~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~James put me down on the bed, and then he rode on top of me. I can hear my heart's heartbeat thinking what would happen next.My eyes laid onto his six-pack abs, making me bite my lower lips as it began to glisten in my eyes. I have never imagined that I would see such amazing and attractive six-pack abs this close.Alpha James was already my husband, but my attraction to him never changed. It stays the same and the truth is, it gets wilder as time passes by.“Emerald…”I was back into my senses when his voice echoed inside my head. As I looked at him, the Alpha's smirking reaction met my gaze that made me turn away as much as I could.“W-What are you saying?” I stammered, face reddened like a tomato.“We're married already, yet you are still ashamed of me. Am I that intimidating, Emerald?”All of a sudden, James asked me these words that made me gulp. I turned my attention back to him and he was already furrowing his brows.“N-No, of course. I just can't avoid it and I alre
~Emerald~James and I went out of the room to continue what we are supposed to do. He doesn't even want to go out, but I convinced him because we have so many things to do. The problem with Robert and Maureen is not solved yet.“Alpha James!”We suddenly stopped walking when we heard someone calling the Alpha's name. I just felt my heart pounding so fast hearing Levi's voice.“Levi, what's wrong?” James asked him.Levi let out a sigh. He looked at James with worries covering his eyes.“Something happened. Maureen and Robert escaped from our men,” Levi uttered.I gasped upon hearing it. Never did I imagine that Maureen and Robert would escape the pack. I thought they were already on our side.‘What happened… I thought…’ Lilian mumbled. She was even shocked from what we found out.As I turned my head at James, his reaction remained the same. It's as if he wasn't surprised about this news.“Nah, let them escape. I already suspected that they would run away. Don't worry, I sent someone to
~Emerald~I shook my head upon hearing those words from James. It really shocked me until now.“Tsk, you're misinterpreting it, James. He was your friend, so stop thinking like that to him. I think Harold has a good intention and the look he's giving to me doesn't mean anything at all,” I explained, but James only sighs.He looked at me for a moment and smiled, “I wish I just misinterpreted it because I don't know what will happen if Harold has a hidden agenda for coming here. You know me that well. I don't care if it's my friend.”In response to James, I just nodded my head. I know he meant those words and I wouldn't react to that. So, at this point, James and I continued walking away.We went to the kitchen to check Jacob and Cassandra had already fed him. After that, we headed outside the mansion and found Harold waiting for us patiently.“Are we going to start the stroll, James?” Harold asked in his smiling face.James looked at him for a moment, and then he nodded his head in res
~Emerald~“You got it wrong, Alpha Harold. James never thinks that.”I turned my head away after hearing those words from him. My heart even pounded so fast, and I could almost hear the heartbeat of it.“I hope I did, Luna Emerald. I came here not because I wanted to create a mess. James is my friend and I respect him more than anything else,” Harold said in his convincing tone.I closed my eyes, guilt started hunting me down. At this time, I decided to turn my head back to him and place a smile on my lips.“Don't worry, Alpha Harold. James is still the same. He wouldn't get mad if no one messed up with him. Rest assured that he never considers you to be his enemy, and he has no reason to do that at all,” I muttered to him.Alpha Harold just looked at me and then his lips moved, forming into a knowing smile. I couldn't help but furrow my brows once again when he did that.There's something with his smile that I can't even explain. I don't know myself anymore. I started to overthink wh
~Emerald~All I did after hearing James' long speech was to sigh. This man knew what he was saying, and I don't want to argue with him on this topic.“But don't forget the fact that he was still your friend, James. What if his intentions are pure?” I asked him.James tilted his head while looking at me. He even let go of me for a moment.“If his intentions here are pure, then I will start trusting him.”I furrowed my brows when I heard these words from him. Never did I imagine that James doesn't trust his friend at all. I thought he really trusted him.“You don't trust him at all?” I asked him, and James let out a sigh.He looked at me for seconds before answering.“Am I being a bad friend, Emerald?” he asked.I was stunned in my direction, speechless. He is entitled to feel untrustworthy to someone but not unless there's no reason for it.“It's normal that we can't trust him because it's been a while since the two of you never met, but what if he is not bad, James? I think we have to
~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
