~Emerald~I grit my teeth when these words escaped from Killian's mouth. He just gave me a strong reason to end his life as soon as possible.“Who are you to say that to me? You don't own my life, and you will never be!” I blurted, still with my gritted teeth.Killian nodded his head abruptly as if he's afraid to argue with me. This is much better because my goal is to make him scared of me. I want to make him feel that if there's someone aside from the Alpha King that he must be scared of, it should be me.He should be scared of a woman who's seeking justice for her parents’ death.“You have to listen to me, Emerald. I know what will be your future the moment I learned that you're my daughter. Something good is waiting for you and I can give that to you. He can provide you the life you wanted and it's not James. He can't give the happiness that your heart ever wanted.” Killian mumbled, and he didn't care about the consequences of his words.He wasn't thinking that if James heard thes
~Emerald~Killian ran into my direction. He gave me a hug and I never expected him to do that. My heart pounded so fast because of what he did, leaving me stunned for a moment.“You will not regret giving me another chance, Emerald. I will fix everything that I did in the past. We can start over. I can still be a good father to you. I will make you feel that true love of a father that Reagan failed to give you before. You will have everything that I owned. Your life will change in my presence and I will make sure of that.”My jaw clenched from what Killian had told me. I narrowed my eyes to the wolves behind him, and then I saw the priceless reaction from their faces. They didn't expect what they had learned from us.“You will give me everything?” I asked, making sure that I sounded pretty well. Killian should feel that I was sincere when talking to him. I just hope that he won't notice I was faking it.“Yes, Emerald. I will give you everything you need. Money, power, and anything you
~Emerald~My expression totally darkened. After Killian spoke, I used my gun and shot him directly into his heart. It created a sound, almost weakening the hearing of those wolves who are with us.Killian's hug on me loosened. His eyes filled with tears as I looked at him and for no reason, I just felt some tears streamed down from my eyes.“Y-You did the right thing, E-Emerald…” Killian uttered for the last time before he fell to the ground.I grip the gun tightly as I look at him. He was no longer breathing, an indication that I successfully took the life of my real father. If he just didn't do something horrible to us before, I would have forgiven him. I would have accepted him as my father. But the pain he gave me is unforgivable.I will never show him mercy for what he did to my loved ones and I won't allow their lives to go for nothing just because he's my father.“Emerald.”As someone spoke behind me, I was back to my senses. I turned around and saw James standing. At this mome
~Emerald~After we dealt with the pack of my real father, we returned to the hideout of the survivors where everyone waited for us. The moment that Allison announces to them about the death of Killian, everyone is filled with happiness.They have been waiting for this moment to come. Knowing Killian is dead already, they can't wait to come out from their hideout and live freely outside. However, the survivors realized that they had no place to go.James offered them to stay in the pack, and they are scheduled to be taken by morning. At this moment, we decided to return to the Crescent Moon Pack. I couldn't stay any longer as I feel that my son has been waiting for me.We will go back to Allison's place tomorrow morning to help them pack up to move in our pack. I just can't explain the happiness in my heart knowing that I would give them a better place where they feel safe and at home.“Emerald!”As we were about to come out from the saviors' hideout, Allison suddenly called my name. S
~Emerald~I was waiting for James to say something, while the pounding of my heart didn't stop. Allison kept banging into my head and thinking about her made me nervous.I know this kind of feeling. Something was telling me and I could not disregard my instincts.“Let's go back to their hideout.”My face brightened when James declared these words to me. He has finally made up his mind. I felt relief because my heart was telling me that I should go back to the hideout where the survivors were staying.“Let's go, James. Our son will be alright because Cassandra was there. She won't allow something to happen to Jacob,” I muttered, and James nodded his head to me.He immediately instructed his warrior to bring us back to the survivors, which the warrior never declined. After several minutes of driving, James and I rushed back to the hideout where the survivors are. The place is far from the abandoned pack. It took us almost half an hour before we arrived there.On the other hand, my heart
~Emerald~Allison lifted her head as she looked at me deep into my eyes. I could feel my breathing slow down while waiting for whatever she was about to say to me.“I-I didn't know them, Emerald. It was an unexpected attack, thirty minutes after you and Alpha James left the pack. We never expected their arrival. The warriors that the Alpha King left for us fought them, but they couldn't. They are powerful and we failed to stop them. I thought I would die but the Moon Goddess still gave me another chance to live…”I clenched my fists when I heard these words from Allison. Her tears never stopped falling as she explained this to me. I wondered who did attack the hideout. Killian has been stopped.I killed him already. There is no way that he can survive death.“What did they say that you still remember, Allison?” James asked her, making Allison look at him.Allison bit her lower lips as she tried to prevent her tears from falling. It took her a minute before she responded to James.“The
~Emerald~As I made sure Allison was in good condition, I looked for a perfect timing to make my plan. It was still dark from outside. James and our son are in the room already. He knows that I am with Allison as I need to accompany her until she feels better.But, little did James know, I will be leaving the pack to find Gideon. Finding him wouldn't be hard for I know he was just around, waiting for the perfect moment.This is entirely wrong, but I have to be selfless. I am doing this for the sake of everybody because I'm so f*cking tired of the killings just because of me.‘Your plans will never work, Emerald. It will just worsen the situation!’ Lilian reacted, and she never stopped while I was sneaking the way out of the mansion.I grit my teeth and replied to her through mind communication.‘Just trust me, Lilian. I am doing this for the sake of everyone!’ I responded to her, but she just shook her head.‘You're putting everyone in danger. Do you really think Gideon will listen to
~Emerald~I could not help myself but to let out a deep and heavy breath when I realized what I just did. I just realized that I am getting careless now.‘You won't listen to me.’ Lilian mumbled, making me bite my lower lips.I made a mistake of letting my emotions overpower me. Never did I imagine the consequences that I am about to face just because of my careless actions. Fortunately, James was there. He stopped me before I stepped out of the house to start looking for Gideon.And because of my careless action, James is angry. I know how disappointed he was now because of what I almost did, and his reaction is valid.He was just protecting me from a possible worse scenario. James just made me realize that I wasn't alone in this battle, and he's struggling too. He's facing trouble on how he will balance himself, and I was such a selfish wife. I never think of his emotions.James might be considered cold-blooded, but he's just like the normal wolf. He can feel tiredness as well and m
~Emerald~I felt my forehead arched as I looked into the woman's face. When she mentioned those words to me, her expression softened, worries were evident on her face.“What do you mean?” I murmured, not breaking my eyes away from her.“Yes, you heard it clearly, Luna. We need the Alpha's help. Our pack has been occupied by the enemies, and they imprisoned my Alpha father. I have no one else to call for help until the Alpha King flashes into my mind.”I furrowed my brows while listening to what the woman is telling me right now. Seeing her react like that, I knew for a moment that she's telling the truth. It was true that she came here to ask for help, and to talk to James. If she is really from Gideon's group, I know she already forced me out.“Who did conquer your father's pack?” I asked seriously, and then she let out a deep breath.The woman turned her body away and didn't speak for about a minute.“They said, it's Gideon's followers.”I could feel my heart skip a bit after hearin
~Emerald~After talking, James and I finally decided to go to the interrogation area to see the warriors who just betrayed us. While on our way, I couldn't help but grit my teeth thinking about them. We really couldn't believe that there are still enemies to our pack despite the intensive security that we have here. Seems like Gideon is just so desperate to bring us down.“I think you need to go back inside now, Baby,” James mumbled, right in front of the door of the interrogation center.I couldn't help but to furrow my brows while looking at him.“But why? I needed to see them and I also wanted to hear from them how on earth they betrayed us,” I explained, and he held my hands tightly.“Yes, I know, but I don't want you to worry about this anymore. I know they will not admit where Gideon is even if we killed them. But we are not going to end their lives until they surrender and tell us where the f*ck is Gideon's hideout.” James stated.I let out a sigh and thought about it. I'm also
~Emerald~I let go of hugging James after I heard what he just told me. Shocked was already written on my face when I looked at him.“Wait, what?” I mumbled at him.He smiled, and pinched my nose. I met his gaze and when I looked at him, I could not find any fear from him. This just proved that James doesn't worry about Gideon.“Stop worrying about Gideon. He's not letting anyone kill him because he's waiting for me, Baby. Gideon wanted us to face each other. It all started between the two of us and only the two of us can end this war. Therefore, you need to relax and don't worry that much about his presence,” James explained.I know he just doesn't want me to worry about him and I understand him. James only wanted to keep me safe, so he has to make me believe that everything is alright, but it's actually not.I love him, and I know he will get worried about me if I push to kill Gideon myself. James needed strong support from his loved ones and if he's telling the truth that Gideon wa
~Emerald~Ares failed to stop me from showing off myself to Gideon. I am finally in front of them now and Gideon turned his head at me. His eyes widened and he stepped back.“Emerald,” he mumbled to my name.I couldn't help but smirk upon meeting his gaze.“It's been a long time since we last saw each other, Gideon. I thought you were dead.” I muttered to him, but he just smirked.The warriors who betrayed us moved beside Gideon. Shocks were written to their faces now as they saw us here.“A person like me will never die easily. I have nine lives just like cats.” Gideon responded between his smirk.I shook my head, my gun still pointing at him. Ares was already next to me. He's carefully watching our enemies, preparing himself if ever they did a sudden attack.“You're alone, Emerald? Where's your asshole husband? I was expecting him to always be with you, but…” Gideon paused, his eyes turned at Ares. “You were with someone else.”I tilted my head, my lips still curled into a smirk as
~Emerald~“I'm fine, Cass. I just have something important to do.”After saying these words at Cassandra, I turned away. Cassandra called me but I never looked back. I just wanted to keep a distance from James. He needed space, and I've understood that he doesn't want to talk to me as of now.I don't have any idea where my legs are taking me now. My mind was too preoccupied that I never noticed I was already in the dark area of the pack.I just realized it late.“What the hell?” I murmured, upon realizing that.I was about to step my feet away when my eyes suddenly captured something. My brows furrowed as I focused my attention on them and then my teeth clenched.I know something is not right with them. They were talking about something and I stepped forward to listen to what they are talking now.“We have to move faster now. The King is waiting for us. We need to bring Luna to him before the attack happens.”These wolves who are talking in the dark area of the pack were familiar to m
~Emerald~I get my husband, but this is not the moment for us to fight each other. We only have a very short time to deal with Gideon. It's better if we focus all of our attention to find him.“James, calmed down. I already told you about it. It's not Ares' intention. He doesn't know about it at all, so please—listen to me,” I begged.James turned his head at me, his eyes still covered with darkness. I could feel my heart skip a bit while staring at him. James may be tough, but he still has a heart.I know he will listen to me and after a minute of holding Ares, James loosened his grip until he released him. A deep sigh escaped out of my throat, knowing that he listened.“You're grateful that my wife still defended you, Ares. Just so you know, I don't care whoever you are if you did something to my wife,” James murmured at Ares.I bit my lower lips, holding his hand.“That's enough, James. Ares has nothing to do with my outburst. It was my choice. We were just talking earlier when I b
~Emerald~I'm not weak, nor will I get affected by any of my predictions. It was just a mere prediction that can still be changed.But the question is…Is there really a way to change that? Am I powerful enough to prevent whatever I've seen to happen in the near future? Can I still stop the destiny of the Alpha King?And right now, I really don't know. I feel so weak every time I think of James' destiny. His destiny to die in the hands of Gideon and knowing that he's still alive now made me so worried.As I was thinking about that moment where I first predicted James' destiny, my body started trembling in fear. I don't want that to happen. I will not give up the father of my son and the same man who made my heart pound.They say destiny can't be changed, but I'll make history. I will rewrite James' destiny and I will do everything I could to prevent him from dying. Gideon will not succeed. We have to kill him before the prediction comes into reality.And with that thought, I feel calm
~Emerald~When Ares heard those words from me, he just sighed. He even looked at me as if he wanted to read my expression.“Today is the regular visit of those wolves living here, Luna Emerald. Would you like to join me?”I furrowed my brows upon hearing these words from him and narrowed my eyes, hoping to see James. However, I couldn't find him anywhere. But I am certain that he's busy as well with his responsibility, especially now that they have to start looking for Gideon's whereabouts.I have nothing else to do but wait for James and also, I have a responsibility to this pack. I'm their Luna, and it's part of my job to check what the members are doing here.“That would be great, Ares. I am willing to help you.” I responded at Ares.He just chuckled and told me to follow him. Ares brought two of his warriors through our visitations towards the members. I was behind, silently observing the surroundings.The pack members knew me, and it's not hard for them to recognize me. I just fe
~Emerald~“You're right, Knox. I'm truly grateful for having her beside me. She's the woman I have been dreaming about.”I could feel my face blushed when James never hesitated to say these words to me and in front of Alpha Knox. He doesn't care about those who can hear it because what's important to him is to let me know that he never thinks about our location as long as he can say heartfelt words for me.I'm just truly grateful for having him as my husband, and I'm hoping that we will stay bolder until we succeed in erasing Gideon from here.“You should take good care of your wife, Alpha James. She has a lot of potential and after what she showed here, I'm certain that she will be the target of the enemies. They knew that she is so useful to you and to the whole pack,” Alpha Knox uttered, making me look at him.His words felt meaningful. I just can't stop feeling nervous about it.“Of course, Knox. I have my eyes towards my wife and I know our enemies will get interested in her, esp
