~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.โEmerald.โ I suddenl
~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.โThe fact will not change that no one can ever beat James. He will save me here just so you know!โ 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.โHow would your man save you here, Emerald?โI 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.โI 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~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.โAre you ready for your change, Emerald?โI 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.โDo whatever you want to do from me, Gideon, but here's what I can promise to youโฆโ I uttered, taking a quick pa
~Emerald~โWe've been married for three years?โConfusion 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?โYes, 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.โ 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.โIs that so?โ 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 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.โEmerald,โ 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.โWhat are you doing here?โ I responded to her, and she looked stunned upon seeing my reaction.โG-Gideon told me to get you. He's waiting outside,โ 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.โWhere's Beatrice? I thought she's going to accompany me outside,โ 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.โBeatrice was outside already.
~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.โI should investigate this.โ 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.โGideon,โ I called his name, making him turn his head at me.โWhat's wrong?โ 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
~James~โWe found them, James.โI stood up from my seat when these words echoed inside the room. My heart pounded so fast as I looked at Levi.โWhere are they, Levi?โ I asked, making him let out a sigh.โOur spy is willing to cooperate with us. As of now, I need to prepare our men to go there, James. We have to save Emerald as soon as possible.โ Levi responded.I nodded my head while my hands clenched in anger when I remembered Gideon's face. I just can't wait to see him. He took my wife and I swear I will make him pay for what he did to us.They will pay for putting my wife in danger. This time, I will make sure that my wife will come back to us, safely.โPrepare everything, Levi. We will go there and save Emerald whatever happens. We can't allow her to be with the enemies. They will use her against us!โ I declared, making him nod his head.โI will make sure to do my best to rescue her, James, not because of you. This is Cassandra's request. She has been crying since last night with
~Emerald~โEveryone, listen to me!โGideon tried to get the attention of his members while I remained silent in the corner. My arms were crossed as I continued watching them. I know deep within my heart that something is not really right.That man named James just captured my attention. I can feel a connection with him that I can't even explain.Is he part of my past?โI know one of you already knew that this woman beside me is my wife, but still, I wanted to remind you about it once again. This woman is my wife and because of that, I wanted all of you to fear her. I don't want to see anybody talk to my wife and say something that's against my policy, or else I will kill you!โI stood up straight when Gideon suddenly uttered these words. My brows suddenly furrowed because of what he just said to his members.โWhy do you want to disallow them from talking to me?โ I muttered, confusion covered my face.Gideon turned his head at me, his lips curled into a playful smirk.โI just don't wan
~Emerald~Months had passed by so quickly that we didn't notice. There are so many things that happened to us and now, I am carrying our second child. My labor is about to arrive, and we are now preparing for that. At this moment, I was in the living room with my friends. James is not here today because he has a meeting with the other Alphas. Of course, nothing changed. He's still busy with his responsibility and as his wife, I am being understandable.Aside from being the most powerful wolf, he's also handling the pack that we live in now.โIs there anything you wanted to eat, Emerald?โ Katie asked.I looked at her, a smile formed on my lips. Never did I imagine that Katie would stay with us until now. Our start was never good. She's James' mistress before, but I was able to forgive her because she changed. She proved to me how sorry she was for what happened, and now she's part of the family. โAnything as long as it's healthy,โ I responded, rubbing my stomach. โGot it, Luna,โ she
~Emerald~I nodded my head from what James had told me now.โI know, James, but you can't stop me from helping you. You always protected me, and now it's my turn to do the favor,โ I muttered in my calm tone.James shut his eyes, calming himself. I even saw him taking a deep breath before taking my hands to hold it.โI love you, Emerald, but you shouldn't feel guilty about all the things I did for you. It is my responsibility to protect you. You don't have to worry about me because I can handle myself. I am already on my way to make them pay because I am James, your Alpha King husband,โ he explained, which made me nod my head quickly.โI know, I know, but it's done now. I already killed them with my gun. You couldn't get back to them anymore because I already dealt with them.โ I mumbled.He shook his head, his lips curled. I was glad that he didn't get mad at me. I was already expecting him to scold me for being hard-headed, but I didn't expect his response.James kissed the back of my
~Emerald~Silence fell inside the club when my voice echoed inside. But after a minute, they started laughing. I just felt my blood start to boil when they did that, making me hold my gun tightly.โIt's us, Beautiful. Do you have a problem with that?โThe man in the middle spoke up, his smirk almost reached his ear. I tilted my head, looking at him straight in the eyes.โLook at her. She's playing with a toy gun.โAnother one murmured, which made me smirk. They thought my gun was fake. I don't know what their reactions would be if I shoot them. But I will make the scene so thrilling.โDo you want to try this, Ugly?โ I murmured, and the moment I muttered these words, it triggered him.He stepped closer to approach me, but before he could move his feet, I shot his leg. An excruciating scream echoes inside the club, which makes the other customers stunned.They moved backward, shock was written on their faces. I know they never expected that the toy gun they called is not actually fake.
~Emerald~As I thought about that group who played with James made my blood boil. James already told me that he's dealing with them, and he assigned Levi to find them now, but I still can't help it.It's as if my inner self was telling me to find them. I won't let them play with James, not the person I loved.So, I planned, but I need Ares' help. James is not in the pack for tonight. He was scheduled to visit another ally pack, and he's staying there for one night. Christopher is with him, which means, Levi and Ares are here.Therefore, I looked for them. I am needing them most for my plan. The moment I saw them, I never wasted more time.โLevi, Ares,โ I uttered, seeing the two in the living room.The siblings stood up, looking at me.โWhat's up, Luna Emerald?โ Ares asked, his brows furrowed.I let out a deep breath while looking at them straight in their eyes.โI need both of your help,โ I muttered, which made them confused.โWhat's that, Luna Emerald?โ Levi mumbled.My teeth gritted
~Emerald~Gideon and the other enemies that we have before who made our lives terrible are now finally gone. After the battle, we immediately saved those victims that Gideon imprisoned in his hideout, including Malverra.They are so grateful that we saved them from Gideon. Malverra is now reunited with her husband and others went back to their families.It was a relief to me to know that we saved so many lives through ending Gideon. The asshole has already been buried so deep to make sure that no one is going to dig him. Well, I don't think so. Gideon is gone now and there's no way he will return to our world. He's not that powerful.It's been a month since the day we killed Gideon. James and I were wedded again as our fresh start after dealing with Gideon, and now we're living happily in the pack. Even though he's still busy with his pack duties, he still never forgets about us.James made sure that he spent so much time with us, his family.It's already almost in the middle of the n
~Emerald~I can feel my eyes start to darken upon hearing those words towards Gideon. He admitted to James that he doesn't want his offer because what he wanted is to kill James.Gideon is just so wise, but he's not thinking about the capabilities I possess. He's too focused towards James and I used that opportunity to escape from him. I know that this is risky, but I have no other way to escape from him.โLilian, you know what to do.โAt this point, I let my wolf do the work. Lilian winks at me and the next thing I know, she has already taken my body. Gideon was stunned by what Lilian did, which made him unable to stop us. The moment he let go of me, Lilian started running through James' direction.When James witnessed what my wolf did, he also used that opportunity to run into Gideon's direction. James couldn't move because he knows if he does that, something might happen to me and now that I am no longer in Gideon's hands, nobody can stop James to kill him.After we reached James'
~Emerald~I have no idea where the hideout of Gideon is, but I follow where my heart is taking it. I just listened to my feelings and then my vision also showed me the way. That was unexpected. I never thought that my vision would reveal the way to where the battleground is.For me to reach there easily, I let my wolf lead the way. It only took us half an hour before we finally reached the place. I didn't encounter enemies on my way through the battlefield and was able to arrive there peacefully.โEmerald, better watch your surroundings. You have finally come to the place where the Alpha prohibits you to step into.โ Lilian reminded me, and I nodded my head in response.I took out my gun and started walking through the woods. Howls can be heard in my direction, which made me confirm that I wasn't lost.โI will just find James. He's the reason I followed in here!โ I murmured at the back of my head, while continuing to walk through the hideout.After one minute, I finally reached the fie
~Emerald~I was currently in the room, thinking about James. It's been an hour already since they left the pack and I can't help but think of them. There would be a lot of things to happen knowing that I am not beside him. I just hope that James will succeed in killing Gideon.Making him disappear will solve all of our problems.โYou have to calm down, Emerald. Alpha James is definitely going to make it,โ Lilian uttered at the back of my head.I took out a deep breath before responding to her. It's true that I am really worried until now and this won't disappear if I couldn't see James.โHow can I calm down knowing that he's dealing with Gideon now, Lilian?โ I mumbled, and she just sighed.Lilian was about to speak again when I froze into my direction. I sensed some unfamiliar presence through the woods and my heart began to throb.I went to the window and checked the woods to confirm what I just felt right now. My teeth gritted when I noticed the incoming unfamiliar scents into our p
~Emerald~The moment I opened my eyes, I realized that we are finally back home. James' handsome face met my eyes. His brows furrowed when he looked at me, waiting when I would open my eyes.โWhat?โ I murmured, raising my brows.โI thought you had no plan of waking up. We are finally back at the pack,โ he responded.I moved my head around and then realized that we are still inside the car.โWhy didn't you wake me up?โ I wondered.This time, he couldn't hide his chuckle.โWhy would I? My lady is sleeping peacefully, and I don't want to disturb you in your sleep.โI just shook my head, my lips curled. James helped me come out of the car, and now we're heading towards the mansion.The moment we are about to step inside the mansion, Levi rushes towards us. He was calling James' name, and we turned around at him.โAlpha James, you need to know something,โ Levi stated, making my brows furrow.The serious expression on his face just made me so nervous. I know this reaction from Levi. He brin
