James's POV
I can't believe she actually left me.
Why did she come back? What items did she leave where we first met? This lake, is there something about us that she brought?
Did she leave because she saw me coming with Aimee?
Shit.
I can't do anything, Emilia's gone. That was supposed to be my chance to be able to bring her back into my life. Maybe my way of making her angry was really wrong. I know, I'm not supposed to be saying about making her jealous.
Aimee shouldn't have come with me.
"Keep talking to yourself, it's all over and in vain. You really are a weak Alpha in love. You should remember your reputation as a leader of a large pack who is feared by many, tell me which clans and packs are not afraid of you, James? And you wasted it all just because of love."
I'm sick of Diz, he's the most annoying and talkative wolf. If possible, maybe I should just replace my wolf.
But, one thing that bothers my brain is the sentence left by Emilia. She said she could come back to me but now wasn't the time. That means there's still a chance for her to come back to my life, right?
"Don't tell me you're still going to marry Aimee? You already know the answer from Emilia, she's not even jealous seeing you two together. Isn't that a waste, James? Forget Emilia and rejected Aimee, find your new partner!"
"No, Diz. I'll stick to Emilia's word, it's the one thing I have to follow. She will still come back. I would pick Aimee, but without a sign. I don't want to make her my Luna."
"Then for what? In that case, you'd better find other beauties at your level to serve as distractions. Come on, James, your brain is totally dead with Emilia's gone. You're not as bad as this!"
"I don't know, Diz! I really don't even know what I want now! I just want not to turn to another woman, keeping Aimee as my mate will prevent me from meeting a new mate who can make me forget Emilia. Also, making him my partner now can make me vent this frustration and disappointment. She is nothing more than my puppet, a weak, helpless puppet!"
The rumbling in the sky made me realize that it would rain soon. I don't want to get caught in the rain with Aimee, maybe she will feel special and have romantic moments with me.
I don't want to. I can read the mind of a woman like Aimee.
"Aimee, you don't need to think about what you heard from Emilia earlier. That's not true, don't get big and think you're my mate! Also, from this second you are already my wife, but you are not my Luna. You're just a woman who accompanies me when I need something, I don't know what to call you, wife, mate, and luna are not the right words."
Well, Aimee didn't have any expression. She just stared at me silently with teary eyes. Does she want to cry? Just cry, I don't care.
"Hold my hand, let's go back now."
I held out my hand in front of her, Aimee still didn't say a word. However, she didn't become a statue and put her hand on top of mine.
It rained right after we left the place. I glanced at Aimee, she still gave the same expression. What is she thinking?
Was she trapped in her own thoughts because of what Emilia said earlier? I'm sorry if she really thinks she is my Luna, it's a big mistake.

"Alpha James, may I say something?"
I turned to Aimee then answered, "What?"
"I don't think… I can follow what you have planned. I'm sorry, but I'm not the right person for you to make as a companion. I hope you understand."
What? Someone like Aimee dares to reject my plan? Who does she think she is?
"Just let you know, this is the right time for you to reject her. She has already paved the way for you, what do you plan to do with this weak woman?"
"Shut up, Diz!"
"If you want to become a rogue and die in that forest, then I think your choice now is the right path."
"A-alright, Alpha James, I'm sorry I said that."
Aimee answered my sentence with a trembling voice, tears streaming down her face. She walked to her little hut with unsteady steps.
Cry even if she has to cry all night, I don't care. She should also prepare himself so that she can take part in this game that has already started.
"Okay, now what's your plan? Are you going to travel somewhere else alone without your luna? Or will you bring Aimee?"
"Of course I will bring Aimee, she is my bait for Emilia to come back. I want Emilia to know I'm taking care of our relationship. I have a doll now that I can use when I'm upset. This is fun, Diz. Trust me, my choice is not wrong. My love is only for Emilia, no other woman can have it."
"I hope the Moon Goddess doesn't give you punishment."
"Why? Because I'm not with my mate? Aimee is my mate, shouldn't my life be much better and easier after this? Or maybe The Moon Goddess wouldn't care for one useless werewolf like Aimee, Diz."
There's nothing funnier than an argument between me and my wolf, Diz. No one will be able to change my feelings and love.
Even all the women currently glaring at me wildly along the corridors of the mansion wouldn't be able to take Emilia's place either.
"Alpha James is getting handsome?!"
"I know, he's been separated from the annoying Emilia and is now turning cooler!"
"I wish my mate was him! I'm crazy about him!"
All those whispers coming to my ears, all these women getting crazier every day after my separation from Emilia.
"Hey, you three, come here, come with me."
I stopped walking and pointed at my three female members and they seemed to be smiling happily, while the others felt jealous. Yes, I am a person who is good at taking advantage of opportunities, maybe I should have fun with them first.
After all, this is their wish. Touched by a handsome Alpha that they couldn't get.
