Chapter 15~
It was a long and awkward walk home. Although I didn't do any of the walking. I dangled over Damien's shoulder trying to keep my head up as much as I could so I didn't pass out. I saw we passed the building next to mine and I felt my stomach drop. My mom came into view and looked at me with sympathy, I gave her a sad excuse of a smile. Damien's shoulder continued to dig into me until we reached my home and he put me down not so gently. My mom got out her key and Damien watched her intently trying to not look at me obviously. I huffed and turned on my heel and started to run to the stairs. I didn't make it very far before arms circled my waist, I let out a cry of surprise and at that moment I knew struggling was useless. Sighing in defeat I let my head just rest on his arm as he walked me back to the door. Again I wasn't even walking, my feet weren't even touching the ground for crying out loud!
"Do you not understand how ridiculous you are acting right now?" I questioned him. He didn't answer and instead gave a low growl. "No? Because I do. I think it's quite obvious I would like to be alone and not touched." Again nothing. I mumbled incoherent words under my breath and in about two seconds I was dropped on something soft. I looked down to the couch and saw my mom on my left rubbing my arm for comfort. I don't know why, Damien hasn't blown up yet. He just sat on the coffee table in front of me, staring. It's quite creepy actually. And then I knew what was coming as his eyes turned pitch black and his face went from emotionless to extremely angry in seconds.
"WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU JUST WALK OUT OF THE HOUSE LIKE THAT?" There it is. I went to say something but before I could open my mouth he stood up and continued his rant. "YOU ARE NOT FUCKING FIVE SO STOP ACTING LIKE YOU ARE." Okay. Back the fuck up.
"Excuse me?" My eyes narrowed and so did his. "No. You know what? You're right. So fucking right." He opened his mouth to say something but I held my hand up and stood up, signalling him to be quiet. "I'm not five but you know what that means? I don't need you always there when I go somewhere. I am aloud to be alone when I feel like it. You have no idea what I have been through. So don't act like you can just come into my life and suddenly just control every little aspect because you can't" He looked at me like a 3 year old who just got his toys taken away but only for a second.
"I think now is not the time for this sweetheart." My mom said while patting my shoulder. "How about I make some food and you can shower and both of you can calm down and sit and talk like adults." I went to agree but the king of assholes over here had other ideas.
"That won't be necessary Ms. Greene. Emma and I will be Returning back to the castle. It was a pleasure to stay here and we will visit again soon but I have duties to attend too." I was going to argue but my mother answered before I could.
"Oh that's alright dear, I understand. Em go pack up clothes while Damien and I talk." My mouth open in surprise. Once I realized what was happening, I shook my head and rolled my eyes before turning towards the hallway and walking to my room. I opened my closet and grabbed my duffle bag and angrily stuffed any clothes into the bag. When most of my things were put into my bag I went to the bathroom and grabbed everything I needed while grabbing my phone charger.
"Emma. you guys are leaving!" My mom called. I walked out of the bathroom and to the front door. My mom wrapped her arms around my shoulders but I stubbornly left my hands by my side. When she pulled away I gave a quiet goodbye and stomped my way to the stairs. I was so not waiting for the elevator with him. I heard him calling my name but I ignored him and continued my way towards the lobby of the building.
Seeing the driver from earlier waiting by the limo I walked over to it and opened the door myself rejecting the idea that the driver does it. throwing my bag in I got in after and saw Damien walking towards the car. I went to the other side of the limo and put my head on the door. Damien got it and waited for the driver to shut the door making me roll my eyes.
"Emma stop acting like a brat," Damien growled out through his teeth. I rolled my eyes for what seems like the tenth time today.
"Whatever you say princess." He didn't seem to take my words lightly. suddenly I pulled from my position and onto his lap. "Hey! Get off of me!" I demanded.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He whispered. He seemed very hurt and I stopped my big mouth from saying something smart. I didn't answer and instead looked away from him. "Who did it?" His voice very low and quiet. I shook my head and my eyes started to feel like they were burning. I put my head on Damien's shoulder and started to cry. He gently rubbed my back and whispered sweet words in my ear. Hiccuping I calmed down a little bit and took a gulp of breath.
"George. General George."
~~~
I had my arms and legs wrapped around Damien like a koala bear. He tried to put me down once we made it to the palace but I almost had a heart attack. Damien made me feel comfortable but after that flashack of my dad, I didn't want to be near anyone else. I was surprised when I told Damien who did it. I was even more surprised when he believed me. I was half asleep by the time we made it back.
"Alpha Damien. Would you like for me to take your bags?" A soft voice asked. Damien kindly refused.
"No thank you. But can you tell General George to meet me in my office. Now." The woman didn't say anything after that and I assumed she left. "I'll do anything to keep you safe my love." Damien whispered in my ear before I let the darkness consume me.
~~~
I felt light burning through my eye lids and I cried out in annoyance. I felt hands wrap around my waist and something sheilded the light from my eyes. Blinking them open, I gently rubbed them and looked up to see a perfect tanned chest. Blushing, I took my hands and placed them on Damien's chest, trying to push him away. He tightened his hold on me and chuckled. I met his stare and he gave me a tired smile. He bent down a little and kissed my forehead.
"Goodmorning baby." His husky voice sent shivers down my spine and I suddenly felt turned on. What if he sounded like that when we- holy crap I'm turning into a pervert. I was snapped out of my thoughts when his hand glided down to my legs, gently stroking them until he squeezed my butt. I gasped and glared at him. He gave a small laugh and bent down to kiss me. I quickly turned my head away and he kissed me cheek instead. Frowning at him I pushed his hands away.
"I have to brush my teeth before you decide to kiss me. Have you even heard of morning breath?" I got up and made my way towards the bathroom. I felt his eyes on me the entire time, making me turn red. Once I finished my business, I took my hair down from the day old bun and used the brush I saw sitting there on the bathroom counter. Sighing at my now frizzy hair, I put it in a ponytail and made my way out of the bathroom.
"Emma?" Damien whispered as I crawled back in bed beside him. I hummed in response. "I talked to General George." and just like that my heart dropped.
I'm gonna be honest. I thought about deleting this story because I'm not giving it a lot of attention but I decided against it. A special thanks to everyone who is still reading <3
