~Emerald~My head suddenly ached when I pushed myself to remember it. I don't understand anything about my reason for pushing myself to remember Alpha Casper. The more I stared at him, it felt like I could recognize him.“What's wrong, Luna Emerald?” Casper asked, making me stunned.I turned my head at James, and he looked bothered by what I acted. I gulped a little, while shaking my head.“Nothing's wrong, Alpha Casper. I just felt dizzy after my vision showed me something earlier,” I responded, and he nodded his head.Even though he has already gotten a response to me, it doesn't prevent him from looking at me. James suddenly wrapped his hand around my waist and because of that, I diverted my attention back to him.“Are you alright?” He asked, almost whispering.I let out a deep and heavy breath before responding to him.“I'm fine, don't worry.” I responded, and he nodded his head.At this point, James faces them back. He asked them to rest for a moment and will resume the conversat
~Emerald~The next morning, I woke up with a small note above the bedside table. It came from James, who informed me that he has to go out early and didn't bother to wake me up because I am still asleep.A smile forms on my lips when I remember what we did last night and can't take it away from my head. After I did my routine, I went out of the room to find Jacob.As I was walking down the hall, I suddenly froze in my direction when I bumped into someone. Just before I fell down, he grabbed my waist.“It's you…” I muttered, disbelief written on my face when I recognized him.The person I bumped into was none other than, but Alpha Casper. He furrowed his brows while looking at me. I was stunned in my direction just because of how he looked at me.“Alpha Emerald,” Casper said. “You should be extra careful next time. It will put your life at risk.”I push him a bit, making him let go of me. My heart pounded so fast when I realized what just happened. I was nervous that James might come a
~Emerald~My legs trembled when my vision showed me an event from the future. An event that almost made my heart stop beating. It was James and Gideon, fighting on a dark side of the forest.I saw how Gideon made James' suffer. There was blood all over James' body. He let out an agonizing pain after Gideon targeted his heart. It was a devastating vision that I ever had. I can feel my heart shattered by that view and the next thing I know, I have already passed out.“Emerald!”I didn't know what happened next. My vision just disappeared. It was already dark, and I could feel the darkness slowly covering my eyes.The next thing I know, James carried me back to the room and when I woke up, I found him sleeping next to me.“James…” I called his name, making him open his eyes.He immediately rose from bed, and held my hands.“How do you feel? Do you want to eat anything? Or, maybe, a glass of water?” He asked.As I looked into his eyes, I could see only worries. I know he thinks of me the
~Emerald~My heartbeat paused that moment after hearing Levi's news to us. I turned my head at James and worried crawling to his face.I gulped when I suddenly remembered what Alpha Sebastian had told me last night. He asked me not to tell James that he has an illness and I didn't expect that this happened too soon.Something happened to Alpha Sebastian and I didn't warn James about it. I just hope that Alpha Sebastian still survived. I hope he's still breathing because if not, this would cause me guilt my entire life. James is his son. He has to know about what his dad had felt, especially now that they just got reunited with each other.I was supposed to tell James about his father, and maybe he would have a chance to be with him the whole night. Maybe this will give James enough time to be with his father while he's battling with his illness.F*ck! What did I do?“Where is he, Levi? Is he fine?” James muttered, his tone filled with worries.Levi looked at him before he answered and
~Emerald~“You are my protector?”Confusion covered my face when I asked these words to Alpha Casper. His words still don't sink in to me. I still couldn't get it.“You heard me, Luna Emerald. I was once your protector when you're still a child. You were in the woods at that time when a group of wolves came to attack you. Luckily, I was there and saved you.” Alpha Casper explained.I tried to remember what he said, but I couldn't. There's no event from my childhood that I remember. It seems weird, but I really don't remember anything. Although his face looks familiar to me, I don't remember him saving me before. So, I don't know whether I should believe him or not.‘You're looking for an answer to your question, right? This is now your chance. The answer is already in front of you, Emerald.’ Lilian uttered at the back of my head, making me bite my lower lips.I looked at Alpha Casper and found him still staring at me. I didn't know this man. There might be a possibility that he's lyin
~Emerald~My heart pounded so fast out of annoyance towards James. I just can't believe he would react like that without even asking what really happened between Alpha Casper and me.‘Don't misinterpret it, Emerald. I know your husband was only trying to protect you from men,’ Lilian explained.I just shook my head, rolling my eyes in response.‘He accused me of having an affair. Did he not trust me?’ I asked Lilian.She let out a deep and heavy sigh from my question. I know Lilian was only preventing me from getting mad at James and I totally understand that. I am not mad at James. The only thing I felt right now was disappointment.I don't want to be mad. Something will happen to me if I let anger cover my heart. This would only worsen the situation and I don't want that to happen. I know the voice I've heard before will appear again and that's what I don't want to allow.Lilian stopped talking to me. She didn't say anything now because she knows it will only worsen the situation an
~Emerald~It was just a fake marriage. Alpha Sebastian only wanted to see his son wearing a wedding suit while walking in the aisle. He never had the chance to witness his son's wedding with me, and who am I to deny his request?Alpha Sebastian only has twenty-four hours in this world and I don't want him to die without fulfilling his one last wish. I wanted to see him happy. James will probably understand it. He would do the same for his dad, and I don't want to be greedy.Even if it's against my will, I will agree with James.“Alright, I will agree, Alpha Sebastian. We can do a fake marriage for you. I know James will agree to this because he loves you. We will prepare it immediately for you,” I responded, with a smile on my lips.His reaction brightened upon hearing my response. Alpha Sebastian couldn't hide the smile on his lips as he looked at me and seeing that smile from him, made me happy as well.“Thank you for your agreement, Emerald. I promised that this is just a fake marr
~Emerald~My heart skipped from beating for a moment when I heard what James just mentioned to his dad. I even looked at him with my stunned reaction. “James…” I mumbled, making him turn his head at me.His lips formed into a thin smile as he looked at me straight in the eyes. As I saw that reaction from him, I couldn't help but blushed. I wasn't expecting James to say this in front of his dying father.“You mean, we don't have to make a fake marriage, James?” Alpha Sebastian uttered.I turned my head to him when he spoke and the pounding of my heart turned back to normal again.“Yes, Dad. We don't have to make a fake marriage because I am marrying my wife again tonight in your presence. I don't need to fake it because I have her, and she's my life. She's the woman who gave me strength every day and without her, I don't know what will happen to me.” James blurted towards his dad.As he uttered those words, his eyes were on me. James couldn't take his eyes off me and I can't explain m
~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
