~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~“Gideon, what do you mean?” I still couldn't believe what I heard from Gideon. He was also interested in killing Alpha Nikolai just for me, but…Why? Why did Gideon want to do this?‘Maybe the Alpha does not like the idea that James will kill Nikolai for you. He also wanted to prove to you that he can do it by himself.’My breath almost took away after Lilian spoke out. I was also thinking about what she meant, and my wolf might be correct. Gideon just didn't want James to use this request I made for James to come near me. “You surprised me, Gideon,” James uttered in disbelief. “I didn't expect that you would also be interested in bringing Nikolai's head. This is a request of Emerald for me. She doesn't tell you to do it for her.”I froze from my direction. The way James was saying these words, it's as if he wanted to trigger Gideon. I was nervous about where this would take the two of them. I am afraid that they might be fighting because of me.“I don't need Emerald to te
~Emerald~I found it difficult to close my eyes that night as my mind was with Gideon and James. They had finally started their search and I don't know what happened to the both of them now. My instruction is clear that they have to be here the next morning with Nikolai's head.I can't stop thinking about who from them could slaughter Nikolai, but I ready myself for that. I don't have a choice. After all, I was the one who made this challenge. I should accept the result.I woke up early the next morning to start my day with a short training. The newbies were now in the field. Natalia was already there. I walked straight in front to talk to her.“Natalia,” I called her name. “Can we talk for a moment?”She nodded her head in response. We look for a perfect place to talk to. I just want to know if she already saw James. I wanted to know how she feels now.“I heard Alpha James is here,” Natalia uttered, her attention in the other direction.I let out a deep sigh before answering. “Yes, a
~Emerald~My heart keeps on pounding so fast while walking to where Gideon is. He was finally back from the search for Nikolai's head, and I was expecting him to bring the head to me. However, my world almost stumbled down knowing that Gideon hadn't found it.“I didn't make it, Emerald,” Gideon said, his voice filled with disappointment. I let out a sigh and held his hands. Gideon doesn't need to feel dismayed about not making it.“Don't worry about it. Nothing will change, even if you didn't find it. Now, this time, we should wait for James. I just hope he couldn't find it as well.” Gideon just looked at me. His eyes were still sad and I know the feeling. I know he was desperate to have the head of Alpha Nikolai, but this is what it is. We couldn't do anything about it. Maybe the rumors from earlier were not real. If Gideon didn't find Nikolai, I believe James does not, but he's still not there. We are still waiting for him to let us know if he had it.I was already nervous while
~Emerald~I leave immediately after saying some threatening words to James. He would never have the chance to come close to me again, I swear!“You are not sure. Alpha James would be staying here, remember?”I rolled my eyes towards Lilian. “Then, I'll make him regret choosing to stay here.”Lilian just shook her head, while I let out a sigh. I went back to the cabin to compose myself. I just needed some strength before going out to face the wolves again and before facing him and to complete my relaxation, I have decided to close my eyes. It was already six in the evening when I woke up. My stomach growls, so I immediately prepare some food to eat before visiting Cassandra's cabin.I was already in the middle of my work when my eyes noticed something from the window. My brows were furrowed when I opened it up, and my eyes widened when I saw his face. The face of the man who ruined my life a year ago, and he's living in that cabin next to me.The cabin of Alpha James was actually near
~Emerald~“If you're the neighbor…” I paused, staring at him deep in his eyes. “I would rather die alone without asking any help from you.”James was surprised to hear these words from me. He did not say anything and I know because he didn't expect it. I know he still can't believe that a weak wolf like me would become like this. ‘Those are savaging words, Emerald!’ I just smirked at Lilian's words. She can't still believe me saying those words towards the Alpha King.“At least, you have an attractive neighbor,” James responded, not bothered about my words from earlier. I gritted my teeth in annoyance. This conversation would end in nothing. I will just hate him more, so I made up my mind to go back to my cabin. However, I was surprised when I noticed Gideon coming into my way. He was wearing his cold and dark aura. I know his eyes were at James, who was behind me.“Did he do something to you, Emerald?” Gideon asked when he reached my direction. I immediately shook my head and st
~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
