~Emerald~“I am ready to leave, Alpha James!”It was Christopher who just arrived and seeing his posture, I know he's coming with us.“Let's go,” James uttered to us.I nodded my head in response and turned my head back to Levi for some reminders.“Please watch over my son, Beta Levi,” I muttered to him.Levi nodded, “Don't worry, Jacob will be safe with me. I will never allow anything to happen to him.”I smiled at Levi after he assured me that. At this moment, I turned my attention back to James.We didn't waste time anymore as time was running so fast. James reminds his warriors before we leave the pack that we have to kill Harold's warriors to their hideout and spare the innocent one who doesn't fight with us.I was glad that James still worried about the innocent wolves. After all, they had nothing to do with this attack. We are only targeting the evil ones.“I do hope that I will find the killers of my parents. If I learned that they are from that pack, I swear I will make them
~Emerald~It just feels so good to know that James had trust in me. His encouragement really made me feel motivated and that I can do it. I know to myself right now that I can do this because my husband, the Alpha King trusted me.“Let's do it together, James,” I blurted to him.James nodded his head in response, a smile formed on his lips. He hugged me for one last time before we continued walking.We are still in the middle of the forest, but it's been an hour already. I could already feel that we are getting closer to the hideout that the spy of James had mentioned to him.Minutes passed by, James suddenly blurted.“We're in front of the border of their hideout. Get ready because I noticed wolves are waiting for us!” James reminded his team, and I just listened to him.I took out my gun as I will use this for now if the bullet's gone, then I will allow Lilian to show them what Luna can do.“Don't worry, Alpha James. We can handle them because we are with the Alpha King.”These word
~Emerald~I saw with my two eyes how James clenched his jaw. He did his best to control himself in front of these wolves, but I know that he could no longer control himself.“Who killed a mortal here?”I was stunned when I heard Christopher's voice. He asked this to Beta Kayden the moment he approached us.Beta Kayden turned his attention to Christopher and then he smirked. I suddenly felt my heart skip when something crossed my head.“So, it was you who was with the mortal…” Kayden uttered, making my mouth widened.I can feel my heart pounding so fast as I suddenly realize something. Maybe they are behind the death of Christopher's parents.“Who killed them!?” Christopher screamed in his angry tone.He's about to attack the enemies when James stops him.Beta Kayden burst out laughing and this made me gritted my teeth in anger. My instincts are strong about them. They killed Christopher's new family.“I was the one who killed them, according to the order of Alpha Harold. He told us th
~Emerald~As I heard how thankful Christopher was towards James, I couldn't stop myself from smiling so widely. I am so happy for Christopher that he finally got the justice he's been looking for.He already found out the killer of his parents and now, he has given them justice. I wished that after this, James would find out about his father.“It's not a problem, Christopher. Let's go home now because I wanted to rest. My wife has to rest,” James responded to Christopher and he nodded his head.At this moment, James told his warriors to guide the new members of the pack because they are coming with us tonight. Alpha James was holding my hand as we walked the way back to the pack.An hour later, we finally arrived at the Crescent Moon Pack, and we found numerous wolves waiting for us. I know that they smelled the new members of the pack, which made them get out of their houses.Levi approached us, his face was asking about what happened with our mission. Alpha James stepped forward for
~Emerald~The next morning, I woke up early knowing that I was already alone in bed. I looked around, and then I heard the water dropping inside the bathroom.Alpha James is taking a bath, so I decided to get up and wear my clothes back. I bit my lower lips when I suddenly remembered what just happened last night. Fortunately, no one passes in the hallway.“Good morning. How was the sleep of my wife?”I turned my head at the bathroom's door when James spoke. My eyes diverted into his six-pack abs, and I couldn't help but to bite my lower lips. He just finished taking a bath.“You take a bath alone. Why didn't you tell me?” I asked, my face looked disappointed.James let out a soft chuckle. He walked in my direction and sat above the bed.“I didn't wake you up because you're sleeping so peacefully. Of course, I want you to have a good sleep because I know how tiring what we did earlier,” he explained, making my face blush.“But, you should—”Just before I could finish my sentence, some
~Emerald~“Is something wrong?”This is what I asked the both of them, which made them look back on me.“We just can't believe that someone so close to Alpha James would betray him all this time. Alpha Harold even pretended that he's a kind-hearted Alpha, but it's really not,” Katie uttered.A deep breath escaped out of my throat after listening to what Katie had uttered.“That's reality in our world. We really don't know who our allies are. It's not safe to trust someone outside the pack in our direction,” Cassandra muttered.I nodded my head to agree with her. Cassandra has a point.“We still trust them, but we have to watch them closely. We need to make sure that they are trustworthy for the sake of everyone living in this pack. However, we should not worry because James will make sure that the incident last time will never happen again. We're thankful that we captured Harold earlier, and he hasn't started his dark plans for this pack.”My friends nodded their heads from what I hav
~Emerald~James never stopped making my heart pound so fast. If he wants to say something to me, he doesn't care where we are.“Stop fooling me, James. We are still in the celebration and a lot of eyes are watching us,” I mumbled in a whisper to him.He let out a soft chuckle after hearing what I had said. James pressed my waist while we continued walking. The other wolves are still talking about us, but I never pay attention to it anymore.I focused my attention on those faces in the middle, where we were heading. They are not familiar to me, and I am so sure that I haven't been here before.“Whatever happens, you are not going to leave me, okay?” James whispered.I suddenly felt my heart pounding because I noticed his tone suddenly became suspicious.“Is something wrong, James?” I asked him.James let out a deep and heavy sigh before he responded to me.“I felt something different,” he uttered in his low voice.My heart skipped beating as I heard these words from him. I narrowed my
~Emerald~“What is it?”James was furrowing his brows when he asked this to Alpha Raven. I was only observing them and waiting for Raven to answer James.“I know that I owe you something for saving my life before, and it's my time to return the favor to you, Alpha James. My warrior informed me that the Alpha of this pack prepared a trap for you. You have to leave here now,” Alpha Raven uttered in his low voice.James tilted his head, his jaw clenched when he heard those words from Alpha Raven. He even narrowed his eyes, making me follow his stare.“Are you telling the truth, Alpha Raven?” James clarified to the Alpha, and he nodded his head in response.“I have no reason to lie with you, Alpha. You saved my life and as payment for your kindness, I need to tell you about it. The truth is, there's so much information I wanted to tell, but this is not the right place. We can talk about this one if you let me bring you to our pack,” Raven offered to James.James glared at Raven for a mome
~Emerald~The colors of his eyes changed into something darker. His ocean blue eyes turned dark golden brown can make everyone tremble when they see it. This is not the usual eye colors of James when he's about to change into his wolf form. It's usually golden brown but now, it has become darker.“They killed my child.”The way he mentioned these words, it filled me with rage. I know exactly what will happen next, and I am glad that James has finally returned. I wasn't alone in saving this pack. We can save all of them together.“Let's end them, James. They are still here and I know they are waiting for us. I can feel their presence.” I uttered.James turned his head in my direction. He let out a deep and heavy breath when he looked at me. After staring at me, James had finally calmed down.“You stay in here. I will deal with them.”James turned his body away, preparing to leave. I grit my teeth and took out a deep sigh before speaking up. I will not allow him to leave me here. This b
~Emerald~The hope in my heart started to disappear as there was no hint of change from James. He looked so mad while he kept looking at me. I can see it from his eyes. Although he screamed at first, he turned back into his normal expression again. He started stomping his feet in my direction, making me step forward. I couldn't read whatever was in his mind right now. James is hard to predict. “I did love you?” He sneered, still stepping into my direction. I gulped at him, my heart continued pounding so fast. I never stopped stepping on my feet until he finally cornered me. My back hit the hard cement, while James is already an inch away from me. The pounding of my heart continues, and James is still sneering as he grabs my hand.“Answer me…” He muttered, his tone seems so cold until now. “Did I say I loved you?” My mouth agape as I looked at him deep into his eyes. It feels weird. The hard reaction from his face earlier suddenly softened. “What are—” Just before I could contin
~Emerald~The shape-shifter didn't expect what Lilian did to her. She jumped into her direction, making her stunned. As she was about to react, Lilian attacked her with her long claws. She fell on the ground, her breathing became heavy as she looked at me. Lilian smirked, shutting her with a piercing look. “Where's your courage earlier, Shape-shifter?” Lilian mumbled at her. “Do you think you can kill me with that!?” She answered, and prepared herself to stand up. However, Lilian blocked her way, making her stop from her attempt to get up. “Emerald mentioned earlier that she wanted to kill you slowly, but we are running out of time. You have to die now for being the reason for her miscarriage and for putting her loved ones at risk. Say goodbye to your kind now, Shape-shifter.” After Lilian said these words, she targeted the shape-shifter to her heart, causing her death to be easy. The woman is already dead and now covered with blood. At this point, Lilian turned back. I was alre
~Emerald~The person behind Althea's identity showed her face to me. I felt my mouth widened upon seeing her real face. She is not familiar to me, and I am certain that I have never met her before.“Are you amazed how good we are?” She smirked, a sneer forming her lips.I gritted my teeth and asked, “I wasn't amazed by your face. I just wondered what we did to you for doing all of this. How on earth did you make the Alpha King follow you!?”When she heard me speak, she started laughing as if those words were the funniest statement she ever heard in her life. I could feel my blood boil in rage because of her.“I bet you knew your husband that well? He wouldn't become the most fearful of wolves for nothing, and he wouldn't have his position if he never attacked anyone before,” she answered curtly.I pressed my lips together, while looking at her straight in the eyes. I don't know her name yet, and there's no point in knowing it. She will die anyway.“Of course, I know him. James would n
~Emerald~A sneer formed on my lips after my vision showed me what actually happened. It's been a while that my vision never showed me anything. Starting from that moment when Althea arrived at the surprise party that James prepared for me, he was already being used by a spell to his drink.My vision never showed me who's behind this but one thing I knew for sure. Whoever was behind James' spell, she's so powerful that she was able to make him follow every word she said.The reason James left me after I helped Althea was actually her command and the cause of my severe bleeding. All the painful words, the blaming, and his weird actions were not James' will. My husband would never do this to me, to us. He promised me that whatever happens, his love for me would never disappear.And I was so stupid for believing the receivers who are controlling them now. I was so stupid for not knowing it early. Damn it!‘I'm sorry, Emerald. I failed to know about this as well. If I just had the ability
~Emerald~“Who are you!?”I screamed in anger toward the voice in my head. I don't know how he got in here and what he wanted from me.“It's not necessary for you to find out about who I am. You should be thinking about your husband having fun while you were there, crying and blaming yourself.” I grit my teeth as these words flashes into my mind. My hands clenched, anger started boiling within me. I glanced at the door and then back to the cabinet where guns are. I could feel my eyes start to darken, while my heart became numb. All the things that James did to me after my miscarriage and the way he treated me differently, I would never let that pass. I will teach him a lesson. A lesson that would wake him up that I will not be kind every day.“That's right, Emerald. Kill him and if you can, also kill your friends. They abandon you at loss, while they are having fun.”I sneered, after hearing these words and now, I started stepping my feet away from the room. Seems like my drunkennes
~Emerald~I went back inside the house, still with my dark reaction. All the things that James uttered to me still flashing back into my head. I couldn't forget it. Seems like it's making my blood boil.“Emerald!”I suddenly stopped from walking when I heard James' voice. He followed me and now looked at me in his dangerous reaction. Behind him were our friends. Cassandra looked at me with worries written on her face. She walked towards me to take Jacob away from us.“I'll be there for you, Emerald,” Cassandra whispered.I just glanced at her and didn't say anything. Cassandra couldn't do anything to fight against James. I know she will stay neutral because James was still the Alpha King.‘Emerald, stop. You're thinking negatively!’ Lilian complained, but I just shook her away.My heart started to numb as to what they are doing to me. I still remember how they walked away, leaving me alone in the garden. I f*cking bleed, and it was the reason that I lost my child.“What do you want, J
~Emerald~One week had passed by for me to fully recover from my miscarriage. In that whole week, I have never found James' anymore. He never checked on me and didn't even sleep with me. Even if it's painful, I manage to calm myself because I know his anger towards me is reasonable.He was still blaming me for my miscarriage. I never ever wanted to have a miscarriage. It just happened so fast and now, many things have happened.Althea was released from her cell. I heard that she was released by James and good for her because she had finally changed. Althea always visited me in my room, asking me how I feel, and she even asked for forgiveness.Althea also blamed herself with my miscarriage, but she should not. It has nothing to do with her. I have never regretted the kindness I showed her.Today, it's the very first moment I will be showing my face to everyone. Life must go on even though it's still so painful on me. I still have my son and Jacob needed his mother back. He needed more
~Emerald~Those words that Cassandra had uttered did a strike into my heart. I could feel my heart stop beating for a moment, while my tears kept streaming down my eyes several times.“You're kidding me, right?” I mumbled, still can't believe what just Cassandra had told me.However, Cassandra never laughed. She looked at me, her eyes filled with sadness. That was when I started sobbing when I realized that she's not joking at all.I felt so numb. I couldn't move my body as I felt like I was getting stuck on the bed. This information she told me seems like a sharp knife, slowly cutting my whole body.“I'm sorry, Emerald. This is what the doctor had said. You have a severe bleeding, which became the reason for you to lose your child. She did her best to help you not to lose it, but she failed. The pack doctor explained to us even before you bleed, you already had a problem with your uterus. The baby's hold in your womb is just so weak.” Cassandra explained.Every word she let out was l
