STURDY FATE

5. I want him

Erika's p.o.v

I yawned lazily enjoying myself over Seal's shoulder, we had been walking for hours without a Word, I wasn't bothered by that because I was so happy.

When Seal was saying his goodbye I felt like my heart was breaking apart because of the ache, I was so sad and wanted to go with him but I couldn't tell him because of Hazel who was angrily yelling at me to let her out.

He looked at me sadly as I extended my hand to feel his skin on mine for the last time, but he surprised me a lot when he grabbed my hand and dragged me with him on his journey to the McKnight's territory.

Deep down I was very happy that he did, but sadly that meant he too would come to suffer because of our curse.

"Finally home," Daisy said ahead happily.

I was let down easily by Seal, I looked around and saw no house near.

"We have just crossed the border, our house is a few minutes away from here," Seal said in front of me.

"Did you just say our house? And how dare you Kidnap me from my own territory and leader!" I yelled loudly.

He grabbed my waist and pulled me to him, my breathing picked up when I looked him in the eyes, our lips were just an inch apart.

"Step away from him!" Hanzel screamed.

"No" I whispered.

"What?" He asked Softly.

"Get away from him!" She screamed again louder then took over for a second and pushed him away roughly, I pushed her back and took over.

Seal was looking at me in shock.

"Don't fall in love with him, if you do I will kill him, you know I'm not bluffing" Hazel warned.

"Stay away from me, as it is I hate you for forcing me to come here with you," I said loudly then quickly turned and rushed ahead to where the noise was coming from.

"You are going the wrong way, go back to our territory," Hazel said.

"You might not want him but I do, I really want him" I answered silently.

"No you don't, you hate men, they disgust you, have you forgotten how they use to treat you back then, what makes you think he is any different from them, you know I know what's best for the both of us, just let me find us a worthy mate who is strong enough to break our curse and set us free," she said softly.

I stood still then closed my eyes, Hazel was cold and at times Unfriendly, but whatever she did she did it for us, there was never a day that she had hurt me, she actually protected me from harm, she also saved me in the past that's why I was always okay and obedient to her.

"If I let you take over, promise me you won't hurt seal or go back to our territory" I answered silently.

"Why do you want to protect that brat so much, he only wants you close just so he could use you, and have you forgotten who we pledged our loyalty to, keno and Shane are our leaders," she said loudly in my head.

"Why can't we serve the McKnight twins, keno and Shane let seal take us with him because they knew it was the right decision to make" I answered.

"Erika let me out if you know what's best for the both of us you will," she said with a chuckle.

Hazel's laugh or chuckle meant only one thing when upset, death.

"Okay, I will let you out" I answered.

Keeping her in wasn't a good idea, the more she got upset, the more she carved into her panic, and when her panic kicked in, the only thing that calmed her down was either s*x or death and I didn't want any of it.

"Erika" seal called behind, I quickly turned and looked at him.

He had a sad expression on his face, he moved closer and stood in front of me.

"Please Forgive me for my bad behavior earlier, I wasn't suppose to touch you in that way, even if you are my bond, your body is yours and I can't just touch you as I please, I would only touch you when you let me, back there in Shane's territory I was filled with anger over you wanting to reject me, my Dragon and Phoenix felt disrespected too that's why I lost it, I'm never this impulsive or aggressive with anyone, so please do forgive me," he said softly as I held back the tears and tried to look upset.

"Let me out!" Hazel said loudly.

"No!, I want to be with him, I want to get to know him and see for myself if he is different, I have let you sleep with whoever you want, why can't I do the same?" I asked her silently.

"Because you can't, and that's that" she answered.

"Erika" he called in a whisper.

"You are a selfish b***h Hanzel, but I have a right to decide who I want, not you" I answered strongly.

"I'm kind of tired, if it's not too much to ask, can you show me where I will be sleeping?" I asked seriously.

"Sure, come with me" he answered then walked ahead 

I quietly followed him behind, Hazel was quiet for some reason and I didn't care, the houses that where ahead looked big and well built, the territory members looked at Seal with smiles while others waved.

He laughed Softly then waved back, I looked at the huge mansion that was in front of us, Shane's own was huge and big but it couldn't be compared with what was in front of us.

"Come," he said then walked in, I moved behind him but stopped when he did too.

We could hear loud voices from our left coming from a huge room.

"I'm asking you to release her dad, her Alone, I don't care about her sister" a man's voice that sounded a little similar to seal said loudly.

"And how sure are you she is your bond, she might have enchanted you, she's half siren" Marko answered.

"Dad, are you seriously doubting Draco? She might enchant me but not him" the man said loudly.

"You just looked at her for a minute and you think you are bonded to her, that lady is dangerous and we know her well, the only good in her is her wolf," Mark answered.

"No disrespect dad but Draco is a phoenix not a dragon, so just because she enchanted you in the past it doesn't mean that she can enchant me too" he fired back.

"Enough with the disrespect!" Daisy yelled.

"She stays in that cell and that's Final, if you think it's not a right decision then try and take me down, be a man and let Draco prove his worth" Marko answered.

I heard light footsteps then a man came out of the room, he looked alike to Seal but had different eyes and  a different hairstyle.

He walked past us after nodding at seal and went upstairs, Seal grabbed my hand without warning and walked with me upstairs too.
