~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~I found it difficult to close my eyes that night as my mind was with Gideon and James. They had finally started their search and I don't know what happened to the both of them now. My instruction is clear that they have to be here the next morning with Nikolai's head.I can't stop thinking about who from them could slaughter Nikolai, but I ready myself for that. I don't have a choice. After all, I was the one who made this challenge. I should accept the result.I woke up early the next morning to start my day with a short training. The newbies were now in the field. Natalia was already there. I walked straight in front to talk to her.“Natalia,” I called her name. “Can we talk for a moment?”She nodded her head in response. We look for a perfect place to talk to. I just want to know if she already saw James. I wanted to know how she feels now.“I heard Alpha James is here,” Natalia uttered, her attention in the other direction.I let out a deep sigh before answering. “Yes, a
~Emerald~My heart keeps on pounding so fast while walking to where Gideon is. He was finally back from the search for Nikolai's head, and I was expecting him to bring the head to me. However, my world almost stumbled down knowing that Gideon hadn't found it.“I didn't make it, Emerald,” Gideon said, his voice filled with disappointment. I let out a sigh and held his hands. Gideon doesn't need to feel dismayed about not making it.“Don't worry about it. Nothing will change, even if you didn't find it. Now, this time, we should wait for James. I just hope he couldn't find it as well.” Gideon just looked at me. His eyes were still sad and I know the feeling. I know he was desperate to have the head of Alpha Nikolai, but this is what it is. We couldn't do anything about it. Maybe the rumors from earlier were not real. If Gideon didn't find Nikolai, I believe James does not, but he's still not there. We are still waiting for him to let us know if he had it.I was already nervous while
~Emerald~I leave immediately after saying some threatening words to James. He would never have the chance to come close to me again, I swear!“You are not sure. Alpha James would be staying here, remember?”I rolled my eyes towards Lilian. “Then, I'll make him regret choosing to stay here.”Lilian just shook her head, while I let out a sigh. I went back to the cabin to compose myself. I just needed some strength before going out to face the wolves again and before facing him and to complete my relaxation, I have decided to close my eyes. It was already six in the evening when I woke up. My stomach growls, so I immediately prepare some food to eat before visiting Cassandra's cabin.I was already in the middle of my work when my eyes noticed something from the window. My brows were furrowed when I opened it up, and my eyes widened when I saw his face. The face of the man who ruined my life a year ago, and he's living in that cabin next to me.The cabin of Alpha James was actually near
~Emerald~“If you're the neighbor…” I paused, staring at him deep in his eyes. “I would rather die alone without asking any help from you.”James was surprised to hear these words from me. He did not say anything and I know because he didn't expect it. I know he still can't believe that a weak wolf like me would become like this. ‘Those are savaging words, Emerald!’ I just smirked at Lilian's words. She can't still believe me saying those words towards the Alpha King.“At least, you have an attractive neighbor,” James responded, not bothered about my words from earlier. I gritted my teeth in annoyance. This conversation would end in nothing. I will just hate him more, so I made up my mind to go back to my cabin. However, I was surprised when I noticed Gideon coming into my way. He was wearing his cold and dark aura. I know his eyes were at James, who was behind me.“Did he do something to you, Emerald?” Gideon asked when he reached my direction. I immediately shook my head and st
~Emerald~Two Alphas were already standing in front of my door. They were quarreling outside and just stopped after I opened the door.“Emerald…”Gideon and James looked at each other when they noticed that they called my name together. I massage my forehead seeing them both.“I came in first!” James uttered, almost screaming at Gideon.“No, I arrived first. So, leave!” Gideon yelled, slightly pushing James away.I let out a deep sigh watching the two barking like a dog. They aren't concerned about my presence in front of them. As they kept on fighting, I could feel my blood boiling.‘Two Alphas for one girl…’ Lilian spoke.‘Shut up!’ I responded back through my mind. ‘Interesting,’ Lilian replied. I just shook my head and closed my eyes. This is what I need to do to calm myself. I have realized that my life would no longer be at peace seeing these two together.“You can't push me like that, Gideon. I won Emerald’s challenge. You have no choice because starting today, you will alway
“Emerald, it's Jacob…”My heartbeat raced upon hearing Cassandra's words. I opened the door and saw my son in her arms. Jacob was trembling. I touch his forehead and tears fall from my eyes.“He has a high fever!” I panicked. I brought Jacob inside my cabin and put him on the bed. My heart continued pounding so fast watching my son crying so loud. Cassandra took warm water and a towel. I soaked the towel in the cold water and put it on Jacob's forehead.My hands were shaking in fear that something might happen to my son. I don't know what I should do if Jacob's fever won't slow down.“C-Cassandra, I'm scared…” I cried while doing my best to stop my son from crying.It can also be seen from Cassandra's face that she was also worried. This is the first time that my three-month-old son has experienced this. I couldn't accept it if something worse happened to him.My life would be of no use if my son Jacob would be gone from me. I just couldn't allow it to happen. He's the only thing I'v
~Emerald~I could feel my fists clenched beneath while looking at Gideon and James. The fight between them had already started. I was thinking of a way to stop the fight, but my body does not cooperate. I was supposed to prevent them because one of them might lose, but it's hard. Gideon's attacks were successful towards James, which also prevented me from stopping the fight because I wanted to see him suffer. I wanted to see him being smashed by his enemies.However, the table turns. Gideon failed to dodge James' attacks. It was James who is blowing an attack towards Gideon now and the fight is not good. I could see blood all over Gideon's face. I witnessed how many times Gideon almost fell down because of the unstoppable attacks that James was giving him.They didn't use their wolf abilities because they only used their ordinary and normal fighting skills. The last Alpha who remains standing will be the winner and the Alpha who falls down will be the loser. I don't want Gideon to l
