EMILY:When I woke up the next morning, I freshened up and came downstairs for breakfast. I was expecting to see Christian be seated and waiting for Lilith and me, but the dining table was empty.I halted right in front of it and looked around recalling that Christian didn't come back home yesterday. I waited for him till I decided to go to bed."Did Christian come home yesterday?" I asked a maid who was busy dusting and cleaning the living room. She shook her head in negation, and I instantly became worried.I reached for the stairs and headed back to the room to get my phone, and when I did, I instantly placed a call. After several trials, it wasn't going through.He had his life to live and he could go anywhere he wanted to, but why the hell was I worried about where he could be right now? I was even more worried that he didn't come home last night.The hospital was the only place I could check.Stupid thoughts filled my head, but I had to cast them aside because I knew Christian w

CHRISTIAN:"The baby's out!"With my nose mask still on, I took out a deep breath, and continued with whatever I was doing. My sole reason for working this hard was Emily, and as I thought about her, I was really determine to save the patient faster."Place the baby in an incubator." I instructed a nurse and decided to continue with the operation. I could still feel my heart beating fast, and the uneasiness in me getting worse."Let's patch things up." I said to the doctors who were assisting me.As I was about to carry on, I cocked my head backwards, and saw Emily standing outside through the transparent glass.A few moments later, I cocked my head back to continue the operation."Her blood pressure's dropping. I think the patient's reacting to something."I had lost concentration, and I had absolutely no idea what the fuck I was doing because I waw scared. I took two steps backwards, although not too far from the patient."Doctor Christian, what are we gonna do? At this rate, we're

NATALIA:Sulking in my pain, I wrecked my hands through my hair. My breathing was erratic, and the only thing I could feel was burning rage eating deeper into my soul.Fuck I wanted to be high…. I wanted to take some drugs and forget the pain, but sadly, I kept thinking about the look on his face when he hugged her.Christian never looked at me that way.My heart kept pounding.I left work after seeing them together because it was hard to concentrate. Walking over to the center table, I picked up the glass and bottle of alcohol on the table and poured a little quantity into it.I could feel my throat burning hot, but that wasn't still enough to make the rage inside of me stop because the only thing that engulfed my mind was what I had seen earlier. It hurts so much knowing that Christian was in love or he was gradually falling in love with Emily.I sniffled and filled the glass with more drink, then gulped down everything at a go."Fuck!!" A scream tore out of my lips when I heard my

ALPHA TYLER:Zane walked in, but he wasn't alone.I waited till the young lady was standing right in front of me before I rose to my feet and outstretched my hand for a handshake. Her face looked so cold, and red at the same time."Ms. Natalia George?"We both took our seats afterwards and I beckoned Zane to get me and the young lady a bottle of wine. When he walked away, I adjusted my suit jacket properly and cleared my throat aloud"You must be surprised I called you here.""I knew you were definitely going to seek my attention one day, and I'm glad you did." She smiled, the left corner of her cheek showing a dimple deep and beautiful."So what do you have for me, Ms Talia."I folded my legs together, leaning back on my seat and staring at the beautiful figure in front of me. As I leaned backward, she leaned forward, resting her elbow on the table keeping us apart and ensuring her cleavages were visible enough for me to see."Let's discuss your ex-wife, and mate, Emily."I knew what

KAREN POV:I stepped out of the room and began heading straight for the kitchen. Since I heard everything Tyler and his mother said, I didn't step out of my room because I had a lot to think about.Was it just me, or was my feelings for Tyler hurting me even more after I heard what he had said?He wasn't going to give up on Emily? That was fucking bullshit. All my life, I had always lived in the shadow of my step-siblings. That was always what my father made me do.My mother, who was his Luna after his first Luna had died, was treated like a slave while I was younger, and she always tried her very best to keep me safe from the cold hands of my father and my heartless step-siblings who always derived joy in bullying me.I got to the kitchen, and since I was thirsty, brought out a glass and filled it with water.After gulping down everything, I decided to calm myself down and think about everything I've been through just to be where I am.Love? Father would murder me and have my head on
