~Emerald~“You are pregnant, Luna Emerald.”My heart beats so fast again when I remember these words from the pack doctor. She just informed me about my pregnancy. A pregnancy that I can't wait to tell my husband about.Alpha James, the new Alpha King of Crescent Moon Pack was my husband. We got married almost a year ago and now I could still recall that very moment when my life had changed. It was just a forced marriage. We both agreed on the name of our packs.As time goes by, I have formed feelings for him. A feeling that I know I am scared of telling him. James and I were not real mates. He hasn't found his real mate yet. We have agreed that once he finds her, he will leave me. He would reject our marriage and I can have my freedom.I agreed at first, but after a year of being together, I have learned that I can't lose him. I can't give him to anyone, especially now that he will become a father to our child. He has no idea about my pregnancy and I can't wait to tell him about it.
~Emerald~On that same evening, everyone was called to introduce the newly found mate of Alpha James. This would be so painful for me to think that my husband of almost a year, the father of my child will abandon me for his newly found mate. But what can I do about it? Even though it's painful, I have to face this. I have to face them and show everyone what I've got for Alpha James to consider me. The child was my last hope for Alpha James to keep me. Everyone will know the child that I was carrying tonight when Alpha James introduced his mate in front of the wolves.“Are you sure you have to do this?”My wolf, Lilian, spoke through my head. I nodded my head and looked at myself in the mirror for the last time before going to the venue.“I will do this for my child.” Lilian just takes out a deep sigh. She didn't speak anymore as I left the room to follow everyone at the venue.It feels so hard to step my legs with my body trembling. My tears were about to streamed down once again bu
“I, the Alpha King of this pack, reject you, Emerald Howard as my wife. Therefore, Katie, my fated mate will replace your position as my wife and the Luna of this pack.”Everyone listened as the rejection began. I was stunned in my direction. I wanted to leave and run away but my legs were paralyzed. My eyes don't want to leave Alpha James as he rejected me in front of everyone, in front of the wolves I used to love and served for many years.He continued. “With the power vested upon me, my decision is irrevocable.” After I heard those words from my husband, I pushed myself to stand up even though I am still in pain. Tears kept on falling from my eyes as I walked near them. I don't care what they will think of me. I don't care what Alpha James will do to me because what's important for me is I have done something to keep him. My legs folded as I kneeled in front of them. Commotions happened because of what I did. Alpha James and his mate, Katie were staring at me.“Please, don't do
~Emerald~Being desperate wasn't in my vocabulary but thinking about losing the man I love and losing the father of my child, I am willing to be one. I can sacrifice everything if it means bringing my family back. I won't let anyone ruin the family I cared about. I will not hesitate to do everything I could just to stop those who dared to ruin the family I built.Today, I woke up so early despite the pain I went through last night. Alpha James didn't throw me away from his Mansion but we're no longer living in the same room. Katie was with him all night and thinking about them made me hurt so badly.“What's your plan now?”I was walking the hall when my wolf, Lilian, spoke up. I let out a deep sigh and wiped the tears from my eyes as it started streaming down again.“I don't know, Lilian…” I uttered, almost breaking again. “I don't know what else to do, but let's see.”I heard my wolf let out a sigh at the back of my head. She didn't say anything because she already knew me. Lilian do
~Emerald~Alpha James grasped my arm and he began dragging me out of the house. I wasn't able to speak up again because of what he did. He pushed me outside, making me fall to the ground.“And you really think you can fool me again?”I cried. I can't believe James to be this heartless. He didn't believe me. He thought I was lying but I will not do that to him.“I am not lying to you, James. I am carrying your child and you have to believe me, please…” I begged again, but James was anxious.He pointed his finger at me, his face covered with anger now. I can see it based on how he looked at me. “I don't love you, Emerald. I don't want you in my life. You better leave the pack or else I will imprison you in the dungeon for disobeying the rule of the Alpha King. You should be thankful that I still consider you as my wife. I still consider our memories together that's why I let you stay after I rejected you but what you did to my mate made me think that you should be thrown out here.” Ja
~Emerald~It was Alpha Gideon. He was Alpha James' step-brother. The Alpha who was also feared by many, but has no effect on Alpha James. I was still in shock, knowing that he arrived at exactly where I was about to die. He rescued me before these evils succeeded in killing me.“Why did my brother want to kill you?” His deep baritone voice sent shivers through my body. I gulped, and couldn't form even a single word. Despite that, I still try my best to speak. “A-Alpha James wanted to kill me because he finally found his mate. He…He threw me out of the pack,” I uttered in between tears. The things that happened to me from earlier were still fresh in my head. I don't know how to move on to this. I don't know how to forget all of these. Everything James did to me, it's stabbing my heart a million times.Alpha Gideon who just heard my words tilted his head. He crossed his arms, still looking at me.“Why would my step-brother do that to you?” He asked in his cold voice. I bit my bottom
~Emerald~“What will you get by helping me, Alpha Gideon?”As I asked him this question, I didn't look away. I intend to focus my attention on him to see what could be his reaction.A smirk written on his lips. He moved away, putting his hands in both sides of pant's pockets. I can't stop looking at him as he does that in front of my face.His scent. I could smell power, mystery, and darkness. Above all, I couldn't smell danger despite the speculations I have heard from the Crescent Moon Pack. The moment he saved me at the forest, I had proven that he's not bad by how others perceived him. He's the opposite of what others tell.“Alpha James and I were mortal enemies, even though we came from the same families. His father was my mother's husband before, but it didn't change the fact that we treated each other as nemesis. I have been trying to put him down to stop his wrong leadership as the Alpha King, and I will never stop, not until I beat him down. There is someone who deserves to b
~Emerald~Time flies so fast that I could not even imagine. I already gave birth to my son, which is Alpha James' child. He's already three months old and all the terrible things that happened to me in the past were worth it after I saw his face.My child gave me hope to continue life. He was the reason I needed to do things that would keep him in this world. As a mother, I will do everything I can to protect him even if I have to risk my life. I will never allow James to see him and now is the time for me to strike back. Alpha Gideon has been with me during my nine months of pregnancy until I gave birth. He helped me move forward, start a life, and forget about the terrible things I experienced before. Alpha Gideon has been so kind-hearted to me, and he welcomed me in his pack even if I came from his enemy pack. It does not matter to him if I was once his step-brother's wife.I am forever grateful to him. It's my time to shine. Alpha Gideon and the rest of the wolves here in this pa
~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
~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
