~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~“You look so stunning, Em!”I bit my lower lips as I heard these words from Cassandra. We are in my room, preparing for the most memorable moment of my life. Tonight is my wedding with Alpha James. The night where I would become his wife again, but this time…It's real. It is filled with love. A dream came true to me.“Do you think my look tonight is better?” I asked Cassandra again while facing the mirror.A smile flashes to her lips as she looks at me from behind. She even held her chin as if she's calculating me, and I can't help but chuckle.“Yes, you are. I promise James would definitely love seeing you on this beautiful dress. You are the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen and the glow in your eyes tells me how much you wanted this wedding,” Cassandra responded, making my face flushed in happiness.I looked at myself in the mirror and Cassandra is right. My eyes sparkled and this was because of James. The thought that he's still alive and now with us still feels
