Luna Needs an Alpha

14. Suspicious

Charis clicks her tongue. Actually, she was very lazy to see Emric because she would remember all the actions of her cousin, who did various ways to make her hand over her leader's position in the pack to the man. As she had thought, Emric wouldn't give up, even though Draven now held Alpha's position. "You said you came here because you wanted to meet Draven."

Emric nods. He stood next to Draven and measured his height. "Right, I see it now," He says. "I'm shorter than Alpha. I'm 180 cm tall, so I'm guessing you're 185 cm tall."

Draven decided to keep quiet. Maybe it was because Charis and Oryn told him about Emric, making him too lazy to answer the man.

Emric didn't care that Draven ignored him. "Because I've met Alpha Draven, I'd like to meet the wolf in Alpha Draven's body. Is that okay?" He asks again with a smile. Since Draven used to be a human, he didn't want to be polite to him. But, unfortunately, he had to keep up his image.

"Why? You still don't believe that Draven has turned into a werewolf. You want to see for yourself?" Charis asked Emric with a sarcastic look in her blue eyes.

Oryn secretly restrained himself from smiling. Luna Charis isn't afraid of anyone and always says what's on her mind, regardless of how it makes the people feel.

Emric chuckled. "Possible?"

Viggo shook his head. Emric never missed a day of making Charis angry. He'd better go. He doesn't want to interfere. He had to go somewhere as well. "Sorry to bother you," Viggo said with a smile as everyone in the room looked at him. "I have to go now because I have an appointment," he said, smiling at Charis. He blinked and said, "If I have time, I'll come here." Charis nodded.

Draven grew suspicious of Viggo when he blinked his eyes at Charis in front of him. Did Viggo forget that Charis is his wife? They just got married yesterday.

After Viggo left, Draven held Charis's hand, who seemed to be holding back her emotions. "It's okay."

"What do you mean?" Charis glared at Draven. "Are you going to accept his ridiculous request?" She pointed at the grinning Emric.

"Why? I just need to switch places with Sam." Draven gave a shoulder shrug. He didn't want to waste time and just wanted Emric to leave his workspace right away. Emric was stubborn, just like Charis. If he didn't do what Emric said, Emric might be here until tomorrow morning. He had the power to get rid of Emric, but he didn't want to. It was his first day as an Alpha, and he didn't want any unfavorable rumors about him to spread.

Emric a tilt of his lips. Charis responded with a snort, annoyed.

They were now in the garden in the workspace's backyard. Several ornamental plants decorate the garden, and there are fir trees. Charis was standing next to Oryn, with annoyance on her face. At the same time, Emric smiled while looking at the blooming roses. They waited for Draven, who was swapping bodies with his wolf.

A big, gray-furred wolf walked up to Charis. Emric let out a gasp of surprise and stared at the Draven wolf. Charis put his arms around Sam's head and stroked his soft, fluffy fur with his hands. "Hi, Sam. Did you miss me?" she asked with a laugh.

Sam's deep voice sounded sweet to Charis when he said, "Silly question. I always miss you and Aria." Aria complained that she wanted to meet Sam.

"Feathers are gray." Emric murmurs. It was rare for a werewolf to get their hands on a gray wolf famous for possessing extraordinary strength. How could Draven, who used to be human? Alpha Draven is very lucky. "Nice to meet you, Alpha ...?" Emric doesn't know who Draven's wolf's name is because Draven hasn't announced it yet.

Sam turned around, looking at Emric, whose eyes were amazed at him. "Nice to meet you too, Emric. My name is Sam. You wanted to meet me, didn't you? Now that we've met, are you satisfied?"

Emric nodded stiffly. His purpose was to challenge Draven's wolf to a fight, wanting to know his abilities, but when he saw how lucky Draven was to get a gray wolf, he decided not to. He didn't want to make himself look bad. He laughed. "Yes, I'm satisfied. Sorry for being rude. Please convey thank you to Alpha Draven for letting me meet you," he said with his back bowed.

Charis rolls her eyes. She knew the reasons Emric wanted to meet Sam. Look at her younger cousin's face, which is as pale as the undead after meeting Sam.

Sam said with calm down. "Yes. Draven heard it, and he doesn't mind."

Emric walked quickly out of Draven's workspace as if a demon was after him.

Sam returned to Charis. "Is he always that annoying?"

Charis sighs. "Yes. Always."

Oryn chuckled. "Emric always manages to make Luna Charis mad. He acts like a child and a rebel. I never imagined that if he was the Alpha and I was the Beta," he said with a heavy sigh. "Maybe I'll take headache medicine every day."

Charis patted Oryn's arm while laughing. "You are so dramatic."

***

On the first day as a leader. A person in charge of 2,000 werewolves. It's not easy to do this. Draven knew that very well. He had promised not to let his responsibilities slide. His intention today, he was just to take a look at the condition of his workspace, but when Alpha Viggo and Emric showed up. He didn't want to throw away the time he had.

Draven didn't want word to get out that he skipped his first day of work as an Alpha. He had to maintain his self-image because he needed recognition from the higher-ups and pack members, even though it must be very hard to get.

Like other leaders who have ambition, he also has ambitions to gain trust that he deserves to be Alpha Garnet Pack. He will forget his human past because today and forever, he is a werewolf. He will live here, in the Garnet Pack, which is in another dimension. Not on earth, the human world.

"So, how often does Charis have all kinds of terror?" Draven was sitting on the couch, and Oryn was sitting opposite him. Oryn does his job as a beta very well. Oryn is happy to tell Draven anything he wants to know and help him adapt to his new life.

Oryn rests his chin in the palm of his right hand and says, "Almost every day. Sometimes there are a lot of snakes here and in Luna's bedroom. The snakes don't bite, they just creep. Luna also gets letters or messages with death threats, as well as flashing lights and virus-infected laptops that wipe out data," Oryn sighs. Every time he thinks about it all, it makes him mad. "But Luna Charis can always smile, even though I often see her crying."

Draven growled, angry. Yesterday Oryn didn't explain it in detail, because there was Charis. Oryn didn't want to make Charis remember all that terror. "Who did it?"

"Only Emric comes to our mind, but there is no accurate evidence." Oryn shrugged. "Oh, I remember. They also cut Luna's car brake cable. Lucky Luna steered her car into the lake."

Draven had no idea. Why did they want this position so badly, and why did they want Charis to leave this world? "Terrible. Their actions are outrageous."

"Yes, right, they are outrageous." Oryn nodded. "Take it easy, Alpha. Luna Charis feel a little better now that they haven't done it for two months. I hope they really stop, and I hope Emric gives up after he mets Alpha Sam." Oryn remembers Emric's pale face. He swore it was the first time he'd ever seen Emric scared.

Draven tilt of his lips. "Yes, I hope so, but I'm ready for any threat that comes my way."

Oryn smiled. Draven is very strong-willed. Draven's spirit is the same as Charis's. "When are you and Luna going on your honeymoon?"

Draven, who was reading the file, looked up and c****d his head. "Honeymoon?"

Oryn nodded his head, and his eyes sparkled. "When? I'll reschedule your work, Alpha." He looked at the tablet where he had written down Draven's work schedule. "You don't have any essential events this week; visits to the Ruby Pack can be rescheduled for next week."

Oryn didn't notice the dreamy Draven. Why didn't he think about their honeymoon? Isn't it important for a married couple to go on a honeymoon?
