Chapter Sixty

Emily's POV 

“But Alpha, what is your plan exactly?” Adam asked.

“In due time, you'll know.” I responded.

“By the way, you and Penelope should get going. Have the others retreat and leave. When my brother's warriors arrive, it'll be hard to leave.”

“Your brother?” Adam asked.

“Yes, my brother Matteo is from the Donovan pack. He has some influence there.”

“Oh, I see.” Adam responded.

“By the way, how do we reach out to you?”

“In Galahad clan. You just have to find the chance. I'll leave the packhouse every red moon so you can find me by that time.” I responded.

Adam sighed. “It really is so glad to see you again, but the jewels you gave are not enough to build a pack house.”

“I'll send you more when you come to Galahad clan. But please, be very careful and don't put your life in harm's way. Walk in groups so you won't be targeted.”

“Okay, thank you Alpha.”

“You should get going now.” I said.

“Yes,” 

Adam turned away while Penelope hesitated and turned towards me. 

“Can I hug you?”

I cracked a smile because I genuinely didn't expect her to ask that.

“Sure, Penelope…”

She into my arms and hugged me tightly, genuinely scaring me.

“Penelope…” I rubbed her back.

Then she pulled away.

“You must stay strong, Alpha.”

I smiled at her and nodded, “Sure.”

“Come on, Penelope.” Adam nudged her.

Penelope kept looking at me until Adam pulled her along with him and they left.

I sighed. Who would have thought that the rogues who were attacking Crystal pack were my old friends. From now, I needed to be more careful.

I went back into the pack and was stunned to see the Luna of Crystal pack. She looked gorgeous. She seemed to have changed into a purple royal dress which looked extremely pleasant to see.

“Hello,”

“You're back.” She smiled at me. “How did you enjoy the pond?”

“It was wonderful. Don't you see that I'm glowing already?” 

I leaned closer for her to take a look and she giggled loudly.

“Oh, you're so funny, Emily.” She held back a laugh but she still seemed so beautiful doing it. Her husband was such a lucky man.

“The maids have prepared food for you. Please come in and eat with me.”

“You know I feel a bit guilty. Matteo and your husband are probably busy doing stressful things while we go to eat.”

“Oh, don't be ridiculous. My husband wouldn't mind at all. Plus your husband Matteo seem more hands on and excited to take on new tasks. If he wants to then just let him.”

“Right.” I responded.

She gently grabbed my hand and we walked with each other slowly to the dinning room containing extravagant meals. The dinning room was a little more simplistic and personified. It looked more homely and I loved it.

“Come on,”

She gestured for me to sit down and I did. 

The first meal on the table was full chicken. 

“It looks good,” i said and she nodded.

“Have a try.”

I cut open the chicken wings and took a bite. It was soft and peppery. 

“Hmm, not bad. I like that it's spicy.”

“You do? Are you sure you can handle your spice?”

“Yes I can handle my spice very well. How about you?” I asked well.

“Well, not bad. My tolerance levels are pretty high.” 

I smiled.

“The next dish here is some boiled potatoes and lentils.”

I groaned. “Potatoes are good but too sweet, I prefer to skip it.”

“Oh?” She leaned forward. “Okay.”

She pulled back. “And the next meal is some fish sticks, rice and soup.”

She placed the dishes in front of me and I took them and had a taste.

“Hmm, they taste really well.”

I continued eating and then the Luna of the crystal pack joined me. 

“Oh, I'm full.” I said after I cleared the table.

She chuckled. “I'm glad you enjoyed it.”

Then all of a sudden, the dinning room opened revealing a maid.

“Luna,” she bowed.

“And what are you doing here? Don't you see that I'm with my guest?!” The Luna of Crystal pack boomed. She looked incredibly annoyed to have our moment interupted by the maid.

“Please forgive me, Luna. It's just, the Alpha asked of you.”

“Oh, he did?” The Luna of Crystal's pack eyes softened.

“Yes, Luna. He's in the garden with his guest.”

“Okay,” She responded and waved the maid off, then she turned to me.

“Oh, before we go. Would you like to use the restroom?”

I smiled at her. “Yes please.”

“Then let's go.”

The Luna of Crystal pack led me to the latrine and I relieved myself. When I finally got out, she was there waiting for me. I was extremely grateful that the Luna of the crystal pack was a girl's girl. It made me feel more grateful for her.

“Come on, let's go.” 

Together we went to the garden and saw her husband and Matteo waiting.

“What took you so long?” The Alpha of Crystal pack asked.

“Why do you mean? We came right after the maid informed us of your presence.”

“Okay. Anyway, we're back.”

“What's the update? Have you found a clue about the rogue wolves yet?” I asked.

Matteo looked at me. “My warriors have just arrived. I would ask you to come with me to eliminate the werewolves.”

“Okay, but is there a specific reason you're asking me to come with you?”

“For experience. It's good for you too.”

“My Luna will be coming with us too,” the Alpha of Crystal pack said.

“But what about the pack?”

“It's in good hands. My wife is a fighter, I would need her to protect me during combat.”

I looked at the Luna of Crystal pack. “I would like to see you in action, Luna.”

We stepped out of the gate and I saw Fayne who looked at me with concern. Behind him was a group of warriors wolves who looked strong and firm. They all bowed and howled upon our appearance.
