Chapter 140: BLOODY NIGHT (6)

"Kill her." And Alpha Xerxes decided to take one step ahead, as he ordered the two guards from earlier to kill Meredith right in front of them. This was only a game for Alpha Xerxes, who had been through so much to know how to play it.

Therefore, he felt like he needed to show the young fierce girl before his eyes how to play it…

"NO!" Emmet jumped to his feeth and bared his fangs at the two guards, who were ready to approach his mate. His instinct kicked in. No matter how harsh he was, he was not going to let someone touch his mate, let alone to kill her.

Meanwhile, Meredith was crying, her whole body was trembling, she was holding onto Emmet's trouseur for dear life, turning her head left and right, afraid that one of those people would start to jump on her and butchered her like what they did to Mateo.

"FATHER! YOU PROMISED ME!" Emmet yelled at his father desperately, he was trying to make this right and saved the situation. No, he wanted to save his mate, since he knew that his father wouldn't kill him.

However, to threaten his life like Blue was doing, it was out an option. He didn't want to go that far…

Alpha Xerxes raised his hand and the two guards stopped approaching them.

"Put down your onlace and accept the ceremony, or I will kill her right before your eyes." Alpha Xerxes was talking to Blue, his eyes fixed on her and he could see how much hatred that she held against him. Great. Hate was a good reason to stay alive.

"Zuri…" Emmet turned around, he only managed to call her name, but this was the first time that he pleaded to her. "Don't do it." He clenched his fists beside his body and followed Blue's line of sight, which fell on Meredith.

The girl was only friend that she had, she always treated her nicely and one of two people that she acknowledge from her former uncle's pack, aside from Mateo.

And now Blue had lost Mateo, she didn't feel it was right to put her on the same fate like him.

"Zuri, please…" Meredith spoke to her silently, but Blue could read the way her lips quivered. "I am afraid…"

I am afraid…

The words echoed in her mind.

I am afraid too, said a tiny part of herself. She was afraid, but she had no one to help her.

"Liam, take her weapon." Alpha Xerxes could see the hesitation in her eyes and that was enough for him to know that he had won the battle.

Therefore, he needed to take an action before Blue had made up her mind and created another decision. The decision that would make both of them loss.

Liam looked hesitated when he approached her, as he dropped to his knees and grabbed her hand, that was pointing the sharp edge of the onlace against her neck.

"Let me take this, Zuri," Liam said, he was so close to her, thus it was possible for him to talk to her without anyone was able to listen. "You need to survive to avenge your lost."

He knew that what his father had done was too far, but in this kind of situation and her position right now, there was no way she could fight him.

"You need to live to avenge him. It will be your lost if you died tonight. Mateo's death will be a waste." Liam gritted his teeth when he said that, as he tried to take the onlace from Blue.

He didn't want to force her to give up the weapon, because any seconds, she could have change of mind and it would be a backlash for Liam, when she decided to not care about what he was saying.

However, though it was hard, Blue finally gave in. She loosened her grip on the hilt of the onlace and Liam took it away, stored it in his pocket, so it would be safe with him.

"Great!" Alpha Xerxes clapped his hands and everyone in the crowd visibly relaxed a bit, as the tension dropped down. "Now, we can proceed with the ceremony!" he announced it joyfully.

Liam threw his father a disgusting glare that was only lasted for a moment, before he helped Blue to stand up. That was the first time for Liam to throw him such a look openly, because most of the time, he would ridiculously obey his father and brother.

"Come on, stand up, Zuri…" Liam whispered to her. "Your battle is just began."

Blue didn't know what he meant by that, but the only thing that kept repeating in her mind was the opportunity for her to be able to turn the situation one day.

Hatred and anger were the only things that drove her mind to be able to move her body.

She hated this pack and everyone in it, but the most important part was; she hated Xerxes. If he really eagered to put her as the luna, then she needed to show him how she would rule his pack.

One day. One day he would see the mistake of his obsession toward her.

Liam took her to Emmet, who was giving her a look that was hard to decipher, but then he looked at Meredith and nodded at her, as he helped her to stand up.

It was almost unbelievable to see how capable Emmet was to treat his mate with such gentleness, he completely like another person in front of Meredith.

"I am sorry." That was the only words that he could say for her and that was for everything. He was sorry because he couldn't protect her and make her his mate.

"I understood," Meredith replied through her sobs. She lowered her head and let Emmet to kiss her forehead before he took Blue's hand and they proceeded with the ceremony.
