It was a good feeling that the love of your life was hugging you like this. I never felt the embrace of my father since I was a child. We have no good communication because dad was so strict when it comes to me. I don't know why and I never bothered to ask about it.“I am really sorry, Margaux and I know that I have never been a good father to you. The goddess knew how much I regret it now and if I just can turn back the time, I will tell you how much I love you.” Dad said which made me teary-eyed. I bite my bottom lips to stop myself from crying because I was crying too much today. Leaving this place crossed my mind. We have to go before the enemy returns.“I also wanted to apologize to you, Margaux,” I was stunned again when Luke spoke. My head still remained towards my father and just listened to what Luke was going to say. “I know that I was not a good brother to you and I'm sorry if I asked for an apology just after this event happened.” He added.I bite my bottom lips to hold my
The happiness that I felt at this moment was unexplainable and indescribable. I never expected this day would come that finally, Jace and I would be back to each other. I'm no longer their enemy because I am already their ally and whatever deal that I had towards the Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack has already ended. Jace already knew about that and he was aware that I was on his side now.After the intimate scenario between Jace and I earlier, we left the pack to go home. Dad and my brother were accompanied by the Alpha's men while Jace was beside me. He was holding my hand and didn't let me go until we arrived at the pack. However, this is not the pack we used to live in. We went from the other side and that confused me.“Where are we, Margaux?” Luna asked as she noticed the place was different.“I know you're wondering, Margaux, about this place. This is the other pack that I owned. The security here was tight and no enemies could enter this place.”And before I could answer Luna's que
The rapid beats of my heart increased as we were getting closer to the clinic where Emerald stayed at. I do hope that his brother was not around at this moment because I don't know if I could still face him after what happened to her sister. It was still my fault because the man that Emerald saw was after me.Jace pressed my hand when he noticed my unusual reaction, so I turned my head in his direction.“You look pale? Do you want to rest for a while?” He asked, but I immediately shook my head in response. I didn't want to rest not until I finished talking to Emerald. My brother and father were brought to the pack doctors for their wounds to be cleaned and I know that they are safe now. We just parted ways because Emerald's room was in the other direction.I let out a deep breath first and spoke. “I am fine, Jace and there's nothing you must get worried about.”Although Jace wasn't convinced about what I had said, he still nodded his head and pulled my hand to continue walking.“Every
I could feel my legs shaking in fear and there were beads of sweat streamed down to my face as Luna had mentioned.“No! I will never allow that to happen!” I screamed in anger. Jace and Emerald looked at me in shock. I washed my face using my hands because of anxiety.“Hey, what happened?” Jace asked me and he tried to touch me but I didn't allow him. I stood up from sitting on the bed and ran away from them. Jace and Emerald were still calling my name but I didn't look back. I need to get out of here because what Luna had said made me so anxious. Thinking that the man who always appeared in my face would only bring chaos to our lives makes me feel so sick.I didn't want my relationship to Jace ruined because of him. There is no way that I would allow anyone from my enemy to be the reason for our destruction.“I am sorry if I made you anxious like this, Margaux,” Luna asked for an apology at the back of my head which made me shake my head.“It isn't your fault, Luna, because you only
The smile from my face was unstoppable as I walked my feet through his direction. Jace determined that I was already from the back and I couldn't believe it. He was able to find out my presence without looking at his back.“You're a cheater, Jace! How did you find out that I was standing there?” I asked and Jace turned around. My jaw almost dropped to the ground as I saw his body. His six-pack abs looked shimmering in my eyes and it seemed like I was tempted to caress it.“Goodness! Jace is so hot!” I uttered at the back of my head which made Luna chuckle.“Yes, he did and no doubt about that.” Luna said and I bite my bottom lips to prevent myself from smiling.Jace walked near my direction and then he wrapped his hands around my waist and made my heart jump out of nervousness. I just felt his hot body against mine, making me aroused suddenly. This sudden reaction of my body only happens when it comes with Jace and every time that I feel him, I'd always remember all the intimate lovem
Everyone was looking at me and waiting for my reaction. I could feel them so worried about what I might feel seeing the dead body of the person so close to me. My legs were trembling in pain while my heartbeats pounding so fast inside my rib cage. I could feel my hands shaking and beads of sweat rolling down from my forehead as my eyes locked to the man lying down on the ground.My legs suddenly weakened and with Jace's help, I didn't fall to the ground. He hugged me and I cried in his chest.“Why is this happening to me, Jace? Why do I have to go through this?” I asked while bursting.“I am sorry for your loss, Margaux,” he said, which made me bite my bottom lips. I wanted to stop from crying but seeing my favorite person on that f*cking ground made me cry so loud.“It's my uncle Joe, Jace. I-I can't believe he died,” I said and Jace rubbed my back to calm me down.“We found his body in the forest, Margaux. Uncle Joe was dead and he wasn't breathing when we found him.”Jack spoke up,
Mom wasn't happy about the things that I wanted to do and seeing her in pain makes me worry a lot. I held her hands and looked at her deeply into her eyes.“Listen to me, Mom, I am doing this for our loved ones. Uncle Joe was dad's twin brother. He took good care of me when I escaped from the pack and I wouldn't allow his death to go to nothing. I will avenge him and if I had to make my heart into stone, I would do that.”Tears streamed down to my mother's eyes after I mentioned all of those words. I wiped her tears and smiled towards my mom.“Don't you trust me, Mom? I am Margaux, your daughter, and you shouldn't worry about me because I know what I am doing. If you worry about the last time, I promise that it will never happen again.”Mom let out a deep breath to my words. She caressed my face and I couldn't stop myself from smiling. “I always loved you, honey. You are the most beautiful thing that happened to me and always remember that. Please take good care of yourself wherever
There are beads of sweat flowing down from my face as I get up onto the bed. I just had a bad dream and never expected it to happen.“What is that?” I asked and washed my face with my hands.“What happened, Margaux?” Luna asked and made me let out a deep breath.“That man, Luna… he appeared in my dreams. Who is he and what does he want from me?” I asked and Luna wasn't able to reply to me when Jace woke up.“Hey, what happened?”He asked me the moment that he get up from bed. I took a deep breath to calm my shaking nerves to act in front of him like nothing had happened.“I-I am fine, Jace. There's nothing to worry about. I just had a bad nightmare.” Jace furrowed his brows from what I have said. He held both of my hands while staring at me. Jace was trying to read my mind.“Please don't think that much, Margaux. Just rest for a while because we will start our travels later.” I nodded my head from what he uttered.“I know, and let us get back to sleep.”Jace even nodded his head respo
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
