Chapter 138 - BLOODY NIGHT (4)

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."

"What do you mean it will jinx the ceremony?" Alpha Xerxes narrowed his eyes, he seemed to not agree with how Liam put this matter. He was not in the right mood after all to have someone objected him again and again.

He should have known about Blue's tendency and took a serious precaution against her. However, he enjoyed the part where he could take Mateo's life and blamed it on the girl's head, and to watch how hurt and devastated she was, it was perfect…

"There was a death today, so you shouldn't have performed the mating ceremony on the same day." Liam was trying his best to meet his father's eyes, but it was hard for him, since the alpha was very dominant. He knew that and he used his power to intimidate his son or anyone, who opposed him.

Liam averted his gaze and glanced at his brother, Emmet, who didn't pay any attention to what was happening now, since his eyes were somewhere else, he was staring at a certain someone in the crowd and Liam could guess it very easy that he was staring at his mate.

"Father… tonight is not a blessing night… why don't you move it to some other time?" Liam felt pressured when his father didn't say anything and forced to talk more to fill the awkward silence.

The ceremony would only be able to be held when the full moon, thus to postpone it tonight, it meant they needed to wait for another full moon, which was next moon.

Alpha Xerxes didn't have that patient to wait so long…

"Put her down," Alpha Xerxes said, this time, he spoke in his alpha tone that made Liam shuddered, because it took everything in him to not bend his knees in front of his alpha.

Blue opened her eyes, she felt the tugged within her that forced her to submit upon hearing that voice, but her beast, that was sleeping deep down inside of her struggled to not give in. She glared at him and if look could kill, alpha Xerxes would have died in a thousand different ways.

"Emmet, take your mate and start the ceremony." Alpha Xerxes ordered his son and he walked to the river first, let the cold water soaked his cloak. He was wearing a yellow bright cloak, with a symbol of full moon behind it.

"Give her to me," Emmet said to Liam, but he didn't wait for his brother to hand Blue over, as he took her anyway.

At this time, Blue used every strength that she could to twist her body and stab Emmet with the onlace that she kept it on her ankle.

She was dropped down to the ground and watched Emmet's shoulder was bleeding because of the wound that she caused.

"YOU F*CKING B*TCH!" Emmet roared in anger, but Blue pointed the onlace against her neck.
