Her friends knew she was madly in love with Aldrin but they never thought it was to this point. Julia was losing her mind and if this was to be known by the royalty family, and the pack, she would be cast out. This just showed how much danger she will be to their Luna. If Aldrin was being forgiving he would exile her but if she keeps on threatening to deal with Lea, her being not killed was 0.00001% chance.
"Julia pull yourself together. You don't want anyone to hear what you're saying. Are you insane?" asked Jackie alarmed.
If this carried on, not only Julia will be implicated but them as well. She was not counting herself on death row because this girl was being unreasonable and insane. She still had a long life ahead of her, this Julia was going to get them killed.
"Julia, I will forget that you slapped me for nothing today. However, I will not support this insanity. You have some gall to think you can defeat fate. What gives you the right to threaten the next queen and have your eyes on the crown?" said Emalia.
"Loving someone is a beautiful thing, but you think of the prince as the prize to the crown, and you desire power. This is not loving but greed. How can you even think you're qualified to rule the were kingdom? You don't have the heart to rule the people. If you're to rule, this kingdom would cease to exist. It will perish in your hands, and you will never be satisfied with hurting others." said Emalia in anger. She never liked the way Julia always acted superior to them. She had enough, and she was putting a stop to it.
"Emalia shut up, you're not helping. Can't you see she is angry?" Jackie said in a panicked tone. This was not the right time to voice out their grievances. Julia was losing it, and Emalia just made it worse by degrading her.
"What? This is the truth. Had Luna thought she was fit to be the queen, then she'd be mated to Aldrin but she's not. This is the reality and she must face it. It is enough that she acts all might with us but it is not acceptable for her to desire something that was not hers in the beginning. We are partly at fault because we encouraged her, but now, it is not fun anymore. This is not something she can just go around spouting. This is a capital offence, she better get herself together or we will be doomed." said Emalia in anger.
"So, you've finally said how you feel. You never took me seriously and you thought I was being FUNNY?" Julia said in anger.
"You think my love for Aldrin is not real? Do you think I am not fit to be queen? Huh?" she exploded in anger. She was slowly walking towards Emalia as if she was prey.
"What, Julia? Are you going to use me as practice, for when you will kill the future queen because of jealousy? Does it even make sense to you, to kill someone for what was decided before they were even born? Do you think you have a right to be queen? What gave you the courage? So, be it. If you want to kill me do it. You are already beyond redemption," said Emalia with ridicule.
Somehow she already knew Julia would act this way. That slap she gave her, was the worse betrayal. It was not like she had been wrong and Julia beating her and showing no regret, it just showed how little she meant to her.
"Shut up!" screamed Julia as she pounced for Emalia. She went for her face with vengeance in her eyes. The skin being tore was heard, and the metallic smell of blood filled the room.
Screamed Emalia in shock and pain, Julia smiled in victory and madness.
"You think you're better than me, don't you? How dare you look down on me?" she seethed. "Without me, you are nothing. Do you hear me?" she said with hatred in her voice and her eyes filled with mockery.
"Hahaha... I am confused, myself. Why did I become friends with such a psychotic person?" replied Emalia with a sad smile.
"Go on Julia, kill me. You want to, don't you? Go ahead fill that filthy heart of yours with happiness. Isn't that, what you feel when you hurt others?" she taunted.
Jackie's heart panicked with fear. She didn't get why Emalia was being like this. Yes, she felt the same way about the treatment they received from Julia, but aggravating her now was the worst time. What was her aim?
"Emalia, stop it," she cried out, but it was too late as Julia already shifted and aimed for Emalia's neck. She was going for the kill.
"Julia Noooooooo," cried out in fear Jackie, as she tried to stop the tragedy but she was too late. Her heart was beating so fast with fear and she didn't know if Emalia would live. She closed her eyes afraid to see the cruelty that was about to happen.
However, she felt something passing by her at a great speed and a growl that commanded them to yield. She fell to her knees and whimpered in fear and submission. That was the king's command, this was bad. At least if it was Aldrin, this was not going to be that serious but the king was another story.
"HOW DARE YOU?" He roared. The king was enraged.
All they could do was to submit and stay down, talking and explaining whilst he was this angry was not a good choice.
"Derrick come and get your daughter, you two come with me," said King Jack.
Emalia and Jackie followed the king to the palace. He took them to his office and demanded answers.
"Tell me what happened and don't you think, you can lie to me?" he said.
This time queen Malia, Brandon, Mike, Aldrin, and Julia with her parents were present too. Emalia was very angry at her so-called friend and didn't hesitate to tell the truth.
"Your highness, we were talking about Lea being mated with prince Aldrin. Mostly, it came as a shock to many of us because she is a human. We were just puzzled with this being the first to happen in history," she said graciously.
"To be honest, I even thought perhaps someone who is mated to the prince, might have bumped into her and she got the scent that way. However, Jackie made me realise I was being stupid about it,"
Everyone was surprised about her thinking that way, but they also thought it could be a possibility. Even so, it was still a 1% chance. Julia on the other hand was still seething in anger, she hated the bitch.
"Everyone knows Julia always had a thing for prince Aldrin and it was not a big deal when we thought she still had a chance. However, things changed when he recognised his mate and it was not right for Julia to still think she has a chance with the prince," said Emalia.
"Emalia is right. So, we were advising her to stop her dreaming and accept things as they were but she refused to. Instead, she got all angry and defensive. She ended up slapping Emalia by just mention Lea's name," supported Jackie.
