母女的秘密授课

Ariana couldn’t help, but to make sure Emily had done everything, although she knew she was more than capable of handling the matter. Sometimes, she would apologize to her because she put so much pressure, but of course, Emily wouldn’t take that into account, since she knew how stress she was to know that her other half was in critical condition.

“Colton.” Ariana entered the car and sat on the backseat, as all of her focus was on the gamma, she made a brief check and this made Colton chuckled.

“I am fine, you have taught Emily perfectly, she knows what she was doing,” Colton said lightly, but he immediately clamped his mouth when he saw how Emily glared at him.

She didn’t take this matter light at all.

“You are fine…” she sighed deeply and snuggled to his arms. The healer even forgot that they were not alone in this car, until Emily giggled.

“You don’t even look at me, I am offended,” Emily teased her, which only then Ariana lifted her head and then asked both Emily and Eros. “We are fine, thank you for asking.”

She wanted to tease her further, but Ariana was too distraught and she stopped at that. instead, she threw a furtive glance at Eros, who didn’t say anything during their trip. He was not a man with too many words, but during this time, he was exceptionally quiet.

This fact alone bothered Emily, she really wanted to know what was in his mind. She wanted to know if that white hair girl was in his mind? Yet, she was afraid to hear the answer.

.....

They drove in silence once again, as Ariana was content to have her mate back and see herself that he was not in any critical condition.

But, for the first time in her life, Ariana was holding a grudge.

The healer was a quiet girl and chose to stay out of the conflict, just like Colton. Both of them would go with the flow and didn’t bother with anything else, even the power shifted, from alpha Xerxes to alpha Liam, they survived because of their blind loyalty to whoever the alpha at that time.

Yet, this incident had made Ariana realized this wouldn’t be the last time Liam would put his subordinate in danger. He wouldn’t think twice to put either Eros, Colton or anyone else in danger, as long as he could reach his goal.

For him, they were replaceable and didn’t matter much.

Ariana glanced at Eros furtively. She wanted to know more about this young lycan…

======================

After they returned to the pack house, Eros and Colton were summoned to give a report to the alpha, not even had a chance to put their things inside their bedroom, because the warrior said it was urgent.

Some people, who knew that they were going with Josh, asking about him, but Ariana intervened and told them to back off, Emily needed to rest.

She thanked her for that, because she didn’t know what to say at this point, for them to not know that Josh had died, it meant the alpha wanted this not to be disclosed yet.

In the end, Emily skipped lunch and slept throughout the afternoon, but even so, Eros had only returned before midnight.

“Why are you not sleeping yet?” Eros frowned when he saw Emily was still wide awake, he walked into the room haggardly, it was clear to see whatever the discussion that Eros had with Liam, it took toll on him and he didn’t enjoy it at all.

“I am waiting for you.” Emily came over and hugged him tightly, she knew that she was being clingy this time, but she couldn’t help it, she felt like Eros would slip through her fingers.

But, just like sands, the more she held onto him tightly, the more she would lose it.

Eros frowned slightly, Emily was not usually like this, but he hugged her back, sensing how uneasy she was. “Have you eaten?” she shook her head. “Come with me, let’s eat. I am hungry.”

Eros essentially had skipped breakfast, lunch and dinner altogether, since he drove all the way back to the pack and only got a piece of bread to keep him going, since he didn’t feel like eating.

Emily lifted her head and then looked at Eros, she expected a kiss, but he didn’t do it.

Was this too much for her to ask him to take the initiative to show his affection toward her? Or this how Eros was. He was not too open with that kind of things.

For some reason, Emily knew him, after all they had grown up together, yet at the same time, she didn’t know him. It was confusing…

“Okay, will you cook for me?” Emily said cheerfully, hiding her convoluted thought. She had been anxious all this time ever since Eros met with Zuri. She felt like she would snatch him away at any moment.

Good thing was; they would never cross path again.

At least, that was what she thought.

“Sure, what do you want?” Eros said, as he grabbed her hand and walked out of the bedroom, this was a simple gesture, but Emily paid more attention to it.

“I want to eat meat.” Emily kissed his arm and grinned at him.

“Okay.”

That was it. It was Eros that she knew, someone that she could rely on and would fulfill all of her wish.

“I love you, Eros,” Emily said, waiting for his reply.
