~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~After an hour of walking, we finally reached our cars, and we immediately left the forest as soon as possible. James, Althea, and I were just silent the whole ride until we finally reached the pack.I was confused with Althea because she never speaks, an opposite to what she is before. However, I just didn't mind her as we focused our attention on the pack.“Let's go to the room. You have to change before facing the others. I also have a surprise for you,” James whispered at me, making me furrow my brows.“A surprise for me?” I asked, feeling confused about what he meant while my heart started pounding so fast in excitement.The corner of James's lips suddenly lifted, forming a sly smile as he looked at me. Seeing that reaction, I know my husband has something in his mind that I can't help but get excited about.This Alpha loves surprises, and whatever that is, I believed my life wouldn't be at risk. He's doing his best to keep me and our baby safe at all costs.“You will kn
~Emerald~I was still in James' arms and had no plans of letting him go. We are not a perfect couple, but I never failed to see his efforts for me. My children are grateful to have him as their father because despite the busy schedule, he never failed to show us how much he loved us.There was no one like him. Everything that every woman was looking towards a man is already at James. This is the reason that women are trying to flirt with him despite being aware that he's already married to me.“Thank you so much for this James. You know how much I love you and words would never be enough to tell you how much I loved this.” I uttered, and James hugged me tightly.“Seeing you happy is already enough for me. I would never get tired of doing this with you until we grow old because I know how much you appreciate things even if it's small or not.” James uttered to me.I nodded, biting my lower lips. This is my way to prevent my tears from falling again. I have been crying since earlier and
~Emerald~My eyes darkened now upon thinking about Althea's purpose of being here. At this time, I took my gun and pointed it on her head. Everyone gasped from what I did, but nobody stopped me.“All this time, you're dreaming of taking my husband from me, don't you?” I mumbled, and Althea raised her head.Her eyes filled with tears as she stood up from sitting on the ground. The next thing I know, she pulled her gun out and pointed it with me as well.“I take nothing from you, Emerald. James was once mine, and I was first with you. Just so you know, he keeps visiting me to the bar that I was working before just to f*cked with me even before he realized that he loved you. James told me everything that's happening in his life and the way he hated you before!” Althea uttered, making me stunned.I looked at James, his eyes pleading me not to listen to her. This information that Althea had told me might be painful on my side, but I have to remember that this happened before we got back to
~Emerald~I went back inside the house, still with my dark reaction. All the things that James uttered to me still flashing back into my head. I couldn't forget it. Seems like it's making my blood boil.“Emerald!”I suddenly stopped from walking when I heard James' voice. He followed me and now looked at me in his dangerous reaction. Behind him were our friends. Cassandra looked at me with worries written on her face. She walked towards me to take Jacob away from us.“I'll be there for you, Emerald,” Cassandra whispered.I just glanced at her and didn't say anything. Cassandra couldn't do anything to fight against James. I know she will stay neutral because James was still the Alpha King.‘Emerald, stop. You're thinking negatively!’ Lilian complained, but I just shook her away.My heart started to numb as to what they are doing to me. I still remember how they walked away, leaving me alone in the garden. I f*cking bleed, and it was the reason that I lost my child.“What do you want, J
~Emerald~One week had passed by for me to fully recover from my miscarriage. In that whole week, I have never found James' anymore. He never checked on me and didn't even sleep with me. Even if it's painful, I manage to calm myself because I know his anger towards me is reasonable.He was still blaming me for my miscarriage. I never ever wanted to have a miscarriage. It just happened so fast and now, many things have happened.Althea was released from her cell. I heard that she was released by James and good for her because she had finally changed. Althea always visited me in my room, asking me how I feel, and she even asked for forgiveness.Althea also blamed herself with my miscarriage, but she should not. It has nothing to do with her. I have never regretted the kindness I showed her.Today, it's the very first moment I will be showing my face to everyone. Life must go on even though it's still so painful on me. I still have my son and Jacob needed his mother back. He needed more
~Emerald~Those words that Cassandra had uttered did a strike into my heart. I could feel my heart stop beating for a moment, while my tears kept streaming down my eyes several times.“You're kidding me, right?” I mumbled, still can't believe what just Cassandra had told me.However, Cassandra never laughed. She looked at me, her eyes filled with sadness. That was when I started sobbing when I realized that she's not joking at all.I felt so numb. I couldn't move my body as I felt like I was getting stuck on the bed. This information she told me seems like a sharp knife, slowly cutting my whole body.“I'm sorry, Emerald. This is what the doctor had said. You have a severe bleeding, which became the reason for you to lose your child. She did her best to help you not to lose it, but she failed. The pack doctor explained to us even before you bleed, you already had a problem with your uterus. The baby's hold in your womb is just so weak.” Cassandra explained.Every word she let out was l
~Emerald~“Emerald, it's fine. Just give me to them. Let's just wait for that person who can erase my memories here.”A deep and heavy breath escaped from my mouth when I heard what Althea had uttered. I was so happy with her because she willingly accepted her fate. She never did anything to decline this, and she really proved that she has changed now.“You will have your freedom soon, Althea. We just have to find someone who can alter your memories with us, and you can go back to your world again,” I muttered, and Althea smiled at me.She turned her head at Cassandra and Katie's direction. Althea smiled at them before she left with the warriors. At this point, we watched Althea being taken by the warriors to put her in the dungeon.As she disappeared from our sight, I turned my head to James. His reaction remained indifferent, and I know this has something to do from what happened earlier.“Did you know that what you did earlier is risky?” James asserted, and I bit my lower lips.I j
~Emerald~“If your heart was telling you to kill, just do it now, Althea. You have the chance to end my life now, and I will not fight back.”These words escaped from my lips while looking at Althea. Tears started streaming from her face as she looked at me. She was even gritting her teeth, confused from what I was doing.“Take your gun, Emerald, and fight me!” Althea screamed, still doing her best to fight over herself now.I know she was fighting with herself about killing me or not as she began to doubt now.James would definitely scold me for what I am doing, but I have to do what is right. I have to correct what usually happens and with Althea, I still believe in her. I know this is not what she wanted to happen and this was the reason I put my gun down.I do believe that she couldn't kill me because this is not what her heart desired to do with.“No, I won't do that anymore, Althea because I believed that a calm conversation between us is what we need to do,” I replied, and Alth
