Chapter 259: 259

259 YOU WILL NOT HURT ME

Nikolai led his team to move faster and more cautiously. Ahead of them, they could see the pack house, the biggest building in this area.

The path to reach that place was not easy. Though they had killed all the warrior shifters along the way, who were assigned to guard the border, it didn’t mean the danger was removed. The deeper they ventured into this pack, the more cautious they had to be.

The warriors along the border were indeed strong, but the closer they got to the alpha of the pack, the stronger the shifters they had to deal with were.

The alpha was the center of the power. There was no way they would let their alpha be harmed.

On the other hand, Jasmine was very quiet. She was not very active in giving instructions and instead let a team leader take the command, as she followed the rest.

If one looked closely at her, they would know how distraught she was right now. Unfortunately, all the members of the Hound and the Delta were too busy with killing as many shifters as they could to keep their own lives, as they would be the ones who would die tonight if they didn’t.

Jasmine gritted her teeth when she saw the pack house in front of her. Her heart was beating so fast and her palms turned very clammy. The way she killed the shifters that she chanced upon became more and more brutal.

She even stomped her feet on the dead shifters, or simply kicked their heads or any part of their dead bodies that came in her way, as she walked ahead.

Jasmine was venting out her emotions and her restlessness. She was not comfortable to meet Liam in her current situation.

.....

Meeting him again after five years, when she was killing the members of his pack was completely not an ideal reunion.

Jasmine could feel her head spinning. She shook her head a few times to regain her focus, until a man beside her asked how she was, since he could see Jasmine was not like her usual self.

“Are you okay, Commander?” he asked Jasmine, as he ran beside her.

No matter what, they needed to safeguard Jasmine. She was not only their commander, but also the daughter of Archie Williams, the founder of the Hound.

“Focus on the mission,” Jasmine hissed. She hated it when someone could see that her mind was not in the game when it should be.

The man nodded solemnly and then didn’t bother her anymore.

Right at that time, the loud sounds of a bell ringing three times echoed through the pack, which threw their silent operation into mayhem when all the shifters came out of their houses and rushed to the streets.

“Blow them all!” Jasmine commanded, as she watched a few women and children run toward the pack house, while the men started shifting into their beasts before attacking them.

It seemed, not all the people were in the pack house.

“Got it,” the men replied at the same time and it didn’t take a long time before a loud explosion could be heard.

Not only did it kill the male shifters, but their women and children as well. There was no rule for them to not kill the children of the non-human beings, as they would grow and become one of them too.

Therefore, their actions to kill them all, including the children, could be justified.

Nikolai saw a little boy, around the age of seven, and had his legs engulfed in flames while he was running toward a woman, who had died with burns on her back. He was crying, as he was in pain and trying to wake his mommy, but the woman didn’t budge. She was dead.

The sight was heart wrenching and the cries of the boy made Nikolai freeze in his spot with his rifle aimed at him. He was supposed to kill him right away, but he found himself unable to pull the trigger. It was hard.

He was just a little boy, crying for the loss of his mother.

But then, someone else pulled the trigger for him and the boy dropped to the ground, no longer crying, as the flamed on his short legs licked his body.

“Never show any hesitation again,” Jasmine berated Nikolai, as she killed another shifter, who survived the explosion. She looked heartless.

=====================

“You are not hurting me, I am fine,” Zuri said softly.

She was in disbelief that she was actually trying to talk very carefully to the creature that could hurt her with a snap of his finger, as if their roles were reversed and she was the bad guy here.

“Chaos... I am fine. You didn’t hurt me. Stop avoiding me, okay?” Zuri took a step closer to him, but he recoiled again, keeping a safe distance between them.

Now, he was staring at Zuri with visible pain in his eyes and her extended hand with cautiousness. It almost felt like she was trying to appease a scared animal, who would flee in the next second if she took a wrong step or move.

“You will not hurt me,” Zuri spoke to him, reassured him and then sat down on the ground with her arms wide open. “Come here.”

She was not sure if this was a great idea to use, but she ran out of ideas as to how to assure someone, who was able to kill you within a second, to not be afraid of you.

This was insane.

“You will not hurt me, Chaos.” Zuri repeated the words, as if it was a charm, since she didn’t know any other words of comfort to make him feel less guilty for slamming her against the wall.

Even now, Zuri had yet to pay attention to her surroundings, since her main focus was on Chaos. She didn’t dare to avert her gaze or let her attention get divided from him, in fear he would disappear. That was not a baseless fear, because she knew he could do that.

Zuri felt her arms getting numb, but she insisted on waiting until Chaos came to her instead.

That was what Chaos did to her during the few years they had this journey together. He waited until she got comfortable with his presence, his touch and his kisses.

And finally, eventually, Chaos relented. He moved an inch closer to her, but it was not enough for Zuri to reach him. It looked like he was miles away from her while she was tied to her place, unable to move, as she needed to wait for him to come to her instead of scaring him away.

Chaos looked at Zuri as if this was the first time he was looking at her, but there was something between them that drew the two of them closer.

And finally, Zuri could feel the tip of her finger touch his face, while his long, black hair cascaded down, caressing the backs of her hands. Zuri remained still.

In the end, Chaos let Zuri touch his face, as he moved closer and closer toward her, until he was resting his head on her shoulder. He breathed deeply, as he closed his eyes. He was at ease now, while Zuri’s free hand caressed his bare back.

Her soft touch soothed his restlessness.

“Chaos!” Zuri was surprised when Chaos pushed her to the ground and pressed her down. He essentially pinned her down; he didn’t put all of his weight on her, but it was enough to immobilize her.

At first, Zuri thought Chaos would do something more. She had seen how impulsive he could be when he was in this condition, when he didn’t look like himself, when he couldn’t compose himself, but her worse assumption turned out to be wrong when she found Chaos breathing deeply yet evenly.

He fell asleep.

=====================

Eros stood next to Liam when the latter was talking very loudly to the rest of the warriors in area twenty three. He assumed the position of the beta, on the alpha’s right side, oh so naturally. It was a bold move coming from a thirteen year boy, but no one seemed to protest that.

Not only them, even Liam only raised his brows slightly, but then he simply smirked, he liked the way Eros carried himself. He would be a better beta than Damon. He would make sure to polish him.

Area twenty three was a vacant space between the pack house and the houses that were occupied by those members, who didn’t live inside the pack house.

And now, this area was filled by the shifters, who were ready to have a battle against the humans, who were daring enough to come to their territory and kill their fellow warriors.

“SHIFT NOW!” Liam commanded loudly and simultaneously, all of the men there shifted into their beasts, growled and roared loudly into the night, as they turned around to attack the intruders.

Liam shifted into his beast, followed by his gamma and then Eros, who shifted into his black lycan and charged forward, as he ran next to the alpha.

Eros could still feel every joint of his body screaming in pain, since this was the first time for him to shift after the battle.

And once his bones cracked in place, expanding to adjust with his body shifting, he could feel the pain shooting through his body.

But, that was not the worst case.

Because Eros had not yet had his ceremony as the beta and he was not part of this pack, he couldn’t communicate with them through mind- link, he was in the dark now.
