Chapter 187 - SHE DIDN'T MEAN IT

July was speechless and didn't know what to do, but then Jasmine wailed all of sudden, her voice cracked with sadness, as she stared at the man.

"Knox, please help me, jasmine wants to kill me…" Jasmine said, she looked pitiful and her cheeks stained with tears, as she held her bleeding legs.

At first, July was stunned by what Jasmine was doing, she couldn't understand why she did that and called Knox in such a sweet voice. She acted like her.

But then, when the realization crept to her Knox was already standing right in front of them both, as he stared down at Jasmine, who was holding his legs, as tears streamed down her cheeks.

What the hell?! She was trying to fool Knox and acted like her!

They were indeed twin, and the fact that Knox had not yet seen her for eight years, it was enough to make July panicked. She was afraid that Knox would mistaken her from her twin.

"Fuck you, Jasmine!" July roared in anger, she pointed her gun against her head, but then Knox knelt down and held her face, as he stared intently at her.

"Knox, please… help me," Jasmine said, sobbing.

July was dumbstruck. "What the hell are you doing? I am July!" she gritted her teeths, the gun felt cold in her hand when she watched how Knox held her face between his big hands. She still remembered how it felt to be touched by him.

"Knox…"

The way Jasmine whispered his name made July sick, she wanted to blast her head and watched her brain scattered on this snowy ground, but she couldn't do that, there was something in her that couldn't pull it through to kill her own sister.

Shooting her legs was way different from shooting her empty head.

For a moment there was silence, as they stayed in the same position without even dare to move a single muscle, the tension was so thick, until Knox tilted his head and shifted his gaze to July.

"What are you doing, silly? I am holding her for you, so you can shoot her without trouble," he said calmly, as his grip against Jasmine's face became even tighter. Harder than that, he would have smashed her head with his barehands. "Of course, I know it is you, love. You will never beg so pathetically like this to me."

That was one thing that Knox knew for sure. Aside from the fact that he could recognize July, even if she had a thousand twins.

"So, will you shoot her, or should I kill her for you?" he smiled warmly at her, like he used to, as if the eight years apart was nothing for him, as if they were never been apart. "You look gorgeous as always by the way."

==================== 

Zuri closed her eyes tightly, her body trembled, as she was trying to push him away from her. This was too much, she was overwhelmed by the fact that she was being hugged.

She didn't like the feeling of someone else breathed against her skin, or being trapped like this. She wanted to shift into her beast and dug her claw against his chest so he would release her, but the small part of her consciousness tried to prevent her from doing such thing.

It was Chaos. He would never hurt you. He would never do something that hurt you. He would never put you in pain.

But then, she was in this state and condition because of him. She left her for years. He hurt her…

It was easy to blame someone, though she knew very well, there was no way he would let this happened to her if he knew it.

"Let… me go…" she was stammering when she said that, her heart was beating so fast against her chest, as she breathed raggedly. "Let me go… don't touch me…"

Yet, Chaos didn't hear her plea and rested his head against her shoulder, breathing in her scent.

Zuri couldn't hold this feeling any longer, she couldn't breathe. She needed to get away from Chaos before her instinct resolved into violence act.

While closing her eyes, the image of Emmet touched her body came again, how he breathed down her neck, just like how Chaos did now. His warm breath against her skin was something that disgusted her.

The way he held her, or how hot his skin… this was too much… she had had enough.

Zuri couldn't take it.

And it happened too fast, even before she could think through about what she was doing, it happened just like that.

A second ago Chaos was holding her tight, but a moment later, he fell on her laps, bleeding profusely from a big wound from his chest.

He was bleeding, so did Zuri's hand.

Apparently, her hand shifted into claws and she dug her sharp razor claw onto his chest.

Zuri didn't mean it. She didn't mean to hurt him. Would he die?

In her panic, she crawled back from him, putting a distance between them, so she wouldn't have to feel his skin against hers, only in that way she couldn't think straight.

However, the scene before her eyes was another nightmare for her. Chaos didn't move and the dirty ground beneath his body smeared by his blood.

She didn't know how long had past, but the next thing that Zuri realized was; Gael was already next to her, put his arm around her shoulder, while the five men tried to help Chaos.

"Don't touch me," Zuri growled dangerously in low voice, her eyes glistened with fear and panic when Gael appeared all of sudden. She moved to the side to avoid him. Her claws emerged from the tips of her fingers once again.

On the other hand, Gael was surprised to see Zuri's reaction and how she had grown into a beautiful young girl.

How long it had been?
