~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~“Follow them!”I just felt my mouth widened as I heard what Tatiana just said. She has suddenly summoned her colleagues behind her back, her tone seems commanding.“What are you saying, Tatiana?” I asked her, a smirk formed on her lips.That was then when I realized what's happening. Tatiana is not an ally. She's a spy and I will not allow her escape.Cassandra and the rest of the Crescent Moon Pack moved away. It was good that they noticed something was not right.“I can't believe that you two fell in my hands. Seems like my acting is doing great,” she responded to me, but I only smirked at her.“Who told you that we fell from your hands? Do you think we are not that wise enough?” I muttered, making her smile disappear.She raised her brows, teeth gritted in anger as she looked at me. Her warriors were planning to leave but a lot of James' warriors blocked them from leaving.“Your husband will never be able to stop Gideon. He's powerful now!” Tatiana screamed, but I just sh
~Emerald~Just before I could say something toward Christopher, we heard numerous footsteps coming into our way. I turned my attention behind and found James with his warriors.My eyes widened upon seeing him, confusion covered my face. I was just wondering about what happened to their attack. They returned so fast.“What happened, James?” I asked him, the moment I reached his place.He let out a deep breath, looking at me intently.“They are no longer at the pack. Gideon and the rest of the pack members already transferred to another place that we are still trying to locate,” he responded in his annoyed tone.I can feel the frustration from James knowing that Gideon tricked him again. We should not really underestimate that bastard. He knows how to play a hide and seek game.“That Gideon is still a coward, is it?” Christopher interrupted, walking near Alpha James.James turned his head at Christopher and I waited for his reaction, but as he looked at that man, it seemed like he knew
~Emerald~“What happened to those bodies, James?”The Alpha suddenly stopped walking after I asked him about it. He turned his head to me, his brows were furrowed.“I asked my warriors to throw their bodies away and leave it somewhere,” he responded, and he continued, “But it depends on the dead's sin.”I gasped from his answer to my question.“But what if those that we thought died were actually alive, James?” I asked him while furrowing my brows.James couldn't help but frown upon hearing what I had said. It took him almost thirty seconds before he replied.“If that's the case, I will kill them again,” he answered.I gasped upon hearing his answer with me. The calmness from his expression really made me realize that James feared no one. I know he's strong because he was the Alpha King now, but our enemies are getting bigger.Numerous packs want him dead to take the position from him, and this makes me nervous. I also have this vision that James, many of whom we killed, were actually
~Emerald~“You're overreacting, Emerald.”I was stunned when James mentioned these words to me with his cold expression. His words seemed to be piercing my heart. I just can't believe it and knowing that these words are coming from him, I felt disappointed.“You're accusing me of overreacting?” I mimic, my voice is as cold as the snow.James shut his eyes, trying to calm himself down. I can feel the frustration from his face just by how he looked at me.“Look, I'm sorry. I didn't intend to say that to you,” James uttered in a soft voice.I shook my head, stepping my feet backward as I prepared myself to leave.“If you're thinking of me as overreacting, then you just misinterpreted me. This is absolutely useless, James. Let's take a break for a moment. We wouldn't agree to each other thinking that neither of us were on good terms,” I muttered at James.He wanted to say something to me, when I turned my back away before he could even utter. Just the moment I turned my back away, I took
~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
