~Emerald~As we stepped our feet at the venue, there were groups of wolves coming our way. My eyes were to them and to Gideon next to me. He was already looking at me, a smirk written on his lips.“Alpha Gideon,” one of them shook hands with Gideon. “It's my pleasure to see you here.”The other wolves bowed their heads at Gideon. I was surprised because of how they respected Gideon.“It's my pleasure to see you all here at the ball. I hope we'll enjoy this night,” Gideon responded to them.The wolf who spoke first at Gideon suddenly turned his head at me. A smile plastered on his lips as he spoke, “Pleasure to meet your girlfriend, Alpha Gideon.”My mouth widened from what I had heard. Just when I was about to speak up, Gideon exceeded me.“I wanted to introduce this girl next to me. Her name is Emerald, and she was special to me,” Gideon uttered to them, his attention was on me. I could feel my heart pounding from what he said. I was just surprised because of what Gideon was telling
~Emerald~“It's been a while, Emerald, the banished Luna of the Crescent Moon Pack.”These are the words that came out from Katie's mouth when they reached us in our direction. I couldn't believe she had the guts to speak up to me after what she did. She made a drama in front of Nicholas. Katie accused me of hurting her wherein she was really the one who dared to hurt me. I was mad. I wanted to smash her face to make her pay from what she did to me before, but I calmed myself. There's no way I would lower myself because of them.“I am also pleased to meet the second option,” I uttered, my head tilted above.Katie's eyes became gloomy, her face couldn't believe what she just heard.‘You nailed it!’ Lilian screamed at the back of my head.“Second option?” She asked in disbelief. “Where the hell did you get that idea?” I laughed, covering my mouth with my hands as if I mistakenly said it. I even looked at James who was quiet on the other side. His eyes were also gloomy, but it's focus
~Emerald~“What did you just say?”Katie could not believe what she just heard from me. Her fists were still clenched while her eyes were fixed at me. She looks so mad and seeing that reaction to her face made me like it. I wanted this day to come for all of us. I have been waiting to this day that Katie, James, and I would have an encounter.My wish has been answered. They are already in front of my face, looking like an angry dragon who wants to blow fire at my face, especially Katie. I already expected that she would have an exaggerated reaction upon seeing me again.“I don't need to elaborate this for you, Katie, but you can just talk to your husband. You can ask him what he was doing at my pack, or you can ask him what pushes him to ask my forgiveness again,” I uttered to Katie. She turned her head at James with her unpleasant reaction. I crossed my arms while looking at them. I wanted to see with my two eyes how Katie would react to this.“What the hell is she talking about, Ja
~Emerald~Silence suddenly covered the place. Gideon's hold on my arm tightened when James spoke up. Katie's attention was diverted to James.‘I think I need popcorn,’ Lilian reacted. I just shook my head and smirked at what Katie would do to her husband. “What did you just say, James?” Katie blurted at James.“I'm winning Emerald's heart again, Katie. The words she just mentioned to you a while ago were true. I am at their pack because of her. I loved her, and she has been in my heart all this time,” James said, his eyes were staring at me.It feels like my world suddenly stopped moving when my eyes met with James. The sparks that I found from his eyes were telling me that he meant his words. He was telling the truth and I still can't believe that James will do what I asked him to do.“Let's go.”My attention diverted to Gideon when he suddenly spoke near my ear. I turned around and he was pleading with me.There was a deep sigh which escaped from my throat when I looked at James.
~Emerald~Two days passed by since the last encounter I had with Alpha James and Katie. I haven't seen James since then. Maybe he realized that Katie is what he really wants. I just hoped he won't go back anymore.“We are not sure about that,” Lilian uttered, and I rolled my eyes at him.I was at the training field, ready to go home to the cabin. I've been practicing since morning and my body is already tired. A rest is what I need, and also I can't wait to see my son, Jacob.I was walking down the hall when I suddenly stopped. There were footsteps from the woods which made my eyes turn to it. My brows were furrowed because I hadn't seen anything there.“I think I'm really so tired from this busy day.”I shook my head and continued walking when the footsteps were getting closer to my direction. This time I am so sure about what I heard. Using my nose, I smelled something.A smell of dark blood running in their veins. My heartbeat started racing with that realization, and when I looked
~Emerald~“The problem is not with mine,” I answered her, my head tilted above. “You are the problem, Natalia. If I were you, learn to accept defeat. That's what you can do for your peace.” Natalia gritted her teeth. She walked over to where I was standing and made sure to be a meter away from me. Natalia doesn't want to stay close to me as her way of defense.“If I were you, I should stop blaming myself. You should be kneeling in front of me, begging me to let you go, or else…” she smiled at me first before she added her sentence, “You can beg me just to end your life because I'm not giving you an option at all.”I clenched my fists beneath, while looking at her. Natalia didn't have to tell me about this because I know she doesn't want to let me go. She will not let this moment go. Natalia will kill me and I won't let her do that to me. Jacob is still waiting for me. I can't leave him, not now.‘How can we escape from them?’ Lilian asked.Even my wolf didn't know what we were suppo
~Emerald~“Emerald!”James grabbed my hand. I looked at him with my eyes flaming in anger from what he did. This Alpha didn't want to leave me alone. I took his hand off my wrist and threatened him with my stare.“Don't touch me, Dumbass!” I barked at him. James closed his eyes, and then he took a deep breath. My brows were furrowed when I saw him with that expression not until I found something from his left arm.“We should keep going. I need to cure my scratch,” he answered in his tired voice.I got stunned in my direction, feeling clueless about what I should do to him. James' life was in danger because of me and if something happened to him, the wolves will blame me for this.I took a deep breath and looked at him, straight in the eyes. James started to pale because of the scratch he got from the wolf. There could be a possibility that the wolf who scratched him might drink something to kill their enemies through the scratch.‘Yes, they used something and a scratch he got might b
~Emerald~James really wanted to pisses me off. He has no idea how I tried my best to control my anger towards him. This is not the perfect time for me to lose control. I have to keep myself strong and just don't mind him.We kept on walking until we noticed a group of wolves coming into our way. I prepared myself in case these wolves were enemies, but then I saw Gideon. He was running into my direction. The moment he reached me, Gideon took me away from James.“Are you alright, Emerald?” He asked, his voice filled with worries. I turned my head at James, and he was already assisted by Gideon's men. I just looked at him, showing him with no hint of worries.My head turned at Gideon and then I smiled. “I'm just alright. We can escape death.” Gideon's brows were furrowed. He looked at James and walked near his step-brother. I immediately followed him if ever Gideon would do something to James. “If it's really not because of Emerald, you wouldn't be here,” Gideon said towards James. H
~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
~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
