~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
~Emerald~Everyone shut their mouths after Gideon interrupted the conversation. I let out a heavy sigh and stared at Gideon who was smirking while looking at me.I couldn't stop myself from gritting my teeth as I spoke, “Do I have to thank you for saving me from your stupid head warrior?” Gideon chuckled. He took my hand and I tried to remove it, but he's not letting it go. “You don't have to do that, My Luna. We are getting married and you will become my wife. It's my responsibility to protect you at all cost,” Gideon responded, and I almost vomited when I heard those words from him. “I don't need your protection at all, Gideon. I can defend myself, and I won't need anything from you. Let's just focus ourselves on this f*cking wedding because I want to finish this!” I uttered, and he just smirked. Gideon moved his face close to my face and I paused from breathing. I don't want to smell him. I don't want to smell the killer. “Don't worry because I only marry you for one thing. I
~Emerald~I was thankful that after my wedding with Alpha Gideon, he allowed me to go back to my cabin. He has made up his mind and he doesn't want to sleep with me, which is a favor for me. I don't want to sleep with a monster, but there's a problem. Gideon asked Calvin and Natalia to watch me. There are so many warriors assigned to watch the cabin just to make sure I won't escape. Gideon is really insane. “How are you?” I lifted my head when I heard Cassandra. I just came out of the room, and it's already ten in the morning. She was carrying Jacob and I couldn't help but let out a deep breath. “I don't know and until now, I still can't believe that James left us,” I uttered, and tears were about to fall when we heard knocks at the door.Cassandra and I stared at each other. I let out a deep sigh and walked towards the door. Calvin is the one knocking at the door. I just rolled my eyes when I met him. “Gideon wanted to talk to you in his office,” Calvin said, which made me smile
