Chapter 138 - BLOODY NIGHT (4) (1/2)
Blue felt her head was under the water, she didn't think that it would feel like this when a shifter was wearing the bracelet that prevented them to shift into their beast form.
Not only that, it slowed down their healing progress as well, so it left Blue like a normal human being. She was bleeding and wounded, scratches littered all over her body, but who would care about that?
Liam was trying to make her move and when Blue, apparently, was too hard to put one step in front of the other, he picked her up and carried her in his arms.
In this rate, the wound that Blue caused on his face had almost healed completely, but the blood still smeared his feature.
Blue wanted to protest and demanded to be put down, yet Liam only hissed at her about to not cause another scene, since she wouldn't be so lucky the next time.
”Put me down,” Blue said sternly, as firm as she could muster, since her head was spinning.
”Leave it, Zuri,” he said in low voice. ”You will be more miserable than this.”
Alpha Xerxes and Emmet were walking in front of them, leading this small party back to where they would hold the mating ceremony. They saw what Liam did to Blue, but apparently they didn't care much about it, as long as they could get Blue to the mating ceremony faster.
”You can kill me,” Blue hissed. ”Kill me, Liam.”
Liam's brows taut in frustration, but he ignored that plea and Blue knew she wouldn't get what she wanted, thus she closed her eyes and leaned over against his shoulder, resting her head there.
There were too many things that roam around her head and she couldn't get her mind wrapped around the idea of being mated with Emmet.
That was disgusted.
They walked for a few more minutes before Blue heard the commotion of the party, but when they saw Alpha Xerxes and his small group of people that he brought to chase after Blue, all of the commotion and noises died down.
They lowered their head and stepped back, not only the omega, but also the people from his own pack as well.
It seemed he killed Mateo right in front of them, as an announcement for those who was trying to defy him, death would be the consequences.
The tension was so thick and fear hang in the air, Blue even could smell their restlessness and felt their anxiety about what would happen in the end of this night.
”Put her down,” Alpha Xerxes told Liam, as they reached the sacred river, where the ceremony would be held, where Emmet would mark Blue in front of the rest of the pack.
Liam frowned again, his expression was trouble, but he didn't do what his father wanted him to do immediately. ”Father,” he said, hesitation in his voice. ”Why don't we postpone this and do it again next time? You just killed someone tonight, it will jinx the mating ceremony.”
