The moment that I walked out, Jace followed me silently. He didn't speak and when I remember that he cried earlier it made my heart crushed into pieces. I really wanted to hug him now but the goddess knew how much I controlled myself from doing that.I was preventing myself from doing anything that could ruin all my plans and I was grateful that Jace didn't disturbed me. We kept on going until we arrived at the place where Justin tells me when we are still at the kingdom. Meanwhile, the forest seemed melancholy. There's no hint of anyone here and it started to scare me. But Jace didn't allow me to feel frightened because he walked in my direction.He stays close beside me and damn it works. Jace's presence really helped me to feel calm.“Listen to what the trees were trying to say, Margaux.”As he spoke those words, his eyes were in the other direction. Jace was checking the forest and then I remember what he just mentioned to me. I tried to read what the leaves of the trees were tryi
My eyes were still fixed to the man who introduced himself as the Alpha from a new pack. I am certain that this is the first time I saw their faces. I was glad that they were on our side.“I am thankful for helping us. My deepest pleasure to meet you, Alpha Ken of the new pack.”The wolf named Ken stepped his legs near my direction. He took one of my hands, and kissed the back of it.“My deepest pleasure to meet you too. The humor is right. The queen of the Southeast Kingdom was undeniably beautiful, attractive and kind-hearted.”Those compliments that I heard from him makes me smile so widely. I just can't believe that he's going to praise me like that. And before I could even respond, Jace did something which made us turn our heads in his direction. “You don't need to kiss the back of her hand, Alpha.”His voice seemed threatening to Alpha Ken. It made me a bit shocked and think.Why would he be jealous?“You know the answer, Margaux.” Luna interrupted me, so I shook my head.“I kn
I bit my bottom lips to stop myself from crying. This is not yet the perfect time for me to cry. I don't want to cry in front of Jace to make him think that I still have feelings for him. I'll let him believe that I don't love him but the truth was, I still did. The love I felt for him was eternal and maybe because we are destined soulmates.“Then that's good.” I responded.Jace put his hands inside of his pockets and faced me with confidence.“I won't disturb you anymore, Margaux. You know that I love you and because of that, I am willing to grant your wish. Don't worry because you are still the woman I love and I will wait for you even if there's no chance anymore for you to go back into my life.”I didn't say anything. Jace kept on talking and I was there only to listen.“I can wait for you, Margaux. Just tell me if you are willing to accept me. I'm sorry for everything that I've done for you. My life fucked up and I deserved this. I was in deep pain right now knowing that you reje
It's another day but I woke up with a headache. I'm not sure what time I fell asleep last night. All I know is that I couldn't sleep while thinking about Jace. He preoccupied my head that much and I don't know what to do now.But my plans will still be pursued. I want to talk to Jace and settle what happened to us. There is no way that I would allow myself to suffer again. I love him and I am ready to forgive him. But I do hope that I was not late yet.I turned my head at the door of my room when I heard three knocks. My heart was pounding so fast by that thought, so I got up from the bed to check it.“Emerald?”My brows furrowed when I saw Emerald standing in front of my room. She smiled and walked inside of the room.“I heard what happened.”I bit the bottom of my lips before speaking to her.“Did Luke mention it to you?” I asked and she nodded her head.“Yes and he told me to come here. Your brother doesn't want you to be alone, so he sent me here to accompany you.”I can't stop fr
It was dark in the forest as I ran through it. The only way for me to better see the night was my wolf's ability of seeing even during the night. I could feel my legs almost giving up because I never stop by to rest. I'm afraid that I might not be able to reach them. There is no way that I would let Jace, my mate, find another woman to replace me.I don't care about the cuts that I've got when I bumped onto a stony road. All that matters to me is to reach on time, so I could stop the ceremony.The pack was a bit far from the southeast kingdom, but I arrived at the exact time. The white full moon was slowly appearing from the dark sky, which means that Jace would be about to mark Criselda. But I did my best. I already arrived at the Red Moon Pack and immediately shifted back to my normal form. The coat that Emerald gave me was the one that I used to cover my naked body.And Luke was right. There was really a ceremony there. He is not lying. Jace was about to be mated by Criselda and as
Jace and I gasped for air when our lips separated from each other. My gaze was from the other direction because I couldn't look in his eyes. I still feel embarrassed for pretending to be cold-hearted.“You didn't know how happy I am now, Margaux.”When he said those words, I turned my gaze back to him. I looked at him deeply into his eyes and all that I could see was love. He loves me and that's enough for me to hold on. It's enough for me to keep fighting for our love for each other.I have never regretted giving him another chance and I know I am not. After everything that happened to us in the past has reasons. Jace let me go because he thought we were just related to each other. Now the truth has already prevailed, we can be with each other now. I hope that no one would come to disrupt the both of us.Jace held my hands while he was looking at my eyes. I bit my bottom lips to stop the tears that were about to fall from my eyes. I'm just tired of crying. All that I want to do right
Jace was kissing me and I wrapped my hands around his neck to support my trembling knees. My eyes were closed as I responded to the intimate kiss that he was giving to me. I could feel all the blood awoke in my whole body when I felt Jace's hot breath against mine. He lifted me just to slam me against the wall. I bit my bottom lips as the hard cement hit my back but it didn't hurt at all. Instead, I felt the unexplainable sensation that I used to feel when Jace and I were about to make love. Excitement is what I felt as well and I couldn't wait to reunite with him for almost a year. Jace lifted me so I wrapped my legs on his waist to support myself from falling down.He was still kissing me and I could feel butterflies circling around my stomach in pleasure as Jace and I savoured each other's kisses. I don't know what time we stopped kissing until his lips went down to my neck. Jace placed small kisses around my neck, licking it like a lollipop and made the strands of my hair stand o
I wouldn't be able to wake up if I didn't notice that someone is kissing my cheeks. Jace was the one that I saw, now smiling at me.“Good morning, beautiful.”The way he called me made my heart jump out of happiness. This man never stops making me happy.“G-good morning, too, Jace.” I stuttered.He lay down next to me and now hugging me. “Did I wake you up?”I smiled and closed my eyes while responding to him.“You did but it's good. I still have work at the king—DAMN.”I stood up from lying in bed next to Jace when I remembered the kingdom. I've almost forgotten that I have a duty as a queen in the southeast kingdom.“What's the problem?”I look at Jace and let out a deep breath.“I need to go, Jace. There are still many things that I have to do at the southeast kingdom and—” Jace shut my mouth by giving me a kiss. Well, it works somehow. He was able to shut me with that kiss.“Don't worry about the kingdom. Luke was there to take good care of it, and I asked for an update. Everyth
Having Jace beside me was the most memorable experience that I have in life. Our lunch became our dinner. We both enjoyed the moment of being with each other doing anything we love at the park. The park is more beautiful and attractive at night. All the kinds of funny and thrilling yet memorable games had opened.We didn't expect that there would be a show during the night and the park sky would become colorful at midnight. They say, there would be a fireworks show later on and me and Jace decided to stay here to witness that. It's my first time seeing fireworks and I can't wait for that.“I love to see the smile on your face.”My face flushed from what Jace had uttered to me. The two of us were currently riding on a ferris wheel. I was screaming earlier but later on, I got used to it. We would like to see the fireworks here and it would be good to watch it here from above.I didn't respond from what he uttered to me. My head just shook and I turned my head to the sky. Eyes widened as
My knees were shaking when those words came out from Jace's lips. It never appears to me that he was about to say that. I just can't believe that he will tell me that I was the only woman he's obsessed with. But whatever he wants to tell me, I don't want to believe in that. I will not give in to him.“Just for once, Jace. Can you please stop talking about that? I don't want to hear all of that.”He took a deep breath and then he nodded his head to me.“Okay.”His response is short. Jace walked through his table and started his work. I have managed to focus myself on the work and didn't mind him anymore. While I was doing my work, I glanced at him and he's now busy with his work. Jace was so handsome and it cannot be denied. He looks more attractive now than before and I know he's taking good care of himself because he has no responsibility to prioritize first. Jace was no longer the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack and I am no longer the queen of the southeast kingdom.The both of us have a
His words suddenly stunned me. I never thought that Jace would say that. It never reached me that he went home to the pack. But what if he's just lying to me? Should I still believe in him? “Just shut up, Jace. Don't lie to me. Like I said, you can't make me believe in you.” I uttered, making him let out a deep. He went back to his chair and was still facing me. “It's up to you if you don't believe me, but I was telling the truth. I tried to talk to you but I found out that you're no longer the queen. Luke told me that you left too.” My heart was throbbing as those words came out from him. Jace looks sincere about what he just said. I could tell from the way he looked at me. “Whatever you say, I will no longer believe you. Find someone to fool and not me, Jace.” He took a deep breath while his eyes were still on me. “I won't force you to believe me but the goddess knows more about the truth.” My head just shook as I took a seat to which I thought would be my office. “So, tell m
Jace didn't speak after those words came out from me. We focused ourselves back to the way until we arrived at our destination. Jace and I entered a tall and beautiful building which I thought could be Jace's company. I didn't know that he could run a company. It's just been a while that we haven't seen each other.“Welcome to my company, Margaux.”I just looked at him when Jace said those words. My eyes turned to those people who are now looking at me. I could feel from their eyes that they were wondering who I was. My face is not familiar to them and they are maybe wondering what I am doing here.“You don't have to say that. I don't feel like being here, and if I just had the option to disagree, I'd probably do that.”Jace just let out a deep breath after I mentioned that. He typed something that opened the door in front of us. It was an elevator and Jace motioned me to walk first. I didn't complain and just followed him. Inside, I made sure that I left a three inch gap from him. It
Jace didn't know how much I wanted to hug him now. The feelings that I have felt for him even before were still there. It cannot be removed, but the pain couldn't be forgotten. He hurt me so badly. I don't know how I could forget about it.“Just leave.”I still insisted on pushing him away. There's no way that I will allow him to come so close to me. I just don't want it. I'm scared that I might give in and do something that could hurt me once again. What we both have now is better for the both of us. It's better that we are not together because I don't know what will happen to us in the future again.“Margaux, please. You just have to listen to me.”I sent him a deathly glare of still pushing to talk to me. Jace doesn't want to give up and he's just making me so mad to him even more.“Just please, leave me alone, Jace. I don't want to talk about us, okay?”Jace took a deep breath and turned his back to leave. I don't care if I was rude to him. It doesn't matter to me if he saved me f
Grabbing all the strength left in me, I stood up from my chair and started walking through the glass wall of this office where I could see the view from the outside, particularly the whole city. Natalie followed me and she stood next to me while watching the outside view.“Don't mind about Mr. Jace, Natalie. Whatever you saw from him earlier might not be real. It doesn't mean anything. His stare on me has no meaning at all.” I responded, and Natalie smiled at me.Her eyes were still at the outside view and I have no idea what this woman was thinking about. She's maybe a human being but like I said, it's hard to read one's mind if you have no ability to read.“I'm just teasing you, Margaux. Don't take it seriously, but knowing that you will work on him, there's a possibility that something will happen.”I could feel my eyes reddened from what she said and heart throbbing. Natalie was just kidding me but the reaction of my heart does not seem to be right.“That wouldn't happen. I'm just
Natalie and I turned our gaze towards the man who entered our office. My mouth fell open when I saw him. Jace was there. He's standing in front of us and my heart was beating so fast seeing his face.“Jace—I mean, Mr. Jace, what are you doing here?” I asked, making him put his hands inside of his pockets. His reaction was still the same. I still couldn't tell what he was thinking right now.“Do you need anything from us, Mr. Jace?” Natalie asked him but I noticed the spark in her eyes.Jace didn't speak to respond to one of us. Instead, he waited for Cole to enter, so we looked at him. My reaction was filled with confusion. I was wondering what brought Jace here in our office.“Natalie, Margaux… Mr. Jace wants to say something. We already done talking at the office earlier and we had agreed,”My heart throbbed after hearing those words from Cole. I just can't wait for him to continue whatever he's going to tell us. But I noticed something. I feel like whatever Jace wanted to tell us,
I could feel the pain because of the way they pulled my hair. These girls don't want to let go of me and I don't know why. I don't know what I have done to make them this mad.“You're not leaving us!”“You have no respect, huh.”Grimacing, I manage myself to control myself from getting mad. They pushed me so hard. I have almost hit the sink, but using my strength, I have tried my best to control my body. This group of women were not satisfied. One of them grasped my hand, forcing me to look at them. Two of them held me both in my hands, while the other one was already in front of me. Their looks seemed threatening to me.“What do you guys want from me?” I asked, controlling myself to raise a voice.The one in front of me, crossed her arms and formed a smirk on her lips. She shook her head as she spoke to me.“Have you not heard what we said earlier?” She asked me.I let out a deep breath, closed my eyes to calm my shaking nerves. They didn't know that I really hated bullies. I have le
Tears wanted to fall from my eyes, but I have tried my best to control it from falling down. I don't want to cry in front of him nor let him know that I was still affected by him. The game that he's playing now, I was able to play it without losing it. Jace can't make me fall down.A deep breath had escaped from me after he's gone away. I couldn't see him anymore, which was also a perfect time that Cole had arrived. His hand was on my shoulder, making me turn my head in his direction. His eyes furrowed, with a glimpse of questions deep inside.“Are you okay?”Cole was asking me, so I took a deep breath before responding to him.“Yeah, I am. By the way, what happened? I thought you and Mr. Jace would talk more about—”Cole already cut me from talking before I could finish whatever I wanted to say about.“Mr. Jace told me that we will continue our discussion soon. He will set an appointment because there was an important thing he needed to attend.”Even though I already know what Jace's
