~James~“F*ck!” Tristan couldn't help but scream in pain after I twisted his arm. He fell to the ground, screaming in so much pain because of the painful and traumatic thing I did to him.His friends stepped back after what I did. I just used a small portion of my ability, and it's already a big deal to them.“Who else?” I asked in my deep threatening tone. No one dared to speak up. No one even dared to blink an eye. They are all shocked from what I did, particularly the strength I have shown them. “W-What are you?” The audience went crazy, guessing about what kind of an animal I am. I only used my strength and it already made an impact on them. I couldn't imagine their reactions could be when they saw me shift.“What am I?” I asked in my grinning reaction. I stood straight while facing the crowd who were waiting for my answer.“Where did you get such strength that you can lift a man in one hand?”“Are you a monster?” So many speculations had been circulated around the room and
~James~My men brought me from where they held their prisoner. I could no longer wait to see who they got for me. I couldn't wait to interrogate the person and do all my best until he admits everything he knew about Gideon. “She's tough to handle, Alpha James,” Levi uttered, which made my brows furrowed. I looked at him with my face covered with confusion, and spoke, “She?”Levi let out a sigh. I just couldn't believe that our prisoner was a she.“Yes, she's a she-wolf, but don't get fooled by her gender. She's also strong like male wolves and according to Calvin, she has everything you need because that woman has been part of Gideon's plans,” Levi explained to me.I nodded my head in response to him, and they opened the interrogation room for me to enter it. My head titled when I saw her face. I just can't believe that my men captured Gideon's head warrior named Selene. I know that woman. She's the head warrior who trained Emerald and the rest of Gideon's recruit men. “Natalia,”
~James~Natalia, who heard my words, nodded her head in response. I stared at her for a moment and then she sighed. “There is something you need to know as well, Alpha James,” Natalia said in her sad voice. I looked at her with furrowed brows. There's something in my heart that already knows what Natalia would about to tell me. I could already feel that it has something to do about Emerald.I uttered, “Tell me what it is.”Natalia's pressed lips opened up, and she spoke, “Gideon and Emerald are getting married. I heard it before your men took me here, but I don't know when the ceremony will start.”My fists clenched from what Natalia had told me. I know Gideon has already asked her hand, but I didn't expect that the wedding ceremony would come early. ‘Gideon definitely used the moment when Emerald accepted his proposal. He wouldn't waste some time, and you're getting late, James. You have to do something to stop the marriage, or else Emerald will suffer again!’ Logan muttered at th
~Emerald~I woke up so early the next morning when I heard knocks at my door. Jacob was crying in his crib and Cassandra is not here yet. I left him for a moment to open the door and Gideon's men were what I found outside. They are holding a big box and my eyes are fixed on it. I stared at the box with my furrowed brows. “Miss Emerald, Alpha Gideon would like to give you this. He can't come here because he's busy preparing for your wedding with him tonight.”I moved backwards upon hearing those words from one of Gideon's men. I didn't expect that he had already prepared the wedding without my consent. “O-Our wedding will be tonight?” I asked, stuttering. Gideon's men stared at each other as if they were confused about what I had said. Gideon and I were just engaged last night and I can't believe that we are getting married tonight. Is it not too early for this? ‘You wanted this, right? Don't be surprised. This is already expected, Emerald,’ Lilian responded at the back of my hea
~Emerald~“I don't know, Cass. I don't know if I still wanted to marry Gideon. Lying to myself is the wrong thing I did.”Cassandra was listening to me. Her stare looks like it was telling me how she wants to comfort me right now. I am really grateful to have her as my friend. She's the only person I can trust with. ‘I asked you to listen to me before, but I will not regret it. I understand your feelings, Emerald,’ Lilian muttered at the back of my head. I just bit my bottom lips, trying to stop my tears from falling again. All this time, my wolf is right. She was giving me clues those times, but I didn't mind her. I keep on shutting her. “If you're doubting about marrying Gideon, then don't continue it. Don't punish yourself into this marriage that you don't like at all. You should learn to follow what your heart wants, Emerald,” Cassandra uttered to me. I looked at her and saw her gaze. She was looking at me as if she's trying to convince me about doing what is right and this ma
~James~I waited the whole night for Levi's information about what's going on at Gideon's pack. He's not calling me yet and while waiting for his information, I decided to talk to everyone. I wanted to prepare them just in case something happened to me. The wolves at the Crescent Moon Pack wondered what could be the reason for my sudden meeting with them. They are already gathered at the field and commotion has started. As they saw me coming, they were all in silence. “I know each one of you are wondering what could be the reason I called all of you here,” I began the speech and the entire pack were listening. “I just wanted to inform all of you that you have to be careful, no matter what happens. You all have to prepare in case something will happen. We all know that there are so many enemies who want to see me down, and I'm worried that they will indulge all of you.”As those words escaped from me, the wolves were in chaos. I could see them quarreling and talking about something a
~James~It's as if my world rambled when I heard those words from Natalia. My body started trembling, my heart started shrinking. The tears from my eyes were threatening to fall, but I kept my composure. I should not show any weakness towards Natalia and most of all, this is not the perfect time for crying.“Tell Levi to take a rest, Natalia. He has nothing to worry about. I will handle this situation myself.” My head tilted down as I said those words to her. Natalia furrowed her brows. She wondered what could be in my head, but she didn't say anything. Natalia bowed her head and left me.I watched her leave before letting my tears fall from my eyes. This information I have gotten from Levi was too painful to handle. I can't imagine the woman I desired to be with someone else. She's supposed to be mine. I first owned her. Emerald is mine.‘If you love her, then do something!’ Logan uttered.My hands turned into fists and I nodded my head to agree with Logan. I will definitely stop th
~James~Levi bowed his head as a sign of giving up. I know he would rather not oppose my decision and there's nothing he can do about it.“Seems that I couldn't stop you anymore, Alpha James. I know you just loved that woman, and I am not against it, but you know you can't stop us from worrying. You are not just an Alpha, but you are an Alpha King, and if—”“Gideon and the rest of his allies couldn't bring me down. I swear to all of you that I will do my best to survive, but of course we have to be sure. Just in case I won't return tomorrow until dawn, it means something happened to me. It means that I failed to save my family, and you know what to do, Levi. Declare yourself as the Alpha of the pack with my blessing. Wolves already know the rules.”I got it. Levi worries that Gideon might be able to kill me and with that, he could have my position, but I am not weak.“But—”Levi couldn't continue his words when I cut him off from talking again. “No buts, Levi. Do what I told you. I wi
~Emerald~“You're overreacting, Emerald.”I was stunned when James mentioned these words to me with his cold expression. His words seemed to be piercing my heart. I just can't believe it and knowing that these words are coming from him, I felt disappointed.“You're accusing me of overreacting?” I mimic, my voice is as cold as the snow.James shut his eyes, trying to calm himself down. I can feel the frustration from his face just by how he looked at me.“Look, I'm sorry. I didn't intend to say that to you,” James uttered in a soft voice.I shook my head, stepping my feet backward as I prepared myself to leave.“If you're thinking of me as overreacting, then you just misinterpreted me. This is absolutely useless, James. Let's take a break for a moment. We wouldn't agree to each other thinking that neither of us were on good terms,” I muttered at James.He wanted to say something to me, when I turned my back away before he could even utter. Just the moment I turned my back away, I took
~Emerald~I continued walking my feet without looking back to James. He tried reaching me, but then Levi came, asking him for a word. I was relieved from Levi's sudden interruption, giving me time to think.At this moment, I decided to look for Cassandra and found her outside the mansion. She raised her head, worries evident on her face.“What happened?” Cassandra said, making me let out a deep breath.“I came to her room and it's true. My husband was there, and I caught them hugging. However, James and Althea explained to me that it was just a friendly hug…” I explained it to my best friend.Cassandra put Jacob back to his stroller, and then she looked at me deep into my eyes. I know what she would tell me.“A friendly hug?” She uttered, nodding her head as if something was already in her mind. “Are you sure that was just a friendly hug?”I gasped, hearing these words from Cassandra. I understand her point. She was just protecting me, but then I suddenly realized something.A deep an
~Emerald~“She knows the girl?”Levi nodded his head in response to me. I took out a deep breath, forcing a smile. Levi shouldn't think that I was affected by what I found out. And one more thing, I have nothing to be scared of.“Yes, Luna Emerald. Alpha James and Althea told us about it,” Levi replied. I smiled at Levi, nodding my head in response.“Great, thank you for telling me. I have to see them now because I wanted to check the girl's situation as well.” I turned away after saying this to Levi. He wasn't given the chance to speak as I left immediately before he could even say a word.My heart pounded so fast, thinking about her. I wondered how she and James even met.‘Maybe, they met in the human world. Knowing James before, he had travels that the pack didn't know,’ Lilian interrupted, making me pause in my tracks. I suddenly felt my legs trembling, my fists clenching when realization hit me after Lilian said those words to me.‘What if…’ I paused, struggling to even contin
~Emerald~I was stunned by Cassandra's question to me. My heart even started pounding, disbelief written to my face as I looked at her. Knowing my best friend, I know she's just worried about me, but I have trust in my husband.“I know your worries, Cass, but believe me it won't. James loved his son and he promised he would spend the rest of his life with me. I swear, he won't allow any girl to flirt with him,” I assured her.Cassandra took out a deep breath, a smile curved on her lips.“I'm sorry if I said these words to you. I just don't want something bad to happen to you. I don't want to see you getting hurt again, Emerald,” Cassandra uttered in her worried face.Seeing her reaction like that made me feel grateful in a way that I have such a friend who always thinks about me. The friendship that Cassandra and I had would always be forever.“I know, but don't worry about me. I can handle this one. My husband already knew what would happen to him if he dared to hurt us,” I mumbled,
~Emerald~“Help me! Help!”I grip the handle of the car's door as I hear a woman's scream outside. James immediately rushed out from the car to find her. I did follow him and in the middle of the road, there's a wounded woman coming over to us.My mouth widened when I felt something from her.“A human girl,” I mumbled, my eyes directly focused on her.In the distance, a group of men were coming. They were all smirking as they followed the wounded human girl, making me grit my teeth as I realized who they could be.“Christopher, take the girl in your car!” James commanded his cousin, and he listened immediately.At this point, James moved closer to me as we waited for the group of men coming into our direction.My brows furrowed, focusing my eyes on these human beings who got lost in our area. I don't know if they had an idea that this place was filled with wolves.“Where do you think you're taking her?”A man in the middle suddenly asked us this question. I tilted my head, as I notice
~Emerald~The way he grabbed my waist and took my lips before I could react, gave me so many emotions that I couldn't control. My cheeks turned red, my legs started trembling.I know there were wolves already looking at us, but as James started moving his lips, I already lost the will to decline. I just found myself, wrapping my hands around his neck.The kiss lasted for a minute, and both of us gasped for air as we let go of each other's mouth. James gave me a peck on my lips and when I realized what we did, I couldn't find the courage to face the wolves.However, we were suddenly interrupted when Christopher arrived. Behind him is a woman I wasn't familiar with.“I found her and the other prisoner of this pack. I have already allowed them to escape, while she's coming back with us,” Christopher explained, making me look at the woman.My brows furrowed as I saw familiarity from her. Her face looks familiar to me. It seems like I have already seen it to another person.‘That's Isabell
~Emerald~I swallowed hard, seeing these wolves surrounding me now. My heart pounded so fast, as I held my gun tightly.The wolves slowly stepped their feet near my direction, preparing themselves to attack me.‘Where the hell they come from!?’ Lilian exclaimed at the back of my head.I grit my teeth, eyes started to darken as I looked at them. If they dare to attack me now, I will make sure to kill them undoubtedly. My gun will kill all of them and if I lose my bullets, Lilian will kill them.‘I got your back, Emerald. Just watch your moves. They are numerous and James is not here. He's also busy with the other enemies!’ Lilian reminded me, making me nod my head in response.‘We can do it alone because we are not weak, Lilian. I will make sure to end them on my own, I swear!’ I muttered to her, and Lilian nodded her head in response.At this point, I put all of my focus to the enemies in front of me. They started hissing as if they wanted to eat me alive and the next thing that happe
~Emerald~A sound of a gun suddenly echoed in the area where we were all standing. I smelled the ash of a bullet, coming out from my gun, while the corners of my lips lifted.Yes, I was behind the sound of a gunshot. It came from me. I was the one who shot Beta Steven, but only towards his left arm.“F*ck!” Beta Steven screamed in pain, his left arm covered with blood.The warriors behind him were about to come after me, but James stepped forward, glaring at them.“Don't you dare step your f*cking feet near my wife or else, I will kill you at once!” James warned them.I bit my lower lips as I realized what I just did, but I have no regrets. The poor mate of Alpha Raven is what crosses my head.As James threatened those warriors, they returned to their area. Beta Steven started scolding them as if he really wanted the warriors to attack us. However, it never happened according to what he likes.“Is that all? You will just allow these enemies to step into our land and threaten us to our
~Emerald~“This is their pack, Alpha James.”I tilted my head when I heard Raven's voice as he spoke. James took my hand, making me turn my head to him.“We're finally here, so I want you to stay by my side. We didn't know what's waiting for us there,” James whispered to me.A smile formed on my lips as I noticed the worries from his reaction. James has been like this every time that we're facing a battle and I understand him for that. He's just worried about losing me.“Hey, stop worrying. Your gun would also be a great help for me later on. I will definitely use this, but it will be better if I let my wolf kill the enemies. She missed fighting,” I blurted to James.He couldn't help but shake his head while looking at me, but deep inside I know James trusted me. After all, I don't fear anything now because I know he's there for me. James will never allow something to happen to me and I won't allow something to happen to him as well.“Just be careful. Don't make me meddle in your figh
