~Emerald~“You won't believe who's here!”“Oh, I heard that. I actually saw him earlier!”“I still can't believe that he was actually here in our pack. Alpha Gideon let him come here.” My heartbeat raced when I heard these words from the group of wolves I met on the way. They stopped talking when they noticed my presence that made my brows furrowed.I shook my head and continued walking. Alpha Gideon has a visitor and based on how the wolves described him, I know the visitor is not ordinary. He was powerful and important, and it's no longer my concern.I have no right to know who that visitor is and as long as my son and I are safe, that's all that matters to me the most.“I felt something unusual with that visitor thing, Emerald,” Lilian uttered.I stopped walking, my heart pounding so fast again. Lilian's instinct is strong. If she said something is wrong, there might be a possibility that it's true. I also could feel it just the way those wolves described the visitor.There were m
~Emerald~“What the f*ck are you doing here, James!?”I could no longer control myself anymore. My teeth gritted as I was screaming at James' direction. I didn't need to find him because I already found him on the field, talking to Gideon's beta.He turned his head at me, shocked written on his face. His mouth opened up, but I couldn't hear what he said because my mind and my heart were covered with my anger at him. Words would never be enough to describe how much I wanted to end his life. James, did many things to me in the past and killing him was in my mind at this point. Just before his men could stop me, I ran in his direction while holding the kitchen knife so tightly. No one expected me to come over to James. I used my knife to hit him in his left stomach. James didn't expect it and before he could stop me, I already stabbed him. My wolf, Lilian, wanted to take over, but I told her I can handle everything. His men came over and they captured me. They took the knife from my ha
~Emerald~I could feel my eyes darkening while looking at the man who ruined my life a year ago. A man who made my life terrible. The man who dared to risk my life and had the guts to abandon his child. I couldn't believe he had the face to show up with me.It's been a year ago. A year when I lived in darkness. A year full of tears, what ifs, and anger. Alpha James made my life almost like hell and I will never forgive him for that. No matter what he will do, the pain in my heart will never go away.I was gritting my teeth when I looked him straight in his eyes. “How could you say these things to me?”The look he was giving me was filled with regret. I can see it from his eyes. I can feel it from how he speaks to me, but it's already too late. He hurt me already. He ruined my life already and the life I was supposed to give to my son. James would never have me back, despite his efforts.“Emerald, you have to believe me. I mean the words that I had mentioned a while ago. Trust me, I wi
~Emerald~“F*ck!” I was stunned in my direction after realizing that the man I punched was actually Gideon.I panicked. “I…I am so sorry, Alpha Gideon. I didn't know it was you…”There was blood on the left side of Gideon's lips because of my hard punch. He didn't expect that coming attack, so he wasn't able to stop me. If I just knew that it's Gideon, I wouldn't do it. F*ck!“Do I look like a punching bag to your eyes?” Gideon asked, still covering his mouth. I grab his hand inside the cabin and let him sit on the couch.“I didn't know you're coming into my house. I thought…”Gideon didn't let me finish my words when he interrupted immediately.“You expected that it would be James, right?”A deep breath escaped out of my mouth from what he said. I looked at him deep into his eyes and saw the blank expression from his face. The words that James told me earlier flashes back into my head. He mentioned to me that Gideon allowed him to come here.I stood up from sitting next to him beca
~Emerald~After talking to Gideon, I packed my baby's stuff. I wanted to make sure that James would not find out about Jacob. I have to separate with my son just temporarily. Cassandra will take good care of Jacob, and she will bring him to her house. I will just go there secretly. It's better that my son is not with me to protect him from his dad.The next morning, everyone is getting ready. Alpha Gideon informed us that a visitor from the other pack would love to meet us. We made sure that our pack is accommodating and attractive before the visitors' arrival. James couldn't be seen. I have no idea where he is, which is better because I don't want my day to be ruined because of him.“What do you think about Gideon's words yesterday?”I stopped what I was doing because of Lilian's sudden question. My brows were furrowed. I couldn't understand what she was trying to mean, so I just shook my head.“What do you mean, Lilian?”Lilian just let out a deep breath. “Nah, don't think about it.
~Emerald~“F*ck! What did I do?”This is what I tell myself after leaving Gideon away. Lilian couldn't stop her laughter, which made me shake my head. I tried to forget about what happened by helping the worker in preparing the food and coffee for the visitor. I thought Alpha James was the visitor, but I found out they are not actually the same. There were important people from Gideon's ally pack. I insist on helping the maid by bringing the tea towards the visitors.As I arrived there, I had the chance to see those important visitors who came to visit Alpha Gideon's pack. I know the visitor. They once visited the Crescent Moon Pack, and this is the same man who I punched when he tried to disrespect me.“What the hell are you doing here!?” Nikolai, the bastard Alpha from the Moonlight Pack is the visitor whom I was referring to earlier. I couldn't forget his name. He disrespects me and tries to touch my legs.“Do you know her, Alpha Nikolai?” Gideon asked, looking at us confused. I
~Emerald~Fear crawls into my skin when I meet the incoming long claws of Nikolai's wolf. I just felt my heartbeat stopped from beating. The surroundings became gray, and I thought it would be my last breath. I thought I would die in this pervert's hands, but not until someone grabbed him away like a thing. An unexpectedly courageous man grabbed Nikolai's body and threw it away. My heart began to race when I slowly recognized who just saved my life.“James…” I uttered quietly. Alpha James' worried face met my gaze. I was still lying on the ground and still can't believe what just happened.“Are you alright, Emerald?” James' asked, still in his worried tone. I blinked as I was trying to digest everything that happened a while ago. Alpha Nikolai from the Moonlight Pack was trying to kill me. I was about to be scratched by his long claws, but suddenly, a strong man just came. He pulled Nikolai away and threw it away.It was Alpha James. He came to save me. He came on time before Nikol
~Emerald~“What do you want me to do, Emerald?” I stared at James, straight in the eyes, to know if he is determined to do my request. I am not good at reading, but the way he looked at me says it all.My smile widened, still looking at him. I also wanted to see the reaction to his face once I told him about what I wanted.“Emerald…” Gideon tried to get my attention, but I just glanced at him as an assurance that I know what I am doing. Gideon just let out a deep breath and did not stop me from what I wanted to do.I turned my head to James, who was still waiting for my response. A deep sigh escaped out of my throat before I spoke up.“I want you to kill someone for me,” I paused. “Someone who is an ass of this world.”I could hear gasps from the wolves around us. They couldn't believe as well that I would say this to James.‘You want what?’ Lilian couldn't believe the words that I had mentioned towards James. I didn't mind her as my attention was on James. He is not surprised by w
~Emerald~I froze in my direction, silently feeling those behind our backs. My grip towards the gun tightened, while waiting for them to attack us.But…“Alpha James, Luna Emerald. This is Ares.”I heard Ares' voice, making me sigh in relief. We turned our head at the back, seeing Ares. It was just him, and he's covered with blood all over his body.But I remember the incident from earlier where somebody pretended to be him. I need to make sure that we are not fooled.“How can we make sure that we're talking to the same Ares?” I mumbled, pointing my gun at him.Ares raised his hands, his eyes fixated at me. I can see from his eyes that he's trying to convince us that he's the real Ares.“This is me, Ares. I know someone pretended to be me, and I've learned about that. He hit me from behind, and I never expected that from coming. But you can see it from your eyes that I am not lying, Luna Emerald. Try to listen to your instincts, and you will know who really I am,” Ares murmured, which
~Emerald~‘What's going on, Emerald?’I could hear my wolf's voice at the back of my head. She was confused about what's happening. However, I didn't say anything to her. I just keep on walking while thinking about what I have learned.I don't know if James noticed it, but I do hope he did. We were tricked again by an enemy. The one that told us about the information where Gideon was seen here in the pack is not Ares.His identity was used, and I don't know what happened to him. We will deal with that later. As of now, we have to deal with the enemies' first. They are our top priority.“Just ready yourself, Lilian. We have something to do.” I muttered, and Lilian understood that.I continued walking my feet, my gun was already in my hand. My expression is so dark, while looking at the man behind Ares' identity.After almost five minutes of searching, I finally found Ares. He was currently with James while talking to the warriors. I gritted my teeth, while walking my feet in their dire
~Emerald~I am glad that Knox listened to us. He doesn't listen to his emotions and lets his brain work this time. This way, we can carefully plan the steps on how we can save his wife. It's hard because she was with Gideon and knowing that asshole, he won't let her escape.And also, I have this feeling that it will be the last battle that we have towards Gideon when we find out where he's hiding right now. We have to make sure that this would be our last shot to kill him.“What are you thinking?”I was disturbed with my deep thoughts when I heard that voice. When I turned around, I found my husband. We are still in the Ravager's Pack, and he left me at the table for a moment to speak to the other visitors. And now he's back while furrowing his brows.“I'll answer you later, but what's the expression?” I mumbled, making him shake his head.“You're trying to divert the topic, Madam. I was asking you, and you're supposed to answer me straightforwardly.”I chuckled, moving my face closed
~Emerald~As I thought about my son's life, I could feel my heart throbbed so fast. I am so worried about what will happen to us, but I have to be strong. My loved ones should not see me losing hope.Therefore, I lifted my head again, and looked at Gideon. I just don't want to allow him to threaten us like that.“Even if you plan carefully, you will always fail because you can't beat us down, Gideon. Say whatever you wanted to say, but let me just remind you as well that James and I will be helping each other to fight you. We are not going to back out until you totally disappear.”When Gideon heard these words from me, he started laughing. I just let him do whatever he wanted and there's no hard feelings for me anymore. His laugh won't affect me.“Let's see, Emerald. Don't worry, it will happen soon. As of now, I will just allow all of you to celebrate because when the war comes, your laughs will be replaced by sorrow. I think I should say goodbye now. Know that I love you and will de
~Emerald~I can feel my breath stop for about a minute upon seeing Gideon in front of me. My hands were clenched when my eyes fixated on Gideon. I don't know how it happens that I am seeing him right now. I was with James earlier, and then I just felt my environment changed into a new dimension.“No one misses you, Gideon.” I gritted my teeth while staring at him.He crosses his arms, his lips curled at the edges. I know what that reaction is.“I know you won't miss me, Emerald. There's no doubt about that, but your husband does. He's desperate to kill me. But he can't do it, and you know why?” Gideon said, which made my blood boil.“I don't want to hear whatever you're going to say to me, Gideon. You have been telling us those words ever since. You're lucky because you survive death, but you know, luck will not always be with you. The perfect moment will come when we will get rid of you.”Gideon started laughing after hearing these words from me. He didn't take my statement seriously
~Emerald~James turned at me, his expression couldn't be explained. I know what he will say now, but I am ready to answer it. My decision is final. I will help this pack, especially Alpha Nyx to find his wife.“You know that it's impossible, Emerald. Your ability is limited!” James murmured, making me let out a deep sigh.I looked at him deep into his eyes, asking him to look at me as well. Instinctively, I took his hands and held it tightly.“You have to trust me, James. I know I can make it and maybe this is the time for me to communicate deeply with my vision. This is the moment that I should ask it to help me. I have to learn how to make it work any time I want to because I believe that this ability will be helpful to all of us in the future. This is our advantage against our enemies,” I explained deeply, making sure that I met his gaze.James suddenly closed his eyes, his chest moving as an indication that he's taking a deep breath. The way his expression softened, I know for a m
~Emerald~I nodded my head to agree with James. He is right. I should not be worrying about the problems which are not happening yet and only think of this once it comes.We focus back our attention on the road and I tried not to think about negative thoughts because this will only cause me stress. I should just wait until we arrive at the Ravager Pack before I conclude that something is really not right there.Our departure took us about almost an hour before we finally reached our destination, the Ravager Pack. The moment James announced that we arrived, I couldn't take my eyes away from the pack. This is the first time that I step into this land. I had never expected that there was still a pack which I didn't step into with.“Are you ready to meet them?” James asked me, which made me turn my head at him.I bit my lower lips, and then took a deep breath before responding to him.“I think I'm ready,” I mumbled.He chuckled upon hearing my response. He took my hand, and we left the ca
~Emerald~The next day, I woke up from a sleep when I felt a soft kiss all over my face. When I opened my eyes, I saw James smiling at me.“Hey, you're finally awake. I have been waking you up since earlier,” he uttered, which made me furrow my brows.“What time is it?” I asked him.He chuckled, “It’s already ten in the morning, Baby.”I immediately stood up from the bed after hearing his response. My eyes suddenly searched for the wall clock and I just confirmed that it's really late.“F*ck! I didn't notice the time!” I mumbled, making him chuckle.“Nah, it's okay. I know you're tired because of what happened last night, so I didn't wake you up so early. Our son is with Cassandra, and she's taking good care of him. You have nothing to worry about him anymore, Baby,” James explained, which made me feel relieved.It was Jacob that I worried most, but then I remember that Cassandra was there. She will take good care of Jacob.“Wait, you have no work?”I was referring to James' responsib
~Emerald~A sharp claws suddenly buried Malverra's chest, causing her to be shocked. My hands covered my mouth upon witnessing what happened to Malverra. Her blood started streaming below, her body trembling.The next thing I know, Malverra fell to the ground and is now lifeless. This time, I was able to see the person behind Malverra's death, and it's no one, but Ares.Our eyes met, fixated for a minute, before he turned to James. I can feel my heart pounding so fast while looking at him. Ares has this strong appeal every time I see him with blood all over his hands.He looks no different from James when he kills. I didn't even expect that he's already at Malverra's back.“She's dead.” Ares declared, which made me feel a deep relief.I thought I would end up killing James as I have no more control over myself, but Ares came. He killed Malverra behind her back while she's dealing with me and after Malverra's death, I could already feel that I had escaped from her control already.I ca
