Chapter 153 - REPULSION (2)

Zuri felt nothing, her body moved on its own as if she it has mind on its own, she walked toward Emmet's shirt that was on the other side of the hut and put it on her body.

The repulsive scent of his body engulfed her, as her eyes flashed with malice. Her options were limited, either endured his scent or walked naked.

The shirt covered most part of her body as it fell to her mid thigh and when Zuri looked down she had this urged to tear it to pieces, as if the mere fabric had done horrible thing to her. She had this urge to scour her skin, so she could clean herself from any traces of Emmet on her body.

However, the truth was; no matter what she did, the memory of last night would forever engrave on her mind. She wouldn't be able to erase it unless she ceased to nothingness.

Zuri stood silently in this rickety hut, let the warm sunlight bathed her body and illuminated this dirty and foul place.

After a moment of silence, her mind started to kick in when he heard a rustle noise from the sleeping Emmet. He looked peaceful in his sleep, as if he had done an incredible thing.

And that peaceful expression seemed not right.

How could he so peaceful when she couldn't find her peace even in this beautiful morning, with birds were chirping from nearby branches, fluttered their tiny and fragile wings, sounded so happy and alive, and the only thing that Zuri wanted was to kill such serenity.

Zuri turned around and her eyes found a crumple of fabric near her feet. She knelt down and took something from inside Emmet's pants, it was a silver powder that he always used whenever he was battle training with the other shifters.

He was such a coward, he was so weak, but his pride was bigger than his guts. He used to cheat on every fighting whenever he faced a stronger shifter. He would put a tiny bit of powder to his opponent and leave them so weak to fight him back.

Not many people knew about this and those, who was aware about this shameless act, chose to shut their mouth for not wanting any trouble against the future alpha.

Zuri took a small bottle to her hand and walked toward Emmet, who was still sleeping. See? He was so stupid to let his guard down like this.

What he expected after what he had done to Zuri last night? Would he anticipate to see a beautiful smile grazed her lips to wake him up? Or a naked and helpless girl that he could mock for submitting herself, succumbed to her desire when the heat hit her?

Zuri still could feel the pain on her neck, her mark from this nasty creature, and it would leave her in pain for as long as she didn't want it. The mark was forced to her and it would pain her forever until she accepted it, which meant she would feel the pain for as long as she was breathing.

Zuri knelt down beside Emmet's head, she stared down on him, while opening the bottle in her hand. She clutched Emmet's jaw, as the man stirred awake, but it was too late to avoid the danger that came to him from the powder that was poured down to his open mouth.

A tiny bit powder in the shifters' system, could make them lost their concentration, added more and they would be paralyze, but if you pouring down a bottle of it…

Zuri wanted to know what would happen…

There was no hesitation in her hazel eyes when she did that, she poured down the whole bottle and tossed the empty bottle across the room, as she clamped Emmet's mouth with her palm, preventing him from spitting the powder.

Emmet thrashed his body around, trying to free himself from Zuri's hand, but the powder worked so fast, as he lost his strength quickly.

Once Emmet was no longer fighting her and the only thing he could do was staring at her with horror in his eyes, Zuri retracted her hand and looked down at him.

"What… are… you doing?" Emmet asked, his breathing ragged, as though the air failed to enter his lungs, blood started oozing out of his ears. "You… poisoned me?"

However, Zuri said nothing, she stared at Emmet's eyes blankly. She didn't know what she felt. There was no pity, there was no anger, there was nothing…

She felt so numb.

"Call someone… help…" Emmet's fear was so clear, he didn't know what to do in this situation. He needed to do something if he wanted to live, but he could feel his hands and legs, and seeing how Zuri stared at him didn't make him better. "Don't do this… father will kill… you."

'Father will kill you.'

Alpha Xerxes will kill me.

The taste of those words registered slowly in Zuri's mind and she started laughing. Her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. She hugged her tummy, as she bent her body forward and laughed again like a maniac.

The words sounded so funny in her ears and no matter how many times she repeated in her head, it made her laughter sounded merrier.

On the other hand, Emmet gasped for air, he felt his lungs were burning and watching Zuri turned crazy made everything more ghastly in his eyes.

What was so funny? Why she was laughing? Did she finally loss her mind?

"Zuri… call… healer," Emmet said with difficulty, the air was precious for him, but she was the only hope that he had. His crazy mate…

Hearing that, Zuri stopped laughing all of sudden and the silence that entailed after that was so terrifying.

Zuri stood up and took the bottle that she had tossed and went back to Emmet's side, as she stuffed it to his mouth.
