~Emerald~“Is that what you've got?”I gritted my teeth when these words came out from Selene's mouth. She's the head of the warrior wolves of Alpha Gideon, the one who was entrusted to train the newbies. Alpha Gideon assigned Selene to train me, and she's been so tough with me.I have been doing my best to catch up with her lessons, but I can't understand why she's so tough with me.‘She likes Gideon, remember?’I tilted my head when I heard what Lilian had told me. She reminded me about what we found out before. Selene secretly adores Alpha Gideon. I understand now her reason for treating me like this. ‘I don't care about her feelings for the Alpha. She should separate her personal problems with work!’ I uttered through a mind communication.‘Well, we can't blame her. She's just desperate to hurt you knowing how the Alpha cared for you.’I just shook my head at Lilian's last sentence. My focus went back to Selene, who was grinning already. I fell to the ground, and I did not avoid
~Emerald~I could still hear Selene's screams and cursed at the back from what I did to her. She can't accept the fact that a weak wolf like me will bite her arm. I don't want to do it with her but she pushed me to limits. She attacked me first and I just did what I was supposed to do to protect myself.“I can't believe the reaction from her face when I bit her, Emerald!” Lilian uttered while laughing. I shook my head, my lips curled.“I was even surprised that we did it with her, knowing that she was the head warrior of Gideon's men.” I uttered towards Lilian.She continued laughing, still can't believe what we did. I walked straight to my cabin where Cassandra was. My heart almost melted when I saw my child, Jacob in his crib with Cassandra beside him. Cassandra lifted her head and placed a smile on her lips.“How's the training, Emerald?” Cassandra looked at me while smiling.I forced a smile and walked towards my son's direction. He was sleeping, and I couldn't stop looking at J
~Gideon~“Why do you have to do this to me, Gideon!?”I closed the book that I was reading about dark magic just to look at the woman who just arrived inside my office. My brows were furrowed when I saw Selene, her eyes covered with tears.She was crying like a weak bullsh*t. I rose from sitting to face her, my arms were crossed.“You dared to hurt Emerald, remember?” I asked in my cold tone. Selene messed up her hair out of distressed. I can't stop shaking my head while looking at her. “It's because she was trying to take you from me. You promised me, Gideon, that you will make me your Luna. You told me that you will marry me if I do what you want!” Selene growled.I shook my head in disbelief, not taking my eyes off her. I can't imagine she can still remember the things that I promised to her a year ago. It's supposed to be forgotten because things have changed now. My plans from a year ago had already changed when Emerald came into my life.“I didn't mean it, Selene. None of it
~James~My eyes darkened when I saw someone coming in our direction. My wolf wanted to take over to attack him, but I did my best to control it. This is not the right time for an attack. I came here to talk to Gideon at peace, but if he tried to attack me, then I will not back off. ‘Are you really sure with your plans, James?’ Logan asked at the back of my head. I could feel my lips curled, my eyes in Gideon's direction. He is coming to me with his men beside him. I am glad that his beta follows orders from the Alpha King.‘There is no turning back, Logan. I will take my wife from him and I will not leave, not until I bring her with me.’My wolf had no choice but to let out a sigh. He can't do anything to stop me with my plans. I was the one who can decide, and he has to follow me.“He's coming near us, James.”I turned my head at Levi. He moved closer to me, as well as my other men at the back. I know they are trying to protect me, but there's nothing to fear. Alpha Gideon is a sma
~James~My head tilted towards Gideon. I stared at him straight in the eyes to see if he meant the words he uttered a while ago.My jaw tightened as I continued looking at him. It took me a minute before I was able to understand what he meant.“What did you just say, Gideon?” I asked in my warning tone. Gideon shook his head as if he couldn't believe to see my reaction. I know what he said, but I wanted to know if he was serious about it.“I know you have a sharp mind, James. You know what I mean, and we are talking about Emerald here. The woman you dumped like garbage just because of your fated mate. The woman whose life became terrible because of you. The woman… I took away from the forest to give her shelter, to give her a new hope, and to let her know that somebody still cares for her.”I was stunned. I never expected to hear all of these from Gideon, the demon wolf that everyone knew. If what he said was true that he took Emerald from the forest, there could be a payment for it.
~Emerald~“Everyone, prepare!”The demanding voice of the new head warrior suddenly echoes through my head. My attention turned to her and did what she said.Three days had already passed when Gideon assigned a new head warrior to train us. She's bold, fierce, strong, and professional unlike Selene. Her dedication towards her works helped all the newbies to catch up everything she wanted us to learn. I had learned a lot from her within three days during her leadership. There was already an improvement to me. I can feel it deep inside. I can tell it the way I moved. The Emerald who was known as weak she-wolf was getting bolder now. ‘You should take a rest, Emerald,’ Lilian uttered at the back of my head. I immediately shook my head to disagree. Resting is not in my vocabulary. I have to work hard to learn basic attacks, so I would have a skill to use if ever enemies would try to kill me. ‘I needed this, Lilian. I should not always depend on you. You are not always strong, especiall
~Emerald~“You won't believe who's here!”“Oh, I heard that. I actually saw him earlier!”“I still can't believe that he was actually here in our pack. Alpha Gideon let him come here.” My heartbeat raced when I heard these words from the group of wolves I met on the way. They stopped talking when they noticed my presence that made my brows furrowed.I shook my head and continued walking. Alpha Gideon has a visitor and based on how the wolves described him, I know the visitor is not ordinary. He was powerful and important, and it's no longer my concern.I have no right to know who that visitor is and as long as my son and I are safe, that's all that matters to me the most.“I felt something unusual with that visitor thing, Emerald,” Lilian uttered.I stopped walking, my heart pounding so fast again. Lilian's instinct is strong. If she said something is wrong, there might be a possibility that it's true. I also could feel it just the way those wolves described the visitor.There were m
~Emerald~“What the f*ck are you doing here, James!?”I could no longer control myself anymore. My teeth gritted as I was screaming at James' direction. I didn't need to find him because I already found him on the field, talking to Gideon's beta.He turned his head at me, shocked written on his face. His mouth opened up, but I couldn't hear what he said because my mind and my heart were covered with my anger at him. Words would never be enough to describe how much I wanted to end his life. James, did many things to me in the past and killing him was in my mind at this point. Just before his men could stop me, I ran in his direction while holding the kitchen knife so tightly. No one expected me to come over to James. I used my knife to hit him in his left stomach. James didn't expect it and before he could stop me, I already stabbed him. My wolf, Lilian, wanted to take over, but I told her I can handle everything. His men came over and they captured me. They took the knife from my ha
