I had not seen Emma since everything had gone down last night, and it was driving me to insanity... When I entered the breakfast hall and saw that she was not there, it dampened what little hope I had of finally having an opportunity to discuss what had happened with her.
My father had already gone to the great lengths of removing me from all of Emma's guard detail. He had ensured that any time we used to be with one another, I would now be stuck dealing with my Beta responsibilities far away from Emma's duties as our future Alpha... I tried to reason with him, but there was no changing his mind. His mind was made up, and nothing would make him budge, except for the decisions made by Queen Charlie, of course...
I had hoped to be able to run into Emma in the dining hall. I knew it
