~Emerald~The person behind Althea's identity showed her face to me. I felt my mouth widened upon seeing her real face. She is not familiar to me, and I am certain that I have never met her before.“Are you amazed how good we are?” She smirked, a sneer forming her lips.I gritted my teeth and asked, “I wasn't amazed by your face. I just wondered what we did to you for doing all of this. How on earth did you make the Alpha King follow you!?”When she heard me speak, she started laughing as if those words were the funniest statement she ever heard in her life. I could feel my blood boil in rage because of her.“I bet you knew your husband that well? He wouldn't become the most fearful of wolves for nothing, and he wouldn't have his position if he never attacked anyone before,” she answered curtly.I pressed my lips together, while looking at her straight in the eyes. I don't know her name yet, and there's no point in knowing it. She will die anyway.“Of course, I know him. James would n
~Emerald~The shape-shifter didn't expect what Lilian did to her. She jumped into her direction, making her stunned. As she was about to react, Lilian attacked her with her long claws. She fell on the ground, her breathing became heavy as she looked at me. Lilian smirked, shutting her with a piercing look. “Where's your courage earlier, Shape-shifter?” Lilian mumbled at her. “Do you think you can kill me with that!?” She answered, and prepared herself to stand up. However, Lilian blocked her way, making her stop from her attempt to get up. “Emerald mentioned earlier that she wanted to kill you slowly, but we are running out of time. You have to die now for being the reason for her miscarriage and for putting her loved ones at risk. Say goodbye to your kind now, Shape-shifter.” After Lilian said these words, she targeted the shape-shifter to her heart, causing her death to be easy. The woman is already dead and now covered with blood. At this point, Lilian turned back. I was alre
~Emerald~The hope in my heart started to disappear as there was no hint of change from James. He looked so mad while he kept looking at me. I can see it from his eyes. Although he screamed at first, he turned back into his normal expression again. He started stomping his feet in my direction, making me step forward. I couldn't read whatever was in his mind right now. James is hard to predict. “I did love you?” He sneered, still stepping into my direction. I gulped at him, my heart continued pounding so fast. I never stopped stepping on my feet until he finally cornered me. My back hit the hard cement, while James is already an inch away from me. The pounding of my heart continues, and James is still sneering as he grabs my hand.“Answer me…” He muttered, his tone seems so cold until now. “Did I say I loved you?” My mouth agape as I looked at him deep into his eyes. It feels weird. The hard reaction from his face earlier suddenly softened. “What are—” Just before I could contin
~Emerald~The colors of his eyes changed into something darker. His ocean blue eyes turned dark golden brown can make everyone tremble when they see it. This is not the usual eye colors of James when he's about to change into his wolf form. It's usually golden brown but now, it has become darker.“They killed my child.”The way he mentioned these words, it filled me with rage. I know exactly what will happen next, and I am glad that James has finally returned. I wasn't alone in saving this pack. We can save all of them together.“Let's end them, James. They are still here and I know they are waiting for us. I can feel their presence.” I uttered.James turned his head in my direction. He let out a deep and heavy breath when he looked at me. After staring at me, James had finally calmed down.“You stay in here. I will deal with them.”James turned his body away, preparing to leave. I grit my teeth and took out a deep sigh before speaking up. I will not allow him to leave me here. This b
~Emerald~My voice echoed around the area the moment I screamed at them. Those who were near my son, flew away as there was a force that removed them from him. Tears fell, my eyes darkened in anger.Seeing my son in danger in front of me made me furious. I don't want to see anybody hurting my son and one wrong move will be their last day. They can’t touch him until I'm alive.“I will not allow any of you to hurt my son!” I screamed on the top of my lungs.No one can ever question a mother's love for her children. She will do everything to protect them and to those who mess with her shall pay the consequences.Just because of my love for my son, those enemies who surrounded him were thrown away. I was even surprised at what happened, even the others. They never expected that I have such ability, but it doesn't matter to me now.I ran in my son's direction and as I did that, enemies started running after me. However, James blocked all of them and started killing them just before they co
~Emerald~I gave him a smack on his face and James didn't expect that. The left corner of his lips have cuts from what I did. I just don't like his words. It seems like he's taking us away from his life and this annoyed me.“Is that what you want to happen after everything we went through, James? You wanted us to disappear from your life?” I exclaimed, and he let out a sigh.“But I was only worried about your safety and Jacob. I couldn't risk both of—”I gritted my teeth, and said, “Even if we left you here, enemies will still look for us because we are a great weapon against you. Life will be more complicated if we separate from you, but if that's what you want, I will give it to you then!”I turned my body away to leave when he immediately stopped me by holding my hand. The corners of my lips lifted from what he did.“Look, I am so sorry for what I have said. Believe me, I was only thinking about you and Jacob. We already lost our second child. I cannot afford to lose another one if
~Emerald~“Looks like everyone is having fun here.”These are the words that escaped from Althea's mouth. Her eyes were dead, her face as dark as the night. Even though she's meters away from me, I can already see the anger deep within her.“Althea.” I uttered, and her eyes landed on me.A smirk formed on her lips as she slowly walked her feet near us. She suddenly pulled her gun out and pointed this to us. I tilted my head as I looked at it, while the others couldn't help but gasp.James' warriors were about to approach her, but James told them not to bother. I know he will deal with her, and that's what I also wanted to do now. I can handle her on my own. Althea has no chance of changing.I took the risk to forgive her last time, but not anymore.“You know what, I should have done this before, but I never did. I thought your intentions with me are real, Emerald, but again I was wrong. You just put me in the worst situation and those weeks that I lived in that f*cking cell is a hell
~Emerald~As James uttered these words to me, I can't help but to narrow my eyes to the surroundings. I was trying to find out whom he meant.“I-I thought we already killed all the shape-shifters,” I mumbled in my low tone. James turned his head at me and sighs.“Nah, we didn't. There were still some shape-shifters, but we will make sure to end them as soon as possible. I was so mad at them. They are the reason for your miscarriage and I will make sure to burn them in hell!” James blurted in his cold tone. Every word he let out, I could feel his rage at them. I know he's so mad at what happened to him. A shape-shifter did use a spell on him knowing that he's an Alpha King, and he won't allow that he couldn't punish them.“What should we do now?” I asked, making sure that no one would hear us.James stared at me, and then the left corner of his lips lifted. I gulped from what he did, while my heart pounded so fast.“I will handle them.” He replied curtly.I furrowed my brows and aske
~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
~Emerald~After that kiss, we returned to the ball as if nothing happened earlier. It's glad that the wolves who attended the ball didn't notice something happening in the surrounding area. James made sure that Beatrice is the only enemy who entered the pack.The ball continued and at exactly midnight, everyone went home to their houses. James and I also went inside our room to rest. I tried to close my eyes and forget what happened earlier, but the words that Beatrice had said before she died keep ringing to my mind.James was already asleep beside me and because I have so many things to do tomorrow, I forced myself to sleep until I never noticed that I already fell asleep.When I woke up the next day, as usual, James was not there. He woke up early again to start his day with an exercise. I decided to finish everything I needed to do and then went out of the room. The moment I reached downstairs, I suddenly saw Ares.He looked at me with his usual aura. I suddenly froze in my direct
~Emerald~The moment James started to speak up, Beatrice's expression changed. I couldn't find the arrogance from her face, and now it was replaced by worries. She tried to hide the worries from her expression, but I'm just good at noticing it.“Whatever you do, you can't get information from me. I will never say anything, Alpha.” Beatrice muttered.James just looked at her in his blank expression. He didn't mind what Beatrice had said, but instead, he took out a gun that he kept under his shirt.I stood up straight upon seeing that and silently observed what James would do to her.“You know, I realized that it's better if we should make your death more unique. I will not use my claws to kill you, but this gun. Definitely, you will enjoy this gun. What do you think?”Beatrice swallowed hard upon hearing what James had uttered to her. Her lips became pale, her eyes filled with tears in fear. I was stunned when I saw that reaction from her. I thought she's bold.She's even laughing from
~Emerald~I was speechless from what James had told me. I thought he's going to scold me because I never informed her about Beatrice, but I was wrong. He didn't get mad, but instead, he gave me a hug.I was shocked, because I couldn't find the words to say. The embrace he's giving me now is already enough for me to understand the message. I wrapped my shaking hands on his back and closed my eyes while I enjoyed the moment that I was in his arms.“Ares and his team will go back here with Beatrice's head. I have trust in the skill of Ares. I will not put him as head of the warriors if he's nothing to prove to me.” James uttered.I nodded my head and bit the bottom of my lips to prevent myself from crying. This isn't the perfect moment to cry.“I just hope that they can have Beatrice now. I can't wait to punish that woman. She needed to pay for what she did to me.” I gritted my teeth when I said these words.James tightened his hug as if he had no plans of letting me go.“We will never s
~Emerald~I don't know what answer I should give to Cassandra. I am not prepared for that kind of question, but I need to answer it. She's waiting for a response from me.“Don't get me wrong, Em. I'm just concerned for the both of you. I know that there were times before that both of you were tested, but you both fixed it. However, we can't deny that there are still enemies out there, waiting for the downfall of both of you. I know that the best weapon they could use to make sure you and James will hate each other is through your relationship…”I understand what Cassandra meant, and it's true. We have been tested by our trust since the beginning, but James and I were able to fix it. We did fix our problems and never let the enemies succeed with their plans.I think we will still do the same thing. If someone dared to destroy our marriage and trust with each other, we will try fixing it again.“If there's one thing I am so sure of, Cass…” I paused to take a deep breath. “It's about not
~Emerald~Just before James could react, I took a glass of champagne that the staff served. James shook his head when he saw what I did.I never hesitated to drink the glass of champagne to stop James from getting disappointed. I admit that I made a mistake earlier about thinking of knowing Ares' background.That man just captured my curiosity and I realized that I shouldn't be minding him. I should stop this curiosity out of my head and just hold on to the fact that Ares is Levi's brother. He is trustworthy and Levi wouldn't agree if he knows his brother is not trustworthy at all.“You're not drinking, Emerald.”James took the glass from me, which made me pouted.“Why not? I'm thirsty, James…” I complained, but he just shook his head.“I don't want you to drink because that's not good for your health. You will carry our second child, remember?”I suddenly blushed from what James had uttered to me. I never expected him to say this, so I looked away.But, the moment I turned my eyes to
~Emerald~Ares appeared in my vision, and it showed me what he can do for the Crescent Moon Pack. Just because of that vision, I confirmed that Ares is not an enemy of the pack. He defended the pack against the enemies that are about to destroy our land.“Are you okay, Luna Emerald?”I turned my head at Ares when I heard his voice. He's looking at me in his serious expression and then my head turns to James. He's furrowing his brows now, his eyes asking me to explain what just happened.“It's just my vision.” I responded to Ares, and he looked stunned from what he heard.Ares didn't know that I have an ability to see some events from the past and also the future. I guess Levi didn't tell him about our capabilities.“What did you see from your vision, Emerald?” James asked, his expression covered with worries now.I smiled, showing James that he has nothing to worry about.“Nah, it's just a random thing. It's not so important, James,” I replied to him, making James let out a deep and h
~Emerald~When James heard my explanation, he couldn't stop from laughing. I just felt my face blushed because of what he did.“I think it works. You made them leave.” He whispered.I turned my head to where the mean girls were and found them leaving the store. I just shook my head, my lips formed a smirk.“They should be. I don't like how they talked about us. They are so mean!” I exclaimed.“What did they say to you? Should I punish them now?” James asked, and started stepping his feet to follow those mean girls.Just before he could leave the store, I stopped him.“Nah, don't mind them anymore. They are just a waste of time. Let's go back to buying clothes and leave the store after this. I know everyone is waiting for us in the pack. I'm worried that we will be late to the celebration tonight, James,” I suggested, and he let out a sigh.James and I continued shopping until we're done. We immediately leave the place and go back to the pack as soon as possible.I love to stroll the c
