~Emerald~I found it difficult to close my eyes that night as my mind was with Gideon and James. They had finally started their search and I don't know what happened to the both of them now. My instruction is clear that they have to be here the next morning with Nikolai's head.I can't stop thinking about who from them could slaughter Nikolai, but I ready myself for that. I don't have a choice. After all, I was the one who made this challenge. I should accept the result.I woke up early the next morning to start my day with a short training. The newbies were now in the field. Natalia was already there. I walked straight in front to talk to her.“Natalia,” I called her name. “Can we talk for a moment?”She nodded her head in response. We look for a perfect place to talk to. I just want to know if she already saw James. I wanted to know how she feels now.“I heard Alpha James is here,” Natalia uttered, her attention in the other direction.I let out a deep sigh before answering. “Yes, a
~Emerald~My heart keeps on pounding so fast while walking to where Gideon is. He was finally back from the search for Nikolai's head, and I was expecting him to bring the head to me. However, my world almost stumbled down knowing that Gideon hadn't found it.“I didn't make it, Emerald,” Gideon said, his voice filled with disappointment. I let out a sigh and held his hands. Gideon doesn't need to feel dismayed about not making it.“Don't worry about it. Nothing will change, even if you didn't find it. Now, this time, we should wait for James. I just hope he couldn't find it as well.” Gideon just looked at me. His eyes were still sad and I know the feeling. I know he was desperate to have the head of Alpha Nikolai, but this is what it is. We couldn't do anything about it. Maybe the rumors from earlier were not real. If Gideon didn't find Nikolai, I believe James does not, but he's still not there. We are still waiting for him to let us know if he had it.I was already nervous while
~Emerald~I leave immediately after saying some threatening words to James. He would never have the chance to come close to me again, I swear!“You are not sure. Alpha James would be staying here, remember?”I rolled my eyes towards Lilian. “Then, I'll make him regret choosing to stay here.”Lilian just shook her head, while I let out a sigh. I went back to the cabin to compose myself. I just needed some strength before going out to face the wolves again and before facing him and to complete my relaxation, I have decided to close my eyes. It was already six in the evening when I woke up. My stomach growls, so I immediately prepare some food to eat before visiting Cassandra's cabin.I was already in the middle of my work when my eyes noticed something from the window. My brows were furrowed when I opened it up, and my eyes widened when I saw his face. The face of the man who ruined my life a year ago, and he's living in that cabin next to me.The cabin of Alpha James was actually near
~Emerald~“If you're the neighbor…” I paused, staring at him deep in his eyes. “I would rather die alone without asking any help from you.”James was surprised to hear these words from me. He did not say anything and I know because he didn't expect it. I know he still can't believe that a weak wolf like me would become like this. ‘Those are savaging words, Emerald!’ I just smirked at Lilian's words. She can't still believe me saying those words towards the Alpha King.“At least, you have an attractive neighbor,” James responded, not bothered about my words from earlier. I gritted my teeth in annoyance. This conversation would end in nothing. I will just hate him more, so I made up my mind to go back to my cabin. However, I was surprised when I noticed Gideon coming into my way. He was wearing his cold and dark aura. I know his eyes were at James, who was behind me.“Did he do something to you, Emerald?” Gideon asked when he reached my direction. I immediately shook my head and st
~Emerald~Two Alphas were already standing in front of my door. They were quarreling outside and just stopped after I opened the door.“Emerald…”Gideon and James looked at each other when they noticed that they called my name together. I massage my forehead seeing them both.“I came in first!” James uttered, almost screaming at Gideon.“No, I arrived first. So, leave!” Gideon yelled, slightly pushing James away.I let out a deep sigh watching the two barking like a dog. They aren't concerned about my presence in front of them. As they kept on fighting, I could feel my blood boiling.‘Two Alphas for one girl…’ Lilian spoke.‘Shut up!’ I responded back through my mind. ‘Interesting,’ Lilian replied. I just shook my head and closed my eyes. This is what I need to do to calm myself. I have realized that my life would no longer be at peace seeing these two together.“You can't push me like that, Gideon. I won Emerald’s challenge. You have no choice because starting today, you will alway
“Emerald, it's Jacob…”My heartbeat raced upon hearing Cassandra's words. I opened the door and saw my son in her arms. Jacob was trembling. I touch his forehead and tears fall from my eyes.“He has a high fever!” I panicked. I brought Jacob inside my cabin and put him on the bed. My heart continued pounding so fast watching my son crying so loud. Cassandra took warm water and a towel. I soaked the towel in the cold water and put it on Jacob's forehead.My hands were shaking in fear that something might happen to my son. I don't know what I should do if Jacob's fever won't slow down.“C-Cassandra, I'm scared…” I cried while doing my best to stop my son from crying.It can also be seen from Cassandra's face that she was also worried. This is the first time that my three-month-old son has experienced this. I couldn't accept it if something worse happened to him.My life would be of no use if my son Jacob would be gone from me. I just couldn't allow it to happen. He's the only thing I'v
~Emerald~I could feel my fists clenched beneath while looking at Gideon and James. The fight between them had already started. I was thinking of a way to stop the fight, but my body does not cooperate. I was supposed to prevent them because one of them might lose, but it's hard. Gideon's attacks were successful towards James, which also prevented me from stopping the fight because I wanted to see him suffer. I wanted to see him being smashed by his enemies.However, the table turns. Gideon failed to dodge James' attacks. It was James who is blowing an attack towards Gideon now and the fight is not good. I could see blood all over Gideon's face. I witnessed how many times Gideon almost fell down because of the unstoppable attacks that James was giving him.They didn't use their wolf abilities because they only used their ordinary and normal fighting skills. The last Alpha who remains standing will be the winner and the Alpha who falls down will be the loser. I don't want Gideon to l
~James~I watched Emerald leaving us. A deep sigh just escaped from my throat thinking that my wife is mad with me.This is Gideon's fault. ‘Why are you blaming your step-brother now?’I furrowed my brows because of what my wolf had uttered. ‘If he didn't trigger me, I wouldn't do this. I won't teach him a lesson and maybe, I wouldn't make her mad,’ I responded, but Logan just shook his head.‘Nah, stop blaming Gideon. This is also your decision to fight Gideon without even thinking about the consequences. Our plan is to win her heart again, not to make her mad.’I let out a deep breath because of Logan. My jaw tightened when my eyes fixated on Gideon, who was still in front of me.‘If you don't shut up, I swear I will take your voice. You couldn't communicate with me again!’Logan didn't respond back, but I know he was only controlling himself not to laugh. He won't take my words seriously because he's aware that I couldn't do that. “The pack will be at peace if you don't come her
~Emerald~“I was looking for you, Luna Emerald.”The moment I heard that voice, I stood up from my seat. I turned my head at the back and there, I found Malverra. She was already smiling at us, but that smile doesn't look genuine to me.“Malverra.” I mumbled with my head held up high.“Who is she, Emerald?” Cassandra asked, her brows furrowed while looking at Malverra from head to toe.I let out a sigh while looking at Malverra. It's also obvious from her reaction that she's confused about the people around me.“This is Luna Malverra, the wife of the Alpha of the Ravager Pack, our visitors.” I uttered without turning my head away.The moment I uttered these words towards my friends, Malverra's smile widened. I could feel arrogance from how she looked at my friends.“They might be your assistance, Luna Emerald. I could say that Alpha James is treating you like a queen. He assigned two assistants for you.” Malverra responded by almost making my jaw drop to the ground.I never expected s
~Emerald~“W-What do you mean by Luna, Alpha James?"After a minute of silence, Alpha Nyx has finally spoken. He recovered from the shock already, but his team hasn't yet.James tilted his head after hearing Nyx's question. I looked at James, waiting for his response towards Alpha Nyx.“My wife can see an event, either it's from the future, past, or the present.” James responded curtly.I couldn't help but smirk upon watching all the wolves of the Ravager Pack. The reactions from their faces are still visible. They couldn't believe what they just learned, and when I looked at Malverra, I found her looking at me.A smile formed on her lips, but I knew for a second that it wasn't sincere. This made my blood boil, but I chose not to say a thing because of James' reminder to me.“I was surprised to know that Luna Emerald has a vision ability. No wonder she became your Luna, Alpha James,” Malverra uttered, which made me laugh.“It's not just because of the ability that I had, Luna Malverra
~Emerald~The moment we finished talking, James and I went back to where our visitors were. We already talked about what we need to do, and I have to trust James. He knows exactly what he's doing, and I don't have to question that.“What's your decision, Alpha James?” Alpha Nyx asked, his lips curled.I let out a silent sigh, while looking at Malverra. This woman really captured my attention. I could feel something mysterious about her and I know my instincts so well. I just hope that I was mistaken this time and that Malverra is not an enemy at all.“My wife and I already talked about it and we agreed. We would like to let all of you stay here for a week.” James declared, making Alpha Nyx and his wife smile at us in response.“That's great, Alpha James. I can't wait to talk to you about some important things that will benefit both our packs. I swear you will never regret the information I bring for you.” Nyx responded to James.James just listened to what Nyx had uttered and me as we
~Emerald~The words that Alpha Nyx had mentioned gave me a chilling reaction throughout my body. Having friends with that mysterious woman next to him doesn't feel right. I don't know, there's something with her that I should avoid.“I'm glad to meet Luna Emerald of the Crescent Moon Pack. I've heard so many things with you, and I'm dreaming of meeting you in person.” Malverra uttered, her lips suddenly widened when she smiled.She's beautiful, sophisticated, and well-mannered, but I don't like her vibes. However, I couldn't say this because she's not doing anything to me. I will keep whatever I felt with her deep within, not until she provokes me if ever.“It's also my pleasure to meet you, Luna Malverra. You are so welcome to our pack and actually all of you. Our pack is open to our ally pack as long as they don't dare to fight with us.” I remarked without hesitation.They suddenly fell into silence when I said those words and then Luna Malverra started chuckling.“Yes, of course. A
~Emerald~James and I walked straight to where the siblings were brought by the pack wolves earlier. As we walked, I couldn't help but think about them. I was thinking about their reaction when they saw me and at the same time, I am hoping that they settled their problems.They don't have to kill each other because of the same man. They are sisters, and should talk with each other.“We're here.”I tilted my head when James spoke. My eyes turned at him and I found him looking at me. A deep and heavy sigh escaped from my throat in response to James.“I'm ready to face them.”These are the words that I last told him before James pushed the door to open. When James finally opened the door, my eyes immediately landed to the siblings, lying on the bed. Their eyes were now open, and they immediately looked at us.When they saw me, fears suddenly covered their eyes, which made me sigh. I have this feeling that I brought fear to them.“A-Alpha James…” Jessica said, her eyes diverted to James.
~Emerald~I punched both of them in their stomach to stop them from fighting. The siblings flew away, a meter from my direction. I could feel my eyes change into different colors, threatening to transform to my wolf's form.“I told you both to stop fighting. You both are hard-headed!” I yelled, but nobody answered me.I turned my heads at the siblings, and they grimaced in pain, while lying on the ground. Nobody was moving, but they were still breathing.I shut my eyes, calming myself when my blood started to boil. I have to control myself, or else worse things might happen here.“Are you okay, Luna Emerald?”A wolf approached me. I nodded my head and stood straight.“Bring them to the pack doctor. They already learned their lesson.” I muttered towards the wolf.She was stunned by what I had said, but had no choice at all. At this moment, I turned away, not tempted to look at the siblings anymore.I know for a moment that they will find me to ask forgiveness for what they caused me. T
~Emerald~It was a new day in the pack and everything went back to normal. The wolves of the pack are now busy with their everyday work, while I am busy taking good care of Jacob.James is not around. He's with the warriors as they have to stroll the pack, making sure that nobody's spying on us. It's a great day for me, despite what happened last night. I tried to surround myself with positivity, as I don't want to attract negative attention because I'm with my son.We were currently outside the mansion because I planned to stroll Jacob around. My friends were there as well, and we were laughing while talking about random things when someone suddenly interrupted us.“Luna Emerald, we need your help!”I turned my head to someone who screamed. My heart skipped for a moment as I looked at her.“What's wrong?” I asked in my worried tone.The woman looked at me, her eyes filled with horror. I couldn't help but furrow my brows because of her reaction.“Someone's fighting and we couldn't sto
~Emerald~The moment Ares noticed our presence, he moved away, letting us see the dead body. I was holding my breath, while stepping my feet near it. James is next to me, and he's also looking at the body with his serious expression.“I think that body is familiar to me…” I mumbled, when I started to recognize the body on the ground.The moment I reached it, my heart suddenly stopped pounding.“It was Allison!” I gasped, seeing Allison's cold and dead body on the ground.My hands covered my mouth, looking at her. I could even feel my body start to tremble with this information. I have never imagined that I will see Allison again, but in her cold body.“F*ck.”James couldn't say anything, but a cursed word. He doesn't even expect to see Allison's cold body.At this moment, I just felt my body froze. I don't know exactly what I should feel. I felt sad for her, but when I remember all the betrayal she did to me, that certain sadness just disappeared.Her betrayal to me is still painful.
~Emerald~“Don't get us wrong, Alpha James. Luna Emerald and I were just talking. She just reminds me that I should be loyal to the pack.”Ares decided to speak up now. I know he could feel distasteful in James' expression.“I know, and I've heard my wife's last words, Ares. I need to pick my wife now. We need to eat our breakfast,” James responded.A deep breath escaped from my throat as a sign of relief after I heard James' response. I thought he's going to get mad because I talked to men. Ares and I were just talking and there's nothing else aside from that.“I need to go, Luna Emerald.” Ares replied, and he walked away from us.At this time, James turned his head at me. His expression looks dark, which made me a bit nervous.“You're not supposed to talk to Ares, Emerald. I already told you that you should stop talking to men.” He uttered, which made me stunned.Disbelief was written on my face, while looking at him.“Ares and I were just talking, James. You should not be worried a
