Chapter 8

Emma's POV:

I left after dinner to go home and actually eat. I was starving. My feeding schedule was completely off. We only lived about 15 minutes away from Mila, which made me very happy.

"Hey Lance, hey Elisia! How were both your days?" As I made eye contact with them, they gave me concerned looks. I could feel the concern in my brother.

"Alright, spit it out." My brother spoke up first. "Em, are you okay?" I huffed in response.

"I'm fine; why wouldn't I be?" That's when Elisia chimed in.

"Stop ignoring it. She's your mate." She said this nonchalantly as if me having a second chance mate shouldn't be impossible. 

"She can't be!" I yelled.

"Em, calm down," Lance said.

"I can't just calm down! This is all just confusing. You're only supposed to have one mate." That's what we have always been taught and known.

"I'm the one who can see the future. So you should just listen to me." I could feel myself start to boil.

"Oh, shut up, Elisia." I scoffed angrily. "I don't want to talk about this right now." I turned to walk out the door, and I just started running.

 I stopped in a few minutes, realizing where I was. I had gone to Milas. I could smell her. She smelled so fucking good. I've never wanted someone so bad. Hmmm, she's listening to music. She's so upset and angry. I'll just calm her down. Once I knew she was asleep, I went up to her balcony and gently picked her up. She's so beautiful. I took out her earphones and tucked her into her bed. She didn't have much in her room. It was so big, but all I saw was a small duffel bag.

Mila woke up gasping for air... I was in the closet peeking through. She was holding her throat and was in so much pain. I could see her nightmare. I hate this man so fucking much for what he's done to my Mila. She got up and rinsed herself off, trying to wash away the darkness. I immediately had to make her feel safe. I wanted so badly just to hold her, but I couldn't. So, I just whispered in her head.

"It's okay. You're safe. I won't let anyone hurt you. Mila.. you are so beautiful. Everything will be okay." I could feel her calm down. As she drifted off asleep, I made sure to sit there and control her dreams, so nothing terrible came through. I was going to be her dream catcher.

Before her alarm went off, I ran back to my house. I showered, ate, and changed and drove back to Mila's. I know she didn't sleep well.

"Good morning, Mrs- I mean Anita. May I come in?" She gave me a welcoming smile.

"Of course, dear, come to the kitchen. I've made breakfast." She moved to the side and held the door open wider for me to come in.

We made pleasant small talk. She's so sweet. I learned a lot about how her mom immigrated from Cuba to the US.

"Anita. Your mom is as brave as you are. I see where Mila gets it from now." I promise I am not just trying to kiss Mila's mom's ass to butter her up and like me. I generally believe what I'm telling her. 

"Thank you, dear." She gave me a small smile. I can see the resemblance between Mila and her.

"I was just coming by to pick up Mila for school and then go pick up Chloe. I know Mila must still be sore, and she's on pain medication." She had a thankful look on her face.

"Of course, dear, I'll call up for her to hurry then." She yelled for the love of my- Whoa there, slow down, Em. As I saw her enter the room, my mood completely changed. I was so eager to see her I couldn't stop smiling. But, as I looked at her black eyes, I felt so bad. I wish I would have been out there to stop the ball. I hate seeing her hurt. It took a little convincing, but she agreed to one day of me taking her to school.
