~James~Natalia, who heard my words, nodded her head in response. I stared at her for a moment and then she sighed. “There is something you need to know as well, Alpha James,” Natalia said in her sad voice. I looked at her with furrowed brows. There's something in my heart that already knows what Natalia would about to tell me. I could already feel that it has something to do about Emerald.I uttered, “Tell me what it is.”Natalia's pressed lips opened up, and she spoke, “Gideon and Emerald are getting married. I heard it before your men took me here, but I don't know when the ceremony will start.”My fists clenched from what Natalia had told me. I know Gideon has already asked her hand, but I didn't expect that the wedding ceremony would come early. ‘Gideon definitely used the moment when Emerald accepted his proposal. He wouldn't waste some time, and you're getting late, James. You have to do something to stop the marriage, or else Emerald will suffer again!’ Logan muttered at th
~Emerald~I woke up so early the next morning when I heard knocks at my door. Jacob was crying in his crib and Cassandra is not here yet. I left him for a moment to open the door and Gideon's men were what I found outside. They are holding a big box and my eyes are fixed on it. I stared at the box with my furrowed brows. “Miss Emerald, Alpha Gideon would like to give you this. He can't come here because he's busy preparing for your wedding with him tonight.”I moved backwards upon hearing those words from one of Gideon's men. I didn't expect that he had already prepared the wedding without my consent. “O-Our wedding will be tonight?” I asked, stuttering. Gideon's men stared at each other as if they were confused about what I had said. Gideon and I were just engaged last night and I can't believe that we are getting married tonight. Is it not too early for this? ‘You wanted this, right? Don't be surprised. This is already expected, Emerald,’ Lilian responded at the back of my hea
~Emerald~“I don't know, Cass. I don't know if I still wanted to marry Gideon. Lying to myself is the wrong thing I did.”Cassandra was listening to me. Her stare looks like it was telling me how she wants to comfort me right now. I am really grateful to have her as my friend. She's the only person I can trust with. ‘I asked you to listen to me before, but I will not regret it. I understand your feelings, Emerald,’ Lilian muttered at the back of my head. I just bit my bottom lips, trying to stop my tears from falling again. All this time, my wolf is right. She was giving me clues those times, but I didn't mind her. I keep on shutting her. “If you're doubting about marrying Gideon, then don't continue it. Don't punish yourself into this marriage that you don't like at all. You should learn to follow what your heart wants, Emerald,” Cassandra uttered to me. I looked at her and saw her gaze. She was looking at me as if she's trying to convince me about doing what is right and this ma
~James~I waited the whole night for Levi's information about what's going on at Gideon's pack. He's not calling me yet and while waiting for his information, I decided to talk to everyone. I wanted to prepare them just in case something happened to me. The wolves at the Crescent Moon Pack wondered what could be the reason for my sudden meeting with them. They are already gathered at the field and commotion has started. As they saw me coming, they were all in silence. “I know each one of you are wondering what could be the reason I called all of you here,” I began the speech and the entire pack were listening. “I just wanted to inform all of you that you have to be careful, no matter what happens. You all have to prepare in case something will happen. We all know that there are so many enemies who want to see me down, and I'm worried that they will indulge all of you.”As those words escaped from me, the wolves were in chaos. I could see them quarreling and talking about something a
~James~It's as if my world rambled when I heard those words from Natalia. My body started trembling, my heart started shrinking. The tears from my eyes were threatening to fall, but I kept my composure. I should not show any weakness towards Natalia and most of all, this is not the perfect time for crying.“Tell Levi to take a rest, Natalia. He has nothing to worry about. I will handle this situation myself.” My head tilted down as I said those words to her. Natalia furrowed her brows. She wondered what could be in my head, but she didn't say anything. Natalia bowed her head and left me.I watched her leave before letting my tears fall from my eyes. This information I have gotten from Levi was too painful to handle. I can't imagine the woman I desired to be with someone else. She's supposed to be mine. I first owned her. Emerald is mine.‘If you love her, then do something!’ Logan uttered.My hands turned into fists and I nodded my head to agree with Logan. I will definitely stop th
~James~Levi bowed his head as a sign of giving up. I know he would rather not oppose my decision and there's nothing he can do about it.“Seems that I couldn't stop you anymore, Alpha James. I know you just loved that woman, and I am not against it, but you know you can't stop us from worrying. You are not just an Alpha, but you are an Alpha King, and if—”“Gideon and the rest of his allies couldn't bring me down. I swear to all of you that I will do my best to survive, but of course we have to be sure. Just in case I won't return tomorrow until dawn, it means something happened to me. It means that I failed to save my family, and you know what to do, Levi. Declare yourself as the Alpha of the pack with my blessing. Wolves already know the rules.”I got it. Levi worries that Gideon might be able to kill me and with that, he could have my position, but I am not weak.“But—”Levi couldn't continue his words when I cut him off from talking again. “No buts, Levi. Do what I told you. I wi
~James~“What's the meaning of this!?” I couldn't control my anger when I found out something. Gideon and a lot of his men are standing in front of me. I turned my head at the back and found out that there are so many enemies surrounding me. I gritted my teeth and hands turned into fists as I looked at Calvin and Natalia. “What's this, Calvin?” I inquired towards my gamma, and he bent his head down. That moment, I knew Calvin betrayed me. I never thought he would do this to me. ‘F*ck! I didn't even know that your gamma is a traitor!’ Logan screamed. I just clenched my fists while staring to him. Natalia is now smirking as if she was so proud of herself that she succeeded in deceiving me. “What happened to the Alpha King of the entire wolves?” Gideon uttered, and my head turned to him at this time.My step-brother was already smirking, but I only shook my head. I couldn't help but cross my arms while looking at him. “Do you think trapping me would make you strong, Gideon?” I gr
~Emerald~I kept walking back and forth while staring at the wall clock. It's already seven in the evening, but James didn't show up. Cassandra and I already pack our things. We are ready to escape in less than thirty seconds before the wedding will start.‘James will not show up anymore, Emerald. Let's go!’ Lilian said, but I let out a sigh. I was waiting for Cassandra because she went back to her house to take something important there.‘We can't. Let's wait a few minutes before leaving. I was still hoping James would show up here,’ I responded to my wolf. Lilian just nodded her head and she didn't complain. Jacob is in his crib, waiting to be carried in the arms. After one minute, I just saw Cassandra rushing inside. “Emerald,” she uttered, which made me look at her. “Alpha Gideon's men are gathered outside. It's as if they were up to something!” I could feel my knees trembling when I heard what Cassandra had told me. I walked through the window in front of the house, and found
~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
