Chapter 310: The Guests

DACE

~

Lucas flipped me with his brutal strength and I found myself flat on the ground. The action caused me to be back to earth, just how long I was lost in my head and unable to detect an attack from Lucas? That was new and alarming for me...

"Wow, I have never done that before because you always overpower me, what the fuck are you thinking?" Lucas said, stretching his hand for me to take, and I took it as he helped me up with a strong pull.

We were doing some sparing exercise, we werelions maybe strong naturally but that doesn’t mean we don’t train once in a while, and it has been a while for me, I still need to test my strength and more importantly keep my mind in check, it was internal chaos for me and I thought sparing with Lucas would help, but no. It brought me to the ground instead, just fucking great!

"You good?" he asked a hundred times ever since and I brought my eyes to his brown ones.

"I’m fine..." I mumbled already getting irritated again, I was awfully irritated this period, almost like every little thing ticks me off, I can’t help it, because my body knows, knows I have been apart from Emma for far too long, but I mentally told myself I have to get my beast in check because after what happened it has been damn torture for me, I still remember how my claws pierced her delicate skin, the blood, and her whimper.

I don’t wanna go through that again, this is why I tried sparing more and perhaps getting my physical body to be strong enough to hold that random transformation. My Cuz Lucas might see this as a random request from me but it was more than that for me, But certainly, instead of concentrating on that I can’t fucking take my mind off Emma.

"Yeah right," he scoffs. "You basically let me flip you which is not normal even for me, where’s your head at?" Lucas came again strongly. Maybe I was wrong because he definitely knew there was something wrong with me and I wasn’t exactly hiding it, it was clearly present on my face... so much to ’dealing with my problems’.

I remained silent at his words... which were nothing more than a clear answer from me, causing a smirk I would love to punch off his face spread on his lips.

"I’m guessing it has to do with sweet little Emma"

I growled at him the moment he uttered those words and the strong urge to rip his throat off overwhelmed me, no one calls my baby girl sweet and little except ME!

"Woah woah woah!" he raised his hand in defense. " Easy there grumpy" he mused and I rolled my eyes.

"Ha, I see judging from your actions you have claimed her" he rants. "I knew the time you spent as a rogue wasn’t just in the forest hunting deers you were banging your Female, damn!"

"Lucas!" I snapped at him in both my beast and normal voice and he jumped, giving enough space between us to burst into a hard peal of laughter.

"Damn Dace... congratulations I must say, but have you told your parents?"

"They aren’t in one place at a time"

"Hmm" he nodded in agreement. " What happens when they find out?"

"What do you mean?" I asked, grabbing a towel from the stand to wipe the sweat dripping on my face.

"I mean you know..." He sighed. "You know when you were a rogue they were trying to make you reject her and your dad was set on using his alpha command without considering your feelings so yeah allow me to ask what happens when they found out that the very witch girl they do not entirely acknowledge as your Female who they tried to have you reject?"

I leveled my gaze and said nothing before looking up back at him. "They will have to deal with it" I answered confidently, whether they like it or not Emma is mine and I have officially made her mine, my plan right now was to let them know. Them knowing means the entire clan knows too, it will be official... that I have found and claimed my Female.

He opened his mouth to speak but approaching footsteps grasped our attention and we both pivoted to it, Emilia came into view with a stoic expression.

"Mom and dad are home" She began with her eyes on me. "And we have guests"

"Guests?" I blinked.

"Get changed and come downstairs," she says, turning on her heels and exiting, leaving me dumbfounded. Mom and dad being home was one thing but guests?

~

I was downstairs the very minute I changed, my blood in itching anticipation, my mind combusting with several thoughts... I thought of at least having a grasp of the situation but I can’t, but I pondered more on the look Emilia had, she didn’t look happy at all when she mentioned ’Guests’ I thought of any possibility of the guests we might have because we rarely have those, when my dad needed to run his business he does it outside the house and never brings any partners to the house, that was one thing my dad doesn’t do except in rare occasions.

If it was a business partner surely Emilia won’t have that kinda look and surely my presence will not be requested not unless it was an Important meeting that calls for my attention as an heir but I was doubting that fact right now.

Stopping right at the end of the stairs I saw Emilia standing with her arms folded across her chest and I loomed toward her.

"What the fuck is going on Emilia?" I solicited the moment I got her and she faced me with the same expression. Something was seriously off... This does not have to do with business partners.

"It’s worse than we thought Dace" she mouths in a faint tone.

I narrowed my eyes. "What?"

The doors barged open and we both turned to it. I finally just realized my parents were standing next to the door like they were waiting for someone or something, and as if on cue they came through.

The attire, the wild yet strong aura hanging in the air that consumed it as any Alpha does, and the familiar face I thought I would never see not unless I become Alpha. No one needed to tell me... this was it, the very thing I was scared of.

My dad fucking invited a member of the Pride Council.
