Chapter 31

Emma's POV

I stood in my white t-shirt and black pants making breakfast. My hair kept getting on my face, so I twisted the long golden strands into a bun to keep them out of my face. I turned around to get some more flour when I bumped into Philip. "s**t," I cursed as the flour sprinkled all over us. I sighed when I saw the mess the kitchen was in.

"Can't you guys leave the kitchen? You are making me lose focus," I muttered, glaring at the three boys who have been in the kitchen since I started cooking. They have been watching and monitoring my every movement like a hawk. Philip is currently sitting on the kitchen counter, Alexander was busy on his phone next to the kitchen and Julian is eating an apple standing right next to Philip, cramming up the whole space and making it difficult for me to move around without bumping into one of them.

"Whoa, this is the first time I've seen you curse Emma, that was so hot," Philip said, but a glare from me shut him up. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to help out," he continued meekly.

"You are not helping out, look at all the mess you've caused," I said pointing at the scattered eggshells, flour, water, and dirty dishes.

"This is the most you have spoken to us in the last two days, you have been ignoring us. Don't blame us if we result in this means just to get your attention," Julian replied.

That is right. I have been ignoring them and all their advances at me. This is the first time I'm speaking to them since the incident at school.

I ignored them and continued to make breakfast.

"We have told you severally not to do things like this, the other maids can handle it," Philip said, towering over me and taking a look at what I was making, but I ignored him again.

"Mother," I heard Alexander's deep voice call out. It feels like he was avoiding eye contact with me after the fight. I am not certain because I have been ignoring them, but I felt like he was a bit more reserved and didn't pester me as Julian and Philip did. "Mother, what are you doing here?" Philip and Julian asked.

The Luna is here? I quickly turned around to see her. A white flowy dress adorned Luna's slim frame, and a beaded necklace adorned her neck. Her long dark brown hair flowed and bounced behind her as she walked. She was the complete definition of elegance and grace, her smile literally lit up the entire room. She definitely didn't look like a mother, talk more like a mother of three grown-up boys. I know she normally came to visit the boys often, but I had never met her in person or seen her this up close. I have always seen her from afar since they lived on the other side of the pack.

"What kind of silly question is that? I came to see my boys," she said, smiling brightly and hugging each one of them. My eyes widened in surprise. She didn't behave as how I expected her to. I thought she would be harsh and demanding like the Alpha, of her mate, I heard they've been mates before I was even born, but she is bright and calm. I guess they do complement each other. Looking at how the boys towered over her, she can easily be mistaken as their elder sister.

"Something smells nice. Who's cooking?" she asked, glancing towards the kitchen.

"G...good morning Luna," I stuttered. Her gaze swept over me briefly. I'm sure I look like a mess thanks to Philip.

"You are the one cooking?" she asked, smiling, and I hurriedly nodded my head.

"Great, bring me some food, I'm starving," she said, pulling the boys to sit along with her at the dining table. I quickly went to the kitchen to bring some of the food, I hope this tastes nice after all the Luna of the pack is specifically asking for it. "Where is Hailey? I haven't seen her around?" she asked fondly, brushing off some of Alexander's hair that had fallen on his face. Alexander and Philip had dark brown hair just like hers, while Julian has black hair like his dad. But Alexander and Julian had blue eyes like their dad, while Philip has brown eyes like his mom. Julian looks just like his dad, which made him much more frightened when they bullied me. I stared at them chatting happily.

So, this is what having a family feels like. I wonder if my parents were still here, would I still be bullied and hated so much? At least I would have someone that could also ask me how my day was, take care of me when I'm sick, and cook me delicious meals. However, these are all wishful thinking for they will never happen.

I start serving the dishes on the table. Hailey walked in shortly after.

"Hailey, where have you been?" Luna asked, smiling widely at her. Hailey hugged her and she patted her back fondly. They must be well-acquainted since she basically grew up with the boys.

"I was in my room when I suddenly heard your voice," Hailey replied, smiling back at her.

“Come, sit beside me, and let's have breakfast," she said to her, gently leading her to sit beside her. They all started eating afterward.

"What is this?" Luna asked, dropping her spoon. Her voice startled me and I hurriedly went back to the dining table and stood beside her. I started to panic, doesn't she like the food? I was sure it tasted delicious. If I upset Luna on our first meeting, it's going to turn out to be terrible. Hailey smiles scornfully at me.

"It tastes bad, doesn't it? What if it upsets your stomach?" she asked worriedly, looking at the Luna.

"No, I meant to say it tastes really good, what is it? She asked, staring at me curiously.

My heart swelled with joy. "It's a special type of pudding, I made the recipe myself," I replied.

"It's really good. Well done. I hope I can have this some other time," she said, placing her hand on my arm.

"O...of course!" I exclaimed happily that the Luna of all people complimented me. She even touched me of her own free will, when I was still covered in flour. I can't believe she's so nice to me. I was so used to people hating and disliking my food that I didn't think my pudding was anything special. She really is different from the Alpha. She has an air of authority around her, no doubt, but she didn't use her power in an intimidating way like her mate.

"I agree with Mother, Emma is a really nice cook," Julian said and winked at me. Philip also nodded in agreement. Hailey glared at me with disdain, probably angry. But I don't care, right now, all that matters is that Luna complimented me.

"Boys, still haven't found your mates yet?" she asked, glancing at them and elegantly wiping the side of her mouth.

The boys stopped eating and glanced at each other briefly.

"No," they all chimed. I stood with a blank expression on my face as if it didn't phase me, but deep down I knew it really did.

Hailey smirked happily at me. She must be so glad.

"That is a pity, I really hope you replace her soon and your dad and I get to meet her," she replies, concentrating on her food. I am so elated that she's really enjoying it.

They all continued to chit-chat. The Luna placed some food on their plates most of the time, complaining that they were losing weight.

"Boys, I have to go now. I will leave you to get ready for school," she said, slowly getting up.

"You are leaving so soon?" Julian asked.

"I have to go now, I have work to attend to, and don't pretend that you are going to miss me because if you did, you would have come to visit me often. If I didn't come here today, I'm very sure you boys would not have bothered to visit," she said, sounding hurt. "Don't be like that, we promise we will come and often visit from now on," Philip promised.

"You promise?" she asked, looking at them incredulously.

"Of course, now give us a smile. You look as gorgeous as always," Julian complimented and the Luna laughed happily. The boys did know how to charm a lady.

"Bye boys, bye Hailey," she said, hugging each and every one of them. She hugged Alexander last, and he hugged her so tightly that I thought he wouldn't let go.

"Thank you for the delicious breakfast Emma, I hope to have a taste of that soon," she said and finally took her leave.

"Thank you, Luna," I call after her happily. She knows my name, I wanted to squeal in excitement.

"Emma, we should get going to school, do you..,"

I ignored Julian and walked to my room cutting him off.
