Chapter 135 - BLOODY NIGHT (1/2)

”Zuri, where are you going?” Alpha Xerxes emerged from the dark, he looked at Blue with malice in his eyes.

However, what took Blue's attention was not him, but what was in his hand. That thing was round and bleeding, she knew immediately because the scent of blood hit her hard. How could she not sense it earlier?

Just like how she didn't realize that she was being surrounded until it was too late. And then something click in her head that Alpha Xerxes used the same things that The Hound's members used. How could he has his hand on something that was The Hound's weapon to fight against the shifters?

”I remember that I told you tonight is your mating ceremony, right? So, what are you doing out here?” He asked in cheerful voice, but then Emmet emerged from the dark and his expression was completely disgusted.

Yet, Emmet didn't look at Blue in disgusted eyes, because they fixed on the thing that was in Alpha Xerxes' hand.

”You always admire your bravery, little one, but I don't appreciate it when you show it in an important occasion like now.” He wiggled his forefinger in front of his face with his free hand. ”You should learn to not let your impusiveness got the better of you, child.”

Blue was sick to her stomach every time she heard the way he called her with that endearment words.

”Come here, my child and no one will get hurt.” He beckoned her with his finger. ”You have hurt someone tonight, don't hurt more people again, okay?”

Blue's grip on her backpack tightened. She looked at Alpha Xerxes dead in his eyes, while her mind started wondering, who he had hurt tonight, but then she made a slight mistake by taking a quick glimpse at Emmet.

Of course that move didn't go unnoticed by Alpha Xerxes, which ha cackled eerily and the cloud above them moved to give that place more light, as the moon shone brightly above them.

”Oh, no, of course not Emmet. You don't have to worry, nothing will hurt your precious soon- to- be mate.” He shook his head and Blue could see pretty clearly how obsession could make someone go from crazy to be insane.

Blue tried to ignore Alpha Xerxes's monologue, as she thought of the option that she had. She could shift into her beast and fought her way out of this place, or she could simply return and found another way to escape.

She needed to appease Alpha Xerxes first or else he would take his anger out to the omega, like he used to, since he had talked about hurting someone.

However, Blue was clueless about what Alpha Xerxes had done… he was not talking about going to hurt someone, but he had hurt someone by now.

”What I meant is this…” He smirked viciously and tossed the thing in his hand right to Blue's feet.

Blue didn't realize it at first when that thing came to her line of sight, the blood splattered in the air and the light of the moon hit the surface of it, allowed Blue to see what exactly that object was.

Once she realized what it was, she could feel her blood freeze as she went numb and the only thing that she could do right at this moment was only staring at the helpless object that had laid on the ground, near her feet, as she recognized what it was.
