~Emerald~“Emerald, it's fine. Just give me to them. Let's just wait for that person who can erase my memories here.”A deep and heavy breath escaped from my mouth when I heard what Althea had uttered. I was so happy with her because she willingly accepted her fate. She never did anything to decline this, and she really proved that she has changed now.“You will have your freedom soon, Althea. We just have to find someone who can alter your memories with us, and you can go back to your world again,” I muttered, and Althea smiled at me.She turned her head at Cassandra and Katie's direction. Althea smiled at them before she left with the warriors. At this point, we watched Althea being taken by the warriors to put her in the dungeon.As she disappeared from our sight, I turned my head to James. His reaction remained indifferent, and I know this has something to do from what happened earlier.“Did you know that what you did earlier is risky?” James asserted, and I bit my lower lips.I j
~Emerald~Those words that Cassandra had uttered did a strike into my heart. I could feel my heart stop beating for a moment, while my tears kept streaming down my eyes several times.“You're kidding me, right?” I mumbled, still can't believe what just Cassandra had told me.However, Cassandra never laughed. She looked at me, her eyes filled with sadness. That was when I started sobbing when I realized that she's not joking at all.I felt so numb. I couldn't move my body as I felt like I was getting stuck on the bed. This information she told me seems like a sharp knife, slowly cutting my whole body.“I'm sorry, Emerald. This is what the doctor had said. You have a severe bleeding, which became the reason for you to lose your child. She did her best to help you not to lose it, but she failed. The pack doctor explained to us even before you bleed, you already had a problem with your uterus. The baby's hold in your womb is just so weak.” Cassandra explained.Every word she let out was l
~Emerald~One week had passed by for me to fully recover from my miscarriage. In that whole week, I have never found James' anymore. He never checked on me and didn't even sleep with me. Even if it's painful, I manage to calm myself because I know his anger towards me is reasonable.He was still blaming me for my miscarriage. I never ever wanted to have a miscarriage. It just happened so fast and now, many things have happened.Althea was released from her cell. I heard that she was released by James and good for her because she had finally changed. Althea always visited me in my room, asking me how I feel, and she even asked for forgiveness.Althea also blamed herself with my miscarriage, but she should not. It has nothing to do with her. I have never regretted the kindness I showed her.Today, it's the very first moment I will be showing my face to everyone. Life must go on even though it's still so painful on me. I still have my son and Jacob needed his mother back. He needed more
~Emerald~I went back inside the house, still with my dark reaction. All the things that James uttered to me still flashing back into my head. I couldn't forget it. Seems like it's making my blood boil.“Emerald!”I suddenly stopped from walking when I heard James' voice. He followed me and now looked at me in his dangerous reaction. Behind him were our friends. Cassandra looked at me with worries written on her face. She walked towards me to take Jacob away from us.“I'll be there for you, Emerald,” Cassandra whispered.I just glanced at her and didn't say anything. Cassandra couldn't do anything to fight against James. I know she will stay neutral because James was still the Alpha King.‘Emerald, stop. You're thinking negatively!’ Lilian complained, but I just shook her away.My heart started to numb as to what they are doing to me. I still remember how they walked away, leaving me alone in the garden. I f*cking bleed, and it was the reason that I lost my child.“What do you want, J
~Emerald~“Who are you!?”I screamed in anger toward the voice in my head. I don't know how he got in here and what he wanted from me.“It's not necessary for you to find out about who I am. You should be thinking about your husband having fun while you were there, crying and blaming yourself.” I grit my teeth as these words flashes into my mind. My hands clenched, anger started boiling within me. I glanced at the door and then back to the cabinet where guns are. I could feel my eyes start to darken, while my heart became numb. All the things that James did to me after my miscarriage and the way he treated me differently, I would never let that pass. I will teach him a lesson. A lesson that would wake him up that I will not be kind every day.“That's right, Emerald. Kill him and if you can, also kill your friends. They abandon you at loss, while they are having fun.”I sneered, after hearing these words and now, I started stepping my feet away from the room. Seems like my drunkennes
~Emerald~A sneer formed on my lips after my vision showed me what actually happened. It's been a while that my vision never showed me anything. Starting from that moment when Althea arrived at the surprise party that James prepared for me, he was already being used by a spell to his drink.My vision never showed me who's behind this but one thing I knew for sure. Whoever was behind James' spell, she's so powerful that she was able to make him follow every word she said.The reason James left me after I helped Althea was actually her command and the cause of my severe bleeding. All the painful words, the blaming, and his weird actions were not James' will. My husband would never do this to me, to us. He promised me that whatever happens, his love for me would never disappear.And I was so stupid for believing the receivers who are controlling them now. I was so stupid for not knowing it early. Damn it!‘I'm sorry, Emerald. I failed to know about this as well. If I just had the ability
~Emerald~The person behind Althea's identity showed her face to me. I felt my mouth widened upon seeing her real face. She is not familiar to me, and I am certain that I have never met her before.“Are you amazed how good we are?” She smirked, a sneer forming her lips.I gritted my teeth and asked, “I wasn't amazed by your face. I just wondered what we did to you for doing all of this. How on earth did you make the Alpha King follow you!?”When she heard me speak, she started laughing as if those words were the funniest statement she ever heard in her life. I could feel my blood boil in rage because of her.“I bet you knew your husband that well? He wouldn't become the most fearful of wolves for nothing, and he wouldn't have his position if he never attacked anyone before,” she answered curtly.I pressed my lips together, while looking at her straight in the eyes. I don't know her name yet, and there's no point in knowing it. She will die anyway.“Of course, I know him. James would n
~Emerald~The shape-shifter didn't expect what Lilian did to her. She jumped into her direction, making her stunned. As she was about to react, Lilian attacked her with her long claws. She fell on the ground, her breathing became heavy as she looked at me. Lilian smirked, shutting her with a piercing look. “Where's your courage earlier, Shape-shifter?” Lilian mumbled at her. “Do you think you can kill me with that!?” She answered, and prepared herself to stand up. However, Lilian blocked her way, making her stop from her attempt to get up. “Emerald mentioned earlier that she wanted to kill you slowly, but we are running out of time. You have to die now for being the reason for her miscarriage and for putting her loved ones at risk. Say goodbye to your kind now, Shape-shifter.” After Lilian said these words, she targeted the shape-shifter to her heart, causing her death to be easy. The woman is already dead and now covered with blood. At this point, Lilian turned back. I was alre
~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
~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
