~Emerald~I immediately stood up from sitting when I heard him speak. My heart started pounding so fast while staring at James. His reaction doesn't look good right now, and I need to explain it to him.“Let's talk out of here, James,” I mumbled, but he just glared at me. His eyes turned at Harold as if he wanted to approach him.“That idiot really wanted to poison your mind. I should teach him—”I grabbed his arm just before he could leave to approach Harold. I don't want James to fight with him, not on his dad's special day. He has to know what really happened.“Alpha Harold has nothing to do about it, James. It was my will to see him using my vision. I did that because I want to know who he really is and what his intentions were for coming here,” I explained to him in a whisper way.I made sure that no one could hear it because I didn't want Harold to know that I did try on looking at him using my vision.“You forced yourself to make a vision about him?” He asked, and this time he
~Emerald~I still couldn't believe until now that Harold saved my life from that bullet. It's the person whom I doubted…“I really appreciated it, James. If it happens again, I will save her,” Harold responded to James.I bit my bottom lips as I looked at Harold and the wound to his arm. This bullet might be painful but the way he endured it as if it's nothing to him made me feel amazed.Alpha Harold is not a bad person at all. His willingness to save someone's life made me wake up from my doubts. He won't sacrifice his life for me because I actually meant nothing to him. However, he still blocked the bullet from hitting me.“I-I don't know what would happen to me if Harold didn't catch the bullet, James. M-Maybe, I'm dead now,” I stuttered as I said these words to him.James pulled me closer to him to give me a tight hug. A tear started streaming down from my eyes in nervousness.“Hush now, Emerald. I won't let that happen to you. Let's thank Harold for saving your life,” he mumbled
~Emerald~Silence suddenly covered the area after James let out some threatening words. No one speaks but not for very long.The wolf that almost took my life breaks the silence in this area by bursting out into laughter.“Do you think you can scare me with your words, Alpha King?”I looked at James to find out his reaction from what the arrogant wolf had said. He's so arrogant by just how he speaks to the Alpha King.“Shut up, or you will taste your words!” Levi exclaimed, almost wanting to punch him. However, the wolf doesn't even care at Levi's warning. His eyes were still at James and the way he looked at the Alpha King, it filled with anger.“You should tell your boss if I were you. This might help you escape here alive,” I mumbled, finally deciding to speak up.The wolf turned his attention to me and the corners of his lips lifted, forming into a smirk.“Escaped? Do you really think I can still escape here?” He uttered, losing hopes already. “Death is the only way for me to esca
~Emerald~Alpha Harold was listening to me as I mentioned those words from him. He even looked at me for a moment before he decided to respond.“You made him change?” He asked, and I smiled.“Maybe that's the right term. We have really gone through a lot and our love story is just like everyone else's. We fight, but still, we choose to let love bring us back,” I responded confidently.When Harold heard this, he nodded his head and smiled.“I would say, Alpha James is a lucky Alpha for capturing your heart. You know, a woman like you was also one of my dreams. Beautiful, smart, kind-hearted, and she's really a Luna material,” Harold blurted, which shocked me.I wasn't expecting that these words would come out from his mouth. Harold is really direct to the point. He never hesitated the words that came out from his mouth and I truly admire him for that.“No, I was lucky to have James in my life. He made me feel how great love is. He gave colors to my life that I never felt before,” I mut
~Emerald~When James heard my question to him, he let go of hugging me. He didn't answer me but instead, he stared at Levi.“You can go back to the venue now, Levi. Just watched him closely,” James said towards Levi.The beta immediately left us, and he returned to the celebration. On the other hand, James moved his head back to me. He looked at me for a moment before speaking up.“I have an speculation that Harold and the Masked Wolf might be one,” he uttered in his low voice, just to make sure that no one would hear it.My eyes widened in disbelief as these words escaped from his mouth. I could even feel the pounding of my heart after James told me the possibility that Harold and the Masked Wolf might be the same.“B-But, how? Alpha Harold is your friend, James?” I muttered.A deep and heavy sigh escaped from his mouth upon what I had said. He didn't leave his eyes on me which I also did because I want to find out if James is not lying to me.“That was still my speculation, Emerald.
~Emerald~“W-What do you mean, Alpha Harold?”I don't understand myself right now. Seeing Alpha Harold in this kind of area made me nervous. There's something wrong and it was totally different from what I felt earlier.He laughed, “Why do you look so scared? I am not going to eat you alive!”I swallowed hard while looking at the Alpha. His innocent looking face suddenly became dangerous right now. I could even see how his eyes glistened with anger.But, what made him mad?‘I think you need to leave now, Emerald. I could feel something wrong with him and it was way different from earlier!’ Lilian muttered to me.I tried to listen to my wolf. My mind was telling me that I should go out of this area by running away, but something's preventing me from leaving. I don't understand what it was.“I-I am not scared, Alpha Harold. I was just surprised to see you here. What brought you here, by the way?” I asked, while I pretended to be unaffected by what he's showing me now.“I did follow you
~Emerald~“Emerald!”The moment that I heard the voice of James, I immediately jumped away. Harold tried to capture me, but I used the technique I learned during my training. He failed to stop me and because of that, Alpha Harold is screaming in anger.I throw myself in James' body after reaching him. He looked so worried about me the moment he saw me.“H-Harold, he's the Masked Wolf, James!” I muttered to him.The Alpha nodded his head as if he already knew about it.“Yes, I already knew about it. Levi had told me earlier, and it was the reason I left without a word to catch up with my beta. I apologize for not telling you about it,” James explained to me.I bit my bottom lips and his explanation was enough for me.“I followed you because I thought you don't like what I have said and then Harold followed me here. He admitted everything to me, James. It's confirmed that Harold and the Masked Wolf is one!” I blurted.James nodded his head, his hand cupped my face. He asked me to look a
~James~“Are you really that obsessed with my title, Harold?”Harold's lips formed into a smirk when he heard this question from me. I was still looking at him with my piercing eyes.“I am not just obsessed with it, but I am so desperately obsessed!” He answered while smirking.I shook my head with Harold's answer. My instincts never failed me. I know that something is wrong with him. He just came here all of a sudden, which seems so suspicious.This man really made the mistake of going here as if he can fool all of us according to his plans.“You're crazy, Harold. I thought you wouldn't be like Gideon, but you are no different from him anymore. Both of you allowed the darkness to consume your hearts,” I uttered, shaking my head in disbelief while looking at Harold.However, Harold just laughed at me and never took my words seriously. I wouldn't be expecting that. It's been so long that he was already consumed by darkness and I have no plan of letting him go.He has to pay for everyth
~Emerald~“Prepare everyone, we are about to enter the secret passage through their pack.”As Allison muttered these to us, I just felt the tight hold of James to my mind. He even looked at me, his eyes were telling me something.“Don't let your guard down. I'm here beside you.” James reminded me.I nodded my head to him, which made him feel relieved. At this moment, I took out my gun from my coat. I have to prepare this just in case we meet an enemy on our way to the secret passage.Allison still led us the way. She kept on walking, and we just followed her from the back. After almost twenty minutes of walking, I can already see the houses not far from us. The houses that look different from the poor saviors who suffered from what the attack of Killian's pack before.The lives of the wolves here are different from the saviors. They have a nice house, while the saviors don't. They have more food and water than the saviors.And thinking about the privileged they have here to compare to
~Emerald~When the night arrived, all of us prepared for the attack that we were about to do at Killian's pack. My heart started pounding not because I'm afraid of them, but because I can't wait to see them. I could no longer wait to see my uncle, Alpha Killian, the one who did attack us long ago.After talking to uncle Tobias earlier, Allison brought me to the other wolves. She started introducing me to them as well as James. I remember some of them and I really felt grateful that I met them again.I feel so empty for how many years and now, everything will change. My life will never be the same as everything came back to me. I have gotten the information I need, and I just hope that there is new information which will surprise me again.“Are you ready?”I raised my head when I heard James. He was already standing in front of the door, his hands were inside his pant's pocket.A smile formed on my lips, nodding my head in response.“I'm ready to attack, James. Once we finish dealing w
~Emerald~It feels so weird that I suddenly hesitated to something I can't explain. Alpha Killian killed my parents. He caused horrible events in my life as well to those wolves who survived. They suffered because of him. I suffered from the attack he did and death is the only way for us to achieve the justice we wanted to have. I should not hesitate in killing him. I should not feel empathy for him. This is what I need to bear in mind before meeting him. I have to prepare myself before seeing Alpha Killian because I know what could be the consequences of it. There would be one group that would rise on top, and it should be the Crescent Moon Pack. James and I will beat them down altogether.“Allison will be guiding you the way through Killian's pack because she knows the way there. She has been spying on the pack for a long time now for us to gather information about them, Alpha King,” Uncle Tobias uttered, which made me turn my head at Allison.She smiled at me and said, “I am the
~Emerald~Uncle Tobias did nothing but just cried on his bed. Allison did her best to comfort her father while I was in the corner, gritting my teeth. I just can't believe that my father's brother will do this to my parents. It's been a while since I have never seen him. If I saw him, I would never allow him to escape.He will pay for what he did to my parents and to all the innocent wolves who died during the attack. “What's the name of that f*cking Alpha?” James mumbled, making uncle Tobias turn his head towards the direction of the Alpha.He's not aware who James is, and I know he's wondering right now based on how he looked at James.“You look familiar to me. I know I have seen you once…” Uncle Tobias uttered, his eyes fixed on James.He was trying to remember the face of James. I don't know where they met, but it won't be shocking to me. Uncle Tobias was once a beta and definitely, they have seen each other before.“Dad, he's the Alpha King. The man with Emerald was her husband
~Emerald~Allison opened the door of the small cabin. My heart continued pounding as I waited for uncle Tobias to appear in front of us.“This is dad's cabin, Emerald. He preferred to stay alone and it's his request. We have a separate house, but I always came here to send his food.” Allison explained, making me nod my head.James' hand was on my waist. He's making sure that he's next to me and I didn't complain at all. I just let him do whatever he wanted.The moment Allison pushed the door, my eyes never blinked. I just don't want to skip the chance to see the face of uncle Tobias, the beta I used to talk to when I was still young.But, I never imagined our reunion to be like this. It will be different, but my respect for him will never change.“Emerald, meet my father.”Allison moved away from the door, allowing us to see the man on the bed. My eyes fixed on the thin man, lying on the bed. He's awake and looks surprised upon looking at me.I bit my lower lips, trying to keep my tea
~Emerald~Allison looks surprised from what she heard. Her gaze fixed at James, her eyes filled with different questions. I know this information shocked her.“W-Wait, you are the Alpha King?” Allison asked, her tone not sounding convinced as of the moment. “Is this true, Emerald?”I smiled from her question, making Allison even more confused as she looked at me. I know they have never seen the face of the Alpha King before because of the fact that they are hiding for a long time now. They just heard some speculations about him and now, they will be able to meet him.“I apologize for not telling you about the man beside me, Allison. Yes, he's Alpha James, the Alpha King of the entire wolves.” I muttered, making Allison gasp.Her eyes went back to James, and she started looking at him, as if she wanted to make sure that she can recognize the face of the Alpha King.After a minute of staring at James, I was surprised by what Allison did. She bent her head and spoke.“It is an honor for
~Emerald~“Where's the others, Allison?”As I recovered from crying, I immediately asked Allison about the other survivors. Allison lifted her gaze and she looked at me straight in the eyes.“After we escaped the pack, we decided to move to a place that is hard for the enemies to find out. Only the survivors knew the way out of the pack. We lived there for many years, Emerald.” Allison replied, making me nod my head.I turned my head at James and he furrowed his brows.“I want to go with Allison, James. I need to meet the other pack members of my parents who survived.” I muttered, and James nodded his head.He called one of our warriors and told them to find a spot where we could hide our cars. After that, we decided to follow Allison to their spot. It's far from the abandoned pack of my parents and this took us an hour.James was on my side as we passed the secluded woods.“They will be happy if they find out that you are alive, Emerald, especially my father. He's been thinking of yo
~Emerald~I took out my gun from my coat and pointed it towards the woman in front of me. James even prepared himself in case the woman did something to us.“And who are you?” I asked back at her.A woman standing in front of me. She looks young, and I can guess that we are the same age. I furrowed my brows as I looked at her, thinking where I met her.She's familiar to me. Her face doesn't look new in my eyes and I can prove that I really know this woman.“I should be the first one to ask this question to the both of you,” she uttered, her teeth slightly gritted. “What are you doing here?”As the woman spoke, I tried to remember her face. I'm certain about what I felt about it.“This place is already abandoned. No one lived here anymore. What brought you to this place?” James muttered, finally decided to speak up.The woman turned her head at James, her brows furrowed as she looked at him from head to toe. I was just observing the woman as I hoped I could recognize her face.I have t
~Emerald~“Are you ready to explore the abandoned pack?”I turned my head at James when he spoke behind me. We are already on our way to the said abandoned pack where my parents owned before. It was abandoned for many years and no one lived there anymore.As he mentioned that place, I suddenly felt my heart pounding so fast. I can't help but feel nervous. This will be the first time that I will see the pack again after so many years. I couldn't imagine what it looked like after everything that happened.“I don't know what I should feel, James. After so many years of not knowing what happened before, this would be the first time again that I will step on that land. I know everything will be different now.” I blurted, and he pressed my hands.“I know, but I'm here. Everything will be fine.”As James blurted these words to me, I smiled at him. He kissed the back of my hands and when he did that, all the doubts I felt just disappeared.Having him in my lowest moments really helped me to c
