Chapter 62
EMERALD POV?
The past few days have been really hectic for me, Xavier became very suspicious after Gabriel Fernández came to see me at the hospital. If not for the incident, I donât know the perfect excuse to have given to the brooding Alpha. After all am not supposed to be close to his enemies in the first place.
I called Gilbert to refrain from calling me for the main time before we get into further trouble. Right now I was on my way to Jaxâs house to talk about our plans with his mother. The earlier we start talking about it the better for all of us, I have this strong hunch that Xavier would find out soon and I really wanted to be prepared for the worse thing that could happen.
âGood evening maâamâ I said as she gestured for me to take a seat, I looked around the house trying to make sure everything was okay.
âHow are you fairing? I heard what happened to youâ she said and I sighed.
âI wasnât expecting the attack, but am pretty sure it was one of Xavierâs enemiesâ I said. and the woman looked really worried for me.
âThis is exactly why I feel like they are cursed, his father brought me nothing but trouble and now being involved with Xavier almost cost you your life. You should be very careful.â she advised and I saw reasons with her.
âRachel is not dumb mom, this woman is smarter than you think. I believe she knows what she is doingâ Jax said as he sat on the opposite chair.
âI have plans on taking over the pack, but not as the Alpha. I want to ruin what Carlos has worked years for, I want to ruin the pack that made him hurt and ruin innocent lives.â I said and she sighed.
âCarlos, the man was as cruel as the devil. But nothing compares to the devilâs daughter Maggieâ she said and I raised my eyebrows.
âMaggie?â I asked curiously.
I knew something was off about Aunt Maggie when I found out she hurt Damien. What would make a middle aged woman like her hurt a five year old, if she isnât a psychopath.
âMaggie is one of the worse things to have happened to the pack. I worked with the family long enough to know all her d*rty secrets, I would have not be in the land of the living if I didnât run away from the pack house and retire working as a maidâ she said. and I felt shocked.

My eyes moved over to her wheelchair and she gave a nod.
âJeezâ I gasped as my hand went over to my mouth.

The more revelation I got about the d*rty secrets of the pack house, the more my heart. ached.
âI had to leave before they find out how much I knew alreadyâ she said and I gave a nod.
âMaggie and Carlos used to have an affair, she shamelessly f ucked the man even up until his deathâ she said and I froze.
I could not wrap my head around the fact that the ever sweet Maggie was that cruel, how does she manage to play her game so smoothly.
âCarlos was basically her sisters husband for goodness sakeâ I said and Jax chuckled.
âSleeping with him should already give you the impression that she cared lessâ he said and I couldnât agree more, it was quiet obvious.
âWhat do you intend to do?â she asked and I rubbed my forehead.
âXavierâs enemies seem to be increasing day by dayâ¦â I trailed..
âHow about you keep an eye on Jayden?â Jax asked.
âWhy should I keep my eyes on Xavierâs best friend? We have a lot of things to do not watch the guys best friendâ I said and Jax smirked..
âWhen I say you need to keep your eyes on Jayden, do it and thank me later he said. and I took a deep breath in and out. Whatever he must have discovered about Xavierâs best friend most be suspicious, what else would be the reason for him to ask me specifically to keep my eyes on Jayden?
We talked about some important things before I decided to call it a day, making a m ental note to keep my eyes on Jayden.
Making my way into the pack house, I met Xavier talking to his aunt and some men.
âHey babyâ I said and made my way over to them. Aunt Maggie forced a smile on her face as she looked to my direction before focusing on the other men.
Xavier sn*ked his hand around my waist and focused on talking to the people. After some time he dismissed them and turned his attention to me.
âWhat where you guys talking about?â I asked and he smiled.

âJust pack stuffs, I missed youâ he said and k*ssed my l*ps, we k*ssed for a minute before breaking it.
âWhere have e you been? I was looking for youâ he said as we walked towards our room. together.
âDecided to walk around the pack, you guys have such a beautiful placeâ I said and he laughed.
âYou say it like you are used to the werewolf lifeâ he said teasingly.
âIâm dating the Alpha remember I said and he laughed.
âI love the way you blend into my worldâ he said as he hugged me from behind. I felt a bit guilty for the lies I was telling, it felt like every moment with him gave birth to more lies. I didnât even know how to control them anymore.
âBabeâ he called and I snapped my head over to his direction.
âIs everything okay?â he asked worriedly.
âYes everything is fine, I just had my mind somewhere elseâ I said and he walked over to me and raised my chin up making my eyes met his.
âI have been talking to you for few minutes now, and it felt like you had your mind somewhere elseâ he said and I opened and closed my mouth immediately, it was useless trying to defend myself.

âIt has been a long time since we spent time together, how about I treat you to dinner?â he asked and I smiled.
âWhat if I say no?â I asked teasingly.
âIâm sure my girlfriend would not say no to her manâ he said and pecked my l*ps softly and I chuckled as I move my hands around his n*eck as we k*ssed each other hungrily. His phone rang and we broke the k*ss immediately.
âHold on, let me take thisâ he said and he walked out to take the phone call.
My mind kept racing as I tried to think of when and how to keep my eyes on Jayden, I need to be really careful because if he is involved in the terrible things happening in the pack, he would not just be a threat to my life but even my children.
I took a deep breath in and out then sat on the chair quietly wondering what exactly had prompted Aunt Maggie to sleep with her sisters husband consistently even until the manâs death. What was a motive? was it because she wanted to be pack Luna or she had something entirely different in mind.

? XAVIER POV?
âI know, I just hope everything is prepared for the date with my womanâ I said to Jayden and he chuckled..
âYou are so whipped manâ he said teasingly and I chuckled.
âFall inlove and discover just how much Rachel means to me, she completes me. How would you understand how I feel when you still havenât showed me your mystery woman ?â I teased and he laughed.
âI will inform you and make she sure I personally introduce her to you, when the time is rightâ he said and I smiled.
âThanks for standing by me, you are a friend indeedâ I said and we talked about pack. duties for a while.
âYou are taking mom out on a date? What would Derrick and I be doing at home?â Damien asked pouting cutely.
âI just need to tell mummy something very importantâ I said and they both stared at me. with eyebrows raised.
âAnd you canât tell her that in front of us? have we been bad kids?â Derrick asked. curiosity.
âNoâ¦..you guys are the sweetest thing that ever happened to your mom and Iâ I said and that made sense. Although I lost X construction, I donât know what I would have done if I lost any of my kids or even Rachel. Damien might not be my biological son but the way I feel about him is exactly the same way I feel about Derrick. We just have this strong father and son connection.
âI promise we would go on our own outing soon. But first I need to take mummy outâ I said and they screamed excitedly.
âYeahâ
I helped Rachel tuck them in bed before I made my way towards my room to get ready. When I got there she walked out of the dressing room looking breathtakingly beautiful.
âYou are staring with your mouth wide openâ she said teasingly.
âYou are worth it babyâ I said and she smiled.
âGo get ready, that is if you want us to still go outâ she said and I give a nod.

I got out after some minutes and she looked at me with a bright smile on her face.
âYou wasted time Xavierâ she said and I chuckled lighty.
âI did?â I asked and we both laughed as we made our way out of the pack house. together.

?AUTHORâS POV?
Gabrielâs house }
âYes, I have a business meeting with my clients from Texas tommorow by 8:00 AM in the morning âGabriel said to his personal assistant as he made his way down from the stairs clad and in a black sweat pants and polo shirt.
âJust make the arrangements and get back to me before tommorow morningâ he said. and gave some more instructions before cutting the call.
His mind went over to his last encounter with Rachel and he is f uckin pis sed off, he made his way into the sitting room and that is when the lights went on and off.
Gabriel looked around the sitting room suddenly getting anxious. What the hell is going on?
âMaids!â he called and no one was answering him. He took deep breaths in and out trying his best not to freak out.
The lights went totally down and when they finally camr on, he met someone sitting on the stool in his private bar while drinking from a bottle of alcohol.
âYouâ he said in shock
âGabby, Gabby, Gaby, It is been a whileâ he said and Gabriel stag gered backward a little.
âWhhhhâ¦â¦..at do you want from meâ¦.Iâ¦.â he trailed and froze when the person at the other end pointed a gun straight at his head.
âYou need to dieâ he said smirking.
