~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
~Emerald~“It's been a while, Emerald, the banished Luna of the Crescent Moon Pack.”These are the words that came out from Katie's mouth when they reached us in our direction. I couldn't believe she had the guts to speak up to me after what she did. She made a drama in front of Nicholas. Katie accused me of hurting her wherein she was really the one who dared to hurt me. I was mad. I wanted to smash her face to make her pay from what she did to me before, but I calmed myself. There's no way I would lower myself because of them.“I am also pleased to meet the second option,” I uttered, my head tilted above.Katie's eyes became gloomy, her face couldn't believe what she just heard.‘You nailed it!’ Lilian screamed at the back of my head.“Second option?” She asked in disbelief. “Where the hell did you get that idea?” I laughed, covering my mouth with my hands as if I mistakenly said it. I even looked at James who was quiet on the other side. His eyes were also gloomy, but it's focus
~Emerald~“What did you just say?”Katie could not believe what she just heard from me. Her fists were still clenched while her eyes were fixed at me. She looks so mad and seeing that reaction to her face made me like it. I wanted this day to come for all of us. I have been waiting to this day that Katie, James, and I would have an encounter.My wish has been answered. They are already in front of my face, looking like an angry dragon who wants to blow fire at my face, especially Katie. I already expected that she would have an exaggerated reaction upon seeing me again.“I don't need to elaborate this for you, Katie, but you can just talk to your husband. You can ask him what he was doing at my pack, or you can ask him what pushes him to ask my forgiveness again,” I uttered to Katie. She turned her head at James with her unpleasant reaction. I crossed my arms while looking at them. I wanted to see with my two eyes how Katie would react to this.“What the hell is she talking about, Ja
~Emerald~The moment we finished talking, James and I went back to where our visitors were. We already talked about what we need to do, and I have to trust James. He knows exactly what he's doing, and I don't have to question that.“What's your decision, Alpha James?” Alpha Nyx asked, his lips curled.I let out a silent sigh, while looking at Malverra. This woman really captured my attention. I could feel something mysterious about her and I know my instincts so well. I just hope that I was mistaken this time and that Malverra is not an enemy at all.“My wife and I already talked about it and we agreed. We would like to let all of you stay here for a week.” James declared, making Alpha Nyx and his wife smile at us in response.“That's great, Alpha James. I can't wait to talk to you about some important things that will benefit both our packs. I swear you will never regret the information I bring for you.” Nyx responded to James.James just listened to what Nyx had uttered and me as we
~Emerald~The words that Alpha Nyx had mentioned gave me a chilling reaction throughout my body. Having friends with that mysterious woman next to him doesn't feel right. I don't know, there's something with her that I should avoid.“I'm glad to meet Luna Emerald of the Crescent Moon Pack. I've heard so many things with you, and I'm dreaming of meeting you in person.” Malverra uttered, her lips suddenly widened when she smiled.She's beautiful, sophisticated, and well-mannered, but I don't like her vibes. However, I couldn't say this because she's not doing anything to me. I will keep whatever I felt with her deep within, not until she provokes me if ever.“It's also my pleasure to meet you, Luna Malverra. You are so welcome to our pack and actually all of you. Our pack is open to our ally pack as long as they don't dare to fight with us.” I remarked without hesitation.They suddenly fell into silence when I said those words and then Luna Malverra started chuckling.“Yes, of course. A
~Emerald~James and I walked straight to where the siblings were brought by the pack wolves earlier. As we walked, I couldn't help but think about them. I was thinking about their reaction when they saw me and at the same time, I am hoping that they settled their problems.They don't have to kill each other because of the same man. They are sisters, and should talk with each other.“We're here.”I tilted my head when James spoke. My eyes turned at him and I found him looking at me. A deep and heavy sigh escaped from my throat in response to James.“I'm ready to face them.”These are the words that I last told him before James pushed the door to open. When James finally opened the door, my eyes immediately landed to the siblings, lying on the bed. Their eyes were now open, and they immediately looked at us.When they saw me, fears suddenly covered their eyes, which made me sigh. I have this feeling that I brought fear to them.“A-Alpha James…” Jessica said, her eyes diverted to James.
~Emerald~I punched both of them in their stomach to stop them from fighting. The siblings flew away, a meter from my direction. I could feel my eyes change into different colors, threatening to transform to my wolf's form.“I told you both to stop fighting. You both are hard-headed!” I yelled, but nobody answered me.I turned my heads at the siblings, and they grimaced in pain, while lying on the ground. Nobody was moving, but they were still breathing.I shut my eyes, calming myself when my blood started to boil. I have to control myself, or else worse things might happen here.“Are you okay, Luna Emerald?”A wolf approached me. I nodded my head and stood straight.“Bring them to the pack doctor. They already learned their lesson.” I muttered towards the wolf.She was stunned by what I had said, but had no choice at all. At this moment, I turned away, not tempted to look at the siblings anymore.I know for a moment that they will find me to ask forgiveness for what they caused me. T
~Emerald~It was a new day in the pack and everything went back to normal. The wolves of the pack are now busy with their everyday work, while I am busy taking good care of Jacob.James is not around. He's with the warriors as they have to stroll the pack, making sure that nobody's spying on us. It's a great day for me, despite what happened last night. I tried to surround myself with positivity, as I don't want to attract negative attention because I'm with my son.We were currently outside the mansion because I planned to stroll Jacob around. My friends were there as well, and we were laughing while talking about random things when someone suddenly interrupted us.“Luna Emerald, we need your help!”I turned my head to someone who screamed. My heart skipped for a moment as I looked at her.“What's wrong?” I asked in my worried tone.The woman looked at me, her eyes filled with horror. I couldn't help but furrow my brows because of her reaction.“Someone's fighting and we couldn't sto
~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
