~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
