Chapter 140 - BLOODY NIGHT (6) (1/2)
”Kill her.” And Alpha Xerxes decided to take one step ahead, as he ordered the two guards from earlier to kill Meredith right in front of them. This was only a game for Alpha Xerxes, who had been through so much to know how to play it.
Therefore, he felt like he needed to show the young fierce girl before his eyes how to play it…
”NO!” Emmet jumped to his feeth and bared his fangs at the two guards, who were ready to approach his mate. His instinct kicked in. No matter how harsh he was, he was not going to let someone touch his mate, let alone to kill her.
Meanwhile, Meredith was crying, her whole body was trembling, she was holding onto Emmet's trouseur for dear life, turning her head left and right, afraid that one of those people would start to jump on her and butchered her like what they did to Mateo.
”FATHER! YOU PROMISED ME!” Emmet yelled at his father desperately, he was trying to make this right and saved the situation. No, he wanted to save his mate, since he knew that his father wouldn't kill him.
However, to threaten his life like Blue was doing, it was out an option. He didn't want to go that far…
Alpha Xerxes raised his hand and the two guards stopped approaching them.
”Put down your onlace and accept the ceremony, or I will kill her right before your eyes.” Alpha Xerxes was talking to Blue, his eyes fixed on her and he could see how much hatred that she held against him. Great. Hate was a good reason to stay alive.
”Zuri…” Emmet turned around, he only managed to call her name, but this was the first time that he pleaded to her. ”Don't do it.” He clenched his fists beside his body and followed Blue's line of sight, which fell on Meredith.
The girl was only friend that she had, she always treated her nicely and one of two people that she acknowledge from her former uncle's pack, aside from Mateo.
And now Blue had lost Mateo, she didn't feel it was right to put her on the same fate like him.
”Zuri, please…” Meredith spoke to her silently, but Blue could read the way her lips quivered. ”I am afraid…”
I am afraid…
The words echoed in her mind.
I am afraid too, said a tiny part of herself. She was afraid, but she had no one to help her.
”Liam, take her weapon.” Alpha Xerxes could see the hesitation in her eyes and that was enough for him to know that he had won the battle.
Therefore, he needed to take an action before Blue had made up her mind and created another decision. The decision that would make both of them loss.
Liam looked hesitated when he approached her, as he dropped to his knees and grabbed her hand, that was pointing the sharp edge of the onlace against her neck.
”Let me take this, Zuri,” Liam said, he was so close to her, thus it was possible for him to talk to her without anyone was able to listen. ”You need to survive to avenge your lost.”
