~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
~Emerald~Darkness finally arrived, and it's my first day at work. I was already prepared to go to work. I never forget to remind Cassandra to lock the door and don't let James get inside the cabin. She promised me and I felt relieved about it.I went straight to the bar where I will start my job. As I entered the place, there were already few customers. I was greeted by the same woman whom I talked to last morning when I was looking for a job. She brought me to the counter to where the drinks and food were.“Every time you give the customer their order, don't forget to smile. It will make them like you, and when they like you, customers would be pleased to come back because of how the staff treated them.” I smiled at the woman and put in my mind that I came here because of one thing. I am here for work.“I'll remember this.” I answered her, and she just smiled.The customers started increasing. They all started to order their drinks and food which made the staff of the bar become oc
~Emerald~“B*tch!” Alpha Alexander's left hand flew across my face. I almost stumbled down because of its strong impact.“You slapped me?” I blurted, while touching the face that this moron Alpha slapped.“It's because you bit me! You literally bit me!” Alpha Alexander couldn't stop himself from screaming. I felt my teeth gritted in anger, my face already darkened.“You're the son of a devil. I will make you regret it!” I sputtered towards Alpha Alexander.He was about to grab me when I kicked him in the ass. His men stood up and ran through my direction. They began to hold me in both arms, which made me unable to move my body. “You'll pay for what you did to me. I tried to be nice to you, but what you did was to bite me. I will make sure you will not see the sunshine anymore!” He's mad. Alpha Alexander's face was also dark, and I know my life is in danger. I couldn't imagine the trouble I've gotten with my first day. This was supposed to be the first-ever job that I have in this
~James~I turned my head at the back to see if Emerald had finally left the place. I just don't want her to see how I will kill these bastards who dared to put her life at risk. ‘Do you think we can do this?’ Logan asked at the back of my head. A smirk formed on my lips because of that. I have killed many enemies and these numbers wouldn't be a problem to me.‘You are acting as if you haven't killed for so long,’ I sputtered, and it made him laugh.‘I'm just kidding aside. I know we can do this.’I just shook my head, my eyes turned at Alpha Alexander. I know this Alpha. His pack is small, but no one should underestimate him. He has a strong army as well, but it won't do anything for me. I can kill all of them together, and they are scared of me.“What's happening here?” I turned my head at the back when I suddenly heard Gideon's voice. He just came, his face filled with confusion as he looked at me as well as this group in front of us. “Where have you been?” I blurted, eyes alrea
