Chapter 433 - A Touching Reunion
He felt tears running down his shirt as they tightly held against one another.
For Aiden, it had only been one year since they had been apart, but for Emma, it had been five years.
She had thought that she had lost him…but he was here. Right in front of her, she could smell him, touch him…kiss him.
Emma had missed his presence for so long. She had tried to act strong in front of the others within her organization because she needed to. But…this was different. She cried in front of everyone around her. She didn't care anymore.
Aiden had arrived and would be the one to put an end to all this.
She had respected everything that he had told her before leaving. She had managed to gather allies and spies for him; she had waited for him while the Nightshades closed in on them.
But, now…after all this time, the weight that was on her shoulders finally vanished as soon as she saw him.
"Y-You're finally here…"
She struggled to align two words as she cried.
Aiden continued to reassure her as he patted the back of her head.
"I'm here…I'm here," he tenderly repeated.
He could feel the glares from everyone around him as he hugged her. However, he didn't care. Emma deserved that much.
Aiden had no idea how much she had gone through, but she had suffered a lot more than Aiden in the past five years.
Just with a quick look at her, Aiden could tell just how much she had grown over the past years. She was no longer this innocent-looking girl. She had trained and suffered a lot over the past years.
Aiden's fingers caressed her back, and he could feel huge scars, which made him frown.
"Who made those scars on your back?" Aiden asked out of nowhere.
Emma knew that tone in his voice, and she didn't want to tell him. She knew what would happen if she were to tell him. He would get mad, and he would immediately try to avenge her.
"C-Can't this wait…I just want to spend a day with you. I don't want to think about the war for today. That's all I ask, just one day with you."
Aiden heard the pain in her voice, and he realized that he might have been too hasty.
He hugged her back and whispered back to her, "Sure, we can spend the day together. It's been a long time since we've seen each other again."
However, while Aiden said that, he kept thinking about her scars, and he swore that the man who had done this would die by his hands.
There was no doubt about it in his mind.
That man would suffer more than anyone in the world.
How dare someone lay a finger on one of his women?
"Let's go to my room…" Emma whispered as it seemed she couldn't handle the stares that she was getting.
Aiden nodded, and they quickly went to their room.
As soon as they entered, Emma started undressing.

"If only you knew how much I've missed you…"
She pulled him and pushed him onto the bed as she started removing his pants.
Very quickly, they were in the process of having sex with one another as they tenderly kissed each other. It had been so long since they had touched one another that even the slightest movements would give one another a lot of pleasure.
Emma was also surprised by the skills Aiden had gathered during his training. He was making her cum instantly, and those moans echoed through the dimension.
However, the two of them didn't care whatsoever.
It continued until night as they fell asleep hugging one another.
Emma felt great as she had a smile on her face for the first time in a very long time.
Because of her role within the organization, she always needed to act cold and distant. However, that facade crumbled the moment she locked eyes with Aiden. The wall she had built up over the years disappeared in an instant.
The early morning quickly came, and their touching reunion came to an end as Aiden heard knocks on Emma's door.
"Hey, you two love birds, get out of there; we need to get moving!"
Aiden didn't quite recognize that voice, but it did seem familiar for some reason.
Nevertheless, he headed for the door with a frown as Emma was still barely waking up.
She wasn't wearing anything, but there were the bed sheets covering her body.
Aiden opened the door, and his eyes widened when he saw who was on the other side of it. One of his previous mentors…someone who had helped him and made him what the real was like.
It was Jake, who hadn't aged one bit, with his little smirk.
"I guess you really returned, huh? And here I thought that you had abandoned us."
Aiden was surprised to see Jake helping them since he was the kind of person who was alone. However, it seemed Emma had managed to convince him.
Jake kept staring at him and nodded. "I guess those years of training didn't go to waste. You're just a little weaker than me now."
Aiden laughed at him. "As if. You wouldn't be able to touch me if you tried. You haven't seen anything yet."
Jake frowned at those words as he really thought what he had just mentioned. But what Jake ignored was Aiden's Demonic Form, which made him 20 times stronger.
If he were to go in that form, no one in this world would be able to rival him. He had also learned magic, amongst other things. What he was seeing right now was very far away from his true potential.
Still, Aiden shook his head as it sounded important why Jake had come knocking on their door.
"So, why are you here?"
"Well, isn't it obvious? Every high-ranking officer has arrived, and it's time to prepare our plan to take over the Nightshade's Territory."
Aiden smirked.
He couldn't wait to see what those officers were like.
