~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
~Emerald~“W-What do you mean?” I stuttered as I asked Cassandra about it. She let out a deep sigh before speaking up. My heart didn't stop from pounding while waiting for her response.“It's just my opinion. I really don't believe that an Alpha King will die just like that. He's the most powerful of the living wolves here. My instincts, as well as my wolf, were telling me that he's alive,” Cassandra uttered, which made me sigh. “I was even hoping that James is still alive, Cass, but…” I bit my bottom lips before I continued speaking. “Gideon showed me the ring of James, and it's a sign that something really happened to him.”Tears kept streaming down my face and I did all my best to stop it, but it was no use. I was still aching in pain thinking about James' sudden death. If I just knew that this day would come, I would have accepted him. ‘Stop! Don't blame yourself for what happened. It is not your fault. No one from us knew this would come. Just put in mind that your son still n
~Emerald~Gideon never answered me and I did not push him. I just prayed silently that I was only mistaken about my instincts. I don't want something to happen to the pack that James' built for how many years. Many innocent wolves are living there, and I don't know what will happen to them if we arrive there.‘Gideon is a monster. I couldn't believe he's hiding his true self from you for a year!’ Lilian sputtered. I let out a deep sigh in a silent manner after hearing what she said. No one really expected that Gideon was actually a devil Alpha. I know I called James a devil Alpha before, but the truth is, Gideon was actually the devil Alpha. He killed his step-brother. He took the life of my child's father. I don't know what else Gideon can do. ‘Not all devil Alpha can survive forever. His end will come, and we will wait for that moment. I will prepare his graveyard, Lilian, I swear!’ I grunted upon saying those words to Lilian. My wolf just nodded her head to agree with me. At th
~Emerald~My eyes suddenly widened from what I saw. I could even feel my heart pounded so fast while staring at the syringe that Calvin was holding. I was nervous when I saw how Levi fell asleep after Calvin injected him.“What did you do to Levi, Gideon!?” I asked in my gritted teeth. Gideon turned his head at me, and then he began smirking. He crossed his arms and said, “Don't worry, I only used a sleeping pill for him. I have no plans of killing him because he has a great use to me for all my plans. I just wanted to take his consciousness because he kept on resisting. This will only slow my plans from working.”After I heard these words from him, I couldn't help but grit my teeth in anger. I never expected that they had this weapon that could make a wolf lose its consciousness. I wondered what they used to kill James. As I thought about them killing James, my heart was screaming in madness. I wanted to slay them now.“I couldn't imagine you would turn into a monster I have never
~Emerald~I have never expected that Gideon will command his men to attack those groups of wolves in front of us. My attention turned to Gideon, and then I noticed his serious reaction which means he really intended what he said to his warriors. Gideon's warriors began the attack and I saw how the wolves in this pack fought back for their lives. They fight back against the warriors of Gideon. I just felt my heart pounding, so I immediately walked in Gideon's direction to talk to him. “Stop this, Gideon!” I yelled, but he just glanced at me. “Are you blind?” Gideon uttered. “Those wolves wanted war. They intentionally wait for me here, so it means they really want to try me.”I shook my head, teeth gritted in annoyance towards Gideon. I can't believe he started his plans.“Why don't you just admit that you have other plans for this pack, Gideon? I know you only wanted revenge because this pack refused you before, and it's James' pack!” I mumbled, which made him grin. “You got it,
