Chapter 440

440 A CLEAR BOUNDARY

If Darius thought his poor acting and his lame excuse could make July believed him, he was completely wrong about that. Who the hell he thought he was speaking to?

July had gone through hell, so did Jasmine, they were only in different definition, there was no one from this family, who didn’t break, bruise, feeling like they were going to die at this point. They had gone through all of that, including Sol as well.

Therefore, it was a wrong move for Darius to expect July to buy his bullshit.

“She is the luna of the pack, I am just trying to tell you that she has been treated poorly by the alpha.” He tried so hard to make them moved. With the power of the McKeltar, they would be able to save Jasmine and ruined that place as well.

After all, there was nothing left for Darius in that pack. Those members of the pack could die for all he cared. His younger brother died in the hand of that young lycan, but none of them said anything about it.

There was no more justice in that kind of place.

July stood up and then said clearly. “I can’t help you if you keep lying to me, stop with that nonsense, or you can leave this place right now. I don’t think your information is worth it for me.”

If this kind of information was the only thing that Darius could bring to the table, she didn’t need it. McKeltar didn’t have anything to do with the issue in the shadow moon pack, they didn’t need to involve themselves into their problem.

Especially, to attack them because of the reason they needed to save Jasmine? That was ridiculous. July wouldn’t take that risk.

.....

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Her sister knew what she was doing and she didn’t have any obligation on her, they had stopped to be family long time ago, moreover now, when their father had died.

All this hatred and how their family had separated was thanked to their father. If it was not for him, who nurtured the hatred within them against the supernatural creature, they wouldn’t live like this and what happened to Jasmine right now was the consequence of her own action and choice.

She needed to live with that.

“I will tell you the truth, but please, help me. Get Jasmine out of there.” Darius stood up as well, which made Sebastian was on alert and put himself between July and Darius.

Meanwhile, Zuri was standing a little bit far from them, she wanted her existence was not noticed, but it was hard not to see her.

“I don’t see the reason why I have to risk my people to help her.” But, before Darius could answer that, July had cut him off first. “Don’t talk about bullshit of her being my sister, so I have this responsibility to take care of her, because I don’t care.”

Darius opened his mouth, as if he wanted to retort that word and being persistence with his story, trying to guilt trip July with the card of ‘sister’.

However, he immediately realized that strategy wouldn’t go anywhere, because July had emphasized how she didn’t see Jasmine as her family, as her sister anymore. She could care less about him and this method wouldn’t change her mind.

In the end, Darius knew, keeping the story would only piss her off and not only he wouldn’t get the help that he needed, he could be kicked out from this place. This was the only shelter that he had right now, where else he could go?

“Jasmine is pregnant with my baby,” Darius finally said, he balled his fists when he admitted this. “We were having an affair, so Jasmine is pregnant with my child right now and I need your help to get her out of there.”

He didn’t have more chance about this, but maybe if he pleaded with her like this, she could get some sympathy from July, if she wanted to reconsider this alone, it was already a great thing for Darius at this moment.

However, July smirked when she heard that. “Do you want to say that Jasmine was having an affair with you, she was able to entertain you when she was under torture from the alpha?” July raised her brows. “Can you hear that by yourself? How ridiculous it was.”

Darius had to admit, the excuse was a little bit off when he put it that way. How could someone, who was being tortured, having an affair with some other guy? Yet, that was the fact, it was hard to explain when you didn’t experience it yourself.

“What should I do for you to be able to help me to get her back? She is pregnant with my child,” Darius said, his tone was a little bit hard, but there was raw emotion in it.

“That is none of my business,” she said casually. If July had time to mess around with other man behind her shifter boyfriend, then her life was not in that danger, right? Even so, July still refused to help he, remembering what she had done to her and how she tried to turn their father to hate her just because they had different perspective. “If you can’t take this answer, you are free to go and save her yourself, but I will not risk my people’s life just to make some ruckus in that pack, in order to save her and your unborn baby.”

She knew it was petty of her and this was not the right time to feel so petty, but July felt so bitter when she remembered how she was trying to have a baby, to become pregnant with Knox’s child, but Jasmine could easily have her third child right now. She hated that fact.

This feeling didn’t relate with this problem, but still, July couldn’t help, but feeling a little bit jealous of her to have those babies. What an irony of this life...

When she couldn’t have the child that she wanted, Jasmine could have them so easily.

July knew this was not right to feel bitter and jealous toward her twin sister in this matter, knowing Jasmine, she wouldn’t want to have those children, but still... that thought didn’t make her feel better, but to not being able to stop that kind of thought, only made her even more depressed.

“Where are you going?” Darius felt frustrated to see how ignorance July was when he told her about this, she didn’t even stop for a second to consider this. “Are you really not going to help your sister?”

July turned around and then looked at Darius with coldness in her eyes. “Yes, I am not going to help her. You are free to go to help her, I will not stop you from doing so, therefore, stop asking that ridiculous question anymore, because I will not change my mind.”

And after saying that, July walked in front of Zuri, who didn’t say anything from the beginning until the end of the conversation, she didn’t even make an eye contact with July when she walked passed her.

“Zuri, can we talk?” July asked, while Sebastian was standing behind her. He became even more quiet right now. July was not sure whether Knox said something to him or not regarding the matter between the three of them, but they met with each other this morning.

“I will see you at the library, after I talk with him,” Zuri replied, but she still refused to see her, her hazel eyes fixed on Darius instead.

It was hard for July to make out what was in Zuri’s mind right now because her expression was devoid from any emotions and not like when she was a teenager, the last time she saw her, right now, July could feel how callous she was, as if she had thrown away all of her feeling and numbed herself.

“Okay,” July agreed.

And after that, she walked out of the room with Sebastian, leaving Zuri and Darius alone. She didn’t want to know what the two of them was talking about, but she hoped they didn’t talk for long time, because it was important for her to talk with Zuri.

“You can leave me alone, Sebastian,” July said, as she took the route toward the library, while Sebastian kept following her.

“Knox knew about us,” Sebastian said, he talked straight to the point, because both of them knew they were only avoiding this matter. “He doesn’t mind if I pursue you.”

July glanced at Sebastian and then scoffed. “I don’t want to talk about that. Knox is not in his right mind when he said that.” So, they were indeed talking about this in this morning.

July felt disappointed because Knox didn’t fight for her, for their relationship. It was not the man that she fell head over heels years ago, because the Knox that she knew, he would tear apart any man, who was dare enough to touch her.

But right now, Knox just gave up? How funny this situation was...

“And one more thing,” July said, she stopped walking and then faced Sebastian. “There is no ‘us’. Please, don’t make things more complicated than this. I just want him, I don’t want anyone else.”

July had to make this clear, she needed to set boundaries between them, which he shouldn’t cross.

It seemed, she needed to have another talk with Knox...
