Emma GreyHe certainly wasn't as himself today."Now, who could this be?"His tone was different, tenseful, urging me to tilt my head facing him. The blossom of redness once on my skin was almost forgotten, feeling the gentle air slowly slipping away, replaced by vigorous one.His musk lavender scent filled my senses, though immensely more than before. If I were to have a say, it was almost like the time on the field, but not quite as strong to knock people out of their awakeness.Yet, fervent enough to freeze any movement those he wanted to.My brows knitted in confusion. To what occasion would he release it for? He would've noticed it long enough that it did little to no damage to my being.Which I'm entirely sure he wouldn't hurt me in any way possible. With how close I was to him as of now, my eyes could clearly perceive his fiercely vision. Knowingly stilled in the direction I had come from.My eyes, then, darted to the man who seemed as though he was about to throw out his brea
Nathan Black"Tell me, so we can fix it together."It was a foul. She must've known how weakened I was to her smiles, with her words coating me with comfortness I had never experienced before.How could I not conceded, when her eyes glistened with concern, even though the reason behind my turmoil wasn't as significant.Though, I would yearn nothing more than to trust her fully, which also picked on the fear condoning me with the newfound feeling.I stuttered a sigh, realizing I couldn't, no, I didn't even want to win against her.My hand steadily moved, reaching for hers on my face, clutching it into mine as I brought it down on my lap."I…Would you find it strange if I told you I was… jealous?" I murmured, albeit with the close distance we were with each other, I knew she could hear it.Her fingers twitched in my hold, simultaneously had my eyes trained solely on her delicate hand.This was in fact an awful idea.Not when her silence had stretched longer than I anticipated, feeling
Emma Grey"As I wouldn't want any of them," my eyes darted downwards before finding his dark orbs again, "... except you."Did I really just blurted that out loud? There's no way I'm myself today.Because the Emma Grey that I knew wouldn't be this bold, especially in talks of feelings. And certainly wouldn't say such embarrassing words.His eyes were unreadable, aside for a hint of astonishment glistened with it, making it even harder for me to read his mind.I bit the corner of my lower lips, hearing the silence stretched longer than I thought it would. The anxiousness swallowed every inch of my nerves as I started conflicting, to just stay put and see where it led to or just bolted my feet off the whole situation.Didn't I just basically confess my feelings? If not directly.This wasn't how I planned it to be. At first, I was just trying to reassure him from his doubts and turmoil.I mean, to be jealous of the man earlier was understandable. For him to be in rage and releasing the
Nathan Black"And now," a smile adorned my lips, basking myself in her honey orbs as it glimmered with anticipation, "the feelings have blossomed into something more."I slowly released the breath I didn't realize I was holding, hoping she couldn't hear the drumming beats rapidly knocking against my chest.Could she understand the underlying meaning behind my words? When she confessed that she wanted no one's attention other than me, I didn't interpret it wrongly, did I?Because, no matter how much I had thought it could mean to, I couldn't help discerning my feelings weren't unrequited. And it boosted my bravery to profess all the feelings I had suppressed inside my chest.Everything that I had told her was true. It was one of my biggest dreams as a child, to have a significant other and share my life with.Be it as a best friend, a companion or even as a lover, growing up seeing my parents being fulfilled with each other's presence set those kinds of thoughts in my head.But then,
Emma Grey"Nope. Stay away from me."My brows knitted in confusion, noting how Lina had held her hands towards me. Her eyes glimpsed unimpressively while creating a distance between us.We were all called to the field for Eva's hearing today. And recognizing her silhouette from afar, I excitedly ran up towards her, albeit, the second I patted her shoulder, she jumped on her feet away from me.What's wrong with her? The second I attempted to march a step closer, she hastily shuffled backwards as though she was uncomfortable with my presence."What're you doing?" I uttered in bewilderment. She eyed me suspiciously, raising her eyebrow expectantly towards me that I almost felt offended by it."You're with him last night, weren't you?" She accused, though not that it was all false. However, the way she muttered it incriminatingly had me almost on my toes.More importantly, how did she even know that? Because, after we had kiss– I mean, pouring our feelings towards each other, Nathan had i
Nathan Black"Mrs Eva Grey, the stage is yours."Eva nodded towards Thomas, marching her feet onto the center of the stage, reluctantly giving her speeches. I admit it was one of the most exasperating things to do as a pack leader, thus, I kind of understood her disinclination.Besides that, it seemed I was a bit late to the hearing, though it was only due to Eva asking me for assistance in some matters pertaining to the event today.I guess I was an exception for running a bit behind the schedule. Good thing I had managed to spot Ethan instantly among the crowds."You didn't return home last night." I muttered heedlessly, stepping to Ethan's side, a meter away from the stage. It seemed he had been here for quite some time, seeing him almost bored to his bone.As much as I wanted to arrive with Emma earlier, it was necessary for me to discuss some matters with Eva. Which was why I had to take a detour towards Sir Joshue's house early this morning."And you must've been relieved I d
Emma GreyEva had been excellent in her public speeches ever since we were children. But looking at her now, on a stage for a very special occasion as this really did place her in a new light.One that suited her the best."Eva's really awesome, don't you think?" The words slipped on its own, flowed unconsciously as my eyes trained on her composed figure. "Yup, I agree! Do you know how many packs there were for having a woman as a leader?" Lina muttered, glancing at me expectantly.And as much as I wanted to retort her anticipation, I must admit I actually had no idea how many there were. Truthfully, I had never heard of any woman becoming a leader. Though, I couldn't comment much on it, as I too, hadn't known of the outside world other than my very pack.Thus, a shrug was all I could muster. "Beats me."She sighed, "Yeah, that makes two of us. Kind of makes me want to leave this place and explore the world."I felt my lips twitch into a hollow smile. Someday, Lina. I'm sure of it
Nathan BlackPredictable.The corner of my lips lifted, amusement laid itself within my eyes. It was as if he was extremely desperate for the hearing to lack success, carrying the exact same act I had fortunate he would do.The commotion was left unblase as Eva's eyes caught mine. Good thing we met this morning."Now." I mouthed towards her, averting my sight towards Joshue. It would be entertaining to see his face crumble to the depth of sea, decayed to the deepest ocean.And seconds pass by before Eva's scent spreads through the air, eloping the people's agitation into thin air. I must admit, watching his sneering turned to a frown was pleasing to the eyes. The confusion and irritation in his eyes confessed every inch of despair he felt.The corner of my lips lifted higher as his eyes darted promptly towards mine, seeing the irritation blasted into a rageful sight.As I said."You…" He growled, baring his teeth towards me.Predictable.–(Joshue Miller's Resident Earlier)"You ca
