~Emerald~I pulled out the gun that was hiding under my dress and shot the noisy wolf in front of me. My eyes just darkened, and I couldn't control myself anymore.“Don't blame me if I had to do this with you. I just lost my patience with you.” My eyes still dark as I said these words to the wolf that I shot earlier.He must be thankful that I didn't take his life. I only shoot him on his right arm to punish him and when I did that, everyone fell into silence. No one has ever dared to stop me, not even James.“Kill him, Emerald,” James uttered from behind.I turned my head to him, eyes widened in disbelief. He looked serious as he let out those words to me.“W-What?” The wounded wolf couldn't stop himself. He reacted right after he heard the Alpha's command to me.‘You heard him, Emerald. Kill that man to teach him a lesson. He did not respect you as his Luna!’ Lilian muttered, agreeing to what James said.I lifted my head and took a deep breath. My eyes went back to the poor man and
~Emerald~“Cassandra is wounded!”My world almost fell as I heard these words from them. I could feel my body tremble when I turned my head at the back. Tears suddenly streamed down to my face when I found Cassandra covered with blood.Levi carried her while Katie was holding my son together with his child. Her face filled with worries and there were bloods to her face as well.James held me on my waist as we rushed in their direction. The first thing James did was to take our son from Katie while I approached Levi to know Cassandra's condition.“W-What happened? Why is she wounded!?” I asked Levi, and he took out a deep breath.“We were attacked by some unknown wolves while we were on our way. Cassandra was wounded because she protected your son when a wolf from the enemy wanted to take him while the rest of us were busy fighting the others.” Levi explained.I just felt my knees trembling again. It seems like I wanted to fall to the ground hearing these, but I was thinking of Cassand
~Emerald~My face flushed as a reaction to what James had mentioned to me. I was about to respond to him when we were suddenly interrupted by a pack doctor from the clinic.“Alpha James, Luna Emerald… The patient has survived death,” he said to us.A fresh tear rolled down my eyes when I heard these words. James hugged me tightly, making me bury my face on his chest.“I told you, right? Cassandra will be fine. She can survive this.” James uttered to me.I bit my lower lips, nodding my head in response. We stayed hugging for a moment and when I'm ready, I told James that I wanted to see Cassandra.The doctor told us that she's already awake. It's just that, she just needed a few more days rest for fast recovery.“Cass…” I mentioned her name when I entered the room.She smiled widely upon seeing me, tears glinting from her eyes.“H-How was Jacob? Did I protect him well?” Cassandra asked me. She still thought of my son even though she was in a critical condition.Alpha James stayed near
~Emerald~I started looking for James everywhere, but I couldn't find it. His warriors told me that they found him at one of his favorite spots before, which is in the dark area.However, I have already scanned the possible dark area of this place just to look for James. I couldn't find him anywhere.‘Let's go back inside, Emerald. I think he needed time to think,’ Lilian suggested to me. A deep breath escaped from my throat when I thought about her suggestions. My wolf is right. James needed a space and I should give him this. I admitted that I made a mistake but it's all because of worries.I was about to leave the pack when I suddenly smelled something that made me stop walking.It's smoke.“Who's there?” I asked, keeping my tone calmed.“Emerald…”I felt my mouth widened when I suddenly recognized that voice. My heart pounded so fast, lips curved into a sly smirk.“I was looking for you everywhere. What are you doing here, James?” I asked him.He let out a soft chuckle and finall
~Emerald~“How much do you love me, James?”As I spoke these words, James furrowed his brows while looking at me. He seemed shocked by my question, but he smiled after a second.“Do you want to know?” James asked, his stare still at me.I bit my lower lips as I realized what I just asked him. James already told me how much he loved me and there's no need for me to keep asking him about it, but I wanted to know. I wouldn't get tired of knowing his love for me.“Yes, I want to hear it.”A soft chuckle escaped from his throat as he began wrapping his hand around my waist again.“I love you with all my heart, Emerald. Words would never be enough to describe how much you mean to me, and I believe that action speaks louder than words. I believe that I don't need to keep telling this to you every day. Just look at me, and you'll find out how much I love you,” James responded, his eyes never leave mine.I could feel my heart pounding again as I was satisfied with his response. James has a poi
~Emerald~I couldn't help but grit my teeth when I saw a woman staring at James while he's busy talking to some male wolves. He's carrying Jacob and never puts him down even though he's busy talking.My teeth suddenly gritted when I noticed a woman holding his arm without any reason and that made my blood boil.“She's flirting with my man, Katie!” I hissed without looking away.Katie agreed by nodding her head, eyes were still at James.“That's what I think as well, Emerald. I could even see her smiling as if her intentions were to flirt with Alpha James. You should approach them so that you can stop her. This might worsen,” Katie replied.I let out a frustrated sigh and started walking my feet away. The woman is still staring at Alpha James. She's trying to touch him again, but before it happens, I speak.“That's my man, Girl,” I muttered, and because of that, everyone turned their heads to me.James looks confused about what I just said, and it's obvious from how he looks at me.“Is
~Emerald~“You look so stunning with that dress, Luna Emerald!”I smiled as I heard this compliment behind me. I take a glance at the mirror, finding Katie and Cassandra behind. They are now ready for the party that we are about to attend.And talking about Cassandra, I was just surprised that she has finally been able to walk. We convinced her to rest, but she doesn't want to slip at this moment. She wanted to experience the first party of the Crescent Moon Pack. “Thank you, and you two look stunning as well,” I responded back to them. They just chuckled. Katie took her son and kissed his face. I couldn’t help but smile when I remembered Jacob. He was with his father. James has to go first to the party celebration to entertain our visitors tonight.“I still can't believe until now that I would have a chance to continue life even after all the bad deeds I made in the past. I thought I'd be dead…” Katie took a deep breath when her voice started to crack. She was about to cry, so Cas
~Emerald~A deep gasp came out from my mouth as I heard clearly what Levi had mentioned to James, confusion covered my face.“What are you talking about, Levi?” I asked in an almost panicking way. Levi turned his head to me, his eyes glinting with worries. He turned his attention back to Alpha James which I also did. “We received a call that Gideon is planning an attack here when the white full moon comes out from the sky. It will make things worse, Alpha James. We have to attack him first and that's our plan,” Levi explained. I just felt my mouth widened in shock as I heard about this. I had never expected that Gideon was also planning an attack. He's brave for doing this, and it only means that he's stronger now.“Then let's get ready. We should attack them before they can reach the pack. I will not allow anyone from his pack to step in here. They have to face me first.”As James mentioned all these words, I can feel his anger. I can also feel that he has no plan of turning away.
~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
