Chapter 405: Silver Chaos
EMMA
~
This suddenly beca the biggest decision I have ever made or the worst, the walk to this place felt like there was pressure in my legs, weighing
down and keeping
from moving forward. But I just selfishly tried to tell myself that I had to do this.
My thoughts crashed when I descended the stairs and a mixed pair of eyes fell on , the heat in the room resembled that of being close to an active volcano, except no lava or possible flas, at least that was what I told myself, because Dace looked like he would set
on fire with just one look.
Fuck
because he looked insanely captivating right now and looked exceptional. His dark hair was a ssy outlook that suited him perfectly, allowing the long curled strand to fall on his forehead matching his dark thick eyebrows, giving him a lethal look. My guess is he has been running his hand through them occasionally. Adored in his suit, gripping his large fra perfectly, with few of the buttons of his white shirts undone.
He still doesn’t do ties it seems.
He looked stunned, and confused, and then he looked furious, enough to lt
with his eyes. While I just safely tried to be invincible... but that would be asking too much in this case.
I’m in a room full of werelions.
I crashed the Alpha’s engagent party.
And he’s here... My supposed murderer who did the honors of strangling
to death, stood beside Dace with a shocked expression, I bet he thought I didn’t make it alive.
I wanted so badly to give him a victory smirk, but I was paralyzed, by the events that were about to happen.
This is Dace’s engagent and I’m about to see him make a vow to soone. I don’t know which is breaking, my heart or my sanity, maybe both.
"Emmaline"
I turned to the sweet British voice beside , Diana was the only one who stood beside
and I could see the disapproval from soone who looked like her bodyguard? But he didn’t look like that, maybe he was her caregiver Emilia talked about.
Speaking of Emilia... I avoided taking glances at where she was, I couldn’t face her right now.
"You look pale"
I smirked. "I’m always pale"
"Well you look like you would pass out or worse do sothing mad" she adds.
"Don’t worry I won’t ruin your Alpha’s engagent, it doesn’t seem like it will stop with my presence anyway" I said watching as Isabella sunk her fangs in her wrist drawing her blood.
Of course a blood vow...
"I didn’t say anything about you ruining the party"
I darted my eyes at Diana, she was smiling at , she always smiled at
and it brought
so sort of comfort.
"And you young lady shouldn’t be standing next to a Vampire"
"Lady Crest, you must take your place with the others," her caregiver said, keeping an alert look at .
"Of course" she faced . "I might have kept you company but you see I’m needed over there"
And then it hit . "Are you part of the Council?" She’s just a child! Except she didn’t look like one, she’s far too mature.
She gave
a smile only and walked to the center. I just drowned myself in the third glass of champagne. I can’t believe I’m about to watch this... WATCH this happen. Maybe this was a stupid idea, maybe I should have just stayed in my room.
What was I expecting exactly? That the mont I showed they would end the ceremony?
The mont I watched as Dace began to undo his cufflinks I was caught in a trance, like ti slowed and I just watched him, about to give himself to soone else.
I can’t bla him.
And I have no right, I was just in as much of a state as he is... we’re currently strangers, enemies and I was nothing but a prisoner taking her luxury to crash an engagent party for a drink?... At least that is what they thought. And right now I regret stepping foot out of my room, I should have just listened to Emilia.
This was a nightmare.
"Emma"
A presence suddenly ca behind
and my eyes went wide, I could recognize that voice anywhere.
"Grayson?" I murmured about turning but a hand on my back stopped .
"Just stay," he said and from the corner of my eye, I saw he was holding a tray.
Oh no!
"What are you doing here?" I asked with clenched teeth silently praying no one was listening, but it seed the entire focus was on the star couple.
"Should you ask that?"
"You can’t be here Grayson, is Luther here too?"
My heart is pounding and I can’t even hear my own whisper.
"No. I ca alone"
I don’t know why I felt relieved by that, maybe because of the fact it won’t be a war. But still... "Why?!"
Why would he do sothing as stupid as this? I know he’s worried but this... is walking to his death.
"Because that piece of shit Luther wouldn’t do a thing"
I gulped at his words.
"I’m taking you with . Any minute now"
"Wha-"
I couldn’t finish because the chandelier suspended to the ceiling just at the center cut loose. Horror found
when I saw Diana standing just there.
"NO!"
I pushed off Grayson and rushed to Diana.
Was I too late?
It happened so fast, the loud crash, the spill of glass everywhere, and the blinking of lights like the switch was off or sothing. A sll caught my nose.
Silver.
I heard loud footsteps and panic in the air in the sudden dark and Diana in my arms, I got to her quickly but...
"Stay with , Diana!" I held her close as she hyperventilated. The shaky lights ca back on and I spotted a large piece of silver digging into her side abdon and the blood oozing out.
"Please," I said, quivering as she kept trying to catch her breath. I raised my head and looked around... several were wounded and bleeding, that impact wasn’t just any impact, silver flew everywhere, creating this chaos and this was the perfect ti to escape.
But I can’t.
"GRAYSON!" I called to him, he stood just a few feet away from
and I was begging him with my eyes. "PLEASE!"
I know he ca for
and sorted up a plan for
to escape, to save
but Diana doesn’t deserve this.
As if hearing my silent thought he rushed to my side and placed his hand on her wound.
"I have to take it out"
I nodded. Facing Diana still trying to breathe with the blood oozing from her mouth.
I sobbed. "It’s gonna be okay, I won’t let you die I promise" I faced Grayson and gave a nod.
He instantly removed the rod of silver and she scread, I held her tightly so that she wouldn’t shake off my hold and Grayson quickly placed his two hands on the bloody wound, a light reflected from his hand and I could see his blood veins and his bones from the warm light emitting from it, like a ray.
Diana slowly stopped hyperventilating and her eyes fluttered closed. Her wounds healed. Relief found
but suddenly that was gone because I was ripped harshly away from her and another grabbed my brother.
"No, stop!" I fought but it was useless. "Let him go!"
Grayson was held down by two n as he fought to get free. Even as he stabbed one with one of his knives to fight them off... but they contrived to pin him down.
"Alpha, she’s still breathing," Singe said, checking Diana’s pulse.
Finally, I laid my eyes on Dace, he was just as dismantled as everyone is but he had no wounds and that was a relief... but I couldn’t find ease not with that dark look forged on his features, hard and kept on .
He darted his dark golden eyes to Grayson, and the amount of bloodlust ready to cut through air itself... horror filled .
"Please!"
His eyes found
again, tears streaming down my cheeks.
"Please"
He acknowledged nothing of my words. "Get them out of my sight!"
