Page 41 of His to Claim
I look over my shoulder and watch as Anil'ha walks past us. "Come! She'll tell you herself... tomorrow. I'll show you to your rooms. You look like you need to rest."
"What the fuck, you bastard," I growl at him. "Bring Emma... NOW!"
"Dhakar, that won't be possible. If you want to see her, you'll have to wait until tomorrow," Anil'ha says giving me a cold look.
"Why?!" I scream. "She is not yours to keep or take whenever you wish! Bring her back to me RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!"
He turns and leaves us alone. I glare at Torr and shake my head.
"That son of a bitch," I say. "I'm going to rip off his cock and shove it down his throat."

When we enter the bedroom,I walk straight to the bed and sit on top of the mattress. Torr follows me while I kick my legs up onto the edge of the bed so that they dangle over the side. I stare at the ceiling and think about how angry I still am.
"Are you all right?" Torr asks.
I turn around and face him. "No, I fucking hate these Valkryans. They took my Emma away from me and kept her hidden from me. Now I don't know what happened to her. And worst of all, I might never touch her again."
"Don't worry. We will find her, get her back, and make sure no one hurts her ever again," he promises me.
I smile slightly. "Thank you, my friend. I know I can always count on you."
He nods. "Yes, you most certainly can."
We both fall silent after that. After some time passes, I stand up and stretch my arms above my head. Then I lower my hands slowly and begin to run them through my hair. It feels good to let go of tension and stress.
I lie back down and close my eyes. I try to sleep but instead, images of Emma's sweet lips fill my mind and torment me. When I finally manage to drift into an exhausted slumber, I dream of Emma.
In my dreams, I am lying beside her in bed. Her soft skin is against mine as she sleeps soundly next to me. At this moment, nothing else matters except being with her. I kiss her cheek softly and stroke her hair gently. I love every inch of her.

As soon asI open my eyes, reality hits me hard. I jump up from the bed and pace around the room. I stop pacing when Torr sits down on the edge of the mattress.
"You're awake! Good," he smiles. "How do you feel today?"
I sigh loudly. "Like shit. My head aches. But more importantly, I miss Emma and wonder where she is. What did happen to her?"
"Anil'a said you'll see her today. If he doesn't bring her to you, we'll burn this place down," Torr says.
I nod. "Good idea."
"It would be easier if you just asked him yourself," he suggests.
"Yeah, right! That asshole probably thinks I'm weak and easy prey. He'd laugh in my face before telling me anything," I grumble.
Torr chuckles. "Well, maybe you should prove him wrong."
"What does that mean?"
He shrugs. "Go talk to him and ask him why he hasn't brought your woman to you yet!"
"Oh, hell yeah! You betcha. Let's go kill that bastard!" I grin widely at him.
"Wait…you want to fight him? Are you crazy?" Torr scoffs. "The place is loaded with Valkryans."
My jaw drops in disbelief. "You seriously didn't hear a word I said, did you?"
