~Emerald~I couldn't explain the pounding of my heart the moment I saw his face. The fear that I felt from earlier thinking about James suddenly disappeared.I ran into his direction and never hesitated to hug him. He wrapped his hands around my waist, pulling me closer.“I'm fine, Baby,” James mumbled to me.I bit my lower lips as I tried to prevent myself from crying, but it's unstoppable. I have no control with my eyes and just let my tears streamed on my cheeks.James' hug tightened against mine. I can feel the pounding of my heart from what James did to me. He wanted to let me feel his presence and even if he wasn't hugging me, I can already feel his presence by just seeing him from afar. That was already enough for me.“You have no idea how worried I am because of you. I couldn't stop thinking about the possibility that you might lose the fight with Gideon. He's just too evil, James. He will do everything he can just to bring us down!” I muttered, and he nodded his head.“Yes, I
~Emerald~Allison might have done good to us for one last time, but the fact won't change that she still betrayed me. She ruined our friendship already. She puts my life in danger. Allison simply surrenders me to the enemies and that's unforgivable.“The fact won't change that she still betrayed me, James. I will not forgive her.” I muttered, my heart became numb towards Allison.James just let out a deep breath. He looked at me, nodding his head.“Alright, let's not worry about her anymore. We will respect your decision of not forgiving Allison. We are on your side, Emerald.” James responded, making me smile at him.“Thank you, James. This incident will never happen again. I will make sure to know whom I am going to trust. They can't fool me anymore because that one incident is enough.” I muttered between my gritted teeth.No enemies can fool me anymore. I can feel my eyes suddenly darkening as I said these words to James. He just listened to me and allowed this moment for me to brin
~Emerald~I was stunned by what I said towards Cassandra. Everyone couldn't even help themselves but gasp, while looking at me.“I… I apologize, Cassandra. I didn't mean to imply these words. This has something to do with what happened to me earlier. I hope you will not get mad with me…” I mumbled, and Cassandra smiled.She held my hands, asking me to look at her deep into her eyes.“I understand your situation, Emerald. You were betrayed by Allison and this might be traumatic to you, but I can assure you that no one from our group will betray you. We have been with each other since then. I can't betray you and I will remain your best friend. The best friend that you can always rely on.” Cassandra uttered to me, wholeheartedly.I smiled from what she said, which helped me to calm down. Allison's betrayal to me won't affect my relationship towards them. I still have them who are real and loyal to us. They are enough for me to trust.“Thanks for your understanding, Cass. Let me take a r
~Emerald~When I woke up the next morning, I was surprised with a bouquet. Seeing that starts my morning with a positive attitude. It came from James and it's really heartwarming.“I just loved this man so much.” I muttered, while looking at those flowers he gave me.James even noted that I should see him downstairs. He didn't wake me up because he knows how tiring my life was last night. I was glad that he understood me and I can't wait to go out now to see my son as well.I missed Jacob so much, and I will make sure to spend more time with him today.After doing what I needed to do, I decided to come out of the room. To my surprise, I found Nora there, standing against the wall.I furrowed my brows while looking at her. The moment she noticed me, she started smiling.“Emerald,” Nora uttered, which made me tilt my head. “I apologize for disturbing you, but can we talk?”A deep and heavy breath escaped from my throat after hearing her words. Nora sounded different from last time. I co
~Emerald~After the conversation between me and Nora from earlier, I decided to continue walking as if nothing happened. The words that I've told her from earlier look nothing to me. I am not afraid of her nor of everyone who had plans against me.They couldn't startle me anymore because I've already learned from everything that happened to me. It strengthens me. This made me bolder now.“Emerald.”I stopped from walking when that voice echoed in the living room. I raised my forehead and there I saw Christopher. He's looking at me in his serious expression, which made my brows furrowed.“James is waiting for you in the garden.” He mumbled, which made me smile.“I'm coming there, Christopher.” I responded to him, and Christopher nodded his head to me.He gives way after I attempt to step my feet near his direction. I just smiled at him and started walking to go to where James is.Christopher followed me from the back and even if I won't look back, I know he's behind me. I can feel his
~Emerald~James and I started eating the foods he prepared for our breakfast. We didn't waste the time because there are things that we need to do today, and he has to prepare for tonight's celebration.I really wanted to tell James the thing that has been disturbing my head, but I am worried that I might ruin his victory. I know one of his goals was to eliminate Gideon away from our world to bring back peace and I just can't imagine ruining it.Therefore, I decided to keep my mouth shut but open my eyes to the possible events that will happen. I even hoped that my vision would show something to me about Gideon, but after they altered my memories, my vision never worked anymore.“Are you done?”I tilted my head when I heard him speak. James' furrowed brows met my eyes. He's looking at me already and his expression could not be described.“Yes, I'm done already.” I responded to him, making sure that my tone remained the same. I just don't want James to notice that something is not righ
~Emerald~My blood started to boil when I suddenly heard that voice. I turned my head to where the voice came and there, I found Nora. She's standing in front of us, her attention was on James.“Tell Levi to see me. I need to talk to him.” James muttered towards Nora.Her attention turned at me and then she smiled. I lifted my head and never showed any emotions towards her.“Copy, Alpha James,” Nora responded to him, and she continued, “Enjoy your day, Luna Emerald.”Nora didn't wait for my response as she turned away. I followed her with my eyes until she disappeared, and then I turned my head back to James. He's smirking at me, as if something is in his mind.“What's funny?” I asked him.“Your reaction doesn't just look good when your gaze lands towards Nora. I know what you are thinking but trust me, nothing is going between us. She's just the head warrior, and our conversation is just part of her work.” James explained to me, making me let out a deep and heavy breath.“I'm not jea
~Emerald~The moment James agreed that Nora and I should have a fight, it made my day brighter. I really wanted to do this to her so that I could get back on her for everything she said to me. She even belittled me and I will prove her wrong. I will show them that Emerald should not be belittled and those who dared to do that with me shall face their consequences.“Emerald.”I stopped from walking back inside the mansion upon hearing her voice. I was just thinking about Nora, and then she just appeared from somewhere.“Nora,” I mumbled to her, my reaction remained the same.“What did you just say to Alpha James?” Nora asked, her voice sounded unpleasant.I furrowed my brows from what she said, my arms crossed together.“I didn't say anything to him, Nora. What are you trying to say?” I responded, but she just laughed.“Come on, Emerald. I know you're behind James' decision. He's preparing for a fight between the two of us, and it will be happening tonight. I thought we're good now?” N
~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
