Chapter 135: She Smells Like Him

[Patrick’s P.O.V.]

When I arrived at Emily’s house, only Simon her father was there.

“Where’s Emily?” asked I.

“She’s out. May I ask why Beta is looking for her?” Simon looked at me apprehensively.

“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s just that I once noticed that she had worn quite a pretty dress and I want to ask her where she got it since I’d like to get one for my mate. When will she be back?”

“Oh, it would be her honor to help you gift that dress to your mate. Maybe you can call her directly or text her.”

“I don’t have her number.”

I couldn’t tell if Simon knew that I was lying but he still gave me Emily’s number. When I walked out of their house, I immediately dialed the number.

“Emily, it’s Patrick.”

“Beta?” She was very surprised that I called her.

“Where are you?”

“I’m outside. What can I do for you?”

“I wanted to ask you where you bought a dress that you had once worn. I want to buy one for my mate.”

“Which dress?”

“A white one. D*mn it, I don’t know how to describe it. When are you coming back?” I tried my best to recall Emily’s appearance and dress lately but it was in vain because I never paid her any attention. All I could do was pray that my lies would be good enough.

“I have a few white dresses, but I don’t know which one you’re talking about.”

“Then I’ll come to see you when you get back. When can you come back?”

“Tonight around eight o’clock. I still have something to finish up on here.”

“Okay, I’ll see you then. Thank you, Emily.”

I hung up. Now, I needed to make some preparations for when I meet her tonight. I hurried to another hut and hoped that its owner was still there. After Luna left the pack, I hadn’t checked to see if he had left with them. It was completely my oversight.

When I arrived at the hut, I thanked the moon goddess that he was still around.

“Clyde, good afternoon.”

Clyde returned my respect as he leisurely made tea.

“Did you know that Luna and Alonso have left?” asked I.

“I know.”

“Why didn’t you leave with them?”

“Why should I leave with them? I quite like the life I have here. It’s the life I’ve always yearned for. I don’t want to travel and be in danger forever.”

“But isn’t Alonso your teacher? And wasn’t your mission to protect Luna?”

I was shocked and angry by how his careless attitude. Alonso might be powerful but he was still just a child. I seriously doubted he could take care of Luna and ensure her safety.

“I’m an independent person, Beta. Although he’s my teacher, I also have the right to choose my own life.”

“Alright.”

“Beta, if you’re only here to question me, I would like to continue making tea.”

He was asking me to leave but I didn’t have time to think about why he was acting this way – was there some conflict between him and his teacher? Regardless, I had to hold back my emotions and reactions as I asked him for a favor.

After 8 P.M., I brought Clyde with me to Emily’s house. When she opened the door and saw us, she looked a little strange. I simply said that Clyde was going to have a drink with me later, so I decided to just bring him along for now. She led us to the living room as she walked into her bedroom to bring out her white dresses.

I didn’t think any of the dresses were particularly pretty but since I had dug this hole, I had to pick one of them.

“Emily, this was the dress that caught my eye previously but I didn’t have the time to ask you about it at that time. You looked so elegant in it. Where did you buy it?”

“Beta, there’s no need for you to go to such great lengths to find me for such a small matter. I could have taken a photo of them for you.” Still, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly – I could tell that she was trying her best to suppress her beam of joy – since a ranked member had just praised her.

“Well, I prefer to confirm the dress in person so please forgive me for being so straight with you. Moreover, I don’t think I would have been able to remember the dress just from photos. So, do tell me where you bought this dress. I know my mate would absolutely love it.”

After I got the answer, we exchanged a few more pleasantries. I made it a point to mention that I hadn’t been seeing her around as often and she simply explained that she had some things to settle outside the pack.

“Beta, she does smell like Alpha.”

That was what Clyde told me once we were some distance away from Emily’s house. This was the reason I had planned this entire encounter. I knew that a Werewolf of Chaos’s sense of smell was uncanny.

But when I heard his report, some mixed feelings arose within me.

“So is Emily having an affair with Alpha? Are you investigating them?”

“Shut up, Clyde. This isn’t your business. Forget what you just went through.”

He didn’t ask any more questions as I drove him back to his cabin.

“Hey, didn’t you say we were going to grab some drinks?”

He called out to me through the window as he got out of the car. I started my car and sped off. I wasn’t in the mood for a drink or a chat. I needed to inform the ranked members of the call I had received today.
