The Alpha’s Addiction - Chapter 102

Emma blinked her eyes repeatedly, as if trying to clear an invisible fog laying idly in her head, as she held unto Derek’s shirt, waiting for the pain wracking her brain to subside.

“Are you okay, Emma?” She heard Eva asked for the hundredth time as the others, and slightly nodded, not wanting to cause the little girl to worry.

But it didn’t seem like the little girl saw this little action of hers, because in the next second, she, the little beauty told Derek and the others about what had happened earlier, when they had been out searching for the burglar.

“Derek, would Emma really be okay? This is the second time that this is happening.” The little girl had said, causing her older counterparts to gasp in suprise.

“You don’t believe me?” She asked, when she noticed that they were just looking at her like she had muttered an impunity.

“You can ask her, if you don’t believe me.” She muttered, folding her little arms across the chest, not entirely pleased on not being taken serious or believed.

“Okay, okay.” Maya said. “We would have to wait for Emma to get herself first.” She added, looking at Eva, who just nodded, before moving towards Shane, who carried her up to sit on his laps since he was sitting down.

Derek heard what his sister had said, believed her actually, but was still skeptical about it. When had it happened? Was it before they came back? His little witch would tell him anything that happens, right? He thought, still holding on to her.

“I’m fine now.” Emma muttered, dropping her right hand from her head, and taking a step away from the hug.

“What happened?” Derek asked, holding her cheeks with his two hands, while staring into her eyes deeply, as if he could read her mind.

“I want to sit down first.” Emma replied, not really answering his question. She didn’t want to tell him that she had gotten another bit of her memory back.

“Oh, yes. Of course.” Derek rushed, holding her by the hands, and leading her to her big bed.

“Here, sit.” He muttered as he got to the bed, gently making her take a seat on the bed, before sitting close to her, still holding her.

“Thank you.” Emma whispered, while thinking of something, not the truth definitely, to say.

“Emma, what happened? How are you feeling?” Maya asked her, immediately she relaxed into the comfort of her bed.

“I don’t know really.” She replied, taking in  deep breaths, like someone who had just been involved in a marathon race.

“Eva told us that it had happened before..” Derek mention, breaking his statement at the end, while waiting for her reply.

“Yeah.” Emma replied crisply, wanting to lie down all of a sudden.

“When was that? Why didn’t you tell us?” Derek queried, worry totally evident in his voice.

“Well, after you guys had left Eva and I outside, to go check out the state of my house inside, we waited for quite a while, and when we didn’t see you all, we decided to come in, damning the consequences. When we did, we noticed the disarray in the house. We had been trying to arrange the house, when all of a sudden, I felt a sharp pain in my pain, like someone was trying into my brain.” Emma stated, staring at each one of them at intervals, trying to guage their reactions, wanting to know if they bought her story or not.

When she noticed that they were all listening attentively to her, swallowing and digesting every word she had been saying; she continued.

“And I didn’t tell you as soon as you guys came in because I was more curious about your findings, and interested on how to rearrange my house; having it mind to let you know especially about it when everything had been arranged and settled.” She concluded, heaving out.

“And that was the same thing that happened few minutes ago? The feeling of your mind being violated or broken into?” Shane queried, finding the statements witchy and scary. He didn’t understand why the witches wanted the redhead that badly. And from what his soon to be alpha, Derek, had said; the phanthom had opined that it was not the only figure searching for the redhead.

” Yeah, exactly.” Emma answered, feeling relieved that they had believed her.

Her eyebrows piqued in curiosity as she watched them glance at each other apprehensively. It seemed to her, that even her lie, might be a pointer to something that had happened in her house, and why they were lying to her.

“Oh, Emma..” She heard Maya mutter, and shrugged.

“I will be okay.” She stated. “Perhaps it’s a side effect of the iron ball strike on my head.” She added, witholding herself strongly from scoffing at the false information which they had fed her.

“Yeah, it surely is.” They all concurred, making her to almost gag at their falseness.

“Did you remember anything though?” Clem asked further.

“No, I didn’t.” She replied, shaking her head too, even though she had, clearly.

She had seen the thick forest again, which Maya had called enchanted in the last memory she had recovered. But this time, she had been leaving, going ahead of them to search for them or something, leaving behind Derek and her alone in the thick forest.

She remembered him trying to making a conversation, but her ignoring him, until he touched her waist. She remembered the ghostly apparition that had zoomed past them. She remembered Derek’s soft kisses on her neck to calm her down, and the delicious grasping of her breasts by him, she remembered that they had kissed repeatedly, she remembered that he had given her the best finger fuck of her life, she remembered that she had wanted to please him too, had wanted to give him a hand job, when suddenly they were interrupted by something.

She couldn’t place her on it, that was were the memory stopped. She didn’t know what had stopped their romance halfway. Her mind was blank again. But she didn’t bother racking it like she did before, it would come by itself, soon. Soon. She thought, still not believing that she had made out with her boyfriend in an open forest, even after seeing an apparition.

” Oh, okay. Don’t worry Baby. Give it time. You will.” She heard Derek say out loud, and cussed him loud in her mind.

“Yeah, I will..” She replied on the outside, putting up a false smile, as she wondered what else they were hiding from her as she looked at each one of them.
