~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
~James~“Luna Emerald has a child, Alpha James.”I was stunned in my direction, eyes were at Levi. The words he just mentioned suddenly rang into my ears. My mouth couldn't even form a word to respond with Levi.I was speechless. I can't believe the information I heard from my beta. Emerald has a child and knowing that got me so emotional. I don't know either. The moment I found out about it, I knew something was different. This information felt so impactful.“What did you just say?” I asked, confused. I just heard Levi's words clearly, but I wanted to confirm it. I wanted to know if he was really telling the truth and then a memory from the past flashes back to me.Emerald had actually told me about her pregnancy. She was trying to tell me that I would be a father, but I still pushed her away from my life. I still choose Katie over her knowing that she is actually carrying my child. Yes, I know this is my child. I could feel it. My heart could prove it.‘Look at what you did, James
~Emerald~I left the cabin to start the training. Jacob is with Cassandra and he's already fine. I was relieved that my son's high fever was finally gone. I will not worry about leaving him when I am on training.“Weird, Alpha James didn't meet you outside the cabin just like yesterday,” Lilian uttered, obviously confused. I shook my head and took out a deep sigh. “That's even better because I don't want to start the day with bad vibes. It's even better if he would totally leave the pack and never come back again.” Lilian couldn't stop herself from laughing at my words. “You know he won't do that. We are aware of James' attitude. If he wants something, he won't stop until he has it.”I shook my head in disbelief because Lilian could still remember one of the traits that James' had and my wolf was right. Alpha James will never stop not until he got what he wanted, but things are more complicated now.He's not in his pack. He doesn't own me anymore. I wouldn't allow him to get what he
~Emerald~“I…I don't know what you were talking about.”I turned away to leave James after I heard what he said earlier. Just before I could step my legs away, James grabbed my wrist. He pulled me close to him and I had no choice. I had no choice but to face him.The reaction from his face couldn't be explained now. His eyes were filled with pain. The way he looked at me, he seemed to be pleading with me.“You can't hide the truth from me, Emerald,” James uttered. “You can't hide the truth about my son.”My hands turned to fists. I couldn't stop gritting my teeth while glaring at him, my eyes filled with darkness. James didn't know what he was talking about.He has no son with me. I will not allow him to own the child he disowned once. Upon hearing James' statement, my expression hardened, my heart pounded so fast. The pain in my eyes was replaced by fury. I step forward and slap him across the face. The sound of my slap echoes through my ears. James was stunned, his hand touching hi
~Emerald~I looked at myself in the mirror for one last time. A smile formed on my lips when I found a different woman. A woman who grew up to be a fine lady after everything she went through. I can't imagine I would face the mirror again, wearing such a beautiful dress given by Gideon.“You look so pretty, Emerald,” Cassandra praised at the back. A smile formed on my lips before I faced her. My eyes turned in my son's direction. He was sleeping in his crib. I walked there and kissed his forehead. Jacob's handsome face could not be denied. He got his face to his father, James.“Thank you for everything, Cass. I don't know what my life would look like if you are not with me,” I responded to my friend. Cassandra smiled, taking my hands to hold it. “I should be the one to thank you. I wouldn't be here if you didn't save my life. You are the reason I was still alive after you saved me from the accusations that some wolves were throwing at me.”I remembered the day when I first met Cassa
~Emerald~“Prepare everyone, we are about to enter the secret passage through their pack.”As Allison muttered these to us, I just felt the tight hold of James to my mind. He even looked at me, his eyes were telling me something.“Don't let your guard down. I'm here beside you.” James reminded me.I nodded my head to him, which made him feel relieved. At this moment, I took out my gun from my coat. I have to prepare this just in case we meet an enemy on our way to the secret passage.Allison still led us the way. She kept on walking, and we just followed her from the back. After almost twenty minutes of walking, I can already see the houses not far from us. The houses that look different from the poor saviors who suffered from what the attack of Killian's pack before.The lives of the wolves here are different from the saviors. They have a nice house, while the saviors don't. They have more food and water than the saviors.And thinking about the privileged they have here to compare to
~Emerald~When the night arrived, all of us prepared for the attack that we were about to do at Killian's pack. My heart started pounding not because I'm afraid of them, but because I can't wait to see them. I could no longer wait to see my uncle, Alpha Killian, the one who did attack us long ago.After talking to uncle Tobias earlier, Allison brought me to the other wolves. She started introducing me to them as well as James. I remember some of them and I really felt grateful that I met them again.I feel so empty for how many years and now, everything will change. My life will never be the same as everything came back to me. I have gotten the information I need, and I just hope that there is new information which will surprise me again.“Are you ready?”I raised my head when I heard James. He was already standing in front of the door, his hands were inside his pant's pocket.A smile formed on my lips, nodding my head in response.“I'm ready to attack, James. Once we finish dealing w
~Emerald~It feels so weird that I suddenly hesitated to something I can't explain. Alpha Killian killed my parents. He caused horrible events in my life as well to those wolves who survived. They suffered because of him. I suffered from the attack he did and death is the only way for us to achieve the justice we wanted to have. I should not hesitate in killing him. I should not feel empathy for him. This is what I need to bear in mind before meeting him. I have to prepare myself before seeing Alpha Killian because I know what could be the consequences of it. There would be one group that would rise on top, and it should be the Crescent Moon Pack. James and I will beat them down altogether.“Allison will be guiding you the way through Killian's pack because she knows the way there. She has been spying on the pack for a long time now for us to gather information about them, Alpha King,” Uncle Tobias uttered, which made me turn my head at Allison.She smiled at me and said, “I am the
~Emerald~Uncle Tobias did nothing but just cried on his bed. Allison did her best to comfort her father while I was in the corner, gritting my teeth. I just can't believe that my father's brother will do this to my parents. It's been a while since I have never seen him. If I saw him, I would never allow him to escape.He will pay for what he did to my parents and to all the innocent wolves who died during the attack. “What's the name of that f*cking Alpha?” James mumbled, making uncle Tobias turn his head towards the direction of the Alpha.He's not aware who James is, and I know he's wondering right now based on how he looked at James.“You look familiar to me. I know I have seen you once…” Uncle Tobias uttered, his eyes fixed on James.He was trying to remember the face of James. I don't know where they met, but it won't be shocking to me. Uncle Tobias was once a beta and definitely, they have seen each other before.“Dad, he's the Alpha King. The man with Emerald was her husband
~Emerald~Allison opened the door of the small cabin. My heart continued pounding as I waited for uncle Tobias to appear in front of us.“This is dad's cabin, Emerald. He preferred to stay alone and it's his request. We have a separate house, but I always came here to send his food.” Allison explained, making me nod my head.James' hand was on my waist. He's making sure that he's next to me and I didn't complain at all. I just let him do whatever he wanted.The moment Allison pushed the door, my eyes never blinked. I just don't want to skip the chance to see the face of uncle Tobias, the beta I used to talk to when I was still young.But, I never imagined our reunion to be like this. It will be different, but my respect for him will never change.“Emerald, meet my father.”Allison moved away from the door, allowing us to see the man on the bed. My eyes fixed on the thin man, lying on the bed. He's awake and looks surprised upon looking at me.I bit my lower lips, trying to keep my tea
~Emerald~Allison looks surprised from what she heard. Her gaze fixed at James, her eyes filled with different questions. I know this information shocked her.“W-Wait, you are the Alpha King?” Allison asked, her tone not sounding convinced as of the moment. “Is this true, Emerald?”I smiled from her question, making Allison even more confused as she looked at me. I know they have never seen the face of the Alpha King before because of the fact that they are hiding for a long time now. They just heard some speculations about him and now, they will be able to meet him.“I apologize for not telling you about the man beside me, Allison. Yes, he's Alpha James, the Alpha King of the entire wolves.” I muttered, making Allison gasp.Her eyes went back to James, and she started looking at him, as if she wanted to make sure that she can recognize the face of the Alpha King.After a minute of staring at James, I was surprised by what Allison did. She bent her head and spoke.“It is an honor for
~Emerald~“Where's the others, Allison?”As I recovered from crying, I immediately asked Allison about the other survivors. Allison lifted her gaze and she looked at me straight in the eyes.“After we escaped the pack, we decided to move to a place that is hard for the enemies to find out. Only the survivors knew the way out of the pack. We lived there for many years, Emerald.” Allison replied, making me nod my head.I turned my head at James and he furrowed his brows.“I want to go with Allison, James. I need to meet the other pack members of my parents who survived.” I muttered, and James nodded his head.He called one of our warriors and told them to find a spot where we could hide our cars. After that, we decided to follow Allison to their spot. It's far from the abandoned pack of my parents and this took us an hour.James was on my side as we passed the secluded woods.“They will be happy if they find out that you are alive, Emerald, especially my father. He's been thinking of yo
~Emerald~I took out my gun from my coat and pointed it towards the woman in front of me. James even prepared himself in case the woman did something to us.“And who are you?” I asked back at her.A woman standing in front of me. She looks young, and I can guess that we are the same age. I furrowed my brows as I looked at her, thinking where I met her.She's familiar to me. Her face doesn't look new in my eyes and I can prove that I really know this woman.“I should be the first one to ask this question to the both of you,” she uttered, her teeth slightly gritted. “What are you doing here?”As the woman spoke, I tried to remember her face. I'm certain about what I felt about it.“This place is already abandoned. No one lived here anymore. What brought you to this place?” James muttered, finally decided to speak up.The woman turned her head at James, her brows furrowed as she looked at him from head to toe. I was just observing the woman as I hoped I could recognize her face.I have t
~Emerald~“Are you ready to explore the abandoned pack?”I turned my head at James when he spoke behind me. We are already on our way to the said abandoned pack where my parents owned before. It was abandoned for many years and no one lived there anymore.As he mentioned that place, I suddenly felt my heart pounding so fast. I can't help but feel nervous. This will be the first time that I will see the pack again after so many years. I couldn't imagine what it looked like after everything that happened.“I don't know what I should feel, James. After so many years of not knowing what happened before, this would be the first time again that I will step on that land. I know everything will be different now.” I blurted, and he pressed my hands.“I know, but I'm here. Everything will be fine.”As James blurted these words to me, I smiled at him. He kissed the back of my hands and when he did that, all the doubts I felt just disappeared.Having him in my lowest moments really helped me to c
