~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
~Emerald~“You should always keep your distance from James. I don't want to see suffering in his hands anymore, Emerald.”These are the words that Gideon reminded me of about Alpha James after he took me to my cabin. He's been very busy from his pack duties, yet he was able to come to defend me from the enemies.‘Don't forget as well that Alpha James was the reason you escaped from their hands.’I just shook my head from what Lilian had uttered. I know what he did for me. I'm not stupid not to remember it.‘Yes, he did, but Gideon killed Alpha Alexander for me. I saw it with my own two eyes when I went back there.’ Lilian let out a heavy sigh. She didn't say anything and chose to keep her mouth shut until I came inside the cabin.Alpha Gideon doesn't want me to work anymore. He told me I should work with him and there's no need for me to look for a job from outside. Alpha Gideon will prepare my job. I swear I tried my best to decline it, but he's an Alpha. He owns this pack. He corn
~Emerald~I wiped the sweat on my forehead after I treated James' wound. He was already asleep on the bed and his trembling body had already stopped.I lay down on the couch, pinned my back against it. My eyes laid at James, and then I took out a deep breath. I checked my son Jacob, and he was still asleep until now. It's almost in the middle of the night and my body is tired.I could no longer keep myself still awake, so I decided to sleep and just hoped that James would be fine tomorrow. He needed to leave my cabin because I didn't want anyone to see him here. I don't want him and Gideon to fight again.‘Everything would be alright, Emerald. You can take your rest, and don't worry because I'll make sure everything will be fine tonight.’ I smiled from what Lilian had told me. After she said those words, I decided to close my eyes and let the darkness cover my eyes. The next morning, I woke up late already. The first thing I did was to check Jacob on his crib, and my world stumbled
