~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~My heart was shattered into pieces when I found out what Gideon did to him. He killed the man I love. He killed the man whom I was about to see. Gideon killed James and I have never expected him to do this. “W-Why, Gideon?” I stuttered, and continued, “Why did you do this to him?” Gideon kneeled to level his face with mine. He continued smirking and as I saw his reaction right now, I saw a different person. It's as if I see another Gideon. This is not how he looks before killing James. He looks kind-hearted…‘I told you, Emerald. Gideon is not a kind Alpha. He was hiding something, and I wasn't wrong all this time,’ Lilian muttered, which made me bite my bottom lips. I regretted that I didn't listen to her. My wolf was giving me hints, but I closed my heart. I didn't listen to her and follow what my mind was telling me to do. Just because of that, I totally lost the man whom I realize that I loved now. I totally lost James and I don't know what to do. I wanted to attack
~Emerald~ After getting up from the ground, I turned my body away from him and was about to step my legs when Gideon grabbed my hand. He pulled me back to him and was about to embrace me when I lifted my hand. I slapped him across his face and he froze in his direction. “How dare you kill James, Gideon? How f*cking dare you to touch him!” I raged, tears still streaming from my face. Gideon gritted his teeth. He pointed a finger in my direction with his face covered by anger. I never showed him any hint of fear. Gideon has to know that I am also angry from what he did to James. “Why the f*ck you're defending him now, Emerald? I thought you also wanted him dead?” Gideon asked, his face covered with confusion. I grinned, my fists still clenched while looking at him. “I was defending him because I still loved him. All this time I realized that I still needed him by my side. I didn't feel anything from you, Gideon, and I was right with my decision. I did the right thing that I didn'
~Emerald~My heart was already broken, but it worsened when I found out about James' death. I don't know how to accept this bad news. It's killing me slowly, but when I looked at my son's face, he reminded me of his father. He reminded me that I should not give up because I still got him and everything I am doing now is for him. My wedding with Alpha Gideon will resume tonight at exactly in the middle of the night. I was back at my cabin with Cassandra and Jacob. Gideon's men are everywhere. He found out about my attempt to escape. That's why he made sure his men were guarding the possible exit door of my house. I don't have a choice. He threatened Jacob's life. I don't want my son to suffer in my selfish acts. Even if I don't like it, I have to marry that son of the devil. “Are you sure you want to do this, Em?” I looked up when I heard Cassandra. She was helping me to wear the wedding dress that Gideon prepared for me. I couldn't help but look at myself in the mirror. The weddin
~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~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
