~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
~Emerald~I could feel my eyes darkening while looking at the man who ruined my life a year ago. A man who made my life terrible. The man who dared to risk my life and had the guts to abandon his child. I couldn't believe he had the face to show up with me.It's been a year ago. A year when I lived in darkness. A year full of tears, what ifs, and anger. Alpha James made my life almost like hell and I will never forgive him for that. No matter what he will do, the pain in my heart will never go away.I was gritting my teeth when I looked him straight in his eyes. “How could you say these things to me?”The look he was giving me was filled with regret. I can see it from his eyes. I can feel it from how he speaks to me, but it's already too late. He hurt me already. He ruined my life already and the life I was supposed to give to my son. James would never have me back, despite his efforts.“Emerald, you have to believe me. I mean the words that I had mentioned a while ago. Trust me, I wi
~Emerald~“F*ck!” I was stunned in my direction after realizing that the man I punched was actually Gideon.I panicked. “I…I am so sorry, Alpha Gideon. I didn't know it was you…”There was blood on the left side of Gideon's lips because of my hard punch. He didn't expect that coming attack, so he wasn't able to stop me. If I just knew that it's Gideon, I wouldn't do it. F*ck!“Do I look like a punching bag to your eyes?” Gideon asked, still covering his mouth. I grab his hand inside the cabin and let him sit on the couch.“I didn't know you're coming into my house. I thought…”Gideon didn't let me finish my words when he interrupted immediately.“You expected that it would be James, right?”A deep breath escaped out of my mouth from what he said. I looked at him deep into his eyes and saw the blank expression from his face. The words that James told me earlier flashes back into my head. He mentioned to me that Gideon allowed him to come here.I stood up from sitting next to him beca
~Emerald~After talking to Gideon, I packed my baby's stuff. I wanted to make sure that James would not find out about Jacob. I have to separate with my son just temporarily. Cassandra will take good care of Jacob, and she will bring him to her house. I will just go there secretly. It's better that my son is not with me to protect him from his dad.The next morning, everyone is getting ready. Alpha Gideon informed us that a visitor from the other pack would love to meet us. We made sure that our pack is accommodating and attractive before the visitors' arrival. James couldn't be seen. I have no idea where he is, which is better because I don't want my day to be ruined because of him.“What do you think about Gideon's words yesterday?”I stopped what I was doing because of Lilian's sudden question. My brows were furrowed. I couldn't understand what she was trying to mean, so I just shook my head.“What do you mean, Lilian?”Lilian just let out a deep breath. “Nah, don't think about it.
~Emerald~“F*ck! What did I do?”This is what I tell myself after leaving Gideon away. Lilian couldn't stop her laughter, which made me shake my head. I tried to forget about what happened by helping the worker in preparing the food and coffee for the visitor. I thought Alpha James was the visitor, but I found out they are not actually the same. There were important people from Gideon's ally pack. I insist on helping the maid by bringing the tea towards the visitors.As I arrived there, I had the chance to see those important visitors who came to visit Alpha Gideon's pack. I know the visitor. They once visited the Crescent Moon Pack, and this is the same man who I punched when he tried to disrespect me.“What the hell are you doing here!?” Nikolai, the bastard Alpha from the Moonlight Pack is the visitor whom I was referring to earlier. I couldn't forget his name. He disrespects me and tries to touch my legs.“Do you know her, Alpha Nikolai?” Gideon asked, looking at us confused. I
~Emerald~Fear crawls into my skin when I meet the incoming long claws of Nikolai's wolf. I just felt my heartbeat stopped from beating. The surroundings became gray, and I thought it would be my last breath. I thought I would die in this pervert's hands, but not until someone grabbed him away like a thing. An unexpectedly courageous man grabbed Nikolai's body and threw it away. My heart began to race when I slowly recognized who just saved my life.“James…” I uttered quietly. Alpha James' worried face met my gaze. I was still lying on the ground and still can't believe what just happened.“Are you alright, Emerald?” James' asked, still in his worried tone. I blinked as I was trying to digest everything that happened a while ago. Alpha Nikolai from the Moonlight Pack was trying to kill me. I was about to be scratched by his long claws, but suddenly, a strong man just came. He pulled Nikolai away and threw it away.It was Alpha James. He came to save me. He came on time before Nikol
~Emerald~“What do you want me to do, Emerald?” I stared at James, straight in the eyes, to know if he is determined to do my request. I am not good at reading, but the way he looked at me says it all.My smile widened, still looking at him. I also wanted to see the reaction to his face once I told him about what I wanted.“Emerald…” Gideon tried to get my attention, but I just glanced at him as an assurance that I know what I am doing. Gideon just let out a deep breath and did not stop me from what I wanted to do.I turned my head to James, who was still waiting for my response. A deep sigh escaped out of my throat before I spoke up.“I want you to kill someone for me,” I paused. “Someone who is an ass of this world.”I could hear gasps from the wolves around us. They couldn't believe as well that I would say this to James.‘You want what?’ Lilian couldn't believe the words that I had mentioned towards James. I didn't mind her as my attention was on James. He is not surprised by w
~Emerald~“Gideon, what do you mean?” I still couldn't believe what I heard from Gideon. He was also interested in killing Alpha Nikolai just for me, but…Why? Why did Gideon want to do this?‘Maybe the Alpha does not like the idea that James will kill Nikolai for you. He also wanted to prove to you that he can do it by himself.’My breath almost took away after Lilian spoke out. I was also thinking about what she meant, and my wolf might be correct. Gideon just didn't want James to use this request I made for James to come near me. “You surprised me, Gideon,” James uttered in disbelief. “I didn't expect that you would also be interested in bringing Nikolai's head. This is a request of Emerald for me. She doesn't tell you to do it for her.”I froze from my direction. The way James was saying these words, it's as if he wanted to trigger Gideon. I was nervous about where this would take the two of them. I am afraid that they might be fighting because of me.“I don't need Emerald to te
~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
