[SICARIO]
[Fifty-six months ago]
When Jer reached Luna Eniola, he looked at her, the mother of his mate. Granted the mate bond wasn't real, but this woman had been their caregiver for years. He hated that this was happening but what other choice did he have?
"I'm so sorry... I wish I had another choice," Jer said before he swung his blade and struck Luna, only for Eniola to catch the blade and shock Jer. It all happened so fast that the action that day still haunted Jeremiah.
He had never imagined that Eniola would see him because he could have sworn they were still glamorized. Razia who was watching was also in shock, maybe because she hadn't expected this too.
Well, this war the white wolf's mother surely didn't expect that she had the sight to see through glamorous, right? It was the worst miscalculation on their part, but that didn't matter so much, because no one could see them.
"Took you long enough and even then you couldn't store. What a pity," Luna Eniola said as she held the blade in her hands, even though she had caught it on the sharp side. The pain was stinging, but none more than the betrayer.
"Hello Razia... SO much for friendship, huh?" Eniola said and Razia stared at her best friend. She found this wasn't the best way for them to form their friendship, but then there was a ticking time bomb in Sicario that needed to be slowed down.
They needed to buy more time to get a solution and what better way was there for them other than to attack the centerpiece? With the queen out, the chess board would be easy to overtake. But was this the right queen?
"It's not personal, Eni. Your daughter is going to be the end of us all and the only way to make sure that she doesn't ruin all the places we have, is to make sure that you're out of the chessboard.
"But you already knew that when you came to me about your husband and Dom months ago, right? You knew I was out for the girl and you wanted to thwart it. So, you came and planted the idea in my head because you knew it had to happen.
"For someone so dedicated, you couldn't even change your own fate, oh Eni," Razia said as she looked around. She always loved Eniola but her survival and that of her people was important.
If Awuor found out about this, he would be doomed, at least that much he knew.
"Change your clothes, stupid," Razia said as she threw some clothes at Jer.
The poor man was still in shock and not even sure what he needed to do, but then he had to do what Razia wanted. So defeatedly he changed his clothes, as he watched the luna bleed.
He could still save Luna Eniola and let her wolf heal her, but then there was that blade on her neck. The blade stopped her blood vessels from closing up and even making her werewolf powers be in play.
This was the cruelest thing Jeremiah had ever been a part of and he despised himself for that. He hated that there was no other way out of this. He hated that even to this point; he couldn't save the woman who meant something to his Awuor.
Oh, how his heart hurt.
"What do we do now? We can't leave her like this!" Jer said, trying to argue with the fact that leaving the woman here would be the most dangerous of decisions for them all. If Awuor came and saw them, then they would be scared.
"No, we won't leave her like that. Drag her body to the dark corridor over there and pull the curtains close. Make sure that no one can see her from there. I'll clean the blood, unless you want to clean the blood," Razia said and Jer sighed.
He was never going to have a voice after this and he owned it. He had just sold whatever was left of his soul to Razia and there was no getting it back. So definitely, he looked at the woman on the ground and apologized silently. Read new chapters at m_v-l'e|-novelhall.net
"She's still alive?" Jer asked when he dragged Eniola and felt her hand holding his leg. It was a grip so tight even as her claws came out and punctured Jer's ankle. It was something that would take a while to heal and Jer despite that.
Then again, was that the least of his worries or was he just in deep shit on his own this time?
"Of course. She is going to be like that," Razia chuckled darkly.
