Chapter 262
262 LONG TIME NO SEE, JASMINE
Mohan was not sure whether the bullet hit that damn creature or not, but he needed to check on it. Therefore, after confirming that the creature stayed crouching on the ground after the fall, he immediately rushed down the stairs to go to the other side of the house, to see the creature.
But, on his way down, he met Xo, who followed him there after he heard the sounds of a breaking window followed by a gunshot.
“Mohan, what is it? Are you okay?” Xo was gasping for breath when he approached Mohan. “We need to leave, the supernatural creatures took Commander Jasmine as a hostage, we need to leave now!”
Mohan stopped running and then turned around to face Xo, he wanted that to be a joke. They had come so far, there was no way they could back down now, especially when he found the lost precious experimental object for the facility.
And this just clicked to him.
“What did you say before?” Mohan spoke quickly. “They took the commander? Then who gave the order to retreat?”
“Yes, the Alpha of this pack got a hold of Commander Jasmine, so it is Nikolai, who gave the orders to retreat,” Xo replied. He was not as bright as Mohan or Nikolai, but the three of them were friends, since the first day of training.
“So, it is Nikolai,” Mohan repeated after him. It left a sour taste in his mouth when he heard that. He knew that Nikolai came above him in all aspects during their training days, even in the first mission up until now, he would be the leader of the team.
However, now Mohan had a chance to turn the tables and prove himself that he could be better than him. He was always down to a competition.
.....
“I know how to save the situation. Come, follow me!” Mohan rushed out of the house to find the lycan boy with Xo following behind him.
“But, Nikolai’s order...” he tried to protest, but Mohan was already gone. The young man didn’t want to wait for his friend’s reply.
=======================
Nikolai watched how their men were forced to back down when the alpha managed to get his hands on Commander Jasmine.
And now, the Alpha of this pack, Liam, was holding Commander Jasmine in front of them, with a gun pressed against her temple, demanding them to retreat from his territory and leave her behind.
Liam wore nothing, as he just shifted into his human form. Of course, only after someone from his pack injected Jasmine with a sedative. So, she couldn’t retaliate. She was awake, conscious enough to understand her current situation, but she didn’t have the energy to fight back.
Jasmine could even feel his hardness against her back, it gave her mixed feelings. She felt disgusted, humiliated even for being held captive by this primal creature, not to mention that it was kind of disrespectful for him to be excited in this kind of situation. But at the same time, Jasmine couldn’t deny that she felt the same, though this feeling was easy to get rid off. However, it didn’t erase the fact that the feeling was mutual.
With Jasmine being in front of Liam, it saved those people from seeing the alpha’s nakedness. However, for the shifters, it was not even an issue. It was their nature and there was nothing to be ashamed of.
“Take your people and back off,” Liam growled at those people before him. He looked at the young man, who still had his gun aimed at him. He was the alpha, thus he realized immediately that this young man was the leader of these disgusting people. At least, he was Jasmine’s second in command.
However, Nikolai didn’t obey the order immediately, he instead looked at his commander, trying to see whether she wanted to say something regarding this matter, or she had another plan in her mind for them to be able to get out of this situation.
But, as it seemed, the situation right now was up to him.
“Put your guns down and walk away from my territory, or else, I will kill her.” Liam extended his claws, so they grazed against Jasmine’s neck, which made her wince in pain as blood oozed out of the wounds.
If it was five years ago, he wouldn’t have the heart to hurt her like this, but seeing the first thing that she had done to his pack in their first meeting after all this time... the dead bodies of those children. The children of his pack... he was willing to go extra miles for that alone.
If he thought Jasmine didn’t have any value anymore, he would have killed her and eradicated those filthy people before his eyes.
But, she held value. She was still useful if she was alive.
“If you kill her, we will kill all of your kind,” Nikolai warned him, but the Alpha laughed at his attempt to threaten him.
“Do you really think you can do that, boy?” Liam tilted his head, he smirked at Nikolai.
And then, through the mind- link, he simply ordered one of the beasts to let this young boy know that he didn’t have any chance to prove his words.
With the order, without a second thought, one of the beasts jumped to the nearest member of the Hound and ripped his chest, then tore his limbs apart.
A shrill scream erupted in the air, but then it went silent. At least, that was a quick death.
“We can do that the whole night, but in the end, you will lose all of your men and you will not get your commander back.” Liam raised his finger that was coated with Jasmine’s blood and licked it. Her blood tasted good and for a moment, he was intoxicated by her scent. He forgot how there was a time he used to long for this scent. “Take your chance and leave.”
On the other hand, Nikolai gritted his teeth. He had to save his men, but he couldn’t leave his commander behind, yet if he insisted on fighting, the outcome was not something that they looked for.
Therefore, he chose to go by the rules.
“Retreat,” Nikolai issued the order grimly. This was a tough situation, but the rules said clearly that if the Commander was not in the condition to issue the order, the leadership would fall into the second in command, which was him.
Liam smirked viciously when he heard that, his eyes even glimmered under the light of the moon. Something evil flashed in his eyes when he saw how they retreated. It was great. Those filthy people got lost from his land; he had the woman in his possession.
“Long time no see, Jasmine,” he whispered viciously to his mate. “I didn’t expect that you would deliver yourself to my arms like this.”
Jasmine could feel shivers run down her spine when she heard the way Liam spoke. She knew danger and this was one of those occurrences.
“You will look forward to the days we will spend together, I promise you.” Liam kissed her neck.
========================
Zuri woke up when she felt something warm and wet touch her face. She frowned and thought it was only a dream, but then this thing didn’t stop assaulting her, which in turn forced her to realize that it was not a dream.
The moment she woke up, she was greeted by a small wolf staring down at her.
“What?!” Zuri screamed and then scrambled away, while the small wolf blinked its eyes and wriggled its bushy tail. This animal had the same fur color as her, white.
Zuri gasped for air, her head was aching because she woke up with a start, but when she wiped her face roughly, she could feel her cheek was wet.
“Ugh, gross,” she complained lightly, but then her focus shifted back to the little white wolf. She knew immediately that it was a wolf, because she was a wolf herself, but this one was not a shifter, she was sure about that. “What is it? Are you lost?”
Zuri stretched out her hand and the little wolf happily dragged her small butt toward her and then sat on her lap.
Probably because Zuri could be said as a wolf too, this little creature didn’t feel any fear of her and immediately got comfortable with her.
“You should be with your pack,” Zuri murmured and then took the wolf in her arms, as she stood up and looked around her. Chaos was nowhere to be seen, but his scent still lingered in the air. He was not far.
Following his scent, Zuri walked out of this building and only now did she realize that the building she thought was an abandoned house with a broken ceiling was actually a castle.
It was huge to say the least, but Zuri managed to find Chaos within a few minutes.
The man was standing in front of an intricate statue in the middle of a big pond, but she was not sure what kind of statue it was, but Zuri was sure it was a beautiful fountain decades ago.
“How are you feeling?” That was the first question that she asked him when she approached. She was stopped right beside Chaos, with the wolf in her arms.
Chaos glanced at the little creature in her arms and didn’t look impressed. “What is that?”
“A wolf,” Zuri replied in a matter of fact tone, lifting it up to his face.
“Throw it away.”
And the wolf growled at Chaos for what he said.
