Sensitive

"Alright then, I'll look into just make sure you're safe though, I'll find a way to fix the problem from my end." Emerson pats Mick's shoulder.

"One more thing," he turns to face him. "He might need your help, she's pregnant." He says with pleading eyes.

"And what am I supposed to do about that? I'm no doctor!" Emerson shrugs.

"Look.... You both are friends, there shou..."

"Were.... We were friends or maybe not? Friends accept you for who you are and he didn't, so no.. We're not."

"OK at least for the child, the chances of their survival is...." He shooks his head.

Emerson watches the man intently contemplating and then a very chaste smile appear on his lips and he closed his eyes savoring the beautiful scent that'd just floated in the air.

"He's going to do it." Amelia's beautiful melodious voice spells out.

"Sure, anything for my Queen." Emerson decides on the whim as he pulls her to his arms carefully cupping her face, he placed a chaste kiss on her lips.

"I....think..that's my cue, I should get going." Mick suddenly felt awkward no matter how often he'd seen such scene.

Emerson never slacked in pleasuring or even adoring his Amelia in anyone's presence. His back still faced Mick as he held onto her swaying slowly and.... humming? Yeah, he definitely was. Mick slaps his forehead, of course in his head.

"I sure would impart the news of your cooperation to hi....."

"Just go, she's not responding because you're here." Emerson turns to the man and glares.

Amelia was definitely surprised by such revelation, she hits him on the chest immediately and then cheekily smiles at Mick who face showed suprise and.... confusion. He sure was confused as to how it was his fault that his mate didn't show any reaction. Mick offers a curt nod and leaves immediately.

"Ha! You embarrass me too much, you know?" Amelia says furiously but receives an alluring but provocative smile.

"I love you too."

The sentries that stood around suddenly looked like they were looking for something on the floor as they began to move away cautiously. None of them wanted to be fed dog food.

"Remind me about who he is?"

"Mick Carlton, He's human, the Sheriff to be exact."

"Hope no problems though?" Amelia looked concerned.

"Nope!" He kisses her both cheeks,then her forehead,then her chin and then her ears to her.....

"Emerson!?" Amelia was flushed. "Damn you!" She tries to push him off but she knew it was a failed attempt. He didn't even budge. "I'm angry at you, in fact mad."

Emerson stops to look at her, his hands loosening seeing the seriousness on her face.

"What could i have done to my Queen, my Luna, MY Love, the mother of my unborn child and many to come," he strokes her belly smiling. "The only woman to brea....."

"Don't even dare, you'd have to try something new before I'd fall for that." She crosses her arms looking away.

Emerson sighs pulling her to himself. "OK, I'm sorry." Now he sounded less flirty. "What have I done to upset you love?" Using his thumb and index finger he pulls her chin to face him.

"Your attitude towards her? Definitely uncalled for, why would you even act like that, she was your best friend, you didn't have...."

"Was...." He smiles at her, "she was my best friend before she let her sister kill my mother!" The anger in his voice couldn't be hidden by the sad smile on his face.

Amelia looks at him now cupping his face, "She was controlled by dark magick and you know that."

"I didn't kill her sister, that's much she can get from me" he holds her wrist gently and kiss her palm.

"But....."

"Just leave it there Amy.... How are you feeling now?" he smiles at her.

She looks at him and sighs. That topic has always been sensitive for him, of course when your best friend's sister kills your mother just because she was curious about how an Alpha cries. That was surely sensitive and definitely irrational!

"I feel better I think" she nods at him.

"Tell me, the child that....what was his name again?"

"Mick?"

"Yeah, that one, who's the child"

"The Mayor's wife is pregnant"

"I thought she was sick"

"She's going to die actually, her condition has gotten much more critical, nothing can ba done"

"What would happen to the babies?"

"I don't know" he squints his eyes at her

"What? I thought you said you'd help"

"Did I?" He looks at her intently.

"Isn't there a way to turn her" she asks lips clutched between her teeth.

"Well...we don't go around turning people into werewolves and...it might probably kill her, she's too weak"

"So you're keeping tabs but pretending to not Care? Yeah, my typical Emerson." She rolls her eyes.

Emerson swipes his nose against hers. "Its your influence on me"
