Emma

A much-needed distraction came when an omega called us both for dinner. Jessica quickly put her innocent face back on before heading downstairs.

“Coming!” she said enthusiastically.

After hearing that from Jessica, my mood worsened. I had expected it from her, but it still annoyed me that I could do nothing.

After a while, everyone soon gathered at the dining table. I avoided their gazes throughout the meal and hoped to finish my food quickly. The food tasted like nothing with them around. The two talked as usual until Jessica suddenly frowned. A few more seconds and she was crying. She pulled out a pitiful tone and asked,

“Alpha, am I causing trouble between you and Emma?”

Andrew chuckled. “Of course not, you silly girl. Emma is your sister, remember? So, make yourself at home.”

After hearing this, Jessica wore another wide smile. Then she glanced at me. I quickly turned my eyes away from her. I had no idea how long she would stay here, but I didn’t want to deal with her. It wo

    EmmaI didn’t even get to answer him. Because in the next second, an extreme pain tore through my belly. The pain was so intense that I felt my body was being split in two. “Ahh! It hurts—Ken!” I cried out. My hands flew to my stomach. The gut-wrenching pain rendered me speechless. I didn’t have to be a doctor to know that the fall hurt my baby more than it hurt me. At this time, I panicked. “Please… please. Not my b—”But my words stopped the instant I looked down. If I thought that nothing could ever make me feel more terrified than I already was, I was wrong. I saw something that I wished I never had.Blood.I could still feel its warmth. It was seeping out from between my legs and terrified me every second. My heart dropped. My mind couldn’t comprehend what was going on. All I knew was that at that moment, if help didn’t arrive, I would lose that one thing I held on to the most.My child. My everything.“No… no, no, no…” My hands trembled as I reached between my legs. As if I

    EmmaI found myself standing in a field I didn’t recognize for some reason.I didn’t remember how and when I had gotten here. And yet, I wasn’t worried. In fact, I felt the exact opposite., I felt calm…and in peace. Surprisingly, even happy. It was like the field was a magical place where negative emotions didn’t exist. My eyes scanned around. I saw some trees I wasn’t familiar with. The ground was covered with colorful flowers I hadn’t seen before. The field was filled with colorful butterflies. Even the colors of their wings were something I didn’t recognize. It was an unfamiliar place filled with unfamiliar things and yet, it felt like my home in a distant memory. And then, I caught a glimpse of a little boy standing a few feet from me. I felt that my heart was filled with immense love for him the moment I saw him smile at me. It definitely made my day. Surprisingly, the boy looked just like Andrew. They had the same dark hair and the same bright blue eyes. But his smile was dif

    EmmaThere was a pause. I didn’t expect the question. Why would I? Ken and I had been practically strangers for years since it had been a while since we last saw each other. Yes, we were close. In the past. And now? I wasn’t sure anymore. So, I did what was expected of me. Lie. To protect not only myself but my husband’s pride. At least until our divorce was finalized. “Of course, I am well. Why would you think I am not?” I asked. I added a slight humor to my answer to help my response come off as more convincingI was expecting him to drop the subject but he didn’t. Instead, he looked me straight in the eyes and said, “Since when did you learn to lie so well? The Emma I remember wouldn't do that.”My mouth went agape. I was caught off guard by the intensity of his words. I didn’t expect Ken to remember me that way. And yet, I knew he wasn’t lying. Because the Emma Watson who existed before she married Andrew Campbell was nothing but a bearer of truth. “You are not like this, Emma

    Emma“Andrew?” The moment my eyes landed on the flowers in his hand, my heart warmed. Maybe Andrew, by some miracle, finally realized that he had been neglecting me for so long. Maybe after hearing I bled and was rushed to the hospital, he finally cared. He had thought about everything that happened in the past and realized he had been a jerk and wanted to make up.That finally, he realized he couldn’t live without me. My heart leaped with joy. I had been waiting for this moment for so long. Would I accept him? That wasn’t even a question. Of course, I would give him a chance. Not just for myself but for a chance for the life growing inside me. I knew I might be called stupid, gullible, or hopelessly bonded with Andrew but what can I do? Andrew was the father of my child and I would be willing to swallow my pride and bet on him again if I had to all for the sake of giving my unborn child the complete family he deserved. I was about to approach him, hug him, and tell him that I was

    EmmaAndrew growled, “Do you think I care? Back off, pal. Who do you think you are?”Ken didn’t flinch. Instead, he walked forward. His head was up and full of confidence, he said,“I’m Kenneth John Cavanaugh. Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. I don’t belong to your pack, so I don’t have to follow your commands. But Emma is my friend. A very good friend. And even if she wasn’t, I would still call you out for treating her like that.”Andrew’s fists clenched at his sides. “You think you can just barge into our personal life and tell me how to handle my wife? You’ve got some nerve, pal.”Andrew’s eyes changed from blue to golden yellow, indicating that his wolf was taking over. But Ken remained calm. In fact, too calm for Andrew’s liking. “What I saw wasn’t a husband handling things but a disrespectful husband grabbing his wife like she was just property. You’re not acting like an Alpha. Even Omegas treat their mates better. Did you forget Emma is your wife and your Luna? If your pack sees

    AndrewI helped Jessica lie quietly on her bed. In return, she gave me a soft smile to show her gratitude.“Let me call the doctor to check on you,” I said. But before I could take another step, she reached out and grabbed my arm.“No need, Andrew. I’m feeling better now,” she said gently. “Besides, the doctor will take his scheduled rounds in about an hour. I’ll just wait for that instead of bothering him.”I looked at her for a second. She seemed calm, but since her injury was on the head, I didn’t want to be complacent.“Are you sure?” I asked.“Yes, I’m sure.” She nodded as she touched my arm. “Just stay here and be with me until my parents come. Can you?”I nodded. “Of course. I’ll stay here until they arrive.”“Thanks, Andrew.”“Don’t mention it.” Jessica turned her head to the side and shut her eyes. Poor girl! She must have been too exhausted to need a quick nap. My eyes turned to the chair in the corner of the room and I sat down. Everything was quiet now. And yet, my mind

    AndrewI looked at her.Jessica’s familiar fingers moved slowly over mine. Then, she slid them beneath the cuff of my shirt with the same gentle grace I used to know so well. Her touch lingered for a brief moment. “Because if you were to ask me,” she whispered, “not a day goes by that I haven’t thought about you every single time.”Once, those words would’ve pulled me under. I would’ve reached for her hand and never let go. Hell, I might’ve dragged her straight to the nearest officiant and married her on the spot. Jessica was my first love. And for a while, I believed she’d be my last.But now… everything felt different.“Do you remember the time we used to sneak out at dusk just to watch the sunrise? You’d always bring that horrible-tasting instant coffee because you said we cannot bring the coffee maker with us?”I let out a breath. “You never finished your cup.”Yeah. Because it was never about the coffee. Heck, I didn’t care whether we drank cold water,” she said gently. “Just th

    EmmaThe nurse smiled as she gently removed the IV from my arm.“You’re all set to go home now, Luna,” she said kindly. “But… where’s the Alpha? Isn’t he coming to pick you up?”Her words poked something inside my chest. And yet, I tried my best to hide it by smiling gently. “There was an emergency in the pack he needs to attend to,” I said softly. “That’s why he called to let me know he can’t take me home.”“Oh,” The nurse looked surprised for a second, then nodded. “It must be hard to be the wife of an alpha. I really admire you for your patience and understanding.”I just nodded and smiled again. “Yeah. Thanks.” Deep inside, I wanted to slap myself for making yet another excuse for my husband’s neglect. After all, he didn’t deserve any of it. And yet, I couldn’t just stand by and let his reputation be destroyed. At least until the time I walked away from this marriage for good. I didn’t have to call him to know the truth. Andrew wasn’t here to accompany me because he was with Je

    AndrewThe moment Jessica told me about Andrew and Emma’s secret meeting, I knew I had to confront Emma about it.My feet stomped all the way upstairs once we reached Dark Desert Pack. I slammed the door to Emma’s room, where I found her preparing for bed.Emma’s movements were still affected by her injuries. She slowly tilted her body toward me. I cleared my throat and bluntly said,“I don’t want to see Ken’s shadow in my pack.” I was expecting Emma to object, but she didn’t say anything. I waited for a moment, but still, nothing. “Did you hear what I said?” I raised my voice, hoping this time Emma would answer. She took a deep breath and asked softly. “May I know why?”“Are you seriously asking that?” I said irritably. How could she be so clueless?“It’s not right for a married Luna to be seen with an unmated Alpha like Ken. What if someone sees you? What if rumors start spreading?” I raised my finger, making sure she understood exactly what I meant. “It’s wrong, and it won’t be

    I ran my hands through my hair before letting out a deep breath. My head was filled with so many thoughts. I made a choice. And I wasn’t going to back down now.I sat quietly, trying not to think, when the door opened.“Alpha Andrew,” Mathilde said as she walked in with a doctor.“Good evening, Alpha,” the doctor said. “The patient is stable. She can go home tonight. It was just stress. Nothing serious. Just make sure she gets rest.”I gave a small nod and looked at Jessica. “That’s good.”Just then, another nurse stepped in. “Miss Mathilde, someone’s asking for you outside.”Mathilde turned to me. “Please watch over Jessica for now. I’ll be back soon.”“Of course.”Then, she left with the doctor eaving me alone with Jessica.After a while, neither of us said anything. The room felt still until Jessica broke the silence above us.“Are you okay?” she asked. When I turned to her, she was smiling. Her voice pulled me out from my thoughts. I gave a short nod. “Yeah. I’m fine.”I nodded.

    AndrewInside the hospital, I remained motionless. My thoughts went back to the scene earlier. Emma sat in that wheelchair, her feet wrapped in bandages. I thought I should feel something. But surprisingly, I didn’t. Nothing. No guilt. No pity. No regret.“You really didn’t feel anything after what happened? Emma was hurt, and you allowed that to happen,” Stan said in my head. “How could you be so heartless?”I didn’t answer right away. He wouldn’t understand, anyway. He still thought like someone who had the luxury of feelings.“She deserved it,” I said finally. “And it had to be done.”I wiped my hands on my pants, like a gesture to remove the cup of guilt from my side. Alpha Roger made his conditions clear. He wanted loyalty. Proof that I could make the hard calls. That I could lead without hesitation and I could put duty above emotion.The business deal he offered would open doors, alliances, resources, and influence. It would secure our future.So when he asked for entertain

    EmmaAndrew glanced at me while driving. “I thought you were going to wait for things to settle down in New York?”I gave a bitter smile. “Plans have changed, Ken.”After everything that happened tonight, I think my soul finally screamed loud enough. I’d had enough. I lost count of how many times I disrespected myself just to win Andrew’s heart. I forgot my own worth trying to prove my love. I gave up the purpose I once had, all for a wolf who did nothing but hurt and humiliate me.There was no reason to delay anymore. It was time to move on.Admitting it out loud was hard. I had been holding onto the same fragile hope every day, blindly believing that fate would one day choose me. But I was wrong.Now, I had no choice but to leave.A part of me still wondered, though. Was Andrew doing this on purpose? Did he really want to get rid of me? Did he hate me that much?Ken let out a sigh and spoke in a calm but serious tone. “I understand. I’ll take care of everything you need.”I was take

    EmmaInside the Cavanaugh Hospital….The hospital room was large and clean. My bed was comfortable enough to be mistaken for a hotel bed rather than something used in the hospital. A vase of fresh flowers sat on the side table, and the air smelled faintly of lavender instead of antiseptics. I turned to my side a saw a doctor reading my chart, while a few nurses moved around quietly, checking on me. Andrew was nearby, observing. He leaned in and spoke to the doctor in a low voice.“I treated her wound quickly back in Dark Desert. Please check it again and give her something strong for the pain,” he said.The doctor nodded and thanked him.Even though Andrew wasn’t the one holding the tools, it was clear he had some kind of power here. The nurses moved quickly, and the doctor followed his requests without question. They treated me with care, like I was someone important.And I wasn’t used to that.For a moment, something warm settled in my chest. I turned my gaze to Ken. He was doing r

    Andrew“I told you…I’m a man of my word,” Alpha Roger boasted as he waved the papers that sealed our deal.Beta James stood by while Alpha Roger looked at me with a smug grin. Around me, the room buzzed with some discussions but none of it reached me. My mind was elsewhere. No, with someone.Emma.My heart felt restless. No matter how hard I tried to insert myself in this conversation, I just couldn’t. It was like everyone around me was speaking a different language that I didn’t understand. Fuck! What the hell is wrong is with me?Emma’s face haunted me. It was burned into the back of my eyelids. I blinked, but she was still there. Her face in pain and disappointment was playing inside my mind over and over like a broken record. And deep down, I knew it was my guilt eating me because of what I did to her. I should’ve been with her. I should’ve never let her stand alone.I wanted to go back to her and check if she was okay. I wanted to thank her for carrying the burden that she shou

    EmmaThe room fell silent. That one question hit the deepest part of me. It touched a pain I had tried so hard to hide. My chest tightened. Was I really that pitiful in other people’s eyes? I swallowed as the truth hurt more than I expected it to be.I took a deep breath. And then, I placed a hand on my stomach. I had been pretending to be strong for so long. Yet deep inside, I was falling apart. The smile I forced looked more like a sad mask than anything real.“Soon,” I said quietly. “I want to end this marriage soon… and start over with my baby.”I breathed in again. This time, deeper, like I was trying to make a release. I had been thinking about it more and more lately. And sadly, all of the thoughts and scenarios inside my mind only led to one destination. Letting go. This wasn’t just about me anymore. If I couldn’t save myself, then I had to at least try for the innocent soul inside me. For my baby, and the promise of a happy and better life for him.Ken moved closer and sat

    EmmaI shed a tear not because of the pain beyond my wildest imagination, but because of who was holding the paper that led me into this permanent wound. My heart broke into a million pieces, reminded that Andrew was the one who held my hand closer to the mouth of these monsters.“How foolish…” I whispered, blaming myself for holding onto the same small hope I had kept for Andrew.The luna title I held was nothing but a name. There was no worth in carrying this title. I had no idea why the moon goddess chose me. But if we ever faced each other one day, I would ask her with this same heavy heart.“Was I cursed?”This stupidity might be a curse. Or a disease without a cure. Why couldn’t my heart understand that Andrew would never care? I had seen it multiple times. I had confirmed it through countless actions. And yet my heart clung to that small beacon of desperate hope that one day, everything would change like a tide switching its current unpredictably deep in the waters.I never lea

    Andrew“Andrew… Do you really mean that?”I was speechless. The disappointment in her eyes crushed my soul. Her eyes never left me, wearing that pain that made me unable to breathe.At that point, I wanted to chase my own words and put them back in my mouth. I couldn’t stand a second staring at Emma’s eyes. My lips trembled, trying to utter a few words. But then again, I was reminded I was the Alpha of this pack.I had said what I said. An Alpha always honored his words. Without it, the pack would crumble into pieces. Taking back my words would mean painting my name with my own hands.My mind controlled the muscles of my lips. I didn’t say a word, even after witnessing Emma’s disappointment.“Very well!” Emma’s father exclaimed. He turned his fierce eyes on his daughter, waiting for a reasonable response.Out of the blue, Beta James’ words echoed in my head.“A certain sacrifice means everything if it’s done for the sake of our people.”Emma was the Luna of the Pack.
