Chapter 458: Stolen
"You stood beside him. I am really glad you’re my Lioness. You’re good for him and I can feel it. I want you to stay, will you please stay"
I didn’t know what words to say so I put her back into a hugging position. "You’re strong Diana, stronger than I was at your age. Always be" I said softly, running my hand up and down her hair.
She pulled away with a smile on her lips and gave
a nod. I smiled right back at her.
I felt a hand on my waist and without bothering to turn I knew it was Dace, just by the sparks flying through my body. Diana smiled at Dace before bowing and walking to join the rest of the party.
"She likes you too much," he murmured to my ear. Sweet tingles found my body, the warmth radiating off him kissing my skin.
"Jealous?"
"She’s not a worthy competition. She doesn’t have the sa hold I have on you"
I turned to him. "Don’t get cocky Dace Devereaux"
"So I should be worried?" he raised an eyebrow and I rolled my eyes at the man suddenly acting immaturely.
"You just blatantly announced I am your female" I began.
"That was the plan after all" he mused. "At least I know that poor Jack will get his head separated from his body when I find him"
Poor Jack.
A group of n ca towards us.
"We will talk more after this" he whispered to my ears before engaging in a talk with them with
by his side. It felt weird because I was also the center of attention too. I was suddenly nervous and needed a break.
I need to use the restroom.
He looked at
as I peeled away his iron grip. He gave
a look and it showed that he didn’t want
out of his sight.
You can’t always have eyes on
Dace: This is not the place or ti for this, rember I told you I would keep you safe here
It’s just a restroom.
Dace: They will accompany you.
I frowned at the two guards stepping forward.
Pulling away from him I walked out the hall with two n following behind. I almost growled at them because of how frustrated I suddenly was.
"Wait out here except you want to follow
inside," I said to the two bulky n. "They both looked at each other and gave a nod.
I shut the door in their faces and went about to do my business. It was also a breathing space for
after everything that happened tonight. Fuck! A lot happened and I can’t keep up. I took a deep breath standing in front of the mirror. Washing my hands and fixing my lipstick.
I heard sounds from the door I couldn’t make out but I didn’t pay any attention to it. It swung open and Isabella walked in. I paused but chose to ignore her as I applied my lipstick. The door shot close and she strolled to the mirror keeping a good distance as she fixed her hair.
"I heard," she began. "All hail the new Lioness" she chuckled as she searched for sothing in her purse. And I just place my lipstick back inside mine.
"Tell , Emmaline, is it usually fun when you steal soone’s fiance"
"I didn’t steal your fiance, he made his choice"
She huffed. "Dace can make crazy decisions... I guess you did bewitch him after all"
I looked at her. "Bewitched?" I mused. "That is a strong word... especially when it has nothing to do with that"
She faced , her face holding a deep scowl. "So what the mighty Dark alpha falls in love?"
"I told him not to and yet he wants
to expect the disappointnt when he doesn’t listen to " I grabbed my purse. "I didn’t steal anything away from you Isabella. Like you said you stopped loving him yourself, so it’s not that much of a loss is it?" I walked past her to get out and not have to deal with her any longer but a grip on my hair was enough to make pain shoot through
like my skull was being ripped off.
My body was thrown like a sack against the wall and I think I broke sothing, my rib.
"YOU BITCH!" she roared at
and my vision blurred but I could tell she was coming for .
I blinked to snap out of it and I saw just how monstrous she looked, mid-shift, with sideburns of her golden hair, her saber tooth on display, her nose flattened, her eyes glowing the brightest dangerous gold.
"I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU FOR TAKING EVERYTHING FROM " She ca at
again and when she reach to grab
I use to purse to hit her square in the face. She broke into dark laughter.
"Is that all you got?" she grabbed my neck and raised
to my feet until they wobbled from the loss of gravity. "I guess so... is Alex’s venom still lingering in your body? You should know his bite is like a slow poison, even though the bite is gone it takes ti before your body burns it off, you are just as feeble as a human now" she growled.
I clawed at her hand to get rid of the tightness because it felt like my throat would snap in two. I need to do sothing, think of sothing before she breaks my neck.
"When I snap your neck, I will cut you to pieces and show the werelion society how weak their new Lioness is"
I closed my eyes.
"Giving up already?"
Concentrate Emma!
"Pathetic!"
I flashed my beaming green eyes open, everything was in the hues of green in my vision and a rush of power surged through . At my command, the mirror broke and the lights shook, the shards scattered everywhere and she had to cover her face to protect herself from them in the sudden combustion. I used that opportunity to use my heel to kick her off with enough strength I could muster.
She stumbled backward and fell to my knees, the shards digging into my flesh but I was too focused trying to breathe as I held my neck. I coughed so loudly it felt like I would vomit my entire intestines.
That was close. Any minute I would have had my throat cracked! The pain burned my throat until I saw stars but I shook my head to get rid of it. I can’t be distracted right now, I need to face what is right in front of .
I looked back at Isabella while wheezing, she was up on her feet and so was I. My legs shook but I stood my ground, my chest rising and falling heavily.
I smirked.
"I will bathe in your blood. Dace belongs to !" she wailed. "And you have no right to take him away from ! He’s mine!"
"He was never yours" My words ca as a whisper because of my sore throat but I knew she heard
vividly well because she ca at
in speed.
I stretched my hand forward and she hung where she was like an invisible wall was right in front of her, her eyes wide as she looked at . I looked at her right back without blinking. Blood ran down her nose, her eyes, and her ears, and for a minute confusion took over . Was I doing this?
Before I could get the answer to my question she exploded, and I closed my eyes and flinched when the blood splashed everywhere. Breathing heavily I opened my eyes as the ringing in my ears intensified.
I looked at the destruction I made... what was left of it, just body parts, the blood, and the gore were too much to take and my stomach turned and suddenly it felt like everything was crashing down, whatever power was surging through
was too much, it made the entire bathroom shook from it and the ringing increased to the point I can’t hear anything.
I raised my head and the door barged open, breaking off its hinges in force Dace ca in looking worried and distraught, behind him was the blood and bodies of the supposed guards. I wondered if he killed them or if it was just Isabella.
Dace said sothing to
but I couldn’t hear him. I couldn’t even feel him as I just stood there numb. He looked at the pieces, walking over it and to
as he cupped my cheeks speaking to
but I couldn’t hear.
It took a mont before I did.
"Talk to
baby girl, I am here, say sothing" he begged. "I am here" he chants trying to ground
back to reality but I was too stuck up to think and my body was too heavy, it was like everything was closing on .
I darted my eyes to him, his eyes begging to say sothing and I did.
"I-I blew her up"
