~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.
~Emerald~Two days passed by since the last encounter I had with Alpha James and Katie. I haven't seen James since then. Maybe he realized that Katie is what he really wants. I just hoped he won't go back anymore.“We are not sure about that,” Lilian uttered, and I rolled my eyes at him.I was at the training field, ready to go home to the cabin. I've been practicing since morning and my body is already tired. A rest is what I need, and also I can't wait to see my son, Jacob.I was walking down the hall when I suddenly stopped. There were footsteps from the woods which made my eyes turn to it. My brows were furrowed because I hadn't seen anything there.“I think I'm really so tired from this busy day.”I shook my head and continued walking when the footsteps were getting closer to my direction. This time I am so sure about what I heard. Using my nose, I smelled something.A smell of dark blood running in their veins. My heartbeat started racing with that realization, and when I looked
~Emerald~“The problem is not with mine,” I answered her, my head tilted above. “You are the problem, Natalia. If I were you, learn to accept defeat. That's what you can do for your peace.” Natalia gritted her teeth. She walked over to where I was standing and made sure to be a meter away from me. Natalia doesn't want to stay close to me as her way of defense.“If I were you, I should stop blaming myself. You should be kneeling in front of me, begging me to let you go, or else…” she smiled at me first before she added her sentence, “You can beg me just to end your life because I'm not giving you an option at all.”I clenched my fists beneath, while looking at her. Natalia didn't have to tell me about this because I know she doesn't want to let me go. She will not let this moment go. Natalia will kill me and I won't let her do that to me. Jacob is still waiting for me. I can't leave him, not now.‘How can we escape from them?’ Lilian asked.Even my wolf didn't know what we were suppo
~Emerald~“Emerald!”James grabbed my hand. I looked at him with my eyes flaming in anger from what he did. This Alpha didn't want to leave me alone. I took his hand off my wrist and threatened him with my stare.“Don't touch me, Dumbass!” I barked at him. James closed his eyes, and then he took a deep breath. My brows were furrowed when I saw him with that expression not until I found something from his left arm.“We should keep going. I need to cure my scratch,” he answered in his tired voice.I got stunned in my direction, feeling clueless about what I should do to him. James' life was in danger because of me and if something happened to him, the wolves will blame me for this.I took a deep breath and looked at him, straight in the eyes. James started to pale because of the scratch he got from the wolf. There could be a possibility that the wolf who scratched him might drink something to kill their enemies through the scratch.‘Yes, they used something and a scratch he got might b
