Aimee's POV
It took me almost five hours to clean this big mansion. My body feels like it's going to break, I really want to lie down on this green and thick grass.
I don't know what Alpha James has done, the other three omegas who are also considered servants by all pack members haven't helped me at all. They even act cynical as if they hate me. Strange.
Usually, they always talk and friendly to me. Our fate is not too much different, they also often get unpleasant treatment because they are omega status and are considered weak. Even so, they are certainly capable of transforming themselves into a wolf, yeah, I'm definitely under their feet if sorted.
I've been imagining how my body feels touching the bed when James's voice echoes in my ear.
I turned to him, the cold man had arrived in front of me with an expression that never changed and his trademark sharp gaze.
"Change your clothes, we're leaving" James says, "Don't ask anything."
A clear enough order, I nodded and left him into my little hut.
If only I had enough courage to fight him… my body is so tired, I want to sleep. After all, it's too hot to go out. Didn't he see the sun shining so bright?
Or maybe… I should refuse it?
Yes! I should have had the courage to do that, maybe if I spoke nicely and gave him some sense of how hard this was all, he'd understand. I don't think he's that bad.
For the first time, I had courage beyond what I had been feeling. However, all of that disappeared when the door opened. The sharp gaze of a wolf sitting in front of the door made my guts shrink. I slammed the door and immediately rushed to change clothes.
The idea of rejecting Alpha James doesn't seem like such a good idea.

"You should have just one ability to be able to make me a little amazed by you. Even to change clothes you need almost half an hour, ironically nothing has changed about you. You and your green pants really look tacky."
I can only lower my head, even though I feel these pants are pretty good. I don't have many nice clothes, I'm not like the girls who bought trendy clothes by their mate.
"Hold my hand.?
A white hand with jutting veins stretched out in front of me. I looked up and found Alpha James raising an eyebrow at me.
"Hurry up, Aimee!" he snapped.
I immediately follow James's words and he takes me at a high speed.
My heart was pounding, this was the first time I touched her hands that were so cold and gentle. If only I could hold this hand tenderly and lovingly, surely everything would feel more beautiful.
We stopped at a very beautiful large lake. I have never seen this lake before, the water is crystal clear, it feels so inviting to anyone who sees it to dive immediately.
I didn't dare ask Alpha James, I didn't even dare to let go of his hand that was still holding mine. Whether he forgot or on purpose, I chose to remain silent and let all this happen.
"Where is she?" muttered Alpha James. Looks like someone is waiting for him.
"James, what are you doing here?"
A familiar woman voice came from behind us. James removes his hand from me and turns to the source of the sound. While I was still frozen motionless.
"Emilia, I came to see you."
My guess wasn't wrong, they were together in the mansion since I was sixteen, I saw them making out in every corner of the mansion. Several times when I was cleaning the mansion, they were making passionate love. It was a sight that really sickened me at that time.
"You still haven't erased me from your memory? Even my scent still lingers, an Alpha should be able to forget someone who isn't their mate quickly, right, Aimee?"
What? She called my name. I turned and saw Emilia smiling broadly while raising her eyebrows.
"So, you came here to formalize your relationship? I'm glad to see James finally acknowledged you as his mate. Congratulations Aimee, you will become a Luna."
I didn't move in the slightest, only the breeze that hit my face. I didn't hear wrong, I'm sure what Emilia said was a reality, not a dream. Emilia said that I was Alpha James's mate.
"I know you're jealous Emilia, but that doesn't mean you can spread fake news like that. Come back to me if you still want, I won't bring up the mistakes you've done. Leaving on purpose because of a man you think is far superior is one small thing I can forgive."
A clear sentence breaks all the strange feelings in me. That can't be happening, the message given by Emilia must have only been intended to make fun of me.
"Is it true? But you came with Aimee, your mate. You haven't rejected her yet, have you? Why did you bring her to meet me?"
Emilia throws her eyes at me, followed by an increasingly cynical Alpha James at me. Honestly, I really wanted to leave them both. I don't want to get caught up in their romance drama. Unfortunately, I didn't know where this was, I would have died in the forest if I had tried to go.
"I came with Aimee because I wanted to make you angry and jealous, I really wanted to marry her, but it wasn't because I loved her. I can never forget you, Emilia. Come back to me, we are great together, you know no one is my mate, you are my Luna, my fated mate. I beg you, Emilia…"
"I'm sorry, James. It's all over, there may be a time when I come back but not now. I came back just to pick up something here, I'll be right back west. So, see you when I see you, James.'
Emilia just stepped in front of Alpha James without giving hugs or kisses. She disappeared like the wind in her wolf form. Ah, what a sad farewell in my opinion.
I can see the tears of an Alpha James who is known to be very cold, rolling down his cheeks. No words came out of his mouth, between us now only the wind that carried the last of Emilia's scent.
