A PROMISE UNDER MOONLIGHT CHAPTER 19
JealousyHis eyes made her adjust in her seat. She scrambled for what to say.“I just think calling someone sweet is odd. People can’t be seen as sweet.”“Why not?” he asked, “People are called sweet all the time,” he protested.“Alright. Call people whatever you like. I can’t understand it anyway,” she said, taking another bite of her cake.“Why not?” he asked, then pointed at his coffee, “Sweet,” then at his cake, “Sweet,” then at Emerald, “Sweet,” he said and she found herself speechless. “See? That wasn’t hard,” he took a sip of his coffee.“Is that so…” Emerald laughed awkwardly, “It is odd to be compared to food. It is not as though people can be eaten,” she said. She did not understand what this conversation was even about.“They could,” he said, the mirth in his eyes, telling her he was joking, but she could swear she saw something else when he said that. His words caused Emerald to pause mid swallow. She was confused. Why did she feel that he was flirting with her since he

To be his mate“Why would I hurt you?” he asked and she slowly calmed down.“You need to understand, my emotions are all over the place because of this bond. I am trying my best not to lose control, so don’t test me,” he stared deeply into her eyes.“Did you go anywhere else?” he asked. Emerald thought that his words made sense. He was already a very dangerous person. Even Though he promised not to hurt her, there was no need for her to annoy him to the point of him losing control.“Yes, I had coffee with a friend,” Emerald answered.“A friend?” he scoffed, stabbing into his plate of food with his fork. Emerald remained frozen for a bit, before she ignored him and continued eating. The dining room descended into silence again. Emerald thought she was done for the night and he was merely agitated and would finally drop the topic, but he spoke again.“Do you always have coffee with this friend when you visit your mother?” he asked and Emerald felt her appetite vanish.“I will not ask wh

His WifeMatthew woke up early the next morning. He was glad that it was a weekend, so he had time to spend with Emerald. But he received a call from the family home asking for him. He had no intention of traveling that far, so he got out of bed and entered his office to take the meeting online.Before the meeting started, he recalled that he had to transfer a butler over and took out his phone to make a call.“Sir,” he heard Mr. Martin answer.“Are you back from your holiday, Fin?” Matthew asked.“Yes, Sir,” Mr. Martin answered.“pack your bags. You will not be serving the main mansion anymore,” he said.“Where will I be serving, sir?” Mr. Martin asked.“You will be serving at the Hill Mansion, where my wife is living,” he said and there was a pause o y he other end.“Congratulations, sir,” Mr. Martin said.“Thank you,” Matthew answered with a smile.“I am about to go in for a meeting. When you arrive, make sure she gets what she wants,” Matthew ordered.“Yes sir,” Mr. Martin answ

HeartbreakApril had gone away when the meeting started and returned when she got a signal from her godfather that the meeting was ending. She had dashed into the room to see Matthew leaving on screen.“I have not seen you in a while, I have been trying to meet you for a while now,” she said, but was met with silence. This made the rest in the room feel awkward. April had been traveling and had just returned. Many guessed that she did not know that Matthew was already bound to a mate.This made many very embarrassed.“I wonder if you could leave instructions to your home allowing me to come over,” she asked with a slightly shy expression. When Matthew heard what she said he looked at her blankly. He did not understand why this woman would not give up. She was stubborn but it did not look as cute as when his Emerald did it. “Why should I allow you to visit me? If I remember correctly, your father is the kind to dote on you and would lose his mind if you died. My mate has a temper. If

The Harts In TroubleOn the other side of the city, Andrew Woods coughed a mouthful of blood as he sat up from a bathtub mid bath. He could barely breathe.He tumbled and fell so hard that the sound made it his way out of the room.Several of his men were around him trying to get him out of the tub when they saw him vomit blood. “Young Master!” someone screamed when they saw the blood and he was hurriedly carried to the bedroom. He seemed to be shivering as though having a fever, so they placed a heavy blanket on him. An Elderly woman rushed out and came to his side. When she saw the blotches of blood, she yelped slightly.“What is happening? Why is he bleeding?” she asked. But before she could get a response, an older woman hurried over.“Why all the commotion?” She scolded everyone in the room. But when she saw Andrew on the bed, she panicked. She noticed his pale face and the blood on the sheets and asked what happened.“The young master was bathing for quite a while, so I called

A werewolf bloodlineSarah froze under everyone’s stare.“Who modified the spell?” Cassidy asked and everyone looked around.“Jack was in charge of setting up the ceremony,” someone said.“Call him over!” Cassidy ordered and Jack was soon brought in. From the look on his face, it was sure that he was confused as to why he was there. Jack’s mother hurriedly went to his side, but was quickly stopped by her husband. His mother’s reaction made Jack understand that something was wrong.“Clan head,” Jack greeted.“Were you the one in charge of the ceremony to bind the Meadow young master, Andrew, to Emerald?” Cassidy asked and he nodded at first then paused.“Wait, Bind her to him? But, Emerald is married,” he said and many people sucked in a breath.“You know this?” Cassidy asked.“Yes, Sarah and I researched her and we received information that she is married,” Jack explained.“Then why did you prepare a ceremony to bind her to a mate if you knew she was married?” Cassidy asked and Jack

Drama at workMatthew left her to rest while he saw the rest off.For the rest of the day, she did not leave her room as she was working. She finished her work early enough and decided to rest for a bit, when Matthew knocked on her door.“Baby?” he called and her eyes almost popped from her sockets.“What did you call me?” she asked as he walked into the room.“I already said you are my wife. Of course I can call you this,” he said and she blinked in confusion. “What wife? What if someone hears and talks?” she asked incredulously.“I have decided that I will try hard to stay sane this month. To do this, I will do what I please. This way, I will get less angry and we will not be fighting every moment. Just get used to it,” he said and approached the chair by the corner to sit down.“We will need to live together for up to two months, we need to come to an agreement that will help me calm down,” he said.“What about what I said? I told you it could get leaked if you start calling me we

Injured.The next moment, the head of HR matched into their department with security.“Her. Throw her out!” the bald man said, pointing at Emerald.The security walked her way and asked her to leave.“Why?” Emerald asked.“You dare ask why?” the Head of HR, Mr. Vincent asked. One could tell he was angry from the veins running up his scalp.“Of course,” Emerald asked.“You are fired!” he said.“HR has the right to fire my employee?” The person who had spoken this time was Emerald’s boss.“Yes. If they cause trouble for the company,” he said and the security started moving Emerald’s things. Emerald stood aside as she called the police.“Hurry up with her things!” The head of HR, Dan Hamilton scolded the guards, which irritated them.“There is no need to rush. I have already called the police,” Emerald said.“What for?” Dan scoffed.“For wrongful and forceful termination. They are only here to be witnesses for when I sue the company. I figured, the police are good witnesses.” Emerald sa

A Red Wolf Though the leaders escaped, along with a few others, one by one, the others fell. The forest was stained with the dark hue of blood and smelled of raw flesh when they were done. Some were captured, their limbs bound by glowing restraints woven from a magical tool made specifically to capture witches. Some were captured to be interrogated by Amanda, while other luckier ones died on those forest grounds. As the last of the witches fell, Amanda surveyed the aftermath, her eyes taking in the scene with a lot of satisfaction. “Take them to my torture room,” She handed over the guide for the restraints binding the captured witches, allowing her wolves to drag them forward for interrogation. She was sure that with a little help, their tongues would loosen. When the battle against the witches stopped, Matthew turned his attention to Emerald. He could sense her distress, her heartbeat was pounding so loud it scared him. The shock of witnessing such carnage and violence

Retreat As Nyx moved to stand protectively beside Emerald, the witches’ eyes widened in shock, their gazes fixated on the woman. How did she wake up so quickly? They heard she would be out for a few months. They even sent one of their own to place her under a spell so that she sleeps longer. “How has she recovered so quickly?” one of them hissed, their words dripping with suspicion. They had heard that werewolves shared their healing properties with their mates, but they did not think she would recover that easily. What in the devil’s name was going on? Matthew’s form rose, his muscles tensing as a low growl rumbled from deep within his chest. “Did you order the attack on Emerald?” he demanded, his eyes were darker than usual and His bloodlust filled the air. The witches remained silent, their lips pressed into thin lines as they refused to answer his question. Matthew’s anger flared, the dense bloodlust radiating from his powerful form almost choking them. He just attack

The first Wave of Attacks.With those inside in danger, those outside wolves wasted no time in springing into action. Usually their kind involved the strongest surviving and would not usually help one another. But as it looks, if they look away, they will lose more than half the packs in existence.They surged forward, their powerful forms disappearing through the shimmering portal that led to the Shadow realm. If a person listens closely, they could hear a chorus of snarls and howls erupted from the other side of the shadow realm gate, signaling the commencement of a fierce battle.Inside the shadow realm, it was pure chaos.Towering creatures appeared with a ferocious speed that tore through the werewolves’ defenses. The werewolves fought valiantly, moving with lightning speed, their jaws snapping and claws slashing as they engaged these ancient beings in combat. The Stillwater family came together and led the charge with their imposing figure at the forefront of the fray. "Prot

The Hunt"This hunt is not merely a test of strength or prowess," the elder explained. "It is a rite of passage for some, a chance to evolve for others, but whatever it may be, pure glory awaits those who hunt the best."The wolves howled and cheered at the elder’s words."Within the Ancient Land, there dwells many creatures." The elder continued and silence returned "Massive, fearsome beast that will test not only your physical strength but your mental strength too.Your task is to hunt and bring back the largest game they can find. Bring their essence stored in their hearts."A shiver ran down Emerald's spine at her words but the young wolves seemed undaunted, their eyes alight with a mixture of excitement and determination."The only rule in the hunt is to return alive,” she said solemnly and silence returned.“Some of you will die in the shadow realm. When you step through that door, you stand alone,” the elder concluded, her voice solemn. "I wish you all a great hunt. May the bes

Preparations.The meeting went on for a while after that. The date for the hunt was set and many things prepared.By the time Matthew returned to his room, the sun had long since risen high in the sky. He found Emerald coming out from the side bathroom, her hair damp and her skin flushed from the heat of her bath.Without a word, he crossed the room and pulled her into a fierce embrace, burying his face in the crook of her neck as he inhaled her comforting scent. Emerald tensed momentarily, surprised by his sudden display of affection, but soon relaxed into his embrace, her arms winding around his broad shoulders. She was sure irritated a lot these days as she was tired, but she was always calmed when she was in Matthew’s arms.They stood like that for several heartbeats, before Matthew finally pulled back, his eyes drinking in every detail of her face as if committing it to memory. Emerald thought that he sure was clingy. But for Matthew, he had only stepped out but it felt like

A forced vote.Matthew’s eyes flashed with a thought when he heard his father-in-law’s words.He thought back to the woman sleeping in his quarters, whose hair was slowly going red.“One problem at a time. For now, we should hear what the other families have to say to call for an assembly,” Matthew said with a smile hidden in his eyes.“But who called for one?” Nyx asked and they stepped out to look at the runes in the sky. A glowing symbol floating above.“The Taylor family? Who?” an elder asked.“They are that family rumored to also be of Stoneheart bloodline,” Harold said and everyone had many thoughts in their head.“Things are about to get interesting,” Matthew said with a smile.They all made their way to the white halls.The white halls were a grand gathering place for all the great families. This was considered the seat of power where they all gathered and made the decisions of the ancient land. It was still dark, but the white marble walls still reflected light, almost glow

The MeetingThe moment the Stillwater family entered the ancient land, a large wolf call started.Emerald jolted awake, her eyes snapping open as the distant howls of wolves pierced the early morning silence. Beside her, Matthew stirred, his muscular arms stretching under the sheets as he too woke up the moment she did."It's alright," he murmured, his voice still thick with sleep. "Go back to sleep. It's just the wolf's call."Emerald frowned, her brow furrowing as she tried to make sense of his words. "Wolf's call? What's that?"Matthew propped himself up on one elbow, his eyes glinting in the dim moonlight filtering through the curtains. "It's a tradition among my kind," he explained patiently. "The wolves gather in the forest and howl, marking their territory and warning others of their presence. A family has probably just arrived."Emerald nodded slowly, but she was still uneasy and could not sleep. "I don't think I can sleep anymore," she admitted sheepishly.A smile made its w

The Witch CouncilThe red robed group appeared in another forest. “Check for werewolves,” Kendal instructed her subordinate and the young woman started a spell to check if there were werewolves in the vicinity.Without another word, she turned and strode back towards the clearing, the hooded figure following her reluctantly. He desperately wanted to catch as many young wolves from the Stillwater family as possible and break their necks but they left quickly so he would have to hold it in.As they made another stone altar, the others were waiting, their faces looking as though they had words at the tip of their tongues but held it in. Jay stepped forward, his eyes narrowing as he took in the scene before them."What happened?" Jay demanded, his gaze flickering between Kendal and the bloodied figure.“One of the werewolves could not control themselves," she replied with disdain.This is why she did not want to work with werewolves. Sure those werewolves who came to their side held gr

The Last great familyFar away, in the Stillwater family, the young wolves were holding a morning call. Intruders.In the early hours of the morning, while the moon was still high in the sky, when the forest was cloaked in darkness, the young wolves wandered the forest. They were only of the last families to leave for the ancient land. They were quite dissatisfied with how things had taken true. They were the ones to host the hunt this year. There were benefits to being the host, but when it was their turn, the Reeves family proposed moving to the ancient land. They were not so quick to comply. That morning, their young wolves ventured into the forest to do their morning call. Unknown to them, they were not the only ones there.Hooded figures emerged from the shadows. Their movements were stealthy, footsteps muffled by the damp undergrowth as they moved deeper into the heart of the forest behind the Stillwater family mansion.These mysterious individuals carried shovels and tools,
