Chapter 56
EMERALD POV?
âI told you to leave that pack with your son Rachel, but you never listened!â Dad bursted angrily as he hit his hand on the table.
âI canât just leave the pack like that Dad, you of all people should know we are so close to our game. Xavier trusts me and that is the most important thing right nowâ I said and Gabriel and Penny stared at me calmly.
âWhat exactly are you planning Rachel? we canât waste anymore of our time. You said it yourself that your son got hurt, when are you going to strike if you donât do it now?â Gabriel Fernandez asked in anger.
âXavier is not a kid, he is a powerful man. We canât just attack him!â I bursted angrily.
âThen we attack what makes him powerfulâ Gabriel said and we all stared at him calmly.
âAnd what is that?â Dad asked.
âHis business, if anything happens to Xavierâs company he would be left strandedâ Gabriel dropped the bombshell, and Penelope drank from her glass of wine.
âHe is the Alpha of one of the biggest werewolf packs in the realm, that wouldnât ruin him that muchâ Dad said and I sighed.
âBut it is a good startâ I said and Gabriel smirked.
âWe should do that without a trace, X constructions is definitely one of the biggest things funding the pack. If we can bring it down we have gotten one of his biggest weaknessesâ I said and Fernandez smirked.
âA toast to Rachelâs revengeâ Gabriel said and everyone raised a toast.
After the meeting, I walked out of the office with Gabriel.
âYou look beautifulâ he said and I stared at him.
âIs this you flirting with me?â I asked and he smiled.
âYou know how I feel about you Rachelâ he said and I chuckled.
âGabriel we have a lot on our hands, I canât be with you and still be with Xavier at the same timeâ I said and I noticed his countenance change.
âRachel what you have with Xavier is not something serious, What I want with you is something more seriousâ he said and I didnât know how to react to that.

I hav a lot on my plate, am I donât think I can add a man to the list of my problems..
âWe can talk about this after all this comes to an endâ I said and he gave a nod.
âBe careful, donât trust him too muchâ he said as he hugged me.
âI know Fernandez, you take careâ I said as I got into my car.
Getting to the pack house, the kids nanny walked up to me with the both of them.
âMummyâ they said as they hugged me happily.
âHow are my kids doing?â I asked and they smiled.
âFine mom, I missed youâ Damien said as he hugged me closer.
Itâs been three days since the accident happened, I decided to tell them my Dad and the others today in other to get us prepared for whatever happens.
âWhat happened in my absence?â I asked and the Nanny smiled.
âI did not leave them even for a minute maâam Rachelâ she said and I gave a nod.
âI
âKeep it up, I still have a few things to take care ofâ I said and she gave a nod.
Getting into the room, I freshened you and decided to take a stroll around the pack. I needed more information, because information is power and after what Jax said the other time, I badly want to meet his mom.
âJaxâ I said walking over to him, I was clad in a black free dress and sandals.
âMaâam Rachelâ he said and I stared at him without a word for some time.
âDid you walk over to me just to watch me?â he asked and I took a deep breath in and
OUL
âIâm curious about lot of things Jax, I want to meet your motherâ I said and he stared at me directly in my eyes.
âI knew you had no good intentions when you visited me. You are not a good woman Rachel I could smell it from a distanceâ he said and I looked away.
âIâm not a bad person, ám just someone who started using her heart lessâ I said and he gave a nod.
We walked out together and I smiled.
âYou are still going to take me to her?â I asked and he chuckled.
Chapter 56
âMy mom has scores to settle with these people, I believe you deserve to meet herâ he said and that got me thinking.
I canât help but imagine the amount of people Carlos and Xavier hurt. Carlos especially was nothing but a cruel bas tard who enjoyed seeing people suffer. My eyes scan the area, I havenât walked to this side of the pack ever since I left after the rejection.
âThis wayâ Jax said and led me into the house.
âBrotherâ a young girl walked over to us as she hugged Jax.
âWhere is mom?â he asked her curiously.
âIn the sitting roomâ she said as she led us into the house.
âMom Jax is here with the Alphaâs girlfriendâ she said and I raised my eyebrows in Jaxâs direction.
âIt is a old news that you are the Alphaâs girlfriendâ he said and I felt the urge to facepalm myself.
âNews travel so fastâ I said, and that ia when my eyes moved around inspecting the
room.
They where middle class people and it was quiet evident.
âRachelâ the woman said as she gestured for me to seat down.
âGood evening maâ I said and she chuckled.
âVery respectfulâ she said and I smiled.
âI knew you would come to me very soonâ she said and I just watched her calmly.
âWhat did they do to you?â I asked and she stared at her kids who walked away immediately.
âWhat did they do to you?â she threw the questions back at me.
âA lot, if we start talking about, it wonât be able to finishâ I said and she smiled.
âThey hurt me Rachel, the pack house holds a lot of secrets. I had to run for my life before I loose my lifeâ she said and my eyes moved over to her wheelchair.
âDonât tell me they caused thisâ I said and she laughed.
âThis is nothing compared to what they have done to meâ she said and I stared at her speechlessly.

âHe was a cruel manâ I said as my mind went over to the countless times he hurt me.
âCarlos raped me Rachel almost every nightâ¦..â she trailed and I froze.
âIâm sorryâ I said holding her hands calmly.
âThis is a game you shouldnât play with your heart, be carefulâ she said and I listened. attentively to everything she has to say.
If I had the mind about changing my plans, after what I just heard I am not thinking about it anymore. Xavier and his pack deserves anything I dish to them, after all this pack was built on the tears of others.
Jaxâs mom did not deserve anything of this,my heart burnt in pain as I listened to her
story

âBabeâ she said and I smiled as she made her way into my room.
âHey, where have you been all day?â I asked and she hugged me sweetly from behind.
âWorkâ she said and I raised my eyebrows.
âWork? I stopped by your company today because I wanted to suprise you with lunchâ I said and she sighed.
âI went out with my Dad, it was something importantâ she said and my k*ssed my l*ps slowly.
I pulled away after some time and she stared at me.
âIs everything okay? you look worriedâ she said and I sighed.
âI donât know why I feel so disturbedâ I said and she raised my eyebrows.
âYou wanna talk about it?â she asked and I shook my head,
âNoâ I said and she sat on my laps and pulled my face towards hers.
âEverything is going to be alrightâ she said and for some reason her words felt like magic to my soul.
âThanks loveâ I said and she smiled.

âCâmon letâs go have dinnerâ she said and I stood up as we walked out of the room together.
After dinner, we both retired to our room freshened up together and decided to call it a night. We were still locked up in each otherâs arms when I received a call from someone. I stared at my phone and put in on airplane mode, I was too tired to receive any calls.
The next morning we were still asleep when I heard a knock on the door, I sighed as I opened my eyes softly.
âWho is at the door?â Rachel asked as she groaned softly.
âI will just go ahead and check it outâ she said and walked over to the door and I frowned when Jayden walked into the room.
âWe have a problem Alpha Xavierâ he said and I sat up immediately.
âThe X contructions building caught fire last nightâ he said and my world came crashing down.
