Emma
I woke up to sunshine dancing on my checks. I looked out my window to see two squirrels chasing each other. I had remembered being thrown into water by Eli and suddenly felt my happy mood turn into an extremely dark one. That asshole flung me into the pool to watch me drown!!! I was raging with anger when I heard someone approaching me.
There was then a knock on the door. "Miss may I come in to make your bed? The master sent me." My blood boiled at the mention of his name. "Yes you may come in." I watched as the door creaked open and a young women stepped in. She bowed her head to me and then started making up the sheets I had wrinkled in my sleep. Then that's when I smelt it. The smell of pinewood and trees. The smell of nature at its finest. Eli's scent was flooding my nose. I felt my body relax before realization hit me.
HE SLEPT WITH ME!!!!! The maid looked at me with a terrified expression. I was always awful at hiding my anger. She suddenly hurried up her work and scurried out after a quick bow. I then went to the closet to change my clothes. I found a black leather jacket with black leggings. I always loved the color black. I quickly threw it on and put my hair in a French braid. I walked out of my room and down a long set of stairs that went down to the dinning room.
I was already thinking about seeing my dad. I had images of him hugging me closely with his warmth filling me. I was at the bottom step when I bumped into a big figure. I immediately knew who it was... Eli. I starred at his broad figure. He was wearing black jeans with a white fitted shirt that outlined his beautifully carved muscles. "Like the view?" He said in a teasing tone. "Yes sir." I said lazily before I realized what came out of my mouth. "I meant NO!!" He gave a slight chuckle and then grabbed my hand and walked me to the dinning room. All my anger from the previous day suddenly vanished at the touch of his hand.
We sat down and ate breakfast. We had fruits, biscuits, and eggs. I wasn't really that hungry so I ate little and most of it was fruit. Apparently Eli noticed this so he started putting food on my plate saying that if I did not eat it then he would not let me go visit my father. I suddenly ate everything on the plate and went to get up when Eli pushed his chair in. He walked me outside to his beautiful Lamborghini.
I was gaping at the car when I suddenly heard him start to chuckle. "Do you like it?" He said while laughing. "Yes" I said while nodding my head vigorously. "Then it's yours." He said in a serious tone. I was utterly shocked. I was at a loss of words so then I thought 'he is probably just joking.' I went inside the car and sat down. It had leather seats and looked awesome. We rode in silence until I saw the creek that I pretty much grew up at. Every summer I would go swim at the creek and every winter I would use the water to train my powers. It felt like just days ago. Eli pulled up to my drive way that led to a two bedroom two bath log cabin.
As soon as I got out of the car I was greeted with a cool breeze from the wind. I ran up the steps of my house and knocked on the door. No one answers so I do it again. Then I can hear footsteps down the hall. I take a few steps back and rack my mind of things I am going to say.
Eli comes behind me and grabs my hand. He then plants a single kiss on and says "don't be nervous". Then as fast as he grabbed it he let it go. The next second the door opened with a tall man inside. I ran into his arms as soon as he lifted them. "Welcome home" he said with a bright smile. He then turned towards Eli with a serious expression. "Please come in alpha." Eli walked in and my father shut the door behind him. "Emma why don't you go make some tea for our guest." "Why do I have to go do it?" I said not wanting to leave the two men alone. "Emma now!!" He said in an angry tone I have never heard before. I scurried away into the kitchen to make the stupid tea.
Eli
Eli was sitting on the couch he had a calm expression on but inside he didn't know what to expect from the old man. He watched as his only comfort left to make tea. "Why did you pick my daughter?" The old man said. "I saw her before the ceremony using her powers and I was intrigued" Eli said. "My daughter is special to me I will not let you be with her just because you are intrigued."
"I was first intrigued with your daughter but at the ceremony I found that she is my true mate. I am sure you know how the bonds of mates work right?" The old man nodded his head so Eli continued on. "I yearn to be with with Emma even now. I would never had chosen her at the ceremony if I was just intrigued with her." The old man then spoke. "I believe you on that but if any harm comes to her I can make your life hell." Eli looked calm but on the inside he was sweating like dog. "I promise your daughter is safe with me." After those words left his mouth he felt a presence and immediately knew it was his mate. She walked in holding a tray with small tea cups on them. She then put the tea cups on the table and sat down. Eli relaxed at her presence but was mad when she sat two seats away from him. They were both on a black soft couch that seated four and she was the whole couch away.
She looked worried. Eli wanted to go over there and hold her in his arms and comfort her but he knew that he couldn't do that in front of her father so he pushed the thought aside. "I would like your daughter to live with me." He said trying to break the silence. "What?!"
Emma gasped in shock and he suddenly felt sad that she did not want to stay with him. Although he did throw her into a pool and almost made her drown. "I think that as your mate and alpha you should stay with me. I can assure your safety and protect you as long as you are with me." Eli said while praying that her father would agree. "She may stay with you but I swear if you lay a hand on her I will- "you do not have to worry I will keep her safe and will not touch her without her consent." The old man nodded his head in agreement.
Eli sighed a quiet sigh of relief and looked at Emma. She was expressionless and made him feel guilty. He watched as she got up and went to her room. He knew that she was packing. A few moments later she came back with a small duffel bag. She looked at her father and then hugged him. She kissed his cheek and that's when he saw it. A tear in her eye. It was gone within the second she blinked. His heart felt heavy at the thought of her crying. As soon as they walked out of the house and got near the car he embraced her with a warm hug.
He knew she was shocked by his sudden action but she did not try to move away. He then let her go and walked her to the car failing to notice the red that suddenly appeared on her cheeks.
