~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~My head turned at the back to check who came inside the interrogation room. I just felt my brows furrowed upon seeing Alpha Harold standing near the door.“I apologize for coming, but I was asking where the Alpha King is, and the warrior told me this place. Am I a disturbance?” Harold asked, looking like he's apologizing.I looked at James, and he seemed not pleased, but had no choice. Harold is his friend.“Nah, it's okay, Harold. We are just having an interrogation here because someone is spying on us, but it's okay. We're done dealing it,” James responded to him in his casual tone.I let out a deep breath as a sigh of relief because James never told Harold about the conversation that had happened towards Robert and Maureen.On the other hand, I looked at Harold and saw him smile.“I heard what happened, James. I am your friend, and we've been so close ever since. You cannot hide the truth from me but don't worry, I will be your greatest ally to destroy all your enemies,”
~Emerald~I felt my forehead arched as I looked into the woman's face. When she mentioned those words to me, her expression softened, worries were evident on her face.“What do you mean?” I murmured, not breaking my eyes away from her.“Yes, you heard it clearly, Luna. We need the Alpha's help. Our pack has been occupied by the enemies, and they imprisoned my Alpha father. I have no one else to call for help until the Alpha King flashes into my mind.”I furrowed my brows while listening to what the woman is telling me right now. Seeing her react like that, I knew for a moment that she's telling the truth. It was true that she came here to ask for help, and to talk to James. If she is really from Gideon's group, I know she already forced me out.“Who did conquer your father's pack?” I asked seriously, and then she let out a deep breath.The woman turned her body away and didn't speak for about a minute.“They said, it's Gideon's followers.”I could feel my heart skip a bit after hearin
~Emerald~After talking, James and I finally decided to go to the interrogation area to see the warriors who just betrayed us. While on our way, I couldn't help but grit my teeth thinking about them. We really couldn't believe that there are still enemies to our pack despite the intensive security that we have here. Seems like Gideon is just so desperate to bring us down.“I think you need to go back inside now, Baby,” James mumbled, right in front of the door of the interrogation center.I couldn't help but to furrow my brows while looking at him.“But why? I needed to see them and I also wanted to hear from them how on earth they betrayed us,” I explained, and he held my hands tightly.“Yes, I know, but I don't want you to worry about this anymore. I know they will not admit where Gideon is even if we killed them. But we are not going to end their lives until they surrender and tell us where the f*ck is Gideon's hideout.” James stated.I let out a sigh and thought about it. I'm also
~Emerald~I let go of hugging James after I heard what he just told me. Shocked was already written on my face when I looked at him.“Wait, what?” I mumbled at him.He smiled, and pinched my nose. I met his gaze and when I looked at him, I could not find any fear from him. This just proved that James doesn't worry about Gideon.“Stop worrying about Gideon. He's not letting anyone kill him because he's waiting for me, Baby. Gideon wanted us to face each other. It all started between the two of us and only the two of us can end this war. Therefore, you need to relax and don't worry that much about his presence,” James explained.I know he just doesn't want me to worry about him and I understand him. James only wanted to keep me safe, so he has to make me believe that everything is alright, but it's actually not.I love him, and I know he will get worried about me if I push to kill Gideon myself. James needed strong support from his loved ones and if he's telling the truth that Gideon wa
~Emerald~Ares failed to stop me from showing off myself to Gideon. I am finally in front of them now and Gideon turned his head at me. His eyes widened and he stepped back.“Emerald,” he mumbled to my name.I couldn't help but smirk upon meeting his gaze.“It's been a long time since we last saw each other, Gideon. I thought you were dead.” I muttered to him, but he just smirked.The warriors who betrayed us moved beside Gideon. Shocks were written to their faces now as they saw us here.“A person like me will never die easily. I have nine lives just like cats.” Gideon responded between his smirk.I shook my head, my gun still pointing at him. Ares was already next to me. He's carefully watching our enemies, preparing himself if ever they did a sudden attack.“You're alone, Emerald? Where's your asshole husband? I was expecting him to always be with you, but…” Gideon paused, his eyes turned at Ares. “You were with someone else.”I tilted my head, my lips still curled into a smirk as
~Emerald~“I'm fine, Cass. I just have something important to do.”After saying these words at Cassandra, I turned away. Cassandra called me but I never looked back. I just wanted to keep a distance from James. He needed space, and I've understood that he doesn't want to talk to me as of now.I don't have any idea where my legs are taking me now. My mind was too preoccupied that I never noticed I was already in the dark area of the pack.I just realized it late.“What the hell?” I murmured, upon realizing that.I was about to step my feet away when my eyes suddenly captured something. My brows furrowed as I focused my attention on them and then my teeth clenched.I know something is not right with them. They were talking about something and I stepped forward to listen to what they are talking now.“We have to move faster now. The King is waiting for us. We need to bring Luna to him before the attack happens.”These wolves who are talking in the dark area of the pack were familiar to m
~Emerald~I get my husband, but this is not the moment for us to fight each other. We only have a very short time to deal with Gideon. It's better if we focus all of our attention to find him.“James, calmed down. I already told you about it. It's not Ares' intention. He doesn't know about it at all, so please—listen to me,” I begged.James turned his head at me, his eyes still covered with darkness. I could feel my heart skip a bit while staring at him. James may be tough, but he still has a heart.I know he will listen to me and after a minute of holding Ares, James loosened his grip until he released him. A deep sigh escaped out of my throat, knowing that he listened.“You're grateful that my wife still defended you, Ares. Just so you know, I don't care whoever you are if you did something to my wife,” James murmured at Ares.I bit my lower lips, holding his hand.“That's enough, James. Ares has nothing to do with my outburst. It was my choice. We were just talking earlier when I b
~Emerald~I'm not weak, nor will I get affected by any of my predictions. It was just a mere prediction that can still be changed.But the question is…Is there really a way to change that? Am I powerful enough to prevent whatever I've seen to happen in the near future? Can I still stop the destiny of the Alpha King?And right now, I really don't know. I feel so weak every time I think of James' destiny. His destiny to die in the hands of Gideon and knowing that he's still alive now made me so worried.As I was thinking about that moment where I first predicted James' destiny, my body started trembling in fear. I don't want that to happen. I will not give up the father of my son and the same man who made my heart pound.They say destiny can't be changed, but I'll make history. I will rewrite James' destiny and I will do everything I could to prevent him from dying. Gideon will not succeed. We have to kill him before the prediction comes into reality.And with that thought, I feel calm
~Emerald~When Ares heard those words from me, he just sighed. He even looked at me as if he wanted to read my expression.“Today is the regular visit of those wolves living here, Luna Emerald. Would you like to join me?”I furrowed my brows upon hearing these words from him and narrowed my eyes, hoping to see James. However, I couldn't find him anywhere. But I am certain that he's busy as well with his responsibility, especially now that they have to start looking for Gideon's whereabouts.I have nothing else to do but wait for James and also, I have a responsibility to this pack. I'm their Luna, and it's part of my job to check what the members are doing here.“That would be great, Ares. I am willing to help you.” I responded at Ares.He just chuckled and told me to follow him. Ares brought two of his warriors through our visitations towards the members. I was behind, silently observing the surroundings.The pack members knew me, and it's not hard for them to recognize me. I just fe
~Emerald~“You're right, Knox. I'm truly grateful for having her beside me. She's the woman I have been dreaming about.”I could feel my face blushed when James never hesitated to say these words to me and in front of Alpha Knox. He doesn't care about those who can hear it because what's important to him is to let me know that he never thinks about our location as long as he can say heartfelt words for me.I'm just truly grateful for having him as my husband, and I'm hoping that we will stay bolder until we succeed in erasing Gideon from here.“You should take good care of your wife, Alpha James. She has a lot of potential and after what she showed here, I'm certain that she will be the target of the enemies. They knew that she is so useful to you and to the whole pack,” Alpha Knox uttered, making me look at him.His words felt meaningful. I just can't stop feeling nervous about it.“Of course, Knox. I have my eyes towards my wife and I know our enemies will get interested in her, esp
