Chapter 327: Jealous Or Angry

EMILIA

~

I was angry... no I was furious, what the fuck was he thinking?! I told him to lay low, that was the only way I could protect him. What he just pulled off was insane. He was lucky I dismissed Gonzalo because for some reason I could feel Grayson’s bloodlust. He might be smiling on the surface but I knew he was up to something.

"What the fuck were you thinking?" I snapped at him silently so I could knock some sense into him, he can’t afford to be careless right now.

He said nothing and his smile was gone, he just stared down at me with a blank expression.

"Just trying to offer the guy a drink" he shrugged like it was nothing but the look in his eyes told me otherwise, he nearly blew his cover just because he wanted to offer a... drink? Bullshit!

"I would be crazy to believe what you just said" I folded my arms on my chest and raised an eyebrow.

"You two seemed awfully close"

There it was... I could hint at it in his voice, he sounded... jealous?

"Wait, are you jealous?" I mused.

He rolled his eyes. "We should keep our distance, don’t want to draw attention now right?" he says, marching away from me and I bit my bottom lip. He didn’t look like he wanted to serve anymore, because he dropped the tray and strolled out of the place. Before I could even think I was already automatically following him.

"Grayson!" I yelled but he didn’t stop. "Stop acting stupid, you have to be close to me so that I can keep an eye on you,"

And the blockhead didn’t... he was just fixated on walking away, does he know how dangerous it is for him to walk alone? Ugh! He was making things extremely difficult.

"I promise Emma," I said halting and he did too. I knew there was one thing he would listen to and that was definitely it. "You don’t want her worried right? This is her night don’t ruin it for her by putting yourself in danger"

He ran his hand through his blond hair and I loved as they bounced as they did. He faced me.

"You think I’m happy?" He began almost like he was frustrated. "That fucking werelion had his hand all over you and-" he cut himself off and gritted his teeth almost realizing what he just said out loud like he did not intend it.

"Okay," I nod. "You’re angry I get it... it’s only neutral and-"

"It’s all this mate bond isn’t it"

I narrowed my eyes at his choice of words. "Not everything is about the mate bond, Grayson"

"Hmm," he nods like he doesn’t believe it. "Okay so by some unknown god or whatever to your people you’re all blessed with a partner for life and they are subjected to love you forever? That’s superstitious if you ask me"

"I don’t think you get the point here... yes it’s a blessing from gods or whatever it was in history about a fated partner, but it doesn’t force people to be together, only if they are meant to be" I explained and my heart dropped, I knew where all this was going, Grayson hasn’t come in terms with what we share, he thinks it’s not real.

"You might not believe this but don’t you think the way you’re acting is stupid?"

He snapped his eyes to me.

"You’re basically saying what Emma shares with Dace is not real"

"I did not say that" he interjected, taking a step closer to me.

"No" I shake my head. "You did" I mumbled but I knew he heard me. "You don’t have to believe it if you don’t want to... Okay maybe it’s a falsehood of fate given to us but..." I poked his chest with my finger. "What Emma and Dace share is far from the bond, they fall in love way before she was marked," I clenched my teeth at my last words. "It’s real" I pressed his chest and he just stared down at me but I could tell he was regretful with his choice of words but that doesn’t change the fact that he meant what he did and he very well believed it.

"You’re just stupid enough to believe it is," I said turning on my heels, he can be alone if he wants to, I don’t care.

But a hand grabbed my arm and yanked me back to him until I stumbled into his arms.

"I didn’t mean it like that,’’ he began, sounding hurt. "Yes I’m stupid for what I said, I know what Emma and Dace have is real and not forged on a..." he sighed heavily.

"But you don’t just believe it don’t you" I clenched my hand on his shirt and gripped it tightly. "Because you think what you and I share is forged on the bond don’t you"

He said nothing and looked to the side. I huffed.

"Yeah sure" I pulled away from him. "What we had was none other than the mate bond and we both acted on impulse and has the craziest sex ever"

"Emilia" his tone was in a warning.

"But that is what it was isn’t it?" I poked his chest again. "That is what you feel, isn’t it? The girl you had your first time with should have been a whim but rather you found out she’s destined to be yours forever and you don’t wanna come to terms with that"

"That was not what it was!" he boomed.

And I huffed again.

"Need I remind you who thought of it as just a fling"

My expression dropped. "I-I didn’t mean it like that-"

"But you did! Tell me I’m just a quick fuck to you just like the rest of the guys you have been with"

"No," I said sternly. "Maybe you want to think that way because you want it to be just a whim and-"

*Loud Clash Sound*

It came so suddenly and then before we knew it we were both looking out the balcony. That was when I sniffed it in the air, this smell, enough to turn my stomach, but vampires smelt worse than that. This was something else, something I was all too familiar with, and something that I had sniffed on Dace not too long ago.

Please tell me this is not what I think it is...
