**NICHOLAS' POV**
"Sleep, we'll figure it out tomorrow." Emily said then slept and I followed suit.
Who I am kidding, I possibly couldn't have slept so easily knowing that we are most likely sharing a roof with hunters.
I noticed how Emily stayed awake but unmoving, 'Is she waiting for me to sleep?' I thought to myself. But why would she?
I stabilized by breath and heartbeat to make it seem as though I was asleep. Then I felt her wave her hand across my face, most likely checking if I was asleep of which I pretended to be. Then after she was sure I was asleep, she silently left the room.
What is she up to?
I stayed up waiting for her. 'Where do you think she has gone.' I asked Mars. 'Maybe to drink water.' He said. I looked at the side table that had more than enough water for the night.
'I don't think so, given her impulsive behavior, do you think she's gone to attack the humans.' I asked Mars. 'Emily is not impulsive. She seems to act rush but she doesn't do something she hasn't thought through. He said. 'And how do you know that?' I asked. 'Instinct.' Was all he said before going quiet.
I waited for a while longer before deciding to go out and find her.
The sight that welcomed me as soon as I walked out was not in the least bit pleasant.
Simon, my gamma had his hand on her neck. At first, I thought he was strangling her, but upon closer inspection he didn't look like he was strangling her. If anything, he had a passionate look on his face, I noticed her hand on his chest and how breathless she looked.
What were they doing?
They both looked disheveled, were they kissing? In most cases I'd be thrilled to find Simon messing around with a girl, given his mostly reserved temperament but the girl he's with right now makes my blood boil.
Is this why he was against the idea of Emily being queen, because he didn't want us to share a room? But if they are together then what was what we did earlier. Images of earlier came crushing in my brain.
The way she wrapped her hand around my cock giving me the best hand-job ever, her voice when she moaned. Was she toying with me, does she do the same with Simon? Just the idea of them being intimate together was driving me mad, all I wanted to do was spill blood.
My gamma's blood to be precise.
'What's going on here?" my voice roared before I could even stop it. The panicked look on both of them did a very good job at fueling my anger.
Oh, now they are guilty.
I was trying hard to stop Mars from pouncing on Simon. What I don't understand is, why does he care. It was hard enough to deal with my own anger but now I have to also refrain my wolf.
I subconsciously moved and the next thing I knew was that I was throwing a punch that Emily effortlessly caught. Just how strong is she because that was a full force, rage filled punch.
"Oh, now you're protecting him." I asked I felt hurt, why was she protecting him. "No, I'm protecting you. Because I know that you don't want to hit your gamma, you are upset right now, and your anger is justifiable, but you'd want to know what happened before you rush into punching your gamma." She said calmly trying to calm my anger.
It was working and I hated it, I hated how she makes me feel. The thing I hated the most is not knowing why she makes me feel that way, she's not my mate but she makes me feel things I should only feel with my mate.
I looked at the hand that was still on Simon's chest and I felt the anger that was cooling down boil up again. I had to get away from here before I murder my own gamma.
I rushed out and quickly shifted into Mars as I let him take control. My black far blending in well with the night, his paws hitting angrily on the ground. He badly wanted to just turn back and beat Simon to death, but he knew Emily was right.
We didn't want to do anything that would harm our gamma. Besides, Emily isn't our mate. We ran fast deep into the woods.
Before I knew it, I realized that Mars had brought us to the lake mother used to bring us whenever we were upset, sad or scared. The last time I was here was when my parents were killed.
I shifted back, no one was allowed here so there were no clothes for me to wear. Who cares anyway, I'm alone. Even if I was standing here admiring the sight of the lake butt naked it didn't matter.
The lake was indeed a beautiful sight, it had a mini waterfall and beautiful stoned that glittered with the moon light making them look like diamonds.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" I heard Emily's voice from behind me. I don't remember her chasing after me, so how did she find me? She threw a robe at me and that's when I noticed she was also wearing one.
Did she come here in her wolf form? I've always wanted to meet her wolf.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as I looked away from her to face the lake. "I followed you." She said matter of fact. "Why." I asked coldly. "I don't like seeing you upset." She said as she came to stand next to me.
Hearing her say that calmed me down a bit. "Nothing is going on between me and Simon." She explained out of nowhere. "I don't care." I lied. "Then do you mind explaining why we are here." She asked.
I went silent because I didn't know what to say. "He was warning me, or should I say threatening me to not hurt you in anyway." She explained. An explanation I didn't even know I needed, because as soon as she gave it, I felt calm.
"Why even bother explaining, there is nothing between us." I said, remembering that I shouldn't care because there is nothing between us, but somehow saying that hurt.
"My best friend and I would come here whenever we wanted to just get away from our lives." She said shocking me. One I was surprised that someone else knew about this place and two, I remember she said she had amnesia.
"I thought you said you didn't remember people who were in your life." I said surprised. "I lied." She confessed.
Wait what?
