~Emerald~I never waited for James to respond to me when I decided to go inside the room. I made sure that it's locked to prevent him from coming in.My heart started pounding again, the moment I entered the room. I touch my heart and rest my body against the door.I can't help but to feel guilty about what I've said to James. There was a part of me which regretted that I said those words, and I don't know why. I don't know why this happened to me. “Are you okay, Emerald?” Lilian asked, her tone looking worried about me. I let out a deep sigh, and then nodded my head in response. My head turned at Jacob who was still asleep. A smile formed on my lips as I walked near his crib. This is the best thing that has happened to my life. I didn't regret that I have a child with James because Jacob is the symbol of my love towards his father before.He was the living proof that I once loved his father. I never felt any regrets of giving myself to James because I have my handsome son. I promis
~Emerald~“Hello!?” I have been searching for the way out of this forest, but it seems like I was already lost. It was already almost an hour of being stuck in this nowhere. No one is living here, and it's just naturally surrounded by trees. “Can you just please rest?” Lilian muttered, trying to calm me down. I messed up my hair, and annoyingly sat on the ground. “How could I rest if we were lost? We couldn't even find the way back to the pack!” I uttered, almost screaming. Lilian took a deep breath, and then she replied, “I know your distress, but if you keep on doing that, it will be difficult for us to find the way!” I shook my head and washed my face using my hands. Staying in this forest is a wrong decision. This place was the home of many wild animals, and we're just lucky because we didn't meet any wild animals yet. I won't know later.“Maybe your instincts could help us,” I responded, but Lilian just let out a sigh. I shook my head and couldn't stop from letting out a de
~Emerald~“I'm sorry, Babe,” Alpha James apologized while his hands were still cupping my face. “I'm sorry if I can't help it.”My hands clenched into fists when I began to fight what I am feeling now. James just literally kissed me. I was stunned by that. No words would come out from my mouth as my mind was still preoccupied with how he crushed his lips with mine. I even felt a sudden disappointment when he stopped kissing me for no reason. This is such an insane imagination. I should not let this feeling overpower my anger towards James. He hurt me badly.I hated him, but at the same time, I wanted him. I want to feel his body against me, and I think this is unstoppable. After a year of hatred with James, he still has a part of me that I couldn't deny. I know I keep telling myself that I should not be feeling this with him, but my heart betrayed me.“Emerald,” James called me, so I lifted my head. “I want you now…”Just before I could even react to it, he took my lips again, not al
~Emerald~I suddenly woke up from being asleep, my forehead covered with sweat. I just had a bad dream. A dream that I don't want to happen again in reality. I took a deep breath and stared at my side. There was a pain in my heart when I saw his face. The man's face in my dream. I gritted my teeth as I rose from lying beside him. James woke up from being asleep, and then he furrowed his brows.“Emerald?” I gritted my teeth because of how he called my name. “Is there something wrong?”I couldn't stop washing my face with my hands as I felt annoyed after I realized the mistake I made. I was supposed not to allow him to touch me. James should not be here beside me. We shouldn't be f*cking, but why? Why did I allow James to fool me again? Why am I being so weak again? ‘Don't say that, Emerald. Nothing's wrong with you. It's just that, you can't deny the fact that your body still wanted him,’ Lilian spoke at the back of my head. I disregarded her words, and focused my eyes back to Jame
~Emerald~“Oh, James! I have been looking for you since afternoon!” I gritted my teeth after I saw Katie running into her husband's direction. My hands clenched into fists upon seeing her. I just followed her with a stare. Seems like I made a mistake looking at her. I just saw them kissing each other. ‘F*ck that woman!’ Lilian screamed. ‘See? He's still an idiot. We shouldn't trust him.’ This is my response to my wolf who shut her mouth now. Just for the last time, I shook my head and met Gideon on the way whose face was already dark. He just lessened his dark reaction when he saw me. “Are you just alright?” Gideon asked, and he began to check my body. I just laughed at him, trying to hide the nervousness from my body. “You have no idea how you made me worry. We just found out that you're missing and James as well.”I bit my bottom lips towards Gideon. I just hope that he wouldn't think that something happened to me and James. He would never know about it. I don't want him to thi
~Emerald~“Don't provoke me, Emerald. I know what my capabilities are. You have to learn to accept it. Seems like you are still in love with your ex-husband.”These words from Katie made my jaw tightened. I want to crash her mouth and throw her out of this pack, but still, I can't do that. This is not the perfect place to teach that woman a lesson.“I am not provoking you. I am just stating the facts here. You are just the second option, and look at you now. Your husband was trying to get rid of you, yet you still followed him here,” I muttered, making myself as calm as possible. Katie burst out laughing as if she finds my words so funny. I raised an eyebrow while waiting about what James would do to her.“You will not make a scene here, Katie. Don't you dare try my patience on you!” James looked so devastated now. I could feel from his voice how much control he just did because of his annoying wife.“Just deal with your wife, James. She's not allowed here in the first place,” Gideo
~Emerald~“What does he want to tell you about?” I bit my bottom lips from Lilian's question to me. I just shrugged my shoulders and watched Gideon leaving my direction. This time, I decided to enter the house and found Cassandra in her worried face.“Where have you been, Em? I found out that you're missing!” Cassandra shrieked, so I let out a deep breath before telling her what happened.“I got lost in the forest, but don't worry because I'm safe now,” I clarified, and she nodded her head, but still, her eyes were on me.“Did James save you?” I was stunned for a moment. It just came to me that James really saved me from the danger I got in earlier. Despite everything that happened to us in the past, I still can't forget the moment when he came to rescue me if I need his help. I wouldn't even dare to ask for help from him, but James was really there in everything. I have no idea how he did that, but what's important for me is that I'm back with my son. Nothing happened to me. ‘But
~Emerald~James' words really made me stunned. I couldn't even believe that I'd heard this from him.‘Well, expect the unexpected,’ Lilian spoke at the back of my head.I can't help but to bite my bottom lips as I tried myself not to overreact. James will not find out the reaction on my face that would make him think I was affected by him.“That's enough, James. I can treat my wound by myself,” I uttered in my cold tone. Alpha James continued what he was doing to my wound. He kept cleaning it until the bleeding stopped. I watched him do that, and my heart couldn't stop from beating. This is the first time in a year of anguish that my heart beat so fast. It pounded again because of James and I don't know why. I don't know why my heart will beat again for him after my greatest heartache from him. He betrayed me, he rejected me, and he threw me away from the pack. Why would my heart beat for him again?“I should keep my eyes on you next time,” James uttered to me. I stared at him, my
~Emerald~Months had passed by so quickly that we didn't notice. There are so many things that happened to us and now, I am carrying our second child. My labor is about to arrive, and we are now preparing for that. At this moment, I was in the living room with my friends. James is not here today because he has a meeting with the other Alphas. Of course, nothing changed. He's still busy with his responsibility and as his wife, I am being understandable.Aside from being the most powerful wolf, he's also handling the pack that we live in now.“Is there anything you wanted to eat, Emerald?” Katie asked.I looked at her, a smile formed on my lips. Never did I imagine that Katie would stay with us until now. Our start was never good. She's James' mistress before, but I was able to forgive her because she changed. She proved to me how sorry she was for what happened, and now she's part of the family. “Anything as long as it's healthy,” I responded, rubbing my stomach. “Got it, Luna,” she
~Emerald~I nodded my head from what James had told me now.“I know, James, but you can't stop me from helping you. You always protected me, and now it's my turn to do the favor,” I muttered in my calm tone.James shut his eyes, calming himself. I even saw him taking a deep breath before taking my hands to hold it.“I love you, Emerald, but you shouldn't feel guilty about all the things I did for you. It is my responsibility to protect you. You don't have to worry about me because I can handle myself. I am already on my way to make them pay because I am James, your Alpha King husband,” he explained, which made me nod my head quickly.“I know, I know, but it's done now. I already killed them with my gun. You couldn't get back to them anymore because I already dealt with them.” I mumbled.He shook his head, his lips curled. I was glad that he didn't get mad at me. I was already expecting him to scold me for being hard-headed, but I didn't expect his response.James kissed the back of my
~Emerald~Silence fell inside the club when my voice echoed inside. But after a minute, they started laughing. I just felt my blood start to boil when they did that, making me hold my gun tightly.“It's us, Beautiful. Do you have a problem with that?”The man in the middle spoke up, his smirk almost reached his ear. I tilted my head, looking at him straight in the eyes.“Look at her. She's playing with a toy gun.”Another one murmured, which made me smirk. They thought my gun was fake. I don't know what their reactions would be if I shoot them. But I will make the scene so thrilling.“Do you want to try this, Ugly?” I murmured, and the moment I muttered these words, it triggered him.He stepped closer to approach me, but before he could move his feet, I shot his leg. An excruciating scream echoes inside the club, which makes the other customers stunned.They moved backward, shock was written on their faces. I know they never expected that the toy gun they called is not actually fake.
~Emerald~As I thought about that group who played with James made my blood boil. James already told me that he's dealing with them, and he assigned Levi to find them now, but I still can't help it.It's as if my inner self was telling me to find them. I won't let them play with James, not the person I loved.So, I planned, but I need Ares' help. James is not in the pack for tonight. He was scheduled to visit another ally pack, and he's staying there for one night. Christopher is with him, which means, Levi and Ares are here.Therefore, I looked for them. I am needing them most for my plan. The moment I saw them, I never wasted more time.“Levi, Ares,” I uttered, seeing the two in the living room.The siblings stood up, looking at me.“What's up, Luna Emerald?” Ares asked, his brows furrowed.I let out a deep breath while looking at them straight in their eyes.“I need both of your help,” I muttered, which made them confused.“What's that, Luna Emerald?” Levi mumbled.My teeth gritted
~Emerald~Gideon and the other enemies that we have before who made our lives terrible are now finally gone. After the battle, we immediately saved those victims that Gideon imprisoned in his hideout, including Malverra.They are so grateful that we saved them from Gideon. Malverra is now reunited with her husband and others went back to their families.It was a relief to me to know that we saved so many lives through ending Gideon. The asshole has already been buried so deep to make sure that no one is going to dig him. Well, I don't think so. Gideon is gone now and there's no way he will return to our world. He's not that powerful.It's been a month since the day we killed Gideon. James and I were wedded again as our fresh start after dealing with Gideon, and now we're living happily in the pack. Even though he's still busy with his pack duties, he still never forgets about us.James made sure that he spent so much time with us, his family.It's already almost in the middle of the n
~Emerald~I can feel my eyes start to darken upon hearing those words towards Gideon. He admitted to James that he doesn't want his offer because what he wanted is to kill James.Gideon is just so wise, but he's not thinking about the capabilities I possess. He's too focused towards James and I used that opportunity to escape from him. I know that this is risky, but I have no other way to escape from him.‘Lilian, you know what to do.’At this point, I let my wolf do the work. Lilian winks at me and the next thing I know, she has already taken my body. Gideon was stunned by what Lilian did, which made him unable to stop us. The moment he let go of me, Lilian started running through James' direction.When James witnessed what my wolf did, he also used that opportunity to run into Gideon's direction. James couldn't move because he knows if he does that, something might happen to me and now that I am no longer in Gideon's hands, nobody can stop James to kill him.After we reached James'
~Emerald~I have no idea where the hideout of Gideon is, but I follow where my heart is taking it. I just listened to my feelings and then my vision also showed me the way. That was unexpected. I never thought that my vision would reveal the way to where the battleground is.For me to reach there easily, I let my wolf lead the way. It only took us half an hour before we finally reached the place. I didn't encounter enemies on my way through the battlefield and was able to arrive there peacefully.‘Emerald, better watch your surroundings. You have finally come to the place where the Alpha prohibits you to step into.’ Lilian reminded me, and I nodded my head in response.I took out my gun and started walking through the woods. Howls can be heard in my direction, which made me confirm that I wasn't lost.‘I will just find James. He's the reason I followed in here!’ I murmured at the back of my head, while continuing to walk through the hideout.After one minute, I finally reached the fie
~Emerald~I was currently in the room, thinking about James. It's been an hour already since they left the pack and I can't help but think of them. There would be a lot of things to happen knowing that I am not beside him. I just hope that James will succeed in killing Gideon.Making him disappear will solve all of our problems.‘You have to calm down, Emerald. Alpha James is definitely going to make it,’ Lilian uttered at the back of my head.I took out a deep breath before responding to her. It's true that I am really worried until now and this won't disappear if I couldn't see James.‘How can I calm down knowing that he's dealing with Gideon now, Lilian?’ I mumbled, and she just sighed.Lilian was about to speak again when I froze into my direction. I sensed some unfamiliar presence through the woods and my heart began to throb.I went to the window and checked the woods to confirm what I just felt right now. My teeth gritted when I noticed the incoming unfamiliar scents into our p
~Emerald~The moment I opened my eyes, I realized that we are finally back home. James' handsome face met my eyes. His brows furrowed when he looked at me, waiting when I would open my eyes.“What?” I murmured, raising my brows.“I thought you had no plan of waking up. We are finally back at the pack,” he responded.I moved my head around and then realized that we are still inside the car.“Why didn't you wake me up?” I wondered.This time, he couldn't hide his chuckle.“Why would I? My lady is sleeping peacefully, and I don't want to disturb you in your sleep.”I just shook my head, my lips curled. James helped me come out of the car, and now we're heading towards the mansion.The moment we are about to step inside the mansion, Levi rushes towards us. He was calling James' name, and we turned around at him.“Alpha James, you need to know something,” Levi stated, making my brows furrow.The serious expression on his face just made me so nervous. I know this reaction from Levi. He brin
