~Emerald~I could still hear Selene's screams and cursed at the back from what I did to her. She can't accept the fact that a weak wolf like me will bite her arm. I don't want to do it with her but she pushed me to limits. She attacked me first and I just did what I was supposed to do to protect myself.“I can't believe the reaction from her face when I bit her, Emerald!” Lilian uttered while laughing. I shook my head, my lips curled.“I was even surprised that we did it with her, knowing that she was the head warrior of Gideon's men.” I uttered towards Lilian.She continued laughing, still can't believe what we did. I walked straight to my cabin where Cassandra was. My heart almost melted when I saw my child, Jacob in his crib with Cassandra beside him. Cassandra lifted her head and placed a smile on her lips.“How's the training, Emerald?” Cassandra looked at me while smiling.I forced a smile and walked towards my son's direction. He was sleeping, and I couldn't stop looking at J
~Gideon~“Why do you have to do this to me, Gideon!?”I closed the book that I was reading about dark magic just to look at the woman who just arrived inside my office. My brows were furrowed when I saw Selene, her eyes covered with tears.She was crying like a weak bullsh*t. I rose from sitting to face her, my arms were crossed.“You dared to hurt Emerald, remember?” I asked in my cold tone. Selene messed up her hair out of distressed. I can't stop shaking my head while looking at her. “It's because she was trying to take you from me. You promised me, Gideon, that you will make me your Luna. You told me that you will marry me if I do what you want!” Selene growled.I shook my head in disbelief, not taking my eyes off her. I can't imagine she can still remember the things that I promised to her a year ago. It's supposed to be forgotten because things have changed now. My plans from a year ago had already changed when Emerald came into my life.“I didn't mean it, Selene. None of it
~James~My eyes darkened when I saw someone coming in our direction. My wolf wanted to take over to attack him, but I did my best to control it. This is not the right time for an attack. I came here to talk to Gideon at peace, but if he tried to attack me, then I will not back off. ‘Are you really sure with your plans, James?’ Logan asked at the back of my head. I could feel my lips curled, my eyes in Gideon's direction. He is coming to me with his men beside him. I am glad that his beta follows orders from the Alpha King.‘There is no turning back, Logan. I will take my wife from him and I will not leave, not until I bring her with me.’My wolf had no choice but to let out a sigh. He can't do anything to stop me with my plans. I was the one who can decide, and he has to follow me.“He's coming near us, James.”I turned my head at Levi. He moved closer to me, as well as my other men at the back. I know they are trying to protect me, but there's nothing to fear. Alpha Gideon is a sma
~James~My head tilted towards Gideon. I stared at him straight in the eyes to see if he meant the words he uttered a while ago.My jaw tightened as I continued looking at him. It took me a minute before I was able to understand what he meant.“What did you just say, Gideon?” I asked in my warning tone. Gideon shook his head as if he couldn't believe to see my reaction. I know what he said, but I wanted to know if he was serious about it.“I know you have a sharp mind, James. You know what I mean, and we are talking about Emerald here. The woman you dumped like garbage just because of your fated mate. The woman whose life became terrible because of you. The woman… I took away from the forest to give her shelter, to give her a new hope, and to let her know that somebody still cares for her.”I was stunned. I never expected to hear all of these from Gideon, the demon wolf that everyone knew. If what he said was true that he took Emerald from the forest, there could be a payment for it.
~Emerald~“Everyone, prepare!”The demanding voice of the new head warrior suddenly echoes through my head. My attention turned to her and did what she said.Three days had already passed when Gideon assigned a new head warrior to train us. She's bold, fierce, strong, and professional unlike Selene. Her dedication towards her works helped all the newbies to catch up everything she wanted us to learn. I had learned a lot from her within three days during her leadership. There was already an improvement to me. I can feel it deep inside. I can tell it the way I moved. The Emerald who was known as weak she-wolf was getting bolder now. ‘You should take a rest, Emerald,’ Lilian uttered at the back of my head. I immediately shook my head to disagree. Resting is not in my vocabulary. I have to work hard to learn basic attacks, so I would have a skill to use if ever enemies would try to kill me. ‘I needed this, Lilian. I should not always depend on you. You are not always strong, especiall
~Emerald~“You won't believe who's here!”“Oh, I heard that. I actually saw him earlier!”“I still can't believe that he was actually here in our pack. Alpha Gideon let him come here.” My heartbeat raced when I heard these words from the group of wolves I met on the way. They stopped talking when they noticed my presence that made my brows furrowed.I shook my head and continued walking. Alpha Gideon has a visitor and based on how the wolves described him, I know the visitor is not ordinary. He was powerful and important, and it's no longer my concern.I have no right to know who that visitor is and as long as my son and I are safe, that's all that matters to me the most.“I felt something unusual with that visitor thing, Emerald,” Lilian uttered.I stopped walking, my heart pounding so fast again. Lilian's instinct is strong. If she said something is wrong, there might be a possibility that it's true. I also could feel it just the way those wolves described the visitor.There were m
~Emerald~“What the f*ck are you doing here, James!?”I could no longer control myself anymore. My teeth gritted as I was screaming at James' direction. I didn't need to find him because I already found him on the field, talking to Gideon's beta.He turned his head at me, shocked written on his face. His mouth opened up, but I couldn't hear what he said because my mind and my heart were covered with my anger at him. Words would never be enough to describe how much I wanted to end his life. James, did many things to me in the past and killing him was in my mind at this point. Just before his men could stop me, I ran in his direction while holding the kitchen knife so tightly. No one expected me to come over to James. I used my knife to hit him in his left stomach. James didn't expect it and before he could stop me, I already stabbed him. My wolf, Lilian, wanted to take over, but I told her I can handle everything. His men came over and they captured me. They took the knife from my ha
~Emerald~I could feel my eyes darkening while looking at the man who ruined my life a year ago. A man who made my life terrible. The man who dared to risk my life and had the guts to abandon his child. I couldn't believe he had the face to show up with me.It's been a year ago. A year when I lived in darkness. A year full of tears, what ifs, and anger. Alpha James made my life almost like hell and I will never forgive him for that. No matter what he will do, the pain in my heart will never go away.I was gritting my teeth when I looked him straight in his eyes. “How could you say these things to me?”The look he was giving me was filled with regret. I can see it from his eyes. I can feel it from how he speaks to me, but it's already too late. He hurt me already. He ruined my life already and the life I was supposed to give to my son. James would never have me back, despite his efforts.“Emerald, you have to believe me. I mean the words that I had mentioned a while ago. Trust me, I wi
~Emerald~My head suddenly ached when I pushed myself to remember it. I don't understand anything about my reason for pushing myself to remember Alpha Casper. The more I stared at him, it felt like I could recognize him.“What's wrong, Luna Emerald?” Casper asked, making me stunned.I turned my head at James, and he looked bothered by what I acted. I gulped a little, while shaking my head.“Nothing's wrong, Alpha Casper. I just felt dizzy after my vision showed me something earlier,” I responded, and he nodded his head.Even though he has already gotten a response to me, it doesn't prevent him from looking at me. James suddenly wrapped his hand around my waist and because of that, I diverted my attention back to him.“Are you alright?” He asked, almost whispering.I let out a deep and heavy breath before responding to him.“I'm fine, don't worry.” I responded, and he nodded his head.At this point, James faces them back. He asked them to rest for a moment and will resume the conversat
~James~I turned back my head at Alpha Sebastian, and now he's busy playing with Jacob. The smile on his face as he held his grandson made me feel a wave of happiness. Never did I imagine that he would still meet his grandson. Alpha Sebastian survived his kidnappers, and now he's back to us.“Emerald.”I was back to my senses when I heard James' voice. He was already at the back, looking at me in his furrowed brows.“J-James…” I stuttered when I remembered what his father told me earlier.After I realized everything that Alpha Sebastian had told me, I confirmed that he really has a sickness. I have this feeling that he's enduring something deep inside and this worries me.I don't know how to tell James. Alpha Sebastian asked me earlier that I should not tell his son about it, but my conscience can't.“I saw you talking to dad. What did he say?” He asked me.I gasped as these words escaped from his mouth. I took a glance at Alpha Sebastian, and he's still busy playing with Jacob.A dee
~Emerald~It seemed like my breath froze as I looked at Alpha Sebastian. His eyes seem difficult to read and with that, I realized, James is like his dad. I wouldn't be surprised where he has gotten his personality.“I-It was my honor to meet you, Alpha Sebastian. I am so happy that you are finally reunited with James. You have no idea how he wanted to see you.” I responded, my voice almost cracked.I got nervous with his presence. I've never had the chance to speak to him before, and I was worried that he might not like me knowing that he heard numerous things about me.“I couldn't imagine the pain he went through all these years without me. I made a horrible mistake of trusting somebody, which causes more trouble, Emerald,” Alpha Sebastian uttered, making me stunned.These are not the words I have expected to hear from him. I thought he's going to say mean things to me, but then I was surprised. Alpha Sebastian started talking to me about what he did.‘This is a good sign that his f
~Emerald~“I don't want to say this, Alpha James, but we helped your father because we wanted you to help us back…”I couldn't help but sneered as these words escaped from Alpha Casper. My impression of them started to disappear when he began to admit their real purpose of helping Alpha Sebastian.“What help do you want from us, Alpha Casper?” James asked, his brows furrowed while looking at him.“We found out that you're dealing with Gideon. He killed our parents when we were still young.” Casper replied.I stood up straight when I heard Casper's response. The annoyance in my heart disappeared when I heard his side and my heart tightened upon finding out that Gideon's name was mentioned again.That Alpha was truly a pain in the ass. So many wolves wanted him dead, but nobody could kill him instead of James.“They already told me about what happened to their parents, James. Gideon killed them, and they wanted to help us beat him.” Alpha Sebastian interrupted.James nodded his head. Hi
~Emerald~‘Let's go back, Emerald. It's too dangerous for you to follow James!’Lilian was doing her best to convinced to go back to where others were. We are already running in the woods hoping to find James. I don't know where he ran. James' reflexes were far too fast.Therefore, I decided to stop breathing. I was chasing my breath, my hands were both on my knees.“Where are you, James?” I mumbled, while narrowing my eyes around the area.The trees in this area were so tall that the moon was not enough to light the way. It was so dark and there was no hint of somebody roaming around.But a minute later, I was stunned in my direction when I heard a voice from the back.“They're gone.”I was about to attack him when he immediately stopped my hand before it landed on him. My brows furrowed when I saw James.“James?” I muttered, while looking at him carefully.I just wanted to make sure that it was James and not a shape-shifter. The way his brows furrowed while looking at me, and the co
~Emerald~After changing our clothes, James and I decided to leave. We checked the situation of the pack and confirmed that we are already safe from the shape-shifters. I also have the chance to talk to Cassandra about taking good care of James as we are about to leave to attack the place of the shape-shifters.At this moment, we are only waiting for any information about Christopher, and then he finally arrived after an hour. Katie immediately approached him, making me smile.This woman has fallen deeply to Christopher. I could still remember her anger at Christopher before.“What are you smiling at?”I was stunned when I heard James speak at the back. When I turned around, I saw him furrowing his brows.“Nothing.” I replied curtly, and it made him chuckle.He took my hands and pressed it while looking at me straight in my eyes. As he does that, I also can't avoid looking at him.“And now that we know the hideout of the shape-shifters, we are going to get rid of them. I just want you
~Emerald~As I stood up from the couch, James did the same thing. He stopped me by holding my hand, taking out a deep and heavy sigh.“I wasn't hiding anything from you, Emerald. I just have to hide it because we're still in the field. The plan will be destroyed. Levi just told me about it. They planned it when they were still hostages of the shape-shifters.” James explained to me, his facial expression looks convincing.I let out a sigh and now calmed down. These explanations from him were already enough for me to believe him. It was Levi and Christopher's plan after all.“I just don't want you to hide anything from me, James. I need to know everything you planned.” I muttered, and he smiled.“I promised I will give you everything.”I smiled at James, and he grabbed my waist. He's about to kiss me when someone interrupts our moment.“Alpha James, we have visitors.” Levi said, which made me look at him confused.“Visitors?” I mumbled, and Levi turned his attention to me.“It was the h
~Emerald~“I will kill you, Asshole!”I climbed to his direction and never hesitated to attack the shape-shifter, which is Stella's son. His mother did horrible things to us. She used a spell on James and I lost my child because of how she controlled my husband's mind to hurt me.My heart was covered with anger and as I attacked him, I felt very satisfied. I wanted to kill him right now and right here, but James stopped me. He never allowed me to finish his life because he was still useful to our plan of saving Christopher. The Moon Goddess knew how much I wanted to end his life, but I still consider James' request. We still have to save Christopher and if we killed this idiot, we can't rescue him anymore.“Baby, you have to calm down. Don't let your emotions overpower you. I know how you wanted to kill him and that's what I felt now, but I have to control myself. I would be satisfied if we could kill them all at once. Don't you want that?” As James whispered these words to me, I ca
~Emerald~As James uttered these words to me, I can't help but to narrow my eyes to the surroundings. I was trying to find out whom he meant.“I-I thought we already killed all the shape-shifters,” I mumbled in my low tone. James turned his head at me and sighs.“Nah, we didn't. There were still some shape-shifters, but we will make sure to end them as soon as possible. I was so mad at them. They are the reason for your miscarriage and I will make sure to burn them in hell!” James blurted in his cold tone. Every word he let out, I could feel his rage at them. I know he's so mad at what happened to him. A shape-shifter did use a spell on him knowing that he's an Alpha King, and he won't allow that he couldn't punish them.“What should we do now?” I asked, making sure that no one would hear us.James stared at me, and then the left corner of his lips lifted. I gulped from what he did, while my heart pounded so fast.“I will handle them.” He replied curtly.I furrowed my brows and aske
