"Then I see that you have been able to find a precious pearl, Emma. "
I reply to that one without hesitation, with a serious voice, but maintaining that feeling of warmth that was perceived to come from her with a lot of force which was framed in the entire curvature of her mouth in the figure of a smile.
The aunt, after looking at Lina, moved away from me for a moment and went to where this girl was, who without being able to say a word was only dedicated to observing her.
Once in front of her, such a woman gently took her by the hands because I was looking first of all to attract her so that Lina would follow him until finally positioning her right in front of me.
Already there, Susan took Lina's hands next to mine since she was in the middle of the two making the figure of a triangle line up between us, she joined them one on top of the other while hers formed a kind of cocoon around, while she said without delay.
"I hope that both of them can appreciate each other enough so that their friendship is entirely lasting because once the affection between wolves and humans arises, the bond must be entirely protected. "
"Protected because" I question Lina.
"For the value it has; the fact that one and the other, divided both your Lina as a human and Emma as a Wolf, knows of their existence can be both a matter of salvation or perdition depending on the circumstances due to the consequences that the treaty may entail against you, including of course the death sentence. "
Death sentence I thought "it's not too high a sentence to pay" I questioned myself trying to analyze the situation.
Susan, after wanting to continue following the same companion who was carrying that conversation, diverted her gaze to contemplate Dominieck for some time when she realized that he was staring at her.
Her way of acting and expressing herself from one moment to the next without warning changed drastically so they began to become unpredictable since by that moment her eyes emanated an obvious accusation against Dominieck, a look that was accompanied in turn by curiosity and discontent about her person, while that woman continued to reply loudly.
"Treaty that the young man here suggested some years ago before the four alphas" commented the one while shrugging his shoulders pretending an unusual indifference while pointing it out while continuing to reply "so today both humans and wolves were divided, although I do not say that it was wrong on the one hand I understand that it was the right thing.
Dominieck, after listening to her, became tense and began to look everywhere with a suspicious attitude because he was desperately trying to find out who of us besides Susan was also reproaching him for his actions in the past as those words had been repeated since without a doubt he had caught the accusation that such a woman was making against him directly.
"Because you look at me like that Susan, you know perfectly well that what I did was with the complete intention of protecting them, although I shouldn't because you know honestly what I think about humans. "
I quote that man completely keeping his great arrogance intact, while he puffed up his chest with air and placed his hands on both sides of his hips pretending to be a false hero.
"Um! I know perfectly what you think about us, you don't have to remind me at all, but now something tells me that since the first time we met you only speak from your need to protest added to your bad character so you give simple excuses that are not relevant. "
Aunt Susan at that moment was distilling something of undeniable poison because she seemed to be completely sure of her words.
Now, in any case, we still could not do anything except for the moment to observe and listen, since nothing dangerous was happening while it was just continuing.
"Besides, Dominieck, I'm sure there is some other human that you really like or you wouldn't have taken such trouble to supposedly save them back then, starting of course from your strange point of view, and least of all you would be standing here today precisely with us next to three detestable humans. "
Dominieck at the words of the aunt was very upset so much so that you could see how he clenched his teeth containing a possible surge of emotions.
"Bullshit I'm only here because Lombardi asked me, nothing more, for now, you know it well, besides you and I, in any case, Susan, we have no outstanding accounts. "
The aunt, hearing him disown, was quite enraged, so much so that she even seemed to go out of her mind.
Despite being a completely docile person and difficult to anger according to what I knew about her, I could notice how she clenched her teeth fervently, never in the years I was knowing her had I ever seen her like that, I could even go so far as to say that it seemed that at any moment she was going to explode.
Susan looked at that man in a somewhat terrifying way, so much so that to top it off it seemed that she would throw herself at him and try to kill him at any moment, which undoubtedly meant that this would end up getting worse before getting better.
That woman without even thinking about it looked at us, smiled at us, and took her hands away from ours, thus getting rid of the calm that still surrounded her so she almost immediately began to move away from our side taken by his anger.
"Wait for me here, I have something to do" comment that immediately walked away for a few short steps. "
"Aunt Susan no, wait where you're going? "
I shouted, but that one I just didn't answer more ignore me, so it was that I saw her walking away from us, I stared at her throughout her journey so I could notice how she approached Dominieck as determined as I had never seen her in my life, so I was completely sure that the aunt would end up committing some madness and I knew I wasn't wrong.
I watched her, for nothing and nothing apart my eyes from her, much less blinked because I could not afford to miss any detail in case I had to get involved to prevent some misfortune from happening, so it was that I contemplated how that woman faced the same death in the figure of that man without retracting.
Once he was close enough to Dominieck, Susan made a quick and precise movement, and attacked him, because simply contracting his right arm back I threw it almost like a weapon springing forward giving an accurate blow like that against the stomach of that man, celebrating with what joy in his soul.
Although he could not do real harm to such a subject if he gave him to feel because it was all more than unexpected.
We thought that everything would get there because the surprise after seeing such images was reflected in our eyes who were stunned and more than puzzled.
But no, the aunt had other plans because no sooner did that one slouch because of the sensations that that produced, such a woman took a small leap and again uttered another blow this time with her whole open hand directly against the back of her head.
"Susan... "Dominieck shouted angrily after receiving that impact "What the hell is wrong with you? "
"You should know by now, don't you think so or should I say then that I feel that someone here has forgotten what good manners are and what courtesy means, it's not fair that I have to remind you that you should greet your elder's little rascal, once you approach. "
"Oh no! you're going to start, I should remind you then that in any case, I'm the older of the two, not you" replied the one who once joined again. "
"To begin with... no young man you know well that it is the only thing that has always claimed you for the same I will not stay calm until I receive it. "
Those two seemed to find themselves arguing annoyingly against each other about something meaningless, it was what we could notice, but in reality, we were very far from reality.
The contest between the two continued for a few more seconds, during which time they challenged each other without measure until after a prudent period everything took a turn of three hundred and sixty degrees.
Out of nowhere those two after seeing our faces who were lying with completely open eyes and slightly drooping mouths started laughing at the top of their lungs so that you could feel the mockery coming from them.
When they saw them, they even seemed to enjoy the complete chaos they had formed when they saw how we were still perplexed and confused on the side, which made it all very difficult to understand because we no longer knew whether to intervene to stop everything or let them continue with their game.
After all, now, great was the surprise that we took after seeing how those two finally embraced with such familiarity as if it were the reunion between two brothers who, despite not seeing each other for a long time, cannot help but take the opposite and fight, before dedicating some show of affection.
"What has happened here? "question leaving in the air an obvious feeling of confusion.
Uncle Martin, who was standing to one side, smiled extremely embarrassed to contemplate such a fuss while he stood there still, even though it was obvious that everything could go wrong, but, even so, he preferred to give a vote of confidence to be particularly knowledgeable about how the relationship of those two is.
"These two, I wonder when the time will come when they greet each other like civilized people" mused the one while he brought his right hand to the sides of his head where he tried to give a slight massage merely using the middle finger next to the thumb.
"Wait a minute Lombardi, maybe this is all a game" commented Lina with some discontent after paying attention to him.
The uncle, listening to him, raised his head so that he could look back to where Susan was still next to Dominieck and gave Lina an answer to her doubt without looking at her "you could say yes, although not quite.
"As I do not understand, it is or it is not "I repeated" it is a game or what such a contest between them is about.
"Believe me, I don't even fully understand it myself, they just behave that way since they met, so girls you can imagine the surprised face I put on seeing them fight like that the first time when I met them.
"When did you meet them? "I questioned before the surprise " but it is not supposed that the aunt and you have been together for years, as it has been then since when you met Dominieck.
"If you are correct, Susan and I have been together for quite some time, but she and Dominieck, without a doubt, had been friends for longer; imagine if some good years have already passed since that day when we collided as I met them that at that time I didn't even think that the forest thing would happen so much less imagined that we would both end up in Venice together and married, so I could say that I have known this man for a long time.
