Chapter 343: 343

343 A SIMPLE NOTE

July and Sebastian ended up traveling in two different cars. Ciara, the witch, was in the same car as July and another shifter named Mark. While in the second car, were Sebastian and the other two shifters.

“I can feel something is wrong with you,” Ciara said, as she glanced at July, who insisted on driving. She needed to do something and take her mind off of the thing that had happened between her and Sebastian.

Needless to say, July was extremely guilty about this whole thing, even though she completely knew that she was not at fault. Sebastian caught her off guard and there was no way she could imagine him doing that.

Perhaps, in the mildest of possibilities, she was aware that Sebastian had caught feelings for her, but it was impossible for him to make a move when he knew that July was with Knox, when he knew how much she loved him. He was there every time she broke down, crying for missing him, even when years had passed. She was still in disbelief that Sebastian could do such a thing.

No matter what July did, she couldn’t get rid of the taste of his lips on hers, she felt like she cheated on Knox right now and this feeling kept gnawing at her mind.

“Nothing,” July replied curtly, she kept her eyes on the road and tried not to think about that, albeit it was hard as Ciara wouldn’t stop looking at her suspiciously.

“Nothing can mean anything,” she stated and this made July glance at her sharply.

“You can keep your opinion to yourself, I don’t need that,” she said a little bit harshly, even Mark could feel the tension in the air. He was slightly confused, but remained silent in the backseat. “Focus on your job.”

Ciara’s expression turned ashen when she heard that, but she didn’t say anything more, as she focused on trying to get them through the East Draghar’s border safely, without anyone succeeding in stopping them.

.....

Right, that was what Ciara did. She didn’t make them go invisible or anything, but she succeeded in making all of the police patrol there ignore them, so they could enter smoothly.

For that to work, the two cars needed to be close to each other, so it would be easier for the witch to concentrate on her task, so she had to put her suspicious feelings about July aside. For now.

“Once we reach East Draghar, do you know how to find Knox?” Mark asked July. This country was so big and even though they had a strong hunch that Knox could be in the same city as where this monstrous dragon appeared, still, it wouldn’t be an easy quest.

“We will see when we get there,” July said after contemplating for a moment. She herself didn’t know how to find Knox, but she would go there nonetheless.

Since the dragon and Chaos would be there, that could lead them to Knox’s whereabouts.

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

Jasmine stretched out her body lazily, as she extended her hand and found the space beside her empty, where Darius was supposed to be, but the bed on his side was vacant.

She opened her eyes sleepily and couldn’t find him there, he was gone. Of course, he was gone, his shift must have ended and all she could do was wait for his shift to guard her again before she could go to the library where they could have their secret meeting.

However, when Jasmine turned her body to the other side, her eyes caught a tray full of food with a note on the bedside table.

She immediately sat down and took the note. It was a simple good morning and ‘hope you have a good day’ note, there was nothing glorious about this, but Jasmine found herself smiling at this warm gesture.

Liam used to do this while they were still together in the past, he treated her well in the early stages of their relationship, before Chaos wreaked havoc and turned this world into a wreck.

Jasmine knew from the very beginning that their relationship wouldn’t work well, since they were standing on the different sides of the bridge, but her impulsiveness and the fun that she got from being with him clouded her mind.

After all, living her life with high expectations and her craving to get her father’s approval, left her with nothing, but obsession and ambition. There was no fun in her life until Liam came around.

Their separation was amicable, to say the least, yet, everything took a bad turn when they finally met again.

And here she was, boring children for him and living a life that would never have crossed her mind at all, and to make things complicated, sleeping with another shifter and manipulating him in order to survive. Or probably, at this rate, she just did it to spite Liam, since she knew the consequences of her actions if the alpha returned safe and sound and did not die out there.

She was really living a lowly life now and this made her want to laugh. What kind of joke her life had turned out to be...

But, this simple note from Darius brought back the warmth that she had felt in the past, a simple happiness that she found in the arms of her mate, but now she found it in another man.

Liam would kill Darius and probably also her, or she would get the most dreadful punishment, if he found out about this affair, yet Jasmine looked forward to see his expression when he realized how she humiliated him in retaliation to how he had humiliated her when he fucked her in front of his warriors.

Jasmine took the note and folded it carefully before she put it in a small box in the drawer. Liam didn’t have a reason to go through her things, since she owned nothing valuable.

After that, Jasmine happily ate her breakfast and enjoyed her time, while rain continued to pour down outside of this room.

If Darius was here... Jasmine imagined he would wrap his arms around her body to keep her warm, the same way his simple note brought a warm smile to her lips.

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

Gael entered the room, the lights were off, but he could perfectly see his wife and daughter, sleeping together, as River curled her body beside Lise, as if she was a little child again, but then she would always be a little child for the two of them.

Gael walked across the room and put a blanket on River carefully, as he leaned over to kiss her temple, then Lise. He was beyond relieved that he could finally bring their daughter back home, to fulfill Lise’s wish.

“Gael,” Lise called his name when he turned around to leave the two of them alone, but her small voice made him halt and turn back to face her.

“Yes? What happened? Do you need something?” Gael was ready to get anything for her.

Lise looked hesitant when she was about to speak again, she bit her lips whenever she was conflicted, thus Gael dropped to his knees beside the bed and waited for her to speak, he held her hand to assure her that she could tell him anything.

Gael was not the monster that he used to be in the past, he had gone through so much loss and now he had to prepare himself to go through another hell if their time together came to end...

“I want to go to the beach...” Lise said in a small voice. “Is it possible?”

Lise and River had talked so much about many things during the day and one thing that they really wanted to do together was to go to the beach, because that was what Lise promised her when she was little.

And the fact that River had not ever stepped out of her small room, where they restrained her for years and ran various experiments on her since she was caught, really broke Lise’s heart.

She couldn’t imagine what her daughter had gone through there and knowing that Sol was involved in most of the experiments made her even more disconsolate.

Lise didn’t hold a grudge against Sol at all, there was a time when the two of them were best friends and she knew that the feelings between them were mutual, but Lise had grown out of them and that young love wouldn’t live forever.

However, even so, how could he treat his daughter like a guinea pig? She didn’t want to say it out right, but she felt bad Gael didn’t manage to kill him when he took their daughter away from that hell.

“Do you want to go to the beach?” Gael reiterated her request.

Lise nodded. “River had never been to one before,” she explained briefly about how she had never been allowed to be out in the open area for years. “But if this is too much...” In spite of her desire to have this trip together, she knew their situation very well, she didn’t want to put Gael in danger.

“No, let’s go... I will arrange everything and let you know,” Gael said softly. He looked at his daughter lovingly and thought a family trip would be great. This would be the first family trip for the three of them. “Is there anything you want?”

Lise shook her head, but then she spoke softly. “Can you sleep with us?” she asked, because having Gael there made her feel more comfortable.

It was a tiring day and yes, maybe it was a little bit awkward because River was not a little child anymore, but they had never slept together before.

“Sure,” Gael said. The bed was big enough for three people.
