Chapter 11 - AN ENEMY IN THE EATERY II

Claire cussed as she heard Melvina's voice. Throwing her hands behind her back, she bent her heads in a bid to look sorry, while thinking inwardly of a hundred ways to deal ruthlessly with the human.

"Claire, didn't you hear my question?. What happened??" Melvina asked, getting pissed off at the beta's daughter already.

"Lu.." Claire tried saying, but Melvina cut her off through the pack link.

"Ma, would be preferable" Melvina had said, through the link.

"Oh.." Claire's mouth opened, then closed, after she tried assessing the situation.

Emma noticed the motions made by the eyes of the two females, One in a commanding way, the other subdued; but she kept quiet.

"Were they communicating with their eyes." She thought.

She couldn't wait to get alone with Melvina again; she had a lot of questions to ask. Everything in this county looked fishy.

"Ma, I had just tried to greet her." Claire finally said, still wondering why the Luna had mind linked her to call her 'ma'.

'Who is this human, what is her plan.and why is the Luna interested in her.' She thought, biting her lips in the process.

"So does a greeting involve fighting and bickering then?" Melvina asked, narrowing her eyes at Claire.

"No Lu..Ma. She just got angry immediately, and tried to attack me. I swear, I didn't do anything. You could ask the people around." Claire said, rolling her fingers on each other, her eyes already brimming with fake unshed tears.

Emma scoffed.

The girl was not only proud, but a stupid liar and actress. Of course the others will defend her. Apart from the fact that she was a new face, she could clearly tell that the Claire or whatever her name was, was a bully.

"Emma, is that true?" Melvina asked, her eyebrows raised up like a prosecutor interrogating a culprit.

"Do you think it's true?." Emma questioned back, standing at akimbo, ignoring the gasps from the people who had stopped eating to watch the scenario.

"This Blondie is a leechy piece of shit. Greet? She came to size me up, know whether I could be her newest candidate to bully. I just proved her wrong. End of story." Emma rattled off, her anger rising steadily, her hunger forgotten at the moment.

"Lu...Ma, Do you see? Her mouth is so sharp and rude. She even called me a psycho.." Claire mouthed off, still struggling with calling her Luna, 'ma'.

"Yeah, that's exactly what you are." Emma cut in, smirking at her.

Claire folded her fists by her sides tightly in anger. Her thoughts clogged with that of the human. She couldn't wait to be with the human alone. She would tear her limb to limb. She has always seen humans as pieces of weak shits and she was glad that Derrick had the same view with her.

Derrick, her obsession.

He will be turning 18 in a month, and would pick his mate then. Claire had no doubt that it would be her. She couldn't wait for Derrick to become the alpha too, his father was so weak in dealing with the humans like her brother. She only liked him because he approved of her relationship with his son.

When Derrick becomes the Alpha, then, they would banish the whole humans out of the county. She just have to be patient then, she thought, as a smile made its way across her pink lips.

"Melvina, please let's eat..I'm hungry.." Emma said, interrupting Claire's thoughts.

Taking the packaged dishes from the hands of the servers, she set it carefully on the table, licking her lips in anticipation.

She dug into the fries first, then drank the smoothie in turn, and belched loudly.

A chuckle caused Emma to lift up her head, while holding on to a fry still.

She saw Melvina smiling at her, her arms folded.

"Won't you eat?" She asked.

"Not this. It's all yours. Mine is coming." Melvina replied.

Emma could hear the gasps from the crowd again, even the Blondie was suprised.

She concluded that perhaps they were not used to an important person like Melvina eating in a common place with them.

This thought caused Emma to ponder why the lady was so interested and nice to her.

"Ok then." She replied, and continued eating, not paying attention to Claire that still stood in front of the table, fuming in anger.

"Ma, won't you do anything?" Claire asked, pouting her lips.

"Do what?" Melvina asked back, in a bored tone, looking out for the server with her own food. She was hungry too.

Emma humphed, and smirked at Claire at Melvina's question.

Seeing this, Claire seethed in anger.

"But she.." She tried saying.

"That's ok, Claire. Get going." Melvina said, dismissing her.

" Okay.."She said through her teeth, and walked off.

'The human should just wait'. She thought.

"You really like trouble, yunno.." Melvin said to Emma, smiling.

But Emma shrugged.

"I didn't do nothing. She was just plain rude." She stated after a while.

"Ya, I know." Melvina said, collecting her food from the server, who had been standing for a while.

"Are you gonna eat all that?." Emma asked, pointing at the dishes which was arrayed in front of her.

"Yeah, I have a large appetite." Melvina stated, pulling out a chair across the table, and sitting down.

"Eat up, so that I can walk you home. I have a meeting to attend to soon." She continued, picking up a fork.

"Oh, okay. Thanks a lot." Emma said smiling in appreciation.

"If you want more, perhaps to take home, just let me know too. I don't think that you have much to eat at home, since you moved in today." Melvina said.

" Alright." Emma said, thanking her stars; then she remembered the boys cleaning up her home.

'Ah, it seems like a long time.' she thought. Looking at her left wrist, she scoffed. She had left her wrist watch at home.

"Can I also get for the guys?, I will pay you later. I promise." She pleaded.

"Sure, no problem." Melvina replied.

Emma smiled, then smirked as she remembered Derek's dare.
