~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.
~Emerald~As James made it clear to me that I have nothing to get jealous of, we returned to the mansion. He has already confirmed that Kyle was the only spy in his team and the rest of his men are loyal to him.I was just confused where Kyle is working with. I know that he's not working with Gideon because if he did, he already told him about our whereabouts.‘I thought I was the only one wondering about it…’ Lilian muttered.A deep and heavy sigh escaped from my mouth, eyes darting around the living room.“Emerald!” Cassandra called my name, the moment that we reached the living room.I was surprised to see all of them in the living room, looking so worried about us.“W-What happened to the spy, James?” Ava asked, her tone shivered. I bit my lower lips as I looked at her.James grabbed my waist, pulling me closer to him. I just felt my heart pounding as he did that in front of them.“He's gone,” James replied shortly.A look of relief flashes onto their faces. My eyes turned at Kati
~Emerald~It's just so annoying to think that James didn't follow me. He disregarded my emotion and even chose to go back to where Ava is. I thought it was okay. I thought Ava and I would become close friends because that's what I expected from her when I first met her but I was wrong all this time.She doesn't like me. She was just faking her kind approach to me. I should have known that in the first place.‘If it's not because of Ava, we couldn't get the letter that James left for you,’ Lilian uttered, making me roll my eyes.‘With or without the letter, my feelings had already existed for him. I don't need anything just to confirm the love that James had for me,’ I responded to her.Lilian just took out a deep breath. She was about to speak when my eyes shifted to the door after I heard knocks there.I opened it up and Cassandra was standing there. I furrowed my brows when I noticed she was alone.“Where's Jacob, Cass?”She let out a deep breath and said, “Don't worry about him bec
~Emerald~“Hush, Baby. I wasn't blaming you at all. I sacrificed my life because I love you. You and Jacob are my life. Losing the two of you could make my life a living hell, so please, don't be hard-headed, okay?”James' comfort really made me calm. Seems like all the uncertainties in my head disappeared as he hugged me tightly. I couldn't say no to him.“I apologize if I become so weak sometimes. I'm trying not to feel that but there are times that I really can't control my emotions and you are the only person who should understand me…”As I uttered these words, James let go of me. He held me on both of my shoulders, trying to communicate with me deep into my eyes.“Yes, I did. I know you're worried about Ava. I have talked to her and I will not tolerate her treatment of you. She still had to remember that you're my Luna—”I removed James' grasp from my shoulder when he suddenly mentioned the name Luna. We both know that I was no longer his Luna. I am still connected to Gideon.“We
~Emerald~“I already told you, Ava. Do not talk like that toward Emerald, or I—”James is not done talking yet when Ava suddenly cuts him off. I couldn't help but to look at him and found his eyes flared up in anger.“I know, and I didn't follow the two of you because I wanted to fight Emerald. I have a good intention and that is also to ask her for my apologies. And this time, it's real…”I looked back to Ava, her eyes seemed begging me. I stood for a moment in silence as I observed Ava carefully to better understand her if what she said is true.“I told you already that Emerald is not an enemy, if that's what worries you. She's my soon-to-be wife and I loved her. I will do everything for her and for my son, Ava. Now, if you keep attacking her, I'll be forced to bring you back to Gideon!”James is mad. I could already feel it from how he speaks. When I turned my head to him, it was confirmed. Just how his eyes blaze at Ava, I know he's annoyed with her attitude that she just showed u
~Emerald~I continued walking my feet without looking back to James. He tried reaching me, but then Levi came, asking him for a word. I was relieved from Levi's sudden interruption, giving me time to think.At this moment, I decided to look for Cassandra and found her outside the mansion. She raised her head, worries evident on her face.“What happened?” Cassandra said, making me let out a deep breath.“I came to her room and it's true. My husband was there, and I caught them hugging. However, James and Althea explained to me that it was just a friendly hug…” I explained it to my best friend.Cassandra put Jacob back to his stroller, and then she looked at me deep into my eyes. I know what she would tell me.“A friendly hug?” She uttered, nodding her head as if something was already in her mind. “Are you sure that was just a friendly hug?”I gasped, hearing these words from Cassandra. I understand her point. She was just protecting me, but then I suddenly realized something.A deep an
~Emerald~“She knows the girl?”Levi nodded his head in response to me. I took out a deep breath, forcing a smile. Levi shouldn't think that I was affected by what I found out. And one more thing, I have nothing to be scared of.“Yes, Luna Emerald. Alpha James and Althea told us about it,” Levi replied. I smiled at Levi, nodding my head in response.“Great, thank you for telling me. I have to see them now because I wanted to check the girl's situation as well.” I turned away after saying this to Levi. He wasn't given the chance to speak as I left immediately before he could even say a word.My heart pounded so fast, thinking about her. I wondered how she and James even met.‘Maybe, they met in the human world. Knowing James before, he had travels that the pack didn't know,’ Lilian interrupted, making me pause in my tracks. I suddenly felt my legs trembling, my fists clenching when realization hit me after Lilian said those words to me.‘What if…’ I paused, struggling to even contin
~Emerald~I was stunned by Cassandra's question to me. My heart even started pounding, disbelief written to my face as I looked at her. Knowing my best friend, I know she's just worried about me, but I have trust in my husband.“I know your worries, Cass, but believe me it won't. James loved his son and he promised he would spend the rest of his life with me. I swear, he won't allow any girl to flirt with him,” I assured her.Cassandra took out a deep breath, a smile curved on her lips.“I'm sorry if I said these words to you. I just don't want something bad to happen to you. I don't want to see you getting hurt again, Emerald,” Cassandra uttered in her worried face.Seeing her reaction like that made me feel grateful in a way that I have such a friend who always thinks about me. The friendship that Cassandra and I had would always be forever.“I know, but don't worry about me. I can handle this one. My husband already knew what would happen to him if he dared to hurt us,” I mumbled,
~Emerald~“Help me! Help!”I grip the handle of the car's door as I hear a woman's scream outside. James immediately rushed out from the car to find her. I did follow him and in the middle of the road, there's a wounded woman coming over to us.My mouth widened when I felt something from her.“A human girl,” I mumbled, my eyes directly focused on her.In the distance, a group of men were coming. They were all smirking as they followed the wounded human girl, making me grit my teeth as I realized who they could be.“Christopher, take the girl in your car!” James commanded his cousin, and he listened immediately.At this point, James moved closer to me as we waited for the group of men coming into our direction.My brows furrowed, focusing my eyes on these human beings who got lost in our area. I don't know if they had an idea that this place was filled with wolves.“Where do you think you're taking her?”A man in the middle suddenly asked us this question. I tilted my head, as I notice
~Emerald~The way he grabbed my waist and took my lips before I could react, gave me so many emotions that I couldn't control. My cheeks turned red, my legs started trembling.I know there were wolves already looking at us, but as James started moving his lips, I already lost the will to decline. I just found myself, wrapping my hands around his neck.The kiss lasted for a minute, and both of us gasped for air as we let go of each other's mouth. James gave me a peck on my lips and when I realized what we did, I couldn't find the courage to face the wolves.However, we were suddenly interrupted when Christopher arrived. Behind him is a woman I wasn't familiar with.“I found her and the other prisoner of this pack. I have already allowed them to escape, while she's coming back with us,” Christopher explained, making me look at the woman.My brows furrowed as I saw familiarity from her. Her face looks familiar to me. It seems like I have already seen it to another person.‘That's Isabell
~Emerald~I swallowed hard, seeing these wolves surrounding me now. My heart pounded so fast, as I held my gun tightly.The wolves slowly stepped their feet near my direction, preparing themselves to attack me.‘Where the hell they come from!?’ Lilian exclaimed at the back of my head.I grit my teeth, eyes started to darken as I looked at them. If they dare to attack me now, I will make sure to kill them undoubtedly. My gun will kill all of them and if I lose my bullets, Lilian will kill them.‘I got your back, Emerald. Just watch your moves. They are numerous and James is not here. He's also busy with the other enemies!’ Lilian reminded me, making me nod my head in response.‘We can do it alone because we are not weak, Lilian. I will make sure to end them on my own, I swear!’ I muttered to her, and Lilian nodded her head in response.At this point, I put all of my focus to the enemies in front of me. They started hissing as if they wanted to eat me alive and the next thing that happe
~Emerald~A sound of a gun suddenly echoed in the area where we were all standing. I smelled the ash of a bullet, coming out from my gun, while the corners of my lips lifted.Yes, I was behind the sound of a gunshot. It came from me. I was the one who shot Beta Steven, but only towards his left arm.“F*ck!” Beta Steven screamed in pain, his left arm covered with blood.The warriors behind him were about to come after me, but James stepped forward, glaring at them.“Don't you dare step your f*cking feet near my wife or else, I will kill you at once!” James warned them.I bit my lower lips as I realized what I just did, but I have no regrets. The poor mate of Alpha Raven is what crosses my head.As James threatened those warriors, they returned to their area. Beta Steven started scolding them as if he really wanted the warriors to attack us. However, it never happened according to what he likes.“Is that all? You will just allow these enemies to step into our land and threaten us to our
~Emerald~“This is their pack, Alpha James.”I tilted my head when I heard Raven's voice as he spoke. James took my hand, making me turn my head to him.“We're finally here, so I want you to stay by my side. We didn't know what's waiting for us there,” James whispered to me.A smile formed on my lips as I noticed the worries from his reaction. James has been like this every time that we're facing a battle and I understand him for that. He's just worried about losing me.“Hey, stop worrying. Your gun would also be a great help for me later on. I will definitely use this, but it will be better if I let my wolf kill the enemies. She missed fighting,” I blurted to James.He couldn't help but shake his head while looking at me, but deep inside I know James trusted me. After all, I don't fear anything now because I know he's there for me. James will never allow something to happen to me and I won't allow something to happen to him as well.“Just be careful. Don't make me meddle in your figh
~Emerald~Alpha Raven suddenly fell on his knees in front of me. He suddenly burst out in tears which stunned me. I wasn't expecting an Alpha to cry like this. Seems like Raven has been dealing with a big problem.“I am really so tired of this battle, Luna Emerald. I lost my mate because of this…” Raven uttered between his tears.I just felt my heart tightened when I heard these words from Raven. Never did I imagine that he lost his mate. He lost his other half and this might be so painful for him. It's too hard to move on, especially for this kind of reason.He never simply lost his mate. She died because of a battle.“I'm sorry to hear these, Raven. I didn't know you have lost a mate, but I know she's already in the hands of the Moon Goddess now,” I responded to him, making sure he felt better.Raven bent his head down, still crying. James had already returned, and now he's confused about what's happening.“What happened to him?” He whispered to me.The first thing I did was hug him
