“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~As we stepped our feet at the venue, there were groups of wolves coming our way. My eyes were to them and to Gideon next to me. He was already looking at me, a smirk written on his lips.“Alpha Gideon,” one of them shook hands with Gideon. “It's my pleasure to see you here.”The other wolves bowed their heads at Gideon. I was surprised because of how they respected Gideon.“It's my pleasure to see you all here at the ball. I hope we'll enjoy this night,” Gideon responded to them.The wolf who spoke first at Gideon suddenly turned his head at me. A smile plastered on his lips as he spoke, “Pleasure to meet your girlfriend, Alpha Gideon.”My mouth widened from what I had heard. Just when I was about to speak up, Gideon exceeded me.“I wanted to introduce this girl next to me. Her name is Emerald, and she was special to me,” Gideon uttered to them, his attention was on me. I could feel my heart pounding from what he said. I was just surprised because of what Gideon was telling
