~Emerald~I looked up and met James' eyes. It is still filled with anger and I know because of Calvin that I mentioned earlier. “I understand what Calvin did to you, but he already asked forgiveness of me. He was the reason that Gideon never touched me. I felt safe when he's around because Calvin was doing his best to keep us safe from your evil step-brother!” I uttered, my tone rises. I just can't stop myself from overreacting upon remembering everything that Gideon did to me. It still infected my mind. “He protected you?” James asked, his brows were furrowed as he looked at me. I nodded my head, a smile flashes to my face. His dark expression softened, James took my hands and held it. I just felt my heart sounded so fast when he kissed the back of it. “I'm sorry if I wasn't there when Gideon is hurting you. I wouldn't let him do that to you and I promised I could kill him!” James hiss, his eyes are dark as the night. I bit my bottom lips, controlling my tears not to fall from
~Emerald~“I don't know what you're talking about.”I moved my face away, trying to avoid her gaze, but Cassandra just chuckled as if she disagreed with what I said to her.“I'm your friend, Emerald. I know when you're lying. You couldn't hide it from me, so answer me. Is Ava the reason you're here?” I let out a deep breath, slowly nodding my head in response to her. “I didn't intentionally do this, I just can't avoid it, you know…”Cassandra patted my shoulder, drifting my attention to her.“I totally understood your situation. It's normal that you feel jealous about them because of love. You just loved James. This is not about being crazy because your jealousy means something.” I nodded my head, a smile tugging on my lips after hearing what Cassandra had told me. This time, we focus our attention back to Jacob. My son needs more of my time now. I'm overjoyed because finally, I can spend more time taking good care of him that I failed most of the time in Gideon's pack, since I'm wo
~Emerald~“Why would I get mad with you?”James couldn't control himself anymore as he chuckled, responding to me. I raised one of my brows, arms crossed while staring at him.“We've been separated for almost four months, but I still know you that much. I know when you're mad and you're not. You can't hide anything from me, Emerald,” James uttered in his calmed tone.I rolled my eyes to him, my heart pounding so fast. I don't know, but every time I see him smile, my anger fades away. This only proves that I really loved this man so much.James walked in my direction. He slides his arms on my waist, wrapping it around as he pulls me closer to him.“That look you're giving to Ava earlier, I know you're thinking that I'm into her,” He said, my brows furrowed while staring at him.I shook my head, the corners of my lips curled.“What kind of look do you see from me, huh?” I uttered, but James just grinned. He looked at me straight in the eyes and all I did was to look away. I couldn't sta
~Emerald~After I walked out from James’ mansion, I decided to stroll the area, hoping to make myself busy so that I could forget about James and Ava for a moment. Lilian didn’t speak to me because she knew that I needed time to think.The stroll that I did took me about an hour and when I returned to the mansion, I was surprised to see a lot of James’ men scattered everywhere.‘What’s going on here?’ Lilian asked. I was furrowing my brows as well, especially when I noticed the reaction from their faces.“Luna Emerald is here!” One of James’ warriors shouted, making everyone turn their heads at me.I kept on walking until I finally reached them. All of James’ warriors approach me as if they want to check me.“Leave.” James came and he asked his men to leave us alone.I looked at him, confusion clouding to my face. “What’s happening here?”He shook his head and walked over until he reached me. James checked my body as if he wanted to make sure that I was alright.“Where have you been?”
~Emerald~I lifted my head, eyes were still on her.“Don't say that. Nobody will die here and not even you. Just remember that your son needs you, and we have to keep fighting for them,” I uttered in my serious tone.Katie nodded her head as tears kept falling from her eyes. She was still looking at me.“I don't know, Emerald. My life was already fucked up since then. I have done so many terrible things and continuous lies from working towards Gideon. My victims would definitely go after me aside from him!”As she mentioned these words, I felt the fear within her heart. Katie did a terrible thing with me in the past but I can’t stand seeing her in this kind of situation. I have to do something to help her.‘Emerald, you're putting your life in danger as well!’ Lilian spoke, but I didn’t mind her.Helping Katie to cope with this is my top priority. She's a wolf who needs help and as a Luna, I should help those who need my service.“You're not leaving tonight without us knowing the enem
~Emerald~I shook my head, taking off my mask from my face. This is just so distracting.“Well, you are right. I'm not Katie nor my name is Emerald…” I paused, showing a smirk reaction before I continued. “I will be your biggest regret in life.”He snaps his fingers, an evil laugh lingering around the silent night. The man removed his mask, and I was surprised when I saw his face.“Kyle?” He smirked at me, his eyes dark as the night. “Yours truly, Milady.”I grit my teeth upon realizing that the enemy who wants to end Katie's life was Kyle, and it's not impossible that he was also the one who threatens Ava. It never came to me that all this time it was Kyle. This is James' trusted personnel. How come…‘In this world, nothing is impossible, Emerald. You cannot trust everyone around you. They might be traitors and that's why you need to be careful,’ Lilian uttered. I couldn’t help but grit my teeth while looking at Kyle. His reaction was not the same the first time I saw his face.
~Emerald~As James made it clear to me that I have nothing to get jealous of, we returned to the mansion. He has already confirmed that Kyle was the only spy in his team and the rest of his men are loyal to him.I was just confused where Kyle is working with. I know that he's not working with Gideon because if he did, he already told him about our whereabouts.‘I thought I was the only one wondering about it…’ Lilian muttered.A deep and heavy sigh escaped from my mouth, eyes darting around the living room.“Emerald!” Cassandra called my name, the moment that we reached the living room.I was surprised to see all of them in the living room, looking so worried about us.“W-What happened to the spy, James?” Ava asked, her tone shivered. I bit my lower lips as I looked at her.James grabbed my waist, pulling me closer to him. I just felt my heart pounding as he did that in front of them.“He's gone,” James replied shortly.A look of relief flashes onto their faces. My eyes turned at Kati
~Emerald~It's just so annoying to think that James didn't follow me. He disregarded my emotion and even chose to go back to where Ava is. I thought it was okay. I thought Ava and I would become close friends because that's what I expected from her when I first met her but I was wrong all this time.She doesn't like me. She was just faking her kind approach to me. I should have known that in the first place.‘If it's not because of Ava, we couldn't get the letter that James left for you,’ Lilian uttered, making me roll my eyes.‘With or without the letter, my feelings had already existed for him. I don't need anything just to confirm the love that James had for me,’ I responded to her.Lilian just took out a deep breath. She was about to speak when my eyes shifted to the door after I heard knocks there.I opened it up and Cassandra was standing there. I furrowed my brows when I noticed she was alone.“Where's Jacob, Cass?”She let out a deep breath and said, “Don't worry about him bec
~Emerald~Allison might have done good to us for one last time, but the fact won't change that she still betrayed me. She ruined our friendship already. She puts my life in danger. Allison simply surrenders me to the enemies and that's unforgivable.“The fact won't change that she still betrayed me, James. I will not forgive her.” I muttered, my heart became numb towards Allison.James just let out a deep breath. He looked at me, nodding his head.“Alright, let's not worry about her anymore. We will respect your decision of not forgiving Allison. We are on your side, Emerald.” James responded, making me smile at him.“Thank you, James. This incident will never happen again. I will make sure to know whom I am going to trust. They can't fool me anymore because that one incident is enough.” I muttered between my gritted teeth.No enemies can fool me anymore. I can feel my eyes suddenly darkening as I said these words to James. He just listened to me and allowed this moment for me to brin
~Emerald~I couldn't explain the pounding of my heart the moment I saw his face. The fear that I felt from earlier thinking about James suddenly disappeared.I ran into his direction and never hesitated to hug him. He wrapped his hands around my waist, pulling me closer.“I'm fine, Baby,” James mumbled to me.I bit my lower lips as I tried to prevent myself from crying, but it's unstoppable. I have no control with my eyes and just let my tears streamed on my cheeks.James' hug tightened against mine. I can feel the pounding of my heart from what James did to me. He wanted to let me feel his presence and even if he wasn't hugging me, I can already feel his presence by just seeing him from afar. That was already enough for me.“You have no idea how worried I am because of you. I couldn't stop thinking about the possibility that you might lose the fight with Gideon. He's just too evil, James. He will do everything he can just to bring us down!” I muttered, and he nodded his head.“Yes, I
~Emerald~“That was you!”I could not control myself anymore the exact moment I learned how Beatrice suddenly transformed back into what she looks like.“Yes, it's me, Emerald.” Beatrice mumbled while looking me straight in the eyes.I tilted my head, my teeth gritted while meeting this woman in front of me. She was the woman who took my memories last time. I will make sure she will pay from what she did!“You are not doing your job, Beatrice. I was still able to remember. I thought I couldn't remember anymore…” I mumbled, but she just smirked.Her expression is suspicious. I know there's something in her mind right now, and I have to know about it.“It's because I didn't take your memories permanently.” Beatrice responded to me.My brows furrowed from what she mentioned to me, making me speechless. As I continued looking at Beatrice, I could already feel that I was about to unfold another secret. This is what my instincts were telling me now.“You didn't obey Gideon at all?” I mumble
~Emerald~“James…”A tear fell from my eyes when I saw his face again. Hours had passed since they brought me here, and I thought I wouldn't be able to see him again. I thought that I would forever forget them, but the Moon Goddess never left me.She helped me survive this triumph that I am facing now, and I just got back my memories after hours of not remembering anything.“Emerald…” James mumbled while the corners of his eyes reddened.He was about to approach me when someone suddenly grabbed my hand. I just felt a sharp metal suddenly pointed on my head, which made my heart pound so fast.When I lifted my head to see who that is, I realized that it's Gideon. He's smirking now while looking at James and when I turned my head back to him, I saw how James gritted his teeth in anger.“Let her go, Gideon. You don't have to include my wife to this battle between the two of us. Face me and let's have a fight.” James muttered, but Gideon just shook his head.“Do you really think that I wil
~Emerald~“Everyone, listen to me!”Gideon tried to get the attention of his members while I remained silent in the corner. My arms were crossed as I continued watching them. I know deep within my heart that something is not really right.That man named James just captured my attention. I can feel a connection with him that I can't even explain.Is he part of my past?“I know one of you already knew that this woman beside me is my wife, but still, I wanted to remind you about it once again. This woman is my wife and because of that, I wanted all of you to fear her. I don't want to see anybody talk to my wife and say something that's against my policy, or else I will kill you!”I stood up straight when Gideon suddenly uttered these words. My brows suddenly furrowed because of what he just said to his members.“Why do you want to disallow them from talking to me?” I muttered, confusion covered my face.Gideon turned his head at me, his lips curled into a playful smirk.“I just don't wan
~James~“We found them, James.”I stood up from my seat when these words echoed inside the room. My heart pounded so fast as I looked at Levi.“Where are they, Levi?” I asked, making him let out a sigh.“Our spy is willing to cooperate with us. As of now, I need to prepare our men to go there, James. We have to save Emerald as soon as possible.” Levi responded.I nodded my head while my hands clenched in anger when I remembered Gideon's face. I just can't wait to see him. He took my wife and I swear I will make him pay for what he did to us.They will pay for putting my wife in danger. This time, I will make sure that my wife will come back to us, safely.“Prepare everything, Levi. We will go there and save Emerald whatever happens. We can't allow her to be with the enemies. They will use her against us!” I declared, making him nod his head.“I will make sure to do my best to rescue her, James, not because of you. This is Cassandra's request. She has been crying since last night with
~Emerald~I know something is just not right. My heart was telling me that I should follow my instincts. There's something wrong with Gideon's statement. Knowing that I have lost my memories about the past made me wonder.‘I should investigate this.’ I mumbled at the back of my head.My head suddenly turned at Gideon. He was still holding my hand as we kept on walking through the field, where other wolves were waiting for us. My heart pounded so fast, and I felt something unusual had happened.“Gideon,” I called his name, making him turn his head at me.“What's wrong?” He asked with his furrowed brows.I tilted my head as I kept looking at him. Staring at Gideon made me feel something very unusual. My heart was telling me that we can't trust him. It's telling me that Gideon is not my husband, and he's lying to me.It was him who made me lose my memories and not the attacker that he's telling me about. I don't know, but my instincts right now are just too strong.At this moment, I shou
~Emerald~I was looking at myself in the mirror while my mind wandered somewhere else. I just finished myself preparing for the presentation that Gideon wanted to do with me in front of the people.“Emerald,” I turned around when I heard that familiar voice.My brows furrowed when I saw Allison behind my back. And then, I just felt a strange reaction deep within when I saw her face. It's anger that I couldn't explain.“What are you doing here?” I responded to her, and she looked stunned upon seeing my reaction.“G-Gideon told me to get you. He's waiting outside,” Allison responded to me in her stammering tone.A smirk formed on my lips and crossed my arms. I looked at her, especially deep within her eyes. I wanted to read her expression.“Where's Beatrice? I thought she's going to accompany me outside,” I muttered, seriously.Allison let out a deep and heavy breath. She tried to maintain her composure, avoiding herself from flinching with my pierce look.“Beatrice was outside already.
~Emerald~“We've been married for three years?”Confusion covered my eyes as I looked into the face of a man in front of me. He's Gideon, and it's just so weird that I can only remember his face. There's no other faces in my head aside from Gideon and I felt this was so strange.Like, what just really happened to me? Why can't I remember anything, even the last thing I did last night?“Yes, we've been married for three years already. I know you have so many questions in your head and it's because you just had a surgery last night. Someone attacked you, and you have a severe wound to your head. To save you from dying, I have to let you have surgery.” Gideon explained to me.I couldn't help but furrow my brows while looking at him. There were still a lot of questions in my mind, but I can't speak it out. My head will ache if I push myself from thinking about it.“Is that so?” I mumbled, still not leaving my eyes from him.Gideon smiled at me. He walked closer to my bed and when he reach
