Chapter 158: Vortex
OWEN
~
The wind was quite heavy here... but this was what I needed, some air to clear my senses or to escape what happened, I don’t know which, I just know I wanna be alone, the first time I have thought of such a thing, I have always sought to be around people but right now that isn’t what I needed. I felt lost, I felt cornered and I felt defeated, almost like my own heart was betraying me.
I ran my fingers in my hair multiple times, unable to take my mind off Emma. Oh Emma, fuck! I merely chuckled to myself, what was the point of it then, after everything only for her to be bound to that beast? I can’t make sense of any of it because I don’t know what to think. A witch’s blood? A destined Female to a werelion? Fuck that was wrong! But either the way she had chosen and the mark was clear as day, she did indeed bear one of theirs, fuck!
"I thought I might find you here" I twirled at the sudden voice, confusion flushed through me because I knew this place to be isolated and no one would come here. Not even him.
"What are you doing here?" I asked my dad as he strolled up to me in slow steps, always seeming calm than ever.
"I know you come here whenever you want to be alone," he says, standing beside me with folded arms and watching the same view as me, which had most of the tropical area before us. "I’m your father, I know this," he mused.
I shifted my gaze away from him. "If you do then I want to be alone, you should know that too"
"I do," he nods. "But you left in quite a way that got me worried"
"Hope I didn’t offend our guest" I spat.
And a smirk found his lips. "It’s loud and clear Owen, you have feelings for Emma" he sealed gazes with me and I wavered. It took a moment as I blinked and forced my eyes away. With his ardent gaze on me it felt like he could see my very soul, maybe he could.
