Chapter 321: Dance With The Werelions {5}

DACE

~

I watched as Emilia led Emma out claiming she needed a girly up. She looks perfect to me and I was refraining from myself right now, ever since I laid my eyes on her in that tight dress my thoughts were set on the blaze. Hell if I wanted we wouldn’t have come but I knew Emma wanted to do this. God I wish I didn’t tell her about this but she pushed me, she didn’t let me touch her until I agreed, I only told her the part she needed to know and not what I was mentally dealing with my damn lion.

I haven’t shifted for weeks and I was getting agitated by the second, our make out session back at the lab was something I didn’t plan but it ended up happening and I was a bit surprised my lion didn’t try anything funny as it did with the claws, it seemed calm at that moment but not completely, I guess I still have a little control on it.

I was glad.

"She’s very beautiful, Alexander"

I darted my eyes to Isabella who gave me a genuine smile.

"More like a scared cat, I could hear her heartbeat from across the room," Noah said amused

"What do you expect, Noah? She’s in a mansion filled with werelions. And cub where is your tie?" My mom asked at the last minute of her words.

"I don’t do tie," I said firmly.

Isabella giggled at my words. "Every time, even when we were kids, the occasions are always non-classy because of your look" she mused.

"I’m always classy," I shrugged.

"Elias, don’t be so uptight you didn’t even greet Emma," My mom said to my dad who had been quiet the whole time.

"Believe it or not Elias, your son has mated a half-witch, who are we to decline?" Noah said.

"I was expecting my son to be more clever about it," he finally said. "And then he went ahead and completed his claim"

"I’m not changing my mind no matter what you do," I said back to him, I guess this is not the time to play silent.

He narrowed his eyes at my words. "What about her clan? Her family?"

I looked to the side. "We give them time"

"I wonder how you intend to manage this cub, this is what I have been avoiding from the very beginning"

"To the point, you planned to make me reject her?!"

"That’s enough Dace" my mom snapped. "The both of you. Please we’re here to welcome Emma into this family and not criticize their relationship, and Elias" my mom faces him and he finally sets his eyes on him. "We both know rejecting isn’t the right call right now, rather we should choose to make peace with the witch clan about this"

"Bloodline has always been their focus, they chose to remain pure even for a thousand years, OUR kind has remained pure and now we have a witch in the family, tell me sweetheart what future could you possibly see for the both of them?"

"I see hope" Isabella spoke and we turned our attention to her. "To be honest I was skeptical when I found out Alexander had mated," she says. I could sense a hint of sadness in her tone. "Maybe this is a sign from the gods or a new path for us, that two bloodlines can mix"

"I have long lost faith in the gods since they abandoned us, they left us to our fate and ravish themselves in their realm, let them be and we focus on building our empire only," Noah said scornfully.

"We shouldn’t just look at that physically because I sniff something even greater between the two of you, isn’t that right Alexander," she says, keeping her eyes on me.

Isabella might have the same special ability to detect a scent at an even more powerful range like me but her own bloodline makes hers unique, she can sniff down to the even smallest detail.

"Emma has a strong intoxicating scent to her, and something else..." she added with narrow eyes.

"What do you mean?" I demand.

"Now shall we enjoy the party, enough talk of what is what, we have set our eyes on young Alexander mate let our clan enjoy that," Noah said walking ahead to get a drink.

"Elias," my mom said to my dad.

He said nothing as he walked away and my mom followed.

"I’m surprised your dad is calm the entire time, but his aura is enough to suffocate everyone here"

"I wonder why, he knows he can’t do anything now"

She smiled as she grabbed two wine glasses of champagne from the waiter passing by and gave me one which I took.

"What do you mean there is a different scent to Emma"

"You’re her male you should know" she shrugged.

"Like you said Emma has a very intoxicating scent it’s hard"

"You still haven’t trained that nose of yours better I see" she teased.

"Isabella"

She sighed and shrugged once again. "She’s a half-witch isn’t she?"

"Yes"

"And the other part of her?"

"Human" I frowned.

"Hmm" she sips from her champagne. "I sniff something but I’m not entirely sure and..." her eyes scanned. "There’s someone here too who smells just like her"

Can she sniff Grayson? That is not possible.... Grayson is supposed to be odorless. And then again I have forgotten how powerful Isabella’s special ability is.

"Tell me Alexander, is there someone I don’t know about that you invited to the party?"

I said nothing but I figured my silence gave her the answer.

"Hmm and this person shares the same scent as Emilia, why?"

"Isabella"

"I like to have fun Alexander, you know that"

I pinned her down with my looks.

"Easy there Alpha. If I want to get my revenge on Emma for stealing you away from me I will rat him out" she said like a thought. "But that will be boring"

"You HAVE changed"

She shrugged.

"The Isabella I know would have done that in a heartbeat. When we were children and I get in trouble you always rat me out without hesitation"

"Now that was fun..." she winked as leaned toward me, her expensive cologne filling my nose.

"I sniff something within you, Alexander, you might have kept it a secret from your family but I can see it"
