**Emily’s POV**It has been exactly six days, two hours and twenty-four minutes since the day Alexander sent me out of his bedroom.Ever since then, I haven’t laid my eyes on him. It was almost as if he had disappeared into thin air, leaving me in a confused mess.I shouldn't bother about him or what he does, but I was. He was a beast and could kill me if I made a wrong move but the rest of the sanity I had left in me wasn't functioning when his name came up in my head, I presumed.Instead of running away, I wanted to be close to him.Further, I wanted to explain to him that I didn’t intentionally burn his footboard. I wanted to make him understand that I wasn’t a spy sent to him. Lastly, I desired to let him know I had finally learned how to summon the quiet flame and that I could, in fact, use it against my foe if only he would help me.I found Alexander to be the best person who'd help me defeat Alpha Marcus as he was formidable.Heck, both were formidable. But I heard a lot about
**Emily’s POV**The kiss seemed to ignite a special kind of fire in my body.I closed my eyes fearing it was one of those really realistic dreams people had, and that I would soon wake up, but I was soon snapped back to reality when I felt myself being lowered onto his bed.It was real! It was fúcking real!I felt his hands tug at my panties from under my dress but my thoughts were too fuzzy to think of what he was about to do.I waited for the feel of his finger in my wetness, just like the first time. But nothing happened.Rather, I felt his hand around my neck.My eyes tore open in shock as his large hand wrapped around my neck.“This is what I bought you for!” He whispered, pressing harder on my neck.Alexander's eyes became darker and I gasped.“S-stop!” I sputtered, desperately trying to pry myself free from his grasp but it was to no avail. My eyes went up as thoughts of this being my end sprang into my mind. “Please let me go.” I cried, beating against his chest with my fists
**Emily’s POV**Hot tears kept pouring down my eyes in high torrents even as I sprinted through the grassy field to my old bunker.I felt worse when I ran past a young couple making out under the bright silver rays of the moon.The moon Goddess blessed everyone else with a mate and gave me an unfeeling monster!I shut my door as soon as I ran into my room and allowed the torrents of tears to flow freely.I felt used.Embarrassed.Irritated.And most of all, anger. I wasn't really mad at Alexander for using me like that, I was mad at myself because I knew exactly what he wanted.Even before it started, I should have put an end to it but I let him have his way.I sat quietly in a corner of the room, sobbing, and rocking my aching self until I fell into a peaceful slumber…**Alexander’s POV**Today was a shitty day. As shitty as the entire week. I've hardly been able to get a wink of sleep for about two weeks now due to stress. Rogues were attacking my borders every day and it was fast b
**Emily's POV**“Get out!” Blondie yelled.We met again. Not in a favourable condition. I wonder if we would keep meeting this same way."Fúck off whore, didn't you hear me?!" She said again. Her eyes narrowed at me.For a moment I was too stunned, I couldn’t move. My eyes blurred as I took in the sight in front of me.“I never asked for food,” Alexander said, glancing between me and the tray balanced on my hips.“Don’t you know how to knock?!” Blondie snarled. I heard the impatience in her voice as if she couldn't wait for me to vanish.I wasn’t sure whose question I had to answer first. I wasn’t sure I even wanted to answer any, so I did the only thing I could think of.I dumped the tray of food in my arm on his large table and stomped out of the office.Surprisingly I didn’t cry. Not even a tiny droplet fell.Even though I just walked in on him in the arms of another woman only a few hours after he had fúcked me like a beast.I wasn’t sure how I felt about that, but I certainly was
**Emily’s POV**Alexander watched me for the longest time before he cleared his throat.“I asked you to be ready by eight.” He growled, stepping towards me.I took a step back in alarm.“It's fúcking past eight already!” He barked. "And who the hell do you think you are to disobey my order?!"His grey orbs glinted.“I’m sorry, but there isn’t any wall clock in this building. So, I won't know if it's past or not. I got dressed immediately when she arrived.”I apologized, even though I was sure it wasn’t entirely my fault.He reached for my arm, and I instinctively stepped back.My response seemed to anger him the most.“Are you wearing undies?” He asked.“And why will you even ask that?!” I snapped but regretted it when his gaze darkened immediately.He stalked forward and I took a step backward until my back pressed against the wall.Alexander slapped his hands above my head on the wall and he hissed. “Did you just snap at me?”One of his hands held my chin up to meet his blazing eyes
**Emily’s POV**Ethan smiled at me and I managed a small smile whereas I wanted to draw out a sword and pierce his freaking disgusting heart.His father killed my parents, made me a freaking orphan and he had the nerve to smile at me.He fúcking had the nerve to even stare at me.I drew in a staggering breath to calm myself, then glanced away from him.For the rest of the meeting, I concentrated on the meeting, rather than him.My head ached and I shivered continuously from fear. I felt like I was about to pee on myself as I couldn’t help but notice the incessant long stares Prince Ethan threw my way.I wasn't sure if he recognized me, not if his father still wanted me dead.But I was afraid. It was obvious yet I was trying hard to downplay it.I breathed out a sigh of relief I never knew I was holding when the meeting came to an abrupt halt, and all of the aides including myself were sent out of the room.Just as I was about to leave with the other slaves, Alexander clasped my hand a
**Emily’s POV**I smiled to myself for the remaining hours of the day.Even Ariel was as excited as I was. She mentioned she might have had her first real encounter with Alexander’s wolf. But she wasn't certain and was only joyous as Alexander rescued me.I sighted him coming towards me and I waved at her. "The Alpha wants to see you, Emily."“What for?” I asked, feigning confusion. I didn’t want to give my overly excited state away.“I don’t know,” she answered, picking at her nails, “He only asked me to send for you.”“Uhm okay!” I squeaked out.I was kind of excited and nervous at the same time. I didn't know the reason Alexander wanted to see me. But, I hoped it wouldn't be awful.I noticed the pointed look Mary tossed my way, but I ignored her and focused my attention back on what I was doing earlier— mopping.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” She shrieked at me, making me look up at her in shock.“What do you mean?” I asked with a frown; “I am mopping the floor for fuc
**Emily’s POV**The kiss only lasted a few seconds before he pulled away. I frowned, staring up at him. "What's the matter?"His expression was as unreadable as ever and he let out a grunt.I felt embarrassed. I shouldn't have let him kiss me. He must be thinking I was cheap.Maybe I was since I did everything I wouldn't do with anyone with him.But then, he wasn't just anyone. He was my mate.It was the reason I was giving myself to him aside from wanting him.Nonetheless, I feel embarrassed.“I don’t know why I’m about to help you avenge your people,” He said, frowning, “Maybe it’s because of our mate bond."Alexander twisted his lips at the last sentence.I knew he heard an aversion for the word and had almost punished me the first day I said so.But, I didn't enjoy seeing the disgust on his face."But don’t take my kindness as me accepting the moon goddess’s decision and accepting you as my mate.”Another rejection. And it hurts even more than the first one.We fúcked several tim
