~Emerald~After changing our clothes, James and I decided to leave. We checked the situation of the pack and confirmed that we are already safe from the shape-shifters. I also have the chance to talk to Cassandra about taking good care of James as we are about to leave to attack the place of the shape-shifters.At this moment, we are only waiting for any information about Christopher, and then he finally arrived after an hour. Katie immediately approached him, making me smile.This woman has fallen deeply to Christopher. I could still remember her anger at Christopher before.“What are you smiling at?”I was stunned when I heard James speak at the back. When I turned around, I saw him furrowing his brows.“Nothing.” I replied curtly, and it made him chuckle.He took my hands and pressed it while looking at me straight in my eyes. As he does that, I also can't avoid looking at him.“And now that we know the hideout of the shape-shifters, we are going to get rid of them. I just want you
~Emerald~‘Let's go back, Emerald. It's too dangerous for you to follow James!’Lilian was doing her best to convinced to go back to where others were. We are already running in the woods hoping to find James. I don't know where he ran. James' reflexes were far too fast.Therefore, I decided to stop breathing. I was chasing my breath, my hands were both on my knees.“Where are you, James?” I mumbled, while narrowing my eyes around the area.The trees in this area were so tall that the moon was not enough to light the way. It was so dark and there was no hint of somebody roaming around.But a minute later, I was stunned in my direction when I heard a voice from the back.“They're gone.”I was about to attack him when he immediately stopped my hand before it landed on him. My brows furrowed when I saw James.“James?” I muttered, while looking at him carefully.I just wanted to make sure that it was James and not a shape-shifter. The way his brows furrowed while looking at me, and the co
~Emerald~“I don't want to say this, Alpha James, but we helped your father because we wanted you to help us back…”I couldn't help but sneered as these words escaped from Alpha Casper. My impression of them started to disappear when he began to admit their real purpose of helping Alpha Sebastian.“What help do you want from us, Alpha Casper?” James asked, his brows furrowed while looking at him.“We found out that you're dealing with Gideon. He killed our parents when we were still young.” Casper replied.I stood up straight when I heard Casper's response. The annoyance in my heart disappeared when I heard his side and my heart tightened upon finding out that Gideon's name was mentioned again.That Alpha was truly a pain in the ass. So many wolves wanted him dead, but nobody could kill him instead of James.“They already told me about what happened to their parents, James. Gideon killed them, and they wanted to help us beat him.” Alpha Sebastian interrupted.James nodded his head. Hi
~Emerald~It seemed like my breath froze as I looked at Alpha Sebastian. His eyes seem difficult to read and with that, I realized, James is like his dad. I wouldn't be surprised where he has gotten his personality.“I-It was my honor to meet you, Alpha Sebastian. I am so happy that you are finally reunited with James. You have no idea how he wanted to see you.” I responded, my voice almost cracked.I got nervous with his presence. I've never had the chance to speak to him before, and I was worried that he might not like me knowing that he heard numerous things about me.“I couldn't imagine the pain he went through all these years without me. I made a horrible mistake of trusting somebody, which causes more trouble, Emerald,” Alpha Sebastian uttered, making me stunned.These are not the words I have expected to hear from him. I thought he's going to say mean things to me, but then I was surprised. Alpha Sebastian started talking to me about what he did.‘This is a good sign that his f
~James~I turned back my head at Alpha Sebastian, and now he's busy playing with Jacob. The smile on his face as he held his grandson made me feel a wave of happiness. Never did I imagine that he would still meet his grandson. Alpha Sebastian survived his kidnappers, and now he's back to us.“Emerald.”I was back to my senses when I heard James' voice. He was already at the back, looking at me in his furrowed brows.“J-James…” I stuttered when I remembered what his father told me earlier.After I realized everything that Alpha Sebastian had told me, I confirmed that he really has a sickness. I have this feeling that he's enduring something deep inside and this worries me.I don't know how to tell James. Alpha Sebastian asked me earlier that I should not tell his son about it, but my conscience can't.“I saw you talking to dad. What did he say?” He asked me.I gasped as these words escaped from his mouth. I took a glance at Alpha Sebastian, and he's still busy playing with Jacob.A dee
~Emerald~My head suddenly ached when I pushed myself to remember it. I don't understand anything about my reason for pushing myself to remember Alpha Casper. The more I stared at him, it felt like I could recognize him.“What's wrong, Luna Emerald?” Casper asked, making me stunned.I turned my head at James, and he looked bothered by what I acted. I gulped a little, while shaking my head.“Nothing's wrong, Alpha Casper. I just felt dizzy after my vision showed me something earlier,” I responded, and he nodded his head.Even though he has already gotten a response to me, it doesn't prevent him from looking at me. James suddenly wrapped his hand around my waist and because of that, I diverted my attention back to him.“Are you alright?” He asked, almost whispering.I let out a deep and heavy breath before responding to him.“I'm fine, don't worry.” I responded, and he nodded his head.At this point, James faces them back. He asked them to rest for a moment and will resume the conversat
~Emerald~The next morning, I woke up with a small note above the bedside table. It came from James, who informed me that he has to go out early and didn't bother to wake me up because I am still asleep.A smile forms on my lips when I remember what we did last night and can't take it away from my head. After I did my routine, I went out of the room to find Jacob.As I was walking down the hall, I suddenly froze in my direction when I bumped into someone. Just before I fell down, he grabbed my waist.“It's you…” I muttered, disbelief written on my face when I recognized him.The person I bumped into was none other than, but Alpha Casper. He furrowed his brows while looking at me. I was stunned in my direction just because of how he looked at me.“Alpha Emerald,” Casper said. “You should be extra careful next time. It will put your life at risk.”I push him a bit, making him let go of me. My heart pounded so fast when I realized what just happened. I was nervous that James might come a
~Emerald~My legs trembled when my vision showed me an event from the future. An event that almost made my heart stop beating. It was James and Gideon, fighting on a dark side of the forest.I saw how Gideon made James' suffer. There was blood all over James' body. He let out an agonizing pain after Gideon targeted his heart. It was a devastating vision that I ever had. I can feel my heart shattered by that view and the next thing I know, I have already passed out.“Emerald!”I didn't know what happened next. My vision just disappeared. It was already dark, and I could feel the darkness slowly covering my eyes.The next thing I know, James carried me back to the room and when I woke up, I found him sleeping next to me.“James…” I called his name, making him open his eyes.He immediately rose from bed, and held my hands.“How do you feel? Do you want to eat anything? Or, maybe, a glass of water?” He asked.As I looked into his eyes, I could see only worries. I know he thinks of me the
~Emerald~I was supposed to shine tonight. This is my chance to prove that I can do what men can do, but it never happened.James has finally returned. He used his ability again to kill the hybrids without struggling, while I remained standing. All I did was watch him as he finished our enemies, those who kidnapped us, until Ellie was the only one who was left with us.James is just too powerful for the hybrids to kill them. They never think about the consequences of their actions.“Emerald…”The first thing that James did is to rush in my direction. He pulled my body, giving me a tight hug. I just bit my lower lips, as I tried to control the annoyance I felt towards James.“You made me worried. I thought something bad happened to you, but I'm glad that Alpha Maximo and Joyce cooperated with us to find Ellie. Thankfully, we came on time before something worse could happen to you.” James muttered, his reaction filled with worries.I can't help but pout on my lips upon hearing it. James
~Emerald~I was stunned when Emily cried in front of me. My heart shattered hearing her sobs as I can feel that she's carrying so much struggle in life and knowing that we've been kidnapped by Ellie. That woman is a total bitch. I will make her regret messing with me.“Emily, what happened?” I asked, my tone filled with worries.Emily bit her lower lips as she raised her head to look at me. Her eyes filled with her tears and fear is also evident from it. I know she's afraid of our situation right now, but I have to remind her that she has nothing to be scared of.I will find a way to escape here. Ellie will not succeed in her plans. She will really regret it later.“I-I heard what Ellie had told you earlier. We didn't know that she was a hybrid. We never knew that the pack we allowed to enter our territory was actually the reason behind my parents' death. Hybrids killed our parents, Luna Emerald!” Ellie explained to me.I was stunned upon learning it. I have never expected that the hy
~Emerald~“Luna is finally awake!”The moment I opened my eyes, these words were the first thing I heard. My head is still painful, making me grimaced in pain. I made sure that the pain in my head would lessen before I opened my eyes again.At first, my eyes were still blurry, but after a second, it started to clear. I started to panic when I suddenly realized the people in front of me.I even moved, but I can't move my hands because they were tied with a metallic leash. Beside me, I saw Emily, who was still unconscious.“F*ck! Where are we!?” I screamed in front of the wolves.They suddenly laughed as if they found my statement funny.“You don't feel this place, Luna Emerald?”One of them asked, making me raise my brows.“How would I know if you used a chemical on me to take my consciousness?” I blurted, and then laughed again.These wolves in front of me don't look familiar. I am certain that this is the first time I have seen them and the place they take us, I have no idea where th
~Emerald~“Stay away from her! She's a threat to you!”My mouth widened from what I saw. This is the old woman who just said so many things to me last night. The woman who mentioned the prophecy. I really don't know what she wanted to point out.“What the hell are you talking about?” James exclaimed, blocking the woman from hitting me with her stick.I can't believe she's being too aggressive now compared to last night. She wanted to hit me and fortunately, James is with me. He protected me from the old woman.“Alpha King, I want you to be careful with her. She brought misfortune with you. That woman will be your greatest destruction and if you don't leave her, the worst things are coming into your life!” She uttered, making me stunned.I just felt my body start to tremble as her words started to sink in to me. All the bad words that she mentioned were for me. The aggressive old woman was referring to me, and this is annoying. I don't know how on earth she made a story about me.She w
~Emerald~Ellie ran in front of Alpha James. She suddenly wrapped her hands around her neck and was about to kiss my husband when James stopped her.I suddenly felt my blood boil from what I witnessed towards Ellie. She changed abruptly. I saw how mad she was at James, but when she heard her father called my husband the Alpha King, everything changed from her.“Do you want me to deal with her, Luna Emerald? She's being flirtatious!” Emily reacted beside me.I looked at her, and shook my head in response.“No, need. I trusted my husband. He will deal with her and let's just watch how he will embarrass Ellie.” I muttered to her, even though my inner self was telling me to attack Ellie.“I-I didn't realize it earlier, Alpha King. I'm sorry if it takes time for me to recognize that you're the real Alpha King. Please, forgive us. We haven't recognized you because we never had the chance to see your face,” Ellie explained to James.At this point, I just crossed my arms, my eyes were on her.
~Emerald~“You cheated!”I suddenly turned my head at Joyce when she shouted those words. My mouth widened at her in disbelief.“Watch your words, Joyce! You are talking to the Alpha King!” Casper reminded her, but she shook her head.She was gritting her teeth as she looked at us, anger filled her eyes. Ellie, on the other hand, was looking at me dangerously.That kind of look, I know there's something playing in her mind and I need to prepare that. I can already sense that they will do something very unlikely. I know these wolves won't accept defeat and my instincts earlier are right.“We can't accept this, Casper! That man cheated my father. He's not the Alpha King. He can't be the Alpha King!” Joyce continued shouting.James didn't say anything to her. He just remained standing while looking at her, but I can already feel what's in his heart. James wanted to kill her, but we can't do that. There's no way you can hurt someone without valid reason.“I keep saying it since earlier th
~Emerald~My eyes were still on Casper's visitors. I don't want to move my attention away because I want to see what could be their reactions when they found out that James is really the Alpha King. They don't believe Casper's words.I know this is difficult to believe because they haven't met the Alpha King yet, and I understand that, but I won't tolerate what Ellie had uttered from earlier.“Don't worry, Casper. We know what we are doing, and we're popular for doing deals, don't we?” Alpha Maximo responded to Casper.James let out a soft chuckle and I know because he can't believe in them. He never expected to find out that nobody did recognize him, and now I was thinking about how Casper's visitors will find out about us.“How will you confirm it?”They turned their attention to James when he finally decided to intervene. I just took a glance at James because I focused my eyes back at Ellie.I was guessing about what they will do to confirm that the wolf in front of them is actuall
~Emerald~I can feel piercing eyes on me, but I didn't mind them. My attention was with Ellie to know her reaction.After I asked that question to Ellie, she started smirking. It even took her a minute before she responded.“Well, I just have one plan towards the Alpha King. I will just offer myself to him and I know he will not say no to it. I have a nice body and all the male wolves in our pack have been dreaming to touch it,” Ellie muttered in confidence.When I heard what she said, I could feel my teeth gritted, while my hands clenched in annoyance. She looked overconfident when she uttered those words at me.This woman has no idea that she was talking to the wife of the Alpha King.“Did you know that the Alpha King has a wife?” I mumbled, and because of what I had said, James pinched my arm.I just glared at him and he sighed. He's trying to stop me from fighting Ellie, but I won't back out. I will just teach this woman a lesson to be cautious on everything she wants to say.“Oh
~Emerald~James doesn't have a choice but to agree to Casper after I confirm. He agreed to stroll the pack that his father stayed with before we went back to our pack.After talking to Alpha Casper, James and I returned to our room. We lay on the bed and James told me to sleep. He never leaves my side until I fall asleep. James' presence really helped me to relax. I have forgotten everything that happened that day.The next morning, James woke me up. We took our shower together and left the room to start the day within Casper's pack.James was holding my hand as we walked the way out of Casper's mansion. The moment I stepped my feet outside the door, I found myself amazed from what I saw.“This pack looks wonderful as well, James,” I mumbled to him.“Tsk. Our pack still looks better and more powerful.” He responded.I just shook my head and didn't mind what he said. We just continued walking until we found Emily and Alpha Casper coming into our direction. Emily is smiling already, whi
