~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~I woke up so early this morning to start my day with a little training. I'm getting stronger each day and this is a good sign. My son, Jacob, woke up early as well. I carried him in my arms and went outside the house, but I made sure I took the area away from James' cabin.“What's your plan for today?” Lilian asked me. I furrowed my brows and then took a deep breath."I don't know, Lilian. After the training later, I'll try my best to look for a job. We can't stay in this pack without doing anything,” I replied, and Lilian nodded her head. I went back to my cabin to bring Jacob back to Cassandra. I realized that it's maybe the perfect time for me to find a job. We can't just depend on the pack's free food and water.I have to save up money for my son. Time will come and Jacob will grow. The expenses will also increase, and I can't just rely on Gideon. He's giving me money, but I don't want to just rely on it. I need work. A work that can sustain my son's needs.“What work a
~Emerald~My world almost stumbled down when I saw James inside the house with Jacob in his arms. I could feel my legs trembling down and it felt so hard to step my legs. I felt my heart tightened so hard.“E-Emerald…” Cassandra stammered when she found me. I just glared at her and walked straight to where James was.“Give me my son back!” I uttered in a deep voice. James had no choice. He gave me Jacob back, and I gave it to Cassandra. My best friend knew the drill, so she went inside the room to take Jacob away. I attacked James in fury. I can't believe where he got the courage to hold my son after what he did to me.“How dare you show your face in here and hold my child just like that!?” I screamed, my heart screaming out of anger. James held my hands to prevent me from attacking him. I gritted my teeth, eyes were still blazing in anger. Using my strength, I did my best to escape from his hold and now pointing my hand to him.Tears fell in my eyes and James' reaction softened as
~James~I have never felt defeated before, but after I heard these painful words from the woman I loved, all I could feel was devastation. This pain I have felt now, it's just new. I only felt this to one person.It's Emerald. The girl I rejected because of my selfish decisions. I have never been this crazy before in my life, but I will not give up. I will not stop until I have her heart again.Standing up, I spoke to her for the last time before going out of her cabin. “Just keep on pushing me away, but you can't stop my heart from loving you. You can't stop me from doing everything I could that could make me return you in my life. I may be a bastard in your eyes, but I've always regretted the pain I brought you.”Emerald stayed emotionless. I could not see the sparks in her eyes the way I did before when she was still with me. The sparks in her eyes every time I went home. I have never seen her sweet smile every time I laid my eyes with her.Emerald has been so sweet with me. She ta
