Chapter 186 - Discussion

[Emily’s P.O.V.]

Alpha had been away on business for more than half a month. And whenever I called him, he never picked up. I had no idea where he went or what he was doing, and the fact that he didn’t pick up my calls made me very unhappy.

During this period of time, I felt very bored because my friends were all dead. Since my father had been stripped of his position as the castle’s butler, my fake girlfriends had completely changed their attitude toward me. Still, it wasn’t all bad. At least I had seen them for what they really were.

Jones never invited me to parties again since she was angry at me for messing up at Luna’s ceremony. Naomi also did not attempt to hide her hatred for me whenever we bumped into each other in the pack’s territory.

And my best friend, Jacqueline, was just a disappointment. I didn’t want to talk to or about her anymore, not since she became grateful to Rose just because the b*tch gave her a living allowance and a job at the community church when Jacqueline’s alcoholic father fell and ended up in a vegetative state a few months ago.

The b*tch might seem like a kind soul to others, but I knew that she was just sucking up to others to pull them away from me. She must see me as a threat.

Even the stupid elf Eve kept giving me the stink eye, which was hilarious.

But only I knew that I was so close to becoming Luna. After all, Beta and Gamma had said last time that Alpha was ready to move on, that his heart couldn’t stay with that b*tch forever, and that Sunset Pack needed new Luna. I decided to treat Alpha’s frequent business trips as proof that he was taking his mind off things, that he was getting back into work to move on too.

Since he had promised me that he would marry me and make me Luna, it was only a matter of time before my dream came true. When I became Luna, I wouldn’t make things end well for anyone who had gone against me, including Gamma Jane and Beta Diana. They were just a couple of stuck-up sluts I couldn’t wait to establish absolute authority over.

And if any she-wolf in the pack had any designs on Edward, I would gouge out her eyes or perhaps banish her, depending on my mood. Edward could only belong to me and that was a must. I didn’t care how the pack operated, that was Alpha’s jurisdiction. All I had to do was hold on to my position and have crazy sex with Edward on the big bed I had always dreamed of.

I couldn’t help smiling at the thought that I would soon become Luna.

Just as I was about to go home, I heard a few Omega servants chatting in the corner.

“Are you serious?”

“I swear I really heard it. When I was serving Luna Taylor, Betta Diana, and Gamma Jane afternoon tea, they clearly mentioned it. When Alpha was on a business trip, he met a she-wolf and fell in love with her at first sight.”

“But Luna Rose just left not long ago! She was so beautiful and kind. I didn’t expect our Alpha to find a new lover so quickly.”

“What I heard was that she was a single mother with a newborn child, which made the ranked members very unhappy.”

“Oh my God! Why would Alpha take a fancy to such a woman? Maybe he had already given up after losing Luna.”

“Who knows? To be honest, I miss Luna Rose. She doesn’t put on airs and isn’t mean at all. I guess Alpha will bring that woman and her child back to the pack after the business trip.”

“I only hope that this new woman will not make things too difficult for me. If she can measure up to one-fifth or even one-tenth of Luna Rose, I will be thankful.”

“I think so too.”

I did not continue listening. I went straight back to my home and closed the door. My strength caused the wooden door to slam against the door frame with a loud sound. I felt my blood rush to the top of my head as my eyes turned black with anger.

“What the hell are you doing?”

My father came from the kitchen, scolding me. Since I had cost him his job, he had been nagging me every day that his conscience was suffering. His attitude toward me was getting worse. But how was any of this my fault? I did not ask him to do this d*mn thing for me. But I couldn’t care less.

The Omega servants must have heard wrong. Edward couldn’t have fallen in love with a single mother on a business trip and had to bring her back to the pack.

He wasn’t like that. I didn’t believe he was. He couldn’t have settled for a mate so simply. It was just hearsay. There was no proof. It couldn’t have happened.

I forced myself to take a few deep breaths and took a few steps back. If Edward really did what he did to Rose and brought these prostitutes back to the pack from other places, I would never let it go. No one could stop me from becoming Luna of Sunset Pack, not even the moon goddess.
