Chapter 270: Can Someone Explain?

DACE

~

I couldn’t help myself... the rage, the excessive pumping of my blood within me, the overheating and the blood rushing to my head, my intuition took over, my beast ate my anger and the next thing I knew I was almost squeezing the life out of Grayson. I’m stupid I know and I couldn’t help it, seeing someone’s hands on my sister wasn’t exactly what I would welcome especially when he’s not her Male, no one will touch her aside from him. I don’t care if I have to kill this guy right now.

Emma called to me but I turned deaf, which was quite stunning to me... but my brain was too overridden with anger and my killing intent. Emilia yelled at me and I yelled back at her, mostly demanding, I was on the verge of killing him and I knew it but I couldn’t stop myself, maybe I wanted to, my blood lust was getting the best of me but I can’t stop it now.

Not until a scream that almost blocked my ears came through followed by a strong gust of wind. No one needed to tell what that was... It was Emma, and she used magic, the terror overridden my brain and before I knew it my blood lust was gone and I left Grayson with my full concentration on Emma, worry and panic filled my body especially when I saw blood trailing down her nose. The price of the little magic she used.

I rushed to her side and held her firm.

"Are you okay?" I couldn’t stop the shaky sound of my voice, I didn’t like seeing her hurt, I knew what magic does to her body and she just recovered from one that almost took her life, I don’t want her to be in that state ever again, that was why I told her to promise me not to use magic again, I wanted anything that has to do with magic to be erased because I can’t bear seeing my baby girl hurt just because of it.

I accept her for what she is, I have always had... but I can’t accept this. My mark was even pulsing just by seeing the blood trailing down her nose, it killed me within just that small amount and I got more worried.

"You almost killed him" her voice sounded sore from her shout.

This was my fault I made her like this because of my stupid anger... how fucking silly of me to the point I was at a loss for words. "I..."

"I would never have forgiven you if you did"

Like a bullet made of silver pierced my heart the moment she said those words, it soared so deep, she would never forgive me? I don’t think my body can handle that, does she have any idea how much was the gravity of those words? Why did she say this to me? Because of that Grayson? That Venator?

Does she know what he is? Judging from her look I think she does because I mentioned it and she doesn’t look shaken by the truth but rather angry at me. How long has she known this?

"Neither would Emilia"

Her added words caused more confusion to flush my features. Emilia? Someone has to give me a fucking explanation... but I said nothing, only wiping the blood off beneath her nose with my thumb.

"Care to explain?" I didn’t mean to sound angry but I couldn’t help it.

She didn’t meet my gaze anymore but rather brought it to Emilia and I followed too.

Emilia was frozen in her spot and not saying anything... while Grayson was recovering from my choking, How I wish I can pounce on him right now and slit his throat but Emma was the only reason keeping me still, she was the only one who had that control on me, she said she won’t forgive me if I kill him and that made me and my beats terrified, the damn beast within me was actually behaving just by those words.

Grayson is lucky because of Emma... but that doesn’t mean I won’t get my answers, because I could clearly sniff that something is wrong here... it was evident in the tight air.

"Care to explain why you’re making out with a Venator?" I asked but mostly to Emilia who seemed nervous now... okay that was new because I knew Emilia, she was a crazy brave girl but right now she just seemed ’Not herself’?

"Emilia!"

"Hey!" Grayson snapped at me and I brought my now beaming eyes to Grayson, I felt like moving now.... but I can’t. He’s defensive of Emilia. It was an impulse action and I can recognize that anywhere.

"Is he your Male?" I asked, bringing my eyes away from a confused Grayson and to Emilia who looked pale at my question.

"Is he? A Venator?" This was just a question but I was sure hoping that this wasn’t true, because out of all the supernaturals in the world, she should not be bound to him, not him.

"Shocked?" She asked more bravely now and I narrowed my eyes. "You’re bound to Emma a half-witch who said I can’t be bound to a Venator"

I could sniff it now... the change in her emotions, this could only mean one thing and that got my insides twisted. She’s fucking bound to a Venator!

"Bound, Male?"

I brought my eyes back to Grayson.

"What are you guys talking about?"

’You haven’t told him?’ I asked Emilia through our mind link because that seemed to be the case here.

’I can’t’

’But he bears your mark?’

’Yes’

Her inner voice was so weak and it dawned on me that she must be passing through some sort of rejection. When a Male or Female that you’re bound with is angry or distant from you... we experience a cycle of rejection, our bodies get physically weak and mentally too and we are vulnerable, only the strongest werelions can overcome it. That was why when we reject our mate or the bond we forget them so that we won’t experience such pain, because it was a pain similar to dying.

’Fine, I will tell him myself, you’re only killing your body’

"Dace no!" she called out.

But that’s too late, I won’t let her suffer because of this guy.

"Dace" Emma’s sweet voice got to me.

"Don’t worry baby, I won’t kill him... yet" I added the last part with a smirk.

"T-That’s not convincing!"

"Grayson"

He was up his guard with still a mix of confusion in his eyes.

"Welcome to the family" there was sarcasm in my voice mostly because I don’t welcome him... yet. If he’s my sister’s male he has to be more... That was the promise I made to myself when I set my eyes on my baby sister, that I will make sure her Male was well deserving of her, there was no way I will let this guy have her just like that.

"You’re my sister’s future husband and the father of her unborn cubs, understand?"

I think he just experienced trauma because his face ran paler than when Emma was told or even worse. But I’m not taking my words back, he has to know and it was a right that shouldn’t pass him by, if my sister can’t do then I will.

"W-What?" he was still in shock.

"Grayson, don’t listen to him," Emilia protested.

"Don’t make this harder... you can’t keep this from him"

"I respected you when Emma didn’t know, I didn’t just walk up to her and tell her!"

"It wasn’t confirmed at that time, that was different from Emilia, why are you bringing up excuses?"

She shut her mouth. And I brought my eyes back to Grayson. "He knows and then he decides what he wants if he cares"

Grayson was still in a state of shock and then he slowly moved his eyes to Emilia like the dots and the reason for his state of confusion all coming to light and connecting.

It was getting awkward standing here now, I should give them some space but I didn’t want to leave Emilia alone with him, I can’t sniff him out. He was still odorless and causing a blockage to my nose, I can’t even take a whiff of Emma’s scent well too.

But I gave up mostly because I could see it in his eyes, Grayson was no danger. It was something I could finally see after seeing the burst of emotions swirling in his eyes as he looked at Emilia, this was identical whenever I see Emma.

’You two talk it out’ I mind-link Emilia who scowled at me.

’I hate you’

’I know’

I turned on my heels and walked back to Emma who watched the scene nervously, guess I wasn’t the only one feeling awkward.

"Let’s go"

"B-but-"

I didn’t let her finish, I leaned and threw her over my shoulder and she squeaked.

"DACE!"

I Ignored her protest, I had no choice but to do this because I knew she was still in pain down there... I’m done playing nice, we both have our own things to settle.
