*****EMMA'S POV*****

I stood inside my room alone, staring out the window into empty space. My arms were folded tightly under my breast as my mind drifted back to when I refused to take Darrell's case.

I should be happy right now. I should feel relieved that he finally decided to leave me alone. But why does my chest feel so heavy? Like something's crushing me from the inside?

His eyes still haunt me—the way they looked at me when I turned him away. Dark and hurt. I placed my hand on my chest, and I felt my heart beating faster, like I'm scared of something I can't name. Like maybe I was the one who messed up and not him.

Did I make a mistake?

Fuck! I should've looked at that file before I said anything. I should've listened instead of just... reacting.

Whatever. He probably has tons of lawyers dying to take his case. It doesn't have to be me, right?

Then my phone rang. It's Alex.

I sighed heavily as I looked at his name showing on the screen, and I regretted that all this hap

    As I entered the morgue, my leg shook so bad I could barely control it. Aiden's holding the door open for me, but I can't look at his face or see what expression he has.My gaze was only fixed on what was in the room as I kept telling myself that all those can't be real.It can not be possible. Is that how people just die?But there it is. A body on the metal table, covered in white cloth. I took hold of myself, taking a deep breath as I summoned that courage within me.Then I walk closer, each step feeling like I'm walking through quicksand as I am scared of the face under those white clothes. Scared of who I might really see, as that definitely can't be Darrell.My hands won't stop trembling as I reach for the edge of the sheet."Emma, you don't have to…." "I need to see him. You might be mistaken." My voice doesn't sound like mine.I pulled the cloth back slowly, but when I saw his face—all the air left my lungs at once.I moved back immediately, hit the ground hard, my knees slam

    But seeing her happy and doing what she wanted makes me happy. From what I have found out about her so far, she’s hardworking, diligent and even made a name for herself, and she's now successful. I’m proud of her, but I won't say it.But where exactly is Justin? Why is he nowhere to be found? Did he abandon her?Then I heard her phone ring, and she picked it up."Hey babe, thank God you're calling. I'm really panicking right now.""Why? Does the man have two heads or something?"I touched my head, trying to see if I really had two heads. But I don't think I do."Maybe if he did, I wouldn't be this nervous. But I haven't even seen him yet.""Hey, you need to calm down. I'm sure he won't be that scary.”"I don't really know, but I know they're usually cold and strict. One order from them, you are dead. All my life I've known three Supreme Alphas: my mother's father, Darrell's father, and Darrell. And let me remind you that all of them are people you don't want to make mistakes in front

    No. This can't be real.My breath caught in my throat, the shot glass slipping from nerveless fingers to crash against the floor.I couldn't look away. My heart was hammering so hard I thought it might burst right out of my chest. She was still dancing, but now her eyes were locked on mine, and I felt like she was calling to me without saying a word, like she was pulling me toward her with invisible strings.Then, she stopped dancing. She stepped away from the pole and walked down the stage steps, moving toward me.She was wearing a deep red bra that barely even contained her breasts and a matching thong that left nothing to the imagination for every man that laid eyes on her.I couldn't tear my eyes away from her until she reached my side. Without a word, she threw her arms around my neck, and I felt the world tilt. She lifted one knee, placing it between my thighs as she climbed onto my lap, and I leaned back instinctively against the worn leather of the seat.I could feel my entire

    DARRELL'S POV"Hey," I said softly into the phone."Hey, stranger. Just checking if you're still breathing over there." Amaya's voice came through warm and teasing, like always. I could picture her rolling her eyes even though I couldn't see her.I let out a tired laugh. "Barely.""I can tell.”“ Did something happen over there?”“No, everything is fine. I called because mother asked about you. She wants to know when you're coming home, and she's a little angry that you just left your responsibilities here."I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing. Mom my ass. She's the one who is curious about when I'm coming back home."Mom, huh?" I said, not even trying to hide the smile in my voice.There was a pause, then a frustrated sigh. "I’m sorry, it's not mother.” She said in a gentle and low voice. Maybe she thought I was going to get angry that she lied. “I just... I'm worried that you haven't called in days. I know you're busy, but…...”"I'm very sorry I didn't mean to make you worr

    I opened my eyes slowly and saw his suit jacket was draped around me, covering the coffee stains."I'm sorry about your dress," he said quietly, his face closer than it should be.My skin felt like it was on fire, and I struggled to breathe properly with him this close. Without saying anything, I quickly moved past him and walked toward the door, ready to leave. But as I grabbed the door handle,his next words made me freeze on the spot."How is she?"My heart started pounding so hard it hurt. I stared at the door handle."Who are you talking about?" I asked without turning around."Your daughter. I heard you have a daughter.""She's fine," I managed to say, trying to keep it short."Good. I'm sorry, but I did some research. Not much. And I stopped because I wanted to hear it directly from you. I..s..is she m…""No." I cut him off before he could finish. "She's not yours. If she was, I would have told you before I left.""Right. I guess that makes sense.”I pushed the door open and pra
