"Thalia," Emma Greens called as soon as she stepped out of the sleek black vehicle parked inside the Alpha's den.
Thalia kept her head straight and continued walking toward the servants' quarters without acknowledging her Luna.
Emma stood still, watching the little she-wolf's retreating figure with confusion, wondering why the young wolf was being so rude.
Suddenly, Thalia stopped and turned to stare at Emma with open disbelief.
"I want our spirits to walk as allies," Emma said with a small shrug and a soft smile, trying to sound warm despite the tension between them.
Thalia scoffed loudly.
"Lunara is right; you are dumb!"
Emma frowned slightly, surprised by the blunt insult.
"What did you say?"
"You are dumb!" Thalia repeated without hesitation.
Emma's expression hardened.
"Listen, I can tolerate many things from you because of your father," she said firmly. "But insults are an exception."
Thalia only smirked in response.
