ALPHA SIN

ARTEMISIA

“What happened last night?” Emma asked, staring at me, then at Julie, who shrugged.

I was in the room Emma, and Julie shared. I was assisting the other werewolves in knitting baby clothes.

I had volunteered to do so the first time I stepped into the hall. Besides, I believe it was the little I could help in my way. They had limited helpers in the werewolf group because most just put to bed.

I had left the room to come here so as not to meet Sin, who was not talking to me currently.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

As soon as he awoke this morning, he left the room after freshening up.

He didn’t even acknowledge my greeting when I did, and it was almost as if I was invisible to him.

I wondered what was wrong. Although I had said I wasn’t ready to deal with his straying emotion, I was worried about him.

“An invasion.” Julie smacked the nail file she was using on the vanity table, interrupting my thought.

“A what?” Emma creased her brows as she gazed at her.

Then at me, “What happened, Missy?”

“Don’t call me that.” I glared at her. Missy was the name she called me when we were little.

I didn’t like to be called like that, but I didn’t mind when we were little, as my name was a mouthful. But then, she had picked the name ‘Missy’ up again whilst growing up to annoy me. Even after telling her several times never to refer to me like that, she didn’t stop.

Emma shrugged but didn’t correct herself. She was that hard-headed, and she had got that trait from our mother’s side of the family, the Hugh.

They were a stubborn group of people, and they never liked it when corrected. They did things to favour themselves and never mind if the others would be hurt or not.

It did not surprise me when Emma started exhibiting the character as well.

“Maybe if you didn’t sleep too much, you could have known what happened.” I retorted.

“Oh, please,” She drawled, rolling her eyes. “I wasn’t asleep.”

“Then where were you?” I asked, glancing at Julie, who had said she was sleeping.

“Maybe she woke after I left the room,” Julie said.

Emma nodded. “I was asleep until Sinclair came into the room.”

“To do what?” I blurted out.

Emma smirked, pursing her lips.

She enjoyed seeing me in discomfort. I thought of what she and Sin had done when no one was watching, because I was aware of how she often eyed him. Also, I don’t even trust her together in a room with him.

“Well, let me just say it was a bit of a rescue.” She sighed, staring dreamily at nothing.

“What happened?” I gritted my teeth at the lack of information she was providing.

“I’m sure nothing happened.” Julie asserted.

“You weren’t there.” Emma pointed out, moistening her lips.

“Stop taunting your sister, B*tch.” Julie scowled.

Emma shrugged. “She wished to be offended.”

I glared at her as she rose from her chair, walking towards the bathroom.

Had she got together with Sin?

I trusted Sin. Even though he was the last person I should trust because of the sexual prowess that I had learnt about. But it was better than trusting my sister.

“Sheesh.” Julie snapped me out of my thoughts. “Are you seriously considering what she had said?”

“You know how your sister can be. She loved teasing people.” Julie said, and I nodded. “But I don’t think she would stoop so low to sleeping with a man she knew is taken.”

“There is nothing Emma can’t do,” I muttered.

“I’m back.” Emma beamed as she stepped back into the room. “What discussion did I miss while away?”

I assessed her face. I didn’t know what I was searching for. Maybe I wanted to know if there was truth in what she had said earlier.

However, Emma was good at concealing her emotion.

“You missed nothing,” Julie said. “Also, apologize to your sister for being mean.”

“Me, mean?” Her eyes widened as she pointed to herself. “I did nothing wrong.”

“You did,” Julie argued.

“I didn’t.” Emma retorted, snapping.

“Guys, it’s okay,” I said. “I guess Emma is right. I shouldn’t allow myself to be teased.”

“See?” Emma grinned, jumping on the bed.

“Stop freaking agreeing to whatever crap she said,” Julie said. “You don’t deserve to be treated that way.”

Possibly not. But then, I knew it was trouble the moment she stepped into the house announcing she came to visit.

I doubt if telling her she had overstayed her visit would make me an awful sister.

I didn’t mind if Julie stayed for years, but Emma needed to leave.

Yet, I didn’t know how I was going to chase her away without making it seem like I was doing so.

“It’s fine Julie. It’s not like anything would ever happen between her and Sin. I mean, I trust him around any woman.” I smiled.

Julie nodded with a smile.

I trusted Sin. I guessed it was the marking that had made the bond between us stronger. The trust as well had blossomed.

Even though he was still his usual grumpy self, I believe Sin had my best interest at heart, and he was going to slay anyone that dared to lay a hand on me as he had promised.

“Don’t go trusting any man so much.” Emma’s annoying voice penetrates my mind. “If I were you, I will keep a watch on him. Who knows if he is hiding anything?”

Her eyes glinted, and her lips quirked into a mischievous smile I detest seeing on her face.

She was always up to something when she smiled that way.

“He’s my husband. So, I believe he won’t break the bond between us.” I replied. “Also, there is no need to watch him all day long like a lost puppy because I know he would never hurt me.”

Emma’s face darkened. She wrinkled her nose and twisted her lips. She furrowed her brows, then tutted, shaking her head.

I usually give that kind of comeback to women that liked looking for men to tangle up with.

I didn’t expect I would say such things to Emma. But then, I believe she wished to be treated like a tramp, and I was going to treat her like one because I wouldn’t let her ruin my marriage.

Even though I didn’t know her aim yet, I believe she had the verge of doing that.
