Chapter 237

237 WE WILL LEAVE TONIGHT

They were gathered in a wide and large open space that seemed large enough to accommodate ten thousand people and half of this place was occupied.

So it was not really crowded, but younger people like them tended to flock together, especially those who were still teenagers.

Nikolai was listening to two of his new friends when one of them pointed to the rostrum and the commotion died down immediately.

“Look, that is our Commander, Commander Sol!” Mohan told them. He was a lanky eighteen years old teenager and had copper colored hair.

“Yes, and beside him is the second in command, Jasmine. They are siblings, you know?” Xo chimed in. He was the same age as Nikolai, seventeen years old and was shorter by a few inches than Nikolai, but his green eyes made him look like he was always sleepy.

“Yeah, I know. Jasmine has a twin sister named July, who betrayed the family and has a relationship with a non-human being,” Mohan said in disgust. His entire family died during the attack. He was the only survivor. “They should have crusaded her once they got their hands on her.”

However, neither Nikolai nor Xo responded to that and started to focus on the speech that Sol would give now instead, while Jasmine was standing slightly behind him.

Nikolai didn’t need to put all of his focus on this, because he knew more or less what he would say; it would not be far from getting rid of the non-human beings and how they were a threat for the entire human kind.

“Where are you going?” A red-haired woman lifted her head when she felt the alpha leave the bed. It was in the middle of the night and what they just did was tiring enough. She wanted to sleep while being held by the most respected man in this pack, but she didn’t believe her ears when she heard what he said next.

“Get out of my room,” Liam said coldly. He put his boxers on and walked toward the bathroom. “I don’t want to see you here when I come out of the bathroom,” he said sternly. He even used his Alpha’s voice when he gave the order, to emphasize how serious he was.

“What?” the woman was floored. The alpha spoke softly to her and even whispered sweet nothings during their intimate moment, but now he looked like someone else completely, as if what they had done before didn’t leave any trace of warmth.

Begrudgingly, the woman jumped out of the bed and then left the room. She stormed out after putting back her clothes on and cursed under her breath, low enough not to provoke Liam. No matter what, he was the alpha and what he said was a verdict here, even if he crazily wanted her head.

Only after Liam cleaned up himself and got rid of any traces of that woman’s scent that he came out of the bathroom.

But, of course, the room was filled with her scent, to be more precise it was a mixture of both of their scents and something sweeter, but disgusting for Liam.

The sight of the messy bed was enough to make Liam walk out of the room. It seemed, starting from now, he needed to separate his affairs and his personal space, since he didn’t want to sleep with another woman’s scent all over him.

She was not his mate and it drove him crazy because when he thought it was justified for him to do what he had done, since the bond between him and Jasmine had been severed, he still felt that it was not right.

He needed to vent out his frustrations and this was what he had done. He didn’t take pleasure in this and this feeling only got worse.

Out of instinct, his feet took Liam to his father’s bedroom. He had not visited him for a few weeks now, since he returned from the frozen lake.

“My son...” Xerxes called him in his rough voice. He looked grotesque with his charred skin and one of his eyes was closed completely because of the fire that melted his flesh.

“Father,” Liam greeted him politely and then walked to the small table next to his bed and took out a syringe from there.

“I took the injection a few hours ago, didn’t you know?” Xerxes grunted, complaining. What Liam had been doing to him was cruel. He didn’t let him die, but he didn’t let him heal either, as he kept injecting silver into his system, preventing him from healing from the burns.

“I like to take precautions father, you know that. Moreover, you look healthier and I don’t like it,” he murmured and injected Xerxes with more silver.

“Son of a b*tch!” he gritted his teeth when the pain and agony started all over again and he had to endure it helplessly. “Why don’t you kill me!” he roared. “Kill me!”

“Well father, Where’s the fun in it?” Liam smirked.

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

It was a misty and gloomy early morning when they put flowers on top of Anne’s final resting place. They gathered there and July hugged Lise, who was crying silently, while Knox and Gael were standing behind them.

The rest of the people and a few supernatural creatures that took shelter in the McKeltar manor were there too. They offered their condolences, while Nathen and Sebastian were standing in front of them.

They mourned for the loss of someone dear to them and this only made them realize how death was so close to them, that their time was too short.

Zuri was standing behind the crowd with Chaos next to her.

“We will leave tonight,” Chaos said to Zuri. They had talked about this journey and Zuri had agreed to follow him, which meant she would leave all of this behind.

She didn’t know whether she was sad or not.

“I have prepared everything.”
