Mia's POVDr Emma Silver.... Who is she? Yes, I know she's a doctor but who is she really?She just got into this pack yet she managed to grab the attention of my husband. During the dinner, everyone's gaze suddenly shifted as soon as she walked in. I won't deny it. When she came in dressed in her designer red dress, she looked stunning. Even I was a bit intimidated. As soon as I saw her, I knew she would be trouble. I confirmed this thought of mine when I saw Rhys shake her hand. My blood boiled as I watched them. Not only did he stop there, he proceeded to stare at her throughout the dinner. Even when I walked up to them to introduce myself, he couldn't stop looking at her.. I know my husband. He doesn't get entranced by women easily but when he does, he becomes fixated. The only woman I've seen him look at this way was Arabella. He has never been so in awe of a woman as he had been with Emma. If not that I had confirmed Arabella's death, I would have been certain that Emma
Arabella's POVAfter I did the blood transfusion on Bruno, I saw the look on Mia and Craig's faces.Mia looked so relieved. She literally cried tears of joy.Craig looked relieved too. Earlier, he looked worried. He had the look of a worried father.What if...?I know this might be a long shot but what if Rhys isn't the father of this child?I know what I'm saying might be considered treason but it's not impossible. I'm a medical doctor. I see these things happen all the time. That's the reason DNA tests are rempant these days. A lot of partners aren't faithful.Mia has always been a selfish person so if she has been unfaithful to Rhys, it's not out of her character.I know for a fact that Craig is not her brother. She can't deceive me.How stupid does she think I am?They don't have a sibling bond at all. There's no single similarity between them.If he was really her brother, she wouldn't have brought him for the transfusion.She told me Bruno has never had a transfusion before. Si
Alpha Rhys' POVEmma...It might seem like just a name but it's been ringing in my head ever since I met her.Ever since the night I first laid eyes on her, I haven't been able to get her off my mind.No woman has ever been able to capture my mind like this. The only woman I've ever felt this Captivated about is Arabella. After Arabella died, I was certain that no woman would make me feel the way she did.I was sure of my thoughts until now... Until Emma came along.I've only met Emma on one occasion yet she's managed to invoke sensations in me that I didn't think were possible.She's awoken something in me that I can't explain. Her sense lingers in my head.She's like a drug that I can't get enough of.I know I'm married. I know I'm mated to someone else but I can't help it.I can't help the way I feel about her. Mia and I have been married for years. Mia is my mate but I don't feel anything like this for her, not even close. I've tried to block out all thoughts of Emma from my mind
Arabella's POVWhen Mia brought Bruno to my apartment for treatment, we had a nice chat. She suggested that our kids should have a play date just like I said.I was more than happy to oblige. That way, Delinda could absorb some of Rhys' energy in the palace without anyone knowing. An Alpha's aura is strong enough to be present in his house even when he's not there so I wasn't even bothered about Rhys being around. I just needed her to get some of his energy.Apart from that, this would be the perfect way for Mia and I to bond as friends. I want to be close to her by all means necessary. I need to get her to trust me. It's only through this that I'll get her to tell me things. The next day, I brought my kids to the palace to play with Bruno.While the kids played outside, Mia and I had some tea in her private living room while we conversed.I scammed the area for Rhys now and then. I couldn't find him anywhere.I still want to spark some drama with him. I could kill two birds with on
Alpha Rhys' POVComing back into my office, the last thing I expected was to see Emma sitting in my chair... With her legs crossed.She had a sly smirk on her face.Quickly, I locked the door behind me. Mia moves in unpredictable ways. She could come upstairs to check on me.What would she say if she saw us in this compromising position? I don't want any problems.I couldn't help the feelings that ignited in me at the sight of her.Her tight dress enhanced all her curves. I could see the tip of her nipples through her dress.The way she crossed her legs made me wonder. I badly wanted to spread her legs wide so I could see what was underneath. It's all I can think about these days."Rhys, you can't think like this! This is a married woman with kids. You're also a married man with kids" my subconscious reminded me.My subconscious is right. My mind is telling me one thing but my heart is saying another.I want her more than I've wanted any woman in this world. I can't deny my feelings f
Arabella's POVI smiled confidently at him "Let's see if you fall or not"He frowned "I won't. I suggest you take the little dignity that you have left and leave my office. You're embarrassing yourself. I wonder how your husband would feel if he found out about your attitude"At his words, anger fueled my veins.How dare he talk to me like that?He's speaking to me as if I'm some cheap shore.Why is he pretending that he's happy with Mia? We both know he's not. His marriage is fake. It's as clear as day.I got up in anger "Suit yourself then"I flipped my hair and then stormed angrily out of his office.If not for revenge, I would want nothing to do with him ever again.Who the hell does he think he is?Staying in the palace will only make me angrier. I need to leave here. I think I've overstayed my welcome enough. I went back to the living room."You're back," Mia said, dropping her teacup.I smiled at her "I got another phone call. I have some documents to sort out at home. It's f
Alpha Rhys's POVI did my best to concentrate on my paperwork but all I could think about was Emma.I feel like such a jerk.I shouldn't have spoken to her in such a manner.It's just that, I was fighting my desires. I don't want to give her hints that I like her. It could blow up in our faces.I'm fighting a battle inside me.Still, I shouldn't have spoken so rudely to her.She must feel bad.I shifted my papers to the side. I can't work in this state of mind.I need to see her. I have to apologize.She might still be home. I should go downstairs to see her and tell her how sorry I am. I doubt that she would forgive me so easily but it's worth a try. It's the right thing to do.I got up and made my way out of my office. I went downstairs to the living room.My heart rate increased in my chest as I movedI'm a bit nervous to know her reaction. I wonder what she must think of me now. I don't want her to see me as a man who disrespects women...When I got to the living room, I saw Bruno
Arabella's POVI sat in my dimly lit living room. The room was dark apart from the soft glow of a single lamp. I poured myself a glass of wine and took a sip as I let my thoughts consume me. Alpha Rhys. His name echoed through my mind. This is a man who had ignited a spark of attraction within me once. Why does it seem that this desire refuses to fade? Wait... Why am I thinking like this? I'm supposed to hate this man. I hate the fact that he has rejected my advances time and time again. Could he really love Mia? Why am I even bothered? Maybe it's the wine that's affecting me. I'm here for revenge and that's it. I shouldn't care if he likes me or not. I do want him to want me so that I can infiltrate his marriage. I took another sip of the wine, letting it dance across my taste buds. I can't deny something. Rhys was magnetic. His presence commanded attention. If I'm being honest, I was drawn to him like a moth to a flame. I crave his attention. His chiseled jawline, pierci
