Julianna bristled when he suggested she was not in control. The fur on her twitching tail stood on end and her ears swiveled. Never mind that she couldn't see what he saw. She wasn't aware of the way her eyes had gone from an emerald green to a dull yellow; the pupils contracted into thin slits. When Jules was calm she had control over Belial, and the demon didn't have any chance of taking over, but the end of her patience was found at threats to her family. And Belial was an opportunist.
With a scoff she pushed his hands away from her shoulders. Turning away from him to pace the room, if she could see herself right now she would know he was making the right call. “I don't need you to keep track of me,” she challenged, pulling the sleeves of her sweater over her fingers. “You were insistent that I be trained. Insistent in knowing that I had your back and now you're leaving me here.” Her voice pitched higher, her tail curled tighter. Ears pinned to the crown of her head.
She stopped pacing when he claimed that he was too fucked up to make a decision. Julianna knew what he was trying to say. She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth and chewed on it in consideration. They didn't know the situation, they didn't know what the abductors knew of them. What if Julianna wasn’t the sort of wild card she imagined? What if they knew how to subdue her? If by some chance Owen was left with a choice, she knew the one he would make. She knew she couldn't put that burden on him.
When she turned to face him her eyes were green and wet with tears, again. She moved to wrap her arms around his waist, crushing her face against his chest. Her fingers curled into the material stretched across his back. They were running out of time. He needed to leave.
“If you don't come back-” she said against his chest, voice thick. “I fucking swear if you don't come back I won't forgive you.”
