Chapter 190: Peaceful Coexistence?
[Emily’s P.O.V.]
Before I received the call from Dylan, the Chief Guard of the pack, I had already heard the news that had spread faster than the wind.
Edward had really brought back a sl*t, a sl*t he had just met on the streets of a foreign country. Hearing this made me tremble with anger. I thought he’d been focused on his work while he was away from the pack. But he was out of town romancing that b*tch instead.
He’d just asked Dylan to call me into his office so maybe he wanted to explain something to me. Either way, I had to assert my sovereignty. That b*tch could never be his lover. I hope that she was just a sex toy at the very most.
I arrived at Edward’s office as fast as I could. Just when I wanted to push the door open to enter, I heard some noises inside. It sounded pretty loud like an argument was happening. So I didn’t open the door right away. Instead, I leaned lightly on the door and listened.
“Edward, I’m very disappointed in you. How long has Rose been gone? And yet here you are, returned with your one-night stand!”
It was the voice of that old witch Taylor. She had never liked me. She had retired a long time ago, but all the Omega servants still addressed her as Luna, which made me puzzled. Once I became Luna, I would make sure that I was the only one in the pack who used the title Luna. But she finally said something acceptable this time.
“Alpha, I am with Luna Taylor. I even suspect that the reason this b*tch came back to the pack with you is to make her son our Alpha!” It was that loud-voiced shrew Jane who spoke this time.
“Baby!”
“Ad, don’t try to dissuade me. Don’t you think so?”
“Alpha, although I’ve only been in the pack for a short time, Luna Rose is my best friend. I can’t just stand by and watch her mate get married so quickly, forced to give my blessings against my will.” It was that annoying human Diana speaking.
“Oh, Mona, don’t take it to heart. I will persuade Diana.” It was Patrick, still speaking up for that b*tch who had just arrived.
“Dad, Mom?”
“I can’t be happy, son. Rose’s parents and I are old friends. I don’t know how I will ever face them in the afterlife if I approve of your union,” said Alpha Leon.
“Son, if this woman has something on you, please tell me!”
“Mom, what are you talking about! I love Mona!”
D*mn it, he actually said that he loved her?
“Alright, since you insist on keeping this up, I can only say that I will only ever approve of Rose. Gosh, I truly miss her right now. She was like my daughter. Mona, listen, your child is innocent so don’t worry. We won’t do anything to him. But if you want to replace my daughter-in-law who had just left, you can keep dreaming.”
I was still leaning on the door to listen but the door was suddenly opened with force from the inside. I immediately felt embarrassed for getting caught. Also because I almost fell over.
“Emily? What the hell are you doing here?” It was that wh*re again, Jane.
“It was Alpha who sent me here!” I stood up straight, crossed my arms in front of my chest, and stared at her.
“Alright, looks like you guys have something to talk about. Alpha, I remember that you told us Emily would become Luna of the pack because she saved your life. So I will add this in: I don’t like either of these b*tches.”
“Who the f*ck are you? Do I need you to like me?” I roared at her angrily, but she only returned a disdainful gaze.
“Don’t argue in my office!”
Edward spoke in his Alpha voice before the ranked members left the office and closed the door behind them.
Only then did I see a young female werewolf sitting on the sofa in the office, holding a baby in her arms.
When our eyes met, my eyes were already spitting fire. But she looked at me quite strangely as well. She was clearly just a single mother who was down and out, but she looked very calm and proud. There was also hatred in her eyes but there was more disdain and pity, which made me even angrier.
“Emily, I think you’ve heard everything earlier. She’s the woman I fell in love with at first sight on a business trip. Her name is Mona.”
“I can’t believe you would fall in love with such a b*tch to bring her back.”
“Watch your words! No one in the pack can disrespect Mona! Don’t make me break your neck.” He shouted at me in Alpha’s voice.
I unwillingly lowered my head. My fists were already about to pop. Did Edward just threaten to break my neck for a she-wolf that he hadn’t known for that long? But then, I heard him sigh.
“Emily, don’t make things difficult for me. You’re the only she-wolf that saved my life and I did agree to marry you to make you Luna. Although you’re not popular and have a bad temper, you’re still a member of the pack. I think that compared to an outsider, especially a single mother, my parents would be more willing to accept a member of the pack as Luna.”
I quietly waited for him to continue, but just these few words from him made the situation clear. I was already the victor. But that b*tch was really strange. I couldn’t see any changes in emotion from her. She just hugged her child and stared at me.
“I don’t want to lie to you. What I want to tell you is that I love Mona, I don’t love you. Love is something that cannot be forced. Although Mona cannot become Luna of the race, for the sake of her and her child, I will marry her in the future to make her my mistress. So from now on, I will need the two of you to coexist peacefully, at least for the next few months.”
“So in a few months, will you marry me to become Luna? ?”
“I am not denying the possibility of this. After all, the Luna of Sunset Pack cannot have another man’s child. She can only give birth to my child.”
Edward turned to the b*tch on the sofa with a look he had never given me before. It was a gaze filled with love and tenderness. Despite his words, he made me feel like I was the f*cking third party.
“Fine. So, who is this b*tc-, I mean Mona?”
“Gosh, why do you have to ask so many questions? Just follow my lead!’ He turned back towards me but his expression had completely flipped 180.
“Alright, I promise you that I will live peacefully with her. For now.”
I had never expected this result from today’s conversation. Even though I was extremely angry at this sudden b*tch’s arrival, I had to agree first. After all, I didn’t want Edward to regret his decision to marry me.
I had already sacrificed so much and I was now only a step away from success. I just needed to hold on for a few more months. And when that time came, I would go after those who had mistreated me or stood in my way. This Mona b*tch would be the first.
Still, what truly broke my heart was Edward saying that he did not love me in front of this b*tch. He did not put in much effort to maintain any respect or dignity for me. How could he expect me to happily get along with this b*tch?
