This whole situation just took a whole completely new direction , a completely dangerous one , so dangerous that if the fire Cross came back for Lucy , I may have to choose between my pack’s survival and her.
But why did that make my insides twist ?Shouldn’t I want this to happen , if they came for Lucy then I could live happily with Ariana , all my troubles would go away .So why the f**k did it make me feel empty inside and why did it feel like I would fight till my death to keep her?
ERMAnnO’S POV(Where the Black Council Resides):
My boots hit against the glass floors loudly , my brothers following my quick steps , we were heading back to the council , to meet our father who had called for us.
“Do you think father suspects anything?”nolan asked .
“He’s been suspicious of us for a while now nolan , we’ve all went missing for days , it’s only natural that he would suspect we were up to something he didn’t approve off.”
“But we were careful.”Thane cut in.”He knew the council sent us on a private mission , we could still pull this off.”
“Dad isn’t stupid .” Marcus commented .”We’ve never taken days to complete a mission , no matter how dangerous .”
Marcus had a point , we’ve been on countless missions before , slaying the most dangerous of kinds , killing mercilessly and we’ve never once taken days to complete it .
“Uh guys.”Luthais whispered.”I think it’s safe to say he knows.”He said staring straight ahead ,I followed his gaze and froze.
Yeah , father knew alright.He stood a few feet away from us , a furious expression masked his face , there was only one topic we disagreed on , so there was no doubt he knew who we went to see.
“Where did you go?”He asked in the scariest tone ever used on us before.
When every one of us refused to answer ,his eyes narrowed.”I asked you , WHERE DID YOU GO!”
I felt Luthais flinch besides me , not used to this side of father.
“We went on-“
“Do not even bother lying to me , speak the truth now ,I’m only giving you one chance to do so.”He warned.
“father.”I started.”We went to see Lucy.”I confessed , there was no use lying to him , he already knew , he was just waiting for the confirmation from us.
He shook his head at us , not saying a single word , his silence seemed more deadly than his outburst and I could sense my brothers discomfort increase by each second that went by.
“We’ve had this discussion before , on countless occasions ,I’ve pleaded with you boys to leave this matter alone.Why would you disobey a direct order from me?”He demanded.
“We wanted to see her father.”I stated the obvious .
His eyes flashed dangerously at me.”I told you when the time is right you would all meet her.”
“And when is that?”Thane demanded.”She’s been separated from us for over seventeen years now .”
“She’s everything we thought she would be and more .”I shouted.”Aren’t you even the least bit interested ?”
father remained quiet at that.
“She deserves to know father .”I added quietly.
It was the truth , Lucy has been living in the dark for years , she deserved to know the truth and my brothers and I were determined to give it to her if it was the last thing we did.
I kept looking at the floor , embarrassed to look at Austin after what happened between us last night .Surprisingly , he had stayed for breakfast this morning and I couldn’t help but wonder if it was because of the incident that had occurred yesterday .
We were all seated around the dining table , for once the entire family was here , even James , the brother who had yet to introduce himself to me was seated comfortably opposite me.
“Austin.”The king started.”Your mother and I have been talking and we think that it’s a good idea for you to take Lucy with you to the village , so that the people could get to know her a bit more.”
“Why must I do that?”He questioned his father , clearly unhappy to be spending any alone time with me.
“Austin.”His mother cut in with a warning tone.
I didn’t want to stay and hear the rest of the conversation so I quietly excused myself and made my way to the washroom, halfway there I felt the presence of someone behind me.I stopped walking altogether and spun around to come face to face with Austin.
He took a step closer , his deep ocean blue eyes pulling me in.”I’m not finished with our discussion from yesterday.”
Sigh.
This again?
Another slow step brought him within arm’s reach.Whenever he was this near it became almost impossible for me to think clearly .Especially when his warm gaze poured over me , making me weak , those eyes had the power to bring me to my knees and I hated the feeling , hated the weakness , I needed to be stronger.
God but I would be lying if I said that warm gaze didn’t do amazing things to my body , making me all warm and fuzzy inside , melting my insides , devouring me whole.
I forced my gaze to move from those hypnotizing eyes and focused on his broad chest instead but even that didn’t help , as even his masculine chest left me wanting more , wanting to run my hands and tongue all over .Damn it Lucy.
I snapped my gaze back up to his eyes and regretted it instantly , there was that raw dark need deep in his eyes again.
