Emma was having a boring day. Everything in her body was telling her to head out and meet Lisa.
She also wanted to see her mate and spend some time with her, but doing that would have made her seem desperate.
From what she knew of humans, most did not like desperate people chasing after them. They wanted to see authority in their partners and a sense of stability.
Emma needed to act cool and mysterious to attract Lisa's attention and keep it on her. And this was the solution she came up with.
Emma thought she was doing very well keeping her distance from Lisa. However, a single call from Nick changed her thoughts and made her question her methods.
"What do you want, leech? Make it quick because I don't have much time for you."
Emma quickly snapped back at the phone, but the person on the other side was deadly quiet. It felt weird not to hear Nick going off or making a happy noise.
The first thing he asked Emma alarmed her.
