Chapter 432: Back To The Mansion

DACE

~

This outing went further than I expected, it was meant to buy some time but things escalated and before I knew it I had my cock down her throat. I knew Emma craved freedom, that was one of the reasons why I brought her out here, it may not be intentional but it was sure the target and because of my pending plan.

Emma seemed to enjoy this glimpse of freedom and I could see it in her eyes, the familiarity also. There was no doubt she had been to Juneau before and maybe even lived here for some time. How can a chaotic beauty live in this town and I’ve never met her? I have lived in Juneau all my life and I have never for once come across a woman such as this.

A woman that has her demons just like I did, there are many and I wondered what created them in the first place, what caused these demons to hunt her dreams and also her reality, even right now as she stared at the sea, the darkness looming over it because of the night, I could see her eyes trembling, and her body followed too.

She’s truly scared of it and I wondered what caused her fears of water, of the darkness and the coldness.

"I will destroy you first before you ruin me, Alpha Devereaux"

My jaw ticks, she still prefers to call me by that name and she knows it gets on my nerves each time, well I have a counter for it.

"Is that a challenge, Baby girl? I’m happy to accept"

She faces me with a glare and I love the fire that dances in her green orbs, it makes me question every single thing about my life, she’s getting under my skin in both an alluring way and an annoying one, she’s giving cracks to my wall I have built around myself, let’s see how fast she can scratch through them.

I checked my watch.

"Time to go"

She whined and it was unexpected, her lips pouting. This is the cutest I have ever seen but I wasn’t having it.

"Stop being a brat and let’s go"

"Whatever" she mumbled and gave a distance before showing me two middle fingers, I wanted to punish her for that but that will wait because we’re already late.

"Get your ass in the car or I drown you"

She gasped in surprise, I wasn’t joking but I wasn’t intending on drowning her either, maybe do something further to get her to behave.

"Fuck you!" she barked and stormed to the car like the good girl she is. I shook my head making my way to the car myself and slid in, pushing the button to start the car.

"Seat belts"

That smile came again, I wondered why but I chose to ignore it, making a drive out of the waterfront and into the lonely road. She did that thing with her hands again, dancing them around the wind like a curious creature. I purposely rolled the car roof back because she seemed to enjoy the wind a lot.

The silence was comfortable and not speaking was more peaceful, it was better this way, a few moments of peace before the storm. I couldn’t help the smile twitching to form on my lips, but I remained composed until the mansion was in sight.

She gave a heavy sigh as I drove into the garage and stopped the car.

"Get down we’re gonna be late"

"Late for what? And the bags?"

"Someone will get them," I said, keeping the boot open and mindlinking someone to get the bags.

Emma remained rooted to her position with a frown and folded arms, cute but not convincing enough, so I grabbed her by the arm and dragged her with me, enjoying every bit of her curses yelled at me, both in Italian and English.

When we got to the lobby I grabbed her by both arms and faced her to me. "Behave", a simple word and command.

"Asshole"

"If you curse me one time so help me-"

"Alpha" Singe came through.

I yanked her petite frame to me and whispered in her ear. "That’s 10 spanks for every curse I had to endure, one more and I will make it 15"

Her eyes automatically went wide and I couldn’t fight the grin now.

"They are here, Alpha"

I instantly wiped my grin off and made my expression as stoic as a hardened stone, Emma was quick to see the change in my glamor and she narrowed her eyes in suspension.

"Who’s here, Alpha Devereaux?"

I dragged her further with me and into the hall.

"Glad you could make it Luther Zalatoris"

"You left me no choice Alpha Devereaux," Luther said in a stern tone, hands in his slacks pocket, about five vampires behind him and three of mine around.

Briefly, his gaze shifted to Emma, who remained frozen by my side and her eyes wide.

"You called and we answered because you said you wanted to talk"

"Yes," I said.

"What are you doing here?" Emma whispered. "You shouldn’t be here Luther"

He smiled. "Of course, I had to be, a chance to see you"

She shook her head before facing me. "What are you doing?!" she snapped her eyes running with many questions, but I just kept my expression unreadable.

"I have to hand it to you Luther... you’re brave to walk into Werelion’s territory"

"You said no war if I come and you know me Dace... avoiding the end of my race is always my number one priority, you have driven me to a corner, even a leader will be foolish enough not to see that"

"Yes... your race is more important to you, isn’t it? More important than your countess" I faced him. "As a royal preserving your bloodline is always the first"

"Yes"

"Is that why you never bothered to come for her? Enough not to risk an all-out war?"

That smile remained plastered on his lips and I gave him the opposite, I wasn’t here to play games.

"What do you want Dace? If not my race as it shows in this meeting, what is it?"

"I want something..."

"Something?"

"Something your very clan has tried to hide right under my very nose..." It was my turn to smirk this time. "And that gift will spare your race from extinction"

"What gift?" he frowned.

"Your hybrid or better yet... Emma"
