I didn’t wanna leave Emma, it killed me to do so... I could see it in her eyes when I told her I had to go.... she was begging me to stay, a silent plea that only I could understand... but I can’t. After our small distance, I knew we needed closure right now more than ever, I could smell it in the air, and I could feel the loneliness I brought upon her just because I wanted her to have some space.
I could feel her need for me to hold her and just be there where she can see me and I was more than willing to stay and be with her, hold her and mumble loving things to her ears and let her know I will never think of giving her space again, she’s meant to be my side and nowhere else. But I can’t stay now... not after what I just heard, it took every last of my control to leave... I will make sure I make it up to her when I get back.
It didn’t take long before I was back home, I didn’t bother going in because I knew where to go which was at the back of the house where some of the male werelions were gathered, just five of them and then my dad.
I stopped in my tracks when I felt the heavy air slip in, my nose caught a whiff of it instantly. I didn’t know what I came for yet, all I knew was it was urgent enough for me to leave Emma alone. The air held sadness, anger, and bloodlust, it leaked in every corner of the place. The highest of them all came from where my dad stood like a dark cloud was hanging where he was and it was just as ominous.
The male werelions caught my attention. My stern eyes scanned each of them, even as they bowed slightly their expressions weren’t something you could call a good mood.
"Alexander... come!" my dad’s voice got to me. Add that to the list too, because my dad always calls my Alpha given name in serious situations. Something must be really wrong.
