~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~“If you are pleased to have Emerald as the newly appointed gamma, you are free to quit your job. I don't need a beta like you!” Damian's hard reaction from earlier suddenly softened after Gideon burst into anger. He let out a heavy sigh, and bowed his head down. “I apologize for overreacting, Alpha Gideon. I will do what you said to me, and I'm sorry again. To you, Emerald…” Damian uttered. “I apologize as well for judging you.”I nodded my head towards Damian. He's just worried about the pack's situation and I understand his reaction. I won't plant a grudge with him just because of that. ‘He's just faking it. He's not sincere with his apologies!’ Lilian interrupted.I shook my head again, and did not mind what Lilian had told me.Damian left the room as fast as he could, so I turned my head at Gideon. He was calming himself by closing his eyes, and when he's fine, he looked at me. “Maybe, Damian is right, Gideon,” I uttered, trying my best not to make him mad.Gideon ju

    ~Emerald~I couldn't help but look at him straight in the eye. James just asked me if I love Gideon and I don't understand why he has to ask this one. I don't know what it will do to him.“You should not be asking about this one, James. I am not obligated to answer everything you will ask from me. You didn't even realize this one when I was still with you.” I responded to him with my chin tilted. It's just my way to tell him that I am not afraid of him.His question with me will not startle me. Perhaps, he should be the one to be afraid now. I can lie to him anytime I want just to hurt his feelings. James will definitely regret in his entire life if ever I found someone better, if his regrets were real.“I just wanted to know, Emerald. I wanted to make sure that you didn't fall in his trap yet. You will think of me as a dumbass Alpha, and I'm okay with it but I will make sure no one will hurt you. As long as I am still breathing in this world, no one will hurt you anymore,” James utte

    ~Emerald~I never waited for James to respond to me when I decided to go inside the room. I made sure that it's locked to prevent him from coming in.My heart started pounding again, the moment I entered the room. I touch my heart and rest my body against the door.I can't help but to feel guilty about what I've said to James. There was a part of me which regretted that I said those words, and I don't know why. I don't know why this happened to me. “Are you okay, Emerald?” Lilian asked, her tone looking worried about me. I let out a deep sigh, and then nodded my head in response. My head turned at Jacob who was still asleep. A smile formed on my lips as I walked near his crib. This is the best thing that has happened to my life. I didn't regret that I have a child with James because Jacob is the symbol of my love towards his father before.He was the living proof that I once loved his father. I never felt any regrets of giving myself to James because I have my handsome son. I promis

    ~Emerald~“Hello!?” I have been searching for the way out of this forest, but it seems like I was already lost. It was already almost an hour of being stuck in this nowhere. No one is living here, and it's just naturally surrounded by trees. “Can you just please rest?” Lilian muttered, trying to calm me down. I messed up my hair, and annoyingly sat on the ground. “How could I rest if we were lost? We couldn't even find the way back to the pack!” I uttered, almost screaming. Lilian took a deep breath, and then she replied, “I know your distress, but if you keep on doing that, it will be difficult for us to find the way!” I shook my head and washed my face using my hands. Staying in this forest is a wrong decision. This place was the home of many wild animals, and we're just lucky because we didn't meet any wild animals yet. I won't know later.“Maybe your instincts could help us,” I responded, but Lilian just let out a sigh. I shook my head and couldn't stop from letting out a de

    ~Emerald~“I'm sorry, Babe,” Alpha James apologized while his hands were still cupping my face. “I'm sorry if I can't help it.”My hands clenched into fists when I began to fight what I am feeling now. James just literally kissed me. I was stunned by that. No words would come out from my mouth as my mind was still preoccupied with how he crushed his lips with mine. I even felt a sudden disappointment when he stopped kissing me for no reason. This is such an insane imagination. I should not let this feeling overpower my anger towards James. He hurt me badly.I hated him, but at the same time, I wanted him. I want to feel his body against me, and I think this is unstoppable. After a year of hatred with James, he still has a part of me that I couldn't deny. I know I keep telling myself that I should not be feeling this with him, but my heart betrayed me.“Emerald,” James called me, so I lifted my head. “I want you now…”Just before I could even react to it, he took my lips again, not al

    ~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.

    ~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
