Emily's POV
"What are you doing here?" I panicked.
It was the man I had one night stand with. How did he find me here? All eyes were on him and that's because he was so handsome.
"What do you mean by what he is doing here?" Philip frowned.
"What would you like to have Sir?" Philip smiled at him.
"Americano please." He smiled, not taking his eyes off me.
"Okay, Emily got to work." Philip nudged me.
I sighed and did as I was told I went over to the handsome man and gave him his drink.
"Can we talk?" He held my hand.
"I'm busy." I removed his hands.
"I'll wait till you are done." He replied.
I went back to the counter and continued working hours passed and he was still there. I felt bad and went to refill his mug. He smiled at me and I went back.
When I was done with work I went to the restroom to change my uniform and prepared to head home.
"I don't want to see him." I murmured remembering the man who was waiting for me.
I thought to myself avoiding him was the best option if the pack members heard of my night with him I would get killed.
I took the back door and sped away. I hope he understands that I don't want to talk about it. He should just consider it as a one night stand, nothing else.
"Hi mom." I greeted her and headed to my room.
"Emily, can we talk?" She stood up from the couch.
I sighed and went to sit down. She smiled weakly and sat down but not close to me.
"I'm sorry." She started.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked her.
"Because you might lea-"
"I might leave?" I finished her statement.
"Did you have plans on telling me before?"
She shook her head. I stood up. This conversation wasn't helping me sort things with her,I didn't want to get angry at her.
"I'm sorry Emily." She sobbed.
"It hurts mom, it hurts knowing you are not who you claim to be. Who is my parents' mom?"
"I…don't…know." She cried
I went to her and cleaned her tears. I made her calm down before continuing.
"Even if I know who they are, Mom,I won't leave you." I assured her.
"I really don't know I adopted you from the foster home,I didn't mean for you to find out this way I'm sorry."
"It's fine mom, do you know which foster care you can still remember?"
"Yes."
"Then it's settled,you don't have to worry mom I won't leave you not now not ever I love you mom." I hugged her and we both cried for a while.
"I'll go make dinner." I stood up.
My mom and I sorted things and I felt relieved. We had dinner and chatted for a while. I told her about how Alpha Mayhem rejected me but I didn't tell her about the one night stand and the handsome man whom I forgot to get his name from. When I was done with the dishes I went to my room and decided to call Stella and apologize to her.
"Hi."
"Emily?" She answered.
"Yeah." I replied I didn't know where to start from.
"Are you okay,is everything fine?" She asked worriedly.
"Yes, everything is fine." I paused for a while.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry Stella for ignoring you and talking to you in that manner you've been nothing more than a friend to me I shouldn't have acted that way."
"I understand Emily,I would have acted way more than that. How are you feeling now?"
"I'm trying to be fine I guess."
"Do you forgive me?"
"Of course I forgive you." She replied.
Stella and I for a while. She told me how she had found her mate in the ceremony. I felt sad I shouldn't have reacted that way. I would have gotten to know her mate. She promised that she would introduce him to me.
We ended the call and I slept so I could wake up on time for my work schedule.
I woke up as I had planned, made breakfast, took my bath and rushed down to work. I called Stella also and briefed her about my day.
I was about to get to work when Charlotte and her friends double crossed me.
"Going somewhere." She blocked my path.
"Yes work,if you will excuse me?" I pushed her away.
She fell hard and I was surprised. I checked to see if someone had added force to it.
"Where do you think you're going?" Juliana held my bag.
"I don't have time for your tantrums this morning. Can you please excuse me? I don't want to be late."
"Wow wow wow." Charlotte stood up and laughed.
"You've got some nerves now, you even have the gut to talk back to me!" She poked my chest.
"She's Just jealous because you got the Luna position instead of her." Juliana fanned herself.
I looked at three friends and I marveled. I might be weak but I wasn't as childish as they are. Charlotte is strong, true but she wasn't mature and it is someone like this my mate. I meant Alpha Mayhem considers her worthy.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Windy snapped her fingers.
"Just thinking about how childish you are and how the dark moon pack will fall terribly if you get to be Luna."
"Watch your filthy mouth Emily!" Charlotte grabbed the collar of my cloth.
"You want to beat me, go ahead,tell me what other special powers you have than bullying power." I mocked.
Charlotte got furious and kicked me by the side. I groaned in pain and stood upright. I wasn't done talking.
"You might have my mate, but you know deep down that you can't have peace. You are bothered by my presence or should I say you feel Inferior to me." I said that and walked away.
Charlotte growled in anger and was about to launch an attack when a white tesla pulled over and someone stepped out.
"Al..ph..a May…hem?" I stuttered.
"Get in the car." He ordered.
