~Emerald~As we reached the place, I was surprised to see Althea. She was already standing in front of Emma and Anthony's body. The moment she noticed our presence, she turned around. I just felt my heartbeat start pounding so fast, while looking at her.“James, I'm sorry for your loss. I didn't expect that Emma and Anthony would be gone,” Althea uttered, making me so confused.I wasn't expecting that she knew about the couple. How did she find out about them?“Yeah, they were taken so early, and it's because of the enemies,” James responded in his casual tone.I furrowed my brows while looking at Althea. Curiosity won't leave my head now. I just couldn't believe that she knew the couple's name thinking that she's a human being.“How did you know them?” I asked directly.James and Althea turned their attention to me. Almost one minute had passed by before Althea answered my question.“James told me about them when he's visiting me at the bar. He used to tell how kind they are, and I h
~Emerald~Katie steps forward to where Althea is. Her expression is as dark as the night while looking at her. I know she was annoyed with Althea's words and I can't believe that girl. She loves fighting us.“What's your problem about that?” Katie asked, her tone is already threatening.Cassandra meddled, trying to calm Katie, while I stayed in my direction. I will not do anything and let Katie teach this woman a lesson. She's being so arrogant and seems like she has forgotten that she's living in our world.I know Katie. She won't allow anyone to degrade her, and she will fight, no matter what happens. I won't get affected because of what happened to us in the past. It's already in the past, and we're friends now. Katie already asked forgiveness from me and Althea just did the wrong thing.“What? I was telling the truth. I have known you as James' ex-wife before. He kept telling me about you and how much he hated you,” Althea uttered, and it seems like she doesn't even care about wha
~Emerald~“Katie, don't blame yourself. None of us should be blamed here. It was Althea who started it.”As I mentioned these words to her, everyone is looking at me. My brows furrowed as well in disbelief.“That's what I wanted to talk to the three of you. I guess you already knew the reason that we should be nice with her,” James interrupted in his calmed tone.I looked at him, my forehead held up high. I could even feel my head start to spin, but I managed not to.“Yes, we're aware of that, James. We knew that we have to be nice with her because she's our visitor here but you should also put in mind that we can't tolerate her actions. She's testing our patience!” I exclaimed, and James nodded his head.“I know, but we should be the ones to understand her. We are already working for her to come back to her world. It's dangerous if we keep her here for longer.” James explained to us.I let out a sigh, crossing my arms as I looked at James. Everyone listened as tension began between J
~Emerald~After talking to Althea, I left her to go to my room. An hour passed by, James followed me. We talked and of course, he won over me again. Just because I loved him, and I wasn't mad at all, I forgive him. James and I decided to stay in the room until darkness has fully covered the pack. We came out to the room to eat the dinner that we prepared earlier. As we reached the kitchen, we never wasted any time and ate it.Just when we are about to leave the kitchen, Levi suddenly arrives, bringing the information he got for the Alpha King. “We found the hunter's location, Alpha James,” Levi said, making me smirk. As I looked at James, I found him smiling already. It was a relief expression that he could move now on finding Gideon. “Great. Prepare the car, and we're going there as soon as possible.” James ordered his beta and he nodded his head. After Levi disappeared from our sight, he turned his eyes on me. That was when his smile disappeared as it was replaced by worries.
~Emerald~“I'll zip my mouth, I swear!”I only shook my head at Althea and focused on the road. Despite how much I hate it here now, I don't have a choice. We couldn't ruin our plans just by sending her off and whatever happens to her later for coming with us, that's no longer our problem.James pressed my hand, making me look at him. The expression on his face convinced me that everything will be alright and there's nothing I should be worried about. As I trusted him, I will never do something.“Let's stop the car here, Alpha James. Beta Levi told us the exact location. Our car couldn't enter the area,” Luca explained, grabbing our attention to him.“Okay, let's walk the way here, Luca. Just keep your senses active. We have to be extra careful, okay?” James responded to him, and Luca nodded in response.We decided to get out of the car. James assisted me. Althea followed us and as I looked at her, she's determined to obey us. I shook my head because of her actions now. If she just ne
~Emerald~I wrapped my hands around James' neck and welcomed his lips with love. The kiss lasted for one minute and after that, he let go of me. Just before we left the pack, James gave me another kiss on my forehead.As I turned my head at Althea, she was looking at us with her serious expression. But, when she found me looking at her, she smiled innocently.I just shook my head not minding her anymore. We all continued our walks until we finally saw the hideout of the hunters. The moment we stepped on their border, we suddenly were surrounded by numerous hunters.I was stunned, pointing my guns in their direction. Althea also did the same thing while James and his warriors remained not bothered.“What is the Alpha King doing in our place?”A male baritone voice echoed in the forest, making us look at him. My brows furrowed seeing a middle-aged man, surrounded by his hunters who were ready to attack with just one command.James stepped forward, facing that middle-aged man. I furrowed
~Emerald~A sigh of relief escaped from my throat as Matthew agreed easily. I'm happy that our mission of being here is not bloody. We don't have to use violence just to convince them.“It might be easy to you but your mission is not an ordinary wolf. He's great at escaping and once you find their location, you have to tell me about it as soon as possible because we will attack them before they could even move into a new place.” James mumbled at Matthew and the smile on his face disappeared.He looked at James, his expression looking confused.“What's the name of your step-brother, Alpha James?” Matthew asked, and James glared at him for a moment.“His name is Gideon.”Matthew stood up from his chair when James mentioned Gideon's name. I couldn't help but look at Matthew with my eyes glistened with confusion.Seeing the reaction from Matthew's face, this tells me that he really knows who Gideon is.“That f*cking asshole is your step-brother, Alpha James?” Matthew asked, and James nodd
~Emerald~“That was true, but despite their numbers, only one person captured the Alpha's heart, and it was Luna Emerald.”I couldn't help but smirk a little when Matthew uttered these words to Althea. The woman smiled, but behind it hides what she truly felt. She may be good at hiding feelings, but not with me.I won't be given a vision ability for nothing.“Yes, I agree with that. Long live to James and Emerald.” Althea replied.Matthew was about to speak again when James decided to interrupt.“Let's focus on eating because time is running. We have to go back to the pack before morning,” James uttered, and we all nodded our heads in response.At this point, we focus ourselves on eating the foods until we're done. We are now preparing to leave and Matthew accompanies us to the border.“You can count me, Alpha James. I will start the mission as soon as possible.” Matthew uttered, assuring James that he will fulfill his promise to him.James nodded his head in agreement and this time,
~Emerald~I felt my forehead arched as I looked into the woman's face. When she mentioned those words to me, her expression softened, worries were evident on her face.“What do you mean?” I murmured, not breaking my eyes away from her.“Yes, you heard it clearly, Luna. We need the Alpha's help. Our pack has been occupied by the enemies, and they imprisoned my Alpha father. I have no one else to call for help until the Alpha King flashes into my mind.”I furrowed my brows while listening to what the woman is telling me right now. Seeing her react like that, I knew for a moment that she's telling the truth. It was true that she came here to ask for help, and to talk to James. If she is really from Gideon's group, I know she already forced me out.“Who did conquer your father's pack?” I asked seriously, and then she let out a deep breath.The woman turned her body away and didn't speak for about a minute.“They said, it's Gideon's followers.”I could feel my heart skip a bit after hearin
~Emerald~After talking, James and I finally decided to go to the interrogation area to see the warriors who just betrayed us. While on our way, I couldn't help but grit my teeth thinking about them. We really couldn't believe that there are still enemies to our pack despite the intensive security that we have here. Seems like Gideon is just so desperate to bring us down.“I think you need to go back inside now, Baby,” James mumbled, right in front of the door of the interrogation center.I couldn't help but to furrow my brows while looking at him.“But why? I needed to see them and I also wanted to hear from them how on earth they betrayed us,” I explained, and he held my hands tightly.“Yes, I know, but I don't want you to worry about this anymore. I know they will not admit where Gideon is even if we killed them. But we are not going to end their lives until they surrender and tell us where the f*ck is Gideon's hideout.” James stated.I let out a sigh and thought about it. I'm also
~Emerald~I let go of hugging James after I heard what he just told me. Shocked was already written on my face when I looked at him.“Wait, what?” I mumbled at him.He smiled, and pinched my nose. I met his gaze and when I looked at him, I could not find any fear from him. This just proved that James doesn't worry about Gideon.“Stop worrying about Gideon. He's not letting anyone kill him because he's waiting for me, Baby. Gideon wanted us to face each other. It all started between the two of us and only the two of us can end this war. Therefore, you need to relax and don't worry that much about his presence,” James explained.I know he just doesn't want me to worry about him and I understand him. James only wanted to keep me safe, so he has to make me believe that everything is alright, but it's actually not.I love him, and I know he will get worried about me if I push to kill Gideon myself. James needed strong support from his loved ones and if he's telling the truth that Gideon wa
~Emerald~Ares failed to stop me from showing off myself to Gideon. I am finally in front of them now and Gideon turned his head at me. His eyes widened and he stepped back.“Emerald,” he mumbled to my name.I couldn't help but smirk upon meeting his gaze.“It's been a long time since we last saw each other, Gideon. I thought you were dead.” I muttered to him, but he just smirked.The warriors who betrayed us moved beside Gideon. Shocks were written to their faces now as they saw us here.“A person like me will never die easily. I have nine lives just like cats.” Gideon responded between his smirk.I shook my head, my gun still pointing at him. Ares was already next to me. He's carefully watching our enemies, preparing himself if ever they did a sudden attack.“You're alone, Emerald? Where's your asshole husband? I was expecting him to always be with you, but…” Gideon paused, his eyes turned at Ares. “You were with someone else.”I tilted my head, my lips still curled into a smirk as
~Emerald~“I'm fine, Cass. I just have something important to do.”After saying these words at Cassandra, I turned away. Cassandra called me but I never looked back. I just wanted to keep a distance from James. He needed space, and I've understood that he doesn't want to talk to me as of now.I don't have any idea where my legs are taking me now. My mind was too preoccupied that I never noticed I was already in the dark area of the pack.I just realized it late.“What the hell?” I murmured, upon realizing that.I was about to step my feet away when my eyes suddenly captured something. My brows furrowed as I focused my attention on them and then my teeth clenched.I know something is not right with them. They were talking about something and I stepped forward to listen to what they are talking now.“We have to move faster now. The King is waiting for us. We need to bring Luna to him before the attack happens.”These wolves who are talking in the dark area of the pack were familiar to m
~Emerald~I get my husband, but this is not the moment for us to fight each other. We only have a very short time to deal with Gideon. It's better if we focus all of our attention to find him.“James, calmed down. I already told you about it. It's not Ares' intention. He doesn't know about it at all, so please—listen to me,” I begged.James turned his head at me, his eyes still covered with darkness. I could feel my heart skip a bit while staring at him. James may be tough, but he still has a heart.I know he will listen to me and after a minute of holding Ares, James loosened his grip until he released him. A deep sigh escaped out of my throat, knowing that he listened.“You're grateful that my wife still defended you, Ares. Just so you know, I don't care whoever you are if you did something to my wife,” James murmured at Ares.I bit my lower lips, holding his hand.“That's enough, James. Ares has nothing to do with my outburst. It was my choice. We were just talking earlier when I b
~Emerald~I'm not weak, nor will I get affected by any of my predictions. It was just a mere prediction that can still be changed.But the question is…Is there really a way to change that? Am I powerful enough to prevent whatever I've seen to happen in the near future? Can I still stop the destiny of the Alpha King?And right now, I really don't know. I feel so weak every time I think of James' destiny. His destiny to die in the hands of Gideon and knowing that he's still alive now made me so worried.As I was thinking about that moment where I first predicted James' destiny, my body started trembling in fear. I don't want that to happen. I will not give up the father of my son and the same man who made my heart pound.They say destiny can't be changed, but I'll make history. I will rewrite James' destiny and I will do everything I could to prevent him from dying. Gideon will not succeed. We have to kill him before the prediction comes into reality.And with that thought, I feel calm
~Emerald~When Ares heard those words from me, he just sighed. He even looked at me as if he wanted to read my expression.“Today is the regular visit of those wolves living here, Luna Emerald. Would you like to join me?”I furrowed my brows upon hearing these words from him and narrowed my eyes, hoping to see James. However, I couldn't find him anywhere. But I am certain that he's busy as well with his responsibility, especially now that they have to start looking for Gideon's whereabouts.I have nothing else to do but wait for James and also, I have a responsibility to this pack. I'm their Luna, and it's part of my job to check what the members are doing here.“That would be great, Ares. I am willing to help you.” I responded at Ares.He just chuckled and told me to follow him. Ares brought two of his warriors through our visitations towards the members. I was behind, silently observing the surroundings.The pack members knew me, and it's not hard for them to recognize me. I just fe
~Emerald~“You're right, Knox. I'm truly grateful for having her beside me. She's the woman I have been dreaming about.”I could feel my face blushed when James never hesitated to say these words to me and in front of Alpha Knox. He doesn't care about those who can hear it because what's important to him is to let me know that he never thinks about our location as long as he can say heartfelt words for me.I'm just truly grateful for having him as my husband, and I'm hoping that we will stay bolder until we succeed in erasing Gideon from here.“You should take good care of your wife, Alpha James. She has a lot of potential and after what she showed here, I'm certain that she will be the target of the enemies. They knew that she is so useful to you and to the whole pack,” Alpha Knox uttered, making me look at him.His words felt meaningful. I just can't stop feeling nervous about it.“Of course, Knox. I have my eyes towards my wife and I know our enemies will get interested in her, esp
