BLOOD LEGACIES

EMILIA

~

I never thought I would get to see this... watching this unfold before my eyes. The burning of my dead kindred. My grip tightened on my arms. I kept folded against my chest and my mood foul. Watching the burning bodies from upstairs wasn’t exactly something I would call a nice view. I spotted my brother, he stood calm. Both my dad and I knew that was just a facade. Because a shiver ran through me... their blood lust made the air heavy and difficult to breathe.

"Are they really here?" I asked my mom beside me watching the same scene.

"Seems like it"

I faced her and I saw her stern eyes watching the scene. It was hard seeing my mom showing no emotion but now she did. This hit all of us hard to the point we were alert of the foes now here.

"The Venatores are in Juneau," she said and I moved my orbs back to the scene. I have only heard stories and considered them fairy tales but right now it’s actually unfolding before my eyes. Foes we never thought we had but yet did and they were capable of killing us... it only made it more shocking and a lot to take it.

I knew Dace would be charged with responsibilities, I knew what I had to do for his sake. Keep my eyes on his female so that he would at least focus because I knew Dace’s brain was in a split and this very situation will determine if he was capable of being the next Alpha. He’s capable alright... Dace was like a walking menace even though he doesn’t show it, wild and yet so unpredictable. He’s the loving brother I grew up with but if pushed to the edge it was like talking to a beast ready to bring the earth to its knees.

Even though he was yet to claim the title and get his complete power, Dace has always shown such formidable strength to the point he’s able to keep up with my dad. My mom knew it too we all did and I was glad he has found his Female, Emma might not know it but she plays a big role in his life when it comes to keeping him in check because I purely knew that day her clan leader came with that accusation he would have dropped dead that very minute because Dace would have had his head.

I briefly turned to Emma who had her thoughts to herself, it’s best if she doesn’t get to see that side of him. Emma’s fragile but she’s perfect for him, she’s his peace.

Emma’s been awfully quiet since I told her about what’s going on and she looked worried too, it was times like this I wish I could read her thoughts but no good, seems like she wanted to be left alone so... I let her, I may be pushy sometimes but I knew when to give space and beside...

I opened my locker and coughed briefly. Seriously dust already? I guess I haven’t been here for a while.
