EMILY’S POV.

When I awoke, Kaye was looking down at me, with a bowl of porridge in a tray. Sadness filled her eyes when they met mine, and I winced as I tried to sit up.

“Careful.” She said, dropping the tray onto the floor, so she could help me sit.

Then, she picked it up, and placed it on my lap.

“I didn’t think I’d ever see fear on Alpha John’s face.” She said softly, spooning porridge onto the spoon.

I opened my mouth, which felt dry and cracked, and received the porridge. It was warm, and that warmth filled me.

“Immediately he slammed you into the wall, and saw the blood, he panicked. Then, he finally looked like a sane man, who could actually feel for someone. He picked you up in his arms, and called on us to see if you were okay. Then he had us treat you, while pacing around.” She said, feeding me another spoon.

“He’s dooming himself to the point of no return.” I replied, and Kaye touched my cheek.

“You used to smile so much. Emily, everyone is on your side. When you helped

    161EMILY’S POV.I could not believe John could be so cold, even after hearing Dahlia got into an accident. How could he be so cold?For a while, I paced around my room, with my thumb in my mouth, getting crushed by my teeth.Immediately I heard a car leaving, I ran to my toilet, which had a window, from which I could see the front of the house.I climbed the bathtub, and rose on tiptoes to see who had gone out. It was John’s car. Forgetting his order, I dashed out of my room, and went down the stairs, but stopped, as I saw the three men who always followed me around.Did John tell them he didn’t want me going out?I decided to go casual. Sadie and Jude were by the pool, sitting with their legs in the water.“Sadie. Jude.” I called, walking towards them.“Emily.” They both called.“I… someone I know got into an accident.” I began, trying to rush my words. Worried sick about Dahlia, every second I spent at the mansion felt like a waste.“What?” Jude asked in alarm.“John wouldn’t let m

    160JOHN’S POV.“Dahlia!” I heard Emily call, as I approached the door to her room, about to open it.“What is… what is going on!? Who are you? Why are you with her phone? What just happened? Tell me.” Emily continued to ask.“What!? The… the owner of the phone got into an accident? Ac… ac…how!?“A careless rider hit her? Why? Why would that happen!? What the hell was such a rider doing on the road? What is happening right now? Where are you taking her to?“Okay, okay, I’ll be there right now. I’ll be there!” She said, and I opened the door. She skidded to a halt, almost running into me. There were tear stains on her face, and she looked so scared that it thrilled me.“Where are you going?”“Dahlia just got into an accident. You remember Dahlia, right?” She asked, restlessly.“I do. Has she been taken to the hospital?”“They’re about to take her right now. I need to go see…“Why?”“Why?” She asked, creasing her brows, impatiently.“Is there any help you can give to her? If she dies, c

    159EMILY’S POV.“Stop.” I said, my voice ringing with terror, as I tried to push him away.“Stop? You must be kidding me. I’ve been holding back for so long. Do you know how much I’ve wanted to hold you?” His hand pushed back my hair to land on my cheeks. Even his touch made cold waves rise in my chest. Cold waves embodying terror.“John. I’m not married to you anymore. We have separate lives to live.” I said, swatting his hand from my face, staring at him with all the boldness I could muster.“Separate?” He asked, with raised brows.“I won’t let you touch me.” I said, venomously.“I’d love to see you try.” He said, dragging my arm.“John, stop! Are you going to stoop this low!? Stop it!” I cried, trying to fight against me. He pushed me to the bed, and I tried to run, feeling my heart beat right in my throat. It felt like it wanted to burst out.Before I could make it down to the floor, he dragged my hair, and I screamed, trying to pull his hand away. He straddled me, and began to t

    158LUCAS’ POV.We got to the center late at night, and I’d rather call it a fortress, instead of an ordinary building. It went high into the sky with building materials that would naturally be used for a prison. The only difference was the light colors used for the paint.I was taken in, and it looked every bit like an hospital, with people roaming around in white coats.We took the elevator, and landed on a floor that was quite funny. The cells there were disguised as rooms.A gate swung open, and I was pushed into one of them. The large wall was painted in pink, with white hearts scattered around it.To my right were bars painted in cream, and in the next room was my roommate. It was a woman with red hair spilling over her shoulders, and a large tattoo of a snake over her arm.To my left was a man, who looked completely normal and harmless. In my room, there was a large white bed, a television, a table, and a chair, with a set of drawers. The rug was a faint wine. It looked like th

    157EMILY’S POV.I hit the door severally, crying and wishing someone would just open it, and tell me Lucas had returned. Seeing him zapped with that Taser seemed to bring all my dreams crashing down.My heart was blown off into a thousand pieces, and lay at my feet. I couldn’t pick or piece them together. It felt like my heart was not pumping blood, but pain. It hurt with each beat.Finally, I was sinking down. I was sinking deep beneath the ocean of depression that I ought to have entered from the moment John broke up with me. Lucas had been the one to show up, and save me from it. He was gone, and I was finally left all alone—all alone to face John.Already my palm had turned pink, but I still hit the door, hoping I’d disturb him enough for him to hear, even though I knew he wouldn’t hear a thing.When my palm was all swollen, I ran to my window, swallowing my tears, and telling myself I’ll find Lucas.I pushed back my curtains, and opened the window. Night had fallen already. I ha
