Chapter 67: Unexpected

I walked into my room, using the white towel on my hair, dressed in a simple shirt and sweatpants. Setting my eyes on my baby girl still asleep, a smile found my lips, her sleeping form was so cute, and did she just turn the covers upside down? The last time I set my eyes on her I was pretty sure I tucked her in, now the covers were turned to the other side, exposing her body.

The smile I had was prominent as I sauntered towards the bed and pulled the covers back on her. She will definitely catch a cold if she stays like that further, is this how she sleeps? Like a tiny rabbit? And was that drool on my pillow?

I held in the laugh that nearly erupted out of me, or I might wake her up, fuck she was so cute. My fingers trailed the strand of hair covering her face, to settle behind her ear, the action caused her to move and plunge her lip forward like she was pouting and a grin flashed on my lips.

I could watch this all day.

I walked out of my suite, hoping to fix her something to eat before she wakes up, although I wanted to watch her amusing sleeping form as best as I can but I figured she might be hungry.

I would have just ordered a maid to do it but I wanted to do it myself. But wait, what do humans eat? I wasn’t so sure meat was something she would agree to, I could find something that isn’t related to that.

"I knew I smelt something delicious"

I halted on my steps, hearing my sister’s voice, hand in my sweatpants, a sigh escaped me.

"You reek of her"

I whirled, my gaze up on the stairs she leaned on, with a smirk on her lips.

"Tell me..." she seemed more amused now. "Did you fuck her?"

"Emilia!"

"What?! That’s how it works, isn’t it? Why else do you smell like her, and I can read your thoughts you know, you’re being nau-" she paused as her eyes widened in realization, "Did you just block me?"

One good thing I was thankful I was able to do, but in our entire pack I was the one who had the power to block Emilia from reading my thoughts, it was a special trait I had as well as my father, it was a unique ability to shut down any mental links, it was part of being an Alpha Lion just like my dad.

"Yes, I did. And she’s human" I made sure I emphasized the word ’human’ so that she would get it in that thick skull of hers.

She rolled her eyes. "You’re only suffering yourself, Dace, you’re not supposed to be with her"

"I can’t help it," I remarked with gritted teeth.

She sighed, going over the stairs rather than climbing down from them, we do a lot of unnormal things in this house. She landed on her Crocs and stormed toward me with a deadpan look.

"Does she bear your mark?" She demands. Challenging my eyes with hers, that was a big mistake and she should know that, I growled deeply leaning my face down to hers, the mere sound that came from me, made the walls vibrate.

"Well?" she was still persistent, although I could sense the shaky tone lying behind.

"I would know" I spoke through my teeth which were already dropping in fangs.

"Then you should know Dace, she’s not your female, whatever you’re doing right now is gonna hurt you," she said, straightening her position and no longer intimating, folding her arms across her chest. "... and her too"

My ferocious features softened at her words, even though Emilia could be an annoying brat sometimes, she was always right. From the very moment when she found out I was getting attracted to a human, she warned me to turn a blind eye, but there was no freaking way I would do that, Emma was already growing on me. But the main shit till remains, she was not my female.

"Fuck it" I whirled.

"She knows everything... and I don’t need to read your mind to know that you haven’t told her that part"

My body tensed, yes I have told Emma all she needed to know, but there was still something left in the dark that I couldn’t bring myself to tell her. No matter how much I desired Emma and wanted her like she was the only thing on earth, I can’t completely have her.

"Fuck!"

I whirled back to her. "What?!"

"Mom and dad"

My eyes widened. "They are not supposed to be here until tomorrow" I growled.

"Seem like the plans changed"

On the cue of her words, we heard the door. Now things were definitely going sideways, I brought Emma here because I knew my parents wouldn’t be here, and they just had to come at this very moment and...

"Cubs!"

A mantra of fucks left my lips and Emilia was amused as ever, why does she always take pleasure in seeing me riffle with myself?

"They know," she said in a sing-tone voice, almost giggly.

We heard their footsteps coming and I got more tense than ever, until my mom came in sight, dressed in a red gown revealing all her curves and her wavy raven hair left down, a maid following behind her took her fur coat, before leaving.

Her light hazel eyes went back and forth between the two of us like we were caught doing something bad. "I smell something, tell me cubs, having friends over?" she asked with narrowed eyes.

"This particular friend does not have our scent" a more strong baritone voice came through.

"This will be interesting" Emilia murmured in amusement behind and I wanted to bite her so badly that I resisted.

The thud sound of footsteps came and a much taller mountain figure like me came through revealing my dad.
