Chapter 10 Emily's POV

Emily's POV I overheard what the clerks whispered amongst themselves about the woman beside Owen. "I really didn't expect the alpha's successor to be a gentleman. How I wish I could be his wife…" "Is the pregnant lady really his wife?" "I guess so. He doesn't have to reveal her to the world. Didn't you hear Mr. Watson call her 'Mrs. Watson'?" "Yes, I did…" At this point, I stopped listening and quickly left the store. What a jerk! The night before, Owen was dropping off his belongings in my room, and now he was accompanying his wife to choose a wedding dress. I hated anyone who got in the way of a loving relationship, and now, I became that exact person. I couldn't tolerate this at all. I decided to sever ties with Owen and hope we would never meet again. I went home and threw away everything in my room that was his in a fit of rage. For good measure, I left some nails and broken glass on the windowsill. Even after doing all this, I was more annoyed on why I was so mad at him. Did I care about him? Oh, no. Absolutely impossible. I wasn't his mate to begin with. Why should I care about a playboy? Just as I was deeply absorbed in my frustrations… "Surprise… Ow! Goodness me, why is your windowsill full of broken glass? I just cut my hand." I looked at the origin of the voice, which turned out to be a redhead in front of my window. I was indeed surprised. She was my best friend, Nora. Two years ago, she had gotten married and left for the Bloodymoon Pack with her husband. I hadn't seen her for a long time. I didn't expect her to suddenly appear in front of my window and accidentally injure herself. "Sorry," I apologized to Nora. "It wasn't on purpose." "It's fine. I didn't tell you I'll be here earlier. It's been a few years. Do you miss me?" Nora was more than eager to hug me. "Of course I do…" I replied. I embraced her for what felt like an eternity and took a few steps back. "Nora, you're so gorgeous. That form-fitting leather dress suits you very well. It's really sexy and beautiful!" Nora smirked. "That's for sure." I held her hand and we sat down by the bed. "Well, what brings you here all of a sudden?" Nora was much more cheerful than before. "Babe, I received your wedding invitation a few days ago. Of course I had to come to help you with your big day!" "It's so nice to see you again then." I hugged her tightly again. Nora chuckled. "What happened to you? You look like Cinderella in her rags. Let me dress you up and we'll have fun together!" "Have fun?" I wondered. "Yeah!" said Nora. "I'll let you in on a secret— there'll be a ton of handsome guys!" Handsome guys? I really need them right now. I deduced that I was mad at Owen because I had too little contact with the opposite sex. I was getting fed up with him always appearing in front of me. It was time to experience new thrills! Nora put on some delicate makeup on my face and settled on a black dress with a cutout on the back. She also let down my curly long hair. "Oh, dear! You're so beautiful. You'll definitely be the star of the show," Nora flattered me. "Let's go then!" I lifted my wrists and dragged Nora along heading out. I thought we were just going to some bars run by the pack. Never had I expected to be in a large bar in the human world. "Hmm, why did you bring me here?" I asked. "Baby, you're about to get married. Every wolf knows about it. Did you really think any of them would hit on you?" Nora explained. Nora then lowered her voice and said cryptically, "Also, this bar is founded by my friend. I prepared a pleasant surprise for you today. But first, you have to wear the bracelet I gave you. It can conceal a werewolf's aura." I followed Nora in. Along the way, several men were looking at me, and some even catcalled at me. Nora asked me if I had a man in mind. Thus far, after talking to a few men, I had yet to find one. In the end, she brought me to an extremely luxurious private room. The staff here seemed very familiar with Nora. They left as soon as they found seats for us and offered us some food. Only me and Nora were left in the private room. "Nora, what are we doing here?" I asked. "You'll find out soon." Nora rested a hand on my shoulder and casted a side glance at me. "Darling, don't you know how beautiful you are? It's a pity you're about to be someone else's for life. Let's have all the fun we can tonight." Once she was done speaking, the door opened. Then, I saw five human men walking in clad only in briefs. I was burning up at the sight of these charming men. Nora nudged me. "They're all ours. We can make them do anything. You first!" "They're all established models and actors. They have the best appearance and talents among everyone else!" So, this was what Nora meant by having fun. What had become of Nora? In my mind, she used to blush even when her mate kissed her. How could she now…? Just what had exactly happened over the past few years? I wanted to escape, but my wolf couldn't contain her excitement. "Emily, why don't you try something?" "Cut it out!" I snapped. "I'm not even as excited as you are." While I was arguing with Nina through the mind link, Nora had already approached one of the men, hooked her arms around his waist, and kissed him passionately. After that, another man walked up to me and said, "Miss, you look a little hot. Do you need help taking off your clothes?" Before I could respond, a third man was about to move towards me. The room was too chaotic now. I wasn't used to it. I really wanted to leave early. I walked out of the private room and into the washroom, feeling somewhat relieved. Just as I left the washroom, I saw a familiar figure right away. I made a beeline for the figure and made out the figure's face. It was Blake's! I saw him enter another private room. Soon, 10 well-built men in bathrobes lined up and walked into the same room.
