Chapter 121: Choosing Her

DACE

~

Emma wasn’t taking this well, I could feel her quivering, left for me I wouldn’t have told her a thing, but that didn’t seem right on my part, she deserves to know. I was still agitated, I thought I could keep myself in control but I couldn’t, I shouldn’t have let her know I knew Owen kissed her, but I couldn’t help the spite of anger and jealousy that flooded through me.

I’m very certain she could feel it slipping off me and I had no intention of hiding it, I knew she wanna talk about it but she didn’t know how to start, and I didn’t wanna hear it, it would only spice up my already wild blood.

Each fucking time I recall the event of her being touched by someone else I can’t control myself, even right now that she marked by that bloodsucker I was still holding unto a thread. I felt like hunting that bastard and finish what I started, even now I can still remember my dad and I discussion.

A Week Ago

"You intend to keep her here," My dad said standing close to the fireplace.

"Yes"

I’m not gonna let her go again, I didn’t mind whatever wrath he was gonna send my way, I was not letting her leave my side anymore or even the liberty of someone else touching her. She was safer with me.

"Good"

Say what? Did I hear right?

He faced me with that piercing dark hazel eyes of his and showed just how dominant he can be, I was far from radiating such power he holds, he was an Alpha lion, after all, I just have qualities of it, one I have can’t even match, but yet I stood my ground.

His lips gave off that smirk and I knew he had something up his sleeves.

"She has been marked by a Royal, it is unbelievable because she’s human" he speaks and I knew his words were true. "Keep her as close as you want"

"You’re only allowing that because a Royal is after her" Trust my dad to always use things to his advantage. He’s only allowing this because the closer I was to Emma, the closer I will be to a Royal. Royals were rare to see and by far a foe to us, they matched up to the strength we have which was a hindering to werelions, they were like silver to us, just as deadly.

A smile found his lips but it wasn’t pleasant. "Odd isn’t it..." he began. "Two vampires have already attacked her, I don’t see that as a coincidence, I’m certain you have felt it already"

Once again he was right, there were certain things about Emma that didn’t set the criteria of her being just human, I have sensed such ever since that Vampire attacked. Emma has always been a puzzle to me, she might have thought that I was the puzzle but she was wrong. Her scent was the first captivating thing about her, setting her like a secluded trait.

"Yes I have"

He nods. "I heard from your mother that she is an Adams"

The cats outta the bag.

"An Adams without witch blood and yet with a scent so captivating... even now the house air is heavy just by her single presence," he said tilting his nose upwards. "Emilia cannot read her too, Emilia’s abilities are strong that not even a human can block"

"Despite all this or whatever mystery, I don’t intend on leaving her side"

"Choosing her over your future?"

My fist tightened, it was a really hard decision I have come to.

He tsk his tongue. "Foolish cub,"

Yes, I’m foolish, I’m choosing Emma over the possibility of ever finding my female.

"Very well, keep her close as you wish"

The last thing I expected from him, whatever he had in mind I was not a part of it, I only desired to keep her safe, find the bastard and figure out why she was set aside from the others.

Present

"Dace" her groaning made me burst out of my thoughts, I must have thought too hard there.

"I feel so weak"

"It’s the drip" I held onto her before moving my gaze to the dosage, it was empty. My mom prepared it for her, it helps with the pain and makes her recover quickly.

I heard her groan and I laid her against the bed, I swiftly removed the needle and she groaned once again.

Seeing her like this breaks me, she was in pain, setting my eyes on that bandage reminded me of my failed attempts of killing that bastard. I knew for certain he would come for her, he proved it to me when he set his life on his line to take her away.

Her blood... There was something about Emma’s blood. She said the vampires were drawn by it. My guess, the first did too but I was quick enough that day but the second time I wasn’t, there will not be a third time because no one will lay a hand on my baby girl again.

"Dace" I shifted my gaze to her, she stared at me weakly and tears at the corner of her threatened to fall.

"I’m sorry" her faint voice shocked something within me. "What happened with Owen... It happened so quickly and I..." she trembled. "I know you’re angry about it, I wasn’t cheating on you, I promise"

My lips almost broke in a smile but I held it in, so she considered that cheating, well she was right, we were still in a relationship, it’s a good thing she let that stick in her tiny little head.

She bit her lip, she was super cute when she did that and that was like fuel to my fire, she had no idea how badly I wanted to kiss and erase that warlock stench, but can she possibly handle that in her condition?

"I-I-I-"

Will you just keep quiet?

I smashed my lips on hers before I could stop myself. What happened to waiting until she recovers, Dace?!
