EMMA

~

What Emilia just told me came as a massive shock to me, when she told me things got steamy between them I never expected it to be ’sex’ Woah! That is a lot to take in right now, I knew for a fact that Emilia was attracted to Grayson and vice versa but I never knew they would act upon it or the fact that Grayson is actually her Male.

I knew something was off ever since Emilia came to us. I just couldn’t pinpoint it until now, they were both acting strange, stealing secret glances at each other like they couldn’t keep their eyes away for a split second.

And right now Emilia was having a hard internal battle with herself, she might not know it but her eyes are blazing gold, she was both furious and perplexed and it was hard for her to keep a clear head. I don’t know what I could do to help but all I knew was I really needed to calm her down before she goes berserk. She would definitely go berserk at this point...

She thinks because he’s a Venator she can’t accept the bond, well basically Grayson isn’t a Venator but I can’t tell her that... Grayson made me promise that his adoption would be a secret, he was still unable to grasp it and he didn’t want anyone to know about it so he made me promise. I can’t tell Emilia that the biggest thing she thinks is an obstacle to being with Grayson is actually NOT! This is so messed up right now.

She huffed right after I told her that she should just talk to him. But it didn’t seem like she was planning to, she looked like someone that was ready to bury the fact that Grayson is her Male to the ends of the earth.

"I rather keep it to myself because I don’t him to reject me, I don’t think I can handle it"

She’s afraid of rejection, that’s why, but...

"No offense but I think he’s already doing that with your attitude" I admitted and she growled at my words running her hand through her straight raven hair.

"How does Dace handle this? Knowing he’s mated to a non-werelion, how did he come to terms with it, he knows that he can’t impose anything on you or can’t take you quickly because you’re different, how did he make peace with himself over this, how did he understand it and know what he wants? How... just how do you two handle this?"

I couldn’t help it as a smile crossed my lips, I didn’t know why it just did.

"I’m having a battle with my thoughts and body and you just smile?" she snapped and her anger directed at me.

I flinched at her gaze but I made sure I explained my reason, her words just sort of clicked a feeling within me.

"The truth is Emilia, I don’t think I have an answer to your questions but I can tell you this..." I sighed. "Dace always wants me to decide on my own and go with my decisions. He never imposes on me... I knew all of this and all that was left of me was for me to decide on what I wanted"

"Em-"

"What I’m saying, Emilia... it’s better you tell him and face the results than silently dying within yourself and depriving him from what he deserves to know"

She shut her mouth and I noticed her eyes stopped gleaming and hinged glum now. "I don’t think I’m ready for that" she folded her arms. "Thank you, Emma, but I destroyed any chance I might have with him after what I did"

I gulped at her words, did she hurt him that much? Because I saw them when I came downstairs, they were so close to kissing but Grayson turned away and he looked hurt.

"I can’t accept this and neither can he. I should just focus on getting my brother back" she said walking away.

I wanted to call for her but I refrained from doing so, I exhaled sharply in the silence. She was hurt and confused, I really wanted to tell her that Grayson wasn’t a Venator and perhaps give her a chance of hope but at the same time I can’t betray Grayson.

I sighed again. What am I gonna do?

I was back in Dace’s room and my mind was still crammed with thoughts of what transpired between Emilia and Grayson. Emilia was stubborn not to tell Grayson and he was hurt by what she did. They really need to sort things out because I knew deep down that some feelings might be there.

I collapsed on the bed, inhaling Dace’s scent that emitted from it. It eases me and at the mere feeling, I think back to the plan Emilia talked about.

I sat on the bed, resting my back against the headboard and pulling my knees to my chest.

"I can’t think straight," I said to myself and I really can’t, there was a way to bring back Dace but his current beast scares me. I know Dace would never hurt me intentionally but right now as a Rogue he might, god the image of him eating that deer still clouded my mind, Emilia said I should be grateful that it wasn’t a human. What if it gets worse? What if he does something he might regret? There was no time to think I have to do what I can, there was a part of him still there and I was more than willing to bring him back, we have to find him before his people do, or else.

My heart clenched at the thought of Dace forgetting me, nothing... absolutely nothing would ever prepare me for that.

*Loud Scratch Sound*

I gasp, snapping my eyes to the window, my heart beating so fast all of a sudden. Because that sound... came from the window.
