TYLER:Karen and I got to the party. As much as I hated to admit it, Karen was really good at convincing me and making me do things under my own will, but not like Emily.Everyday, I reminded myself about Emily, and I felt like it was the pain I had to go through for giving her up first.While Karen and I were waiting outside, my best friend Killian approached me, and seeing him once again, I let out a smile."Hey man.* He greeted me first. My gaze diverted to the damsel he was holding, and I let out a smile."Tyler, this is Caroline, my Luna."I outstretched my hands towards her and shook her. Karen, who was standing by my side, also did the same thing. Seeing the perfect relationship Killian and Caroline shared, I envied them.Killian always envied me in the past while Emily and I were still dating, and he always made it clear that he wanted a love just like the one Emily and I shared."How long has it been? You haven't changed a bit Tyler." "A lot happened over the years." I repli
EMILY'S POV:Throughout the ride back home, I was silent. I didn't say a word to Christian no matter how hard he tried to say a word to me.My wolf was infuriated at the sight of Tyler, but my heart wasn't. It always belonged to Tyler, and somehow, I still felt it did.The car finally halted. Christian tried to talk to me again, but I just ignored him and walked out of the car. I began to head into the house, and when I got in, I headed straight for my room to be alone. This was a moment in my life where I had to think of my past.I slammed the door and rushed towards the bed, using a pillow to cover my face as I cried in it. Everything was hurting so much, especially because I had seen Tyler smile. It felt like he was happy, and that I was the only one suffering and thinking about him and the past.I heard a knock on the door, but I had to completely ignore it. A few seconds later, I heard Christian's voice."I'm sorry, Emily." He said.It wasn't his fault because he had no idea that
EMILY:I stepped out of the operating room and immediately took off my mask to breathe properly as I was in dire need of fresh air.I heaved deeply when I had gotten enough and proceeded to walk away, but the door opened and Natalia immediately walked out of the room with red and swollen eyes. She has been badly scolded by Christian today as well, but that was none of my concern.For a few days, after I had seen Tyler, my heart was no longer the same. I find myself losing concentration every minute and I can't stop thinking about him.I want to lock myself up and cry my eyes out every day, but I can't. I want to curse so loudly for losing my baby, but I can't. Everything seems like it's choking me up so much, but I can't give up, I can't do anything and I hate it so much.Natalia stared at me and rolled her eyes while I watched her. I guess she was yet to understand that there was absolutely nothing going on between me and Christian, and I would never explain myself to her because she
EMILY:Christian stepped into the ward. My hands were clutched as I was staring at Karen. There was so much hate growing deeper inside of me, but at the same time, I wanted to save that baby."Let's save her," I told Christian whose hand was on my shoulders. It was a hard decision to make. "We're doctor, let's save her first.""You can leave if you can't handle it."I wanted so badly to turn around and walk away, but I couldn't. "Why should I?" "We can get her transferred to another hospital immediately. I understand how you feel seeing them here, and I'm begging you to leave Emily. You're going through enough already, so please."The tears that I had been badly holding back finally fell free. I sniffled while still staring at Karen. Christian was right, I could not hide the hate I was feeling deep down for her, and I might be overtaken by my thirst for revenge and hurt an innocent child along the line."Please." I heard Christian's voice say to me again, as I turned my gaze to him.
~EMILY~"For everything. I couldn't protect you, Emily, I'm sorry. I should have kept you away from everything. It was just my job, and I failed." Christian said to me.I still didn't raise my head high to stare at him. Instead, his words comforted me so deeply that I couldn't help staring at him. There was something about him that was making me extremely happy.He smiled at him and I brought out my hand so he would hold onto it."Thank you, Christian. From the very first day, you saved me, thank you."I smiled at him like he has smiled at me. I didn't want to tell him that I had seen Tyler outside, and what Tyler had said."You still wanna sleep? Maybe I should get your drugs."I shook my head in negation. "I want us to stay like this for a while. Stay with me till I fall asleep."Staying with Lilith was making me think less of the child that I had lost, and staying with Christian was helping me forget Tyler and the fact that he chose Karen over me again.I wanted to fall asleep soon
~TYLER~I walked out of the room a few minutes after Natalia had walked out. I took the turn she had earlier given to me and found her waiting for me at a corner."Who are you?""No time for questions. Do you perhaps know Emily?""How did you?""Just answer the question."Because I had to trust her, I nodded my head. "Yes," I replied."I can help you, Mr. Tyler, if you're willing to tell me everything I need to know. Sadly, your wife is going to be transferred, but this is out of my control."She tucked her hand into her pocket, brought out a piece of paper, and handed it to me. "Let's meet here after your wife is fine at exactly this time. I'll keep checking and once she's fine, please meet me here. This is how desperate I am."She wasn't lying because I could see that desperation in her eyes, but I still didn't know if I could trust her or not. It felt like she could read my mind."You can trust me, I promise. I'll prove it to you once we meet."She didn't give me the opportunity to
~CHRISTIAN~I was in my office where there was a knock on my door. Since I was expecting someone, I shut down the laptop in front of me. "Come in." And said.The door opened and Shane, my beta, walked in."Hey." He greeted me as he walked in. I instructed him to take a seat and he did."Did anyone see you walk in here?"He shook his head in negation and answered, "No.""Alright. How are things going at the company? What are the new investors saying and how many have you gotten to back down?"Shane adjusted his suit properly while I was still staring at him. He dipped his hand into his suit pocket and brought out a paper."I think you need to see this. Maybe you should consider coming over to the company yourself soon, Alpha."I collected the paper from him and read through it. This was a proposal from Tyler Lockwood. I scoffed aloud. "Do you know Alpha Tyler personally. If you do, then you're a certain he's also a powerful man."I remained silent because Shane had not even the slighte
KAREN:Immediately I opened her eyes, I groaned as my body felt a little bit numb. Cocking my head to the left, the only person I was was Tyler."Hey." He said, still seated a few inches away from me. I didn't say a word but took my gaze away from him. I had nothing to say to him after what had happened about a week ago.I was hoping Tyler would say something to me, or at least he would tell me to say something to him, but I remembered our last conversation before I got hurt and passed out. It only made me realize that Tyler never wanted me but the baby. That was probably the only thing bonding us together and keeping this marriage.The thought of it made me so scared because I knew that I was gradually falling in love with him without showing it.There was a knock on the door, and a few seconds later, the door opened. Zane stepped in. Tyler rose on his feet and walked towards him, while I stared at both of them. I had no idea what they were saying, but Zane walked up to me when they
