Everyone stared at her, amazed.

" What?" Kate asked, unable to believe what Emy said.

" Why would he do that? Neorah is his girlfriend. And you are their enemy. So why on earth did he wanted to let you know about her plans?" Max queried.

" Exactly." James added.

" That was a lie. Neorah was never his girlfriend." Emy paused.

Emy remembered the night Jacob confessed his feelings for her. The day he revealed the soft, true side of him. She could read it from his eyes that he wasn't lying about his feelings for her.

Even though he compelled her to forget everything then, he once again admitted his true feelings to her through the last call he made to her.

"Jacob was mean and cruel to everyone. But somewhere deep he isn't cruel. He still has a soft side. And that was opened before me." Emy grinned.

"He is in love with me." Emy said.

"What?" Every one asked in unison.

"Since when?" James asked, staring wide at her.

" I don't know about that. But he confessed to me on the night Kate and I were invited to your house." Emy's memories trailed back to that night.

" I was tired running behind Kate. I took some rest in between. That's when he appeared before me." She paused.

"At first I thought he was there to attack me. But when he saw me crying, he comforted me. And finally he confessed that he has feelings for me." Emy said.

Kate stared at her in astonishment. So did Max. James didn't utter a word. His mind was flaring with rage. He couldn't digest the fact that his number one enemy was in love with his girlfriend.

"How do you know if he was saying that truthfully? He is a good actor. So we can't trust his intentions." Seth commented.

"Good point." Aiten added.

"I don't really know. But I have a feeling that he is not lying about that. " She answered.

"He even compelled me to forget everything without knowing that I had the vervain pendant with me." Emy spoke.

"Well, that's strange. Why did he compel you to forget?" James  asked, doubtfully.

"It's indeed strange. But finally, we have got rid of all our problems. So, why don't we have a party?" Emy queried.

"That's right. We must celebrate both Neorah's death and this cute  rejoining." Kate replied, tapping on Max's shoulder and eyeing Aiten.

"Let's party." Seth yelled in excitement.

*******************************

Meanwhile, Jacob couldn't calm down his stress. He was not informed about Neorah's death or what had happened at the dark army. For the first time in his life, he hoped that James would go back to Emy as fast as he could so that he would save Emy from Neorah.

Emy's face flashed through his mind. Her elegant eyes and the way it pierced into his.... Her thick brown hair that flowed down her shoulders.... Her warm skin and her cute cheeks that blushed often.... The fragrance her blood gave out.... He knew it would be  tasty.

His fangs always urged him to rip her throat and devour her delicious blood but his heart always stopped him and converted his hunger into an other feeling, a different emotion - love.

His heart forced him to enclose her within his arms and to provide her protection and comfort.

But he was sure that Emy would never approve that. So he never made that move.
