Chapter 420: 420

420 A CAN OF WORMS

“I heard that you asked me to meet here from a guard.” Darius knew what the alpha wanted to talk about. “Is there something that you need from me?”

Darius knew that Liam must have been aware of the rumors about him and Jasmine. There was no way that kind of news didn’t reach him. But, he was too calm for someone who was aware of his mate being fucked by another man. Not to mention he was an alpha and this kind of response shouldn’t even be in his books.

“Yes, of course,” Liam said in a light tone. He stood right in front of Darius, who was sitting in the chair, his tall body asserting his dominance.

“How can I help you, alpha?” Darius asked, his eyes fixed on the alpha’s face, as he tried to keep his composure, because he was still trying to gauge the current situation. “May I know what this is about?”

Darius was ready to throw it in his face; the fact that he messed with his mate if that was his intention of calling him here, but he was worried about his lover and their child. This was not how he planned it. There wasn’t supposed to be a child between them.

“I think you have already guessed it.” Liam then walked across the room, giving some space for Darius by reducing the tension between them.

Darius followed him with his eyes as the alpha took a bottle of whiskey and poured it into two glasses with a ball of ice cube in each glass.

“There were a lot of things that happened recently, I am not sure which one you are talking about, Alpha,” Darius replied, he put his guard up, as Liam handed him one of the glasses.

“Drink,” Liam said in a commanding tone, but then, he continued with the conversation casually. “The one about your brother. I think that is the most crucial issue for you right now, is it not?” Liam tilted his head, as if he was scrutinizing him. “Or, is there another issue that is more important than the death of your little brother?”

.....

Darius chugged down his drink and then put the empty glass on the table. The bitterness lingered in his taste buds. “Should there be something more important than that?” he asked him again, his eyes steadfast on him.

“I don’t know, you tell me,” Liam said lightly.

For a moment, silence ensued in this room, as neither of them wanted to open this can of worms, as the result wouldn’t be so pretty.

There were many things that were untold between them during this brief silence, as they both realized what the real problem for them right now was.

And in the end, it was Darius, who finally broke the silence, as he spoke casually.

“What kind of punishment will you give him?” Darius chose this topic, because he didn’t want to talk about Jasmine. The entire plan had changed now because she was pregnant. He needed to protect his child. “Will you kill him?”

Liam sighed deeply. “It’s complicated.” Darius scoffed when he heard that. “You should understand that he is the beta of this pack. Without him, this pack will lack a beta and it will not be good.”

Darius knew where this conversation would go. “So, do you really think it is fine to lose a warrior, since there are so many in this pack?”

“Not so many, especially someone with skills like you,” Liam admitted that much, but his reply sounded like he was mocking him instead.

Liam sat down in the armchair, a little bit away from Darius, as the warrior still sat in the same spot.

“Your words don’t convince me, Alpha.” Darius shook his head and his eyes slightly darkened when he looked at Liam with so much unconcealed malice. “So, let me make things clear.” He stood up now and approached Liam.

“Go ahead,” Liam said, as he watched Darius stop walking right in front of him.

“Would you rather get rid of me instead of your beloved young beta?” Darius’ expression was devoid of any emotion at this moment. It was not clear what was in his mind right now, but one could say that he was ready to attack, as his claws elongated from the tips of his fingers.

Especially when Liam looked at Darius straight in the eyes and answered him. “Yes.”

And that was it. Darius had been holding back for so long and the hatred and resentment that he felt for the alpha was not something that he could bottle up any longer.

Liam had wronged him in every way possible and now he wanted to mess this up as well. He could die for all he cared for and not even have a chance to see his child, but he would make sure the alpha suffered for what he had done.

“FUCK YOU!”

And in the next second, Darius had shifted into his beast form and charged toward him.

On the other hand, Liam seemed to have seen this coming, because he was well prepared, as he drew out a gun from under his seat and pointed it at the beast, who rushed toward him and the next thing that happened was; a loud sound of gunfire echoed throughout this room.

Eros woke up with a start when someone shook his body. He was immediately alerted and looked around him with wary eyes. His sleepiness had long evaporated now.

“Colton?” Eros called him when he saw the gamma there. He looked at him with confusion and then looked at Emily who was still fast asleep next to him. “What is it?”

Eros could see the door behind Colton was wide open while there were no guards there.

“You can leave this room. You are free now,” Colton told him. “Take Emily and go back to your room.”
