Chapter 247
247 SHE IS A PERFECTION
Roars and screams that filled the arena shook the ground when all of the onlookers stomped their feet at the same time, welcoming the two fighters of Atbikai into the arena.
Both of them wore white and didn’t look like a perfect match at all.
At a glance, they would know that Damon was shaped by the countless battles that he had survived, having gotten to his position by killing so many shifters and humans alike during his assignments. Especially when Alpha Xerxes was still in command, they literally hounded humans; this was the root of why he always looked like he was about to bite Emily’s head off. Old habits die hard.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Eros looked so young. His body was built for someone around his age, but of course it paled in comparison to the beta’s.
Yet, there was something in him that made all the people there not dare enough to pick a fight with him. He had this dangerous aura around him, as if a strong alpha’s blood ran through his veins.
In a few years, this young lycan could overshadow Liam easily, yet the alpha didn’t seem to care about that, since he had a long term plan in his vicious mind.
Liam stood in the middle of the arena, between Eros and Damon. He said a few rules pertaining to this challenge, which were very compact and simple.
The victor would be the one who was still breathing at the end of the fight, which meant they had to fight until one of them died. There were no rules for the fighting itself. They could do anything to their opponent.
“Both of you are ready?!” Liam said, his voice boomed with authority and all the noises died down immediately when the fight was about to start.
.....
Liam raised his fingers, which were pinching a white handkerchief, ready to let it go. Once the white handkerchief touched the ground, they were allowed to kill each other and the arena exploded with screams and roars. They enjoyed this type of show.
Watching people kill each other entertained them. They threw profanities and many more insulting words at the party that they opposed, but most of them supported the beta in this fight.
There was no way a thirteen year old boy would win this fight.
Excitement and adrenaline filled the tense atmosphere.
On the other hand, the first thing that Emily noticed when she entered the stadium were those people, who were sitting on the benches, screaming loudly, chanting Damon’s name over and over again. The noise kept getting louder and louder, as more people arrived and joined in.
There were thousands of people, cramming their way to available seats. It felt like almost every single member of the pack was there.
The stadium had loads of smells. You could smell the cold winter breeze. The aromas from different foods were so strong you could actually taste them in your mouth. There was also the stench of old warm beer that had been spilled time and again and also the excited shifters that did not want to miss a single minute of the game.
The light coming from the gigantic floodlights was blinding. It shone down on the field, and made everything look so bright, and dazzling. The lights were set on massive metallic structures, which held them high above the stadium; they could be seen from miles away as they lit up the night sky.
There had never been such an event as big as this one before this.
Meanwhile, Emily was sitting on a seat next to the alpha, as this place was the most spacious space compared to the tribune beneath them.
Her heart started thumping wildly when the fight started. Her palms were sweaty and she couldn’t sit still. She stood in front of the railing, the closest place where she could watch the fight in the field before her.
At first, the two of them just circled each other, while Damon was seen talking, provoking Eros to attack him first. Taunting and laughing, he mocked Eros with words that Emily couldn’t hear.
The people around her were too noisy, she could barely hear them saying anything.
However, Eros knew better than letting his emotions get the better of him. He was calm, but deathly. He was collected, but he could attack precisely.
However, more importantly, he knew he needed to wait for the perfect moment. Damon was not his training partner and he couldn’t yield when the fight didn’t favor him. This was a matter of life and death.
“Let’s sit down sweetheart,” Liam said to Emily when she was too anxious to even realize that he was now standing right behind her after coming back from the field.
Emily flinched because she was surprised by the sudden voice just above her head and Liam laughed at her when she did that.
“There was nothing to be scared off,” he said. “Come, sit next to me.” His voice was so calm, as if at the end of this battle, he would not be the one to lose either his beta or the young lycan that he favored. He looked so relaxed for something so big like this.
“No, I want to stand here, Alpha,” Emily said in a low voice. She didn’t dare to put her attention elsewhere when her brother was down there, fighting for his life, her life.
Emily felt if she averted her gaze, she would lose her brother forever.
“Don’t worry, he will be fine.” Liam put his hand on her shoulder, as he joined her in watching the fight from where they were standing right now.
On the other hand, Emily didn’t think much about his words. She just wanted Eros to be with her again. Alive.
======================
“No, July,” Knox said when July kept initiating intimacy with him. He didn’t reject her because he didn’t want to be with her or have this special connection with the woman that he loved.
But, he knew her intention and Knox couldn’t fulfill her desire.
July wanted a baby with him. She wanted to carry their child, which meant she would create another life from the shattered soul of Chaos. In any way, it was not acceptable.
Out there, Chaos was ending the life of his shattered souls one by one and here, they were supposed to create a new one?
Knox’s soul was tainted. He was not pure by any means and just like Chaos, every part of his soul was obnoxious, an abomination, a disaster.
July rolled her body and then got off of the bed. She snatched her cloak angrily and then went out to the balcony. Her body trembled with anger when she heard the rejection. It hurt her pride and feelings.
She had been insecure with her body that was aging every passing day and now Knox’s rejection felt like an insult to her, though she knew the true reason behind it and that she was just overreacting right now.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
July knew that Knox would follow her, she could hear his footsteps approaching her before his warm hands landed on her hips, pulling her closer against his chest.
“Just this one, I can’t give you this one,” Knox said in a low and regretful tone. “There is no way I can have a child with you. Or anyone.” Because eventually, Chaos would kill the baby.
Yet, Knox didn’t say the last words out loud, since July was firm with her opinion; Chaos let Knox live, so he would let their baby live the way he did to Knox.
However, the issue was not as simple as that.
“You don’t understand!” July cried out. She shoved Knox away from her and then glared at the man. Her eyes were filled with tears and she was deeply hurt.
“I do understand,” Knox said in the most gentle tone.
“I WANT A FAMILY!” July roared out of frustration. She thought she didn’t want it that much, but the truth was; she couldn’t let go of the image of Anne, who died alone and forgotten.
Anne was an embodiment of loneliness and regret, and July was scared that she would end up like her. But, Knox couldn’t understand the complexity of her mind and her fears.
“Am I just not enough for you?” Knox asked. His voice was so serene, but July could hear that she had hurt him as well.
“I don’t want to die alone,” July sobbed, her voice was carried out by the wind and she was not able to say more than this.
This time, she let Knox hold her in his arms, caressing her back in soothing circles, yet it was not enough. Her fears built up day by day and the thought that she would age soon, horrified her. She couldn’t live like this.
“You will not die alone, I will be with you.” I will die with you.
Knox held July tightly in his arms, as he stared into the distance. This manor had provided safety and security for humans like July, but out there, beyond the walls of the manor, was a cruel world that one couldn’t imagine.
=====================
Chaos gripped a handful of Zuri’s hair, drew her head back, as he saw the epitome of perfection before his eyes. His gaze heated when he heard how Zuri gasped softly for air.
She was perfect.
Zuri was sitting on the counter top now, leaning into his arms, as Chaos was trying to make her comfortable, as he depicted the vulnerability of someone so strong and powerful handling something so delicate, trying their best to be careful and kind.
