~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~I punched both of them in their stomach to stop them from fighting. The siblings flew away, a meter from my direction. I could feel my eyes change into different colors, threatening to transform to my wolf's form.“I told you both to stop fighting. You both are hard-headed!” I yelled, but nobody answered me.I turned my heads at the siblings, and they grimaced in pain, while lying on the ground. Nobody was moving, but they were still breathing.I shut my eyes, calming myself when my blood started to boil. I have to control myself, or else worse things might happen here.“Are you okay, Luna Emerald?”A wolf approached me. I nodded my head and stood straight.“Bring them to the pack doctor. They already learned their lesson.” I muttered towards the wolf.She was stunned by what I had said, but had no choice at all. At this moment, I turned away, not tempted to look at the siblings anymore.I know for a moment that they will find me to ask forgiveness for what they caused me. T
~Emerald~It was a new day in the pack and everything went back to normal. The wolves of the pack are now busy with their everyday work, while I am busy taking good care of Jacob.James is not around. He's with the warriors as they have to stroll the pack, making sure that nobody's spying on us. It's a great day for me, despite what happened last night. I tried to surround myself with positivity, as I don't want to attract negative attention because I'm with my son.We were currently outside the mansion because I planned to stroll Jacob around. My friends were there as well, and we were laughing while talking about random things when someone suddenly interrupted us.“Luna Emerald, we need your help!”I turned my head to someone who screamed. My heart skipped for a moment as I looked at her.“What's wrong?” I asked in my worried tone.The woman looked at me, her eyes filled with horror. I couldn't help but furrow my brows because of her reaction.“Someone's fighting and we couldn't sto
~Emerald~The moment Ares noticed our presence, he moved away, letting us see the dead body. I was holding my breath, while stepping my feet near it. James is next to me, and he's also looking at the body with his serious expression.“I think that body is familiar to me…” I mumbled, when I started to recognize the body on the ground.The moment I reached it, my heart suddenly stopped pounding.“It was Allison!” I gasped, seeing Allison's cold and dead body on the ground.My hands covered my mouth, looking at her. I could even feel my body start to tremble with this information. I have never imagined that I will see Allison again, but in her cold body.“F*ck.”James couldn't say anything, but a cursed word. He doesn't even expect to see Allison's cold body.At this moment, I just felt my body froze. I don't know exactly what I should feel. I felt sad for her, but when I remember all the betrayal she did to me, that certain sadness just disappeared.Her betrayal to me is still painful.
~Emerald~“Don't get us wrong, Alpha James. Luna Emerald and I were just talking. She just reminds me that I should be loyal to the pack.”Ares decided to speak up now. I know he could feel distasteful in James' expression.“I know, and I've heard my wife's last words, Ares. I need to pick my wife now. We need to eat our breakfast,” James responded.A deep breath escaped from my throat as a sign of relief after I heard James' response. I thought he's going to get mad because I talked to men. Ares and I were just talking and there's nothing else aside from that.“I need to go, Luna Emerald.” Ares replied, and he walked away from us.At this time, James turned his head at me. His expression looks dark, which made me a bit nervous.“You're not supposed to talk to Ares, Emerald. I already told you that you should stop talking to men.” He uttered, which made me stunned.Disbelief was written on my face, while looking at him.“Ares and I were just talking, James. You should not be worried a
~Emerald~After that kiss, we returned to the ball as if nothing happened earlier. It's glad that the wolves who attended the ball didn't notice something happening in the surrounding area. James made sure that Beatrice is the only enemy who entered the pack.The ball continued and at exactly midnight, everyone went home to their houses. James and I also went inside our room to rest. I tried to close my eyes and forget what happened earlier, but the words that Beatrice had said before she died keep ringing to my mind.James was already asleep beside me and because I have so many things to do tomorrow, I forced myself to sleep until I never noticed that I already fell asleep.When I woke up the next day, as usual, James was not there. He woke up early again to start his day with an exercise. I decided to finish everything I needed to do and then went out of the room. The moment I reached downstairs, I suddenly saw Ares.He looked at me with his usual aura. I suddenly froze in my direct
~Emerald~The moment James started to speak up, Beatrice's expression changed. I couldn't find the arrogance from her face, and now it was replaced by worries. She tried to hide the worries from her expression, but I'm just good at noticing it.“Whatever you do, you can't get information from me. I will never say anything, Alpha.” Beatrice muttered.James just looked at her in his blank expression. He didn't mind what Beatrice had said, but instead, he took out a gun that he kept under his shirt.I stood up straight upon seeing that and silently observed what James would do to her.“You know, I realized that it's better if we should make your death more unique. I will not use my claws to kill you, but this gun. Definitely, you will enjoy this gun. What do you think?”Beatrice swallowed hard upon hearing what James had uttered to her. Her lips became pale, her eyes filled with tears in fear. I was stunned when I saw that reaction from her. I thought she's bold.She's even laughing from
~Emerald~I was speechless from what James had told me. I thought he's going to scold me because I never informed her about Beatrice, but I was wrong. He didn't get mad, but instead, he gave me a hug.I was shocked, because I couldn't find the words to say. The embrace he's giving me now is already enough for me to understand the message. I wrapped my shaking hands on his back and closed my eyes while I enjoyed the moment that I was in his arms.“Ares and his team will go back here with Beatrice's head. I have trust in the skill of Ares. I will not put him as head of the warriors if he's nothing to prove to me.” James uttered.I nodded my head and bit the bottom of my lips to prevent myself from crying. This isn't the perfect moment to cry.“I just hope that they can have Beatrice now. I can't wait to punish that woman. She needed to pay for what she did to me.” I gritted my teeth when I said these words.James tightened his hug as if he had no plans of letting me go.“We will never s
~Emerald~I don't know what answer I should give to Cassandra. I am not prepared for that kind of question, but I need to answer it. She's waiting for a response from me.“Don't get me wrong, Em. I'm just concerned for the both of you. I know that there were times before that both of you were tested, but you both fixed it. However, we can't deny that there are still enemies out there, waiting for the downfall of both of you. I know that the best weapon they could use to make sure you and James will hate each other is through your relationship…”I understand what Cassandra meant, and it's true. We have been tested by our trust since the beginning, but James and I were able to fix it. We did fix our problems and never let the enemies succeed with their plans.I think we will still do the same thing. If someone dared to destroy our marriage and trust with each other, we will try fixing it again.“If there's one thing I am so sure of, Cass…” I paused to take a deep breath. “It's about not
~Emerald~Just before James could react, I took a glass of champagne that the staff served. James shook his head when he saw what I did.I never hesitated to drink the glass of champagne to stop James from getting disappointed. I admit that I made a mistake earlier about thinking of knowing Ares' background.That man just captured my curiosity and I realized that I shouldn't be minding him. I should stop this curiosity out of my head and just hold on to the fact that Ares is Levi's brother. He is trustworthy and Levi wouldn't agree if he knows his brother is not trustworthy at all.“You're not drinking, Emerald.”James took the glass from me, which made me pouted.“Why not? I'm thirsty, James…” I complained, but he just shook his head.“I don't want you to drink because that's not good for your health. You will carry our second child, remember?”I suddenly blushed from what James had uttered to me. I never expected him to say this, so I looked away.But, the moment I turned my eyes to
