Chapter 339: 339

339 YOUR MOTHER IS BEHIND THIS DOOR

[Just like how we mindlink each other and how you find your mate.]

Liam concluded his explanation as to how Ageha butterflies worked for them, as shifters. Though there were not many supernatural creatures that used this method, since this was a little bit ancient. Moreover, not many shifters knew about this nowadays.

After explaining that, Liam walked ahead, as Eros looked at his back with narrowed eyes.

Speaking of mates...

He still remembered what the white haired girl told him about Liam.

No, she was not any girl. He knew it with certainty that she was his mate. He could feel the same from the moment they met for the first time, though the spark was not there. But it was only a matter of time.

However, before that, Eros needed to find out what made her hold such a deep grudge against Liam. The way she looked at him was full of malice.

If looks could kill, Liam would have died a thousand deaths by now.

“What are you staring at?” Liam turned around and asked Eros, who was still standing at the same place. “Move.”

.....

Eros said nothing and just followed the alpha.

On the other hand, Liam seemed to be able to figure out what his beta was thinking about. It was not a difficult task, since what had unfolded earlier was pretty obvious.

Zuri was his mate and that fact was undeniable, thus seeing her filled with hatred toward him, was something that would bother him.

Yet, Liam would wait until he asked about this himself.

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

Fortunately, Vanesha was fine. She had been checked and taken care of. Apparently, the bullet that was shot at her had been smeared by some liquid that had the same effect as sedatives, but for now, she was fine.

She would wake up anytime soon.

“Do you want to see your mother?” River would be on alert every time someone entered the room. She would look like she wouldn’t hesitate to attack anyone around her, who was standing close enough to touch her.

Gael knew what his daughter had gone through in the facility from what Vanesha had reported back to him, but he didn’t know to what extent she was abused and how greatly it affected River, for her to be on her toes every time someone approached her.

“Vanesha will be fine, you saw it for yourself, right? How they are taking care of her.” Gael stopped trying to touch River because he didn’t want to make her uncomfortable anymore. He also learned to maintain some distance between them, because she didn’t like it when she was feeling crowded.

And this had a great impact, River was less tense when she was with him.

“I want to see my mother...” She had not yet called Gael father, even though he really wanted to hear it. But that could wait. They had all the time for themselves, just one step at a time.

“Okay, let’s go now?” Gael unlocked the door and held it open for her, instead of reaching out to her hand.

Gael’s hideout was a set of great tunnels under Lucinda city.

Before Lucinda city became the new capital city, replacing Fokosa city, one of his companies engaged in the construction sector had built giant culverts in the city of Lucinda, and because the city development project was indeed held by the McKeltar company, Gael was very familiar with the ins and outs of this city, whether it was on the surface or under the ground, like these secret culverts.

The two of them walked beside the streams of water that drowned out the sound of their footsteps.

River didn’t ask anything, she kept silent during this walk, while she followed the man that declared himself as her father. She watched the man’s back and couldn’t say whether she trusted his words or not about him being her father.

“Over here, you need to climb up from here,” Gael stepped aside after he opened the culvert lid above his head, since River wouldn’t be able to move it. “Don’t worry, we will meet with your mother soon. She has been waiting for you.”

River blinked her eyes, she looked at Gael and then the opened lid, as if she was deep in thought, and a moment later, she followed what he said and started to climb.

Gael remembered the first time he held River in his arms, his baby girl. She looked very small and fragile, her hands were only one- fifth the size of his hands.

He remembered that image vividly.

He remembered how that small hand with tiny fingers curled around his forefinger. She gripped his whole world in her little hands, just making a small gesture, and yet Gael had never felt something that amazing before.

He didn’t want to put her down, if he could, he wanted to hold her every second, staring at her sleeping face or the way she pouted her lips. She was so beautiful...

But right now, she had already grown up so much, she was no longer that fragile baby anymore, she was a girl now, a young girl.

How time flew by and this was only the second time Gael saw his daughter. He missed a ton of things while she grew up, so did Lise, as they had lost her for years.

But, what agonized Gael the most was the fact that how broken his daughter was. This wasn’t the way Gael wanted to see her. She was scared and would always be on alert.

She looked pale and sick, but her eyes showed determination and malice at anyone who tried to threaten her.

“Over here,” Gael said, as he led the way to a corridor that was made of glass, so the sunlight would enter and illuminate every dark corner of this place.

They were no longer inside the culverts and now it looked like a normal house.

“Your mother is behind this door.”
