Awwn The moment we've been waiting for. I'm happy for her. Selene is such a nice friend, I wish I could have a friend like that. I can't wait for Alpha Kade to be back to see his reaction.

Chapter 98 Esmeralda A delicious scent wafted through my nose, distracting me from my dream. But I wouldn't give in. All I cared about was the man before me, who adored me and loved me to a fault. After shifting into our wolf form, our paws hit the ground in unison as we ran through the trees, enjoying how the gentle breeze tossed our fur while our tongues hung freely out of our mouths as we mind-linked. It didn't take long before we halted and let out long howls at the moon. But the dream quickly faded as the lingering scent became stronger, causing my eyes to open. Great! Now what?! Swallowing hard as my mouth watered, I sat up, allowing my eyes to travel till they rested on a tray of delicious goodies that sat far from the bed. Food! My heart kept in joy as a loud growl erupted from my stomach at the sight of the tasty meals that were before my eyes, beckoning unto me to have a taste of them. Of course, I would. No doubt, I knew it was Selene's doing. I loved
Chapter 99 Kade (On their way home from the Crescent Moon Pack) "Drive!" I ordered, screaming my lungs out like a lunatic with my veins popping out of my neck and head as I downed the glass of tequila in my hand. How could this happen? When I wanted to make her Luna?! My hand found my temple, rubbing it slightly before emptying another glass down my throat and giving a loud burp. My head was blank, my heart was racing, I couldn't think straight. It was like a rod was driven through my chest. It hurts. The truth about Esmeralda hurts but I won't cry. After travelling miles to revenge on those that maltreated my mate, instead, I uncovered dark secrets about Esmeralda's family's past. Fuck! It was too much for me. I could feel tears stinging my eyes. But I won't cry. I grabbed the bottle of tequila, gulping the content hungrily before letting it go. I wasn't drunk. "Alpha, please," Silvius pleaded, glancing at me through the mirror before fixing his gaze on the
Chapter 100 Esmeralda Confusion slapped me hard on the face as I froze on a spot, digesting what had happened some minutes ago. Did the Alpha just walk past me like I was a nobody? Did he just yell at me like we were strangers? Did he just order me with his Alpha voice that I don't get to call him by his name, except I used his title before it? Goddess! What in the world was happening to me? To him? To us? To our relationship? As much as I tried to think about the reason behind his cold attitude, I couldn't comprehend it. I couldn't lay my hands on what could possibly be the reason. All I knew was that he left for the Crescent Moon Pack to avenge my maltreatment and if my memory serves me correctly, he left happily. We never had any misunderstandings. But why was he all grumpy? Was this all a dream? Then someone should wake me up as fast as possible. My heart began to race at an unusual pace. Does this mean...or relationship has... No! Not when my wolf was a
Chapter 101 Kade I didn't know what to feel. My head was blank. I didn't know what to do or how to react. One part of me wanted to let go of it, of everything, but the other... It raged like an angry storm ready to destroy whatever appeared at its sight. And if care was not taken, the other raise of me would win. A thin line was responsible for keeping me in check. I hope the line doesn't cut. For days, I've been buried in alcohol and smoking. I didn't know what to do. I was a total mess. My daily routine was to wake, think, drink, smoke, think... Food was the last thing on my mind...And sleep. I was sure I would have lost a bit of weight. But that was my least concern. All my life, I had been waiting for this day, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Why was she even involved in it? She ruined everything. When I thought everything was perfect. When I thought my whole life was beginning to make sense, especially with my mate by my side, the past ca
Chapter 102EsmeraldaTears ran down my eyes freely as my aching back met the wall. Tired of standing for hours, my back slid down the wall. Once again, I huddled up in my cell, wrapping my hands around my legs as my face was buried in between my lap. History had repeated itself.And it was quite unfortunate. The cold bit into my exposed skin and I cuddled myself tighter as if to shield me. I should have worn a thicker top and jeans. Not a crop top and bum shorts to welcome my mate. And now, I was paying dearly for it. Hungry mosquitoes feasted freely on my pale skin, sucking every bit of my blood generously. Though it hurts, those weren't my concern. In fact, they were the least of my concerns. Three nights in this cell were like hell. Three nights of anguish. The first night was unbearable...I almost couldn't cope with the discomfort. But now, I have gotten used to it, just like I did in my former Pack. I wasn't given a chance to do anything. Not even changing into new cl
Chapter 103 Esmeralda My heart jumped into my throat the moment the scent of sandalwood, citrus and honey hit my nostrils. I got up with a start, hiding behind the small bed when his steps got closer. I watched how he strode with dominance and power, taking his time to catch me by my scent...but there was also something about the way he walked. Snap out of it, Esme. "Why does mate look so scary?" Emerald whispered as if he was going to hear her in my head. The atmosphere shifted to a more dreadful one as tension rose between us. His aura screamed hatred, rage, and revenge making me want to burrow further under the bed. Despite his hardened expressionless face, his eyes looked a bit puffy and red. "Has he been crying?" Emerald gasped. "Crying, I doubt. Maybe smoking. The Blood Alpha doesn't cry," I affirmed. That bastard's got a stony heart. My heart began to beat rapidly as if it was about to explode in my chest as his steps got closer. His eyes roamed the cell, w
Chapter 104EsmeraldaBeads of sweat and tears enveloped my face as I found myself on the floor.The confessions were like a bomb that exploded right before my face, throwing me off balance, and making me brush the floor. My chest stung with pain and my lips trembled with silent cries. How could Lucy do that to the ones I loved? How could she? Not like I even know her personally, but her actions were about to ruin my life completely. Or maybe it has ruined it already because I would be mateless if Alpha Kade rejects me. It was a small world indeed. I lay still on the floor, sniffing back my tears and wiping my nose while contemplating what to do. My life was a mess. "That night, Jade lost her parents and Madam Dora lost her only child. She is left alone. Thanks to your cousin," "You better face the fact, you have no friends," Alpha Kade's harsh words stabbed my heart, ripping it to shreds, "To burst your bubbles, after that night, the whole Pack wanted justice," "You won't
Chapter 105 Esmeralda I ducked behind Selene as Jade, Amelia and Madam Dora got closer. My heart almost exploded from my chest from anxiety. Never had I been that nervous. Maybe if they see Selene first, they wouldn't be hard on me. Or maybe not... Anyway, all I knew was that I was a lump of dead meat. Their hasty footsteps made my head begin to pound, causing a throbbing ache. But that was the least of my concern. The cell door was thrown ajar by Madam Dora and she made her way in, still without any expression. I wasn't surprised that she opened the locked cell. She knew her way around the cell and where the keys were kept. But what was she up to? Why was she masking her feelings? She doesn't have to pretend that it doesn't hurt when we both knew how heartbreaking it was to lose a child. "Esmeralda, dear," She sniffed, tossing Selene aside and engulfing me in a warm hug. Confusion washed over me. What was I missing? "I'm so sorry this is happening to you. An
If you are reading this right now, you don't know how much grateful I am. It takes a lot to start a book from the beginning, but out of the many hundreds that started this journey with me, you chose to finish this book without considering my long breaks, grammatical inaccuracy and all. I really want to appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. I'm glad you invested both time and money into my book. Bless you all. I know the way I ended the book didn't please some of you, but it's the best I can do. I also didn't like the way I rushed my book, especially the part two. At least, Esmeralda and Selene got their happy ending. I planned on making the part two at least 30 chapters, but I have to study for my examination. It's next month and it's already here. I don't want to leave you hanging again. After my exam, I can write as much as I can because I'll be a graduate (BA) I'm studying English and literary studies đ This chapter was intended to appreciate those that spend time, gems, a
Chapter 114 (T.R.O.P) Esmeralda I had almost finished meditating on my powers when my stomach growled in hunger. The more I tried to focus on building my strength, to control my powers, the more the war in my stomach doubled. When I couldn't take it anymore, I got up from the floor where I knelt, picked up the piece of cloth that I knelt on and went inside the house. I almost missed the melodies the birds filled my ears with. I love nature and it helps me concentrate better. It fuels my strength when I draw powers from it. A smile crept on my lips when a delicious scent wafted my nose. I couldn't wait to devour the new recipe I just tried. I decided to try out a recipe that I found in an old jotter in the kitchen. I was sure it belonged to the man's wife that owned the house. After several hours of mixing, frying, stirring and boiling, it came out well. Even though I turned the kitchen upside down. I couldn't wait to try out more recipes in the book when I get
Chapter 113(T.R.O.P) Esmeralda A sigh of relief slipped off my lips, "Home sweet home," I muttered tiredly as I walked into the 'old house' as Selene often referred to it. Staying in the old house was my idea which she hated because it belonged to an old couple that died several years ago. The house was built in an old-fashioned way to Selene's distaste. But I cared less. Whether old-fashioned or not, the house was warm and comforting. It reminded me of my mother's house. The option of moving to my mother's house was a tempting one, but I discarded the idea. I didn't want to be reminded of those memories. As far as I was concerned, they were dead and buried. And I had already moved on. I strode to the dining table tiredly, poured some water from the jug into a glass cup and gulped every drop of it down my throat. My throat was almost on fire! The sun was merciless and I had exhausted the water in my bottle. Worst of all, I and Selene were the only ones here. I w
Chapter 112(T.R.O.P)EsmeraldaThe night was long and terrifying. I couldn't sleep all night as I was afraid of what he would do to me. The sounds of his constant mumbling, groaning and jerking kept my eyes glued on him. And his cursing too. Sometimes, he whispered words that sounded like pleas while sometimes, he shouted from his sleep like someone was after him or chasing him in a hot pursuit.It was strange because I had never imagined anything could make this monstrous Alpha behave vulnerable in his sleep. I couldn't fathom what was happening to him but I knew it was a dream. A bad dream. His worst nightmare. But what kind of dream frightens the Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack? Suddenly, he woke up, gasping and panting hard. My blood almost froze when he shot me a deadly glare. But after a few seconds, he went back to sleep. It didn't take long before the jerking began again. The second time was the worst. He jumped on the bed like he saw a ghost in his dream and dashed out
Chapter 111(T.R.O.P) Aphelion Impatient, I banged the door repeatedly with my large fist, ignoring the person's sleepy voice as I banged it again. "Fucking answer me," I cursed with shaky breath, swallowing hard as I was partly consumed by fear. Yes, you heard right. The Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack was afraid. If it were by some lousy Alpha, I would have understood, but it was by some strange woman. A woman from my nightmare dressed in green robes with strange strawberry hair. My breath hitched when the cold breeze swept up on my skin and I quickly turned back to look into the darkness. I could feel her flaming emerald eyes giving me a haunting disapproving look. And that evil grin plastered on her face...and her words that left me in shock. My heartbeat quickened as my eyes roamed the darkness. It was like she was here... watching me... haunting me... And in times like this, there was only one person I needed⌠"Open this fucking door!" I tried to use my Alpha vo
Chapter 110 (T.R.O.P) Kade "Alpha," Lucas, my Gamma called, bringing me out of my deep thoughts. I snapped my head at him, accessing him shortly before signalling him to come in. My heart skipped a beat when he walked into the room. I tried to keep my emotions in check, but my heart won't stop pounding in anticipation. I didn't miss the surprised look on his face as he walked into my room with his mouth slightly ajar. My room was as messy as hell. It looked like the third world war happened here. Things were scattered everywhere, including broken objects. He carefully navigated his path, avoiding the broken wine glass on the floor before bowing briefly to me and stopping to watch me. Just go straight to the point! I shifted uncomfortably on my seat, watching him eagerly to speak. Don't look desperate, Kade. But fuck it, I was desperate. I've never been so desperate in my life. Since he wasn't going to speak, I'll go first. I hope it was a positive result. "A
Chapter 109 (The Return Of Phoebe) Esmeralda "Move it!" The guard yelled, rough handling me. His hard hands grabbed my slim arm as he dragged me into Aphelion's bedroom. Anger rose in Emerald's chest as she growled at him. Angry at his behaviour, she took over from me. "You better stop that act and behave yourself," He growled back, his face reddened in anger. "Let me go, punk," Emerald screamed, wiggling to set herself free from his firm grip. "It will be my pleasure to slap some sense into you. But the Alpha will not have it if I did," He hissed. Despite Aphelion hitting me, he instructed his subjects not to lay their hands on me. "I am Luna. Show some respect!" Emerald bit his dry hand, attempting to escape. But he was quick to catch her and lead her into the room. "Fucking bitch!" He cursed, tightening his grip on my arm till the area turned bright pink. I whimpered in pain as his fingers brushed over the bruised part. Emerald's mouth won't put me in trouble.
Chapter 108 (The Return Of Phoebe) Esmeralda My eyes flew wide open in surprise and my hand covered my small mouth that wouldn't stop opening. How did he know I was Alpha Kade's mate? I shifted uncomfortably as his aura caused me to tremble greatly. His aura screamed so much power, dominance, hatred, anger, pride and other scary things. Whoever this strange man was, he was up to no good. I could feel it in my bones. His smirks say it all. They were evil and dark. And his eyesâŚthey screamed how cruel he was. They didn't hide how much they hated me. There was also something sinister about the way he looked at me...with so much disgust as if I had buried myself in a pile of dirt. He was ferocious, so mean, so evil, even Emerald trembled in my head, despite how unconscious she was. His evil aura affected her greatly. Despite being ferocious, he was not as ferocious as Alpha Kade. While Alpha Kade behaved ruthlessly, he still had some good buried deep down in his sto
Chapter 107 (END OF PART ONE) Esmeralda Another three days came and went, another three of pain and suffering. Another three days of enduring the torture that my mate had sex with another woman. How could he? How could he do that when he knew how much pain it would cause me? He was not ignorant of that, yet he chose to torture me in this manner. This was the worst treatment I had ever received. Even the harsh treatment from my former pack couldn't be compared to what I felt. Not even the dreaded horsewhip stood a chance. I was dying. The pain was killing me rapidly, eating me up from the inside and leaving me in a mess. I cried all day till I no longer had tears to shed. Was that how much he hated me? By fucking a whore for three days?! I spat in disgust as a bile of anger rose in my chest. I hate him. I hate everything about him. I regret the day I met him. And for what he has done to me, I will never forgive him. The thought of him in bed with another
