~Emerald~I was so disappointed because I haven't found him. My heart was still hoping that he's alive, and he will come back for us. I still can't accept his death even though months have passed already.“Let's go back to the table,” Calvin arrived, holding my hand. I looked at him and I couldn't stop rolling my eyes. “Let me go!” Calvin sighed, and followed me. His eyes were still staring at me as if he's trying to read my reaction. I just hope that he won't notice that I was crying earlier. “You're still hoping to see him, aren't you?” Calvin uttered, which made me gasp. A smile of bitterness formed on my lips as I looked at him and said, “It's no longer needed. James is dead and there's no way he would come back to me.”I walked away and returned to our table. Calvin followed me there. He occupied the empty seat in front of me. “What if Alpha James is alive?” My mouth widened from what Calvin had told me. I could feel my heart pounding so fast, a flash of hope appeared in my
~Emerald~We are on our way back to the pack. Gideon will be staying in the pack to where the gathering was held. He asked Calvin to bring me home, and we grabbed this opportunity to meet his colleagues. I just can't wait to meet them and see if we could fight back against Gideon.“I know they can't wait to meet you, Emerald. Those warriors are loyal to Alpha James, and they still consider him as the Alpha King. They hated Gideon and the way he ruled the pack,” Calvin explained to me, so I nodded my head to him. My eyes were at the window while listening to Calvin. I took out a deep breath, turning my head to him.“Are you not worried that Gideon might find out what you're doing?” I asked, confusion was written on my face. He let out a sigh without glancing at me.“Yes, I am, but this is not me, Emerald. I am not a traitor. If it's really not because of my sister, I would never have followed him. James is my Alpha King and I will only work for him.” I looked at Calvin trying my bes
~Emerald~I look closely to the warriors that Calvin has been recruited to join us in a battle against Gideon. My head tilted above, a smile formed on my lips.“Gideon still has a lot of his men, especially his armies. If we can convince half of them, I know that we have the chance to win the battle, but…” I paused, still looking at them. “We still have to work closely on how we are going to beat Gideon, but I'll work on that.” The warriors stared at each other for a moment before they nodded their heads to agree with me. “Don't worry, Luna Emerald. We will do our best to find more alliances to join our team. If we have many armies, Gideon couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't fight all of us together because we are just one!”I nodded my head towards them. It's really great that I met them. Knowing that I already have an alliance against Gideon, rays of hope appear in my heart. I know that I will get justice for James soon. “I will make sure to use my position to convince the
~Emerald~I woke up early in the morning not because of my will, but because of Cassandra's continuous knock at the door. I glance at Jacob, and he's still sleeping in his crib, so I open the door and Cassandra's worried face meets me against the door. “What happened?” I asked, brows were furrowed. Cassandra pulled me out from the door, and she brought me to the living area. Sadness and worries are evident on her face. I couldn't help but be nervous with her reaction. “You wouldn't believe the information I've gotten, Emerald!” Cassandra uttered. I stared at her, feeling confused about what she meant.“Tell me what you found out, Cass. You're scaring me,” I mumbled. A heavy sigh escaped from her throat. “Calvin is dead.”I stepped back as these words escaped from Cassandra's mouth. My heart skipped, body trembling in disbelief. “W-What did you say?” Stuttering, I asked her directly, staring into her eyes. Cassandra looked at me in her worried face and said, “He was found dead
~Emerald~“Who killed him?” I was stunned in my direction, mouth widened when Gideon turned his head at me. I met his gaze and shrugged my shoulders.“I have no idea and the only thing I know, Calvin went to the forest to chase the intruder here last night. Someone entered your territory, Alpha Gideon,” I responded, and he gritted his teeth. His jaw clenched while looking at me. ‘I just hope he won't blame us!’ Lilian said at the back of my head. I let out a silent sigh without breaking my eyes to Gideon. I wanted to know his reaction to my explanation.“Someone dares to enter my territory?” Gideon uttered, his voice threatening. A smirk forms on my lips as I look at him deep in his eyes. This is my moment to ridicule him. “I thought you're strong?” I muttered, making him turn his head at me.Gideon's lips form into a grin. “Of course, I'm still strong and no one can beat me down.” I couldn't help but shake my head in disbelief. Gideon is still pushing himself that he's strong
~Emerald~I froze in my direction as I heard what Gideon just said. He's looking at me intently, eyes flickering with amusement. I could feel my hands clenched tightly as my eyes were still looking at him.‘F*ck him!’ Lilian snaps as if she wanted to attack Gideon. I took a deep breath, calming myself down.“Okay, I'm willing to be your slave once you were able to capture that mysterious man and bring him to me,” I uttered to him, and his smirk widened. Gideon crossed his arms, studying me closely. I don't know, but I got really hooked about that mysterious man. There's something deep down that I wanted to know who he is. He killed Calvin.I was curious to find out his face under the hoodie jacket he's wearing. “Why do you look so interested in him, Emerald?” Gideon asked, looking so confused. A deep breath escapes from my throat, eyes staring at him. “I'm the Luna of this pack, remember? I also wanted to keep this pack's safety and that's the reason I want you to capture that mys
~Emerald~My heart is still aching from his death even though four months have passed. I couldn't move on. I couldn't erase him from my heart. I've always wanted to see him. I wanted him back in our life because it's hard.It's hard that he's not on our side. I couldn't imagine my life without him. My life is empty. I feel like I want to follow him if this heartache continues spreading across my body.“Emerald…”I immediately wiped my tears when I heard Cassandra’s voice. It's a new day of hoping for nothing again. Gideon is not back yet, which means he failed to find that mysterious guy who came here, and I felt relieved. Knowing that he's not back, and he couldn't find it, I wouldn't become his slave.“I-Is there anything you need, Cassandra?” I asked her, making my voice lively again. I just don't want her to worry again.“Are you crying?” Cassandra asked curiously.I bit my bottom lips, and then she walked in front of me to confirm if I was really crying. She let out a sigh, holdi
~Emerald~“Katie…”I clenched my fists, jaw tightens upon seeing her face. She was walking in my direction, wearing her blank expression. I grit my teeth, preparing myself in case she will do something to me. ‘Bitch!’ Lilian exclaimed, gritting her teeth. My eyes fixed on Katie until we had finally reached each other. “What the hell are you doing here?” I asked, my heart screaming of anger. “You're the reason for his death!” Katie exclaimed, moving her hand across my face. She just slapped me and it made my blood boil. I couldn't control myself anymore, so I slapped her back. Katie didn't avoid it. She was about to slap me again, but I immediately grabbed her hand before it landed on my cheek. “And you are the wrecker of our family. You are the reason James rejected me. You are…” I took a deep breath as anger consumed my heart. Katie's face softened, a tear rolling from her face. She pulled her hand from me, wiping the tears from her face. “I know you wouldn't believe me, Emer
