A Kiss For Your Freedom
Chapter 36

POV Eléa

Emma has been missing for more than two days. She acted without even thinking, without even thinking about me, or everything I sacrificed for her. Sitting in my office, I look at the company's accounts for the twentieth time today as if that could change anything. I tried to talk to her about it, but she left the meeting and disappeared I don't know where. She is the company's last chance. The only one who can keep our little empire from collapsing. If I don't replace her, if I can't bring her back to her senses. We will lose everything, we will have nothing left, nothing at all.

My cell phone rings, I quickly grab it hoping it's her, but it's not and I sigh before I even pick up. I suspected it wouldn't be long before he called.

- Hello Eléa.

- Hello James.

- I have the pleasure to inform you that I will be coming to town in two days. I would like you to organ

- I'm going to need a little more time James.

- You don't have any. Patience is not one of my virtues. We need to close this case and quickly.

nner so that I can meet your sister. We will talk about the final details during the evening.

He hangs up with a huff. I'm up against the wall, I no longer have a choice, I must replace her and above all must bring her back here, before he arrives. If he knows she's missing, he won't help us and the company will definitely go under. In anger, I knock over what's on my desk, letting out a cry of frustration. I was so close to getting there, so close to ensuring a future for us, but she had to leave without giving me any explanations.

My cell phone rings again without it being her. When I answer, my voice is a little firmer than it should be, but I'm on edge,

- Hello, are you the director of Horizon? Asked in a man's voice unknown to me.

- Indeed.

- I'm Jason's boss, your company is handling a big file for me.

-Yes indeed. What can I do for you sir?

- I had a slight problem with my employee which pushed me to part ways with him. I would like to speak with you about the future of our project.

I didn't need this, not now. But it's a big contract and I can't afford to lose it.

- Of course.

-When can I meet you?

--I can see you tomorrow morning if you are available.

- Perfect, I'll be there.

When he hangs up, I sigh a little more, a new extra workload, like I need this.

It's as if time flows differently here. There is nothing and no one to come and disturb us, to come and disturb us and I must say that it does not displease me. Although I know that we are not out of danger, I admit that I love these days when we have nothing else to do but take care of ourselves. However, I know that we will not be able to stay here permanently.

We haven't talked about it yet, but we'll probably have to leave again soon. After all, they managed to replace us less than a mile from here and while I don't really know how it works, I'm sure Jason's Alpha already knows what's going on. passed there, the dead they left behind. And he's definitely not going to give up that quickly.

It's strange, I spend the best days of my life with them and yet, I know that what we are trying to escape can kill us and that terrifies me. I get up and leave Jason's arms before heading to the bathroom. All of this tends to go around in a loop in my head without me being able to do anything about it. I turn on the shower and slide under the hot water, closing my eyes. Flee, keep fleeing, but to go where? I have no more ideas in reserve. I press my hands against the wall as the water rushes down my back. I sigh, realizing something as stupid as the fact that Melissa isn't ready to finish my tattoo.

A tear slides down my cheek, mixing with drops of water. I'm going to miss her, I'm really going to miss her. I wonder if I'll ever see her again, I wonder if this will all end. Lost in my thoughts, I don't hear Jason coming, any more than I hear him slipping up behind me. He places his arms around my waist before coming to kiss my mark tenderly. I tilt my head instinctively, giving him all the room he wants. The pain in my heart disappears, leaving only a wave of warmth and sweetness. He wants to make me forget what I just felt and at the same time, his simple presence reminds me why I am here. I would do anything for him, just like I did for Dorian. No one will take them away from me. Never.

My whole body trembles under this caress as I already arch against him. His hands move up to my chest which he presses firmly as I moan softly. I like the way he touches me, the way he makes me vibrate with just a few touches. His way of chasing away my doubts and everything that can disturb me and when after a few minutes, I let myself cry out with pleasure, nothing else matters other than his body against mine.

Coming out of the bathroom, I realize that Dorian has already gotten up and that as often, he is busy preparing breakfast as we join him. As soon as he sees us, he smiles tenderly before handing us each a cup of coffee. The three of us sit down before he says, - I think it's time to talk about what we're going to do. We won't be able to stay here very long. Your old Alpha must have already re-formed a team to replace us. The more bodies we leave behind, the more he will redouble his efforts to get his hands on us. "I agree," Jason says, putting his arm around my waist. His guard is down but there are still plenty of Wolves ready to take their place, he said with a sigh.

Everyone gives their opinion even as we try to replace a solution to get us out of this situation. My cell phone vibrates, surprising me. I almost forgot I had it. Seeing my sister's name appear, I let them continue and head outside to talk to her. - I told you I'd call you in a few days, sis.

- Sorry Emma but your sister is unavailable at the moment, declares a man's voice I don't know.

- Who are you?

- Jason didn't tell you about me? However, I was his Alpha until you came into his life with this Wolf of Misfortune.

- Where is my sister? What did you do to him?

- Nothing for the moment. I'm not a ruthless murderer, but now it's all up to you. I won't let you go, and before long, if it hasn't happened yet, you'll have a second Alpha on your back. You won't be able to get out of this.

- What do you want?

-You. You are their biggest weakness.

-I would not betray them, ever.

- I'm not asking you to betray them, I'm asking you to save your sister's life. If you don't come to me. I would kill her, not for pleasure but for example. So that you suffer while knowing that she will have lost her life because of you. They will feel everything, your pain, your pain, they will be less focused and make a mistake so at that moment, you can be sure that I will be there, and it will be carnage, I will massacre all three of you. Then your sister will have died for nothing.

- You want me to choose between my sister and them? Seriously? Do you think you'll be able to manipulate me because I'm human? Because I'm not a Wolf like you?

- I hope you make the right decision, especially for your sister. The death of my close guard has upset my people quite a bit, there is a chance that they will take their time, just to satisfy their revenge.

- I certainly don't understand anything about your stories about packs and Alpha, but on the other hand, I have some experience with bastards like you and I can guarantee you that you will regret taking on them to her. I advise you to leave her and disappear from our lives before my Wolves make you pay.

-Logan won't fight me. Never.

-Logan will follow Dorian and me, you are nothing to him anymore, nothing more than a psycho who prevents us from living freely. You should never have done that, ever," I said, hanging up before rushing inside.

Just seeing me, they understand there is a problem.

"He has my sister," I said, dropping into the chair. My sister, damn it.

"Tell us what happened," Jason said, his voice a little deeper than usual.

So I tell them everything, the threats, this kind of blackmail that he's trying to do to me as if I could abandon them. I blame myself, so much, but not for a single second did I consider handing them over to save her, not once. I can't lose them, not them. My chest hurts, she is my only family and yet, they manage to come before her, to go over this bond that has united us for so many years.

I feel like a horrible person yet, I can't do what this Alpha expects of me.

Steeven's POV

I didn't think it would happen like this, any more than I would have thought I would replace support with his sister, but obviously we each have our reasons for bringing them back. She the money and I the revenge.

However, this human is much more attached to them than I had anticipated. I believed that for her sister she would be able to leave everything behind, to leave them behind but I only fueled her anger and by association, that of these two Wolves. She dared to threaten me, she thinks she can stand up to me without knowing that mine are already on the way.

With her sister, we found a way to replace them, new technologies work miracles these days and she managed to geolocate her cell phone. They put quite a bit of distance between us, but not enough that my Wolves couldn't reach them. The deal is clear, in exchange for her help, she gets her sister back while I take care of the others.

This story has lasted too long, it is time that they pay for what they have done, that they pay for their betrayals.
