A Kiss For Your Freedom
Chapter 52

Emma's POV

Opening my eyes, I realize that the sun has already been up for a while. The sun's rays caress our bare skin in a delicious way. 1 smile as I slowly stretch before wincing as the pain in my leg flares up with such force that it takes my breath away. I take a long breath, trying to control my breathing, trying to calm myself down. I don't want to wake them but I can't get around to get the medicine. Dorian’s arm clings a little tighter to my waist as he places a kiss on my shoulder.

He quickly gets up and leaves the room before returning after a minute, a glass of water in one hand while in the other h holds these famous tablets which manage to calm this pain which never stops coming and going. come.

“Here,” he said, handing it to me. You will feel better afterwards, my dear.

I take it, almost relieved, and swallow it quickly, letting the liquid run down my throat. I blame myself for being so fragile when even though they were both injured too, they don't seem to be in pain. They are much more resilient than me.

- You shouldn't think like that, he continues. We're not that different, you know, and if Jason and I could, believe me, we’ both choose to be as human as you. You think you're weaker than us when in fact you're both our greatest strength.

- But, if they come back, I said, grimacing again, this time, I will be a burden. A burden for both of you. I couldn't defend myself and therefore I would put you in danger.

- You won't put us in danger. I don't have all the solutions but look, we thought we wouldn't be able to get out of this anc yet, we're still alive, all three of us, so you can believe me, nothing will separate us, nothing and no one.

I smile slightly when I hear him say, he has this gift, this power to erase all my doubts with just a few words, with just a fe sentences. Jason wakes up and approaches me before kissing my cheek.

- How do you feel love, he asks.

- Ask me the question again in thirty minutes when the drugs have taken their effect, I said, trying to laugh without really succeeding.

- Don't worry, we'll take care of you and in a few weeks, we'll see nothing more. You'll walk again and itll be like nothing happened.

~1 hope it goes quickly, I said, leaning my head against his shoulder.

- In the meantime, I offer a good breakfast, Dorian says.

- I'm more than for it, Jason continues, putting his arms around me.

- OK, but don't leave me alone in this room. I feel useless enough without staying behind.

“In that case,” Jason said, getting up, “I'm going to have to carry you in my arms to take you to the living room,” he continues, putting his words into action.

He leads me into the living room where he places me on the sofa and I admit that these few steps in his arms are enougt to reduce the pain in my leg, to believe that they are much more effective than all the drugs in the world. . I watch them ¢ busy in the kitchen, moving around without ever bothering each other while showing tender gestures towards each other smile when I see them doing it, what is between them warms my heart. I know they are less demonstrative than they are with me but that doesn't mean they don't care about each other, on the contrary, they are just more reserved at the moment yet I know that it will not last. This is all new to them, as it is to me, and I know that before long, they will be together like they are with me. For the moment, I am content to observe them, to watch each of their movements, each 0 their gestures while smiling.

The smell that rises whets my appetite, although to be honest, just seeing them is enough to do so. After a few minutes, they come back to me and bring everything to the coffee table before handing me a well-stocked plate. We take advantag of this moment of calm, this moment of peace where nothing else matters other than our simple presence.

Jason's POV

She finally relaxed. I know it's hard for her, she asks herself a lot of questions to which I don't necessarily have the anse She's been through so many ordeals in recent days and weeks that I admit that I don't even know how she’s still holding on. Despite this, our presence reassures her, calms her and that is the most beautiful thing there is.

We eat our breakfast as if it were a break we needed when we all know that outside, corpses litter the ground and above all, that among these corpses, there is Ophelia. She should never have come here, she should have known that we would fight to the end, whatever the cost and yet, she moved, she came to attack us at home, she came with the desire to kill al three of us. Her father will never let this go, I'm more than sure, even if now he can take control of my old pack without tt slightest difficulty, the fact remains that he has just lost his only daughter and That's enough for him to send all these Wolves after us.

We could still flee, go further, but to go where? To continue hiding for how long? To spend our lives looking over our shoulders to make sure we haven't been followed? That's not what I want, it never was. I only want one thing, to live in peace with them, far from everything, just with them.

Dorian’s laugh pulls me out of my thoughts, even if it complicated everything, I must admit that Emma made the right choice by bringing him into her life. He is remarkable, he manages to maintain a balance between us, to take our minds c things when we need to, to make us laugh when necessary, to love us by proving to us that we are more important than anything in their eyes. , to defend ourselves by being merciless. It's almost funny, a few weeks ago I would have done anything to kill him, to keep him away from her and now I can only realize how much, I love him as much as I can love Emma .

He meets my gaze, I know he already understands, we both don't talk much, we don't really open up to each other but at times, words are simply too much. He smiles at me, almost shyly which, I must say, is really cute. I get up slightly and lear over Emma to kiss her. At the moment, he's a little surprised, but quickly, his lips move against mine as his tongue caress mine. His hand rests on my cheek and when we separate, I can read in his eyes that he too loves me as much as I can lov him.

- And that's how to make me gain ten degrees in a fraction of a second, said Emma, smiling. I think, well I don't think so, I'm sure, I've never seen anything more beautiful than when you are together, when you show each other tenderness and finally break down those invisible barriers that seem to hold you back at times.

- Nothing is more beautiful than you, my dear, you can believe me, said Dorian, kissing her in turn.

- Um, have you looked in a mirror recently? And did you see the kid with us? No, because I swear it's worth the detour, sh replies, laughing.

- OK, the three of us are a team of handsome kids, and fortunately we're together because it really wouldn't be fair to the others, said Dorian, laughing too.

It's pleasant, light, far from the screams, the blood, the deaths and everything that's still going to happen and for a few minutes, it's more than enough.

Dorian’s POV

There are no good solutions to this situation. If we leave, we'll just start them on a new chase against us and if we stay, m old Alpha will eventually find us and now that there's no one left leading Jason's pack, I have no doubt that he will have reinforcements, that he will come with an army of Wolves. Even if we reactivate the traps, we will be overwhelmed and th will both be in danger.

Emma can't move and although Jason is very good at fighting, two of us won't be a match. I'm beginning to master our bond enough to compartmentalize my thoughts. I don’t want them to worry and yet I feel like I'm the only one with the ki to all of this. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Loic knows me, he knows that if he comes here, he will lose Wolves and above all, he knows that 1 would attack him first. will go after him, if we can't win, he won't come out of this unscathed, I swear. But there is still another solution, another possibility, a way to resolve things without him coming here.

I look at them both, Jason has his arm around her and I know that if I stood on the other side, he would do the same to n They are both surprising. They succeeded in giving me back a taste for life. They managed to make me feel alive again ev though I was sure that after the death of my partner, no one would succeed.

I remember when I met her, when she hit me like a sign of fate, when I met her gaze which clearly showed that she had suffered enough and yet, she was ready to turn the page . I remember how my heart started beating faster even though before I knew it, my heart already knew that she was going to change everything. Then he arrived, this being that I so wanted to keep away from her and who nevertheless managed to do the unimaginable, he managed to tame my Wolf, he made sure to show himself as he was, far from his role as Beta, far from wars and above all so much closer to us. At first, thought he was going to take it, that he was going to take away this spark of happiness, this light at the end of my darkness, but on the contrary, he did everything to integrate and I have to say it's the best thing that ever happened to al three of us. Because I know it, I feel it, this bond that unites us is only complete because we are together and for that reason, I cannot afford to lose them, any of them.

I get up to clear everything up, letting them talk together. I'm going to have to play it smart if I want to achieve my goals because if they are what's most important to me, I know it's the same for them.
