A Kiss For Your Freedom

It's strange, I'm happy to see her, but I feel like there's a problem. My Wolves would never leave me alone, not when we were in danger. I release her while looking around me.

~ Where are the boys ? I said in a still weak voice.

~ When I think that's why you left everything behind. When 1 think that you abandoned me in some dark shit all to get lai with two guys.

I tense up for a short moment. Her tone is cold, I don't like the way she addresses me. I try to concentrate on my Wolves. They are far, too far from me. Jason's mark emits a slight pain before I feel it spread into my shoulder. He is hurt. I start to panic when I realize this. I have to go see them, I have to find them both, as quickly as possible.

I start to walk towards the front door but after only a few steps, she grabs me by the hair and pulls me back, making me fall. My body is so weak that I am unable to get up as she leans towards me with a glint in her eyes that I don't recognize. - You're not going anywhere, she said. I didn’t do all this to make you run away again. It’s time for you to grow up a little Emma. I did everything for you, so you could go to the best schools, so you could have a career. I turned a blind eye to yo debauched weekends with Mélissa, to your ridiculous tattoos, to your childish attitude. What do you think, that we're building a future with two guys, and even more so with two monsters? You will quickly understand that in life, we have to make choices and this time, it's up to you to sacrifice yourself.

I do not understand. Why is she acting like this? Why am I suddenly almost afraid of the last member of my family. Her fa no longer has anything to do with the one I met every day until recently, she is so cold, I have the impression of being fac to face with another person.

~The family business is in dire straits. I did everything to get us out of there, but our cash flow was partly absorbed in ba investments. I tried to obtain credits but to no avail. I have been struggling for months and months and finally I found th solution. James Karlin, powerful businessman, rich in abundance and above all director of a competing company. He accepted a merger between our respective groups but to make it legitimate, we need you. You're going to marry him. Our families will then be linked and our business saved.

Each of these words hits me right in the heart. She is ready to offer me to a man to save a simple business. I don't understand, I thought that for her and me, that wasn't the most important thing. We've already lost so much that I thougl our bond was more important than money.

I then realize that she was never in danger, she joined forces with this Alpha to get me back, to get rid of the two men in life. Between incomprehension and anger, I look at her with the impression of discovering her as she really is.

“l would never do that," I said, trying to get up.

- Of course you will, she said, slapping me. Its time for you to stop thinking only about yourself and act like our parents’ daughter. Do you really think I'm going to let everything fall apart, their legacies, everything they left us? It's beyond any question. You will do what needs to be done, period.

It's strange, I'm happy to see her, but I feel like there's a problem. My Wolves would never leave me alone, not when we were in danger. I release her while looking around me.

~ That's what you think. They're going to come for me and you're going to regret picking on me. You will regret having dar to betray me.

~ You think ? By now, they are probably dead.

- You have no idea what they are, what unites us. They are not dead and if I feel it, I guarantee you that they can feel me too. You don't know anything about Wolves. Nothing at all, but you will learn and much faster than you think.

Her gaze becomes darker and this time, as she raises her hand to slap me again, I manage to dodge it which makes her even more angry. How can she do this to me, how can she consider me a simple object that she can use as she pleases. However, she should have known that I could never accept that, even if I had not met my Wolves, I would never have offered myself to a man for money.

- You'd better go back to the bedroom, she said coldly. Regain your strength and prepare yourself. I took care of your out In a few hours, your future husband will come to see you and if you are still wondering. You can believe me, he doesn't cz if you consent or not. He is more than eager to see you and make you his wife. You will give him descendants who will on consolidate his empire.

She's crazy, I don't see any other possibility. She doesn't understand how much she can hurt me. I manage to get up and return to this room. I have to find a solution to escape, to leave this house in which I felt safe for years.

jason’s POV.

I blame myself for getting hurt. I can only slow Dorian down while Emma is in danger. My Wolf won't be able to run such 2 distance, because I'm sure she brought him home, it remains to be seen why.

I return to my human form, grimacing, my shoulder is badly damaged, more than I thought. Dorian does the same while I tell him,

- I'm sorry, but you will go faster without me.

~ You know as much as I do that we couldn't keep our Wolf form the whole way without risking being seen. We're going to go there by motorbike. And we will bring her back, I guarantee it.

~ I'm not sure I can last that long.

- Of course you will hold on, you just have to concentrate on her and that will give you the necessary strength. We have t 0 together Jason. Both. I wouldn't save her by leaving you behind.

These words touch me more than he can imagine and when I feel this rush of love emanating from our bond, I can only take a step to kiss him, making him understand that I love him as much as I can love Emma.

I would hang on, I would do what had to be done. He trusts me and I don't want to disappoint him. I climb up behind him and put my good arm around his waist.

- Ready, he asks?

- Ready. Lets go find our wife.

it starts and quickly picks up speed. I feel like he wants to go as fast as possible and I can't blame him, I want that too. Fi her, find them both and get away from this madness. I hold him as tight as I can as the landscape flies by. It's the first tim since we've been together that he's made me understand that I'm as important as she has those eyes and just for that, I'l do anything to hold on.

Dorian’s POV

I won't risk losing either of them. I know Jason is hurt and I have a feeling Emma was drugged or something. There's no w I'm abandoning either of them. I speed up as Jason holds on to me a little tighter. When I think that the one we were goin to save betrayed us, it makes me mad with rage. Her own sister, her own blood stabbing her in the back. How can such a being walk the same ground as her.

it takes more than two hours to get to my house. I have to heal Jason before I go find her. I can't let him bleed like this without taking care of him. He seems surprised to see that I'm parking, after all, he's never even been here, he didn't hav the time. I get off my bike and push him to do the same.

- Il take care of you and we'll get her.

~ We don't have time for that, he begins to protest.

- We'll take it, I said firmly.

I don't give him a choice and pull him inside before running into the bathroom to get a first aid kit. The wound is deep, bi apart from a scar, I doubt he will have any after-effects. I just need to disinfect and bandage the wound properly. He lets me do it, reluctantly, but I look into his eyes to tell him,

~ I love you as much as I love Jason. I can't leave you like this without doing anything. Let me take care of you and we'll g straight afterwards, I swear.

It's the first time I've told him, I know it and I would have preferred it to happen in different circumstances but it's strong than me. He must understand that I would not put him after her. Never. They are on an equal footing, they are as importa as each other. I do the right thing, clean and bandage her wound and less than an hour later, we are ready to pick her up. We get back on my motorcycle and speed off to his company, as we had planned to do from the start. If her sister isn't there, we'll probably find out where she is at her box. She couldn't have left like that without warning, or saying where sh was in case of a problem. We're going to find her and it might not go well. Not going well at all.

Emma's POV

For over an hour I've been in this room, alone. I heard my sister calling someone, I guess it was this James. I've already heard about him, he has an execrable reputation, that of a person who treats these employees like nothing, who fires wit all his might, a man you don’t want to meet in your life .

I can't get through the window, it's a skylight and given the height of the house I could never go down without breaking neck. I sigh as I look at this dress lying on a chair. If she thinks I'm going to wear that, she's dreaming, I wouldn't play into her game, I wouldn't do what she expects of me. They're getting closer, I can feel it, my marks are shivering. No matter wh she plans to do, I will stand up to her, I will buy time. She betrayed me and even worse than that, I could never forgive he
