Chapter 318: Dance With The Werelions {2}

The moment the car came to a recess right at the entrance my nerves skyrocketed and my heartbeat started hopping. Dace’s hand immediately gave mine a delicate squeeze and I turned to him trying to settle my breathing, there were no words said between us just the interaction of our gaze but a lot could be said without words. I could read the look he gave me, a look that said we can turn back away from this but I shook my head.

He said nothing as he came down from the car and slammed the door shut, I released a loud exhaled closing my eyes and trying to soothe my nerves, it helped and I was organized a bit, my door opened and Dace stretched out his hand for me to take which I did without opposing and he helps me out.

He slammed the door behind me and still kept his eyes on me, they were storming with many emotions but one I could read was worry. "Stay close to me the entire time"

I nodded, that was definitely the plan because there was no way I would part from him, I only trusted him and Emilia in that house and they were the only ones I could possibly be alone with.

He gave me a nod and held my hand tightly as he led me to the entrance that looked kind of... busy? There were cars too.

"Cars?"

"Even though the rest of the council can’t make it doesn’t mean the Dominguez clan didn’t"

"Oh god," I murmured, drawing sharply on my breath. "I’m more worried about Grayson now, he’s still a Venator and if any of them find out it will be dangerous"

"Emilia knows that she will protect him don’t worry... besides it was his idea to be inside he has to deal with it"

"You still don’t like him do you"

He gave me a smirk. "He’s your brother, how can I not like him?"

I rolled my eyes at his words and focused on what was ahead of us. We were greeted by the Butler as he opened the door for us, my legs were almost weak, and walking with these heels on was getting more difficult by the second.

Inside looked brighter than I remember, probably because they had guests, the hall with stairs was partly filled with people and I swallowed my breath the moment they gained our attention. All classy looking... all eyes were focused on us and I felt like melting, I still don’t do well in crowds and I felt like hiding behind Dace now or maybe the ground should swallow me this instant.

But I did the only thing I could do, I moved closer to Dace until I was hugging his arm tightly and my gaze was lower.

"Ha, Alexander!"

I heard a voice and I shot my head up and saw the most gorgeous man approaching us, his dim golden locks were just breathtaking, was it possible to have such hair? and his eyes... were they contacts? I knew all too well that it wasn’t. I have seen many things and one of them was there was no way those eyes were fake, they are deadly real. And wait... did he just call Dace Alexander?

"You’re finally here, the guest of honor" he mused.

"Emma, this is Noah Dominguez, part of the Pride council and a close family to us" Dace introduced.

His golden brown eyes fell on me and I felt pinned, I should be relieved he has a smile on his lips as he watches me. I had no idea what to say, nice to meet you maybe?

"Ha you must be Emma Adams, our soon-to-be alpha Female" he stretched him to me and I did too hoping for a shake but he grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips and gave it a kiss, a chill ran through me and I felt Dace shifting uncomfortably.

"Forgive me I know this action of mine will get your Male stirred up but I’m a very classy man, a gentleman too"

I just forced a smile.

"Is she mute, Alex?"

I heard yet another voice and then a clicking of heels and a drop-dead gorgeous girl walked toward us, she looked like Noah, she had the same dim golden hair and it was kept in a classy bun like those movie stars you see at awards. Her eyes were golden brown too and had highlights, so beautiful that I could stare at them all day. Her dress was red and fitted her body shape perfectly like she was the perfect model and she had a white fur coat on, she looked the same age as Dace or younger but she was definitely classy.

"Are you mute, Emma Adams?" she mused.

"N-No" damn it! My voice came out jerky.

She snickered. "Then why do you look like you might bolt out of this place any second, do we scare you, Emma?"

"Isabella’’ Dace’s voice came in and she directed her eyes on Dace which softened and it made me wonder.

She clears her throat. "Where are my manners? I’m Isabella Dominguez,"

Dominguez? No wonder they look alike, she was his daughter.

"Emma Adams," I said with a smile on my lips hoping to act before she calls me mute again.

She leveled her eyes on my hand. I stretched out when I offered it to her for a handshake, I was beginning to think I did a stupid thing right now. But I noticed a small smile on her lips when she reached for it but...

"Ah Elias, Camille"

We turned our attention to Dace’s parents as they approached us, all dressed expensively looking and classy, it was even more difficult to tell these were Dace’s parents, Emilia came behind, stunning as always.

The moment our eyes connected I almost opened my mouth to murmur something but she quickly gave me a look not to and I shut my mouth.

"Emma" Camile said walking up to me with a smile on her lips and she did what I didn’t expect.

She gave me a hug.
