Emilia

Chapter Seventeen

Alaric's POV

What did I just do? 

I just shifted in front of Emilia who is human, I just committed a crime in the werewolf community! My Alpha title could be taken from me if anyone finds out. When Logan got close to her in the clearing I felt jealous, I couldn't shake away the feeling once I got back to the pack house. My jealousy turned into anger, in spite I shifted in front of Emilia and she didn't take it to well. I caught her before she hit the cold ground, I decided to take her back to her apartment in the city. This was the second time I held my mate in my arms, before I ignored the sparks but now they are spreading throughout my body like wildfire. I wonder if she can feel them or is it just me. 

I carried Emilia to my black SUV, setting her down in the backseat before I get into the drivers seat. During the ride I could hear her stirring in her sleep, she would sometimes let out a whimper. She looks so innocent, how could someone like that be my mate. 

"The Moon Goddess gave you Emilia for a reason." says Aaron. 

'But for what reason, she is a human girl, she doesn't belong in my world.' 

"She does now." 

The drive to Emilia's apartment seems to get shorter every time, I'm starting to come into the city to often. No one was on the street so it wouldn't look suspicious carrying an unconscious woman to her apartment in the middle of the night. Emilia stirred in my arms and I instinctively tightened my grip on her body, the sparks intensity increasing. The walk to her door was short but I now realize that I don't have a key. I took a chance to turn the door handle just in case it was unlocked, to my displeasure it was. The door swung open as I rolled my eyes, I stepped inside the familiar room and started walking to the bedroom. Her bed was still messy and the blinds on her window were open. I narrowed my eyes at them when I thought of a man peeking through her window at night. I set Emilia carefully down on her bed, then I drape her comforter over her body. Moving towards the windows I hastily close the blinds leaving the room now in complete darkness. Taking a look over my shoulder I look at Emilia's sleeping figure before I leave, I want to stay longer but there's important business to be done.

The next day I sat in my office with Cameron talking about an upcoming pack visit. 

"The Caiman Pack will be here next Tuesday, the Alpha is looking for a mate so we have to make a list of all the unmated females and males." I informed Cameron. 

"Didn't the Caiman Pack fight us in a war last year?" 

"Yes and remember how they miserably lost, and how I cut off the head of the Beta's mate when she stabbed me." I laughed. 

Cameron laughed as well but shifted uncomfortably when thinking about his mate doing the same thing and meeting that woman's fate. 

There was a silence between us before I broke it, 

"I want to postpone the ceremony of Megan becoming Luna."

Cameron looked at me with wide eyes and a slight smile.

"Oh, of course Alpha I'll inform the elders. Any reason why you are postponing?"

"The mate bond is getting stronger Cameron, I cannot fight it forever." I sigh. 

"That is great Alaric! I'm glad you are starting to accept Emilia." 

I look over at him with a side glance. 

"I'm not accepting, I'm just tolerating." 

Cameron just smirks as he walks towards the door. 

"Whatever you say Alaric."

I spent the day in my office and now I was taking a break on my balcony, looking over at the field where my warriors are training. The young warrior, Noah has started to improve immensely I was proud that he became strong so quickly. The sound of stomping heels can be heard echoing throughout the hallway and soon they stop at my office door. There was no knock but instead a loud crashing sound of a wooden door slamming and the sight of a livid Megan. 

"POSTPONING THE CEREMONY! How dare you Alaric! I was to be your Luna in two more days, what happened!" She yelled. 

I stepped out of my balcony and closed the glass doors, turning back to the seething woman in front of me I reply, 

"I have a mate." 

The silence in the air was deadly, you could hear a pin drop on the wooden floor beneath us. 

"What." She grits out. 

"I have a mate." 

"You have a mate and didn't tell me!" Megan screams.

"I just told you twice." 

"For how long have you known."

"A month."

"And yet you still kept this Luna ceremony going? Do you even want her, or do you want me?" She smiles. 

What a change in demeanor, talk about psycho. 

"I postponed the ceremony...you know what I cancel it. You are no longer needed to be this packs Luna, go find your place elsewhere Megan." 

"You can't do this to me!" 

"I can and I did, also remove yourself from my pack house. We aren't sharing a bed anymore so find your own place to sleep tonight." 

Tears well up in her eyes as she storms out of my office. 

"That was dramatic." sighs Aaron. 

'You're telling me.'

"I'm proud that you are accepting mate and making steps to make her ours for good." 

'I'm not accepting, I'm tolerating.'
