~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~“You are Levi's brother?”The surprise from my face couldn't be denied as I looked at him. The man let out a sigh.He crossed his arms and said, “Unfortunately, yes.”I couldn't help but furrow my brows from what he just said. The disappointment from his face is also obvious as if he doesn't like the idea of being called Levi's brother.“Is there something wrong about being Levi's brother?” I asked him, and the man chuckled.“Nah, it's not. We just don't get along, but we are loyal to the same man. I am loyal to Alpha James and if it's not because of his request that I should come back and join them again, I wouldn't be here.”These are the words that I have heard from the man. I still don't know what his name is, but most of all, I didn't know that Levi has actually a brother.“Levi didn't mention you to us, and I've seen you just now. I've been here in the pack my whole life. How come you're not familiar to me?” I muttered, and the man just chuckled.“Alpha James has numer
~Emerald~I was stunned by what I heard from Ares. He just mentioned the word incoming battle, so I looked at James. My eyes were asking him for an explanation about what Ares just said.“We are preparing our warriors for the coming battle. Gideon's body was no longer in the forest. He's alive, and we're back chasing him again.” James replied, which made me grit my teeth.This information is serious indeed. Gideon is alive because his body was not found in the forest, where James killed him. That asshole is just difficult to kill, and I won't be surprised with that. I don't know who can kill Gideon. I don't know what type of death we should give him to make sure that he will not be able to survive again.But, I know, his life will end soon. We just have to make sure that he can't escape it anymore.“You don't have to worry about the warriors, Alpha James. I will take good care of them. I will make sure that they are ready for the battle that is about to happen.” Ares assured to James.
~Emerald~I was stunned in my direction because of what the woman did to me. She just pulled out a gun all of a sudden and then pointed it in my direction. I couldn't move my body for a while as I was still surprised with her reflexes.She moves like an expert, but what confuses me is her identity. Her face is not familiar to me. I don't know if she came here or maybe an intruder who dared to create a scene in this pack.“Put your gun down.” I warned her, but instead of following my order, the woman just smirked.“Why would I follow you?” She asked, her teeth gritted.I shook my head, putting my hands in the air. I was thinking of a way to escape from her. As of now, I need to be cautious. The gun she was using looks powerful. I don't know where she got this.This is not from James, and I am certain from that.“What do you want from me? What have I done wrong to you?” I asked in my calmed tone.The woman's lips curled, forming a smirk. Her eyes started to darken, her stare on me looke
~Emerald~I cupped James' worried face to grab his attention. He looks preoccupied checking me and I understand that he's just worried about me. But, I am fine now. Ares saved my life, and we owe it to him.“I'm fine, James. The woman didn't hurt me. Ares saved my life, and you have nothing to worry anymore,” I mumbled to him.James let out a deep breath after hearing these words from me. His worried face earlier was replaced by calmness now.“I was about to save you, but Ares came to the rescue. He killed the woman before I could even do it.” James uttered, his eyes turned in Ares' direction.I smiled from what he said, looking at Ares as well.“Thank you for saving my life, Ares. You never hesitated to kill her before she could even do worse things.” I muttered to him, and Ares nodded his head in response.His expression remained the same. Just like James, Ares' expression is difficult to read. However, I am certain that he felt no negative feelings for us.“It's nothing, Luna Emera
~Emerald~After we ate our breakfast, James and I had to prepare for our trip to the human world. We will be using a car because he will bring Ares and some warriors with us for some important matters. I don't know what was James' reason for going there.I know he told me that he wanted to tour me there for me to see what the human world looks like, but I know he has something else to do. Cassandra already knew that we would be gone for hours, and she assured me that Jacob is safe here. I have nothing to worry about and hearing those words from her, I was relieved.My best friend will not allow something to happen to Jacob. I have trust in her and Cassandra will not do something to break our friendship. We are not just best friends, but we are also family now. I treated her like my sister, and she treated me like her sister as well.“Are you ready to leave?”I lifted my head when I heard that voice. It was James, and he's already leaning against the door. He's done changing his clothe
~Emerald~Thinking about James and the thought of not being together in the end felt so painful for me. My life will never be the same if he's not with me and I don't know if I can still fix my heart if that happens.“Please, stop thinking about that thing, James. I will not stop loving you because I can't do that. You know that my heart is yours ever since.” I muttered, begging him to stop thinking negatively.James wiped the tears from his eyes, and then he reached for my hands. He kissed the back of it without breaking his eyes.“I love you so much, Emerald. I may have been an asshole before, but my love for you will never die. You're inside my heart and that will never change whatever happens. I apologize if I said these words to you. I just can't stop myself from thinking about it, but after I heard these words from you, I will think about this more.”I nodded my head from what he said. I understand James, and it's just normal that he might think about it. After all, I am not dis
~Emerald~I don't like the way James talks right now. It feels heavy and meaningful.“James, you're talking like there's something about to happen. Please don't be like that. Let's not overthink.” I asserted, but he just laughed.“Nah, nothing will happen. This is a preparation for whatever happens. I will still continue this company because this is also helpful to us. We can use this for all of us in the pack,” James responded to me.I just let out a deep breath, while looking at him. When I was about to speak, Richard came.“They are on their way, Alpha James. They already have what you asked for, and you know what they need,” Richard informed James.“You know where to get it, Richard. Just bring it to the basement. We will go there now and wait for them.” James explained to Richard.The man nodded his head and smiled at James. At this point, James and I leave the office room to go to the basement he was referring to earlier. Ares and the two warriors were just behind us until we re
~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
