Chapter 52

Vita stared at the hand in front of her and then looked up at its owner. Emil stood there with a sickening grin, waiting to accept Vita’s hand. Reluctantly Vita placed her hand in Emil’s and started to stand. Deak growled loudly as he stood up and glared at Emil. “She’s mine.” Emil smirked. “I promise to take good care of her while she’s with me.” “No.” Vita laid her hand on Deak’s chest. “It’s one dance; I’ll be right back,” she assured him. Emil guided Vita away from Deak and out to the dance floor. Deak followed them to the floor; he stood with the crowd surrounding it and watched them start dancing. The song was a slow waltz; Deak gritted his teeth as he glared at Emil touching his mate. “You dance beautifully,” Emil complimented. “I have a good teacher,” she said and tilted her head in the direction where Deak was standing, waiting for her. “Must be hard to be mated to a wolf, not just any wolf, a Lycan; their tempers can be dangerous,” Emil pointed out. Vita shrugged.
