“Where is Eros?” Liam asked Ariana, who was tending to the other three young men there. They were injured, but not to the extent that their lives were in danger.
The alpha looked worried to say the least, he really thought that something happened to Eros, because of whatever this stupid fight was.
“He is next to this room, my mate is trying to calm him down,” Ariana replied to the alpha.
The healer was still surprised to see what happened back then when she heard the commotion inside the room next to the infirmary room and found out there were five bests that were fighting brutally.
It was brutal, very brutal and gruesome. Ariana didn’t think she would be able to forget what she had seen.
The black beast was going feral, the beast bit down one of the beast and wouldn’t let him go, even though blood had covered the whole room and the smell of it was very strong.
Ariana was stunned to see how brutal Eros could be when he was tipped off.
At that time, Emily was with her, but even her voice couldn’t reach Eros when he was in that state. Ariana needed to hold back the little girl when she tried to walk into the room and stop Eros from killing his fellow shifters. Emily could be killed accidentally if she came closer to the angry lycan.
Eros was not in a state where he could realize his surroundings. Perhaps, he wouldn’t even recognize Emily at that time and that was very dangerous.
.....
Fortunately, Josh returned with three guards and the gamma to stop the fight.
Even so, it took a lot of effort from all the shifters involved to be able to separate Eros from Derek, but by the time they managed to do that, it was too late for Derek to be saved. He was already gone. The young warrior had died.
He was brutally attacked by Eros and the other three shifters couldn’t even help him, as he met his demise.
It was sad to see Derek’s body’s current condition, but Ariana managed to help, so he could look decent.
On the other hand, after Liam heard about Eros’ whereabouts, he immediately left the room and rushed to the next room that Ariana had told him about. He nodded to the healer and walked out of the room, only to run into Darius, whose face had turned red.
The warrior didn’t even notice that he had run into the alpha and didn’t even lower his head to greet him, but for Liam, that was not a big deal, because he knew who the young boy was.
Therefore, Liam chose to stay a little bit longer there to see how Darius handled the news about the death of his brother.
Darius looked pale and his eyes looked distant when he opened the door and his eyes fixed to the dead body on the bed.
“What happened to my brother?” he asked this question, but more like talking to himself, since he didn’t ask someone in particular.
Darius repeated the same question for the third time before he stopped and he balled his fists until his knuckles turned white.
He walked toward the bed and the room became eerily silent, as if they were mourning the loss of Darius’ younger brother. Not only was he his younger brother, but he was also the only family that he had. The only one that was left after both of their parents died.
And once reality hit him so hard, Darius let out a heart- wrenching roar. It was so loud and could shake you to the core to hear how he wailed upon the death of his brother.
Darius fell to the floor and pounded his fists into it. He looked like an injured animal and it was hard to comprehend the emotional breakdown that Darius was going through right now.
The room had turned into a mourning room and one could feel the sadness that emanated from Darius’ whole being for losing the only family that he had.
However, outside of the room, staring through the window, Liam had his arms crossed his chest as he smirked. He loved to see Darius suffer like that.
He loved to hear how devastated he was. He should know that his mournful days just began.
Liam then scoffed and then walked to the next room, to check on Eros because he was way more important than Darius’ breakdown.
The man looked vulnerable and was in a lot of agony, but Liam liked to see him like that.
The alpha, of course, knew about the affair between Darius and Jasmine, but he kept quiet, because he didn’t want anyone to know that he already knew. He wanted to see who would tell him first about that disgusting act.
=========================
Emily was standing a little bit further away from Eros, who had a blanket wrapped around his body. He was still shaking all over and his eyes were still the color of dark.
“Eros...” Emily called him worriedly. She stood in her place, not daring to approach Eros, because it was dangerous for her.
“Don’t come closer, Emily.” The gamma stood next to Eros, he and the other five guards, finally managed to subdue Eros, but they were too late to save the other young boy, who became the victim of Eros’ brutality.
“But, is he all right?” Emily asked. She was worried because Eros didn’t say anything. He was forced to shift back into his beast because the gamma managed to put a device that was invented by the human organization to force a shifter back to their human’s side, their weakest form.
“Yes, he is all right. He will be alright, but you need to stand where you are right now and don’t make any attempt to come closer.” The gamma warned her because he didn’t know the mental state of this young lycan and he didn’t want to take any risks.
Not long after that, the alpha entered the room, he skimmed briefly until his eyes fell on Eros’ shaking body, he was holding the blanket that covered his nudity so tightly, as if he was fighting a battle within himself.
“How is he?” the alpha immediately asked the gamma about the situation here and the gamma briefed him about it.
On the other hand, Emily didn’t care much about hearing what was happening until she heard her name being said in the report from the gamma.
Emily tilted her head and managed to catch the rest of the conversation that cleared the reason why the fight happened in the first place and according to what the gamma said, it seemed, the fight happened because of her...
=====================
Jasmine had to wait for another hour before finally Ariana came to her room to check on her. She looked exhausted and there was blood on her dress.
“Is it that bad?” Jasmine asked the healer. They were not particularly close, but she was one of the few people that she could talk to.
Ariana raised her brows, she was taking her pulse and ran a few checks, before she said she would draw her blood.
“Yes. Terrible.” Ariana nodded, but she didn’t want to talk about that, because it would remind her over and over of the gruesome scene that she had to witness earlier.
“How terrible?” Jasmine kept asking because she wanted to know. From Liam’s reaction earlier, it sounded so awful, that was why she was so curious right now. “Someone died?”
Ariana was stiffened when she heard that, because she didn’t think that Jasmine would get it right in her first attempt.
On the other hand, Jasmine was just blurting out nonsense to get more information out of Jasmine’s mouth.
She would have never thought that her guess was right and she could see it on Ariana’s face. She was a horrible liar.
“Who is dead?” Jasmine asked out of curiosity. She could see that Ariana became uncomfortable, until she failed in her first attempt to find a vein on Jasmine’s hand to draw her blood. “Who died?” Jasmine insisted on knowing and she wouldn’t stop until she got the answer that she wanted.
“Derek,” Ariana finally said. She didn’t want to be bothered by her whining about it when she had to draw her blood. It would make her lose her concentration.
“Derek?” Jasmine frowned. She felt the name sounded familiar to her ears. “I felt like I had heard that name somewhere.”
Ariana didn’t want to inform her about this, thus she kept silent, but then Jasmine gasped loudly, as if she remembered from where she heard that name.
“That’s the man who bullied Emily, right?” Jasmine asked for confirmation.
Finally, Ariana relented and nodded. “Yes, and also the younger brother of Darius.” She lifted her head to look at Jasmine’s face.
Of course, she knew about the affair that was going on between her and the warrior, since her mate knew about it after he confronted Darius in person.
“Darius has a young brother?” Jasmine just knew about this.
“Yes, his younger brother was killed during the fight with the young lycan,” Ariana elaborated a little bit, but then she sighed deeply and looked at Jasmine sternly. “We need to run another check on you,” she said in a weird tone.
“Fine, go ahead.” Jasmine did not really care. She had been checking on her, why did she need permission now?
“I need you to take a pregnancy test,” Ariana said in a toneless voice and watched the change in her expression.
