Chapter 36

Alexander's

POV

Hailey and Emma both stared at me shocked. Both of them are for entirely different reasons. Emma because I defended her, and Hailey because I don't normally speak to her the way I did. I had to. We have told her severally not to treat Emma like a maid anymore,

but she just never listens, and it was beginning to piss me off.

"Go on," I urge Emma, who stood frozen in shock like a statue. She snaps out of whatever she was thinking and dashed towards a room. But she thinks of something and turns back.

"Which room am I staying in?" she asked nervously, glancing at Hailey. I don't why she's still so scared of Hailey. She won't be able to touch her anymore, not when I'm here. "You can pick any room of your choice," I replied. She ran towards a room and closed the door.

"Did you just do that? In front of her?" Hailey asked in disbelief.

"Do what?" I replied.

"Julian, Philip, look what your brother is doing. Say something," she whines.

"What did he do?" they both reply. She stares at the three of us unbelievably before crossing her arms in front of her with a sulky expression.

My phone suddenly dings, signaling a message. I read the message carefully.

"Guys, we need to head downstairs in thirty minutes," I relay the message I saw on my phone to them. Their phones also made a ding sound.

"You guys got the message too?" I asked.

"Yeah," Philip and Julian replied, focusing on their racing game. Hailey is still sulky.

"Then why are you still sitting? Shouldn't you go get ready?" I inquired, but they did not pay heed to me. I sighed, running my hand through my hair and willing myself to be calm.

"Do you guys know where we are? We are in an entirely new pack, and here we have to represent Dad well. How do you think they will think of Dad here if we are not responsible? You guys would never want to be at the receiving end of Dad's anger. Look," I said, turning my cheeks towards them. "My cheek still stings from that slap,"

They froze and I internally smirked. I just know the right way to make them listen.

"Hey, Philip, did you pack my black shoes? I want to wear them today," Julian asked, hurriedly standing up.

"I don't know if I did, but let's go check," Philip replied. Both of them hurried out of the room.

"Bye, see you later," they both chimed, slamming the door behind them. They are terrified of our father's wrath. He can be ruthless. I chuckle at them. I turned around to leave when I noticed Hailey did not budge from her seat. "Why are you still here?" I asked her.

"Don't you have something to apologize for?" she glared at me.

"Why would I apologize when I did not do or say anything wrong," I replied, dipping my hands into my pocket and leaning on the wall. She scoffed, glaring at me angrily.

"You did nothing wrong? When you blatantly insulted me in front of that...that...th...," she trailed when I gave a warning look not to dare call Emma names.

"Whatever she is. You have really changed, can't you see that?" she asked, standing up and walking towards me.

"How so?" I asked, staring at her.

"We used to have so much fun together in the past. Don't you miss the good old days? Don't you miss me?" she said, trying to touch my arm. I gently remove her hand from my arm.

"You just said it. That was all in the past, this is the present now, and we can't be together anymore. You should leave and get dressed now, you would not want to be late and leave a bad impression," I replied, heading straight to the kitchen. I opened the fridge to get a gla*s of juice when I heard the door be slammed shut. I searched around for food to prepare, but only found noodles.

I prepared it and went to knock on Emma's door to wake her up. I knocked severally, but she didn't hear me, so I slowly turned the doorknob and it opened. She was laying on the bed and sleeping peacefully. I hate to disrupt her sleep, but I do not have a choice. She has to wake up and get ready. I also noticed she didn't eat anything on the airplane.

"Emma," I called out softly. She grumbled incoherently and rolled over on her other side. I smiled at her and walked over to the other side of the bed.

"Emma," I called out again, but louder this time and close to her ear. She sprang up from her bed, suddenly staring at me in a daze.

"Get ready and come down, I made some food," I said to her and left her room.

I went to take a shower and also get ready. I came out of my room and met her already in the kitchen.

"It was getting cold, so I heated it up again in the microwave," she explains, passing me a plate.

"Thank you," I mumble.

"I should be thanking you for cooking," she replied, and we ate in silence.

"We have to go now," I said to her after we both finished eating. I took a look at my watch, and we were running late.

"Downstairs, the Alpha of this pack sent for all of us. Didn't you get the text?" I asked, looking surprised.

"I don't have a cell phone," she answers. That explains it. I should have known, I have never seen her with a cell phone before.

"We should get going," I said, walking towards the door.

"Do I look okay? Or should I change really quickly? I didn't know we were going out. I thought I was going to stay indoors," she said, looking self-conscious.

"You look pretty. You don't need to change your clothes," I replied and she blushed. I head out and she follows closely behind me.

"Alex, Emma," Julian called out and they both hurried towards us.

"Why aren't you there yet?" I asked with a frown.

"Why aren't you there?" Julian inquired.

"I was doing a very important thing," I replied.

"We too," they both answer.

I know arguing with them won't lead anywhere. It will only make us get late.

I shook my head and walked towards where we were asked to meet. Everywhere turned quiet immediately we walked in. The Alpha seemed to have finished his speech before we arrived. The Alpha called us happily.

"If it isn't the Alpha's sons. I hope you boys are comfortable here. Are you okay with everything?" he asked. Everyone turned silent, staring at us. We always get this type of special treatment, so they can get our father to be in a special relationship with them. "We are completely comfortable here. Thank you for your hospitality," I replied.

"It's nothing. We will all be having a light dinner together with the students from this pack.," he said.

"Okay," we all agreed. I didn't realize it had gotten to the time for dinner.

We all troop into the large dining area. Lots of people were present, but they all paused to see us properly. The Alpha explained to them the reason we were there. They all introduced themselves to us. Emma has stopped following me since she saw her friend. We all sit and eat among everyone else. After we finished eating, the Alpha said to us.

"You all can retire to your room now, you must be tired from your long journey," he said, and we all nodded.

"Emma, are you not coming?" I asked when I noticed that she was not following me. She stood with her best friend.

"No, I will be back later. I just want to look around," she replied, and I nodded in agreement.

I headed for my room and collapsed on my bed. I took off my clothes and slept for a while. I heard the front door open, and it was past 10. I must have slept for a very long time. I walked out without bothering to put my clothes back on.

"You are back. What took you so long?" I asked. She stared at me dumbfounded, her eyes trailing all over my body.

"What took you so long?" I repeated.

"Y...you are not wearing any clothes," she stutters nervously, quickly turning her back to me.
