Chapter 235: A Sibling Bond

EMILIA

~

I hated myself right now to the point I would just end my life. I was such a fool, I was so stupid. I think I have lost my brother because of my own stupidity.

All I could do was cry under the table like I was a child. I only wanted his well-being, that was all I wanted, seeing him this past month in so much pain was killing me, has he forgotten that his pain was mine too? I could feel everything because of our sibling bond, it was just too much so I said the only thing I could... about him rejecting Emma, I thought that would be a solution for him. But the moment he muttered dad’s sick ways in his head I knew then just how far I have strayed.

My dad was both gentle and strict while bringing us up, we knew he would go to any length to make our clan prosper and he was the one who wanted us to find deserving mates more than anything, worthy of the family name because of our status.

I was so blind until now... Dace saw all this far ahead and I didn’t. I accepted Emma for being his Female... but what happened just got me searching for a better way for him. He was soon to be Alpha and he had his duties and so did I and I didn’t want him to linger, but I was wrong to think that way. I cast him out instead of supporting him.

I can’t even take his angry and hurtful expression off my head to the point I cried my heart out for being so stupid.

I sobbed, wiping my tears away and rising to my feet. I can’t just stay and cry, I have to find him and tell him what I said was a mistake, I have to tell him how sorry I’m and how much I regret it. Oh please let him forgive me, please.

I rushed out of the house, I couldn’t catch up to him by blurring, he was so fast so I shifted to my She-lion form. I was similar to Dace in my beast form, dim yellow gold furs and all but I have a feminine structure and I had less hair on my face, mine took the shape of a typical lioness but I still had a lion’s mane hair because of my Alpha blood.

I dash off on all fours the moment my transformation was complete, I didn’t waver, I didn’t think all I knew was I had to find my brother and-

I froze in my spot when a hot chill flowed through me. Oh no, Dace... no! This feeling I got I knew it because even though he shut me off from the mind link I could still feel it, his beast was taking over his mind. What was he thinking? We have been taught to let our mind be stronger than our wild self but now he is letting it consume him, he’s becoming a Rogue.

I growled going off at speed again... this was all my fault! This was my fault! I hurt him when he needed me the most, I told him words he couldn’t bear and now he thinks he will free himself from pain by allowing his beast to take control. Dace please no no no! I can’t lose you.

I stopped abruptly when I caught sight of something, bodies! There was no scent coming off them but their weapons on the ground scattered in various places told me that this was the Venatores we had been hunting down, what was left of them...

Because all I saw was nothing but pieces.

’Dace’

I dashed off again when I caught his scent, it didn’t take long before I spotted the action and I froze in place once again. Was that Grayson? Pointing an arrow at my brother? I acted fast before I could think. All I knew was I needed to stop this because I knew that arrow won’t hit, Dace was too fast and out of control, and Grayson will die!

So I pushed Dace off and took the arrow instead. It hit sharply on my shoulder and from the pain, no one needed to tell me that silver was embodied in it.

We both rolled off the high ground and I slammed the ground hard. Dace roared at me in anger.

’Dace!’ I called him through my mind link but it was like I was speaking to a wall. He attacked me and used his head to push me and slammed me against a tree but that pain was nothing compared to what I was feeling. So I did the only thing I could at that moment.

’RUN" I imposed my thoughts on his head as his own. I watched as he shook his head. This was something I rarely do because I was yet to perfect it. Imposing thoughts on others as their own.

’RUN!" I yelled more deeply into his head and with a deep growl he dashed off in speed until he was out of sight.

I bellowed leaning against tree bark, I couldn’t move my body, the arrow still sticking out and the silver going into my bloodstream.

I heard an approaching footstep and my eyes landed on Grayson holding a dagger. The dots were connected and a glimpse of my thoughts was back.

He’s a Venator, that was why I couldn’t read his thoughts nor track his scent.

I growled in pain as the silver pumped into me more and I felt my beast form retreating, I was shifting back into my human form because of the pain, I wailed as my furs shredded off me and my bone reshaped until all that was left of me was the pain from my shoulder only and not my shift.

I heard a gasp and my weak gaze anchored on Grayson, his broad eyes on me.

That was the last thing I saw as darkness took over.
