thoughts. I heard the door to the truck open, and my ear was instantly alert, I stilled waiting for what was coming to me.I was dragged out by the soldiers and thrown to the floor roughly, I landed on my back. The air was knocked out of me as they dropped to their knees on either side of me. I tried to catch my breath but couldn’t, the pressure around my neck was suffocating.My vision blurred as tears filled my eyes, I squeezed them tightly trying not to cry out.I choked a little and I felt one of them walk to me, and remove my blindfold and also the choker on my neck.I heaved a sigh of relief, excited that I was fr

Alexander POV.I let out a faint smile as I got into the car but still didn’t ask about where we were off to.A few minutes later, I was a bit surprised at his speed as he accelerated the car. We halted in front of the Pack's hospital at a surprising time frame and stepped out to see Andrew already waiting for us."Andrew, what's the new development you have for us now?" I asked."Come with me," Andrew said and we followed him into the morgue.It smelt unpleasant but was way colder than I expected; I shuddered slightly before pinching the bridge of my nose."Alpha, this dead girl is not just a normal girl, she's Laurel the daughter of Emily's father's Gamma," Andrew said.My eyes widened in shock and my heart thumped. I remembered how Emily had talked about wanting to look for her because they were captured together. Shit, they’d been friends, best friends.“How are you so sure of that?” I muttered, glancing up at Andrew who immediately pulled out a folder close to the dead girl.I di

Emily's POVI was still mesmerized by the beauty and elegance this room possessed.Feeding my eyes around the room, pretending to forget that I had a file in my hands."Are you going to hold that all day? Come on, have a look at the contents in that file?" Ethan affirmed with a stern questioning look on his face.I wondered why he was watching me and waiting for me to open the file. I guess he wanted to see my reaction. And might I add, his gaze unnerved me. It makes my skin crawl and I resisted the urge to throw up.I opened the paper slowly while keeping My eyes dilated as I gazed upon the papers."It's marriage papers!" I exclaimed."Yeah it's our marriage papers, we're married don't you remember?" I noticed the worries in Ethan's eyes, he waited earnestly for my response. "I can't... I don't remember." I quickly said, imagining how Ethan could come up with a shady plot like this."You don't have to remember, we're having our anniversary today. It's going to be wonderful, I have
