~James~Emerald's reaction suddenly changed because of what I had said. She was stunned for almost one minute and when she recovered from that, she started laughing.I grit my teeth seeing her like that. Emerald doesn't look like this. I know Gideon is controlling her right now, and I was still confused how on earth did he manage to do that to my wife.‘Gideon is desperate to beat you down. Of course, he will find a way. We are not just the immortals living here, James. There were still a lot of kinds that we haven't met yet.’ Logan explained to me and I nodded my head. My wolf is right. Gideon may seek help from the other kind who are good at controlling someone's mind and this might be the reason that he's in my wife's head.“You're truly smart, James. You guessed it so well.” Gideon uttered in my wife's voice.“Get out of her mind, Gideon. Show yourself to me and let's end this. You are such a cowardly creature who wants to hide instead of facing your enemy. If you want me down, t
~James~I gulped from what Gideon had uttered. Levi was calling my name to leave, but I never listened. I stayed in my position and waited for Emerald to shoot me on my chest according to Gideon's order.“Go ahead, Gideon. Tell my wife to kill me and let's see.” I responded, unaffected from what he said. At this point, Emerald's hand changed position. It was now pointing to my chest. I didn't bother to look away and wait for the sound of the gun. However, I wasn't expecting the next thing that happened. Emerald suddenly pointed the gun towards her chest, leaving me stunned in my direction. My mouth widened, hands were shaking as I could already guess what she's going to do.“I'm sorry, James. Gideon had to go away out of my head and I struggled to push him out. If I kill myself, this would be the solution.” Emerald declared, and tears started streaming down her face. “Emerald, no! Don't do that, please. You don't have to hurt yourself. I love you and I will do everything I can to h
~James~“Your wife survived death, but she was still unconscious. The bullet is really deep, but I already removed it, Alpha James.”These are the words that I heard from the pack doctor before she left. They even told me that we can bring Emerald back to the house, which we did, and the pack doctor will check her there.And now my wife was in our room. She was sleeping peacefully on our bed with a bandage on her chest. I clenched my fists as I looked at her in that situation.“Leave us.” I spoke to them.Levi and Cassandra let out a deep and heavy breath after they heard what I had said. They don't have a choice but to leave me.I need to be alone with my wife. She was still unconscious right now and according to the pack doctor, there's still no assurance when she would wake up. I was hoping that it would not take too long. I couldn't wait for her to wake up and seeing her in this situation made my heart shattered into pieces.It was so difficult seeing my wife like this. We still h
~Emerald~I was stunned from what I heard towards Levi. He just told us the news that we have been waiting for. The news that is pleasing to my ears. Finding Gideon is what I wanted. I will make him pay for what he did to me.All this time, it was him in my head every time I got mad. He was trying to manipulate me, but he couldn't because James was there. There is no way that he will allow Gideon to win.“Prepare the warriors. We will go there to get him.” James responded to Levi.His beta nodded his head in response and left us. At this point, James turned his head at me, his lips curled forming a smirk. I know what he's thinking now and that's what I feel as well.I couldn't wait any longer to find Gideon. He has to pay everything he did to us and I will be coming with them when they attack his pack.“I will—”Just before I could even finish my words, James stopped me from talking.“I know what's in your mind now, Emerald, but my answer is no. You can't go with us because it's too d
~Emerald~Allison and I ran the way out of the mansion. My heart started beating so fast as we were getting closer to the door. I have this strong feeling that something is not right outside.“Be ready, Allison. I can feel that something is not right!” I muttered towards Allison, and she nodded her head, preparing herself for whatever is waiting for us from outside.As I was running the way, I couldn't help but think of Jacob. I just hope that they are not outside after I heard that howl from a wolf.But when I came out of the door, I was stunned from my direction when I saw what's happening outside. I could even feel my heart stop pounding, my hands clenched in anger.“Gideon.”I gritted my teeth when my eyes suddenly diverted to the familiar figure of a man in front of us. Behind him are his warriors, blocking the warriors of the Crescent Moon Pack. On the right corner, I saw Katie and Christopher. They were stopped by Gideon's warriors and on the left corner, I saw Cassandra huggin
~Emerald~“You are pregnant, Luna Emerald.”My heart beats so fast again when I remember these words from the pack doctor. She just informed me about my pregnancy. A pregnancy that I can't wait to tell my husband about.Alpha James, the new Alpha King of Crescent Moon Pack was my husband. We got married almost a year ago and now I could still recall that very moment when my life had changed. It was just a forced marriage. We both agreed on the name of our packs.As time goes by, I have formed feelings for him. A feeling that I know I am scared of telling him. James and I were not real mates. He hasn't found his real mate yet. We have agreed that once he finds her, he will leave me. He would reject our marriage and I can have my freedom.I agreed at first, but after a year of being together, I have learned that I can't lose him. I can't give him to anyone, especially now that he will become a father to our child. He has no idea about my pregnancy and I can't wait to tell him about it.
~Emerald~On that same evening, everyone was called to introduce the newly found mate of Alpha James. This would be so painful for me to think that my husband of almost a year, the father of my child will abandon me for his newly found mate. But what can I do about it? Even though it's painful, I have to face this. I have to face them and show everyone what I've got for Alpha James to consider me. The child was my last hope for Alpha James to keep me. Everyone will know the child that I was carrying tonight when Alpha James introduced his mate in front of the wolves.“Are you sure you have to do this?”My wolf, Lilian, spoke through my head. I nodded my head and looked at myself in the mirror for the last time before going to the venue.“I will do this for my child.” Lilian just takes out a deep sigh. She didn't speak anymore as I left the room to follow everyone at the venue.It feels so hard to step my legs with my body trembling. My tears were about to streamed down once again bu
“I, the Alpha King of this pack, reject you, Emerald Howard as my wife. Therefore, Katie, my fated mate will replace your position as my wife and the Luna of this pack.”Everyone listened as the rejection began. I was stunned in my direction. I wanted to leave and run away but my legs were paralyzed. My eyes don't want to leave Alpha James as he rejected me in front of everyone, in front of the wolves I used to love and served for many years.He continued. “With the power vested upon me, my decision is irrevocable.” After I heard those words from my husband, I pushed myself to stand up even though I am still in pain. Tears kept on falling from my eyes as I walked near them. I don't care what they will think of me. I don't care what Alpha James will do to me because what's important for me is I have done something to keep him. My legs folded as I kneeled in front of them. Commotions happened because of what I did. Alpha James and his mate, Katie were staring at me.“Please, don't do

~James~“Damn it!”I couldn't help but to cuss after Emerald walked away. It wasn't really my intention to tell her those words. She just provoked me, and I really don't like myself when I am mad.‘And now she's mad at you.’ Logan uttered, and I let out a sigh.‘I know and it wasn't my intention. I was just worried about her and for our son. She didn't trust me, Logan!’ I responded to my wolf.Logan lets out a deep breath before he speaks again.‘We can't blame her, James. You know that there were reasons why Emerald reached that point. She cared for everybody.’ Logan mumbled.I let out a deep breath and used my hands to wash my face. I was anxious right now, but it doesn't mean I don't love her. My wolf knew how much I wanted to hug her earlier, but I wanted her to learn her lesson.She should not decide quickly. It will only make things worse. Emerald already knew what would happen if she surrendered to Gideon.That f*cking Alpha doesn't care anymore. He's desperate to bring me down
~Emerald~I could not help but bite my lower lips when I heard what James had mentioned to me. It feels excruciating on my side, but I just remind myself that I was the one who made a mistake.James is just disappointed, and I have to understand him. He just cared for me, that's why he doesn't want me to leave, but I am just being careless.“Look, I know I offended you earlier and I understand what you feel now. However, I didn't continue it. I go back in here because I realized that you were right.” I muttered to him.He turned his head at me and there, I saw how dark his face was. It looks like James wanted to eat me alive and if only a look can kill, I'm already on the ground now.“You just realized that because I caught you leaving. Do you really think I wouldn't know it?”I gasped from what he said, leaving me stunned once again while staring at him. Even his voice is still so cold right now.“I'm sorry for what I did, James. I've done that because I wanted to help. We have been
~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~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
