Chapter 123
Valerose
Embrose and I rode in silence for a while when we left Lexi. I needed it while I tried to figure out what the fuck happened back there. As soon as Lexi showed up I lost my ruthlessness and blood thirst. I told her everything I had ever thought or felt about her since I saw her picture. I even told her things I hadn’t even admitted to myself. It all came out. I had no filter or poker face. The things I pride myself in when I’m dealing with people and possible enemies. I could feel Embrose looking at me from time to time but never said anything. That was until reach our suite. As soon as the door shut he growled “ What the fuck happened back there? And how did she know about me just being in this deal because I wanted to fuck her? I never said a word?”
I didn’t answer him right away. I walked to the small bar, grabbed a tumbler and poured myself two fingers of the best scotch they had here. I downed the first glass. “ And what was the shit you were spouting. What changes was she talking about? The white glowing? It was life she could see through us. Why are you saying anything?” Embrose yelled as I poured myself another. I walked over to a large cushioned chair and flopped down in it. Another thing I wouldn’t have normally done. “ Do you plan on aswering me?” Embrose yells. I have had enough of him already. He is getting on my last nerve. How can I answer him when I don’t have the answer myself?
I downed my second drink and threw my glass across the room to where Embrose was leaning against the wall of the living room. Embrose ducked to avoid getting hit. The glass shattered against the wall glass going in several different directions, then falling to the floor. “ Don’t you ever yell at me. I am still your king you will treat me with respect.” I yelled. “ You weren’t acting very king like when you were dealing with Lexi. As your second I deserve answers.” Embrose growled back. “ You deserve what I give you. You don’t get to challenge me.” I growled. I was stressed after my meeting with Lexi. I didn’t need Embrose adding to it. I needed time to think and talk to the witches. And I don’t think all the stress I am feeling is all mine. I think some of it is Lexi’s. I could feel double of everything.
Stress, confusion, anger, frustration was what I was feeling. In don’t even want to think about the attraction I felt for Lexi. I didn’t need my dick getting hard right now. I smirk at Embrose “ I think you are just pissed Lexi saw right through you. She didn’t fall for any of your charm. She told you to your face that you would never touch her body. She saw you where just in this for the fuck and nothing more.” I laughed. I remember the look on his face when he saw he wasn’t getting anywhere with her. That has never happened. Most women throw themselves at Embrose. But not Lexi. She barely gave him a glance. If the situation hadn’t been so serious I would have laughed.
“ She didn’t even look at me. Turned me down. Me. That isn’t what this is about. I have never seen you like that. The ruthless king practically bows to a lowly she-wolf.” Embrose grumbled. When he insults Lexi I feel my eyes turn red and my fangs lower showing my vampire side. I growl “ Never insult the queen Luna.” Embrose turns pale and his jaw drops open. My anger and rage have never been directed at him like this. He knows he is close to dieing if he says one more word about Lexi. “ This is one of the things I am talking about. What is wrong with you? Did she put a spell on you or something?” Embrose asked. I talk a deep breath to calm myself. I don’t need to kill my second and best friend.
“ Don’t be ridiculous. You know I can’t be spelled. The witches made sure of it.” I reminded him. “ Then what the fuck is it?” he asked. I sat back in the chair and ran my fingers through my hair. “ I don’t know. Just being in Lexi’s presence I wanted to confess every wrong doing I have ever made. Every dream or fantasy I had about her. You couldn’t hide anything from her. Or her wolf Arya. I know you felt it.” I said. He had to feel something when Arya joined Lexi. I know her guards did. I saw the change in them when Arya joined us. Embrose walked over to the love seat opposite me and sat down.
He looked at me like he wasn’t sure who he was seeing. I’m sure he doesn’t see the man who’s side he has been at for over a hundred years. Hell, I don’t feel like that man today. “ I don’t know what I felt. Expect when she started glowing white. Then I felt like she could see into my soul. My every thought. And I felt like there was someone else there. And they didn’t like me very much.” Embrose said. I wanted to laugh at the confused look he had. “ Lexi, could. When she glowed white. She could see many things including the truth. We couldn’t have lie to her if we wanted to. The other person you felt was Arya her wolf. And no she didn’t like you.” I told him.
“ How do you know that?” Embrose asked. “ Arya, talked to me. Like a mind link the wolves do.” I said. I do my best to explain what happened between me and Arya. Then what happened between me and Lexi. How her scent was even more alluring than it was before. The tingleing I felt when I touched her. How I felt like I wanted to protect her even if it cost me my life. How I didn’t just wanted to fuck her but make love to her, hold her, comfort her, make her smile and laugh. “ And neither of you have any idea what is happening?” Embrose asked. I shook my head “ No, she is just as confused as I am.” “ And you are sure she is feeling something similar?” he asks. “ Yeah. That is why we agreed for me to talk to the witches and she is going to talk to the Goddess. We hope to find answers then meet again next week.”
“ Wow. Just wow. You know if I didn’t know better I would say you are starting to feel the beginning of the mate bond the wolves talk about. But that is not possible. We don’t get mates. Or we haven’t in over fifty years. If you get one now you are one lucky son-of -a bitch.” Embrose laughs. But I’m not laughing. I’m thinking about what he said. Everything that I felt today lines up with the mate bond. But he is right, Vampires stopped getting fated mates years ago. Is it possible we are getting them back?
