Emily’s p. o. v
“Oh I get it, weren’t you that weak human girl our alpha was attending to yesterday out of pity?” She asked between laughter as the ladies behind me joined in.
So this was why they had refused to help me. They sided with Naomi.
If only they knew what kind of person they were facing. I was never the type to be easily fazed by some lame bullying.
“Yes, I am that human who was being attended to. But it wasn’t out of pity, you dumb bitch. It was out of love and care because I am his fucking mate and luna.” I answered strongly as the laughter immediately died.
Naomi lifted a brow then faced the other ladies seriously.
I was startled when they all burst out in loud laughter way more than the first time.
I frowned deeply and glared at Naomi.
“Omg, did she just say that she’s our Luna?” She asked between laughter while wiping off the forming tears that were threatening to fall.
“She really did.” One of the ladies answered while still laughing.
I glanced at the lady who had helped me and saw her shaking her head slowly.
She had a sad expression on her face and in her eyes, I could see the disbelief.
“Yeah, laugh as much as you can. But let me just warn you, your sweet voices will soon be filled with respect pretty damn so….”
“Enough you stupid human girl!” Naomi growled on top of her voice cutting me off.
The laughter instantly died.
“I have seen the likes of you before. The poor, little, good girl that’s waiting for the alpha to notice her and fuck her all in the name of being his mate. Although I should admit, never before was there one bold enough to claim their foolish fantasizes out loud, and much worse, in front of my fucking face.” She spat seriously.
I kept quiet for a few seconds then laughed softly.
“I can’t decide whether you are playing dumb, stupid, or illiterate. Because I just told you I was his mate, I wasn’t claiming shit for your amusement.” I said as her eyes began to slowly switch between her usual eye color and a shade of golden yellow.
She glanced at the ladies behind me and nodded. I was about to turn when I was grabbed on both sides of my arms.
“What the hell are you doing!” I yelled on top of my voice as I struggled to pull my arms away but their grip on me just tightened, making me flinch in pain.
They were strong, both of the ladies holding me.
“Naomi please have mercy on her. Just look at her, she’s just a stupid human girl with no wolf to stand and speak for her. Moreover, you know very well how every new lady in this pack wants alpha Cole for themselves, and how naive they are to our pack rules. You will end up killing her if you chose to demonstrate your full anger.” The lady that had helped me said in a respectful tone.
“Cecilia, how many times will you try and protect such trash?. I get that you once had a human step-sister who passed away and that your heart easily warms up for those that are near her age mate. But you should always remember that everyone has to learn a lesson, one way or another when they dare to disrespect me.” She said in a strong voice that sounded unusual.
“And how many times should I say and prove to every useless new girl that Cole is mine and mine alone?” She asked as I furiously tried to break free again but failed terribly.
I was way out of my head to either fear any of them, nor stand back. How dare she put a claim on my man.
I took in a deep breath then looked at the lady holding my left hand angrily.
“I said, let go damn it,” I commanded as she frowned then slowly let go of my hand surprising me and everyone else around.
“What the hell are you doing you, Moran!” Naomi exclaimed as the woman looked at her with a confused expression.
“I… I don’t know, I’m sorry Naomi but…., When she ordered me, I just couldn’t hold on to her hand. It’s like a force that was making me sub….”
“Shut your damn mouth you imbecile, I now get it. Since she must have claimed to be the alpha’s mate, you are now siding with her blindly.” She spat as the lady quickly bowed her head low and shook it.
“No Naomi, I would never side with a human nor any she-wolf besides you. We all know that you are the alpha’s favorite mistress and the rightful Luna to be.” She answered as I felt something in me snap.
I pushed the other lady away from me and dashed to Naomi, grabbing her hair and pulling it with every bit of strength I had. I was going to kill the dumb bitch for putting a claim on my man!.
She growled loudly then pushed me away. I flew in mid-air and landed on the hard cold ground with a loud cry. My arm was badly aching and the side of my stomach.
Naomi’s eyes were now a pure golden yellow and her fingers had sharp craws.
“You dare lay a hand on me!.” She growled furiously as she approached me.
I tried to move back but the pain was getting intense.
“Cole, I think I’m about to be killed,” I said in my head sadly as tears filled my eyes.
“She is going to kill me,” I whispered the words out.
“Damn right I am.” She spat then charged at me.
I instantly lifted my hands and covered my face to protect myself.
I tensed when I heard a scary growl, that was loud enough to slightly shake the ground. Then Naomi’s loud panicked cry came after.
I quickly dropped my hands and found Cole standing in front of me with his back towards me. His shoulders were slightly shifting up and down.
I swallowed hard and slowly moved to the side, only to see Naomi on her knees with deep crawl cuts on her throat. She was badly bleeding and struggling to breathe.
I lowered my gaze to Cole’s hand and notice the dripping blood from his claws.
He lifted his hand in the air and was about to strike again.
“No!” I screamed on top of my voice as he stilled his movements.
“Don’t kill her, please.” I begged in fear.
Never in my whole life had I ever experienced such a thing. Seeing how he was going to mercilessly kill her shocked the living hell out of me and made me so scared at the same time. The man in front of me wasn’t anything like the man I knew.
