"Emma co on baby, open the door"
Dace’s voice ca in for the third ti, but I said nothing... still curled up at the edge of the bed, my knees to my chest. Apparently, I slamd the door in Dace’s face after Emilia left, saying I wanted to be alone and he respected that, but in less than one minute he was knocking and calling for but I kept silent, mostly because I was hurt and didn’t know what to say.
Emilia’s words still struck hard, I did as I thought was right, keeping a secret for a friend but it turned out to be the worst thing ever, Emilia thought I betrayed her because I kept it from her, and now my brain was so ssed up, she said it’s all my fault. Maybe it is? She was convinced that if I told her earlier about it she wouldn’t have approached Grayson that way, maybe it really was my fault.
I sniffed pulling my knees closer to my chest, squeezing my eyes shut, and exhaled sharply before opening my eyes and rising to my feet, straight to the wardrobe as I searched for what to wear, I pulled out a jeans shirt, and a baggy coat which was probably Dace and I quickly put them on before walking back to the door and opening it.
"You know I would have taken this door down," Dace said the mont he set his eyes on but they softened when he looked closer. "You were crying" he spoke about reaching for but I quickly spoke.
"I wanna go ho"
He paused.
"Now... please"
"Are you sure you’re ready for that"
"Apparently I’m not ready for anything!" I said louder than I expected. "All I do is make things worst Dace, your life, Emilia’s relationship with Grayson’’
"Who said you make my life worse? And how the fuck is it your fault?"
"It-"
"Don’t let Emilia’s words get to you, she said everything out of anger"
"But-"
"Emilia has an attitude and you know that, I don’t want you blaming yourself for how she handled her relationship with Grayson, am I clear?"
"I’m not a soldier you give others to"
"No you’re not" he pulled so strands of my strawberry blonde hair behind my ear. "But you’re my Female, and I hate seeing you when you cry, it ticks off as well as my beast, it doesn’t sit well, I feel like punching sothing right now"
I leveled my gaze sniffing.
"Emma", he began in a more serious tone and the gravity of it forced to bring my eyes back to his. "You are the best thing that has ever happened to , from the mont I t you drenched in that rain, I made the right choice following your scent and it led to you"
"I’m one hectic person to be with"
He shook his head cupping my cheek. "You’re too kind and pure-hearted, too innocent for anyone... The only person who should drown in ridiculed words is , a wild soon-to-be alpha who can’t control his anger and a ssed up brother for having soone as pure and innocent as you. I’m the one who doesn’t deserve you" he added in a low tone.
"Now you’re making feel worse than better"
He smiled. "But at least you smiled when I said it" he teased and the corner of my lips stretched out more, but the tears still fell and he used his thumbs to wipe them off.
"Let’s get you ho okay?"
~
It was a long walk but I wasn’t bothered by it mostly because I had Dace beside with his hand tightly locked on mine, just walking in the masked-covered snowy woods was a little romantic for , even though it was a dark forest, I felt safe and it felt like Dace re presence was keeping all the dangers away like a shield was over .
For a brief second, I shifted my gaze to him, he was facing ahead so I got a better view of his side, the little hairs on his cheekbones and jaws were gone, left with his smooth slightly pale skin that sotis looked tan in my eyes or slightly gold? His hair was shortened back, it seems like I did a good job trimming his hair down.
They were ssy yet beautiful and suited his looks perfectly and I couldn’t look away now. He brought his eyes to and I was drowned in those hazel eyes of his. They always seem to pull into a world of their own, to the point that it felt like the world disappeared and it was him and I to gaze upon each other and I couldn’t have it any other way.
"What?" he asked with a smirk, his eyes glittering in amusent.
"I love you," I said bluntly and the mont I realized what I said, I blushed, taking my eyes off him, that was when he stopped and chuckled at my antics and I reddened more.
"And here I thought my baby girl was too shy to say it, you always amaze Emma Adams" he grabbed my waist and pulled to his fra and I was forced to look at him.
A spark in his eyes as he said it back to . "I love you too" he leaned to and I was hoping for a kiss but instead he gently rubbed his cheeks against mine, it lted my heart at his actions, so smooth and delicate and I heard a sound deep in his chest before he pulled our faces inches apart.
The silence wasn’t awkward but yet it was super pacifying and it caused a smile to be glued on my lips, as I just stared into his hazels with love and passion, but then again I was once again reminded by reality and my smile vanished.
"Will Emilia be okay?"
"I can’t track her with our mind link," he said as his tone shifted, although he didn’t show it I knew he was worried about her. "I would have sniffed her out but..." he paused.
He didn’t need to finish because I knew it already. My scent was so intoxicating for him that he couldn’t make sense of other scents, I was a blockage for his enhanced sense of sll.
"Because of you can’t go to her," I said sternly and he narrowed his eyes.
"She needs you, Dace, you should go to her"
"I can’t leave you out here"
I pulled away. "Look the road is close already and I recognize this part, just a few turns I will be ho"
"Are you seriously telling to leave you right now?"
"I don’t want you to... but if there’s one thing I understand even if I don’t have one is love between siblings. I think of my mom as one too, whenever I wanna disappear I think I don’t need anyone in my toughest tis but I was wrong because she always cos to and hugs , I tell her to go away but she stays, and that Dace is everything, so please, please for , go to her, I will be okay"
He walked to but I backed away. "I can’t leave you, Emma, please don’t make choose"
I shook my head. "You aren’t choosing Dace," I hugged myself. "You are just going where you’re really needed"
"I just ca back to you, do not think I will part right now"
"If you don’t I will use magic and I an it"
"Emma"
"Please Dace, please. I promise you it won’t be like last ti, no one will take away from you this ti, I won’t let them" I was serious about my words, no one will tell who I will be with and not be with anymore, that was the promise I made to myself when I woke up.
"Why are you doing this?"
I sighed heavily. "I’m not doing anything Tiger, don’t you see that I feel your pain too? You think I don’t know how hurt you were when you saw her like that, I know a male and female have shared pain but it’s still the sa with siblings isn’t it?"
At my words, he leveled his gaze and I saw the hidden emotions, I was right, he was just masking it up ever since. I walked up to him and he shifted his gaze to , I went on my tip toes and kissed him as I wrapped my arms around his, he deepened it and it got hot and untad in a matter of seconds but I pulled away before I would change my mind because I really wanted to, I was scared he was leaving right now, I was beyond terrified but I had to hide it because I knew Dace was wrong from the very beginning, Emilia didn’t need , she really needed her brother.
"Go please," I said softly to him. "For "
It took a mont, maybe lasted a whole minute as we were just in each other arms and then he blurred away and a gasp escaped from , it was so cold now, colder without him.
