Chapter 319: Dance With The Werelions {3}

The hug was sort of... gratifying? I wasn’t expecting this at all, I thought she literally hates me after everything but that doesn’t seem to be the case, so what is?

"Mrs. Devereaux," I said the moment she broke the hug.

"Oh Please... how many times have I told you to call me Camille?" she said with a benevolent smile on her lips and I blushed.

My eyes darted to Elias, Dace’s dad, I definitely could not read his look so I settled for just gazing upon Camille, that was the only thing that made me comfortable.

"Been good?" she asked.

And I nodded with a small smile on my lips.

"Alright If you would excuse me, Emma needs some girly up," Emilia said, taking my hand. "Now if you would excuse me brother I will steal your Female for a few minutes"

I turned to Dace waiting for his approval, Dace has been awfully quiet since we got here and his features weren’t something I couldn’t read right now. He leaned to me and feeling his breath against my neck caused a chill to flood my body. I bit my bottom lip to hide back my moan because I wasn’t so sure even a silent moan will get unnoticed by all the werelions now. So I kept it in as best as I could even as my body ignited just by his simple gesture.

"Stay close to her, okay?"

I nodded and then he did something that startled me, this was Dace, when has he never done something that amazes me? He kissed my neck before parting from me and Emilia wasted no time in pulling me with her. I was still stuck in my frenzy of ecstasy as Emilia led me up the stairs, it took some minutes before I was back to earth and I heard Emilia ranting.

"Really Emma? Were you about to ask me about Grayson? Have you forgotten our enhanced hearing?"

"I didn’t want to say, just mouth it"

She stops and faces me. "Don’t take that risk okay?" she warned.

A smile found my lips.

"Dare I ask why you’re smiling?"

"You look beautiful"

She rolled her eyes about speaking but I caught her off as I gave her a hug.

"I miss you"

"I bet you missed Dacey more" she mused and I giggled pulling away from the hug.

"Now tell me, why the fuck do you look like this?"

"What?"

"I mean the dress is drop-dead gorgeous on you but really? No makeup?"

I opened my mouth to speak but I shut them, I guess there wasn’t really any excuse I could give not to Emilia.

"You have to look your best tonight!" she says dragging me all the way to her room and it was prep-up time.

She dolled me all up and I randomly begged her to make it light.

"Dace might like you on whatever you wear or how you look but this is a party and your first appearance to the werelions world you have to show them you’re a diamond"

I rolled my eyes. "I didn’t come here to get any approval I only came here to prove that I love Dace"

"Aww so sweet," she says but it wasn’t heartwarming. "Now stay still" I did as she applied the final touch to my makeup and gave way so that I would look at myself in the mirror, I gasped.

"Wow, Emilia, what did you do?" I said, staring at myself and hardly recognizing what I see.

"What you should have done the first time. Now Dacey won’t take his eyes off you I concede" she smirks. And I blushed. "Now for your hair, what the fuck is this Emma," she says to my hair with a frown.

And I gave her a sweet smile. "That is why I have you"

"Ugh," she growled and began working on it.

"Is it me or is this suit tight for me"

We both heard a voice and Grayson came in view"

"Grayson," I said but Emilia sat me back down.

"Hey," he says walking to us.

"Wow, you look..." I trailed... seeing the corporate suit he had on. "Are you wearing a waistband?" I teased.

"Well according to Emilia I have to blend in with the servants"

"You won’t do well as a guest," Emilia said while working on my hair.

"Hmm" he only made a sound and I snorted a laugh.

"Don’t be scared Emma, he’s safe as long as he blends well with servers and does not cause attention" she says the last part facing him like a warning and I could definitely see the worry in her eyes, she didn’t want Grayson here just as much as I did.

"You have said that the 10th time," Grayson said, adjusting his tie.

"I hope you know Emma isn’t the only one who’s worried about you"

He said nothing.

"I will keep my eyes on Emma," he said.

"Be safe" I mumbled and he walked out of the room.

"Grumpy" I heard Emilia mumble.

"And you are too," I mused and she rolled her eyes.

"You know," she began. "My mom doesn’t hate you, I could tell that was what you were thinking when she hugged you"

"Was I that obvious?"

"Just to me" she shrugged. "She likes you actually, from the very first time but she’s just worried about Dace, his future, and yours that is why she was part of Dace rejecting you, she feels it what best for the both of you"

"She’s worried about the bloodline isn’t she?" I said, sighing.

She huffs. "Bloodline is the least of the topic now, Dace has mated you, you belong to him as well as he belongs to you and they can’t change that, destroying the bond now will only crumble the both of you and I’m sure she doesn’t want that"

"She wanted to stop it before it got to this point?"

"Exactly" she nods. "But now... I don’t think there is any stopping it, Dace can’t stop either now"

I nervously mingled with my fingers. "Um the Dominguez calls Dace... Alexander?"

"Yeah that is his Alpha given name and definitely the name you should call him,"

I paused. "W-What... really?"
