**Emily’s POV**Alexander was like me? It was unbelievable the more I thought about it.I hadn't heard anyone say he could use such powers aside from the werewolf powers.But he was saying it and he wasn't even joking. I tried so hard to believe him but I couldn't.I stared at him so hard and my eyes narrowed, awaiting him to burst out laughing.Instead, his grey eyes twinkled.I jumped as I heard a vibration close to me. My eyes rounded as I glimpsed my bed levitating. I glanced from my hand to Alexander and I was aware I wasn't the one controlling it.He was right after all.“I can hear people’s thoughts too.” He said.“If you can hear people’s thoughts, how come you didn’t read mine when we first met, to know if I was a spy sent to you or not?”“I didn’t because I was desperately trying to shut you out. You know, I didn’t want a mate, it comes with tons of vulnerability and such…” He trailed off and I noticed his eyes were distant and sad.I didn't know what he was thinking about
**Emily’s POV**“Mark me, Alexander,” I said again, thinking he probably didn’t hear me the first time.“No Emily, I can’t.” He said, rolling off me.You’ve got to be kidding me!“What do you mean by you can’t?” I asked.My brows furrowed as I watched him slip into his clothes.One minute he was thrusting into me, the next minute he didn't want to make me.Or he couldn't. Whatever it was, I did not understand what was going on.“Because I just can’t!” He exclaimed, tossing his hands in the air.He had worn his clothes, it was even faster than I could imagine. The more I stared at the worried expression on his face, the more confused I was.“And you’re not going to try to tell me why?” My voice broke.“Like I have to explain my actions to you.” He snapped, throwing a dirty look my way.I wasn’t sure if it was his reply or the look in his eyes that made me feel this way, but I was furious.“Wait, is this what I’ve suddenly become?” I asked, tears beginning to well in my eyes. "A freaki
**Alexander’s POV**Emily was in danger. That was the first thing that came to my mind as I felt the sharp pain in my side.I had been feeling some pain but I ignored them all. I thought I could do the same all day but it had been intense. I had gone searching for her and received the news of her being unconscious.I clenched my fists as I stared at her pale face.I partly blamed myself. Yes, I fúcking blame myself because if I hadn't ignored her as if she was trash, she would not be lying almost lifeless in front of me.Again, I didn't know what I felt for Emily. It was strange. I still didn't think a mate should be given to anyone when he or she could make a choice.But, I found myself feeling strange with her. A strange feeling I couldn't wrap my hands around.“From the several tests we conducted on her, I realized she was two weeks gone…” My doctor, Patrick said, looking down at her.I bit back a curse as I gazed at him. Shit! She was with a child?!How the fúck was I not aware?!
**Emily’s POV**I woke up with a jolt. A sharp pain streamed through my abdominal region as I tried to sit up.My hand went to my throbbing temple and I winced as I felt a sharp pain at the little movement made.I grimaced as I glimpsed an IV line stuck in my vein and I realized I was in the infirmary.I stared at the IV bag and noticed a reddish liquid in it. Was that… blood?I tried recalling what happened, but my mind was still hazy.Opposite my bed, Alexander sat on the floor, his head laid on his knees which were drawn against his body.As if sensing my gaze on him, he lifted his head slowly.He had eye bags around each eye, even his beard looked like it hadn’t been shaved in a while. He looked starved and unkempt.I wonder how long I had been here and Alexander didn't strike me as someone to keep vigil by my bedside if I was out.But I was startled. Perhaps, I shouldn't judge him.“Hey.” He stared at me blankly and his eyebrows lifted.“Alexander!” I tried again. Just like the
**Emily’s POV**“Mother…” I trailed off, droplets of tears fell from my eyes but they weren’t out of sadness. I was excited to see my mother again.“My darling, child.” Mom smiled, and her hand spread out, which I ran into without hesitating.She caressed my face and cupped it. "I trust you are doing fine?"Her voice sounded strangely far away.I stared into her unblinking eyes and her thin lips stretched out in a wide smile. The beautiful smile I often enjoyed seeing on her face.“I found my mate and my wolf mother." I enthused happily. "And I seem to be able to do weird magical things.”I tilted my hand in the air, staring at it. Before glancing back at her.“That's wonderful news, child.” She smiled. “You’re capable of doing a lot more than that, all you need to do is search deep within your soul and you'll find answers to all your questions.”“I don’t understand, mother” My brows creased as I stared at her."Walk with me," She said, and she gripped my hand without waiting for me,
**Emily’s POV**I didn't know how long I sat unblinkingly. But, I was sure of one thing, it was all because of him.It was because of Alexander. He caused me a lot of pain, not to me alone but to my pup.My innocent pup."Emily," I sensed his hand shot out to grip me.“Do not talk to me!” I shrieked at him, hurling the cup filled with the stinky liquid towards him."I'm sorry."“Don’t you dare apologize to me!”Perhaps, I shouldn't blame him for what Malcolm had done but if he hadn't pushed me out, I would have been saved from all the worries.Heck, my pup would be safe and I wouldn't have anything to worry about.“I understand how you feel Emily, please calm down—”“Do not tell me to calm down!” I snapped, cutting him off, “So the reason you brought me to your room is that you feel guilty and not because you wish to?!”“I’m not acting up because you lost our pup. I’m here because I care. Because I’m sorry for everything!”He gritted his teeth, brushing his hand through his hair. He s
**Emily’s POV**“Hi,” Ethan said, coming over to sit with me on the grass.“Hi,” I responded.“Are you here to train?” He asked, pointing at my clothes, and back at the open field.“No, not really,” I replied with a forced smile. “I came out for a run about ten minutes ago, and now I’m suddenly too tired to even lift my legs.”My reply seemed to sit well with him, as he joined in my laughter. I hated his laughs, it sounded no different from a pig’s grunts.“About the other day…” he started, placing a hand on my thigh as he spoke.I glared at his hand and attempted to lift my thigh so his hand could fall, but each movement and turn I took was futile.His grip tightened on my lap as though he knew what I was on to.“I am sorry I was a bit rude."You are not sorry!"I should have apologized but I didn't get the chance to and everything…"I tuned out his voice and grimaced as my skin began to crawl. My eyes moved around the large surrounding in search of Alexander.Despite being mad at hi
**Emily’s POV**“Does this mean something bad?” I asked.My heart constricted and I could literally hear it pound. Yet, I was afraid.It was my first time and I had never thought of any complications until now.I was never told by anyone there were any difficulties associated with shifting.And I didn't know what it means to be a red wolf.It was my first time seeing the colour as well.“No!” Alexander said with a chuckle, “It obviously means you’re special.”I exhaled and glared at him."You frightened me. I thought it meant something awful and you should stop acting mysterious, you could have said it instead of looking at me like I suddenly grew two heads."Alexander shook his head but said nothing."What next?"“Now we run.” He said.My brows furrowed as I gazed at him. “Huh?”“We came here to run, so we run!” He snapped, his voice laced with laughter at my obvious loss.Shit! I hated when he did this. He knew something I didn't know. In a normal sense, he should say it to make me
