~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
~Emerald~I know something is just not right. My heart was telling me that I should follow my instincts. There's something wrong with Gideon's statement. Knowing that I have lost my memories about the past made me wonder.‘I should investigate this.’ I mumbled at the back of my head.My head suddenly turned at Gideon. He was still holding my hand as we kept on walking through the field, where other wolves were waiting for us. My heart pounded so fast, and I felt something unusual had happened.“Gideon,” I called his name, making him turn his head at me.“What's wrong?” He asked with his furrowed brows.I tilted my head as I kept looking at him. Staring at Gideon made me feel something very unusual. My heart was telling me that we can't trust him. It's telling me that Gideon is not my husband, and he's lying to me.It was him who made me lose my memories and not the attacker that he's telling me about. I don't know, but my instincts right now are just too strong.At this moment, I shou
~Emerald~I was looking at myself in the mirror while my mind wandered somewhere else. I just finished myself preparing for the presentation that Gideon wanted to do with me in front of the people.“Emerald,” I turned around when I heard that familiar voice.My brows furrowed when I saw Allison behind my back. And then, I just felt a strange reaction deep within when I saw her face. It's anger that I couldn't explain.“What are you doing here?” I responded to her, and she looked stunned upon seeing my reaction.“G-Gideon told me to get you. He's waiting outside,” Allison responded to me in her stammering tone.A smirk formed on my lips and crossed my arms. I looked at her, especially deep within her eyes. I wanted to read her expression.“Where's Beatrice? I thought she's going to accompany me outside,” I muttered, seriously.Allison let out a deep and heavy breath. She tried to maintain her composure, avoiding herself from flinching with my pierce look.“Beatrice was outside already.
~Emerald~“We've been married for three years?”Confusion covered my eyes as I looked into the face of a man in front of me. He's Gideon, and it's just so weird that I can only remember his face. There's no other faces in my head aside from Gideon and I felt this was so strange.Like, what just really happened to me? Why can't I remember anything, even the last thing I did last night?“Yes, we've been married for three years already. I know you have so many questions in your head and it's because you just had a surgery last night. Someone attacked you, and you have a severe wound to your head. To save you from dying, I have to let you have surgery.” Gideon explained to me.I couldn't help but furrow my brows while looking at him. There were still a lot of questions in my mind, but I can't speak it out. My head will ache if I push myself from thinking about it.“Is that so?” I mumbled, still not leaving my eyes from him.Gideon smiled at me. He walked closer to my bed and when he reach
~Emerald~I am losing hope now. I know no one will come to save me here because Gideon made sure that nobody can locate me. The connection that I have with James was no longer there. I couldn't talk to my wolf and I don't know why. I don't know how they manage to take everything from me but I know one thing for sure.They wanted to make sure that this time, I will be caught up. I have no more escape from what's destined to happen to me. If something happened, I could only promise one thing. I will make sure that I will find a way to escape from here.Gideon will not be able to control me for the rest of my life. I have to think of my son and those who trusted me.“Are you ready for your change, Emerald?”I lifted my head when I heard Gideon speak again. My teeth gritted as I met his gaze. He's just too evil, and I wanted to smash his face until he lost his breath right now.“Do whatever you want to do from me, Gideon, but here's what I can promise to you…” I uttered, taking a quick pa
~Emerald~I can still feel my eyes darkened as I keep staring at Allison's face. Her betrayal with me is unforgivable. I just can't imagine that my best friend would do this to me. If I escape from here, I swear she's the first one that I will punish.“The fact will not change that no one can ever beat James. He will save me here just so you know!” I blurted, making Allison let out a sigh.She just looked at me and when she's about to open her lips, someone suddenly speaks.“How would your man save you here, Emerald?”I just felt my blood boil upon seeing his face. Gideon has finally come and behind him were new faces that I've never met before. Their aura looks so dark, and I wouldn't be surprised with that.I am not surprised as well that he's here. Gideon is willing to do everything he could just to make us down.“I just can't believe the desperation you had, Gideon. You are willing to use those wolves who are connected to us just to get me. I can't believe you have to use force ju
~Emerald~The moment I opened my eyes, I found myself in a secured room. I tried floundering, hoping to escape from the leash that was tied to me. However, I just found myself exhausted after several tries.They made sure that the leash on me won't be easy to remove and that I can't escape from here. I couldn't help but grit my teeth thinking about what just happened. Allison, the childhood friend I trusted, suddenly betrayed me. I never expected that she could do this to me. She's just too good to pretend and I have trusted her. I trusted her because she's a friend. I thought she's real to me. This incident taught me so many life lessons that I should not trust someone that easily.And if there's a mistake that I've regretted now, it's about letting Allison fool me. I will not forgive her for what she did, and I know uncle Tobias won't let her daughter be lost. Allison is a kindhearted woman, and it's really shocking that she will betray me for a higher reward.“Emerald.” I suddenl
~James~“I really don't like how your wife acted, Alpha James!”Nora followed me inside the office. She can't accept that Emerald would do that to her.“Shut up, Nora! Just so you know, you are just one of my warriors and if it's not because of your father, you should not be here!”My blood is still boiling at Nora. She messed up with my wife and if it's not because of her father, I will throw her out. They are thankful that I need them now to strengthen the safety of the pack but if not, they will never be able to step in this pack.“Why don't you tell your wife that I am your ex-girlfriend? She didn't know, right?”I suddenly turned my head at Nora because of what she just said. My teeth gritted, eyes darkened.“Why would I do that? We're done before my wife came into the picture. I broke up with you and I don't need to tell my wife that you are my ex-girlfriend. You're just insane!”I shook my head upon saying these words to Nora. She even gritted her teeth after hearing my respons
~Emerald~After Allison and I talked about our plans, I went back to the room just to get my gun. No one noticed us as we left the mansion, and now we're on our way to the new hideout of Gideon.I just hope that Gideon was still there. We need to find him as soon as possible and I will not waste time. If I couldn't kill Gideon with the gun, then I will use my wolf form. This time, I will make sure to give my best. There is no way I will allow that asshole to escape once again.“Are we close to the hideout, Allison?” I asked her.Allison was leading the way because she knew where to find Gideon. She just turned around and looked at me for a second.“Don't worry, Emerald. We are already closed. Just prepare yourself in case we meet the enemies on our way,” Allison reminded me and I nodded my head to her.I didn't ask anything from her because I trusted Allison. She won't betray me after the help I did towards their pack. Allison knew what's right and what's wrong. She will never do some
~Emerald~“That's enough!”I could feel my heart suddenly stop beating for a moment when I heard that voice. My nerves were shaking as I slowly turned my head from the back.And then my eyes met with James. His hard expression made me gulp as I worried about his expression.“Alpha James…” Nora mumbled, moving away from me.James never looked at her. His attention was focused on me. Seeing that expression from him, I know what's in his mind.“What's this, Emerald?” He asked in his cold tone.I let out a deep breath, calming myself as I met his gaze. James will definitely scold me for messing up with his newly hired warrior. I already knew that and there's no need for him to say it aloud with me.“I know you're going to scold me from what I did, but you know me so well, James. I will never do that without deep reason. You can think whatever you want, and I'm tired of defending myself. I know you will take her side because she was our visitor, so go ahead. I'm leaving.”I turned my head
