Chapter 134: His Decision
OWEN
~
I’ve no idea how long I stood in front of Emma’s house. I’ve been both worried and impatient. I’ve sent Emma tons of messages and calls hoping she would return them when she woke up but nothing, it was killing me that I haven’t heard from her, I couldn’t erase the image of seeing her wounded body in the arms of that beast. If only I had protected her better none of that would’ve happened.
I can’t even go into the Werelions mansion, only Vanessa could and she was the only way I could check on Emma. But she hadn’t picked up my call for the whole day and it got me coming over here only to find out she wasn’t home. I can’t leave this spot not until I hear a word about Emma.
The past week has been a hectic one. After the incident, all the families were all stirred up, although plans to patch up the barrier were already in progress it still didn’t change the fact that they were able to get in. At first, it was a mystery to me about how the barrier defected until a theory got to me, I discussed it with Vanessa, Emma has been at the edge of the barrier twice and it had been breached because of that, it may have been a subconscious action and it was the only explanation I could find.
Because ever since Emma was able to make a connection with my mom, I knew there was something more to her if only I could find out what.
The sudden sound of a car driving into the street snapped me out of my thoughts, I sighed in relief when I saw it was Vanessa’s, where has she been?
She slammed the door shut and locked her gaze with me. "Owen? How long have you been out here?"
"I’ve been calling for hours but you didn’t pick up. You went to see Emma right? Is she okay? How’s her condition?" I was fast in my words that Vanessa couldn’t keep up with but I didn’t care.
She sighed shakily about opening her mouth to speak but it felt like she didn’t know where to start and then I knew something was wrong.
