THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

Lily had been so happy when the commotion had been going on; that her new friend, Emma, was the chosen one, the prophecy. Although overwhelmed with surprise and awe, she had been thankful for it. She had heard about the prophecy one time from her mother, and her aunt, Leonarya, and it had fascinated her then; the goodwill of the gods to stop a war that might rid the earth even of humans.

But when she had found no symbol on the latter’s back, she had been distraught. Distraught was an understatement actually.

She was besotted to Emma already, she saw her now as an elder sister she hadn’t had, ever since the previous day when the latter had taken to the park, and had pushed her enough to put her trust on her and ride on the Ferry’s wheel.

And then the fact that she hadn’t left her and ran away when she had felt the dark energy in the air at the dark of the night, had humbled her.

It was true that she had been drugged by an ancient drowsy pill, but she had been conscious of her environment.

She had known what had happened.

She had heard everything that her redheaded friend had said. She had felt the pinches and slap too.

But at that time, she had been trying to rid her system of the pill which was working effectively and fast enough to paralyze her.

It had amazed her that Emma hadn’t left her and run at the first sigh of danger.

Rather, she had held her more closer to herself while trying to be stand brave and tall in the face of Draco.

Draco.

Draco had been her brothers’ best friend, and her very close friend too. She had even crushed on him at one time. Leila too. But he had always preferred Leila, and so her love had waxed cold. Besides, he had always reminded them that they were too young for him.

It had saddened her heart when she had discovered three years ago, that he had been working as a spy for her Aunt.

Still, she couldn’t wait to visit him at the prison house. Her brother, Daniel, had refused at first, but she had resolved to sneak inside the prison house tonight with her twin, she needed some answers.

Nevertheless, hearing Queen Zipfarah apportioning Prescott to Emma as a companion enticed her greatly. She wanted to follow them. She wanted to at least, be of service to her new friend who most likely was the chosen one.

“Can I go with her too?” She asked, shocking her twin sister, Leila, who was already feeling bereft for the knowledge that she wouldn’t be seeing the squirrel for some time.

“Lily…” Leila muttered, surprised at the request.

“Lily… you can’t… you…” Daniel was saying hurriedly, but Lily was having none of it.

“Please, my Queen, I want to go with her. She needs all the help she can get.” She pleaded, facing her grandmother with her puppy eyes.

“Lily…” Zipfarah sighed, rubbing her forehead tiredly with her thumb and middle finger, considering her granddaughter’s request. She knew it was a good idea, letting her go too, but it was dangerous. She didn’t want to lose her. She had lost her daughter already.

“You are not going anywhere.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

A voice thundered across the room, getting the attention of the whole occupants in the room.

“Thank God, Damon, you are here.” Leila breathed out, relieved for the intervention of her other older brother. He was the older twin. He was also the stronger, and most ruthless, fiercely overprotective of her and Lily. She didn’t think he would have supported it if he had known about her sister going to the werewolves region to pick up the human.

She was happy that he had arrived from his mission at this critical hour. She was sure that her sister wouldn’t be going anywhere with the redhead; Damon wouldn’t allow it (even if a tiny bit of her wanted to go too. She was curious about how the werewolves looked like. She hadn’t seen one in her entire existence. When Zipfarah had sent Lily on the mission to get Emma, she had been bereft and angry, for not being included. She had presumed that since they were twins, they should be going everywhere together. She was also envious of the budding relationship between her sister and Emma. She wanted that too, especially since she knew now that the latter was most likely the chosen one.)

“Welcome Damon.” Zipfarah welcomed one of her favorite people with a wide smile on her face.

She believed that he had been successful in his mission. He had never failed her before in the past.

“Thank you, my Queen.” Damon replied, attracting and holding the attention of Emma.

She had heard the thunderous voice, but had ignored it (not in the least concerned about someone who sounded like an egoistic brat), keeping her gaze on the Queen to know her decision on Lily’s request. She wanted the little girl to come with her too.

But now, hearing his voice which was now gentle in nature, her forehead scrunched, as she considered on where she had heard the familiar voice.

Damon! She screamed in her mind, swivelling at the same time it dawned on her that the voice which she had just heard belonged to her new friend in school who had showed her the professor’s office earlier this week. Her Damon was Lily’s Damon!

“Emma….” He croaked out, as their eyes met each other.

“Hello Damon…” She greeted sarcastically, hands akimbo, aware but not bothered of the bewildered glances they were receiving from the occupants of the room.

She knew what was going on in their mind already. They were confused on how she had come to meet and know of the two brothers. She could also feel Daniel’s heated gaze on her.

For a second, she had contemplated sticking around for some minutes and fawning over Damon, to irk the life out of Daniel, but abandoned the idea, when she remembered that Derek was in danger.

(If not for that, you guys should know Emma by now. She would have done it. Lol)
