~Emerald~The moment Nora uttered those words, I couldn't help but smirk. I don't know, but I don't take her words seriously because I know that James is capable of throwing them out anytime he wants. James will never allow someone to dictate him and those words that Nora had said will never come true.I know James will throw them away once I win this battle between the two of us and for it to come true, I have to bring Nora down.“Say whatever you wanted to say, Nora. I know my husband better than you do. We already talked, and you will be shocked with his condition after I beat you.” I mumbled between my smirks.Nora gritted her teeth. She just can't accept that after what she said, I wasn't affected at all. I have this feeling that she just said those words to weaken me without knowing that I already taught myself to handle whatever Nora prepared against me.‘Just ready yourself. Nora has many plans just to get you down. Do not let her trick you!’ Lilian reminded me at the back of
~Emerald~‘Emerald, be careful with your decision. Don't let your empathy win. Nora will use this to beat you!’I tilted my head after hearing these words from Lilian. She just reminds me about it, so I let out a deep breath. Lilian is right.If I let my empathy win over my heart, this might lead me into disaster. I am so certain that Lilian will use this against me. Well, everybody does, so I should teach myself to stop being kind all the time. I have to teach myself that being kind should not be applied to everyone, especially to a woman like Nora.“How would I tell him about the tragic event that happened to me? What's the purpose of doing that if he has found his family?” Nora mumbled, which stunned me.I could feel my heart pounding so fast when these words came out from her mouth. I don't know, but I have this bad feeling about what she will say next to me.“Who is the father of your child, Nora?” I muttered.Despite the nervousness I felt, I still asked these words from her. I
~Emerald~Nora's reaction couldn't be explained as she looked at me straight in the eyes. The way she gritted her teeth, I know for a moment that I made it. I made her mad and this is what I aimed for. This would help me find her weakness so that I could use this to beat her down.“Do you really believe that Alpha James will stay with you for the rest of his life?” Nora muttered, which made me furrow my brows at her.I even tilted my head, meeting her gaze without looking away. This will make her think that I am not affected by what she's telling me about.“You are not James, Nora. You don't know what his heart is telling you. I am married to him and we had a child. He promised me that he will spend the rest of his life with me and I trusted him. I know that he has his words and there's nothing you can do about it.” I muttered at him. Nora gritted his teeth upon hearing these words from me. Her eyes were telling me how much she wanted to kill me now.“Let's see, Emerald. Let's see wh
~Emerald~After I spoke to Nora, I used my fast moves to reach her direction. Nora was surprised when she found out that I was already in front of her.At this moment, I didn't hesitate to give her a single punch, making her fly away. This time, she was unable to help herself get up from the ground. Nora loses her consciousness. She failed to endure the pain of my attack.Her father and the rest of their allies ran into her direction. I remained standing in my direction, watching them as they tried to wake up Nora.On the other hand, Nora's father walked into my direction, his expression could not be explained.“What have you done to my daughter!?” Lester yelled, his hand pointing at me.I shook my head and just met his gaze as he slowly approached me.“Nora didn't make it as simple as that, Lester. It's a fight between the two of us, and it's stated in the rules that whoever wins shall stay standing. I was left standing in here while Nora lost her consciousness, which means she faile
~Emerald~Lester was stunned upon what James had uttered. He tried to escape from the grasp of the warriors, but they never allowed him to escape. Lester's eyes suddenly diverted to me and his expression darkened.“This is all your fault! I will never forgive you from what you did to my daughter. I swear you will pay for it!” Lester yelled at me in his wide eyes.Instead of fighting him back, I decided to keep my mouth shut, but keep my eyes on him. Just because of what he did, it provokes James.He ran into Lester's direction and punched him in the face. I didn't expect James to do this, so I immediately stopped him from punching Lester again.“You really don't respect me, Lester! You are just a warrior of this pack, and it doesn't matter if you're a legendary wolf. I just want to remind you that I became a legend first. Don't you dare mess with my wife. I will never allow anybody to disrespect her!” James exclaimed at Lester.On the other hand, Lester's face could not be described.
~Emerald~After the fight that happened earlier, James and I talked to the wolves. James also made sure that no one's watching us from afar. He also checked the warriors if they were able to send Lester and his allies outside the pack.At this moment, I go back to the mansion alone. James needed to talk to his warriors, so I told him that I will go first. When I arrived inside, Cassandra and the others met me in the living room.They stood up altogether, looking at me. I couldn't help but chuckle upon seeing the reaction to their faces.“What's wrong with you guys?” I asked, and my eyes diverted to Jacob.My heart almost melted when I saw him smile. Jacob grew up so fast, and he's good at recognizing people now.“How's the fight between you and Nora?” Katie asked, which made me let out a sigh.“Everything is good. They were sent away from the pack. James made the agreement real.” I responded to her.Katie let out a relief sigh which confused me. I looked at her with my curious express
~Emerald~I smiled after hearing those heartwarming words from Alpha James. Even if he didn't say that, I still know that he loves me. After all, his actions speak louder. My heart could recognize the love of James for me. He doesn't need to always show it to me.“I know, James, but we all know that time is important here. Enemies are still around us. We have to make sure to get rid of them and—”James didn't allow me to finish what I was about to say when he covered my lips with his thumb. I just felt my heart pounding so fast because of that.“I don't want to hear your complaint, Emerald. Just let me do this to you and perhaps, enemies are easy to deal with. I have my beta and gamma to take good care of them. They knew what to do if enemies showed up.” James explained to me.I let out a deep and heavy breath after James uttered those words. I even looked at him deep into his eyes before responding.“What are we going to do with our enemies? Gideon is still alive, and his head is not
~Emerald~After James pulled out his thing from me, he placed a soft kiss on my forehead. I couldn't help but blush from what we just did, making him chuckle. “Are you tired?” He asked in his soft voice. I blushed and said, “No, I'm not at all.”“If you're tired, and you can't walk, just let me know. I am willing to carry you back to our room. I know what we did was tiring because we just stood up the whole thing. You can—”I could no longer let him finish his words because my face kept on blushing, so I cut him off. Knowing James, he's not afraid to say whatever he wants to say. “I'm just fine, James. Don't worry because I can handle myself,” I responded, making him smile. “Alright then,” He uttered and walked through the table to get the bouquet. “I forgot to give you this.” I looked at the bouquet that he's holding, and my face flushed again. I suddenly realized something, so I met his gaze. “Tell me, James. Do you really want to surprise me? Is it the reason you called me to
~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
