章 382: BACK-STORY

Curtis watched the guys deliberate silently in their personal thoughts about the matter at hand,  and soughed. He didn't know how he was feeling. Although he was sad that Derek was like this, he still thought the latter stupid. How could he demean his mate like that in front of such a multitude without flinching? He wasn't surprised with Emma's outburst. The girl had always been strong headed. When he had seen her at the party last night, looking all ethereal and beautiful, he had remembered that she had been the same girl he had met at one park one time. He had been trying to toast her then, before his sister had disrupted the act. Then he  had thought her the most beautiful human, and it hadn't changed still. And when she had seen thrown his mate far across the room without touching the latter, he had been shocked more than annoyed, aware that the redhead wasn't a human.
