Chapter 506 - 506 HER NIGHTMARE

506 HER NIGHTMARE

Zuri was sure that a moment ago she was staring at the alpha of the black wolf pack, a man with long red hair with a scar on his left cheek, as a result of a battle or a fight.

It was rare to see a shifter with scar, since their healing ability was top notch.

However, a second later, Zuri was no longer there. She was in completely different place. She was staring at the river, while the opposite of this calm river, someone held a ceremony.

Zuri looked around her, but she couldn’t find Knox or Gael, neither Chaos was there. Where they had gone? She looked confused.

They were surrounded by dozen of warriors and beasts from the black wolf pack, but right now she was alone at the other side of the river, while she was staring at a strange, but familiar ceremony before her eyes.

There were a lot of people there, who didn’t notice her presence at all. Probably, because of the wind didn’t blow toward her direction, therefore they didn’t realize her up until now, since she could be counted as an intruder, there was no way, no one had not yet approached her.

But then, Zuri realized that the wind didn’t blow, though the leaves swayed and the branches rattled, but there was no wind that she could feel, as if time went still only for her.

Gradually, the voices of people from the opposite of the river could be heard and the tension became more palpable in this peaceful night, with moon was in full shape in the clear sky.

Zuri felt this weird feeling about her surroundings. She knew this place and for some odd reason that she thought was not possible… she knew what ceremony was that.

.....

They looked so young. Was this how the ceremony looked like when in someone else’s eyes?

The tension was so thick and fear hang in the air, which made Zuri came closer, she walked across the river, but her pants didn’t get soak and she didn’t have trouble to come near them, since no one noticed her.

This was weird, but she was not surprised, as if she had expected it. Zuri even could smell their restlessness and felt their anxiety about what would happen in the end of this night.

“Put her down,” Alpha Xerxes told Liam, as a few people reached the sacred river with a girl with white hair was being carried by one of them, where the ceremony would be held and Emmet would mark his chosen mate in front of the rest of the pack.

Zuri didn’t realize it when she balled her fists so tight her knuckles turned red.

The girl was Blue, her young self, the young she wolf, who couldn’t protect herself and was being forced to succumb to their order.

Something in her stirred when she watched her young and helpless self, as if the demon from the past hunted her down again. She was having a hard time to breath.

Liam frowned, his expression was trouble, but he didn’t do what his father wanted him to do immediately. “Father,” he said, hesitation in his voice. “Why don’t we postpone this and do it again next time? You just killed someone tonight, it will jinx the mating ceremony.”

Zuri scoffed when she heard that. Wasn’t that the one who had planned it all? And here he pretended to be innocent and concerned about Blue.

Poor girl… she was being toyed and her trust was being broken at that time. She thought among those crazy people in that pack, he was the only one, who she could trust, someone that she could say as a friend…

“What do you mean it will jinx the ceremony?” Alpha Xerxes was not in the right mood after all to have someone objected him again and again.

This was the time when they took Mateo’s life. Her uncle’s beta. The person, who kept his former pack safe and kept them together.

“There was a death today, so you shouldn’t have performed the mating ceremony on the same day.” Liam was trying to convince his father, but it was hard when he used his power to intimidate his son or anyone, who opposed him.

A smile tugged on the corner of Blue’s lips when she stabbed Emmet with the onlace that Chaos gave to her, yet it didn’t last for long.

Zuri watched the whole thing again and her blood ran cold when Emmet forcefully marked her. She touched her own neck, as she remembered the pain.

Even now, she still could feel the pain and the mark was still there, since she had never accepted that and Chaos was not able to completely erase it. He could only make the mark was not as glaring as it supposed to be, but not getting rid of it entirely.

She knew what would happen next and everything happened before her eyes again, just like watching a movie and every scene broke Zuri’s heart even more. How she remembered the pain that they had inflicted on her and how they ruined her innocent.

Blue was dead at that time, she was dead when she gave up to the wave of heat that made her surrendered under Emmet’s touch.

The repulsion came so strong, Zuri felt like she was going to throw up, but no matter what she did to get away from this place, from the scene when Emmet took her that night in that rickety hut, she couldn’t escape from this.

There was this vicious power that forced her to relive all of her nightmare all over again, no matter how much she cried and screamed to stop, but there was nothing happened.

Zuri watched Blue in desperation and despair.

Chaos…

Zuri called his name again and again, she was helpless, just like Blue before her eyes…
