Chapter 461: Our Nightmare

EMMA

~

I felt something wet running through my neck, the pain there felt sore but it was slowly going away as the wet content kept rubbing against it. I stirred awake and tried to move but I was locked in place by strong arms holding me firm and close to his bare chest. I tried shifting but I couldn’t.

"Dace," I said sleepily but I got a groan in response. Feeling more of the wet content licking my skin. Is that his tongue? It feels like because it’s so warm against my skin, sending shivers down my body and straight to my core, my arousal hanging in the air. "W-What are you doing?"

"Healing your wound" he mumbled before going back to it. I didn’t realize there was one after Isabella tried to break my neck.

"I-It won’t work"

"It is"

I flashed my eyes open.

"Can’t escape from this one now, this is another proof I need. Mark or no mark"

I gulped.

"You’re my female, Emma," he said to my ear, his warm breath flushing against it. "Fucking mine" he sounded proud and the growl rumbling deep in his chest told me so. "So why do you keep doubting it?"

"I am not doubting" I moaned because he pulled me more into him until I could feel his fully erect cock pressing against my ass. "It’s just too good to be true"

"You’re keeping something from me, baby. I can feel it, it’s messing with my head"

"I thought you said you wouldn’t ask unless I want to talk about it"

"I’m not asking about your scar. There’s something else and it all has to do with your pain and regret. It comes up in your eyes all the time"

I tried to move away but he only held me tighter. "Don’t" he warned and a chill ran through me. "You can feel it too, don’t you? I feel like my head is about to split in two. I keep seeing fragments I can’t explain in dreams"

Oh no! Are his memories coming back? But that is impossible. Everything was erased not just by the mate bond but by Cassius’ blessing. But our bond is returning, could this be he will remember too?

"You’re scared again"

I gulped.

"Emma"

"You don’t understand"

"Then make me understand"

I forced his grip away so that I could turn and then I straddled him. He held my waist to keep me firm. "I can’t," I confessed. Because it’s not just something he can just understand. I rolled my waist and rubbed against his bulge. He groaned.

"Don’t distract me, Emma," he warns.

"Are you going somewhere today?"

"House Dominguez," he said with gritted teeth, his pupils dilated from hunger. "Emma-"

"I am going with you" I suddenly announced.

"No" his answer was quick and firm. "You don’t have to"

"I am your Lioness"

"Yes you’re but you can’t handle it"

"I will try" My breath quickened as I continued rolling my waist, Dace’s grip on my waist squeezed so tight he might break skin but he held back.

I stopped, lifting my hips, and pulled his shorts down to free his thick cock. I wore no panties so it was a one-way trip as I buried his cock inside me. Dace moaned deeply and his chest vibrated along with it.

"Fuck baby, you’re already ready for me, so fucking wet and milking my cock"

I moaned giving a slow thrust and he didn’t hurry me, just allowing me to do what I wanted.

"If I don’t show my face what will they think?" I said with frantic breathing. "You want me by your side and that is exactly where I will stay" I picked up my pace. "Don’t treat me like a child and don’t treat me like I am weak either" I pant suddenly lost for words as I reeled in the feeling of his thick cock inside me, stretching my walls and making me go insane.

"Giving me orders now... like the brat you are" he rasped with a grin. "I like that" he slammed up into me until I shuddered. He slapped my ass harshly and the sound echoed around. "That is for getting under my nerves" he kept spanking me as I rode his cock and I didn’t know if I should cry or yelp in pleasure so I did both. But it wasn’t from pain, it was just from the shooks flying through my body.

"I’m cumming!" I rasped but he stopped abruptly as he tossed me to the bed, my ass in the air and he grabbed it harshly and slammed into me from behind. I came instantly but that didn’t stop his thrust, it only motivated him to fuck me like a wild animal.

He pulled me so that my back rested against his chest as he kept pumping into me. "I am trying to be patient with you, Emma" he begins sounding angry and aroused at the same time, the desire dripping from his harsh tone. "Whatever is happening to me right now... these emotions I suddenly have, this tightening to my chest, everything that has happened between us, it’s no mere coincidence Emma"

My lips were apart but no word or sound came off me as he kept wrecking my world like he owned it and he does.

"You’re scared even when I am with you, what else do I have to do to fuck it away? If this..." he slammed into me harshly and I shook from the sheer force of it. "... can take it away then what?"

"I don’t know, I swear," I said desperately.

"Why?" he growled.

I was close again and he slowed his thrust making me go insane at the loss of elevation taking over my body.

"Because the past isn’t just my nightmare, it’s ours"

The ride to the estate of House Dominguez didn’t take long. I was nervous all the way not just because of where we are but because Dace hasn’t said anything to me. I kept trying to mindlink with him but it didn’t work. He shut me out of his thoughts. I can’t even feel angry because I have no right to. I was keeping the truth away from him.

But it was the only way. Maybe he keeps trying to remember because of my haywire emotions, and that was the trigger too. There is no way I can bring myself to tell him the truth. I can’t.

We met Noah on the balcony, he rose to his feet when he saw us, sparing me a glance before looking over to Dace. He swallowed hard before casting his gaze down.

Is that guilt?

"I am sure you have heard the news Alpha, Jack has been caught"

I snapped my head towards Dace who didn’t tell me anything. But I guess it happened because of whatever silent treatment was going on between us.

"I heard and he’s being dealt with accordingly" Dace said only and hearing his voice caused a chill to find my body.

"Turns out he has planned to take Diana’s life for a long time"

"I did not come here to talk about the threat on Diana," Dace said. "Look at her" he urges but he doesn’t. "Look at her" his voice was a warning and Noah finally looked at me, I couldn’t read his features but it wasn’t hostile towards me. He looks... scared.

Wait... why do I get this feeling? Realization found me.

"You sent her didn’t you?" I said sharply. Of course, it makes sense now.

"Why?" I guess I shouldn’t even bother to ask. Isabella didn’t just come on her own to get me killed, it was both their plan, he was in on it.

"Do you hate me for killing your daughter?" the moment the words came out of my mouth I regretted it. I swallowed. "That was a foolish thing to ask"

"My house is doomed for treason, hate is only just a simple factor right now," he said.

"Noah Dominguez you’re stripped of your house and everything you own. That is your price for your treason. Death will be wasted on you" Dace said with gritted teeth, I could feel his aura erupting. "I want you to lose everything... knowing you’re helpless to stop it"

~

"Dace," I said after an hour of silence in the car. "Why aren’t you speaking to me?"

"I am now" he answers.

"Is it because of what I said?" I bite my bottom lip as my nerves strike me. I am still shaken by what happened with House Dominguez. I guess it was part of the result of what happened at the meeting. I didn’t expect Noah to stoop so low to get back at me. Isabella didn’t hesitate to take action into her own hands either. It all narrows down to the opposition party against me being Lioness, only House Dominguez showed their disapproval and now they have been dealt with. The rest voted for me.

"I would like to see Diana before we leave," I said facing Dace who now had his eyes closed with the back of his head resting on the headrest on the seat.

"If that’s what you want, after that we’re going to the airport"
