~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
~Emerald~I know I told myself that I should not cry or else my makeup will be damaged, but seeing the man I loved who is looking so breathtakingly handsome, clouded by happiness, melts my heart. Tears rolled down my cheeks as my eyes gazed at him.Just how he looked up, I know he's trying to control his tears. I narrowed my eyes around, and I filled with happiness as I noticed how many visitors that we have. Cassandra, Katie, Ava and her new parents, our son, Levi, and James' warriors are present in the venue. They were even dressed and looking so great with their outfits.We just have a few visitors but it doesn’t matter to me. It doesn't matter if our wedding was not held at Crescent Moon Pack because what matters to me is the fact that James and I are getting married.“I want this wedding done in less than thirty minutes because I want to lay on the bed with you doing some intimate stuff…”As I reached James' direction, he immediately whispered these words to me. I can't help but
~Emerald~“Are you done!?”James and I let go of each other when we heard Ava's voice. She was looking at us, anguish flickering in her eyes.‘What's happening to her again? I thought she changed…’ Lilian mumbled at the back of my head.‘That's what I thought as well. It seems like a siblings' power won over her heart,’ I responded to my wolf.‘A sibling's power? That means, she's also a devil just like him?’ Lilian asked, her eyes widened.‘Now I know I was still doubting to believe her. She isn't trustworthy at all!’ I exclaimed.“Ava, what's wrong with you again?” James asked her, confusion all over his face.Ava shook her head, a smirk curling on her lips. James held my hand. Cassandra moved away from her while she was carrying Jacob in her hands.“Oh, James. I can't believe you're marrying her. She was pathetic, weak, and useless Luna for you and guess what? I have really wanted to stop the wedding, but then I have realized that it is enjoyable to surprise the two of you after yo
~Emerald~“Prepare everyone, we are about to enter the secret passage through their pack.”As Allison muttered these to us, I just felt the tight hold of James to my mind. He even looked at me, his eyes were telling me something.“Don't let your guard down. I'm here beside you.” James reminded me.I nodded my head to him, which made him feel relieved. At this moment, I took out my gun from my coat. I have to prepare this just in case we meet an enemy on our way to the secret passage.Allison still led us the way. She kept on walking, and we just followed her from the back. After almost twenty minutes of walking, I can already see the houses not far from us. The houses that look different from the poor saviors who suffered from what the attack of Killian's pack before.The lives of the wolves here are different from the saviors. They have a nice house, while the saviors don't. They have more food and water than the saviors.And thinking about the privileged they have here to compare to
~Emerald~When the night arrived, all of us prepared for the attack that we were about to do at Killian's pack. My heart started pounding not because I'm afraid of them, but because I can't wait to see them. I could no longer wait to see my uncle, Alpha Killian, the one who did attack us long ago.After talking to uncle Tobias earlier, Allison brought me to the other wolves. She started introducing me to them as well as James. I remember some of them and I really felt grateful that I met them again.I feel so empty for how many years and now, everything will change. My life will never be the same as everything came back to me. I have gotten the information I need, and I just hope that there is new information which will surprise me again.“Are you ready?”I raised my head when I heard James. He was already standing in front of the door, his hands were inside his pant's pocket.A smile formed on my lips, nodding my head in response.“I'm ready to attack, James. Once we finish dealing w
~Emerald~It feels so weird that I suddenly hesitated to something I can't explain. Alpha Killian killed my parents. He caused horrible events in my life as well to those wolves who survived. They suffered because of him. I suffered from the attack he did and death is the only way for us to achieve the justice we wanted to have. I should not hesitate in killing him. I should not feel empathy for him. This is what I need to bear in mind before meeting him. I have to prepare myself before seeing Alpha Killian because I know what could be the consequences of it. There would be one group that would rise on top, and it should be the Crescent Moon Pack. James and I will beat them down altogether.“Allison will be guiding you the way through Killian's pack because she knows the way there. She has been spying on the pack for a long time now for us to gather information about them, Alpha King,” Uncle Tobias uttered, which made me turn my head at Allison.She smiled at me and said, “I am the
~Emerald~Uncle Tobias did nothing but just cried on his bed. Allison did her best to comfort her father while I was in the corner, gritting my teeth. I just can't believe that my father's brother will do this to my parents. It's been a while since I have never seen him. If I saw him, I would never allow him to escape.He will pay for what he did to my parents and to all the innocent wolves who died during the attack. “What's the name of that f*cking Alpha?” James mumbled, making uncle Tobias turn his head towards the direction of the Alpha.He's not aware who James is, and I know he's wondering right now based on how he looked at James.“You look familiar to me. I know I have seen you once…” Uncle Tobias uttered, his eyes fixed on James.He was trying to remember the face of James. I don't know where they met, but it won't be shocking to me. Uncle Tobias was once a beta and definitely, they have seen each other before.“Dad, he's the Alpha King. The man with Emerald was her husband
~Emerald~Allison opened the door of the small cabin. My heart continued pounding as I waited for uncle Tobias to appear in front of us.“This is dad's cabin, Emerald. He preferred to stay alone and it's his request. We have a separate house, but I always came here to send his food.” Allison explained, making me nod my head.James' hand was on my waist. He's making sure that he's next to me and I didn't complain at all. I just let him do whatever he wanted.The moment Allison pushed the door, my eyes never blinked. I just don't want to skip the chance to see the face of uncle Tobias, the beta I used to talk to when I was still young.But, I never imagined our reunion to be like this. It will be different, but my respect for him will never change.“Emerald, meet my father.”Allison moved away from the door, allowing us to see the man on the bed. My eyes fixed on the thin man, lying on the bed. He's awake and looks surprised upon looking at me.I bit my lower lips, trying to keep my tea
~Emerald~Allison looks surprised from what she heard. Her gaze fixed at James, her eyes filled with different questions. I know this information shocked her.“W-Wait, you are the Alpha King?” Allison asked, her tone not sounding convinced as of the moment. “Is this true, Emerald?”I smiled from her question, making Allison even more confused as she looked at me. I know they have never seen the face of the Alpha King before because of the fact that they are hiding for a long time now. They just heard some speculations about him and now, they will be able to meet him.“I apologize for not telling you about the man beside me, Allison. Yes, he's Alpha James, the Alpha King of the entire wolves.” I muttered, making Allison gasp.Her eyes went back to James, and she started looking at him, as if she wanted to make sure that she can recognize the face of the Alpha King.After a minute of staring at James, I was surprised by what Allison did. She bent her head and spoke.“It is an honor for
~Emerald~“Where's the others, Allison?”As I recovered from crying, I immediately asked Allison about the other survivors. Allison lifted her gaze and she looked at me straight in the eyes.“After we escaped the pack, we decided to move to a place that is hard for the enemies to find out. Only the survivors knew the way out of the pack. We lived there for many years, Emerald.” Allison replied, making me nod my head.I turned my head at James and he furrowed his brows.“I want to go with Allison, James. I need to meet the other pack members of my parents who survived.” I muttered, and James nodded his head.He called one of our warriors and told them to find a spot where we could hide our cars. After that, we decided to follow Allison to their spot. It's far from the abandoned pack of my parents and this took us an hour.James was on my side as we passed the secluded woods.“They will be happy if they find out that you are alive, Emerald, especially my father. He's been thinking of yo
~Emerald~I took out my gun from my coat and pointed it towards the woman in front of me. James even prepared himself in case the woman did something to us.“And who are you?” I asked back at her.A woman standing in front of me. She looks young, and I can guess that we are the same age. I furrowed my brows as I looked at her, thinking where I met her.She's familiar to me. Her face doesn't look new in my eyes and I can prove that I really know this woman.“I should be the first one to ask this question to the both of you,” she uttered, her teeth slightly gritted. “What are you doing here?”As the woman spoke, I tried to remember her face. I'm certain about what I felt about it.“This place is already abandoned. No one lived here anymore. What brought you to this place?” James muttered, finally decided to speak up.The woman turned her head at James, her brows furrowed as she looked at him from head to toe. I was just observing the woman as I hoped I could recognize her face.I have t
~Emerald~“Are you ready to explore the abandoned pack?”I turned my head at James when he spoke behind me. We are already on our way to the said abandoned pack where my parents owned before. It was abandoned for many years and no one lived there anymore.As he mentioned that place, I suddenly felt my heart pounding so fast. I can't help but feel nervous. This will be the first time that I will see the pack again after so many years. I couldn't imagine what it looked like after everything that happened.“I don't know what I should feel, James. After so many years of not knowing what happened before, this would be the first time again that I will step on that land. I know everything will be different now.” I blurted, and he pressed my hands.“I know, but I'm here. Everything will be fine.”As James blurted these words to me, I smiled at him. He kissed the back of my hands and when he did that, all the doubts I felt just disappeared.Having him in my lowest moments really helped me to c
