~Emerald~It was a new day in the pack and everything went back to normal. The wolves of the pack are now busy with their everyday work, while I am busy taking good care of Jacob.James is not around. He's with the warriors as they have to stroll the pack, making sure that nobody's spying on us. It's a great day for me, despite what happened last night. I tried to surround myself with positivity, as I don't want to attract negative attention because I'm with my son.We were currently outside the mansion because I planned to stroll Jacob around. My friends were there as well, and we were laughing while talking about random things when someone suddenly interrupted us.“Luna Emerald, we need your help!”I turned my head to someone who screamed. My heart skipped for a moment as I looked at her.“What's wrong?” I asked in my worried tone.The woman looked at me, her eyes filled with horror. I couldn't help but furrow my brows because of her reaction.“Someone's fighting and we couldn't sto
~Emerald~I punched both of them in their stomach to stop them from fighting. The siblings flew away, a meter from my direction. I could feel my eyes change into different colors, threatening to transform to my wolf's form.“I told you both to stop fighting. You both are hard-headed!” I yelled, but nobody answered me.I turned my heads at the siblings, and they grimaced in pain, while lying on the ground. Nobody was moving, but they were still breathing.I shut my eyes, calming myself when my blood started to boil. I have to control myself, or else worse things might happen here.“Are you okay, Luna Emerald?”A wolf approached me. I nodded my head and stood straight.“Bring them to the pack doctor. They already learned their lesson.” I muttered towards the wolf.She was stunned by what I had said, but had no choice at all. At this moment, I turned away, not tempted to look at the siblings anymore.I know for a moment that they will find me to ask forgiveness for what they caused me. T
~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
~Emerald~Being desperate wasn't in my vocabulary but thinking about losing the man I love and losing the father of my child, I am willing to be one. I can sacrifice everything if it means bringing my family back. I won't let anyone ruin the family I cared about. I will not hesitate to do everything I could just to stop those who dared to ruin the family I built.Today, I woke up so early despite the pain I went through last night. Alpha James didn't throw me away from his Mansion but we're no longer living in the same room. Katie was with him all night and thinking about them made me hurt so badly.“What's your plan now?”I was walking the hall when my wolf, Lilian, spoke up. I let out a deep sigh and wiped the tears from my eyes as it started streaming down again.“I don't know, Lilian…” I uttered, almost breaking again. “I don't know what else to do, but let's see.”I heard my wolf let out a sigh at the back of my head. She didn't say anything because she already knew me. Lilian do
~Emerald~Alpha James grasped my arm and he began dragging me out of the house. I wasn't able to speak up again because of what he did. He pushed me outside, making me fall to the ground.“And you really think you can fool me again?”I cried. I can't believe James to be this heartless. He didn't believe me. He thought I was lying but I will not do that to him.“I am not lying to you, James. I am carrying your child and you have to believe me, please…” I begged again, but James was anxious.He pointed his finger at me, his face covered with anger now. I can see it based on how he looked at me. “I don't love you, Emerald. I don't want you in my life. You better leave the pack or else I will imprison you in the dungeon for disobeying the rule of the Alpha King. You should be thankful that I still consider you as my wife. I still consider our memories together that's why I let you stay after I rejected you but what you did to my mate made me think that you should be thrown out here.” Ja
~Emerald~It was Alpha Gideon. He was Alpha James' step-brother. The Alpha who was also feared by many, but has no effect on Alpha James. I was still in shock, knowing that he arrived at exactly where I was about to die. He rescued me before these evils succeeded in killing me.“Why did my brother want to kill you?” His deep baritone voice sent shivers through my body. I gulped, and couldn't form even a single word. Despite that, I still try my best to speak. “A-Alpha James wanted to kill me because he finally found his mate. He…He threw me out of the pack,” I uttered in between tears. The things that happened to me from earlier were still fresh in my head. I don't know how to move on to this. I don't know how to forget all of these. Everything James did to me, it's stabbing my heart a million times.Alpha Gideon who just heard my words tilted his head. He crossed his arms, still looking at me.“Why would my step-brother do that to you?” He asked in his cold voice. I bit my bottom

~Emerald~It was a new day in the pack and everything went back to normal. The wolves of the pack are now busy with their everyday work, while I am busy taking good care of Jacob.James is not around.

~Emerald~The moment Ares noticed our presence, he moved away, letting us see the dead body. I was holding my breath, while stepping my feet near it. James is next to me, and he's also looking at the body with his serious expression.“I think that body is familiar to me…” I mumbled, when I started to recognize the body on the ground.The moment I reached it, my heart suddenly stopped pounding.“It was Allison!” I gasped, seeing Allison's cold and dead body on the ground.My hands covered my mouth, looking at her. I could even feel my body start to tremble with this information. I have never imagined that I will see Allison again, but in her cold body.“F*ck.”James couldn't say anything, but a cursed word. He doesn't even expect to see Allison's cold body.At this moment, I just felt my body froze. I don't know exactly what I should feel. I felt sad for her, but when I remember all the betrayal she did to me, that certain sadness just disappeared.Her betrayal to me is still painful.
~Emerald~“Don't get us wrong, Alpha James. Luna Emerald and I were just talking. She just reminds me that I should be loyal to the pack.”Ares decided to speak up now. I know he could feel distasteful in James' expression.“I know, and I've heard my wife's last words, Ares. I need to pick my wife now. We need to eat our breakfast,” James responded.A deep breath escaped from my throat as a sign of relief after I heard James' response. I thought he's going to get mad because I talked to men. Ares and I were just talking and there's nothing else aside from that.“I need to go, Luna Emerald.” Ares replied, and he walked away from us.At this time, James turned his head at me. His expression looks dark, which made me a bit nervous.“You're not supposed to talk to Ares, Emerald. I already told you that you should stop talking to men.” He uttered, which made me stunned.Disbelief was written on my face, while looking at him.“Ares and I were just talking, James. You should not be worried a
~Emerald~After that kiss, we returned to the ball as if nothing happened earlier. It's glad that the wolves who attended the ball didn't notice something happening in the surrounding area. James made sure that Beatrice is the only enemy who entered the pack.The ball continued and at exactly midnight, everyone went home to their houses. James and I also went inside our room to rest. I tried to close my eyes and forget what happened earlier, but the words that Beatrice had said before she died keep ringing to my mind.James was already asleep beside me and because I have so many things to do tomorrow, I forced myself to sleep until I never noticed that I already fell asleep.When I woke up the next day, as usual, James was not there. He woke up early again to start his day with an exercise. I decided to finish everything I needed to do and then went out of the room. The moment I reached downstairs, I suddenly saw Ares.He looked at me with his usual aura. I suddenly froze in my direct
~Emerald~The moment James started to speak up, Beatrice's expression changed. I couldn't find the arrogance from her face, and now it was replaced by worries. She tried to hide the worries from her expression, but I'm just good at noticing it.“Whatever you do, you can't get information from me. I will never say anything, Alpha.” Beatrice muttered.James just looked at her in his blank expression. He didn't mind what Beatrice had said, but instead, he took out a gun that he kept under his shirt.I stood up straight upon seeing that and silently observed what James would do to her.“You know, I realized that it's better if we should make your death more unique. I will not use my claws to kill you, but this gun. Definitely, you will enjoy this gun. What do you think?”Beatrice swallowed hard upon hearing what James had uttered to her. Her lips became pale, her eyes filled with tears in fear. I was stunned when I saw that reaction from her. I thought she's bold.She's even laughing from
~Emerald~I was speechless from what James had told me. I thought he's going to scold me because I never informed her about Beatrice, but I was wrong. He didn't get mad, but instead, he gave me a hug.I was shocked, because I couldn't find the words to say. The embrace he's giving me now is already enough for me to understand the message. I wrapped my shaking hands on his back and closed my eyes while I enjoyed the moment that I was in his arms.“Ares and his team will go back here with Beatrice's head. I have trust in the skill of Ares. I will not put him as head of the warriors if he's nothing to prove to me.” James uttered.I nodded my head and bit the bottom of my lips to prevent myself from crying. This isn't the perfect moment to cry.“I just hope that they can have Beatrice now. I can't wait to punish that woman. She needed to pay for what she did to me.” I gritted my teeth when I said these words.James tightened his hug as if he had no plans of letting me go.“We will never s
~Emerald~I don't know what answer I should give to Cassandra. I am not prepared for that kind of question, but I need to answer it. She's waiting for a response from me.“Don't get me wrong, Em. I'm just concerned for the both of you. I know that there were times before that both of you were tested, but you both fixed it. However, we can't deny that there are still enemies out there, waiting for the downfall of both of you. I know that the best weapon they could use to make sure you and James will hate each other is through your relationship…”I understand what Cassandra meant, and it's true. We have been tested by our trust since the beginning, but James and I were able to fix it. We did fix our problems and never let the enemies succeed with their plans.I think we will still do the same thing. If someone dared to destroy our marriage and trust with each other, we will try fixing it again.“If there's one thing I am so sure of, Cass…” I paused to take a deep breath. “It's about not
~Emerald~Just before James could react, I took a glass of champagne that the staff served. James shook his head when he saw what I did.I never hesitated to drink the glass of champagne to stop James from getting disappointed. I admit that I made a mistake earlier about thinking of knowing Ares' background.That man just captured my curiosity and I realized that I shouldn't be minding him. I should stop this curiosity out of my head and just hold on to the fact that Ares is Levi's brother. He is trustworthy and Levi wouldn't agree if he knows his brother is not trustworthy at all.“You're not drinking, Emerald.”James took the glass from me, which made me pouted.“Why not? I'm thirsty, James…” I complained, but he just shook his head.“I don't want you to drink because that's not good for your health. You will carry our second child, remember?”I suddenly blushed from what James had uttered to me. I never expected him to say this, so I looked away.But, the moment I turned my eyes to
