Chapter Twenty Seven
Christian’s POV
I looked around my office, it was a mess with scattered pictures of Emilia. Emilia when we first met, when she gave birth to Maison, when we announced our engagement and our wedding. All lies, LIES! I growled and dumped them all on the floor as I took another gulp of whiskey.
“You’re going to pay and that damn mate of yours!”
Dad and mama were right, she didn’t love me, she never did, but I’ll be damned if she got away with it.
“Christian?”
I growled as the door opened.
“Leave me alone.”
“I think you might want this visit.”
The door opened and in Taylor came.
“What the fuck are you doing here?”
“We need to talk to you.”
“I have nothing to say to you.”
I tried not to look at her, the bond we made before was slowly creeping it’s self back into my bones.
“You need to leave.”
“She’s with him and he’s planning on attacking you and she’s helping him.”
My hand broke the glass and I lunged at her, pinning her to the door.
“How do you know this?”
“He’s hiding her in the tree house. He’s planning on destroying you so he could have her.”
“Never!”
“She was using you, I told you, but you wouldn’t listen.”
“That is not your problem.”
“That baby isn’t yours, it’s his.”
“That’s a lie!”
My body began to shake and I couldn’t help but sit back on my desk and break down.
“It’s all a lie.”
She then wrapped her arms around me as she let me cry, but I had a better idea. She had taken my mind off of Emilia before, she can do it now.
Without asking, I yanked her sweater over her head and kissed her, twisting her onto my desk. I wasn’t in the mood to be nice and ripped the rest of her clothes off plunging into her. I kept my eyes on her trying to keep myself from thinking of her, but my eyes landed on a picture of her as she slept. She had a smile on her face. The same smile she use to have before she went to California.
My speed increased and I could feel it coming. The memories of her going there and finding him only made me angry once more. She was supposed to be mine and no one else’s, but he took her and now they were both going to pay for what they’d done to me.
I looked back down at Taylor to see her on the verge herself. I sped up and came, pulling out and zipping up my pants.
“What are they planning on doing?”
“Kill you.”
I smirked.
“Fat chance.”
“He’s got it all figured out. The way he’s going to rush in here without a word and turn it into an all out war.”
“Oh it’ll be a war alright.”
I took one last look at Emilia’s picture and crumbled the picture before stepping out.
“Christian wait!”
But I didn’t stop and left back home. If war is what he wanted, war was what he was going to get and Emilia was going to find out who I really was.
Emilia’s POV
Every minute that I was away from him and everyone telling me things, the more confused I was. The pictures of my mom and him were the last straw. I couldn’t believe mom would do such a thing and with my husband. I stayed away from Mauricio as much as I could, but I could see him through the window having meeting, talking on the phone and thinking.
I needed to talk to him and when the rain finally led up I had used Maison as an excuse to see him and maybe get him to let me talk to Christian, but as soon as I felt the ache in my heart I knew it was too late. Taylor had gotten to him and now he was here.
“No, let me talk to him!”
“No! GO!”
Evan pulled me and Maison out and down through the woods. I held onto Maison as we ran, hearing growls and screams break out.
“Mommy.”
“Shhh… it’s okay.”
Then I felt a bite against my leg.
“Ah!”
I fell down, letting go of Maison.
“Evan take Maison!”
But Evan had already shifted.
“No Evan, run!”
But it was too late, Evan lunged, but was cut off by another on the side.
“Evan!”
I tried to get up, but my leg was bitten deep, keeping from using it.
“Mommy you’re bleeding!”
“It’s okay.”
A yelp rang out and the wolf that bit me had Evan down by the throat.
“Please!”
But he bit down anyway and I hid Maison’s face from seeing Evan take his last breath, but Maison knew.
“Mommy.”
“Shhh… it’s okay. Now I need you to do something for me…”
I could see both wolves making their way to me.
“I need you to run. Run as fast as you can and don’t look back. I will find you where ever you are, I promise.”
“No, I can’t.”
“Yes you can.”
I pulled his face away from my neck and looked at him.
“I will find you, no matter where you go, I will find you. Now on three you need to go.”
“But…”
I could see them ready to attack when I pushed Maison out of the way and shifted, protecting Maison. I barked at him and made him run. When I felt the first bite I turned and attacked.
Mauricio’s POV
I saw him watching, as fights broke out. I ran growling at him until he turned and we both shifted, attacking each other. It was evident that we were both out for blood and to finally end this.
Nothing was off limits and because of it most of each other’s pack was gone by the time either one of us pulled away.
“DADDY!”
Without thinking I turned and shifted to go to him, but he took advantage of it and attacked me from behind.
“NO! DADDY!”
My body fell to the ground and I was just barely hanging on when I saw Taylor grab Maison and take him away.
“Mais…on.”
Christian’s POV
I watch him laying there, limp. I summoned everyone back and most of my wolves were hurt, but heeling fast.
‘Anyone find Emilia?’
No one answered and I was about to run to find her when one of my men came out carrying her limp body. I growled, but was ignored as he made his way to Mauricio and laid her down.
“Mommy!”
My eyes adverted to Maison struggling in Taylor’s arms.
“Mommy no!”
He managed to break away and run to both his parents, lying down with both of them. Everyone watched as he cried his little heart out, but I had other plans.
‘Move out.’
There was nothing left for us to do here, all who needed to pay were gone.
