~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
~James~“What's the meaning of this!?” I couldn't control my anger when I found out something. Gideon and a lot of his men are standing in front of me. I turned my head at the back and found out that there are so many enemies surrounding me. I gritted my teeth and hands turned into fists as I looked at Calvin and Natalia. “What's this, Calvin?” I inquired towards my gamma, and he bent his head down. That moment, I knew Calvin betrayed me. I never thought he would do this to me. ‘F*ck! I didn't even know that your gamma is a traitor!’ Logan screamed. I just clenched my fists while staring to him. Natalia is now smirking as if she was so proud of herself that she succeeded in deceiving me. “What happened to the Alpha King of the entire wolves?” Gideon uttered, and my head turned to him at this time.My step-brother was already smirking, but I only shook my head. I couldn't help but cross my arms while looking at him. “Do you think trapping me would make you strong, Gideon?” I gr
~Emerald~I kept walking back and forth while staring at the wall clock. It's already seven in the evening, but James didn't show up. Cassandra and I already pack our things. We are ready to escape in less than thirty seconds before the wedding will start.‘James will not show up anymore, Emerald. Let's go!’ Lilian said, but I let out a sigh. I was waiting for Cassandra because she went back to her house to take something important there.‘We can't. Let's wait a few minutes before leaving. I was still hoping James would show up here,’ I responded to my wolf. Lilian just nodded her head and she didn't complain. Jacob is in his crib, waiting to be carried in the arms. After one minute, I just saw Cassandra rushing inside. “Emerald,” she uttered, which made me look at her. “Alpha Gideon's men are gathered outside. It's as if they were up to something!” I could feel my knees trembling when I heard what Cassandra had told me. I walked through the window in front of the house, and found
~Emerald~My heart was shattered into pieces when I found out what Gideon did to him. He killed the man I love. He killed the man whom I was about to see. Gideon killed James and I have never expected him to do this. “W-Why, Gideon?” I stuttered, and continued, “Why did you do this to him?” Gideon kneeled to level his face with mine. He continued smirking and as I saw his reaction right now, I saw a different person. It's as if I see another Gideon. This is not how he looks before killing James. He looks kind-hearted…‘I told you, Emerald. Gideon is not a kind Alpha. He was hiding something, and I wasn't wrong all this time,’ Lilian muttered, which made me bite my bottom lips. I regretted that I didn't listen to her. My wolf was giving me hints, but I closed my heart. I didn't listen to her and follow what my mind was telling me to do. Just because of that, I totally lost the man whom I realize that I loved now. I totally lost James and I don't know what to do. I wanted to attack
~Emerald~ After getting up from the ground, I turned my body away from him and was about to step my legs when Gideon grabbed my hand. He pulled me back to him and was about to embrace me when I lifted my hand. I slapped him across his face and he froze in his direction. “How dare you kill James, Gideon? How f*cking dare you to touch him!” I raged, tears still streaming from my face. Gideon gritted his teeth. He pointed a finger in my direction with his face covered by anger. I never showed him any hint of fear. Gideon has to know that I am also angry from what he did to James. “Why the f*ck you're defending him now, Emerald? I thought you also wanted him dead?” Gideon asked, his face covered with confusion. I grinned, my fists still clenched while looking at him. “I was defending him because I still loved him. All this time I realized that I still needed him by my side. I didn't feel anything from you, Gideon, and I was right with my decision. I did the right thing that I didn'
~Emerald~My heart was already broken, but it worsened when I found out about James' death. I don't know how to accept this bad news. It's killing me slowly, but when I looked at my son's face, he reminded me of his father. He reminded me that I should not give up because I still got him and everything I am doing now is for him. My wedding with Alpha Gideon will resume tonight at exactly in the middle of the night. I was back at my cabin with Cassandra and Jacob. Gideon's men are everywhere. He found out about my attempt to escape. That's why he made sure his men were guarding the possible exit door of my house. I don't have a choice. He threatened Jacob's life. I don't want my son to suffer in my selfish acts. Even if I don't like it, I have to marry that son of the devil. “Are you sure you want to do this, Em?” I looked up when I heard Cassandra. She was helping me to wear the wedding dress that Gideon prepared for me. I couldn't help but look at myself in the mirror. The weddin
~Emerald~“Calvin? What are you doing here?” I was surprised to see Calvin in front of the door. This man is James' gamma and I knew him when I was still in the Crescent Moon Pack. I suddenly felt hope upon seeing him and maybe James sent him here to pick me before he died.“Emerald,” Calvin uttered in his blank expression. “I am here to pick you up.”I couldn't stop myself from smiling because of what he said. Calvin is James' trusted warrior, and I have known this man ever since. “Did James tell you to pick me up? Is he alive, Calvin?” I asked, my heart filled with excitement. However, Calvin just stared at me blankly. Seeing that reaction from his face made me nervous. It's as if something is not right and my heart could feel it now. “James didn't ask me to pick you up, but Gideon. Your wedding with him will be in a moment, Emerald. We should—”Calvin didn't finish his words when I cut him from talking.“You are working with Gideon?” I blurted, and Calvin let out a sigh. I jus
