~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~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~“You're overreacting, Emerald.”I was stunned when James mentioned these words to me with his cold expression. His words seemed to be piercing my heart. I just can't believe it and knowing that these words are coming from him, I felt disappointed.“You're accusing me of overreacting?” I mimic, my voice is as cold as the snow.James shut his eyes, trying to calm himself down. I can feel the frustration from his face just by how he looked at me.“Look, I'm sorry. I didn't intend to say that to you,” James uttered in a soft voice.I shook my head, stepping my feet backward as I prepared myself to leave.“If you're thinking of me as overreacting, then you just misinterpreted me. This is absolutely useless, James. Let's take a break for a moment. We wouldn't agree to each other thinking that neither of us were on good terms,” I muttered at James.He wanted to say something to me, when I turned my back away before he could even utter. Just the moment I turned my back away, I took
~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
