Chapter 382: Avoiding War
EMMA
~
I listened to everything Tiger had to say and it was everything I expected, but I wasn’t so sure how long Grayson would keep his cool. Luther on the other hand was acting in the right mind as a leader, but Grayson let his impulse get to him and he might just fall into this trap and ss created by Dace.
They both might.
And I don’t want that... we can’t risk war with Dace, it’s like a death sentence, Dace has too much power and the vampires are foolish not to swallow their pride. That was why the eting was needed in the first place, a eting I had no idea how it went, not until Tiger told
just now, and just as expected the Lords were too stubborn to bury their egos and live.
The Lords were a Council created by the first Count and they held just as much power but ruled over the Count, but even I doubt that control sotis ever since the first ti I stayed a room with them during my introduction to the vampire society.
"Mistress?"
I darted my eyes to my cat’s hazel eyes. I forced a smile. "You did good finding
Tiger, your portal jumps are getting better" I praise him rubbing him just at the back of his ears where he loves it and he purrs.
Tiger gained the knowledge of speech as my powers grew over the years, I didn’t know much about having a Familiar but I knew Tiger was special in every way, even when his voice sounded like teenage boy but with deeper volu, a complete contrast to his age and his cute personality.
"That wound" he eased from my rub and settled his gaze on my shoulder where the awful bite was.
"It’s stopping
from using my powers... as long as it remains I can’t do anything"
At least the very one that will help
hold my ground.
"I have to go back and tell gingerhead and blondehead about your condition"
Did I ntion Tiger refers to everyone else by their hair color instead of their nas? I was the only exception in the sense that he calls
mistress, and I have pressured him to call
by my na but he ignores .
"I don’t know," I admit. My mind is swirling with many things.
"What do you an you don’t know?"
"Going back will give them more reason to co and we can’t let that happen"
"What do you have in mind?" he asked as his tail swayed behind him, an action he does whenever he is curious or tense.
I opened my mouth to reply but a harsh knock ca at the door.
"I heard noises"
Fuck! It’s Singe, he must have heard my yelp.
"Get under the bed and erase your aura" I instructed and Tiger simply nodded and rushed under it.
I had checked this room for caras on the first day here with a simple sensory magic I could conjure in this state so I was certain I wasn’t being watched. Even now there is a miniature sound barrier that will rid any werelion’s hearing.
I rushed to the door and yanked it open. "What noise?" I asked too sharply and he narrowed his eyes.
Okay, that was a mistake on my part.
He stepped in intruding as he scanned the room. "I heard a noise and then voices"
"Voices?"
He kept scanning and if he focused too much he might find Tiger.
"I tripped"
He faces .
"It’s embarrassing enough to admit,"
He cleared his throat.
"So that was the noise you heard earlier"
He nods and I resist taking a breath of relief but I am cautious he might get suspicious again so I ride on.
"So tell
Singe will I be thrown out of the guest room?"
"Depend on how Ms. Emilia’s attitude gets"
Her attitude will be wild alright, I know her that much but I don’t say it.
"Too bad... already getting to love this room," I said polling on the bed. "It’s better than staying close to your Alpha"
"Everyone has that impression of him" It wasn’t a warm talk from Singe, just a stated fact even if I didn’t realize it.
"The cold, distant, calculating Alpha"
He narrowed his eyes at my words almost like he was studying . I forced a smile.
"What? Don’t I describe your Alpha as best as I can?"
He said nothing, looking to the side. "I have t vampires, their bloodthirsty nature is like a second skin, but you seem more human than them"
I gulped. His words caught
off guard but I remained composed as the devious Countess.
"If it wasn’t for the bite on my shoulder I would have made you eat those words, Singe" I tried to threaten but he didn’t look fazed.
"You took down three of our own, you’re that much’’ Others might think it was an acknowledgnt but it wasn’t, I killed three of them, his brethren, so he definitely wasn’t pleased by that fact.
I didn’t an to kill them... but my icy blood is like a disease. I only ant to sedate them but I took their lives. My very nature is just bloodthirsty... so Singe should rephrase his words about
being human.
Sotis I want to drown myself in what I have beco but why do that when that part has always laid dominant within ? It took years to co to that realization.
"Now can you please get out I need privacy" My glamor changed instantly.
He said nothing else, just a curt nod allowing his eyes to scan the room before leaving. I gave a sigh of relief before locking the door behind him.
I faced Tiger who just bounced back on the bed. "Seems like you’re more of a guest here than a prisoner, mistress"
"Not sure how long it will last," I admitted. "I have a plan Tiger, a plan that will not lead to war"
"A plan?"
"I know my way and I will get myself out of this ss," I said sitting beside him. "In the anti I need you to count how many guards and the less place that has security"
He nods.
I already have my ticket out of here and I will take it. I just need to be cautious. I need to get out of the jaws of Dace Devereaux, it was better for the both of us.
