~Emerald~Darkness finally arrived, and it's my first day at work. I was already prepared to go to work. I never forget to remind Cassandra to lock the door and don't let James get inside the cabin. She promised me and I felt relieved about it.I went straight to the bar where I will start my job. As I entered the place, there were already few customers. I was greeted by the same woman whom I talked to last morning when I was looking for a job. She brought me to the counter to where the drinks and food were.“Every time you give the customer their order, don't forget to smile. It will make them like you, and when they like you, customers would be pleased to come back because of how the staff treated them.” I smiled at the woman and put in my mind that I came here because of one thing. I am here for work.“I'll remember this.” I answered her, and she just smiled.The customers started increasing. They all started to order their drinks and food which made the staff of the bar become oc
~Emerald~“B*tch!” Alpha Alexander's left hand flew across my face. I almost stumbled down because of its strong impact.“You slapped me?” I blurted, while touching the face that this moron Alpha slapped.“It's because you bit me! You literally bit me!” Alpha Alexander couldn't stop himself from screaming. I felt my teeth gritted in anger, my face already darkened.“You're the son of a devil. I will make you regret it!” I sputtered towards Alpha Alexander.He was about to grab me when I kicked him in the ass. His men stood up and ran through my direction. They began to hold me in both arms, which made me unable to move my body. “You'll pay for what you did to me. I tried to be nice to you, but what you did was to bite me. I will make sure you will not see the sunshine anymore!” He's mad. Alpha Alexander's face was also dark, and I know my life is in danger. I couldn't imagine the trouble I've gotten with my first day. This was supposed to be the first-ever job that I have in this
~James~I turned my head at the back to see if Emerald had finally left the place. I just don't want her to see how I will kill these bastards who dared to put her life at risk. ‘Do you think we can do this?’ Logan asked at the back of my head. A smirk formed on my lips because of that. I have killed many enemies and these numbers wouldn't be a problem to me.‘You are acting as if you haven't killed for so long,’ I sputtered, and it made him laugh.‘I'm just kidding aside. I know we can do this.’I just shook my head, my eyes turned at Alpha Alexander. I know this Alpha. His pack is small, but no one should underestimate him. He has a strong army as well, but it won't do anything for me. I can kill all of them together, and they are scared of me.“What's happening here?” I turned my head at the back when I suddenly heard Gideon's voice. He just came, his face filled with confusion as he looked at me as well as this group in front of us. “Where have you been?” I blurted, eyes alrea
~Emerald~“You should always keep your distance from James. I don't want to see suffering in his hands anymore, Emerald.”These are the words that Gideon reminded me of about Alpha James after he took me to my cabin. He's been very busy from his pack duties, yet he was able to come to defend me from the enemies.‘Don't forget as well that Alpha James was the reason you escaped from their hands.’I just shook my head from what Lilian had uttered. I know what he did for me. I'm not stupid not to remember it.‘Yes, he did, but Gideon killed Alpha Alexander for me. I saw it with my own two eyes when I went back there.’ Lilian let out a heavy sigh. She didn't say anything and chose to keep her mouth shut until I came inside the cabin.Alpha Gideon doesn't want me to work anymore. He told me I should work with him and there's no need for me to look for a job from outside. Alpha Gideon will prepare my job. I swear I tried my best to decline it, but he's an Alpha. He owns this pack. He corn
~Emerald~I wiped the sweat on my forehead after I treated James' wound. He was already asleep on the bed and his trembling body had already stopped.I lay down on the couch, pinned my back against it. My eyes laid at James, and then I took out a deep breath. I checked my son Jacob, and he was still asleep until now. It's almost in the middle of the night and my body is tired.I could no longer keep myself still awake, so I decided to sleep and just hoped that James would be fine tomorrow. He needed to leave my cabin because I didn't want anyone to see him here. I don't want him and Gideon to fight again.‘Everything would be alright, Emerald. You can take your rest, and don't worry because I'll make sure everything will be fine tonight.’ I smiled from what Lilian had told me. After she said those words, I decided to close my eyes and let the darkness cover my eyes. The next morning, I woke up late already. The first thing I did was to check Jacob on his crib, and my world stumbled
~Emerald~It sounded surreal as I thought about the decision I made. I know this could be a betrayal to my promise before, but I have to consider my son's happiness. He needs his father's warmth, and I can't take that moment from him. I will just allow James to hold my son, but my plans with him will still be fulfilled. Nothing will change, and it doesn't matter if he's my son's father. “Don't you dare do something that will make me angry, James. You are not going to bring him out of my cabin. See my son in here, but you can't take him out,” I uttered, while looking at James. “Do you understand?” James nodded his head, still holding my son in his arms. He remained staring at me as if he were thinking about something. I just felt my heart pounded by the looks that James is giving me now.“Did Gideon carry my son?” I was stunned in my direction because of his sudden question at me. My lips pursed, and it took me a minute before I responded to him.“You don't care about that. Just mi
~Emerald~Emerald left the house without letting James know about it. She just told Cassandra she has to leave and remind her about James.As she walks the way through Gideon's office, her mind doesn't leave the house. She can't stop thinking about James and his son. “I thought you hated him?” Lilian spoke all of a sudden.I stopped walking, my fists clenched about what she just asked.“Of course I'm mad at him.”Lilian couldn't stop herself from laughing. I just shook my head and kept on walking. If I listened to what my wolf was telling me, this would bring me into chaos.I won't allow anyone to dictate about what I will do, especially about what I feel. This is my life. I have the right to do what I want to do without thinking about anybody and no one can stop me from doing that.“I didn't stop you, Emerald. You mentioned that you can control what you feel, so if you fall for James again, that's not my fault.”I was stunned upon hearing these words from my Lilian. My heartbeat rac
~Emerald~Gideon rose from his seat just to walk in front of me. I followed him with my confused look, while my heart kept pounding so fast. “I know you are going to decline this offer, but this for the best, Emerald. This work is for you, and I made this only for you,” Gideon uttered in his deep voice.My brows were furrowed while listening to him. I have this feeling that Gideon will offer me a higher chance of being on his side. ‘That's what I felt too, Emerald!’ Lilian spoke at the back of my head. I let out a sigh, and stared at him deep into his eyes. Even if I will decline this, Gideon will still pursue this. He will do his best just for me to accept it, and I don't want to disappoint him. “Just tell me, Gideon…” I uttered, and then he took a deep breath. Gideon's eyes were fixed on me as he spoke, “I want to appoint you as my gamma, Emerald.”I was stunned, almost gasping from what I've heard towards Gideon. As I stared into his eyes, all I found was sincerity. He meant w
~Emerald~I was supposed to shine tonight. This is my chance to prove that I can do what men can do, but it never happened.James has finally returned. He used his ability again to kill the hybrids without struggling, while I remained standing. All I did was watch him as he finished our enemies, those who kidnapped us, until Ellie was the only one who was left with us.James is just too powerful for the hybrids to kill them. They never think about the consequences of their actions.“Emerald…”The first thing that James did is to rush in my direction. He pulled my body, giving me a tight hug. I just bit my lower lips, as I tried to control the annoyance I felt towards James.“You made me worried. I thought something bad happened to you, but I'm glad that Alpha Maximo and Joyce cooperated with us to find Ellie. Thankfully, we came on time before something worse could happen to you.” James muttered, his reaction filled with worries.I can't help but pout on my lips upon hearing it. James
~Emerald~I was stunned when Emily cried in front of me. My heart shattered hearing her sobs as I can feel that she's carrying so much struggle in life and knowing that we've been kidnapped by Ellie. That woman is a total bitch. I will make her regret messing with me.“Emily, what happened?” I asked, my tone filled with worries.Emily bit her lower lips as she raised her head to look at me. Her eyes filled with her tears and fear is also evident from it. I know she's afraid of our situation right now, but I have to remind her that she has nothing to be scared of.I will find a way to escape here. Ellie will not succeed in her plans. She will really regret it later.“I-I heard what Ellie had told you earlier. We didn't know that she was a hybrid. We never knew that the pack we allowed to enter our territory was actually the reason behind my parents' death. Hybrids killed our parents, Luna Emerald!” Ellie explained to me.I was stunned upon learning it. I have never expected that the hy
~Emerald~“Luna is finally awake!”The moment I opened my eyes, these words were the first thing I heard. My head is still painful, making me grimaced in pain. I made sure that the pain in my head would lessen before I opened my eyes again.At first, my eyes were still blurry, but after a second, it started to clear. I started to panic when I suddenly realized the people in front of me.I even moved, but I can't move my hands because they were tied with a metallic leash. Beside me, I saw Emily, who was still unconscious.“F*ck! Where are we!?” I screamed in front of the wolves.They suddenly laughed as if they found my statement funny.“You don't feel this place, Luna Emerald?”One of them asked, making me raise my brows.“How would I know if you used a chemical on me to take my consciousness?” I blurted, and then laughed again.These wolves in front of me don't look familiar. I am certain that this is the first time I have seen them and the place they take us, I have no idea where th
~Emerald~“Stay away from her! She's a threat to you!”My mouth widened from what I saw. This is the old woman who just said so many things to me last night. The woman who mentioned the prophecy. I really don't know what she wanted to point out.“What the hell are you talking about?” James exclaimed, blocking the woman from hitting me with her stick.I can't believe she's being too aggressive now compared to last night. She wanted to hit me and fortunately, James is with me. He protected me from the old woman.“Alpha King, I want you to be careful with her. She brought misfortune with you. That woman will be your greatest destruction and if you don't leave her, the worst things are coming into your life!” She uttered, making me stunned.I just felt my body start to tremble as her words started to sink in to me. All the bad words that she mentioned were for me. The aggressive old woman was referring to me, and this is annoying. I don't know how on earth she made a story about me.She w
~Emerald~Ellie ran in front of Alpha James. She suddenly wrapped her hands around her neck and was about to kiss my husband when James stopped her.I suddenly felt my blood boil from what I witnessed towards Ellie. She changed abruptly. I saw how mad she was at James, but when she heard her father called my husband the Alpha King, everything changed from her.“Do you want me to deal with her, Luna Emerald? She's being flirtatious!” Emily reacted beside me.I looked at her, and shook my head in response.“No, need. I trusted my husband. He will deal with her and let's just watch how he will embarrass Ellie.” I muttered to her, even though my inner self was telling me to attack Ellie.“I-I didn't realize it earlier, Alpha King. I'm sorry if it takes time for me to recognize that you're the real Alpha King. Please, forgive us. We haven't recognized you because we never had the chance to see your face,” Ellie explained to James.At this point, I just crossed my arms, my eyes were on her.
~Emerald~“You cheated!”I suddenly turned my head at Joyce when she shouted those words. My mouth widened at her in disbelief.“Watch your words, Joyce! You are talking to the Alpha King!” Casper reminded her, but she shook her head.She was gritting her teeth as she looked at us, anger filled her eyes. Ellie, on the other hand, was looking at me dangerously.That kind of look, I know there's something playing in her mind and I need to prepare that. I can already sense that they will do something very unlikely. I know these wolves won't accept defeat and my instincts earlier are right.“We can't accept this, Casper! That man cheated my father. He's not the Alpha King. He can't be the Alpha King!” Joyce continued shouting.James didn't say anything to her. He just remained standing while looking at her, but I can already feel what's in his heart. James wanted to kill her, but we can't do that. There's no way you can hurt someone without valid reason.“I keep saying it since earlier th
~Emerald~My eyes were still on Casper's visitors. I don't want to move my attention away because I want to see what could be their reactions when they found out that James is really the Alpha King. They don't believe Casper's words.I know this is difficult to believe because they haven't met the Alpha King yet, and I understand that, but I won't tolerate what Ellie had uttered from earlier.“Don't worry, Casper. We know what we are doing, and we're popular for doing deals, don't we?” Alpha Maximo responded to Casper.James let out a soft chuckle and I know because he can't believe in them. He never expected to find out that nobody did recognize him, and now I was thinking about how Casper's visitors will find out about us.“How will you confirm it?”They turned their attention to James when he finally decided to intervene. I just took a glance at James because I focused my eyes back at Ellie.I was guessing about what they will do to confirm that the wolf in front of them is actuall
~Emerald~I can feel piercing eyes on me, but I didn't mind them. My attention was with Ellie to know her reaction.After I asked that question to Ellie, she started smirking. It even took her a minute before she responded.“Well, I just have one plan towards the Alpha King. I will just offer myself to him and I know he will not say no to it. I have a nice body and all the male wolves in our pack have been dreaming to touch it,” Ellie muttered in confidence.When I heard what she said, I could feel my teeth gritted, while my hands clenched in annoyance. She looked overconfident when she uttered those words at me.This woman has no idea that she was talking to the wife of the Alpha King.“Did you know that the Alpha King has a wife?” I mumbled, and because of what I had said, James pinched my arm.I just glared at him and he sighed. He's trying to stop me from fighting Ellie, but I won't back out. I will just teach this woman a lesson to be cautious on everything she wants to say.“Oh
~Emerald~James doesn't have a choice but to agree to Casper after I confirm. He agreed to stroll the pack that his father stayed with before we went back to our pack.After talking to Alpha Casper, James and I returned to our room. We lay on the bed and James told me to sleep. He never leaves my side until I fall asleep. James' presence really helped me to relax. I have forgotten everything that happened that day.The next morning, James woke me up. We took our shower together and left the room to start the day within Casper's pack.James was holding my hand as we walked the way out of Casper's mansion. The moment I stepped my feet outside the door, I found myself amazed from what I saw.“This pack looks wonderful as well, James,” I mumbled to him.“Tsk. Our pack still looks better and more powerful.” He responded.I just shook my head and didn't mind what he said. We just continued walking until we found Emily and Alpha Casper coming into our direction. Emily is smiling already, whi
