Chapter 148: Possibly His

"Never in thousands of years since our people have walked this earth... has this ever happened"

My eyes were focused on the fireplace, watching the burn and the flame dancing, it wasn’t so far from how I felt.

"A half-witch for a Lion’s better half"

I shifted my eyes to my dad before it with an unreadable expression.

"She is yet to bear his mark, Elias"

"Should that matter right now, darling?" he intoned. "Dace is having an effect he should do towards his Female. She is calling to his mark as any Female does"

"I’m just as confused too... but it would be reasonable if we agree that Emma is indeed Dace’s female"

"Dace"

My leveled gaze shifted to my father, fuck it was always hard to read him which only made this situation much more unpredictable. I’m still trying to recover from what my mom announced, Emma was answering to my mark? When she does not bear it? I have never heard such a thing before.

"Your actions towards her... your feelings" he further began and I found my mind swirling with various thoughts. "The strong desire to be by her side... her scent drives you in does it not?"

"Yes"

"He feels everything a male should towards his female," my mom said with a sigh. "We have only mated with our kind for several generations, a human..." she exhaled. "Or more a half-witch, this stunning"

"Indeed" he settled on his seat just behind the fireplace, leaning against it.

My gaze was back to the table, my fingers mingling together, I was further yet trying to gain control of my mind by keeping quiet, left for me I would have stormed where Emma was and taken her, but for one that was madness and second I don’t wanna scare her, but I was close to that madness in each fucking passing time. The very power holding me back was my dad.

"There’s much that remains confusing in this matter" he began once again.

"The blood oath cannot stop me" I spoke before I could stop myself, facing him eye to eye.

"I know," he said in a low potent tone. "The only reason you’re still here... is because I’m keeping you here" he mused. "Which I will continue to do so-so that you don’t do anything that will stir the families, cub"

I growled looking to the side.

"You feel like you will lose your mind if you don’t see her"

"Yes!" I snapped facing him.

"Dace"

I faced my mom.

"I understand you... what you’re feeling is the bond towards Emma, you have always felt it but you did not see it because she is yet to bear your mark"

She was right... I have always felt a bond towards Emma, one I could not explain. Emilia and I grew up hearing the lectures about how it felt to have a Female and a Male but what I felt was completely different and powerful, that it scared me, I watch my mom and dad over the centuries, yes, they knew they were made for each other but Emma was never mine, to begin with, and yet I craved her like undying earth, I wanted to adore and cherish her like she was the only life on earth, I wanted to hold her against my side permanently and never letting go, my marbles were in a splint when it came to her, she is like the desirable beast of me I can’t contain, she’s too much and also enough.

"I don’t care if she does not bear my mark"

"You should"

My eyes were back to him"

"Because that is the only way we can make sense of this"

I growled, up on my feet.

"Alexander!"

His tone stopped me in my tracks, he was calling my Alpha given name which could only mean I have tested him enough, he rarely calls me that.

"I understand your pain"

"You two keep saying you understand" I faced them. "When you’re forgetting the pressing issue here... Emma..." I exhaled sharply. "My possible Female is in the hands of the Sherman’s, they have what is mine!" My eyes were already gleaming from my loss of patience.

He rose to his feet striding over me, each step was enough to shock my body, and yet I stood my ground as we both took the space in the room with our aura and challenged height. The air got thicker as both our Alpha aura made the air intense, although his aura was stronger than mine, I wasn’t the one for backing down, and he knows that... I will go to any lengths right now even if it means defiling him.

"Elias please" My mom called from behind. "Dace don’t test your father you know very well how that will not end well"

Yes, when it comes to a bigger challenger it means sorting it out in our lion form. I have fought him before but it was more like a spar but that didn’t mean he was easy on me, he was never easy on me, he built me like a damn machine and at the same time like the best father you can ever ask for, he ran hot and cold at all times which makes him impossible, only my mom was capable of taming the monster he was, but I was a growing monster too, and I’m afraid no one can tame me when the times comes.

"What do you expect me to do?" I said in a ragged tone but still laid assertively.

"Think with your head"

I was fucking far from doing that right now!

"I will lay this down with Oliver Sherman carefully and not to stir, remember we have a blood oath to fulfill"

Damn the blood oath!

"And do not forget cub... Even though Emma is possibly your Female, she still has her lineage and her own clan, no one gives up their own that easily"

I took a step closer to him and his eyes seemed to widen at my action but it was quickly covered up with his mask.

"I’m aware... but that doesn’t mean I will let her go"
