Chapter 58
??EMERALD POV??
Xavier stared at me quietly as I made my way over to him, we stared at each other as the brightness from the moon is centered on us.
“Is everything okay XAVIER, talk to me…you know am always here” I said and he just stared at me with his blood shot eyes.
“Emerald” he said and I sucked under my breath.
“What are you saying XAVIER, I thought we talked about this? you are not supposed to call me the name of your ex” I said trying to get away from his grip.
“Why do I keep having this feeling like I know you, I try to believe you are Rachel and not Emerald but my heart keeps saying different things lately. I don’t even know if I can trust you anymore” he said and I raised my eyebrows.
“Excuse me!” I bursted angrily but deep down I was literally freaking out.
“If you loved her that much why don’t you go look for her!” I said raising my voice furiously.
“Everything scares me lately, the fear of failure and….now I feel like things are getting worse every single day” he said and I wouldn’t have heard him if I wasn’t standing so close to his, Xavier looks destroyed.
“I am sorry I called you Emerald, maybe am just overthinking things” he said and I gave a nod.
“Everything is going to be okay” I said and pulled him into my arms as he hugged me emotionally. The fact that he was being vunerable in front of me made me feel very guilty.
We got out of the water and sat on the grass like old times as we stared into the waters.
“What is on your mind?” I asked when I noticed he was very quiet.
“Time flys so fast” he said and I raised my eyebrows..
“Hey….” I said holding his hand, and his voice broke down at the edge as I noticed he was crying on the inside.
“I feel so confused right now Rachel, I don’t know if I made the right decisions in life. Thinking about it now, what if everything I have considered the truth in my life so far was a blatant lie?” he asked and I just stared at him sadly.
Chapter 58
“You are being too hard on yourself, maybe we should go home and spend sometime with the kids, it would help” I said and he stood up with a small smile playing on his l*ps.
“You are a sweetheart” he said and I smiled as we walked back to the pack house together.
“Welcome Alpha Xavier” Jayden greeted us as we walked in.
“Thank you Jayden” he said and walked in front then straight upstairs.
“Is he okay?” Aunt Maggie asked with a worried expression on her face and for some reason, I just didn’t trust her emotions. Maybe I should keep an eye on her, nob*dy is to be trusted in this pack if she was capable of hurting my son then she is capable of doing anything.
“Mummy” the kids said as they ran into my arms excitedly.
“Hey babies, how are you doing?” I asked and Derrick looked around.
“Fine mummy” Damien said and I turned my attention to Derrick.
“Is everything okay Kiddo?” I asked and he shook is head.
“Wanna talk about it ?” I asked and he sighed softly.
“Where is my Daddy Rachel ? is he okay now I heard his company building got burnt to the ground” Derrick said, and guilt watched over me immediately.
“Your daddy is okay” I said and he shook his head.
“Daddy loves to work, and since the company got burnt to the ground, that means he lost everything” he said sadly and I shook my head.
“Daddy is the Alpha okay, he is a strong man and all we have to do is be there for him as his family okay” I said and they both give nods in agreement./
“Can we see Daddy now please” he said and Damien gave me puppy eyes.
“Just let them go to him Rachel, that might help” Aunt Maggie said and I give a nod as I ushered them towards Xavier’s room.
When we got into the room he had changed his clothes into dry ones and was just sitting on the bed quietly.
“Hey Daddy” Derrick said as he hugged him Damien stood quietly and when Xavier’s eyes moved over to him he gestured him to come over, he walked over to him and he carried the boys on his laps while I went into the bathroom to change into something

dry and more comfortable.
I walked back to the room and the guys where on the bed laughing, I stood there watching them with a smile on my face as my eyes stung with tears. Can I event continue with the revenge? hurting Xavier today felt like I was hurting my own self. He is on his way to bankruptcy and I couldn’t stare at him in this state, how do I stand high when I bring him to his end?
“Come over mummy, daddy is telling about his best childhood memories!” Damien said excitedly and I chuckled as I walked over to them and sat on the bed.
“You know what, let me get you guys snacks while we enjoy the story” I said and they nodded excitedly.

“Have you talked to her ?” Blake asked Gabriel Fernandez as he sat on the opposite.
chair.
“Rachel might act all tough, but she has a soft spot for Xavier and that is what pis ses me off the most. We are supposed to work without emotions” he said angrily.
She has two children for Xavier and he used to be her mate from the moon goddess, it is possible that it will take time for her to get over him, no matter what he did to her in the past” Blake said calmly.
“Can you even hear yourself man? It’s been five years, Five good years. If she can’t get over him now when will she get over him?” Gabriel asked with hatred dripping out of
his words.
“Besides, you need to be gentle with her. You can’t win her heart by constantly showing how much you hate Xavier, that approach will not work” Blake advised and Gabriel scoffed angrily.
“You are the last person on earth who’s advice I will listen to” he said and Blake’s eyes. clouded with hurt.
“I might have made a lot of mistakes and hidden a lot of secrets but, I am not a bad person” Blake said and Gabriel laughed bitterly.
“You are a bad person Blake, if given the opportunity am pretty sure you would have done wors

“I will not let you compare me to that bas tard!” Blake bursted angrily

for good years, in her eyes you are a good man. What a pity” Gabriel said and Blake. took a deep breath in and out.
“Gabriel the situation was something I couldn’t handle…” Blake trailed.
“Blake you dated her mom for years according to you, the moon goddess paired you together as mates but, then you ran away with a richer woman and she died from the heartbreak. Yet when you came back after ripping that rich woman from every single dime she had, you took Emerald from Xavier’s pack, gave her a new life after making her believe that bull sh it story. You are playing the victim card
he said and Blake’s heart squeezed in hurt.
“I had to do what needed to be done. You of all people should know I needed an heir Gabriel, please” he said and Blake ran his fingers in his hair.
“Rachel should never hear about this Gabriel, I promise to make sure everything goes. in your favor” he said anxiously while Gabriel Fernandez smoked from the pipe in his hand.
“I love Rachel Blake, I love her so much that it hurts me to see she still cares about Xavier that much. I want to kill that man with my bare hands” he said and Blake just stared at him calmly.
Maybe it was a bad idea letting Gabriel know about his secrets, the guy was now using it against him.
“We would talk later Gabriel said and made his way out of Blake’s office, Blake sighed in frustration as he ran his fingers in his hair.
“Is everything okay?” he heard her voice and turned immediately with a smile on his
face.
“Yes babe, of course everything is okay” he said to Penny as they exchanged cheek. k*sses.
“I could hear noises from your office” she said and Blake took a deep breath in and out.
“It is nothing serious, just a minor conversation between Gabriel and I” he said and she raised her eyebrows in question.
“Are you sure?” she asked worriedly.
“Penny you know I would never hide anything from you” he said and she walked into his arms. He ran his fingers in her silky hair with just one thing running through his mind, Gabriel Fernandez has to be out of the game if he wants to keep his d*rty secrets.
The man had to die.
