~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~My eyes suddenly widened from what I saw. I could even feel my heart pounded so fast while staring at the syringe that Calvin was holding. I was nervous when I saw how Levi fell asleep after Calvin injected him.“What did you do to Levi, Gideon!?” I asked in my gritted teeth. Gideon turned his head at me, and then he began smirking. He crossed his arms and said, “Don't worry, I only used a sleeping pill for him. I have no plans of killing him because he has a great use to me for all my plans. I just wanted to take his consciousness because he kept on resisting. This will only slow my plans from working.”After I heard these words from him, I couldn't help but grit my teeth in anger. I never expected that they had this weapon that could make a wolf lose its consciousness. I wondered what they used to kill James. As I thought about them killing James, my heart was screaming in madness. I wanted to slay them now.“I couldn't imagine you would turn into a monster I have never
~Emerald~I have never expected that Gideon will command his men to attack those groups of wolves in front of us. My attention turned to Gideon, and then I noticed his serious reaction which means he really intended what he said to his warriors. Gideon's warriors began the attack and I saw how the wolves in this pack fought back for their lives. They fight back against the warriors of Gideon. I just felt my heart pounding, so I immediately walked in Gideon's direction to talk to him. “Stop this, Gideon!” I yelled, but he just glanced at me. “Are you blind?” Gideon uttered. “Those wolves wanted war. They intentionally wait for me here, so it means they really want to try me.”I shook my head, teeth gritted in annoyance towards Gideon. I can't believe he started his plans.“Why don't you just admit that you have other plans for this pack, Gideon? I know you only wanted revenge because this pack refused you before, and it's James' pack!” I mumbled, which made him grin. “You got it,
~Emerald~I can feel my heart skip from beating after I heard what Gideon just said towards the wolves. My eyes turned to Gideon with my mouth widely open out of shock. “W-What the hell are you talking about, Gideon?” I asked in disbelief. Gideon just smirked, and he didn't respond to me. He turned his head back to the wolves, so I also did the same thing to see their reactions. I almost stumbled, seeing how the wolves gazed at me.“How true, Luna Emerald? Are you connected to the death of our Alpha?” Vivian asked me. I immediately shook my head to deny it. “Of course not! I have nothing to do about the death of Alpha James. I was even shocked when I found out about his death. Gideon's accusations at me were not real!” I exclaimed, my heart pounded so fast.Vivian and her colleagues just looked at me. I have no idea about their thoughts, and I worry that they might listen to Gideon's lies. “I know Alpha James did something terrible to you in the past, but we all know how much he r
~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. I just fe
~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
