Sleeping With The Enemy (BoyxBoy)

Chapter Thirty Seven

--Emmett's POV--
Lucien didn't come back until dinner time where Ren and I were standing around in the kitchen preparing dinner for James and Daniel who were coming over with Iris. "Is Lucien alright? He was seeming very distant when he was talking to the council" Ren squeaked setting a platter of food onto the counter.

"Cressida and Lucien went through hell cut and bleeding for eachother because of their father, he's the only person he cares about" I mumbled taking the empty plates from Valley.

"The only OTHER person he cares about, you are one of them otherwise he wouldn't of asked you to marry him." Ren scoffed grinning down at the ring on my finger.

I opened my mouth to protest when my phone started buzzing on the counter "One sec, I'll be back" I smiled picking up my phone and fleeing into the next room.

"Nick hey. Are you almost here yet?" I asked stiffling a yawn sprawling out on one of the couches.

"I'm an hour out on foot, I kinda ran away from Nolan." He mumbled into the receiver, I facepalmed sitting up on the couch.

"Why?" I tilted my head in confusion resting on my palm leaning my elbow on the top of the couch.

"I slept with him." He said quickly and I gasped a little, I bet that werewolf got him all liquored up to have sex with him.

"Did he force you?" I growled digging my nails into the fabric of the couch.

"No, I-It just happened. Then I brought up his girlfriend and then it turned heated so I ran" He laughed bitterly, I knew he was beating himself up over this it was so easy to hear it in his voice.

"I'll come get you, do you have an idea where you are?" I asked digging my car keys out of my pocket before abandoning them again to apparate instead.

"Uhm" He mumbled the line going silent for a moment before he spoke "There's a giant shark statue in the park across from where I am standing-" His voice suddenly dropped out again and I heard static before the call reconnected.

"Don't worry Emmie, I'll take care of Nick"

My stomach dropped churning angrily at his voice, the voice of our bestest friend turned evil traitor "You listen here! You don't touch him!" I snarled slamming open the door and running out into the main hall before he hung up on me. Panic took over and I broke into a full sprint, I hadn't noticed the figure appear in front of the door and I collided head on with them.

"Hey Emmett, what's wrong? You're very flustered" Lucien started to frowned dropping his hands to my shoulders planting me in place.

"Tommy had Nick. I have to get him before he takes my other best friend" I swallowed when an evil glare grew on his face and stepped aside to let me out. I had channelled most of my energy into apparating that I almost collided with yet another person which matched the description of this werewolf guy.

"Hey! You there!" I yelled running to catch up to him, the guy turned in confusion stopping in his tracks.

"Can I help you?" He asked frowning at me suspiciously crossing his arms.

"You're Nolan right?" I gasped leaning against the lamp pole to catch my breath

"Yeah, how'd you know?" He shifted awkwardly from foot to foot.

"I'm Emmett, I got a call from Nick. The gathering was postponed for now because of hell duties..but I think our friend has gotten to him." My voice trembled as that familiar lump forced up into my throat.

"Well what are we waiting for?" He snapped turning away from me and running off in the opposite direction.

I took off in the twisted maze of alleyways down the side of each and every building trying to find my only friend in the world, I spotted the familiar shark statue Nick had mentioned and I peered into the nearest alleyway. "Nick!?" I yelped breaking into a sprint over to his limp body laying in a pool of his own blood "Open your eyes Nick!" I begged cradling his head in my hands pulling him up into my arms trying to hold pressure to the wound spurting blood onto the white of his shirt.
