Chapter 254: Making A Decision

EMILIA

~

Emma remained quiet at my question and I wouldn’t blame her, she has all the right to be because this was something not anyone could do, this was like asking her to walk through flames and her mind was cautious, I knew she cared for Dace but I understand her fears too. I knew for a fact she is scared of him right now after what happened and the dream too. She saw most of his beastly side and I was afraid that there was more to come.

I was super thankful he ate a deer rather than an actual human because that would have proven that he was too far gone. But now I knew there was still a part of him, still a part of his thoughts and it was all thanks to Emma because she was alive and that proves Dace recognized her but not completely. There might still be a glimpse of her in his beast’s mind or his beast recognizes her and is unable to interpret it.

Like my parents taught me the mind of Rogue is hollow and untamed, they are driven by their beastly thoughts. They first sought that for peace for a shifter it is peace for them and they are entrusting their mind to their beast.

This plan was something I wasn’t so sure would work but I believe it would, Dace is attracted to Emma sexually in this state if she could trigger that and then maybe part of his senses will come through. But it all depends on Emma, I didn’t wanna impose on her to do something she wouldn’t want or put her in a position that will cause her harm.

"I will do it"

Her answer caught me off guard and I blinked numerous times when I heard her words.

"Are you certain?"

She nodded but I noticed she was shaking but didn’t wanna show it, Emma has always been a scaredy cat. "A-As long as it doesn’t lead to... you know" she bit her bottom lip.

"It won’t but I can’t assure you that it won’t be dangerous" I leveled my eyes to her side, where Dace hurt her and she flinched at my stare. "He might be brutal, what’s driving him right now is raw instincts"

"Isn’t there another way?"

"I’m thinking but this is the solid one we have and the more time we think the more lost he will be"

She gulped and her eyes quivered.

"I want to save him, Emilia"

"And we will," I assured her because I want nothing more than to set my eyes on my brother again. I miss him and I also want the chance to tell him how sorry I am about what I said.

"We could capture him," she said. "Keep him safe in a space or something and then we think of a way to bring him back"

I smiled before shaking my head.

"Oh," she made a sound downheartedly.

"That won’t be easy... and we don’t have enough manpower, I can’t take him on my own he’s too strong and I’m not sure Grayson can"

"What if I use my magic"

"And endanger yourself again? Absolutely no way!" I barked. "I won’t let you hurt yourself anymore, we find him and a solution will come up but I want you to know that you’re the key to saving Dace, but no magic, do you understand me?"

She nods in silence, I knew for a fact she wanna say something but she refrained from doing so and I didn’t push her

"Eat and have some rest" I didn’t want the silence to be awkward so I left her alone. Shutting the door behind me I sighed deeply.

This was hard but I knew everything will be okay, well... I have not been okay for weeks and I’m not sure I will ever be, it was both torment and hell for me but this was what I decided was the best, it was the only way, and no matter how I wanna take back my words I can’t. I kept telling myself that because that was the only way I could come to terms with it.

But why is my mind blanking right now? Why is my decision waving as I set my eyes on him downstairs, everything just seemed to vanish from my eye view right now and all I could take in was him.

I observed him as he walked to the fridge, grabbed a bottle of water, and chugged it down and I just hungrily watched as his Adam’s apple moved from it.

I gulped... my mouth going dry, my body feeling more alive than ever to the point that my She-Lion would just jump out of my skin on its own. In spite of that tempting feeling, I descended the stairs... I should be in my room because that was where I planned to go but it seems there was a change to that and I mentally cursed myself right now. Because where is the strong revolt?

At the sound of my shoes, he turned and locked gazes with me and I just freeze in place when I clearly should be moving... but no... all he needed was the power of those stunning forest green spheres of his to stop me, to stop my earth and to erase other thoughts I had until it was just his, his only to cloud my mind and imprint his very self into me. He was a mystery I didn’t wanna let go of although I knew I should. I wanted to run to his arms and have them engulf me in a tight hug so that I feel his against mine, the smooth texture of his skin, soothing mine and taking all my worries and headaches away, I so badly wanna be next to him, to kiss him and caress his face, and say loving words to his ears.

But that was just my fantasy, a fantasy that was broken when he moved his gaze away and proceeded to dump the empty bottle in the trash bin and just kept his focus there.

It hurts but I deserve it, at least I was back to reality. Clearing my throat so that I would compose myself I walked to the dishes I used to prepare something for Emma, thank god it was still there because I didn’t know the excuse I would use to stay here... just to feel his presence and the sound of his faint breathing, his movement, and gestures, just to gape him more because I didn’t know when I will get the chance again.

I know he hates me... it’s inevitable, I treated him like a sex release but that was a facade, he wasn’t someone I would just fuck and turn my back to. No... he’s my potential future husband and the man who will give me cubs, fuck just thinking about that got me horny again. I wanted him so badly.

But Ignore the feeling, I pushed it aside and just reminded myself what I can and cannot do. Shooked my head and placed the dishes in the dishwasher for them to get clean.

I rested my palms on the sink and a sigh released from me. I really need to lay my head, I may be a werelion and immune to several things a human should not but I still need rest, and ’rest’ is something I haven’t gotten.

"Are you okay?"

At his wonderful voice that flushed through my ears I turned to him, he had his eyes on me now, they were emotionless, I knew he was trying to mask his emotions so that I won’t see through him, I really wish I could though, too bad I can’t read his thoughts because I was dying to know what he’s brooding.

I fixed my pose to something more befitting and placed my hand on my waist and the fakest smile I could muster stretched my lips.

"Never better" I mused. "What? Are you worried about me?"

"I don’t have time for your games Emilia"

I shivered at the cold tone he used on me, well I didn’t expect that but I knew it was unavoidable.

I cleared my throat. "I’m glad you’re here" I began and he darted his eyes back to me. "For Emma, you two must be close"

"I care for her"

I would lie if I said that didn’t cause a sting to my chest because it did and a spark to my senses.

"She means a lot to me"

"Hmm" I just made a sound just making sure I had my smile up. I knew I shouldn’t feel any sort of jealousy because I could tell from his tone... he didn’t sound like someone who has feelings for her, well... he does have feelings for her but not in that way, I hope.

This sting of jealousy was getting to me, I shouldn’t be thinking of such but I want him to say those words to me only.

Great! My possessive trait for him is already kicking in... talk about revolt.
