Chapter 167 - I AM DEAD

"Go back to your world if this is too much for you," Zuri snapped at him and then walked away with the money prize that she just stolen from those burglars that wanted to rob her.

Was that right to rob someone, who was about to rob you?

And then, how could this girl said that. Hades owned the underworld and all the dead things in it, how could this be too much for him?

Hades frowned. "Why I feel like my pride is hurt?"

"You don't have pride, don't act like you have one," Zuri spoke lightly, as she walked away.

"Wah… I don't believe it. You are worse than them," Hades grimaced. "That's so low, you are a thief. Don't you have any shame girl? I don't like you."

However, it was either Zuri didn't listen to him, or simply she ignored him again, but she said nothing to the last statement.

On the other hand, Hades could only click his tongue when he watched the three men on the ground. They were not dead, unfortunately, but surely they had run out of luck the moment they provoked the girl.

But then, at that moment, Hades found the girl was very interesting. She was not only could sense Chaos' shattered soul, but there was something to her.

Stealthy, Hades followed behind her and watched how the girl took her surroundings, despite the trauma that she received and any horrible moment that she had gone through.

The girl would cry, being in the lowest point in her life, but when she felt better, she was ready to take the world again.

This was interesting for Hades…

======================= 

"We are heading there, father," Jasmine informed her father through the phone, while Liam and four shifters, who came with him, were waiting in the room before they took their flight to the frozen lake. "No, I can't reach Sol," she said.

Her brother apparently was indulging himself with his childhood first love. The term alone made Jasmine wanted to vomit. They should have killed the girl and didn't let her escape that night, just for a useless plan that didn't come out well.

Only if they could keep her and let her gave birth to her non- human being daughter, they would save time and energy. They could have observed her since she was only a babe, which gave them more information about her, since she was very rare. The little girl was not a vampire, shifter or even a witch.

"Yes, I will keep trying to reach him," Jasmine said solemnly, but her eyes showed how much she hated the idea that her father still didn't want to get rid of his useless son. In her opinion, she was more than enough for her father. She would be a great successor for him. "Yes, I will keep my eyes on him."

And after a few more talk, Jasmine hung up the call. Her expression didn't look good, she hated it when her father didn't acknowledge what she had done for the organization.

But when she was in deep thought, her body jolted when someone hugged her from behind.

"What are you doing?" Jasmine hissed when Liam rested his chin on her shoulder and kissed her neck. "Someone will see us."

"Let them see us," Liam murmured against her skin, it was hard for him to keep his hands off her. "You are my mate."

"Liam!" Jasmine called his name sternly and shoved him away from her. The moment her body turned around, she could see hurt in his eyes. He was hurt by her reaction.

Therefore, despite her gruesome for being mistreated by her father, Jasmine suppressed her ego and came to him, kissing both of his cheeks and talked to him in gentle tone.

"We can't afford anyone to see us. You know the problem between us is very complicated."

No one knew about this forbidden relationship and Jasmine didn't have any intention of letting others knew about this.

A daughter of the head of The Hound was a mate to the alpha from the larger pack of the shifter? That sounded very ridiculous. Jasmine didn't want to jeopardize the image that she had built for the public.

But, she needed to keep Liam around her finger, just in case. He would come to use someday.

"You keep saying that," Liam growled and then got out of the room to join the other shifters from his pack, his eyes slightly darker when he shoved Jasmine aside and this made the girl gritted her teeth.

=====================   

"What are you waiting for?" Hades asked her when he watched Zuri had been standing in the same position for more than twenty minutes, staring at the manor.

This manor originally was the McKeltar's property, but the attack eight years ago and the disappearance of all the member of the McKeltar family turned this place into an abandoned building.

However, little did they know that this building was bought by an artist, who had retired from her career and chose to stay here since two years ago.

Yes, this place was the place where July managed her organization, gathered all the shifters and people, who didn't have the same opinion like The Hound, those people, who didn't see the non- human being as a threat.

Zuri knew about it from the information that she gathered when she was still in Xerxes's pack.

"Should I ring the bell?" Hades was being impatient with Zuri now, he didn't come here to see her dozed off. He wanted to see what she was going to do when she entered the place that filled with memories for her.

Would she keep her stoic expression.

"I will kill you if you dare…" but, before Zuri could finish her words, Hades had rang the bell and the sound was very loud.

"But, I am already dead, I can't be more dead than this."
