Chapter 3: Revenge, Terror and Solutions-Part one

"If you four will follow me I'll show you to your rooms".

"Sure". They responded. While following Kristoff up the stairs. Once they get to the top of the stairs Kristoff turns to Axel.

"In front is my room, that's Derricks and the room next to it is Axel's. When you're done looking at it meet in the hallway in front of my door and I'll take you to Max and Leanna, they can take you shopping for clothes. If my mother isn't busy I'll ask her to take Emerald".

"Sounds like a plan".

"Now down here will be your guys rooms, Brandon yours is on the left and Royce yours is on the right just across from his. I thought that Axel would want to be closer to Emerald and down here you guys will have privacy".

"Yeah you're right, Axel's going to be all father mode since our parents ate now deceased". Stated Brandon with a chuckle.

"Ok when you guys get all settled in front of my room".

"Ok". they say.

"Now to our room". He says while pulling her along by the hand. “And here we are". He says opening the door to his room. Emerald walks in her eyes wide in delight.

"Wow, it's breathtaking".

"Over here to the right is the bathroom, the double doors across from the bed is the walk-in closet. I'll make room for your stuff while you're gone with my mother. Take a shower and I'll have Leanna bring you something to wear".

"Ok, oh change the bedding because I refuse to sleep with the same bedding you slept with her in". She demands while walking into the bathroom and stripping down to nothing on her way to take a shower. Chuckling to himself out of admiration of how demanding his mate is while pulling out his cell phone to call his mother to come to his room. Next he calls Leanna to bring him some female clothes and a pair of shoes to his room.

"Knock, Knock".

He walks over to the door and opens it, finding Leanna standing there. "Hey thanks". He says while grabbing the clothing and examining the items in his hands. There's a dark tan tank top with thin straps, lace undergarments, a pair of black skinny jeans and a pair of sandals with heels. He then asked her. "Can you and Max take the three guys shopping? I'm going to ask my mother to take Emerald, they weren't able to grab any before escaping the attack". "Yes". She answered. He closes the door then opens the bathroom door and walks in placing the clothes on the counter. Before leaving he tells her about the clothes. Walking back in the room there is another knock on the door. Oh, must be mom, he thought to himself.

"Hey mom, come on in".

"So, what's wrong? Why the need for me to meet you in your room? Who's in your shower, better not be Louise"?

He rolls his eyes at her. " To answer your questions, no it's not Louise that is in my shower. Two, I asked you here because I want you to meet someone".

"Oh my god, you found your mate"! She excitedly hugged him. He nodded to her and hugged her back. "Tell me all about her Sweetie".

"Well, I found her this morning over at my spot I fell in love with her instantly, just by looking into her sparkling green eyes. Her name is Emerald Livingston, she has the most beautiful curly platinum blond hair, she's just breathtaking".

"Wait. Do you mean Emmie? As in Derrick's Childhood crush"? She says excited again.

"WHAT"? He growls. At that moment Emerald comes out of the bathroom all dressed and drying her hair.

"Emmie"!!! A woman comes barking at her as she's walking back into the room after her shower. Looking over the woman's shoulder she gives Kristoff a questioning look.

"Em honey, meet my overly excited mother".

"Oh". She says hugging the woman back. "Hi, Luna".

"No darling, call me Claire, please".

"Ok, Claire".

"I thought that my mother could take you shopping".

"Oh, really? You wouldn't mind"?

"No dear, I wouldn't mind at all, in fact I'd be honored to go shopping with my son's mate".

"Ok".

"I'll meet you downstairs in front of the office".

Emerald nodded. "Don't be nervous". He said taking her into his arms and kissing her on the forehead. "Just act like yourself besides she already loves you before she even knew that you were my mate".

"She does"?

"Yes she does. Why do you think she called you Emmie?

"Wait? Derrick"?

"Who else calls you Emmie"?

"Oh"! He kissed her forehead again and let her go. "Why don't you fix your hair". He suggested. "Ok, I think I'll put it up in a French braid today". She said as she makes her way over to the vanity in the room. It was made of cherry wood with a huge round mirror and several drawers on both sides. She just happened to find an elastic hair tie in the front right pocket of her jeans after putting them on. She found a hairbrush and started brushing her long platinum blond hair, when she was done she started braiding it. She looked at herself in the mirror, she didn't have any make-up to put on, but then again she really didn't need any. Which was one of the problems she had while in school besides having Derrick as her best friend. She stood up and walked over to Kristoff and planted a kiss on his lips. "See you later". "See you later love, I have a meeting with Derrick and my father, but it should be done before you get back". "Ok'! She said as she walked out of the room and down the stairs to meet Claire.

Just as she gets to the door it opens and Claire walks out and shuts the door behind her.

"Are you ready"? she asked Emerald.

"Yes". She answered.

"We'll be taking Dylan and Caleb with us as our guards for today. We have rivals out there and I just want us to be safe, plus what happened to you and your brothers".

She nodded to the Luna, and they started to walk towards the door on the way someone rammed into her shoulder causing to be off balance until she felt arms around her for support. Claire balanced Emerald from her almost fall and looked behind them and saw Louise. In her most threatening Luna voice, she yelled. “LOUISE"!!!! The girl turned around with fear in her eyes and all the blood drained from her face. "HOW DARE YOU TREAT YOUR FUTURE LUNA LIKE THAT"!!!! Louise composed herself and looked at Emerald with so much hatred and replied. "SHE"S NOT MY LUNA AND SHE NEVER WILL BE< I AM THE FUTURE LUNA"!!! She turned on her heels and high tailed out of there before she could be disciplined for disrespecting them both. Emerald then put her head down out of embarrassment and shame. Claire placed herself in front of the girl and took her index finger and lifted her chin.
