Katherine panics, what if Emily is in Jax’s pack? Seeing the amused look on Louis’s face, Katherine could tell that he thought the same. She has to stop him from going to the festival.
“You can’t go, remember?” she says hastily.
“Why not?”
“You have to host a party for the people tomorrow night, you promised them.”
Louis thinks for a while, “If I promised them something like this, why don’t you handle it while I attend the mask festival?”
Katherine’s mouth drops open, “But I’ve never handled a party before…”
“Maybe you should start making yourself more useful in the pack,” Louis says and walks off.
His mind links his better to come back to his office for a more important discussion. Soon after, Williams arrives and sits opposite Louis.
Louis shows him the invitation card, “I received this card from Moon Bearers pack.”
Williams reads the contents of the letter and smiles, “You should go Alpha. Emily might be there because I’ve not done any research in this pack.”
“That is what I think but Katherine opposes it, she says there should be a party hosted by me tomorrow night.”
Williams rolls his eyes, some silly promise that his Alpha made to the people a few weeks ago has now become important for Katherine. How ridiculous it sounds!
But Katherine can never be an obstacle to his Alpha’s decision. Louis would rather push her out of the way than listen to her, Williams loved that about him.
“Katherine will handle the party and you will escort me to that mask festival. If we go there and discover that Emily is not in Moon Bearers pack, I’ll have no other option than to stop searching for her,” Louis says.
“And if we find her?”
“Heaven knows that I will never let her go again once she is found.”
Louis is determined to keep his promise this time around. And so the next morning, they set off to Moon Bearers pack much to Katherine’s chagrin.
As soon as they arrive at Moon Bearers pack, Louis requests to see Jax which is granted. Jax is nervous about meeting Louis for the first time after his breakup with Emily, he prays that he does not spill any information about his cousin.
Emily went shopping. She was going to pick a dress for the festival tonight, Jax sets the meeting in a place where she will not have to be seen.
“Alpha Louis, it’s been a while,” Jax announces.
“Yes, I hope everything is in order here?”
“Yes, thank you for your concern.”
An eerie silence erupts as the duo stand beside each other. Louis is itching to talk about Emily while Jax is nervous about being asked about her. After a long stride of silence, Louis decides to speak first.
“I’m sure that you are aware of what transpired between Emily and me,” Louis says.
Hearing this, Jax becomes angry.
“Yeah, you humiliated her publicly and chose a stranger over her.”
“Jax, there is a huge misunderstanding here and I want to make things right.”
Jax is speechless, it is as if Louis dropped a bomb on his head. Louis wants to make things right which means that he wants Emily back, such a thing can not happen. Jax has already seen how emotionally unstable Emily was when she came to his pack and just when she has moved on with Conrad, Louis returns for forgiveness.
“You can’t make things right, Louis. You have to let go of her,” Jax tells him.
“But I can’t, I keep thinking about her for days. I’ve been on the search for her and even confronted my parents about their reckless advice to me…”
“What reckless advice?”
Louis sighs, “The reason why I broke up with Emily was because my parents persuaded me the night of her coronation to choose Katherine. I thought I was making the right decision until I realized that Katherine was not who I expected her to be, I have been restless since then. Emily is the only woman that can fill the gap in my heart, I want her back.”
“How do you intend on having her back when you can’t find her?” Jax asks, he is curious to know what Louis has in mind.
“I thought that she might be here actually, that’s why I accepted the invitation to the mask festival. This is my last shot at making things right.”
Jax clears his throat, “Unfortunately she is not here too.”
Jax leaves instantly to avoid breaking character, he pities Louis. He would have loved to help him out but he can’t risk Emily’s happiness again, he has seen how happy she is with Conrad and hopes for the best to come out of their relationship. If Louis makes his intentions known to her, it might break her down completely.
Conrad meets him in his room with a furious face, “Louis has the nerves to come here after what he did to Emily.”
“An invitation card was sent to him and he came here with hopes that Emily will be here,” Jax tells him.
“Why should he care about where Emily is?”
“Because he still loves her, Conrad. He said that the reason why he broke up with her was because his parents made him to and now he regrets marrying Katherine.”
Conrad’s heart sinks. He must not allow Emily to hear of this, she might consider giving Louis a second chance and then break his heart.
“We can’t let Emily find out about this,” Conrad mutters.
“Of course we can’t, that’s why I did disclose her location to him. You must make sure that Emily and Louis never meet at the festival, no matter what.”
Conrad agrees with Jax, that Emily and Louis must never cross paths at the festival. He will make sure of that, Emily does not deserve a second heartbreak. Conrad leaves to get ready for the party, his mind is determined to stop Louis from meeting Emily.
Emily is mine!
