REAH'S POV 

My eyes were fixed on the marriage certificate in my hand that served as evidence of my wedding. I couldn't believe I just got married to my first love, the guy I've always been in love with, without him even knowing. 

Though the love wasn't that great at the moment as he seemed to dislike me for some reason I had no idea about, I knew he would get to like me when he found out how good of a girl I could be. Maybe he once was hurt by a girl?

Well... I just had to help him heal, right?

I looked at him, studying his handsome face that was enough to send any girl into a fantasy dream and a small blush found its way to my cheeks. I covered my mouth, lowered my eyes and chuckled secretly. 

"Reah!" An angry call from my side woke me up from my dreamland and I was startled. 

My heart raced violently as I turned my head to see Alpha Xavier, who was glaring at me as if he was ready to burn me alive. He glared furiously at me, his eyes sparkling with unquenchable fire and my heart palpitated. 

"What..." I couldn't complete a sentence when he grabbed my neck and locked me to the car, his face close to mine as he searched my face. 

"Tell me this information is a lie," He muttered, his voice a low whisper. 

I was confused, what was going on? 

I grabbed the hand that held my neck which was getting tighter by the second and struggled fiercely "What the hell are you talking about? Free me!" I yelled with all the strength I could muster while hitting his hand. 

His expression turned darker as he removed his hand from my neck, making me fall to the side. "Are you a witch?" His anger was no longer so obvious but I knew he was still very angry. However, what truly surprised me was the question he asked. 

"Witch? What's that?" I asked, giving him a questioning look as I coughed lightly and touched my neck which still felt quite painful even after it was released. 

His eyes flashed and he moved to grab my neck again but I quickly moved backwards "Can you just tell me what is wrong? Why do you keep hurting me?!" I yelled, trying my best to make sure no tears escaped my eyes as I would hate to act weak in front of him. 

"Are you a witch?" Each word came out of his mouth with disgust. He made it very obvious that the word "Witch" was his biggest enemy and that made me even more scared. 

Fear gripped my heart as I tried to open the car door without him knowing. "I'm human, I'm not a witch. I'm fully human," I told him, hoping he would believe me while also wondering why he would think of me as a witch. 

He growled, he looked at his Beta, who was sitting in the driver's seat without any care in the world. It was like he wasn't even there at all and nothing was happening behind him. "Get out," Alpha Xavier said to him and my eyes widened. 

I opened my mouth to beg him not to leave but it was too late and by the time I turned around, he already closed the door, leaving Alpha Watson alone with me inside the car! "What are you going to do to me?" I couldn't help but ask with fear in my tone. 

He moved closer to me and grabbed my hand, pulling me closer to him. "I can confirm if you are one," He said as his hand grabbed my shirt and pulled on it. It was so sudden that I wasn't able to stop him on time and by the time I was able to, he had already broken off the buttons, revealing my breasts which were only covered by my bra!

I closed my eyes, covered my mouth and screamed. I couldn't believe what was going on. I couldn't believe what just happened and why it happened. He... He really did this to me?

I thought it was going to end there, I thought he wouldn't go further but I found out that was all in my head when I felt my bra released and removed from me! 

He tore my bra too!

I opened my eyes to see my breasts, fully exposed in front of him with nothing covering me at all. He stared at my breasts for a few seconds before he grabbed my hand, pulling me close again. He turned me around, raised the torn shirt and looked at my back. 

There was silence in the car for a few seconds, I couldn't cry, I couldn't scream, I couldn't even think about anything as my entire mind was blank. What the hell was happening to me?

He suddenly turned me to face him again and his hands moved toward my skirt as if he was going to cut that too. I quickly moved back, placing my hands on my skirt as I glared at him. "If you touch me with those filthy hands of yours one more time, I swear, I will kill you!" I yelled as tears rolled down my eyes. 

I could no longer pretend to be strong, I wasn't strong at all and being treated this way broke me more than I could ever imagine. Especially when it came from the man I had always loved!

He stared at my face and his eyes fell on my exposed chest. His eyes flashed for a few seconds before he removed his jacket and threw it at me. "Wear this." He said, turned around, opened the door and stepped down. "I'm waiting for you right here." He added before he closed the door. 

I was still staring at the jacket when I heard his next word to his Beta and I froze... What the heck?!

  • CAGED IN HIS EMBRACE    CHAPTER 50: ISABELLA

    ALPHA XAVIER'S POV I stared at Reah who was still sleeping peacefully on the bed. Her lips had a small smile that confused me and warmed my heart somehow. Reah was an enemy. Without a doubt, she was the little girl who tried to kill me back then and the main reason I could no longer find Mina. Knowing that I had always promised myself to kill whoever caused that fire if I ever met her again, only for me to meet that culprit and be helpless, I felt very frustrated. I was supposed to kill Reah, I was supposed to torture her and make her feel the pain I felt with Mina that day but... Mere seeing her in pain made my heart ache so much that it was usually hard to breathe. She owed me the debt of life which I was supposed to take from her but the thought of killing her alone made me feel miserable. I felt guilty. So guilty that I stopped searching for Mina because I knew more than anyone else that I didn't deserve her anymore. The fact that the culprit was living in my home as my wife

    REAH'S POV "I will take my leave now," Beta Mathew said as he left the room. I just continued waving my hand at his back absent-mindedly. Instead of reading so many books every day, I would rather just escape and return when Lady Bella returned. There was no need to continue staying in this house, right?I pouted my lips as I hung my shoulders low, it was impossible to run!I dragged the already heavy bag to the couch in the room and dropped it before sitting. I opened the first book *Fifty things a pregnant woman shouldn't do,*The title alone already looked so boring that it made me want to sleep. I stared at the book for a while before opening the first page to see what was written inside exactly. Seeing the first page, I suddenly felt intrigued because apart from the big writing of the publisher, there were pictures there too! It was like a book made for kids but that only went ahead to show how creative the writer and the publisher were. *I know how lazy pregnant women can b

  • CAGED IN HIS EMBRACE    CHAPTER 48: INVITATION

    REAH'S POV "Alright, thanks," I replied as I collected the envelope and returned to the room. I opened the envelope and brought out the invitation card inside. It was a black card, thin and long. It had a metallic feeling even though I knew it wasn't metal. Touching the paper made me realize that they must have spent a lot of money to make it. That was expected though, not all Luna had the same treatment I had in Alpha Xavier's home so there was no way they wouldn't have a lot of money to do as they wanted. I dropped the invitation card on the table and walked toward the mirror to look at myself. As expected, I was a beauty, a very beautiful girl who might have won herself a very good man if she was even a tiny bit lucky. My hand pressed on my belly and I let out a deep breath. My mind felt hazy from the tiredness...I stood up after a while and returned to the bed to rest again. All I could do for the day was sleep and sleep, right?Closing my eyes, I soon slept off and only wok

  • CAGED IN HIS EMBRACE    CHAPTER 47: FIRED

    REAH'S POV After an hour or so, Alpha Xavier stood up and walked toward the bathroom. He spent a few minutes in the bathroom before he stepped out with his towel on his waist and his eyes fell on me. "Get up and sleep on the floor," He ordered. My brows furrowed, and my mouth parted to ask him questions but in the end, I could only swallow and stand up as he said. I entered the bathroom and had a nice bath before I returned to the room in my bathrobe. I placed some blankets on the ground, slept and covered myself with another. Alpha Xavier was already in bed by the time I came out of the bathroom and he seemed to be sleeping already, too. I turned around and rested my head on my hand, wanting to look at his side profile that faced me. A long nose and a perfect side profile with a very clean skin that would make a woman jealous. I let out a deep breath and closed my eyes gently. Right then, I realized my feelings for Alpha Xavier were slowly fading away. Maybe he had indeed done

  • CAGED IN HIS EMBRACE    CHAPTER 46: EATEN CLEAN

    REAH'S POV My eyes widened and I was incredibly shocked. I subconsciously touched my lips that had been kissed, my head turned slightly to look at Gabriel but to my surprise, he was already fast asleep!"You've been having a lot of fun, Luna Reah," Alpha Xavier said coldly, his eyes dark and gloomy. The room was quiet, everyone was looking at us and the music had stopped. Joyce walked over, her face was flushed and she looked very scared "A... Alpha..." She stuttered. Hearing that, a gasp filled the room and the next second, everyone fell on their knees as if they'd done something terrible except Gabriel, who was still sleeping soundly. "Alpha!" They all chorused as greetings and some of them raised their heads to look at me. Their eyes were filled with confusion when they saw the Alpha holding my hand and I knew they must be wondering what our relationship was. Alpha Xavier left my hand and grabbed my waist "My wife must have drank a lot," He said calmly but only I knew how co

    REAH'S POV The day flew faster than expected and before I knew it, it was already Gabriel's birthday!It was a Saturday party, so there was no work hindrance and due to the nutrients I'd been taking, The doctors confirmed that my baby was very strong already.They even told me to stop as too much of everything was worse than not taking it at all. Alpha Xavier had traveled since yesterday for a business trip with Fryster which made me very happy. I did not even bother to tell him about the birthday party because he would only come on Monday ~I had arrived at Gabriel's place an hour ago, waiting for Gabriel who had gone to his office to pick up some things he forgot yesterday. Joyce and I already prepared everything. The birthday party, according to Gabriel should be very small with an attendance of not more than twenty guests. He wasn't planning to have too many guests so we decided to have the party in his house instead of renting a hall for just less than twenty guests. "We are

    REAH'S POV "You don't like the food here?" I was so surprised. Then, why did he eat with me earlier?Fryster seemed to notice my confusion as he smiled "It was your first day here and you might feel lonely eating alone. I decided to join you but the truth was that it was my first time eating here then," He explained and my eyes widened. He had his hands in his pocket as he looked at my face with a small smile on his face. His tender look moved my heart and looking back into his eyes, all I saw was his concern and care. "Thanks, Fryster," I said sincerely. I felt grateful to him. Fryster's smile widened as he nodded and waved at me "You should quickly leave. Alpha already delayed you for an hour," He suggested, walking forward while I walked beside him. "You're right. I will be back soonest so you won't have to face his wrath for me," I joked and Fryster smiled. His eyes wandered to Joyce who was standing not far away from us and he immediately looked away as if he wasn't pleased

  • CAGED IN HIS EMBRACE    CHAPTER 43: SHOPPING

    REAH'S POV Staring at the countless papers on the ground, I felt a deep ache in my heart. I checked my time and realized it was only one hour to Lunch period which I was planning to use with Joyce but looking at the papers on the ground, I doubted I would be able to finish it in two hours even if I tried my total best. I looked at him, pondering what to do but then again, standing was wasting more time so I decided to get to it. I had taken the nutrients which in turn gave me the confidence that my child wouldn't be easily hurt. I started arranging the papers, picking them according to dates, relevance and categories. Some talked only about one product and needed to be placed together, some might be about hotels, which must be placed together. Like that, I arranged the papers as quickly as I could. Not long after, my phone started ringing and when I looked at the caller, I was surprised to see that it was an unknown number. I hesitated a bit but still decided to answer the call "H

  • CAGED IN HIS EMBRACE    CHAPTER 42: NUTRIENTS

    REAH'S POV "Whatever, I have to keep working now. You should sit here and wait for me," I explained and at the same time decided that I would explain how werewolves worked to Joyce later so she wouldn't say anything that shouldn't be said around them, thinking they wouldn't hear. I guess she had no idea about their sharp ears. Joyce took my hand and smiled softly, I led her to the seat and without a word, she sat with her eyes fixed on Fryster who was busy working. I also walked to my seat and sat down. "Are you going out today again?" I asked him. Being Alpha Xavier's assistant meant that he would have a lot of work to do too. The fact that he was helping me even though he already had too much on his plate made me feel special...Fryster raised his head to look at me and held his chin as if he was deep in thought "Alpha Xavier has a meeting later in the evening around 5. He might want either of us to go with him," He explained and my eyes twitched. My heart started racing and I
