Chapter 15 CHAPTER FIFTEEN
ROMAN’S POV
Roma’s eyes followed every action Miss Falcon made, suspiciously. His mum welcomed her in, inviting her to join them at the dinner table. She preparing a plate for her, and his father, who has yet to utter any words in his direction.
Roman looked at him, wondering if he was that angry to the extent he didn’t even ask how he was feeling.
“How are you?” Roman Miss Falcon asked, smiling at him.
“I am ok,” thank you. Roman responded, scrunching his eyebrows together.
“And you Emily?" she asked, turning towards her.
Emily glanced at her, refusing to answer. “She is fine, " Roman said instead.”
Miss Falcon smiled, amusement in her eyes. It seems Emily is very attached to you, Roman, she said.
Yes, like a kuala bear, Bella chirped in. Roman here thinks she is his mate.
Bella!!!! He grumbles, embarrassed at the sudden attention everyone was giving him.
Why do you think so? Miss Falcon, asked him.
He glared at Bella, who just shrugged her shoulders. It’s nothing, he replied to Miss Falcon, pushing the remaining food on his plate around.
She didn’t say anything, but he could tell from her gaze that this topic was far from over.
Sweetie Miss Falcon called, slowly, to Emily, speaking as if she was talking to a wounded animal. Can you remember what happened to you? she asked.
Emily shook her head, sinking deeper into her seat, by now her head was barely above the table.
She can't, Roman replied immediately, sensing how uncomfortable all this made Emily feel.
Stop speaking for her his dad said angrily, finally acknowledging him. Let her speak, we need to know what happened to her.
But she doesn’t remember, Roman said, he felt agitated. And all this pushing is making her uncomfortable.
Roman!! His mother called sharply, he glanced at her, noticing the sharp look in her eyes. Fine, he was going to shut up if that’s what they wanted. He sighed, folding his hands across his chest as he glared at everyone around the table, his gaze softening as he met that of Emily’s.
After dinner, his dad excused himself, him and Miss Falcon going into the study.
After a while Miss Falcon came out, with his dad. Emily dear, come here Miss Falcon called, gesturing for Emily to come to her.
What!!!! No Roman blurted out, standing up from the chair he had been sitting on. Am sorry Roman, Miss Falcon said sadly. But Emily needs to stay with me for a while, till everything is sorted out.
Come here Roman called, beckoning for Emily to stand behind him. Without knowing why, Roman could feel what Emily was feeling.
His wolf paced around his head, feeling threatened. Hurriedly, Emily ran to him, hiding behind his back.
You said she was going to stay with Bella, Roman said, facing his mum. You lied to me, he growled out.
His mum sighed, Roman come on, this behavior of yours is ridiculous. She said, you can’t just keep Emily in your room forever. Don’t you want her to find her family? I am sure they are very worried, looking for her.
Roman bit his lips, conflicted. Yes he wanted Emily with her family, but he also wanted Emily close to him.
His mother smiled softly, seeing the conflicted look in his eyes. Look, when we find out who she is, then you can go visit her. And for the meantime, let her stay with Miss Falcon so she monitors her health better.
She is not leaving till we find her family, you can still see her, she added. Roman sighed, as much as he didn’t trust Miss Falcon, his mother made a good point. It was selfish of him to keep her all to himself. She needed her family, just like he had his.
Ok, he said. But can she go tomorrow please!!!
His mother sighed, before looking towards Miss Falcon.
Ok, Miss Falcon said, but early tomorrow, I am coming for her. I don’t want to hear any protest, when I do come, you hear me?
Roman nodded his head, a wide grin on his face as he took Emily’s hand, slowly going up the stairs to his room.
He closed the door as they got to his room, hugging Emily tightly. For some reason, he was scared that if she left his side, he wasn’t going to see her again.
I know this might sound selfish, he said to her, but I don’t want you to go.
I wish you could just stay with us forever.
They lazed around on his bed, each deep in their own thoughts, till they both drifted off to sleep.
Screaming woke Roman up, he blinked, wondering if it had been a dream. Then he heard it again, Emily was screaming, her beautiful brown eyes, dark red. Open and frozen, as if forced to watch a horrible sight.
She screamed again, thrashing. Hey, wake up Roman called, shaking her as he tried to wake her up from whatever she was dreaming of.
She thrashed about, growling. her claws scratching his cheeks, as he tried to hold her. His room door burst open, his dad, mum and Bella standing there alarmed at the sight before them.
Help!! Roman cried, as he hugged Emily close to his chest.
Emily howled painfully, her body half changed as Roman watched, surprised at such a sight. He had never seen a Werewolf, who had the ability to not change fully.
Emily pushed him away from her, crouching as she growled at his family. She stood in front of him, shielding him with her body, unconsciously protecting him from his family.
Roman!! Come here, his mother called fearfully, the sight in front of her unbelievable.
Before she could move towards him, Emily pounced on her, clawing at her hands and face.
His mum screamed as Roman stood there, frozen and shocked.
His father howled loudly, anger coursing through his body at the sight of his mate. He changed into his wolf, knocking Emily off his wife.
Emily’s howl of pain snapped Roman from whatever frozen state he was in.
He moved towards Emily, but his mum, who was bleeding from the wounds Emily had inflicted on her, dragged him and Bella away from the room.
Roman screams as he thrashes against his mum and sister, their hold on him tight as he growls at them, trying to go back to Emily.
Don’t kill her he screams at his dad, watching as him and Emily fought viciously.
