~Emerald~“Emerald!” As I stepped on the stair, I could hear Cassandra's voice echoing around the house. Her smile widens, eyes flickering in amusement when she sees me. I couldn't stop smiling when I saw her here.“I'm glad that the two of you are safe.” I uttered, walking in Jacob's direction. He was already in the stroller. The tears that I'm trying to keep earlier started welling up from my eyes. I just can't contain the happiness in my heart knowing that my son and my best friend were safe. I was thinking of them yesterday before Katie found me.“I can't believe until now that your husband who is Alpha James is actually alive. All this time, he's here!” Cassandra uttered, her face lightened up with happiness.I bit my bottom lips, turning my head back to James. He's crossing his arms, eyes staring at me.“I also couldn't believe it, Cass. I thought I would not be able to see him anymore. He's dead and that's what we all know all these months, but then we will just find out that
~Emerald~Katie bent her head down when I asked her about the father of her son. I let out a sigh, my eyes were still on her.“I'm sorry, I should have not asked this to you,” I utter in a low voice. Katie just smiled at me.“No, it's okay,” she said to me. “But honestly, I really don't know who the father is.” The way she bit her bottom lips, I know how she controlled herself not to cry. “That's fine, Katie. You don't have to think about it as long as you're doing everything you can for your son. I know the feeling, and you're not alone,” I responded to her. She tilts her head, eyes still filled with tears. Katie forced a smile, sadness still evident from her face.“I hope this will be the start of our new beginning, Emerald. We may have a tough past, and it's all because we misunderstood each other. Trust me, I'm no longer the same as before.” Katie was looking at me straight in the eyes when she said these words. I smiled at her, nodding my head in response. She immediately lea
~Emerald~I looked up and met James' eyes. It is still filled with anger and I know because of Calvin that I mentioned earlier. “I understand what Calvin did to you, but he already asked forgiveness of me. He was the reason that Gideon never touched me. I felt safe when he's around because Calvin was doing his best to keep us safe from your evil step-brother!” I uttered, my tone rises. I just can't stop myself from overreacting upon remembering everything that Gideon did to me. It still infected my mind. “He protected you?” James asked, his brows were furrowed as he looked at me. I nodded my head, a smile flashes to my face. His dark expression softened, James took my hands and held it. I just felt my heart sounded so fast when he kissed the back of it. “I'm sorry if I wasn't there when Gideon is hurting you. I wouldn't let him do that to you and I promised I could kill him!” James hiss, his eyes are dark as the night. I bit my bottom lips, controlling my tears not to fall from
~Emerald~“I don't know what you're talking about.”I moved my face away, trying to avoid her gaze, but Cassandra just chuckled as if she disagreed with what I said to her.“I'm your friend, Emerald. I know when you're lying. You couldn't hide it from me, so answer me. Is Ava the reason you're here?” I let out a deep breath, slowly nodding my head in response to her. “I didn't intentionally do this, I just can't avoid it, you know…”Cassandra patted my shoulder, drifting my attention to her.“I totally understood your situation. It's normal that you feel jealous about them because of love. You just loved James. This is not about being crazy because your jealousy means something.” I nodded my head, a smile tugging on my lips after hearing what Cassandra had told me. This time, we focus our attention back to Jacob. My son needs more of my time now. I'm overjoyed because finally, I can spend more time taking good care of him that I failed most of the time in Gideon's pack, since I'm wo
~Emerald~“Why would I get mad with you?”James couldn't control himself anymore as he chuckled, responding to me. I raised one of my brows, arms crossed while staring at him.“We've been separated for almost four months, but I still know you that much. I know when you're mad and you're not. You can't hide anything from me, Emerald,” James uttered in his calmed tone.I rolled my eyes to him, my heart pounding so fast. I don't know, but every time I see him smile, my anger fades away. This only proves that I really loved this man so much.James walked in my direction. He slides his arms on my waist, wrapping it around as he pulls me closer to him.“That look you're giving to Ava earlier, I know you're thinking that I'm into her,” He said, my brows furrowed while staring at him.I shook my head, the corners of my lips curled.“What kind of look do you see from me, huh?” I uttered, but James just grinned. He looked at me straight in the eyes and all I did was to look away. I couldn't sta
~Emerald~After I walked out from James’ mansion, I decided to stroll the area, hoping to make myself busy so that I could forget about James and Ava for a moment. Lilian didn’t speak to me because she knew that I needed time to think.The stroll that I did took me about an hour and when I returned to the mansion, I was surprised to see a lot of James’ men scattered everywhere.‘What’s going on here?’ Lilian asked. I was furrowing my brows as well, especially when I noticed the reaction from their faces.“Luna Emerald is here!” One of James’ warriors shouted, making everyone turn their heads at me.I kept on walking until I finally reached them. All of James’ warriors approach me as if they want to check me.“Leave.” James came and he asked his men to leave us alone.I looked at him, confusion clouding to my face. “What’s happening here?”He shook his head and walked over until he reached me. James checked my body as if he wanted to make sure that I was alright.“Where have you been?”
~Emerald~I lifted my head, eyes were still on her.“Don't say that. Nobody will die here and not even you. Just remember that your son needs you, and we have to keep fighting for them,” I uttered in my serious tone.Katie nodded her head as tears kept falling from her eyes. She was still looking at me.“I don't know, Emerald. My life was already fucked up since then. I have done so many terrible things and continuous lies from working towards Gideon. My victims would definitely go after me aside from him!”As she mentioned these words, I felt the fear within her heart. Katie did a terrible thing with me in the past but I can’t stand seeing her in this kind of situation. I have to do something to help her.‘Emerald, you're putting your life in danger as well!’ Lilian spoke, but I didn’t mind her.Helping Katie to cope with this is my top priority. She's a wolf who needs help and as a Luna, I should help those who need my service.“You're not leaving tonight without us knowing the enem
~Emerald~I shook my head, taking off my mask from my face. This is just so distracting.“Well, you are right. I'm not Katie nor my name is Emerald…” I paused, showing a smirk reaction before I continued. “I will be your biggest regret in life.”He snaps his fingers, an evil laugh lingering around the silent night. The man removed his mask, and I was surprised when I saw his face.“Kyle?” He smirked at me, his eyes dark as the night. “Yours truly, Milady.”I grit my teeth upon realizing that the enemy who wants to end Katie's life was Kyle, and it's not impossible that he was also the one who threatens Ava. It never came to me that all this time it was Kyle. This is James' trusted personnel. How come…‘In this world, nothing is impossible, Emerald. You cannot trust everyone around you. They might be traitors and that's why you need to be careful,’ Lilian uttered. I couldn’t help but grit my teeth while looking at Kyle. His reaction was not the same the first time I saw his face.
