Alpha's replacement bride is destined mate-Chapter 137 You Are My Beta

"Emily, are these your jewelry?" Dolly picked up an amethyst pendant necklace from her jewelry box, holding the heart-shaped amethyst in the pendant, as large as a pigeon’s egg, which shone brightly in the light.

"It’s beautiful," Dolly couldn’t help but praise. "Did Klaus give you all these jewels?"

"Nope," Emily replied while packing her clothes. "Those are the rewards I won for participating in hunting competitions."

Emily had won the last hunt and not only secured the jewels but also the title of Edelweiss Princess, thanks, of course, to Klaus’s covert help.

"Are you going to take these jewels to the border?" Dolly asked, setting down the amethyst necklace and picking out a ruby ring from the pile of jewels, placing it on her right middle finger.

Emily had already informed Dolly of her plans to go to the border and had asked for her opinion. If Dolly didn’t want to accompany her, she could stay in the palace with the twin princesses.

Upon hearing the news, Dolly didn’t hesitate and told Emily she would follow her wherever she went.

"No, I’m going to sell the jewelry," Emily said, folding her pants into her suitcase. She had considered taking supplies to the border, but Klaus had told her the royal family would distribute them with them. So she thought, what could be more practical than money?

But the truth was, she didn’t have a penny in her account and usually relied on Klaus’s credit card for shopping. She was too embarrassed to ask Klaus for money again. That’s when she remembered the jewels.

She wanted to exchange the jewels for money and use it to buy what the pack needed. Although Klaus had assured her that the Green Forest Pack was doing well, she had heard from the news that the situation in the border areas became extremely dire once winter set in. In that vast and remote land, there would be a serious shortage of essential supplies.

So, she had to prepare in advance.

"Are you going to sell all your jewelry?" Dolly asked, surprised.

"Yes," Emily said. "Merging the two packs isn’t easy, and I need to prepare more money just in case."

"You’re thinking so well," Dolly said. "It looks like you’re already a real Luna."

In fact, when Emily and Klaus got married, she became Luna, but at that time, Klaus hadn’t regained control of his pack, so Emily hadn’t truly been involved in pack management. However, during her training as a princess, she had taken several classes on pack management.

"You’re going to need more people," Dolly said, taking off the ring from her finger and placing it back in the jewelry box. She looked at Emily. "Who else is coming with you to the border besides me?"

"Marx will come with me, too," Emily said.

"The tattooed man?" Dolly frowned. "So it’s just the two of you?"

"And eighty pack members," Emily added. "And the tattooed man you’re referring to, his name is Marx. Why are you so hostile to him?"

"I don’t know, maybe it’s because I don’t like his tattoos," Dolly said.

"Marx is a dutiful Beta, and he’s a good guy too," Emily reminded her. "Don’t forget that when you were wounded by Heidi, he saved you."

"I said thank you to him," Dolly changed the subject. "Emily, while I haven’t been involved in the pack’s merger, I know that wolves are generally reluctant to accept outsiders. Conflict is inevitable, and you need more help."

"I’ve got you and Marx, that’s enough," Emily said indifferently.

"Who else can she trust besides Dolly and Marx?"

"But in what capacity should I work for you? I mean, if there’s conflict within the pack, in what role do I intervene? As Luna’s best friend?"

Emily put down the clothes in her hand. She thought for a moment. Dolly was right. In what capacity should she bring Dolly along? Dolly was neither a northerner nor a member of Klaus’s pack, and her current status was indeed somewhat awkward.

"Why don’t I be your Beta?" Dolly proposed.

"You want to be my Beta?" Emily was surprised. Usually, only the alpha has their own beta, and of course Luna can have a beta as well, but that’s only a select few.

"Why not?" Dolly said, "As long as I become your Beta, I can stay with you, rightfully by your side."

"Have you thought this through?" Emily never wanted her best friend to be her Beta. After all, she thought Dolly had only come north to be with her for a while. If one day, Dolly decides to return to the South, Emily wouldn’t force her to stay.

But once Dolly became Emily’s Beta, Dolly would have to stay with her. Emily was reluctant to force Dolly and respected Dolly’s choice.

"Yes, I’ve thought it through," Dolly didn’t hesitate. "Just let me be your Beta."

Emily thought for a moment, "Okay, but you can’t go back on this."

"Deal." Dolly’s face was filled with excitement, as if it would be a great honor to be Emily’s Beta.

In the evening, Emily told Klaus about it, and he readily agreed. The next day, Klaus asked the royal advisors to give Dolly a new identity, and she is now officially Emily’s Beta, who not only wears her own Beta badge but also receives a monthly salary.

........

Emily had less than a week to spare, so she spent her days reading about the history of the Green Forest Pack and the geography of the surrounding area while Klaus was away at work. In the evenings, she asked Klaus to explain the management of the pack, such as daily patrol work and financial management.

One night, Emily fell asleep at the table, dazed. In her dream, she came to that dark place again, shrouded in endless darkness. There was a terrifying silence all around, except for the sound of her rapid breathing echoing through the air.

Suddenly, she saw Klaus covered in blood. His body was riddled with shocking wounds, and blood poured out, staining his shirt red. A raging fire burned around him, and the blazing flames seemed to consume everything. Klaus’s eyes were filled with pain and despair, and he looked at Emily helplessly, as if begging her for help.

Emily’s heart pounded, and she ran desperately towards Klaus, trying to extinguish the flames and save him. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get close to Klaus. She could only watch him being consumed by the flames, and the horrific scene made her heart feel as if it were being torn apart. The flames grew brighter and brighter, and Klaus’s figure faded into the flames before disappearing.

"No, Klaus!" Emily screamed in her dream.
