~Emerald~I could feel my heart skip when I heard these words from Isabella. Her words almost cut my heart into pieces. I couldn't imagine that pain she had to feel from what happened to her mom.And if there's anything I can do to ease her, it's an assurance coming from me.“I promise to save your mom, Isabella. Alpha James and I will help her escape,” I muttered, and Isabella smiled between her tears.The way her eyes sparkled after I told her my assurance, my heart almost sank in pain. Isabella reminds me of my son, Jacob. I know he will feel this if he ever loses me and his dad. This event really taught me to keep going.I have a million reasons to keep fighting and one of them is my son. There's no way I would allow him to suffer from the pain of losing his parents.“Thank you so much, Luna Emerald. You don't know what this means to me. I missed my mom so much. She was gone for a month already,” Isabella uttered, making me look at Raven.Raven bent his head down as if he couldn't
~Emerald~“No one from us will die, James. Our son wouldn't lose his parents, and we will make sure of that.”These are the words I assured James. He looked at me straight in the eyes, his lips curled into a smile.James grabbed my hand, pulling me near his lap. I didn't complain as I sat above his legs.“Of course, no one from us will die. If there's someone who should die, it's our enemies and not us,” James uttered in his serious tone.I nodded my head in agreement to what he said.“We should be—”As I was about to respond to him, I just felt James pulling me away. The next thing I know, we are already on the floor. I was stunned in my direction from what happened, my head turned at James.“W-What's wrong?” I asked him.Instead of answering me, James let go of me to check something. I followed my eyes to him, and then I just felt my mouth widened from what I saw.“An arrow?” I asked, while looking at the dark area in front of our room.James grip the arrow tightly, his eyes fixed t
~Emerald~I just felt my mouth widened as I saw James come out from the woods. He was with a man, but they seemed not on good terms, which made me realize that this might be his capture.I tilted my gaze, looking back at Raven whose attention was already at James. The way his jaw clenched, I know Raven tried his best to control his anger as his eyes diverted to the man beside Alpha James.“Do you know that man, Alpha Raven?” I asked him.Raven gritted his teeth, his fists clenched when he heard my question to him.“Yes, I know him, Luna Emerald. I never expected to see him here,” Raven replied.I furrowed my brows, still staring at Raven as I couldn't help but feel confused about what could be in Raven's mind.“Who is he, Raven?” I muttered.Alpha Raven took out a deep breath. He's about to respond to me when James has already reached our direction. My attention is diverted to James when he speaks.“I brought your spy friend, Alpha Raven. It's been a while that he's betraying you,” Ja
~Emerald~“Baby, wake up…”As I heard this voice, I couldn't help but open my eyes. The face of the Alpha King is what I saw the moment I opened my eyes.I blink several times to take away the sleepiness out of my body. James stayed in his position while waiting for me to speak.“Is there something wrong, James?” I asked, staring at him with my furrowed brows.He let out a deep breath before answering me. As I noticed the reaction from his face, I couldn't help but feel nervous. Seems like something is not right.“We are under attack, Emerald,” James blurted, his reaction remaining indifferent.I just felt my mouth widened as I heard these words from him, my heart pounded so fast.“Wait…” I paused, still trying to analyze James' words from earlier. “You mean, we're under attack now!?”James nodded his head and told me to lower my voice. Suddenly, my attention diverted to the veranda when I heard some howling from outside. I looked at James, confusion written all over my face.“Everyon
~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
~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~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~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~“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
