~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~Silence suddenly covered the place. Gideon's hold on my arm tightened when James spoke up. Katie's attention was diverted to James.‘I think I need popcorn,’ Lilian reacted. I just shook my head and smirked at what Katie would do to her husband. “What did you just say, James?” Katie blurted at James.“I'm winning Emerald's heart again, Katie. The words she just mentioned to you a while ago were true. I am at their pack because of her. I loved her, and she has been in my heart all this time,” James said, his eyes were staring at me.It feels like my world suddenly stopped moving when my eyes met with James. The sparks that I found from his eyes were telling me that he meant his words. He was telling the truth and I still can't believe that James will do what I asked him to do.“Let's go.”My attention diverted to Gideon when he suddenly spoke near my ear. I turned around and he was pleading with me.There was a deep sigh which escaped from my throat when I looked at James.
