Emma's

POV

Okay? What is going on here?

"Julian, you of all people know me. Do you really think I did all that Alex is accusing me of? Why would I do something like that?" Hailey asks, standing beside Julian and gazing at him intently. My elbow still hurts after hitting it on the table while trying to save myself from having a broken nose when Hailey forcefully pushed my chair.

"Attention, supremacy, because you think everyone else is beneath you, and you can treat them condescendingly," Julian replied. She gasps in shock. "Julian," she whispered.

"It's true, Hailey and someone has to say it. You and I know Alex isn't accusing you of anything falsely, you did it, but you just won't admit it," he said to her.

Her face paled. She glares at me angrily.

"What you did yesterday was way out of line. You spilled the food all over your dress, but you blamed Emma for it," Philip mutters.

"No, I didn't. She really spilled the food on me on purpose because she hates me. Believe me," she said sorrowfully. You would think I really did spill the food on her.

"We checked the security footage," Alexander deadpans.

"W...what?" she stutters nervously.

"Did you think that they would not have security footage at such a party? Did you know that the Alpha of prominent packs was in attendance yesterday? I'm sure you were well aware that was why you did what you did. You wanted them all to have a bad first impression of her so that when we do introduce her to them later on as our mate, they don't approve," Philip responds.

I didn't even think that far. Hailey must have a very calculative brain to be able to come up with such a full proof plan.

"It must be a glitch in the system or something," she answered confidently.

"So the glitch made you spill food on yourself and then blame Emma for it," Julian replied.

"Well, yeah. Are you really sure the footage was not tampered with?" she asked.

"Hailey please!" Julian yelled, pushing his plate away. "You've been caught in the act and you are still lying. Why can't you just stop and own your s**t?" Julian inquired, standing up to face her. "Julian, I'm sorry...,"

"No, you should be apologizing to the person you wronged, not me or my brothers," he said, his face giving away no emotion at all.

"To her? You must be kidding me. Do you want me to apologize for this? Never! Not even in your wildest dreams. I would rather shave my head bald," she utters bitterly, giving me a condescending look.

Wow. That was harsh. We all know how Hailey absolutely loves her hair. If she decides to shave it off and then apologize to me, she must really hate my guts. More than I imagined.

"Fine then, if you can't apologize, then we are done here. You have been cut off from our lives for good. The only relationship we have left now is strictly professional. Future Alphas and our beta," Alexander replied.

My head whips towards him so fast, I thought it might roll off. They are cutting Hailey off? For good? If my face showed my shocked state, Hailey's was much worse. She had an ugly expression on her face. The most ugly and menacing one I've ever seen. "You can't do that to me. We've been friends for more than fifteen years. It has always been the four of us together. You are going to sever ties with me and everything we had all for her?" she mutters incredulously.

"That's the problem with you, Hailey, you are still living in the past. Move on! You don't expect us to be as close as before. We have a mate now, and it's not fair on her," Julian explained. She bursts into tears.

"I can't believe you boys are leaving me for her after all we shared, don't you love me anymore?" she cried pitifully.

This scene is a little satisfying to watch. Maybe a lot more satisfying than I care to admit. My heart is literally jumping for joy. Does that make me a bad person? Being happy over someone else's misery. Even if, well, that person is Hailey. "What we shared is now in the past. You don't expect us to maintain our relationship with you even after finding our mate," Julian said.

"Here we go again with the emotional blackmail. Nobody hates you. We care for you as our childhood friend. We are only telling you the truth, if you don't want to get along with Emma, then we can't be with you either," Philip said. Hailey sniffled, sobbing hard. Her make-up is all smudged and her face is red from crying so much.

"You all are making a big mistake. You will regret this and as usual, you will realize your mistake and come running back to me," she said and ran out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

Julian sighed, sitting back down.

"That went well," Philip mutters sarcastically.

"It was high time someone spoke to her. She was starting to get too comfortable," Alexander replied.

"The pancakes have gotten cold," Philip said, pushing his plate away.

"Emma, are you okay?" Julian asked, staring at me. I was just staring blankly at them, not knowing how to respond to what just happened.

"You boys severed ties with Hailey for me?" I asked.

"Of course. We promised you yesterday that as long as you want to be with us, you won't have to worry about anything. We will take care of all the hurdles in our path. It had to start with Hailey," Alexander explained. "But why? You've been friends for fifteen years," I said. As satisfying as that was, I would not want them to regret anything later.

"That we've been friends for a long time does not mean we will overlook all her excesses. You are our mate now, and you are way more important than her. You come first and if she can't respect that, it means we were never truly friends," Julian said with a smile. "Excuse me, I have to take this," he said, picking up his phone that was ringing and headed for the balcony.

I have no lota of doubt left in me now. What they just did proves how much they truly care for me. And I am happy and grateful. I can't wish for anything more.

"Did you really check the security footage?" I asked curiously. They followed me out immediately after I left. When did they find the time to take a look at the footage?

"Actually, we didn't," Philip said with a smile.

"You didn't? But Alex said...,"

"I didn't check any footage. I knew Hailey was definitely going to flop if I mentioned that, and I was right," he replied.

So, they tricked her into confessing, but even though she didn't confess, she made a mistake, and they were quick to catch onto it.

I definitely didn't make a mistake in giving myself to them last night. Last night. I didn't have enough time to think about it properly when I woke up this morning. It was pure bliss. I never knew my body could feel so much pleasure. It had hurt at first, but after some time, the pain faded away.

I still feel a dull ache between my thighs, but I'm happy. I'm happy everything that happened, happened.

"Whoa!" Philip exclaimed, shielding his face from my view.

"Is something wrong?" I asked curiously.

"You are glowing so much that my eyes can't bear to take it," he replied, and I chuckled.

Alexander started to clear the dishes. I stood to help him out.

"No, not when I'm here. Sit back and relax," Philip said, taking the plate from me and walking towards the kitchen.

"You heard him. You aren't allowed to touch anything," Alexander added. I smiled. I wonder what Julian is still doing.

I walked towards the balcony. I've actually never been out here before, but the scenery is amazing. The air smelled crisp and clean until I caught a whiff of smoke. Where is the smoke coming from? Is something burning? I followed the scent until I caught sight of Julian lounging on a chair and taking a drag out of his cigarette casually.

I stared at him, surprised. I didn't know he smokes. He peers at me curiously.

"What are you doing out here?" he asked. I wanted to speak, but I started to cough vehemently due to the smoke.

"s**t! Are you okay?" he asked quickly, dumping the cigarette on the ashtray.

"I'm fine. Are you okay, though?" I asked. I heard he was the closest to Hailey, perhaps he's regretting it now.

"Why wouldn't I be?" he replied.

"Aren't you relieving your stress by smoking out here alone?" I asked. He looked confused for a while before his eyes widened in realization. His phone suddenly rings.

"Excuse me," he said, picking up the call. He listened for a while.

"Mum, calm down. I can't understand what you are saying," he said and putting the phone on speaker scrolling through it. His face pales.

"How the hell did this get out?" I heard his mum ask worriedly.
