James's POV
"Alpha James, why did you invite me to meet in the forest?" Agnez's voice came, and she seemed to smile widely, thinking I wanted to seduce her.
"There's something I want to talk about. The forest is the best place where no one can hear us," Agnez flashed a coy smile, her hand reaching towards her chest and undoing one of the tight buttons on her shirt.
"Wherever it is, as long as I'm with you, I don't think it's a big problem, Alpha James," Agnez moved closer to me and boldly wrapped her arms around my neck. "Whenever you're ready, Alpha James."
"What do you mean, Agnez?" I pushed her away. "Do you think I called you here to have sex? Didn't you pay attention to what I said earlier?"
Agnez chuckled, disregarding my rejection. Instead, she unbuttoned more of her tight shirt. I could see her ample cleavage about to spill out.
"She's crazy. I think she really believes you want to sleep with her."
"I don't know, Diz. I made a mistake choosing an omega like her for a one-night stand.
"That's why I always opposed you getting involved with women like Agnez! She's even worse than Aimee. If you think about it, you'd be better off staying with Aimee to avoid these crazy women's traps!"
Diz brought up Aimee again, which annoyed me. Somehow, he was now more supportive of me keeping Aimee and making her my real Luna.
From the beginning, he supported whoever became my mate, but recently, he has insisted that I treat Aimee better.
"Come on, Alpha James. Don't be so uptight. No one is watching us here. I have always dreamed of making love in nature with the right person. You're the best choice! Don't be stiff, I know you desire this body."
Confidently, Agnez stepped closer to me again. But before she could reach me, I halted her steps. "Why did you tell Aimee everything you heard this morning?"
"What? I didn't say anything to Aimee, Alpha James. What were you talking about this morning? You know, we were so wild that we lost ourselves!"
"You're lying, Agnez. Do you think I don't remember when you deliberately got me drunk? Maybe you succeeded in trapping me with the stupid drinks you prepared, but that doesn't mean I don't know your intentions. Did you forget that I am an Alpha?"
Agnez covered her face with one hand, shook her head, and said, "Clearly, it's all a misunderstanding, Alpha James. I never did what you're accusing me of. Besides, you're the one who invited me to drink alcohol. I never trapped you with any drinks like you mentioned just now."
I was sick of these crazy women who liked to lie like Agnez. What were they thinking? Why did they often act strangely and do irrational things to get my attention?
I had repeatedly made it clear that Emilia was the only one in my heart. Didn't they understand how much I loved Emilia? Couldn't they think that I only wanted to have fun with them in bed?
"Your question is ridiculous, James. You're an Alpha, who wouldn't want to be in the position of being your Luna? Besides, you haven't declared Aimee as your mate."
"That will never happen, are you crazy? I will not announce Aimee as my mate. Besides, dealing with women like Agnez is just a matter of resisting them. No matter how hard they push and try to subdue me to be with them."
"It's up to you. I hope you don't complain when they become even crazier and more brutal in their pursuit of you! Remember, this is the second attempt by your members to trap you and be with them!"
Agnez continued to stare at me with her partially exposed clothes. She remained nonchalant, folding her hands in front of her chest. It was my first time encountering an omega as bold as Agnez.
Even Riana, one of the best members of this pack, still respected me despite being cornered for all her mistakes.
"I don't want to waste any more time. Whatever your reasons and plans are, rest assured that you won't be able to dominate me, Agnez. Remember, I only use you to satisfy my desires, nothing more. Don't dream of becoming my Luna. Even if the Moon Goddess gave you a chance to be my mate, I would clearly reject you, Agnez."
Agnez took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Fine, I'll admit my mistake. I did trap you with a concoction I prepared so that you would get drunk and reveal all your secrets. I did it because I've been interested in you for a long time, Alpha James! For me, your solitude and the opportunity that came when you asked me to accompany you are things I can't just let go of! It's been every woman's dream to become your Luna."
"Okay, the most important thing now is admitting your mistake. So, what you did was quite severe, and I can't tolerate any actions deliberately aimed at manipulating me. I'm sure your concoction is some magic potion, just like what Riana did yesterday, right?"
Agnez's eyes started to well up with tears. She shook her head and said, "No, Alpha James. It was just a potion from an old book I found in the storage. I followed the instructions that mentioned a potion to make someone drunk. I didn't use magic or anything like that."
"Whatever, the point is that whatever was used to make me submit to you was a big mistake. So, Agnez, I'm sorry, but you have to leave this pack. My decision is final. This is a lesson for you to know your place. You're just an omega, and if an Alpha doesn't want you, never force yourself to become his Luna."
Agnez's scream echoed through the forest as she slumped to the ground, crying. "Please, don't do this, Alpha James. I have nowhere else to go except this pack! I promise I won't make the same mistake again. Forgive me, Alpha James."
I approached her, but her tear-filled face didn't stir any pity within me. I shook my head and said, "These are the consequences you have to face, Agnez. Accept them."
As I walked away, Agnez's cries grew louder. The regret that dwelled within her should have been used from the beginning, but now it was too late.
