~James~“Are you really that obsessed with my title, Harold?”Harold's lips formed into a smirk when he heard this question from me. I was still looking at him with my piercing eyes.“I am not just obsessed with it, but I am so desperately obsessed!” He answered while smirking.I shook my head with Harold's answer. My instincts never failed me. I know that something is wrong with him. He just came here all of a sudden, which seems so suspicious.This man really made the mistake of going here as if he can fool all of us according to his plans.“You're crazy, Harold. I thought you wouldn't be like Gideon, but you are no different from him anymore. Both of you allowed the darkness to consume your hearts,” I uttered, shaking my head in disbelief while looking at Harold.However, Harold just laughed at me and never took my words seriously. I wouldn't be expecting that. It's been so long that he was already consumed by darkness and I have no plan of letting him go.He has to pay for everyth
~Emerald~Seeing James fighting with Harold scared me. There were so many negative thoughts in my head that I couldn't stop. I was worried that Harold might win over him, but then James just proved that he's unbeatable.I was hoping that he remained unbeatable forever because I couldn't accept it if he left us.“I'm happy that you're not hurt. You really scared the hell out of me!” I blurted, while I was still on his chest.He chuckled, “I told you already that your husband can do it. Nobody will beat him down because I am the Alpha King.”As these words escaped from his lips, I moved away from his hug. I tilted my head just to meet his gaze.“I know that, but we should not be comfortable. Enemies are watching you, James. I believed that they were studying how to beat you down,” I uttered.Alpha James cupped my face with his hands. He stared at me deep into his eyes, so I fixed my eyes to him as well.“I know, Baby, but you just have to trust your husband. Everything will be alright a
~Emerald~“I am ready to leave, Alpha James!”It was Christopher who just arrived and seeing his posture, I know he's coming with us.“Let's go,” James uttered to us.I nodded my head in response and turned my head back to Levi for some reminders.“Please watch over my son, Beta Levi,” I muttered to him.Levi nodded, “Don't worry, Jacob will be safe with me. I will never allow anything to happen to him.”I smiled at Levi after he assured me that. At this moment, I turned my attention back to James.We didn't waste time anymore as time was running so fast. James reminds his warriors before we leave the pack that we have to kill Harold's warriors to their hideout and spare the innocent one who doesn't fight with us.I was glad that James still worried about the innocent wolves. After all, they had nothing to do with this attack. We are only targeting the evil ones.“I do hope that I will find the killers of my parents. If I learned that they are from that pack, I swear I will make them
~Emerald~It just feels so good to know that James had trust in me. His encouragement really made me feel motivated and that I can do it. I know to myself right now that I can do this because my husband, the Alpha King trusted me.“Let's do it together, James,” I blurted to him.James nodded his head in response, a smile formed on his lips. He hugged me for one last time before we continued walking.We are still in the middle of the forest, but it's been an hour already. I could already feel that we are getting closer to the hideout that the spy of James had mentioned to him.Minutes passed by, James suddenly blurted.“We're in front of the border of their hideout. Get ready because I noticed wolves are waiting for us!” James reminded his team, and I just listened to him.I took out my gun as I will use this for now if the bullet's gone, then I will allow Lilian to show them what Luna can do.“Don't worry, Alpha James. We can handle them because we are with the Alpha King.”These word
~Emerald~I saw with my two eyes how James clenched his jaw. He did his best to control himself in front of these wolves, but I know that he could no longer control himself.“Who killed a mortal here?”I was stunned when I heard Christopher's voice. He asked this to Beta Kayden the moment he approached us.Beta Kayden turned his attention to Christopher and then he smirked. I suddenly felt my heart skip when something crossed my head.“So, it was you who was with the mortal…” Kayden uttered, making my mouth widened.I can feel my heart pounding so fast as I suddenly realize something. Maybe they are behind the death of Christopher's parents.“Who killed them!?” Christopher screamed in his angry tone.He's about to attack the enemies when James stops him.Beta Kayden burst out laughing and this made me gritted my teeth in anger. My instincts are strong about them. They killed Christopher's new family.“I was the one who killed them, according to the order of Alpha Harold. He told us th
~Emerald~As I heard how thankful Christopher was towards James, I couldn't stop myself from smiling so widely. I am so happy for Christopher that he finally got the justice he's been looking for.He already found out the killer of his parents and now, he has given them justice. I wished that after this, James would find out about his father.“It's not a problem, Christopher. Let's go home now because I wanted to rest. My wife has to rest,” James responded to Christopher and he nodded his head.At this moment, James told his warriors to guide the new members of the pack because they are coming with us tonight. Alpha James was holding my hand as we walked the way back to the pack.An hour later, we finally arrived at the Crescent Moon Pack, and we found numerous wolves waiting for us. I know that they smelled the new members of the pack, which made them get out of their houses.Levi approached us, his face was asking about what happened with our mission. Alpha James stepped forward for
~Emerald~The next morning, I woke up early knowing that I was already alone in bed. I looked around, and then I heard the water dropping inside the bathroom.Alpha James is taking a bath, so I decided to get up and wear my clothes back. I bit my lower lips when I suddenly remembered what just happened last night. Fortunately, no one passes in the hallway.“Good morning. How was the sleep of my wife?”I turned my head at the bathroom's door when James spoke. My eyes diverted into his six-pack abs, and I couldn't help but to bite my lower lips. He just finished taking a bath.“You take a bath alone. Why didn't you tell me?” I asked, my face looked disappointed.James let out a soft chuckle. He walked in my direction and sat above the bed.“I didn't wake you up because you're sleeping so peacefully. Of course, I want you to have a good sleep because I know how tiring what we did earlier,” he explained, making my face blush.“But, you should—”Just before I could finish my sentence, some
~Emerald~“Is something wrong?”This is what I asked the both of them, which made them look back on me.“We just can't believe that someone so close to Alpha James would betray him all this time. Alpha Harold even pretended that he's a kind-hearted Alpha, but it's really not,” Katie uttered.A deep breath escaped out of my throat after listening to what Katie had uttered.“That's reality in our world. We really don't know who our allies are. It's not safe to trust someone outside the pack in our direction,” Cassandra muttered.I nodded my head to agree with her. Cassandra has a point.“We still trust them, but we have to watch them closely. We need to make sure that they are trustworthy for the sake of everyone living in this pack. However, we should not worry because James will make sure that the incident last time will never happen again. We're thankful that we captured Harold earlier, and he hasn't started his dark plans for this pack.”My friends nodded their heads from what I hav
~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
~Emerald~I am losing hope now. I know no one will come to save me here because Gideon made sure that nobody can locate me. The connection that I have with James was no longer there. I couldn't talk to my wolf and I don't know why. I don't know how they manage to take everything from me but I know one thing for sure.They wanted to make sure that this time, I will be caught up. I have no more escape from what's destined to happen to me. If something happened, I could only promise one thing. I will make sure that I will find a way to escape from here.Gideon will not be able to control me for the rest of my life. I have to think of my son and those who trusted me.“Are you ready for your change, Emerald?”I lifted my head when I heard Gideon speak again. My teeth gritted as I met his gaze. He's just too evil, and I wanted to smash his face until he lost his breath right now.“Do whatever you want to do from me, Gideon, but here's what I can promise to you…” I uttered, taking a quick pa
~Emerald~I can still feel my eyes darkened as I keep staring at Allison's face. Her betrayal with me is unforgivable. I just can't imagine that my best friend would do this to me. If I escape from here, I swear she's the first one that I will punish.“The fact will not change that no one can ever beat James. He will save me here just so you know!” I blurted, making Allison let out a sigh.She just looked at me and when she's about to open her lips, someone suddenly speaks.“How would your man save you here, Emerald?”I just felt my blood boil upon seeing his face. Gideon has finally come and behind him were new faces that I've never met before. Their aura looks so dark, and I wouldn't be surprised with that.I am not surprised as well that he's here. Gideon is willing to do everything he could just to make us down.“I just can't believe the desperation you had, Gideon. You are willing to use those wolves who are connected to us just to get me. I can't believe you have to use force ju
~Emerald~The moment I opened my eyes, I found myself in a secured room. I tried floundering, hoping to escape from the leash that was tied to me. However, I just found myself exhausted after several tries.They made sure that the leash on me won't be easy to remove and that I can't escape from here. I couldn't help but grit my teeth thinking about what just happened. Allison, the childhood friend I trusted, suddenly betrayed me. I never expected that she could do this to me. She's just too good to pretend and I have trusted her. I trusted her because she's a friend. I thought she's real to me. This incident taught me so many life lessons that I should not trust someone that easily.And if there's a mistake that I've regretted now, it's about letting Allison fool me. I will not forgive her for what she did, and I know uncle Tobias won't let her daughter be lost. Allison is a kindhearted woman, and it's really shocking that she will betray me for a higher reward.“Emerald.” I suddenl
~James~“I really don't like how your wife acted, Alpha James!”Nora followed me inside the office. She can't accept that Emerald would do that to her.“Shut up, Nora! Just so you know, you are just one of my warriors and if it's not because of your father, you should not be here!”My blood is still boiling at Nora. She messed up with my wife and if it's not because of her father, I will throw her out. They are thankful that I need them now to strengthen the safety of the pack but if not, they will never be able to step in this pack.“Why don't you tell your wife that I am your ex-girlfriend? She didn't know, right?”I suddenly turned my head at Nora because of what she just said. My teeth gritted, eyes darkened.“Why would I do that? We're done before my wife came into the picture. I broke up with you and I don't need to tell my wife that you are my ex-girlfriend. You're just insane!”I shook my head upon saying these words to Nora. She even gritted her teeth after hearing my respons
~Emerald~After Allison and I talked about our plans, I went back to the room just to get my gun. No one noticed us as we left the mansion, and now we're on our way to the new hideout of Gideon.I just hope that Gideon was still there. We need to find him as soon as possible and I will not waste time. If I couldn't kill Gideon with the gun, then I will use my wolf form. This time, I will make sure to give my best. There is no way I will allow that asshole to escape once again.“Are we close to the hideout, Allison?” I asked her.Allison was leading the way because she knew where to find Gideon. She just turned around and looked at me for a second.“Don't worry, Emerald. We are already closed. Just prepare yourself in case we meet the enemies on our way,” Allison reminded me and I nodded my head to her.I didn't ask anything from her because I trusted Allison. She won't betray me after the help I did towards their pack. Allison knew what's right and what's wrong. She will never do some
~Emerald~“That's enough!”I could feel my heart suddenly stop beating for a moment when I heard that voice. My nerves were shaking as I slowly turned my head from the back.And then my eyes met with James. His hard expression made me gulp as I worried about his expression.“Alpha James…” Nora mumbled, moving away from me.James never looked at her. His attention was focused on me. Seeing that expression from him, I know what's in his mind.“What's this, Emerald?” He asked in his cold tone.I let out a deep breath, calming myself as I met his gaze. James will definitely scold me for messing up with his newly hired warrior. I already knew that and there's no need for him to say it aloud with me.“I know you're going to scold me from what I did, but you know me so well, James. I will never do that without deep reason. You can think whatever you want, and I'm tired of defending myself. I know you will take her side because she was our visitor, so go ahead. I'm leaving.”I turned my head
