~Emerald~I can feel my eyes widened when I heard those words from James. I never expected him to say that.“What the hell are you talking about, James?” I muttered to him.James furrowed his brows for a moment, and then he let out a deep sigh. He was still holding Jacob in his arms as he looked at me.“You heard me, Emerald. I want you to stay away from him. He's my friend, but I don't want you to be close with him. You didn't know him,” he responded.I couldn't help but shake my head, while the corner of my lips lifted as many thoughts kept flashing into my head. His actions tell me something.‘Your husband might get jealous of you talking to other men. That's what I understood from James,’ Lilian uttered inside my head.“Nah, I won't go to him. I don't even know Harold.”James nodded his head, a look of relief flashes to his face.“Good, 'cause I don't like the way he looked at you. He's an old friend of mine, but I can be a monster if they dare to touch what's mine.”After James u
~Emerald~The Alpha pinned me against the wall, his hands were on both sides of my head. I can feel my breathing stop as I look at him, confusion clouding my face.“J-James, what's wrong?” I asked him in my stammering voice.He doesn't smile and instead, he moves his face closer until the gap is just one inch away. I can feel his hot breath against my face and even though he was already my husband, I can still feel myself getting stunned with him every time that he's close to me.“Did I tell you to stay away from him?” He asked, my brows were furrowed as I looked at him.“Yes, you did, but I didn't approach him. We just met him here,” I responded.James let out a sigh. His face softened after realizing something. At this moment, he placed a kiss on my lips before letting me go.“I'm sorry if I become tough. I just don't want to see you with men around, but then I realized that you're already my wife. There's nothing I should be afraid of,” he uttered.My brows furrowed as I heard his
~Emerald~I gritted my teeth as annoyance began to cover me up. This woman is really testing my patience. I don't know if I can still control myself if she continues making my blood boil.“Regarding that, Maureen. I will assign somebody else to train you, and you cannot join us. This is an Alpha's matter,” James responded to her in his calmed tone.I decided to keep my mouth shut. At least for now I will choose to be quiet but if she dares to do something, I will not be considerate, no matter who she is.“But, why not, Alpha James? I don't want to be trained by someone else. You did agree that you will train me by yourself!” she uttered to him.I couldn't help but roll my eyes as I heard those words from Maureen. Just before I could speak, James already spoke up.“If you don't follow my rules, it's better if you leave this pack. I don't want someone who doesn't follow my orders. You can go back to your father's pack and tell him I will no longer be going to train you.”Everyone gasped
~Emerald~I furrowed my brows upon staring at Maureen. Her dangerous stare at me made me confused a little. “What's your problem?” I asked her in my annoying tone. She suddenly grabbed my hand and I looked at it. Seems like her hold wanted to break my bones.“You are the problem, Emerald. Why did you embarrass me in front of them, especially in front of Alpha James?” she asked in her cold tone. The corners of my lips lifted as I heard those words from her. She really has the face to show her face with me just to say these words, huh. ‘Seems like she was so annoyed from what happened earlier. This woman has another agenda aside from learning to become a qualified Alpha of her pack, Emerald,’ Lilian uttered to me at the back of my head. A smirk formed on my lips as I listened to her. ‘I'll make her regret then,’ I responded to her. Lilian just chuckled. She didn't speak anymore because I focused my attention back to Maureen. I just wanted to show her the mistake of messing with m
~Emerald~We suddenly heard knocks at the door. I turned my attention to it, my heart started pounding so fast while thinking about what's happening.James let go of me just to check someone who's knocking from the door. I followed him at the back and when he opened it, we found Levi.“Maureen's father is here, James,” Levi uttered to me.I furrowed my brows when I heard it from Levi.“Maureen's father?” I mumbled.They looked at me and both of them let out a sigh.“Yes, it's Maureen's father. I didn't expect he would come here but whatever the reason is, we have to face him.”As I heard these words from James, I couldn't help but look at him with confusion covering my face. I just couldn't believe that Maureen's father would come here this early.Is there anything he needed here?“Let's go, Alpha James. His reason might be so important,” Levi uttered to James.The Alpha nodded his head in response and asked Levi to leave first. After Levi left the room, he turned his head to me. I wa
~Emerald~“Dad, Alpha James is here!”My eyes turned at Maureen when she suddenly spoke after seeing us walking on the stairs. I slightly grit my teeth when I saw that smile of hers. It is filled with arrogance.Maureen's father raised his head. He looked at us and then our eyes met. I was suddenly stunned in my direction as events in my head started flashing.The face of Maureen's dad flashed into my head with Gideon talking. I have a vision, and it's really unexpected that I would be able to see it. My visions are unexpected, and I have no control over when or where it wants to show up.“What's wrong?” James whispered to me.I was back to my senses after I heard his voice, so I turned my head back to him. A smirk plays on my lips now after seeing that vision.“It was true. Maureen's father and Gideon were an alliance. I found them talking in my vision,” I answered him in my low voice.His jaw clenched after hearing it from me, his eyes turned to them.“That's great, and now we know
~Emerald~“Stop talking, or I will punish you in front of your father. I am still the Alpha King and I will never hesitate to do that!”These are some threatening words that escaped from James' mouth. Robert, Maureen's father, was in deep shock. He was speechless when he heard the Alpha's angry tone.Maureen on the other side was out of words. She never expected that the Alpha would shut her off from talking in front of her father.“You are in front of my father, Alpha James. How could you say that?” Maureen asked, her eyes were still at James.“I don't care if your dad is in front of us. Just so you know, you are making up stories against my wife in front of me? Now, if you don't want to obey my rules, leave the pack. Bring your father away and those weapons that I don't need anymore,” James uttered in his calmed tone.He was trying to be calm now and I can feel it. I know he's doing all his best to be nice to them.“I was telling the truth, Alpha James. Your wife is—”Maureen didn't
~Emerald~A smirk formed on James' lips when Robert asked him about his real deal. It took him about a minute before he responded.“I will let you live, but only if you tell me the truth,” he paused to stare at Robert and then continued, “And that's the real deal of the Alpha King.”I let out a sigh when I heard those words from him. James really knows how to make his enemy tremble and I can feel the thirst from him wanting to kill Robert. I just hope that he could get the information he needs from Robert.“I-I can't, Alpha James. I have no idea where he is!” Robert responded, fear surrounding his face.I crossed my arms and watched him closely. Lilian is good at reading expressions, and she's a big help for me to find out if Robert was telling the truth.‘I'll try my best, Em. Let's see if he's telling the truth,’ Lilian interrupted.‘Do your best, Lilian. We have to know if this man was telling the truth. If ever he's telling the truth, we have to stop James from killing him,’ I mut
~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
