~Emerald~My heart was shattered into pieces when I found out what Gideon did to him. He killed the man I love. He killed the man whom I was about to see. Gideon killed James and I have never expected him to do this. “W-Why, Gideon?” I stuttered, and continued, “Why did you do this to him?” Gideon kneeled to level his face with mine. He continued smirking and as I saw his reaction right now, I saw a different person. It's as if I see another Gideon. This is not how he looks before killing James. He looks kind-hearted…‘I told you, Emerald. Gideon is not a kind Alpha. He was hiding something, and I wasn't wrong all this time,’ Lilian muttered, which made me bite my bottom lips. I regretted that I didn't listen to her. My wolf was giving me hints, but I closed my heart. I didn't listen to her and follow what my mind was telling me to do. Just because of that, I totally lost the man whom I realize that I loved now. I totally lost James and I don't know what to do. I wanted to attack
~Emerald~ After getting up from the ground, I turned my body away from him and was about to step my legs when Gideon grabbed my hand. He pulled me back to him and was about to embrace me when I lifted my hand. I slapped him across his face and he froze in his direction. “How dare you kill James, Gideon? How f*cking dare you to touch him!” I raged, tears still streaming from my face. Gideon gritted his teeth. He pointed a finger in my direction with his face covered by anger. I never showed him any hint of fear. Gideon has to know that I am also angry from what he did to James. “Why the f*ck you're defending him now, Emerald? I thought you also wanted him dead?” Gideon asked, his face covered with confusion. I grinned, my fists still clenched while looking at him. “I was defending him because I still loved him. All this time I realized that I still needed him by my side. I didn't feel anything from you, Gideon, and I was right with my decision. I did the right thing that I didn'
~Emerald~My heart was already broken, but it worsened when I found out about James' death. I don't know how to accept this bad news. It's killing me slowly, but when I looked at my son's face, he reminded me of his father. He reminded me that I should not give up because I still got him and everything I am doing now is for him. My wedding with Alpha Gideon will resume tonight at exactly in the middle of the night. I was back at my cabin with Cassandra and Jacob. Gideon's men are everywhere. He found out about my attempt to escape. That's why he made sure his men were guarding the possible exit door of my house. I don't have a choice. He threatened Jacob's life. I don't want my son to suffer in my selfish acts. Even if I don't like it, I have to marry that son of the devil. “Are you sure you want to do this, Em?” I looked up when I heard Cassandra. She was helping me to wear the wedding dress that Gideon prepared for me. I couldn't help but look at myself in the mirror. The weddin
~Emerald~“Calvin? What are you doing here?” I was surprised to see Calvin in front of the door. This man is James' gamma and I knew him when I was still in the Crescent Moon Pack. I suddenly felt hope upon seeing him and maybe James sent him here to pick me before he died.“Emerald,” Calvin uttered in his blank expression. “I am here to pick you up.”I couldn't stop myself from smiling because of what he said. Calvin is James' trusted warrior, and I have known this man ever since. “Did James tell you to pick me up? Is he alive, Calvin?” I asked, my heart filled with excitement. However, Calvin just stared at me blankly. Seeing that reaction from his face made me nervous. It's as if something is not right and my heart could feel it now. “James didn't ask me to pick you up, but Gideon. Your wedding with him will be in a moment, Emerald. We should—”Calvin didn't finish his words when I cut him from talking.“You are working with Gideon?” I blurted, and Calvin let out a sigh. I jus
~Emerald~Everyone shut their mouths after Gideon interrupted the conversation. I let out a heavy sigh and stared at Gideon who was smirking while looking at me.I couldn't stop myself from gritting my teeth as I spoke, “Do I have to thank you for saving me from your stupid head warrior?” Gideon chuckled. He took my hand and I tried to remove it, but he's not letting it go. “You don't have to do that, My Luna. We are getting married and you will become my wife. It's my responsibility to protect you at all cost,” Gideon responded, and I almost vomited when I heard those words from him. “I don't need your protection at all, Gideon. I can defend myself, and I won't need anything from you. Let's just focus ourselves on this f*cking wedding because I want to finish this!” I uttered, and he just smirked. Gideon moved his face close to my face and I paused from breathing. I don't want to smell him. I don't want to smell the killer. “Don't worry because I only marry you for one thing. I
~Emerald~I was thankful that after my wedding with Alpha Gideon, he allowed me to go back to my cabin. He has made up his mind and he doesn't want to sleep with me, which is a favor for me. I don't want to sleep with a monster, but there's a problem. Gideon asked Calvin and Natalia to watch me. There are so many warriors assigned to watch the cabin just to make sure I won't escape. Gideon is really insane. “How are you?” I lifted my head when I heard Cassandra. I just came out of the room, and it's already ten in the morning. She was carrying Jacob and I couldn't help but let out a deep breath. “I don't know and until now, I still can't believe that James left us,” I uttered, and tears were about to fall when we heard knocks at the door.Cassandra and I stared at each other. I let out a deep sigh and walked towards the door. Calvin is the one knocking at the door. I just rolled my eyes when I met him. “Gideon wanted to talk to you in his office,” Calvin said, which made me smile
~Emerald~“W-What do you mean?” I stuttered as I asked Cassandra about it. She let out a deep sigh before speaking up. My heart didn't stop from pounding while waiting for her response.“It's just my opinion. I really don't believe that an Alpha King will die just like that. He's the most powerful of the living wolves here. My instincts, as well as my wolf, were telling me that he's alive,” Cassandra uttered, which made me sigh. “I was even hoping that James is still alive, Cass, but…” I bit my bottom lips before I continued speaking. “Gideon showed me the ring of James, and it's a sign that something really happened to him.”Tears kept streaming down my face and I did all my best to stop it, but it was no use. I was still aching in pain thinking about James' sudden death. If I just knew that this day would come, I would have accepted him. ‘Stop! Don't blame yourself for what happened. It is not your fault. No one from us knew this would come. Just put in mind that your son still n
~Emerald~Gideon never answered me and I did not push him. I just prayed silently that I was only mistaken about my instincts. I don't want something to happen to the pack that James' built for how many years. Many innocent wolves are living there, and I don't know what will happen to them if we arrive there.‘Gideon is a monster. I couldn't believe he's hiding his true self from you for a year!’ Lilian sputtered. I let out a deep sigh in a silent manner after hearing what she said. No one really expected that Gideon was actually a devil Alpha. I know I called James a devil Alpha before, but the truth is, Gideon was actually the devil Alpha. He killed his step-brother. He took the life of my child's father. I don't know what else Gideon can do. ‘Not all devil Alpha can survive forever. His end will come, and we will wait for that moment. I will prepare his graveyard, Lilian, I swear!’ I grunted upon saying those words to Lilian. My wolf just nodded her head to agree with me. At th
~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
