A PROMISE UNDER MOONLIGHT Chapter 12
Trying to become a third partyEmerald was so distracted all day, it was a miracle she could even get any work done. She had just gotten ready to get off work for the week when her phone rang. It was a number she had never seen before. She picked it up and a familiar voice rang from the other end.“Come down, I am waiting for you,” she heard Matthew order. His voice seemed colder than she recalled. She swallowed at his words and adjusted her mind. She must not argue. Even though he had said he would not kill her, this was a dangerous man. No, could he even be called a man? He was a dangerous being. If she made a mistake, she would get killed.“At the basement parking lot?” she asked tentatively.“Yes,” he answered and she packed her things and went down. When she arrived at the basement, she was confused and could not find his car. Just when she was beginning to get frustrated, she heard a car horn go off and she looked in that direction. She did not recognize the car, but she walk

A fight broke outSince Emerald had started, she decided to get to the very end.“You walking trash family, it is no wonder you would give birth to trash,” Emerald almost felt the need to curse.“Do you believe I will kill you right here?” When he heard his mother getting scolded, the drenched Andrew raised his hand to throw a slap but Emerald picked a tray and slapped his hand away, before slamming it into his face.“Andrew, You dare try to touch me?” she asked and slammed his face with the tray again. When the drenched woman Nina saw him get hit, she exploded in rage.“You dare hit him?” Nina attempted to throw a slap, but the heavenly stainless steel tray wasn’t done. Emerald connected the edge of the tray to her jaw and a scream broke.“Dirty bitch,” Emerald cursed. Emerald’s blood was boiling. She did not know why. For some reason, she was filled with lots of strength.At this point, the commotion in the room was being spectated through the door Emerald had slammed open when she

A Mate“Mate? Are you snow white? I should not have come to your office without an appointment to try and apologize, but that can’t be the reason I have to live with you,” she said. Emerald was frustrated. She had heard him say that they were married so much, it was annoying her.“I don’t have to be here, do I?” she asked.“Yes, you have to be. Not only do you have to be close by, you have to be close enough to touch. We will have to set some ground rules.” he said.“What do you mean close enough to touch?” she asked.“We sleep in one room,” he said.“No! Rule one, my room is off limits. You are in no circumstance allowed to be there unless I allow it,”“How can a couple sleep in different rooms?” he asked.“Move along. I am not budging on this.”“Rule two, we will have you working from home. I can come around and watch you work,” he said. She could not seem to notice that he was teasing her.“No! Rule two, while you live here, you must be quiet and cause no trouble, I hate noise,” s

A Mother-in-law “Where are you going?” he asked.“It’s morning already, are we still going to be in bed like this all day?” she asked.“Why not?” he asked back.“I am hungry, I need to use the bathroom,” she said and he let her go. She entered the bathroom to clean up quickly. By the time she walked out, she realized he was gone. This made her sigh in relief. She slowly took care of her matters before coming down. She wasn’t sure what the rule for food was.She wondered if he would let her use the kitchen. But the moment she descended to the first floor, a staff member walked over and informed her that Matthew was waiting for her in the dining room to have breakfast. She was led to the dinning where Matthew was seated waiting.“Sit and eat,” he said and she looked at the food in front of her. She had never seen this much food served as breakfast before for two people. Was someone else joining them? She wondered. She slowly took her seat and looked at all the food. She was not sur

To Marry Matthew ReevesHe could still hear her heartbeat inside the house. Once in a while, his mind would wander to her heartbeat before relaxing and continuing with work.Time passed into the afternoon and he soon heard her heartbeat approach the living room. He was greatly distracted and thought she came down for some food, but soon found she seemed to be leaving the house.“Where are you going?” he had rushed over quickly the moment he realized where she was going. There was a slight panic in his heart and he could not tell why.“I am going to visit my mother,” Emerald did not like answering him as she felt he was trying to restrict her, but she knew by now not to fight this man.“Let a driver take you,” he said. It was not a suggestion, it was an instruction. She knew that and knowing only made her more annoyed. “No, thank you, I called a taxi,” she rejected, making sure to hide her dissatisfaction. But she was not quite successful. He still noticed something when he said those

ArrestedMartha Jackson had just come out of a meeting when she was surrounded by police. She raised a brow.“Officers, what is this about?” she asked. She had already resolved the issue from last time when they were arrested at the restaurant. Why was she being arrested again?“Martha Jackson, you are under arrest for attempted abduction,” an officer said.“What? I assure you, officers, this is a misunderstanding,” Martha said. She had already handled this matter and was not sure why it was coming back to haunt her.“The men who had attempted the abduction have been caught and named you as the one who hired them,” an officer said and Martha frowned. How was this possible?Emerald though, did not get to go on a coffee date with Dr Kent. He could not find time off work.It has always been this way with him. Almost as though they could never make time.She was not sure why he wanted to see her, but she had quickly forgotten him.So, she went home early.Again, she slept with Matthew

A Coffee Date“Mom!” Emerald basically shouted.She did not know why Mr. Stone was here, but from his behavior, he knew the doctors.There was a time when she used to have a crush on him. But she soon found that he did not have any such feelings towards her. Her mother knew that she used to like him and was teasing her. She did not like this, after all, she had long moved on from her crush.Besides, she had borrowed some money from him in the past to help pay for her mother’s hospital bills and soon she found she was attracted to him.But her attraction was soon shut down when she found that he was not interested. It was severely embarrassing to her.She wondered why she was always embarrassing herself this way. She had never liked a man who liked her back. This was the same for Dr. Kent.Her crush for him was easy to kill when she found out he was dating. It did not help that she was owing him money.This contributes a lot to how she reacts with Matthew . When she recalls how obses

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

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,
