Sour Souls The Morningstar Series Book 6
Sour Souls Chapter 35

Things have not been going how I expected them too. After what I did with Emilia in our bedroom, after she killed Lauren. I thought I had lost control, but Emilia really liked it. The fact that she soaked through my f*****g jeans was proof.

Then she asked if she could mark me. I wanted to tell her yes, but I couldn't. I just wanted to mark her back. Just one mark, but my mate told me no. Why should I give in to her if she won't give in to me?

Over the last four days Emilia has been ignoring me. No, it's more than that, she's been giving me the silent treatment. I get up every morning to make her breakfast. She eats in silence. I pick her up from her classes with Azai. She walks home in silence. We cook, and clean, and eat together. All in slience.

Never in my life would I have thought I'd hate silence. I don't know what to do to make my mate happy. She never smiles with me anymore. I see her do just fine with everyone else. It just makes me angier, and sader.

So, I planned her little day with her friends. Kee was more than happy to take Emilia, and Talia shopping on my expense. I thought that Emilia would feel that way when I told her, but all she did was blink at me. There was no thank you, no hugs, no words, not even a damn smile.

What do I have to do to make that woman talk? To make her smile at me? To make her happy?

We can bare her mark. Rex suggested.

She can bare ours. I argued.

We can mark her anyways. He said.

I didn't repsond. I can't, because if I do, I will give in. I'll mark Emilia without her consent.

F**k!

All I want is to see her smile. I miss the way the gold in her eyes lights up when she's happy. I miss hearing her arrogant voice talking shit to me constantly. I'm really f*****g up as a mate.

Is Emilia even happy here? Rex whined in my head.

I looked down at my phone. I've been texting Kee all day. When I sent them shopping I didn't think they would be gone literally all day. They left his morning. It's now almost midnight. The last thing I heard from Kee was over two hours ago, and all she was that they left the mall to get food.

I even called my sister several times in the last hour. She keeps ignoring me. What the hell are they doing?

My phone pinged, and I quickly opened the messages with my sister.

Kee: We are at the pub. You might wanna come get your mate. She's drunk.

Anger coursed through me instantly. Drunk? Why the f**k are they at the pub? And why the f**k is Emilia drunk?

The last time my mate got drunk, she practically drapped herself all over me. Emilia better not be touching anyone else. There's probably tons of guys at that fucking place with their hands all over what's mine. Emilia is already a stunning woman, now her curves have filled out more. There's no way she isn't getting hit on.

Let's go get mate. Rex growled. Yes, let's.

**********************

I drove to the pub like a fucking mad man. I'm lucky I didn't get pulled over. I screetched into the parking lot, and parked the car in the closetest spot I could. Then I stomped my way into the building.

The moment I stormed through the doors my eyes landed on hazel ones. My favorite pair of eyes stared back at me stunned. I'm pissed, really pissed, and I hate to admit that seeing Emilia eased some of that anger. She's lucky that there are no guys around her. Especially with what she's wearing. I'm pretty sure she left the house in jeans and a fucking purple T-shirt. What the fuck is she wearing now? That skirt is way too short, those boots are way too high, and that shirt is way too revealing. Is she even wearing a bra? Mate looks hot. Rex said.

Too hot. I replied.

Emilia looks sexy as fuck. All I can think about is tearing those clothes off of her. I can tie her up with the shreds, and gag her with her own panties again. Fuck, I bet she has a thong on under that skirt. "Emilia." I gritted out as I walked up to her.

"Ares." She breathed out.

There was a slight pause in my step. She said my name. For the first time in four days, she spoke, and she said my fucking name. It feels too good to hear.

"We are leaving. Now." I said once I reached her.

I grabbed Emilia's hand, but she pulled back.

"Wait, have a drink with me." She said.

I stared down at her. I want to say yes so badly. Just in the hopes that she'll keep talking to me. But I also want to get her home, now. "Yeah Ares, stay, have a drink."

I know that f*****g voice. My eyes snapped up to see Bexley and Nix. I didn't even notice that they were here.

"I see you're both back." I grumbled.

"Awh, he missed us Nix." Bexley teased.

I clentched my jaw.

"We can just go home if you want." Emilia said softly.

I looked down at her. Emilia is biting her bottom lip. I want to do that for her. No way will I be able to not give in if I stay.

"This your guy? He seems kinda like an ass. You sure you don't want to give me your number?" A male said.

Emilia's eyes went wide before she turned around.

"I literally just told you that he would kill you." She said to the bartender.

That fucker.

"Who, Ares? Yeah okay." Josh said.

"Josh." I practically growled out.

"Wait, you two know each other?" Emilia asked me.

I just nodded.

"We've both lived her all our lives. It's hard not to know someone. Though, I'm surprised a grump like him was able to pull in such a catch like you." Josh said to my mate.

I growled loudly. Before I could act on my anger, Emilia put her hands on my chest, and pushed. I didn't budge.

"Come on Ares. Take me home. I want to go home now." She said.

My eyes are still on Josh. Stupid fucker. He's been like this all our lives. Asshole is lucky that he's human.

Emilia grabbed my face, and forced my eyes to hers. She smiled up at me. Even with her cheeks flush, and her glassy eyes, she looks so beautiful.

"I missed you so much Ares. Take me home." She said sweetly.

Just like that, all thoughts of Josh were gone. All of my anger melted away. I wrapped an arm around Emilia's waist, and pulled her out of the building. I pretty much dragged her all the way to my car. I opened the passenger door, and tossed her into the seat. Then I went to the driver's side.

"Are you mad at me?" Emilia asked I started the car.

"Yes. No. I don't know." I said frustrated.

"Well, I think I could make it up to you." She said.

I lifted my eyes to look at her, and saw Josh exit the pub. He lit up a ciggarette, and waved at me. Is he waiting to see what happens between Emilia an I? Does he want her that badly? "Ares, are you listening to me?" Emilia huffed out.

I looked at my mate.

"What?" I asked.

Emilia rolled her eyes. In a flash, she pushed on my chest hard. Emilia climbed over the center console to straddle my lap. Her a*s honked my horn before she settled on top of me. "Emilia, what are you-"

I was cut short by Emilia pressing her lips to mine. Fuck, I forgot how good she feels. Four long days of barely touching her was too long. I didn't even know how much I needed this until she did it.

Emilia pulled away from my lips to start kissing down my jaw. I looked over to see Josh frowning at us. I smirked.

"Emilia, get back in your seat." I said.

"But-"

"We can kiss more when we get home. We're in the middle of a parking lot where everyone can see us." I said.

"So." She said, and then leaned in to lick my ear.

Fuck, where the fuck did she learn that?

"I know you're enjoying letting that bartender guy watch us. What's so wrong with really showing him who I belong to?" Emilia whispered in my ear.

"Fuck." I breathed out. "No, get in your seat. I don't need to prove to anyone expect you that you belong to me. I will not be letting anyone else see you naked." I said.

Emilia pulled back to look down at me.

"You plan to get me naked?" She asked with a goofy smile.

I reached a hand up to cup her cheek.

"As long as you promise to stop giving me the silent treatment." I said.

Emilia smiled down at me for a moment before taking her seat. She buckled herself in, and I pulled out of the parking lot. Not before flipping Josh off one last time though.

Our drive back was extremely short. I'm too impatient to get Emilia home. I did reach over to hold her hand though. I also didn't miss the happiness that shone on her face over it. I need to learn that it's always the simple things with Emilia.

The moment we pulled up into our makeshift driveway, I put the car in park and turned it off. I opened my mouth to ask Emilia if she wanted to go for a run first, but she cut me off before I could.

"I didn't think it bothered you at all." She said.

I frowned at her.

"What bothered me?" I asked.

Emilia looked up to my face.

"Me not talking to you. I thought that I was just torturing myself, but it bothered you too." She said.

"Of course it bothered me Emilia. You are my mate. I enjoy seeing you happy." I told her as I tucked some hair behind her ear.

Tear's filled my mates eyes.

"But you always tell me to shut up. I thought I was giving you what you wanted." She said.

I grabbed Emilia's chin, and brought her face closer to me.

"I might say that, becaue you get under my skin, but I never mean it. I never want you to not talk to me. I never want to see you so sad again." I said as I rested my head to hers. "I've been a real jerk to you pet. I'm so sorry for that." I said. "I know a way you can make it up to me." She said.

"What's that?" I asked.

Emilia shoved on my chest, and I fell back into my chair. As Emilia climbed on top of me, I leaned my seat all the back so that she didn't honk the horn this time. Emilia's giggle filled the car, and I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face. "I missed hearing your giggles." I told her.

"Really?" She asked.

I nodded to her. Apparently, I have been doing an even worse job than I thought as a mate. How can Emilia think I don't love it when she's happy?

"Sit up." I ordered.

Emilia sat straight up on me, putting her palms on my chest. Heat rose inside of me, and things started to get hazey. Great, Emilia's drunken state is starting to affect me now. I'm not sure I mind right now though.

I placed one hand on her bare thigh, and started to move it up her skirt. My other hand snaked it's way up her body slowly, between her breasts, wrapping around her throat. Emilia's arsoual instantly filled the car. "Like that do you?" I asked.

"Ares.." Emilia moaned out.

I smirked as my other hand moved to grip her a*s.

"Ah, just as I suspected. A thong." I said. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I thought I warned you about wearing things like that with dresses, and skirts." I teased her.

I gave Emilia's throat a small squeeze, and she jerk her hips forward.

"I.. I bought them for you.." She breathed out.

"Did you?" I asked.

Emilia nodded.

"Did you only buy thongs for me?" I asked as I squeezed her a*s.

"N-no." Emilia stuttered.

I smirked as I pulled my hand back, all to give her a spanking. Emilie gasped, moaned, and nearly melted into me. Good thing I'm holding her up by her throat. "Don't lie to me pet, we both know you aren't good at it." I said.

"I.. I.. didn't just b-buy thongs." Emilia breathed out.

I gave her another spank, and this time she just moaned loudly.

"I-I-I got.. other stuff too. Lingerie." She told me.

I raised a brow at her.

"Did you now? What kind?" I asked.

I moved my hand from Emilia's ass. I grabbed her hands in mine, and moved them to my jeans. My mate was quick to start undoing them for me.

"A-all kinds. A lot of b-black." She said as she fiddled with my jeans.

I chuckled at her.

"I can't wait to see them on you." I said.

Emilia gave me another goofy smile.

"Really?" She asked.

"Of course." I said just as she finished undoing my jeans. "Now, pull my c**k out." I ordered.

Emilia reached her hand inside my boxers to grip my shaft. She pulled my cock out, and stared down at it. I moved my free hand back to grip her a*s.

"Spit on the head." I ordered.

"Huh?" Emilia asked.

"Spit on the head. You need to lube me up if you're going to play with me." I told her.

Emilia smiled before letting spit dangle from her mouth. It landed right on my tip. Emilia was quick to spread it across my shaft.

"That's right baby. Keep doing that. Use your whole hand." I told her.

I watched as Emilia got into a rhythm. She even started moving her hips too. My mate wants to fuck me so bad, and I might just give into her tonight. Especially with this fog across my brain.

I moved my hand from her ass, to between those perfect thighs of hers. Emilia is completely fucking soaked. In fact, she's dripping all over me. My jeans are soaked. How did I not feel that before?

"Fuck baby.. How are you always this fucking wet? I've never seen a girl get as wet at you. It's so fucking hot. And you're doing so good taking care of me baby." I praised her.

"R-really?" Emilia asked.

I rubbed across Emilia's clit, and she moaned louder.

"Yeah baby. It feels really good. You're gonna make me cum." I told her. "I'm going to cum all over your thighs, and then I'm going to force you to wear me all night. Would you like that pet? It would make me so happy." I cooed. "Yes Ares." Emilia moaned.

Fuck. I didn't think she would really be okay with that. I've never made a girl wear me like that before. I mean, I've been waiting for my mate for stuff like that. All the other girls were just to pass the time, just to fill my needs. Emilia though, she's everything to me, my forever.

I moved my fingers back until I found her hole. Then I dipped a finger inside. My entire body slumped as I pumped my finger inside of her.

"Holy shit. You're so tight, but your pussy.. it's sucking in my finger." I said in a dreamy tone.

That's what this is. A dream. Has to be. No way one person could be so perfect.

"Ares.." Emilia moaned out my name.

I looked up at her as I added another finger. Emilia's eyes rolled back, and she moaned louder. She's pumping me faster now. My mate likes this.

"Ares.. please.." Emilia begged.

"Please what?" I asked.

"Let me cum." She begged.

Fuck. Is she.. waiting for me to tell her it's okay? That's the hottest thing in the entire f*****g world.

"I'm close baby, c*m with me." I cooed to her.

"O-okay." Emilia moaned out.

Emilia played with the tip of my cock. I squeezed her throat harder. Emilia just moaned louder, and got wetter. Which set me right off.

"Cum now Emilia." I ordered.

Emilia's pussy spasmed around my fingers so hard that I couldn't move anymore. I circled her c**t with my thumb. Then I came with her. Emilia moaned out my name as she rode out her o****m. I came all over her thighs.

After Emilia's orgasm died down, she fell on my chest. Both of us are panting now. I moved my hands to circle around her. One in her hair, one of her back. I kissed the top of her head.

"That was.." Emilia trailed off.

"Amazing." I finished for her.

"Just imagine how much better actual sex would be." My mate muttered.

I laughed.

"Maybe soon pet." I said.

Emilia nestled her face in the crook of my neck. She kissed the side of my neck. I smiled.

"I'm sorry Ares.. I just can't wait any longer." Emilia whispered against my skin.

I'm confused. I opened my mouth to ask what she meant by that, but then I felt her canines scrape against my skin. Wait, is she about to-

An ear piercing scream had both of us freezing.

Emilia sat up in my lap, and looked at me. Did we just imagine that? There's no way that we both did.

Then the scream came again.

Emilia covered her ears, and groaned.

"Baby? You okay?" I asked a bit panicked.

"It.. that scream.." Emilia groaned out.

I opened the car door, and lifted the both of us out. I set Emilia back in the seat, and bent down to look at her. The scream came again, and Emilia continued to cover hear ears. "Bab-" I tried, but was cut off.

"Ares you have to help her, or she's going to die." Emilia rushed out.

"What? Who?" I asked.

Emilia shook her head. "I don't know, but I know it's going to happen." She said. "I.. That scream is making me want to scream Ares." She said.

"You stay right here. Do not move Emilia." I ordered.

Emilia groaned again, and I took off in the direction of the scream. Whatever is going on it's affecting my mate. I need to figure out what it is.

The screaming continued as I ran through the woods. Finally, after 15 minutes of running, I came into veiw of a girl tied to a tree. There is a dark figure standing in front of her. Cutting her. What the hell? "Finally." The dark figure spoke. "Thought it was going to take forever for you to come out here." He said.

"Who the fuck are you?" I asked.

The girl on the tree whimpered.

"I did good. I did good. I swear. I did good." She muttered over and over.

What the hell? The poor girl is covered in her own blood. Her guts are spilling out over the rope.

"Yes. You did wonderfully dear." The dark fiured told her.

Then he took his dagger, and sliced open her throat. The girl made a gurrling sound before going completely silent. I glared at the dark figure.

"Who are you? Why did you do that?" I asked.

Finally the figured turned around. He has deep red eyes, greasy long light brown hair, and pale skin. I recognize him immediately.

"Alister." I stated.

The rouge Vampire chuckled.

"Pretty stupid of you to show your face here." I said.

Again, the Vampire chuckled.

"What are you doing here? Why did you kill that girl?" I asked.

Alister threw his head back, and cackled loudly.

"Stupid boy. All of you are foolish." He said.

I raised a brow at him.

"Foolish? You came to my home, and murdered an innocent girl right in front of me. Do you even know where you are? Or have you just lost your shit completely?" I asked.

"Hmm." Alister hummed out. "Do you not recognise this girl? You were recently at her pack." He said.

I frowned as I looked at the girl. Wait.. This girl.. She's the Omega that stopped me at Blue Water. The one that told me where to replace th files in Alpha Fredericks office.

"Why would you kill this girl, and here?" I asked out loud.

Alister cuckled again.

"Tying up loose ends is all." He said.

I frowned for a moment before the realization set in.

"Emilia."
