~James~“F*ck!” Tristan couldn't help but scream in pain after I twisted his arm. He fell to the ground, screaming in so much pain because of the painful and traumatic thing I did to him.His friends stepped back after what I did. I just used a small portion of my ability, and it's already a big deal to them.“Who else?” I asked in my deep threatening tone. No one dared to speak up. No one even dared to blink an eye. They are all shocked from what I did, particularly the strength I have shown them. “W-What are you?” The audience went crazy, guessing about what kind of an animal I am. I only used my strength and it already made an impact on them. I couldn't imagine their reactions could be when they saw me shift.“What am I?” I asked in my grinning reaction. I stood straight while facing the crowd who were waiting for my answer.“Where did you get such strength that you can lift a man in one hand?”“Are you a monster?” So many speculations had been circulated around the room and
~James~My men brought me from where they held their prisoner. I could no longer wait to see who they got for me. I couldn't wait to interrogate the person and do all my best until he admits everything he knew about Gideon. “She's tough to handle, Alpha James,” Levi uttered, which made my brows furrowed. I looked at him with my face covered with confusion, and spoke, “She?”Levi let out a sigh. I just couldn't believe that our prisoner was a she.“Yes, she's a she-wolf, but don't get fooled by her gender. She's also strong like male wolves and according to Calvin, she has everything you need because that woman has been part of Gideon's plans,” Levi explained to me.I nodded my head in response to him, and they opened the interrogation room for me to enter it. My head titled when I saw her face. I just can't believe that my men captured Gideon's head warrior named Selene. I know that woman. She's the head warrior who trained Emerald and the rest of Gideon's recruit men. “Natalia,”
~James~Natalia, who heard my words, nodded her head in response. I stared at her for a moment and then she sighed. “There is something you need to know as well, Alpha James,” Natalia said in her sad voice. I looked at her with furrowed brows. There's something in my heart that already knows what Natalia would about to tell me. I could already feel that it has something to do about Emerald.I uttered, “Tell me what it is.”Natalia's pressed lips opened up, and she spoke, “Gideon and Emerald are getting married. I heard it before your men took me here, but I don't know when the ceremony will start.”My fists clenched from what Natalia had told me. I know Gideon has already asked her hand, but I didn't expect that the wedding ceremony would come early. ‘Gideon definitely used the moment when Emerald accepted his proposal. He wouldn't waste some time, and you're getting late, James. You have to do something to stop the marriage, or else Emerald will suffer again!’ Logan muttered at th
~Emerald~I woke up so early the next morning when I heard knocks at my door. Jacob was crying in his crib and Cassandra is not here yet. I left him for a moment to open the door and Gideon's men were what I found outside. They are holding a big box and my eyes are fixed on it. I stared at the box with my furrowed brows. “Miss Emerald, Alpha Gideon would like to give you this. He can't come here because he's busy preparing for your wedding with him tonight.”I moved backwards upon hearing those words from one of Gideon's men. I didn't expect that he had already prepared the wedding without my consent. “O-Our wedding will be tonight?” I asked, stuttering. Gideon's men stared at each other as if they were confused about what I had said. Gideon and I were just engaged last night and I can't believe that we are getting married tonight. Is it not too early for this? ‘You wanted this, right? Don't be surprised. This is already expected, Emerald,’ Lilian responded at the back of my hea
~Emerald~“I don't know, Cass. I don't know if I still wanted to marry Gideon. Lying to myself is the wrong thing I did.”Cassandra was listening to me. Her stare looks like it was telling me how she wants to comfort me right now. I am really grateful to have her as my friend. She's the only person I can trust with. ‘I asked you to listen to me before, but I will not regret it. I understand your feelings, Emerald,’ Lilian muttered at the back of my head. I just bit my bottom lips, trying to stop my tears from falling again. All this time, my wolf is right. She was giving me clues those times, but I didn't mind her. I keep on shutting her. “If you're doubting about marrying Gideon, then don't continue it. Don't punish yourself into this marriage that you don't like at all. You should learn to follow what your heart wants, Emerald,” Cassandra uttered to me. I looked at her and saw her gaze. She was looking at me as if she's trying to convince me about doing what is right and this ma
~James~I waited the whole night for Levi's information about what's going on at Gideon's pack. He's not calling me yet and while waiting for his information, I decided to talk to everyone. I wanted to prepare them just in case something happened to me. The wolves at the Crescent Moon Pack wondered what could be the reason for my sudden meeting with them. They are already gathered at the field and commotion has started. As they saw me coming, they were all in silence. “I know each one of you are wondering what could be the reason I called all of you here,” I began the speech and the entire pack were listening. “I just wanted to inform all of you that you have to be careful, no matter what happens. You all have to prepare in case something will happen. We all know that there are so many enemies who want to see me down, and I'm worried that they will indulge all of you.”As those words escaped from me, the wolves were in chaos. I could see them quarreling and talking about something a
~James~It's as if my world rambled when I heard those words from Natalia. My body started trembling, my heart started shrinking. The tears from my eyes were threatening to fall, but I kept my composure. I should not show any weakness towards Natalia and most of all, this is not the perfect time for crying.“Tell Levi to take a rest, Natalia. He has nothing to worry about. I will handle this situation myself.” My head tilted down as I said those words to her. Natalia furrowed her brows. She wondered what could be in my head, but she didn't say anything. Natalia bowed her head and left me.I watched her leave before letting my tears fall from my eyes. This information I have gotten from Levi was too painful to handle. I can't imagine the woman I desired to be with someone else. She's supposed to be mine. I first owned her. Emerald is mine.‘If you love her, then do something!’ Logan uttered.My hands turned into fists and I nodded my head to agree with Logan. I will definitely stop th
~James~Levi bowed his head as a sign of giving up. I know he would rather not oppose my decision and there's nothing he can do about it.“Seems that I couldn't stop you anymore, Alpha James. I know you just loved that woman, and I am not against it, but you know you can't stop us from worrying. You are not just an Alpha, but you are an Alpha King, and if—”“Gideon and the rest of his allies couldn't bring me down. I swear to all of you that I will do my best to survive, but of course we have to be sure. Just in case I won't return tomorrow until dawn, it means something happened to me. It means that I failed to save my family, and you know what to do, Levi. Declare yourself as the Alpha of the pack with my blessing. Wolves already know the rules.”I got it. Levi worries that Gideon might be able to kill me and with that, he could have my position, but I am not weak.“But—”Levi couldn't continue his words when I cut him off from talking again. “No buts, Levi. Do what I told you. I wi
