Chapter 46: Emily's Influence

Holy shit, she's already trying to under mind me.

"Oh," I try to keep my temper below the boiling point, stumbling to keep my thoughts straight, "I-I was kind of looking forward to you and I doing that together." I don't let my eyes leave Skylar and his expression changes. I've got him now, but whatever Emily did or said to convince him otherwise was pretty intense. He's struggling; I can see it all over his face. Clearly, she's already using her influence to trap the one person from my past who's still alive, and I will not allow her destroy him, too.

Skylar glances at Emily, still managing to keep a pleasant look on her face but her eyes narrow slightly before she nods, "That's fine. I'll have plenty to show him later," she cocks her head in my direction.

I'm not sure if my face matches the fury running through my veins right now and I don't even care. If she wants war, that's what she'll get.
