Chapter 160 - I DON'T LIKE TO REPEAT MYSELF

"Don't… touch me…" Zuri managed to speak those words and moved her body slightly, she found a man was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Her eyes darted to the door and could clearly see that the door was still locked, so how could he come into her room without any sound? Or she slept so deep and was oblivious when someone entered her room?

That couldn't be true.

Zuri shook her head to gain more consciousness, she needed to be alert when there was someone else here and moreover, he was too close for her like.

"Why?" the man asked, he looked at her innocently. "Because it reminds you about what your mate had done to you?"

Her body tensed when he spoke that way and her fists balled, until she could feel her nails pierced her palms, if there was no bracelet around her wrist, she would have shifted into her beast by now.

However, in her current condition, she was not sure if she was strong enough to even defense herself against this man.

"Pardon me, do I say something wrong?" the man asked her again, he feigned a concern look on his face, but the only thing that Zuri wanted to do to him was to tear him apart and left this room.

"Leave me alone," Zuri gritted her teeth when she forced herself to speak with so much anger.

"Why I should leave you alone when you need help the most now," the man kept spitting nonsense and Zuri's mind was too tired to follow with whatever he intended to do. She wanted him to stop talking and leave. "I can help you, Zuri… or, should I call you Blue?"

Zuri's eyes hardened when she heard that name. No one ever called her with that name again when she was left alone in her uncle's pack. How could this man know that name?

"I remember you like that name, right?" the man talked joyfully, he moved closer to her, but Zuri pressed her body against the wall behind her, trying to get away from him. "You like that name because it reminds you of his eyes, right?"

Right.

But, for same reason, she hated that name now. She didn't want to be called with that name, not even wanted to hear it.

"Why?" The man studied Zuri's expression. "You don't seem like you want to be called in that name."

"Who are you?" Zuri asked him, her eyes were so sharp when she watched how this man hit his forehead, as if he had forgotten something.

"Oh, right!" he said loudly. "I forgot to introduce myself, you must be very confused, right? Oh, where is my manner…"

Zuri didn't even give any reaction to that response. She remained in her spot, glaring at him in warning to not come closer.

"I am an old friend," he said, but politely just nodded at her because he knew that she didn't want to be touched. "We have met before. Well, I can't say that we meet… but I know you for a long time."

If he said that he knew her for a long time, then Blue completely didn't remember him at all. Either he was lying or he just came up with that story.

"I am Hades," he said his name clearly and proudly. "I owned you before, but Chaos succeeded to take you away from me." Hades looked disappointed when he said that.

Hades.

The name rang in her ears. She remembered what Anne had told her about Chaos, who had brought her back from death. It was Hades, the god of the underworld, the unseen.

"What? Do you want to take me back?" Zuri spoke with so much sarcasm in her words. "Take me. I don't care."

Chaos shouldn't have saved her eight years ago, so she could die when she felt whole, when she was herself and was not consumed by repulsion like now. This feeling ate her alive…

"Ah!" Hades clapped his hand. "Unfortunately, I can't do that…" he said regretfully. "I come to make a pact with you, will you listen to me?"

"No." The answer came very firm. "Now, leave."

"I am afraid I can't do that, Blue…"

"Stop calling me that," Zuri hissed.

"Zuri," Hades corrected himself.

"Don't call me at all."

She looked so stubborn and in pain, not that kind of pain that her healing ability could heal, but something that was so damage until time couldn't even fix it.

Hades then stretched out his hands and grabbed hers, as the young girl was struggling from his clutch.

"Don't. Touch. Me." Zuri stressed in every words, but it was not enough to make this man to let her go, instead, he moved closer and kissed her forehead gently.

"I will take you with me when the time is right, but for now, consider my offer."

Zuri shut her eyes tightly, she felt her whole body was trembling when she felt his breath against her neck when he whispered those words to her, but then he disappeared, not even his clutch on her wrist that she could feel.

He was gone when Zuri opened her eyes again, but when she looked down, the bracelet that shackled her beast, had been come off her wrist.

Consider his offer…

What kind of offer that he wanted from her?

==================== 

Damon's jaw dropped when he heard what Liam demanded from him.

"What? What did you just say?" he looked at the young alpha in disbelieved, was this the same boy that he didn't even need to spare a second glance weeks ago? But now… he looked even crazier than his father.

"Should I repeat it to you again? I am sure you heard me clearly," Liam replied, he leaned his back against the wall behind him, as he stared at the beta. "I hate it when I have to repeat myself."
