CHAPTER 033

EMMA POV

The following morning I got up to go for my usual morning jog and I got dressed for it.

And when I walked out of my bedroom I saw Noah waiting in the hallway wearing a workout shirt and shorts.

"Ready to go?" He asked.

"Do you have my entire schedule?" I asked.

"Yeah. Pretty much. I have to know your schedule cause I'm your head of security now."

"I've had security before."

"Not like me. I'm not going to be as subtle as them. And I've actually trained a lot harder for

this position."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I'll explain later. Come on. Let's go." He said.

So we walked downstairs together and I started stretching in the entrance of the house.

I started jogging down the stairs and then kept going along the edge of the territory but not too close to the border because there was always something dangerous hanging around outside the border. My parents have drummed that into my head for as long as I can

remember.

I was surprised that Noah didn't have any problem keeping up with me.

He kept in pace with me the whole way. Not like my other guards. And he was easier to talk to. The others were always too serious and I didn't really like them too much.

But Noah was about to have a conversation with me while he was looking around for danger. Making sure that I was safe.

When we got back to the castle I went up to my room and I had a shower and got dressed into a white long sleeve off the shoulder top with a ruched neckline and cuffs on the sleeves, jeans and black boots.

I grabbed my brown jacket and my bag and I walked downstairs.

I went to the dining room to get breakfast and that's when I saw that no one else was in there.

I was surprised. There was always someone eating breakfast when I got there, but the cook

brought out my breakfast and I sat there looking over my day planner with Anna and there was a lot of paperwork piling up.

As soon as I finished breakfast I realized that I still had a bit of time before I had to get to school. So I went to the sitting room and I grabbed out my phone and I dialed a number. "Hello."

"Mom." I said.

"Hi honey. How's everything going there?"

"It's good. I'm just wondering when you're coming back."

"Honestly, I don't know. There's a real mess of things here in the states. We have to try and fix

a lot of packs. There's been a lot of reports of abuse and we have to see it for ourselves."

"You could just teleport there. I don't know why you all had to go and why you have to be gone for so long."

"Because we have to investigate thoroughly. I heard that you're doing great there." Mom said.

"I guess. Mom, I had to execute someone."

"I know. I heard all about it. And I heard that you did it with extreme strength and dignity. You did it by the book and there is nothing wrong with what you did. We aren't going to punish you for it. Not after we found out what was going on in the village."

"But more people want to join the pack and I don't know if they're good or not."

"Emma. You are more special than you realize. You have great intuition and strength. That's

not something that can be taught. You were born with that and you need to go with it. If you

believe that those people are worth joining our pack, living near us, then let them. If you don't think they should, reject them." Mom explained.

"It's not that easy for me." I said.

"I know. But we trust you."

"Thanks mom."

"Is everything else alright? Do you need to talk about anything else?" I asked.

I was thinking about telling her about Levi and Lucas, But then I chose not to. I knew that she

would get worried about me and my dads would get really upset and want to kill them.

I don't want them dead. I just want them to hurt for what they did.

"No. There's nothing else. Except for the new personal guard."

"Are you and Noah getting along?" She asked.

"Yeah. He's actually a pretty nice guy. Not like my other guards who always acted like they had

a stick up their asses. I can talk to this one and he talks back to me." I said. And she chuckled

at me. 

"Well, I'm glad you're getting along."

When I got off the phone I made sure that I had spoken to everyone. My dad's as well and told

them all that I loved them, but I could tell that something wasn't right.

I don't think they're not telling me the whole truth about why they're away.

I'm sure there's more to the story that they just aren't telling me. And if they won't tell me, I

know that no one else will either.

When it was time to go to school, Noah was ready for me and he was waiting by the door and

we walked down the stairs together and across the field.

"You know, I can drive you to school if that would be easier." Noah said.

"No. I love walking to school. It actually makes me feel sort of normal. But we'll talk again

when winter hits." I said.

"Deal." He said.

"So, what do you do for fun?" I asked. And he looked at me strangely.

"Fun? What is that? I don't think I've had fun in years."

"How is that possible?"

"Because I've been training at a secret camp."

"What secret camp? You said that you were trained to protect the royal family but you never

said anything about a secret camp." I said.

"Well, it's a camp where a lot of warriors go to train extensively just to be able to protect the royal family and other officials that the Queen believes needs that level of protection." He explained. I nodded my head thinking about it for a moment.

He has been training at this camp for a long time, I don't even know how long, just so he could come here and protect me and my family. I wonder if he knew that he was actually going to be assigned to me.

That was weird. But I guess I'm not surprised.

Royalty comes with all sorts of perks.

CHAPTER 033

As we were coming into town I saw Lucas standing out the front of the cafe. He was staring straight at me so I grabbed Noah by the shirt and forced him to cross the street with me. He looked back and saw Lucas standing there.

"Wow. That guy really does have a thing for you." Noah said.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"I know that he broke your heart. Your friend has a big mouth. Him and Levi were betting on who could get you into bed first." Noah said.

"Which friend?" I growled. He looked at me strangely. Knowing that I was pissed off that my

friends were talking about it.

"I really don't think I should say."

"It was Chloe, wasn't it. It had to be. She's at the house with us. She's the only one who's had the opportunity to tell you." I said.

"She didn't mean to. I asked about him after I saw him harassing you at the club." Noah said.

"I still don't want people talking about it." I snapped.

"Alright. I'm sorry I said anything. But it's good that I know about them two. So I can keep

them away if they try to get close." He said.

I looked at him and he genuinely looked sorry. But I still wasn't fully trusting of men right now. So I just nodded my head and kept walking.
