~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~The large numbers of Gideon's warriors suddenly appeared from everywhere. As I looked at the faces of James' wolves, all I could see was fear. They have no Alpha to stand up for them. They have no beta to defend them and most of all, their gamma was no longer on their side. I could say that they couldn't do anything against Gideon's number of warriors. Knowing Gideon, he has been practicing all his warriors since then, and I have never realized that he would use them one day against the man I loved.However, I won't let this happen. There would be no bloody battle. “Gideon, stop!” I exclaimed, and he turned his head at me while his brows furrowed. I was about to attack him, but Natalia arrived, holding me. She stopped me from my attempts to attack Gideon. I resisted, but she injected me to weaken my movement. The second passed by, I just felt my body trembling. I fell to the ground, but I did my best to move.“Emerald, Emerald…” Natalia uttered. She kneels in front to le
~Emerald~Gideon succeeded on his plans of capturing all the wolves from the Crescent Moon Pack. Together with his warriors, they were able to bring all the powerless, innocent, and fragile wolves in the middle of the field. I was at Gideon's back, doing my best to be heartless. Yes, I'm trying to be heartless for my plans to work on. “Ah, this is so satisfying…” Gideon uttered while smirking. I could feel my fists clenched beneath as I looked at the faces of those wolves. The way they looked at me, it's as if they are begging me to do something. Their arrogance from earlier faded away after Gideon and his warriors captured all of them.“What do you want from us? You already succeeded in killing our Alpha, so you don't have to capture us!” One of the wolves couldn't stop himself from asking Gideon. I looked at Gideon to know what could be his reaction, but the way he smirked at the wolf, I know he's planning something.“Well…” Gideon starts walking his feet to those wolves in fron
~Emerald~Three months later, I have finally unraveled the true colors of Alpha Gideon. Those past months had been so tough for all of us, especially for me. Alpha Gideon and his way of leading all the werewolf world caused so much trouble for everyone. I can't believe he ruined the name that James has been taking good care of since he got the position and in just a blink of an eye, Gideon ruined it. That asshole was a pain in the ass.“Emerald?”I just came out of my cabin when I found Calvin coming my way. My brows were furrowed while looking at him. “What do you want?” I asked in my cold tone. Calvin let out a deep sigh. He put his hands in the pockets of his pants before he responded to me. Before that, he stared at me straight in the eyes, which made my brows furrowed. “I have something to tell you—”I rolled my eyes when Calvin dared to speak again. I already know what he wanted to tell me. “I am not interested. Just go back to Gideon because I have other things to do,” I w
~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
