Alpha's replacement bride is destined mate-Chapter 181 It’s all gone

​

Emily wakes up to find that everything around her is unfamiliar, she does not know where she is, and painful memories play over and over in her mind like a movie re-enactment.

She could not forget the battlefield, strewn with bodies. She could not forget what she had said to Klaus in order to repulse him. She could not forget how Klaus had fallen before her.

She felt like such a fool for believing in Elijah. How could she believe Elijah’s words when they had killed the love of her life and were so proud to show it off in her presence? 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Dyson, Elijah. The two names were seared into her heart, and she wanted to kill them to avenge Klaus. But now she was so weak that she could not even beat a maid, and she felt helpless.

Every breath she took made her feel miserable.

The door to the room was pushed open, and she saw Elijah enter the room, his gray eyes scanning the confusion on the floor as he closed the door, then lifting his foot over the broken crockery to Emily.

"What do you want? " His calm tone was full of questioning.

Emily sat down on the couch, her eyes lifted helplessly, " Why don’t you kill me?"

" I’m not going to kill you. " Elijah said, "I want you alive. I want you to stay with me."

Emily looked at the cold blooded man with unbelievable eyes, " What makes you think I will stay by your side? You have killed the love of my life, and I shall never be able to forgive you in this life. If you let me live, I will kill you. I swear."

The corners of Elijah’s mouth quirked up slightly as he smirked, " You can’t kill me."

Elijah’s look of triumph exasperated Emily to the uttermost, and in an instant all her grief and anger broke into a rush, as she sprang to her feet, raised her hand, and struck Elijah a violent blow across the face.

" You crazy bastard!" Emily yelled at Elijah, " I really regret saving you back then, I should have let you die that night."

Elijah’s face was impassive, his eyes cold as ice. Suddenly, he grabbed both of Emily’s hands with the wrists, he pushed her down on the couch, he looked at her straight in the eyes, " Even if Klaus died, you wouldn’t want to stay by my side? Why?"

Emily stared at him, she hated every word he said with an unending hatred, "Because I hate you!"

"You hate me? " Elijah said, "No, I’ll make you love me."

"I will never fall in love with you! " Emily hissed, "I would rather die than stay by your side."

Elijah brought his lips close to Emily’s earlobe, his whisper sounding as evil as a demon’s chant, " I won’t let you die. I will make you forget everything you have ever been, including Klaus. I will make you remember only my name henceforth. Emily, I told you’d be mine someday, your body and soul will belong to me completely."

" Don’t even think about it!" Emily struggled to free herself from Elijah’s grasp, but his hands were like steel and held her fast, and she felt angry and helpless.

" Grimm, come in." Elijah shouted in the direction of the door.

Presently a hunch-backed, ugly-looking man pushed through the door. Emily remembered the man who had taken her away from Dyson. They were all in on it.

" Do it." Elijah said.

"What are you doing?" The more Emily struggled, the tighter Elijah’s grip became, and a pain shot through her wrist.

The ugly man reached out and pressed his skeletal palm against the top of Emily’s head, and when it touched it, it was as if a heavy force were holding her down.

She could not move, and a wave of heat ran from the man’s palm to the top of Emily’s head and all over her body. Soon the heat became an electrifying sensation. At first Emily felt only a slight numbness in her body. After a few seconds, the force grew stronger. It was as if her body were being stimulated by a high-voltage electric current.

When the ugly man’s mouth began to chant some ancient incantation, Emily felt a sharp pain in her head at once. The pain was too much for her to bear, and she screamed in agony.

Her mind was in a whirl, and images of memories that had once been in her mind flashed into her vision, and scenes that had once been in her mind flashed before her eyes like a flash of lightning.

She saw the village where she had lived as a child. She saw her old friends. She saw how her stepmother had forced her to go to the North and join the Union. She sees her landing in Klaus’ arms after jumping out of a window, and she sees images of her and Klaus getting married in the woods.

Memories of the past came and went rapidly through her mind, and then she heard the words that Klaus had once spoken to her.

"Emily, you are a star in the sky and I am as lucky as I happen to catch you."

" I will take you to see the blue roses in the spring time, take you out to the sea to see the pink dolphins in the summer time, take you to enjoy the most beautiful maple leaves in the fall time, and the winter time is the best time to soak in the hot spring."

"I want you to be happy and I will give you everything I have."

"You are the one for me."

"I want the memories of the rest of your life to be about me."

" Promise me. If I die, you will live on."

Klaus’s voice rang in her ears, and the gentle, affectionate tones, like a spring breeze, touched her heartstrings tenderly. She was in tears, as if he had never been away from her. Each word was like the murmur of his voice beside her, carrying the warmth of the good times they had shared. The memories came like a tidal wave, each moment so vivid.

Suddenly the images of those memories vanished, dissipated without warning, like smoke swept away in an instant by a gust of wind. Her ears no longer caught any sound, and the world, which had been full of Klaus’s voice, was suddenly silent, as if she had fallen into a soundless abyss. The sudden silence overwhelmed her with panic and loss, as if the most important part of her life had been stripped from her.

It was as if Emily’s mind had been emptied of something, and she had tried desperately to retain the images of nothingness, but all that remained in her mind was a blank. Her hands flailed helplessly in the air, trying in vain to hold on to the fragments of memory that had faded away.

Her heart ached, so much that she could not breathe. The pain, like a sharp dagger, pierced her heart again and again, and almost choked her. Every breath was accompanied by a deep agony, as if the whole world were breaking down at that moment. It was as if her soul, too, had trembled in this agony, lost its way, lost its reliance.

Emily shrieked miserably, and then her body collapsed helplessly like a fading flower petal. The world around her faded from her vision, and darkness enveloped her.
