Both Alpha and Beta wants me !

EMMA

"Do you know you're really beautiful?" Mason complimented, and I blushed. "Thank you so much. Hearing it from someone as handsome as you definitely boosts my ego," I replied with a smile.

"Would you like to meet me on the terrace tonight?" he asked, his tone suddenly serious, and I wasn’t expecting that at all. Things were moving so fast.

"I didn’t realize wolves were so forward," I teased, and he smirked.

"We wolves are open with our feelings. We don’t waste time like humans. You should learn that because you’re not exactly human either," he whispered in my ear, sending goosebumps down my spine.

"Well, teach me tonight," I said, flashing him a smile.

"And wait," he added. "Why do you wear clothes like that? Don’t you think they don’t really suit you? Don’t get me wrong, but I saw you at the mating ceremony, and you have curves that are to die for. Why hide them?" His words could have felt creepy coming from someone else, but with him, it didn’t.

"I have my reasons," I said, unsure if I could reveal what Alpha Elijah had done to me.

"Would you mind if I send a beautiful dress to your room?" he asked, his charm undeniable.

"Why would I mind a handsome man sending me a dress?" I flirted back, and we both shared a light laugh. He was such a sweet guy, and maybe it was time to focus on my own love life, rather than the mess with Alpha Elijah and Violet.

I was bored, with nothing to do in my room. I needed to get my phone back from Elijah. I figured I’d talk to him calmly, get the phone, and then say goodbye. That was the plan—quick and easy.

I asked Lily to take me to Elijah's office, but she hesitated. "I can’t go any further, we belong to a lower rank," she said before leaving me outside his office.

I knocked on the door, but there was no response—just muffled voices. Curiosity got the best of me, so I entered, only to instantly regret it.

Elijah was in the middle of making out with a woman who wasn’t Violet. I froze for a second, shocked by the scene. Elijah, dressed in his black suit, looked as dangerous and attractive as ever. The woman in his arms was scantily dressed, and the sight made me feel sick.

If I told Violet about this, she'd never believe me, and it would break her heart. I wasn’t about to stick around for their private moment, so I quickly turned to leave.

"Where do you think you're going?" Elijah's voice made me freeze. My heart skipped a beat, and I closed my eyes, mentally preparing myself.

"Turn around now," he ordered. I did, knowing better than to challenge him again after the last time.

The woman wiped her lips, adjusted her dress, and left the room, ignoring me completely as if I wasn’t even there. Elijah sat back in his chair, relaxed and smug, his presence undeniably commanding.

"Do you need more time to look at me, or are you going to say what you came for?" he asked, his deep voice pulling me out of my thoughts. What was wrong with me? Why was I staring at him like that?

"I’m here to get my phone," I said, trying to focus.

"And why would I give it to you?" he asked, smirking, as expected.

"Please, Alpha Elijah," I said, trying to be sweet. Let’s see if that worked.

He eyed me for a moment before opening his drawer and placing my phone on the desk. It was clear now—if I rebelled, he'd make me suffer. But if I played along, he’d grant my requests.

I walked toward the desk to grab my phone, but before I could reach it, his hand landed on mine.

"Go out for dinner with me," he said, catching me off guard.

"I don’t understand," I replied, confused.

"I’m only asking to break the curse. We need to spend time together," he said, but his tone made me question whether he was being truthful or not.

"How long will it take to break the curse? Is there a way I can go home before completing the year?" I asked, desperate to know more.

I asked him, and he glared at me. “I want to go back to my normal life. I don’t think this wolf life is for me,” I said, trying to pull my hand away from his, but his grip was too strong for my liking.

“Why are you denying your true self?” he asked, his gaze genuine.

“The mate bond is weakening Violet; she can’t even see that you’re cheating on her. I don’t want this. I want someone who’s loyal to me,” I said. He avoided my gaze.

“Violet knew what I was like from the moment we met. It's true, I have flings, but Violet is the only woman carrying my pup. She’s the highest-ranking woman in the pack—she gives an order, and the world falls at her feet.”

I chuckled. “Not for me,” I replied, pulling my hand back from his. I grabbed my phone and turned to leave his office.

“The dinner is at 11 o’clock. I’ll be in your room to take you,” he said.

“Are you serious?” I turned back to ask him.

“I’ve never been more serious. Don’t waste my time—go, before I change my mind about giving you your phone back,” he replied. I quickly left his office.

At Night

I was staring out the window, lost in the darkness. It was unlike anything I had ever seen. I was so absorbed in it when there was a knock on the door. I opened it to find Lily standing there with a dress in her hands, carefully packed.

“Alpha sent this for you,” she said, placing it on the bed. I opened the packet to find a stunning red dress, studded with emeralds along the hem. It was the most beautiful dress I had ever seen. I was surprised—it was nothing like the loose dresses Alpha had sent before. This one hugged my curves and stopped just above my knees.

I was admiring the dress when there was another knock. I opened the door to find a maid I didn’t recognize.

“Beta Mason sent this dress for you,” she said, handing me a shimmering blue dress before leaving.

I stood there, confused. Now, what was I supposed to do?
