Chapter 143 - A WIDOW (1/2)

”Actually, there was storm for three days after the mating ceremony.” Liam told Zuri about it as he closed the curtain, so the girl could stop staring at the gloomy sky, it was so depressing to say the least.

”Storm,” Zuri repeated the words.

Liam was not sure whether it was a simply confirmation, or she was asking a question. ”Yes, storm for three days straight.”

Liam took the tray to her laps and encouraged her to eat some, as he could see that she was still in so much pain, yet she suck it all.

”You need to eat.”

”I don't feel I want to eat.”

Liam knew that would be her answer, but then he didn't give in. ”At least do it as a form of apologize to me.”

Zuri raised her head and shot him a look, as if she was saying; why should I? Probably, in normal day, she would frown as well.

”You strangled me and then clawed me, remember?” Liam leaned in and then showed a little bit scars near his eyes, which was not able to fully recover, apparently, the wound was too deep and he almost lost his sight, had Zuri clawed his eyes.

However, on the other hand, Zuri didn't seem to feel bad about that at all. ”Serve you right,” she said quietly and then took the warm milk from the tray.

Liam sighed and then silently, he watched how the girl in front of her ate her food, though it most likely she stuffed her face with that instead of chewing them.

But then, it was better than she didn't want to eat at all.

”Zuri…” Liam called her name. He took a quick glimpse at the bandage on her neck, where Emmet had marked her. ”How are you feeling?”

”Fantastic.” Her expression completely the opposite of what she was saying.

”Is there anything I can do to help you?”

”Of course.”

”Tell me, I will see if I can do that.” Liam just wanted Blue to feel slightly better with all of these chaos that came to her continuesly.

Zuri put down her cutleries and then for the first time looked at Liam right in the eyes. ”Kill your father and brother and then burn this pack. I will be happy if you can do that for me.”

”Zuri, that's not how it works…” Liam was startled to see the hostility in her bright hazel eyes. She looked more alive than she was in these few days.

Zuri said nothing to him, but that was exactly what she would do, but for now, Liam was right, she needed all the energy that she could get to stay alive.

Right at the heat of moment, Emmet walked into the room and his brows shot up when he saw Liam was there.

”Can I have alone time with my mate?” He asked condescendingly, he emphasized the words 'my mate', but the tone that he used was like a curse in his tongue.

Liam looked at Zuri and then stood up from the edge of the bed, as he walked out of the room without saying anything.

A coward. Zuri labeled him when he watched how his back disappeared behind the door. A coward, but had the audacity to offer a help for her.
