Chapter 488: Hollow Shell
DACE
~
It’s quiet, too quiet. Silenced by the rest of existence around me I’m left with nothing but an empty shell, a faint echo getting to my ears but that is all there is to it. The sudden coldness around me was hard to comprehend, I’m naturally a hot-blooded being but right now I felt more cold-blooded than the damn winter.
My eyes remained on the pictures scattered on the table before me, I just printed them out of the small camera. In our short stay here Emma has been taking pictures. It happened mostly when I stayed on my werelion form for days. She took pictures of birds and all the other things she found interesting. But looking at this she seemed to find some peace through taking nature along with her, it was almost like I could feel it through them.
But the ones that caught my attention were the ones of me. I must have been so lost in my head daily and zoned out for hours, and she took those pictures as a means of comfort.
I turned another round of vodka into the rocks glass but it was already an empty bottle. There is no more here, next time I’ll make a mental note to stock this place to the brim with drinks or perhaps build a wine cellar. I noticed Emma loved champagne more, When I kidnapped her back here and stocked more wine, would she forgive me then? Forgive the fact that I want to kidnap her again, becoming what it takes to keep her glued to my side.
I’m at my wit’s end here, I feel so fucking frustrated with the situation, and all I want to do is drag her little ass down here and chain her to the fucking bed, maybe a few spanks will teach her not to defile me again.
She walked away, turned her back, and dared me to hurt her. She doesn’t realize the gravity of what she did, what it meant. I’m done trying to share her with a world that wants nothing but her ruin, her family might not bring her ruin but being away from me can cause a shit ton of things.
Am I being selfish? Probably.
"There you are, Dacey! Mind if I join you?"
Emilia took the rock glass just halfway to my lips. I glared as she took a shot and her face wrinkled in disgust. "Fuck! You drink the hardest shit" She took a seat opposite me with a smirk that said no good on her lips but then it quickly vanished.
