Chapter 391: Tempting Fla {1}
EMMA
~
Sothing flashed in Dace’s eyes the mont I replied but it was quickly written off with the sa emotionless features of his.
The last thing I rember was being caged by his beast form and the rest was blurry, I think I must have hit my head or sothing because I don’t rember anything else aside from that. Having that thought in mind I rubbed the back of my head, there was no ache so I assud I must have healed.
His gaze remained on
and he didn’t even blink for a second. It beca unsettling because it looked like he wanted to unravel my secrets with his piercing gaze like he wanted to see the very inside of .
I thought that very mont when he cornered
in his beast form would be my last.
"Why didn’t you kill ?"
"Why did you escape?" he countered back ignoring my question.
"You kidnapped
and you want to use
in your sick ploy, forgive
for running away. Alpha Devereaux" I said with a touch of sarcasm in my tone.
His lips twitched in a smile.
He looked oddly calm compared to how he reacted earlier. He brought
back to the mansion and his room... it had changed and the familiarity was little, it looked wider and grand but that didn’t stop the mories that flooded in.
The ti we would sleep together on this bed as he held
in his arms, the ti we would kiss and he would touch , so many mories fighting their way into my head even though I don’t want them to.
"Have you been to Juneau before?"
I was snapped out of my head by his question. "N-No"
Shit! I let myself slip and he will know I lied.
"Why did Luther make you his Countess?"
"I’m not obligated to answer your questions!"
"I have my ways of getting you to talk even though you won’t"
I paused. "You won’t hurt "
"What makes you think that?"
I gulped. Just an impulse? Honestly, I don’t know why I said that.
"You lied about being pregnant and being Luther’s Countess"
"I’m Luther’s Countess"
"No!" he snapped, pinning
with his gaze. "...You’re not"
"I am!" I growled.
"You may wear his ring and there is a reason for that? If I’m wrong enlighten , Emma, because you have so explaining to do"
I froze stone cold when he called
Emma, my eyes going wide.
’Focus on my voice’
’Focus’
I heard his voice in my head and it felt like a mory trying to break through into my head. Was there a ti he said that to ? Having my na taste his lips was oddly pleasing and caused a sensation to overwhelm . I don’t want to feel this way, I shouldn’t... It’s just rubbing salt on an old wound.
He leaned away from the chair, rested his elbows on his knees and didn’t blink or take his gaze away from mine and it caused a shudder to flood through .
"I don’t know Luther... but I know enough to know that he didn’t just make you his Countess for nothing"
"We’re... in love doesn’t that count?"
The color drained from his orbs and it beca a darker shade of gold I didn’t know existed and goosebumps enclosed my skin.
"I’m his wife" I continued in spite of his dark gaze. "That is enough reason"
"How long do you think you will keep lying to my face?"
"I’m not lying... maybe you don’t just want to believe it"
He chuckled deeply and I hated how butterflies danced in my stomach hearing that rich sound from him. God, it sounded so sexy.
"Careful," he said, rising to his full length, all sense of amusent gone and I sucked in breath because the large room was suddenly small. "You won’t get away easily lying to my face"
"What will you do about that, Alpha Devereaux?" I said with clenched teeth. "Torture ? Or rip
to pieces to settle your hunger for a war"
"Try "
I didn’t know what was coming over , I took the covers off
in an instant and bolted towards the door but the air was sucked out of
when I was slamd against the wall and his hand wrapped my throat. I tried to move but I remained caged. I stared up at him with fury burning into his eyes.
"Where do you think you’re going?" he mused, keeping
in place without effort as I squirreled to get away, but he pushed
more against the wall until I was like the very wall behind
with a firm grip on my throat.
My heart slams against my poor chest.
"Let
go" It was a whisper although I wanted it to sound strong.
"We’re not done talking," he said with the sa whisper. "You act more human than you should," he adds.
I huffed. "And does that bother your ideology on vampires?"
"When were you sired? Were you human then?" he asked with curiosity in his eyes.
"None of your damn business!"
"Don’t" he growled. "...Test "
"And as I once said what will you fucking do?!" I was pushing it and I knew it, this wasn’t the Dace I knew who once handled
like glass or turned his world upside down for my sake. This was the Dark Alpha and I was just his pawn, he could break my neck easily with just the right amount of pressure and walk away without regret and I would be the one dying with a hole in my chest being killed by him again.
He glared at
and I felt like my skin would jump off my body, from the bloodlust in his eyes there was a heated emotion I couldn’t explain.
"I’m being lenient with you right now" his jaw ticks.
I smirk. "Are you getting soft Alpha Devereaux? That is a little suspicious for a Dark Alpha"
He leaned toward
in a heartbeat and a lump caught my throat constricting with his iron grip around it.
"Do not test
or else I will bend you over and spank that little ass of yours until you bleed,"
