Chapter 137 - BLOODY NIGHT (3)

Emmet walked closer to the beast and even though he knew he could handle the injured beast by his own, but the look that she gave him was deadly… she stared dagger at him and by any meant that made Emmet shuddered. He could feel cold crept down his spine only by the way she looked at him through her dark hazel eyes.

However, Emmet was under the eyes of the member of his pack and he would be an alpha one day, thus he wouldn't let his fear ruined this moment for him and let them pictured him as a coward, just like his brother.

He tightened his grip on the thing that his father gave to him and took one step at the time until he was close enough to the white beast.

"Hey, Zuri… I told you to not run away from me, remember?" He chatted to her to calm down the tension in the air, because that was how he worked with the whole situation like this. "I just want you to know that you bring this to yourself."

Emmet glanced at the head of Mateo, which was a few meter away from them, as he lowered himself to be on the same eye level like her.

They had been taught about how to fight a shifter in their human form, while the opponent was on their beast form. Apparently, tonight was the time to apply it in real action.

Emmet compossed himself and reciprocated Blue's glare, as he moved very fast to capture her front leg.

The white beast snapped and turned her body around to bit Emmet's hand, but he had held her neck and tackled her to the ground, and very swiftly fast, he put a bracelet on her front leg.

After he was sure that he heard the click sound, which meant it had been secured, Emmet backed away and watched in shocked how the white beast was forced to shift back into her human's form.

"What the hell…" he mumbled under his breath, even all the guards around him also didn't believe with what they were seeing.

It was not that they didn't know about the bracelet, since they had fought The Hound countless time and they would use the same bracelet to force them shift back into their human form, so it would be easier and less dangerous for them to capture the supernatural creature, especially the shifters.

However, to know that their Alpha possessed the same thing was quite a revelation for them. Where did he get that kind of thing?

Among the stupefied guards and beasts, it was only Alpha Xerxes, who seemed to enjoy the scene before his eyes.

The white beast shifted back into her human form and left Blue, stranded in the middle of this clearing, naked and since her hair was not long enough to cover her body, it left her very vulnerable. It was such a humiliation for her.

She gritted her teeth and glared at anyone, who was staring at her, gawking at her nakedness, but she couldn't shift back into her beast form. The bracelet didn't allow her to do it. She felt her beast was out of her reached, as it stayed deep within her, but disconnected to her completely.

It was a helpless feeling…

No one moved from where they were and the atmosphere turned very heavy, as the girl in white hair, with her body littered with wounds was so exposed for them to see.

Blue was trembling, her emotions were all over the places, she didn't know what to do or what would happen. And at that moment, she hoped Chaos had never brought her back to live if he was going to leave her alone in this cruel world.

He should have let her died.

He should have let her go…

Blue hated him for that reason. She hated him because she was left alone, she hated herself because no matter how hard the training that she got and no matter how strong she wanted to be, she was going back into a circle.

She was still the helpless girl, who had caused the death of the people around her. She still couldn't protect herself, let alone anyone.

The thought to end her life crossed her mind when someone walked toward her and drapped a coat over her body.

Blue didn't give any reaction when she felt someone approached her, since there was nothing she could do in her current state right now.

However, when she felt the warm cloak that was covered her nakedness, she lifted her head and saw Liam, he was trying to make the cloak cover most of her skin and helped her to wear it.

There was three gruesome claw marks on his face that was still bleeding, but apparently, they started to heal.

"You need to stand up, Zuri," he said in low voice, so it was only the two of them, who could hear him. "You can't be like this. Don't let them insult you like this."

Liam held her hand and helped her to stand up. He looked at her right in the eyes and that was the only thing that made Blue could move her body and lifted her chin up.

The only thing that connected her from her suicidal thought and the reality. She gritted her teeth and stood up.

One step at time. One step at time.

Mateo always said that to her when she felt down and he always knew when she felt like she was on the brink of the darkest time of her life.

She needed to walk away from her, so she needed to put one step after another. And that was what she did with the help of Liam, who was supporting her.

"Great!" Alpha Xerxes clapped his hands, he looked cheerful. "Bring her to the river! The night still long. It is not late to have the ceremony." He beamed with joy.
