~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
~Emerald~It sounded surreal as I thought about the decision I made. I know this could be a betrayal to my promise before, but I have to consider my son's happiness. He needs his father's warmth, and I can't take that moment from him. I will just allow James to hold my son, but my plans with him will still be fulfilled. Nothing will change, and it doesn't matter if he's my son's father. “Don't you dare do something that will make me angry, James. You are not going to bring him out of my cabin. See my son in here, but you can't take him out,” I uttered, while looking at James. “Do you understand?” James nodded his head, still holding my son in his arms. He remained staring at me as if he were thinking about something. I just felt my heart pounded by the looks that James is giving me now.“Did Gideon carry my son?” I was stunned in my direction because of his sudden question at me. My lips pursed, and it took me a minute before I responded to him.“You don't care about that. Just mi
~Emerald~Emerald left the house without letting James know about it. She just told Cassandra she has to leave and remind her about James.As she walks the way through Gideon's office, her mind doesn't leave the house. She can't stop thinking about James and his son. “I thought you hated him?” Lilian spoke all of a sudden.I stopped walking, my fists clenched about what she just asked.“Of course I'm mad at him.”Lilian couldn't stop herself from laughing. I just shook my head and kept on walking. If I listened to what my wolf was telling me, this would bring me into chaos.I won't allow anyone to dictate about what I will do, especially about what I feel. This is my life. I have the right to do what I want to do without thinking about anybody and no one can stop me from doing that.“I didn't stop you, Emerald. You mentioned that you can control what you feel, so if you fall for James again, that's not my fault.”I was stunned upon hearing these words from my Lilian. My heartbeat rac
~Emerald~Gideon rose from his seat just to walk in front of me. I followed him with my confused look, while my heart kept pounding so fast. “I know you are going to decline this offer, but this for the best, Emerald. This work is for you, and I made this only for you,” Gideon uttered in his deep voice.My brows were furrowed while listening to him. I have this feeling that Gideon will offer me a higher chance of being on his side. ‘That's what I felt too, Emerald!’ Lilian spoke at the back of my head. I let out a sigh, and stared at him deep into his eyes. Even if I will decline this, Gideon will still pursue this. He will do his best just for me to accept it, and I don't want to disappoint him. “Just tell me, Gideon…” I uttered, and then he took a deep breath. Gideon's eyes were fixed on me as he spoke, “I want to appoint you as my gamma, Emerald.”I was stunned, almost gasping from what I've heard towards Gideon. As I stared into his eyes, all I found was sincerity. He meant w
~Emerald~“If you are pleased to have Emerald as the newly appointed gamma, you are free to quit your job. I don't need a beta like you!” Damian's hard reaction from earlier suddenly softened after Gideon burst into anger. He let out a heavy sigh, and bowed his head down. “I apologize for overreacting, Alpha Gideon. I will do what you said to me, and I'm sorry again. To you, Emerald…” Damian uttered. “I apologize as well for judging you.”I nodded my head towards Damian. He's just worried about the pack's situation and I understand his reaction. I won't plant a grudge with him just because of that. ‘He's just faking it. He's not sincere with his apologies!’ Lilian interrupted.I shook my head again, and did not mind what Lilian had told me.Damian left the room as fast as he could, so I turned my head at Gideon. He was calming himself by closing his eyes, and when he's fine, he looked at me. “Maybe, Damian is right, Gideon,” I uttered, trying my best not to make him mad.Gideon ju
