Chapter 352: I Will Always Choose You, Emma Adams
DACE
~
That look in her beautiful eyes... looking at
like I’m about to fade away and never co back. It twisted the organ in my chest and I got disturbed, a growl was threatening to leave
right now and the blood within
overheated to the point I might actually explode. The need to growl, shift, fuck, my emotions were a fucking ss, the pieces are broken already and I was trying as much as I could to hold in place.
Emma is right... I’m trying as much as I can to stay coordinated. I was holding back because I didn’t want to scare her away with my aggressiveness. I’m trying as much as I can to act normal.. to be normal. But she saw right through that, she could tell I was acting on guard. I’m careful because he took all the self-control I had not to rip her clothes in the middle of the forest and fuck her senseless like a damn beast.
Shit, shit, shit! Think normal for once Dace!
But these past few days in the wild and Rogues in my head I don’t even know how to act normal, I have been in my werelion form until recently when I set my eyes on my baby girl. I can’t explain how exactly I felt right at that mont. Joy, panic, fear, all a mix because she should be out of town but yet she ca to find
alone in the damn forest.
How did she even co here? On foot or by car?
More importantly what actual fuck was Emilia thinking? Letting her go off on her own into a forest filled with Rogues? The Rogues don’t know her scent yet and they might have attacked her if I didn’t co on ti, they will have to learn how to mark her scent because if they so much as lay her hands on them I will beco an insane Alpha who destroyed his clan.
The sooner they learned her scent the better, she was their future lioness after all.
"Emma" I began as calmly as I could after she said words that made my heart sink. I don’t want us to argue that was the last thing I wanted but at the sa ti I can’t abandon the Rogues, I have been inside their heads enough to know what they feel, they need soone to lead them, that was why as soon as they sense my awakening they ca to challenge
to see if I was worthy of that. And now they are clinging to
like a moth to a fla, it’s annoying but they won’t leave even if I tell them to.
My dad’s drastic plan worked apparently. As much as I hated him right now and wanted nothing more than to do justice for the damage he caused, I understood what he did but he went too far.
He ford so stupid alliance with the vampires and brought harm to my Female and Juneau, and he wiped the Venatores from the face of this earth when they let their guard down and because of what he did I have to put him down, that’s how it works, I will have to handle it before the Pride council get involved.
The only person I was worried about in this was my mom, she won’t take this well when he finds out her son plans to rip her husband’s head off. My dad knew the consequence of his actions so he had to deal with it.
I took a step forward to my female but she backed away. What the fuck? Seeing my look she leveled her eyes. Now she’s mad at
even more than before. I ran my hand through my outgrown hair nervously. The words she said are still banging in my head like a damn curse.
’You would choose them over ?’
I would never dream of that, neither is that my intention, she will always co first but the Rogues... the fucking Rogues! I might be a bloody beast but I have a heart... that spell she ntioned, if she succeeded in rewriting my DNA back to what it was, what would happen to them?
But then again they ca because of the call of my genes but they accepted
because of my fearlessness so it wasn’t entirely because of my Rogue blood, they recognized
because of the bravery and bloody instinct I gave.
So that ans...
"I’m sorry, alright? I don’t justify what my dad did I just wanted you to understand , that’s all"
Her forest green eyes went back to mine and I lted, I wanted her eyes on
only.
"I’m scared"
"I know" I closed the distance between us and she made no move.
Good... I want her in my arms and nowhere else in the world.
"The spell" I began sighing in defeat. "How does it work?"
"I-I read it can rewrite your DNA and make it back to how it was... You don’t need to worry about this dark part of yourself taking over"
The dark part of myself that craved blood and stimulation like a second skin... if Emma is scared of that fact then I’m utterly terrified because I don’t know what I might do or when I will be totally deep into this. Emma is the only string keeping
together.
It has always been her. Even when I was in my Rogue form, even when I was reaching a point of no return I thought of only her. Emma is the only light I need and she is all I will ever need, without her I’m a walking nace to this new side of .
But she found a way and instead of deciding what next I try to bring the Rogues in... do I want this new part of myself? The answer is no... because it ans I will live the rest of my life fearful of what I will beco or I might one day hurt Emma, which will rip
apart to pieces.
"I have been selfish this past week, there is no need to apologize" she began. "I had a chance to warn my clan about the Rogues and protect Juneau in so but I was narcissistic and chose you" She looked at
with glassy eyes and I felt like my heart would give out, I hugged her carefully not to do it too tight in fear I might break her.
I have never been scared of my own strength because I was taught control, but right now my greatest fear was hurting this girl in my arms. I’m a sorry excuse of a Male to her, and I feel like punching myself for making that suggestion.
"I will always choose you, Emma Adams, That makes
even more selfish than you" I pulled, wiping the little tears that stread down her cheeks with my thumb. "Let’s end this shall we?"
"Are you sure?" she sobbed.
"I don’t know if it will affect the control I have over the Rogues, they might leave or stay. But I have a feeling their bonding with
is..." I didn’t know how to put it, they were like pets and I’m the owner? I don’t know.
"You truly want to help them"
"Yes"
"I will help too"
I smiled. "I know you will... now" I trailed, backing away. "Shall we?"
She gave
a small smile. "Do you trust ?"
"Always baby girl, I love you"
"I love you too" she blushed, reaching for a paper from the back of her pocket. "I made sure it was translated and I read through it many tis" she explains as her eyes scanned through it.
"Emma"
"Hmm?"
"The price"
"It will only hurt"
My teeth clenched, She can’t do big spells, it takes a toll on her body.
"And it’s a white spell"
"aning?"
"I don’t need to worry about my body, the effects are lesser"
"I don’t think-"
"Dace, please relax, alright?"
I gulped. "Fine"
She set the paper down and faced , rubbing her palms on her shorts. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and muttered alien languages.
I studied her closely for any change on her body, I don’t care about my fucking DNA as long as she doesn’t get hurt or else I gonna stop this.
The lights in the house began to flicker but Emma remained concentrated the whole ti. There was heavy energy taking over the area and causing the hairs at the back of my neck to stand.
But the mont I saw the blood trail down her nose and a strangled groan ca off her amidst chanting... I wanted to damn it all.
I took one step forward but that was when an unbearable pain hit
and I fell to one knee instantly. The pain was unlike anything I had ever felt, it was coming from my mark on the left side of my chest.
It’s burning!
