Chapter 344: You’re Crazy

OWEN

~

After hearing everything I cannot believe my fucking ears, was she really saying this to my face? She can’t be for real, right? But seeing her glassy eyes on the verge of spilling tears I knew some fucked up shit is going down and I didn’t have the faintest idea. She knows and yet she kept this from me, her clan!

I wanted to explode at her face, the whole of Juneau is in fucking danger, everyone was hanging on a thin thread because of the Rogues here, the Rogues were in town, something way scarier than the werelion’s themselves, the twisted nature of that beast kind, are here in Juneau. I do not know what to make of this but I knew I was on the verge of going crazy.

Was she for real right now? She kept her mouth shut about this and for what? Because she knew that if shit goes down Dace will be left out, the guy technically waked into the face of Rogues like the crazy bastard he is... there is no chance he will survive. I still don’t get what she is thinking in that head of hers, does this have to do with that Female and Male bond? Because if it is, it’s definitely messing with her brain.

"Emma... do you realize what you’re doing?"

And there was that look again, her eyes were puny red and I knew she had been crying her eyes off and the bags under them, had she gotten any sleep? And what... for that beast? I can’t take it anymore! Here I’m worrying my ass off about her life and there she is ruining for a beast. Everything about her has changed ever since she decided to let that beast take her heart and for what? Danger, pain, panic? He can’t love her right, because they are two worlds apart, when she is going to see that?

How much more risk is she gonna take?

"I-I-I’m sorry, it’s selfish of me I know" she sobbed. Jesus, was she going to cry right now? I can’t handle that. Others can’t see it but I can... something is eating Emma up from the inside out, it’s slowly killing her and I know who is the benefactor of that pain. She doesn’t deserve any of this, this is some toxic shit!

"It’s not me you will have to apologize to"

"You must think I’m crazy"

"Yes you’re" I interjected instantly without having a second thought and I stand by what I said, this is going too far, she can’t handle this alone. When she is gonna see that no matter how she tries there is no way this between her and Dace will work? They have different blood and that has never set well in history. I once told her that even if our clan doesn’t separate them the blood will. It’s as concrete as that and there is no other way around it.

But she can’t see that... she never does, she’s completely blinded by Dace, it’s unhealthy and now she’s not even thinking straight, it was time to put a stop to this once and for all, Emma has a whole life to live for herself and with Dace, she can’t do that.

She might hate me for this for the rest of her life but I will deal with that, that will be my punishment. I will take any risk as long as she’s separated from that fucker. I knew if her aunt or mom was here they would understand what I have to do, it was all for her sake.

"Fine, I will help you"

Hope instantly flashed in her eyes and my stupid heart tugged in my heart, there was something about that green eyes of hers whenever they weren’t clouded in darkness, right now with the light glittering in them, I wanted it to stay forever, and I knew instantly that I would do anything to let her have her light, not drown it in darkness by some beast who knew only how to torment her heart.

"But you said I’m crazy," she said and then doubt clouded her eyes. She looks cute right now with that expression, staring at me like I was about to steal something from her.

A smile tugged my lips. "I said you’re crazy that doesn’t mean your plan is"

"My plan... is okay?"

"Risky yes, because the whole of Juneau is in danger and you kept your mouth shut about that, they don’t gamble with people’s lives because of some sick romance" Great now I sound like an old man, but if it knocks some sense into her, I don’t mind becoming one.

"I know... and I hate myself for it, but thinking about it... knowing when I tell the clan the only option is to run and Dace gets left behind, he only has me and I can’t just leave him"

"He has his whole clan, isn’t he like the heir or something? You don’t get to weigh all that when he has people"

"Then his own dad did this to-" She instantly paused before she could finish the sentence and I narrowed my eyes.

I knew no doubt there was much more about this explanation that she left out, but I have heard enough, enough to know that if this goes as I planned, Emma will be free from Dace forever.

"I get you Emma, but I don’t want you wasting your life like that"

"I’m not.." she mumbled. "I just love one guy, it’s not a sin"

"Hmm," I nodded my head. "Tell me with no Female or Male bond or whatever shit they fed you with, will you still look me in the eye and say that?"

"Owen... Dace and I have been together before we even knew that and yet he cares for me before all this bond. Bond or not I will always love Dace"

Okay, that hurts like shit but I’m not about to say that, I can’t show it because I promise myself I will be just a good friend to her, I knew what happened last time when I crossed the line.

"Fine then... let’s save your beast boyfriend"
