Chapter 269: Angry Much?

EMMA

Earlier

I think I should be thankful that I brought a bag of clothes like I knew he would rip my current ones... well I actually brought it because I was worried when he shifted back to his human form he might need it... who knew I would need them too.

These were super big because they were Dace’s clothes but thank god my jacket survived. I put on a shirt and sweatpants and then proceeded to put on my coat jacket.

"Please don’t tell me you’re planning on going back with me naked," I said, fixing my hair with a smile as I watched my gorgeous boyfriend just standing there naked and watching me like a hawk. I blushed under his heated stare.

Surely I knew he had it in mind to stay naked, he once said it was like a part of them... I can see why now... but I wanted so badly for him to cover up, he was a standing sin waiting for me to wield and I wasn’t so sure I could do any more wielding. But my body says a different thing from my mind, that damn traitor!

"You don’t need clothes," he said in that husky tone of his, it was like fuel to my desires, resonant and yet so palliative whenever he talks to me, it seems like they were always in a diverse tone, mostly when he calls me baby or my name and I will never get used to it.

"I’m not superheated like you" I protest.

It took one step to close the distance between us and I tilted my head backward to meet his eyes, such beautiful hazels and I finally got to see them again when I thought I wouldn’t.

"You know what I mean baby"

Of course, I do! "We can’t stay here any longer, it’s almost morning and Emilia will be worried about us"

We took so much time here and I imagine how worried she must be and Grayson too... oh they are not searching the entire forest for me already. I diverted my gaze back to Dace’s and noticed a shift in his eyes and from that, I held his hand and he leveled his gaze on it.

"You know she loves you right and what happened she didn’t mean it"

"She sounded convincing"

"Dace," I said softly.

"I can’t deny the fact that it hurts, everyone... turn"

I shook my head. "I-It wasn’t like that"

"My dad and his sick ways, your aunt and the very person that I hoped would at least back me up"

I gulped because I understood the gravity of it and he was right.

"But I’m not angry" he shrugged those broad shoulders of his. "I know she didn’t mean it and I made her cry, I can’t forget that" he pulled on my hand and brought my body closer to his and I gasped at his swift action.

"Dace"

"Hmm?" he only made a sound as he took a deep whiff of my neck.

I closed my eyes... loving as his warm breath flushed against my skin causing goosebumps but nevertheless I placed my palm on his chest and pushed him slightly so that we were at eye level.

"Get dressed"

A tantalizing smile crossed his lips. "Yes ma’am"

I blushed.

I shivered just from the slight blow of the draft. I had forgotten how cold it was because of that magical place, but that wasn’t what was on my mind but the ache between my legs... walking right now was enough to tell me that something did happen down there.

And a frequent reminder of what transpired between us, I can’t believe we had sex! It kept constantly flooding my brain and my cheeks got redder and redder, my heart hammering in my chest too... that memory was something I will never forget!

I felt Dace’s hand around my waist and it was like the cold vanished. "Stay close"

Definitely! Dace was like a walking heater. Taking a brief moment, I turned my head back just to take a glimpse of that magical place. I had a strong feeling I might not see it again but the moment I turned I saw nothing but the endless cold wood.

"Dace"

He stopped when I mentioned his name and turned.

"Where did it go?" I said with a trembling gaze.

"I don’t know," he said just as puzzled as I was...

The whole place just vanished like it wasn’t there, to begin with, was it a dream? I groaned, definitely not!

"Emma"

"I’m alright," I said quickly because I didn’t wanna worry him... but nothing gets past Dace.

"Come I will carry you"

"N-No it’s okay!"

"Stop being stubborn"

"I’m not"

"Then why?"

"Your body feels too good, I can’t help it"

He chuckled slightly. "Well it’s a good thing, our bond is complete"

"So what now I can’t just be near you without being stimulated"

A wicked smirk crossed his lips and I rolled my eyes. I opened my mouth to speak but he placed a finger on my lips and no words came off me but rather a whisper.

"What’s wrong?" I asked worriedly because it seemed like he senses something.

"I hear something," he said only, looking in a particular direction.

And we followed it with me being close to Dace’s side. Just a turn and we came into view, well a very spectacular view... my mouth dropped in shock, this was not what I was expecting out of the blue...

Grayson and Emilia kissing... almost like they were wanna rip each other’s clothes off with their level of make-out.

They finally caught notice of us and they parted in surprise, I just stood frozen in my spot.

"Emma," Grayson said in shock and relief.

"Dace" Emila said, keeping her eyes on her brother. That was when I felt it... Dace’s temperature ran beyond a heater and changed to something burning hot.

"Get your fucking hands off my sister!"

Before I could set my eyes on him he already moved and next Grayson was trying to release himself from his iron grip, it all happened so fast that my eyes couldn’t keep up.

But Emilia certainly did because she was screaming at him to let Grayson go and I just drew sharply on my breath. Dace was gripping Grayson’s neck so tightly that it scared me, it scared me that he might actually drain the life out of him.

But Grayson acted by plunging a knife into Dace’s hand against his throat to somewhat release it and he growled.

"Really?" Dace mocked him.

And that was when I found my voice. "Dace stop it!" I wailed at him but it was like I was talking to a wall, what was happening? Dace was going overboard!

"I remember you" Dace began through gritted teeth. "You are a Venator, one of them who tried to bring me down"

Maybe that’s why? But still, this was getting too much!

"Dace let him go!" Emilia growled but she didn’t move from her spot almost like she was cautious of him.

"Really Emilia? Do you have any idea who you’re making out with?" he turned his beaming gold eyes to Grayson who struggled in a futile attempt.

The more heated this got the more my breathing unhinged, it was almost like I could feel the amount of killing intent emerging from Dace and it reminded me of his rogue form, he was acting exactly like it, but right now it was his human form that was scarier.

"He touches you again, I will rip his hand off!" he growled at him.

I couldn’t take it anymore because I feared the worse for Grayson’s life.

"STOP IT!" I merely intended to scream but I ended up releasing the energy within me and my element merged with the wind and turned it into a mini storm of waves. And I could hear my own voice sounding way louder than I intended it to because I noticed they covered their ears from it.

So I stopped when I realized what I had done, taking in a sharp breath and gazing at my surroundings with my hues of green vision.

"Emma" Dace said, completely forgetting Grayson was there and had his worried eyes on me and I knew why.

Something cold trailed down my nose and I knew what but I merely focused on what was behind me... was it just me or was Grayson’s eyes glowing just like mine... but I was unable to look further when Dace walked to me and held me.

"Are you okay?" He asked in a shaky voice.

"You almost killed him" I whispered to him because my throat felt sore from that shout.

"I..." he paused and said nothing.

"I would never have forgiven you if you did"

He brought his eyes back to me and they were in confusion but I meant what I said.

"Neither would Emilia"
