Chapter 134
LUCAS POV
I stood in the field watching Emma standing on the balcony at the front of the castle while
talking to that same guy from the club. Who the hell is he and why the hell is he moving in on her?
I just need her to listen to me but she won't. I need her to understand that I don't care about my parents' crap anymore. I'll give it all up if she will just forgive me.
I can't get her out of my head and it's driving me crazy that I can't talk to her right now.
I think I might have completely lost my chance with her. All because Levi came up with that
stupid bet and I was cocky enough to think I could win.
I tried to hear what Emma and that guy were saying to each other but they were too far away. But she was smiling. She was talking to him and smiling at him at the same time. She used to smile at me like that.
I really think that I have no chance of getting near her again. And I don't know what that's
going to do to me.
I slowly turned around and I walked across the field and headed back to the house.
When I got there it sounded like Hazel had settled down so I walked inside and the house was
empty.
There was a note on the table saying that her parents had taken her out of town for a while. Until she calmed down.
That was definitely fine by me.
"It looks like Emma really did a number on her." Levi said, walking into the house.
"She deserved it." I said.
"You think she deserved to know about me and her?"
"You should have been the one to tell her. But the crap she's been telling Emma. Like the bet...
Hazel deserves everything she gets."
"Emma found out about the bet because she heard us talking about it."
"Yeah, Outside my bedroom window. That must really kill you." I said, turning around and crossing my arms as I leant against the table.

"Why? Because she was coming to see you and not me in the middle of the night? That doesn't mean anything was going to happen." Levi said.
"Keep telling yourself that." I smirked. And he looked like he was getting really pissed after I pointed out that she was coming to see me. "Answer me something, Levi. Did you care about Emma at all? Or was it just a bet to you?" I asked. "Of course I don't care. I want the stuff that our parents left behind. It's the only way I'm gonna be able to support myself after school. There's no way I'm getting into college with my grades. "Levi said.
"And you don't want to work like me?"
"Exactly." Levi said.
"You really are a piece of shit."
"Wait. Don't tell me that you were actually falling for her?"
Levi started laughing when he realized that it had become more than a bet to me. I was
starting to get really upset that I couldn't see or talk to Emma anymore.
I didn't know what I was going to do to get her back. But it is killing me right now that I can't be with her.
"You idiot." Levi said.
"Why? Just because you don't see her as a person doesn't mean everyone else doesn't. At least I didn't have s*x with my cousin." I snapped at him.
"She's the f*****g princess. Did you really think you ever stood a chance with her? With her parents? Her fathers aren't going to accept anyone that isn't her f*****g mate." Levi said. And I looked at him quickly before I turned to look out the window.
"No f*****g way." Levi said, taking a step back.
"What?" I snapped.
"You're not her mate."
"I don't know."
"What the hell do you mean you don't know? You're 22. If you were mated with her then you would know."
"No, I wouldn't. I've read the history of her mother. Emma has all the same species in her so finding that werewolf mate bond is a lot harder than you think. She's the one that will know it when she turns 18."

"So, you have to wait for two years before you know if you're her mate or not."
"Yeah. But the feelings that I have for her aren't normal. I've had girlfriends before. Ones that I
thought I was in love with. But it's nothing like this." I said. I looked back at Levi and I could see wheels going around in his head. "Don't you f*****g dare. I will kill you if you say a word of this to anyone." I said, pushing off from the table and walking towards him.
"I don't think people would believe me even if I did tell them."
"Good. It's possible that she'll find out that I'm her mate before she turns 18. Her mother knew the triplets were her mates when she was younger than 18." I said.
"So, what? Are you just gonna hang around here and cross paths with her until she figures it out? It's going to hurt her so much more if she finds out that you're her mate and you betrayed her like that." Levi said.
He was actually making a lot of sense right now.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
I thought he would give me s**t or he'd run out of here and tell everyone.
I don't want Emma to reject me before she realizes that I'm her mate. Or her possible mate
because I don't even know.
All I know is that it was more than a bet to me. I have never felt this way about anyone before
and I needed to make sure that she knew before she made up her mind about my future with
her.
I walked over and sat on the couch and Levi walked over and sat next to me.
"I'm sorry I left." Levi said. And I looked at him strangely.
"What? You've never been sorry." I said.
"I know. But now I see what dad did to you. The crap that he put you through and I have a feeling that it got worse after I left." Levi said. "You have no idea." I said.
"I was telling the truth when I said that I didn't know Hazel was our cousin. Not until
afterwards."
"Well, you're the one that's gonna have to live with it. I don't really care. That b***h will spread her legs for anyone." I said.
"Yeah. I can't believe they packed up and left."
"Jayla and Diego won't be gone for too long. They'll be back soon enough." I said.

"Damn. I thought we were finally going to get a good break from that little leach." Levi said
and I chuckled.
"No one is that lucky." I said.
Levi and I sat there talking and for the first time it actually felt like we were brothers again. We were talking like we were brothers.
We hadn't spoken since he was adopted. Not until I moved to this pack. And now we're actually talking like brothers again.
7 years is a long time to go without talking to your brother. It's strange not knowing where he is or what he's doing.
But when I found out that he was living on the Queen's territory, I was more than surprised about that. And then I was surprised that they allowed me to move here. Even if it is temporary.
I hadn't decided what I was going to do when I moved here. And then I decided that I was going to cut Levi out of our parents assets and go back to my old pack. But now, I don't know if I can do that. I have to stay longer for Emma.
Even if she knows it or not.
"What the hell is that?" Levi asked, looking at the window.
I looked at the same window that was on the side wall of the living room and I saw the trees moving so we got up and ran outside and around the side of the house. But the person that was there was long gone.
We saw footprints in the dirt under the window so we checked the backyard and the yard of our neighbors.
Whoever was watching us was long gone and I didn't recognise a scent that had a reason to be watching us.
Only the neighbors' scents and they didn't have anything to do with me. But someone was definitely watching us just then.
