Chapter 291
“No,” Liam said curtly. He got off from the bed and put on his boxers, as he walked over to the other side of the bed and kissed Jasmine on her forehead. He glanced at the glaring mark on her neck. His mark on her still hadn’t taken a shape, making it look like she got a bruise instead of a mark.
Which meant, she was still not willing to be marked by him. This was the same as when Zuri was forcefully marked by Emmet.
However, Jasmine didn’t know about this.
Therefore, no matter what sweet words that Jasmine said and how she went far and beyond to convince Liam that she was on his side, he still didn’t believe her. He wouldn’t let her alone with their children.
The evidence that she was still holding a grudge and not true to her words was right before his eyes, glaring at Liam as clear as day.
“Why?” Jasmine was visibly upset because of this. She wanted to have some alone time with the twins, but Liam would always reject this idea. “I am their mother.”
Jasmine pushed herself up and covered her naked body with the blanket, then she picked Liam’s shirt and wore it.
Liam cursed under his breath when he saw how Jasmine looked wearing his shirt, but this sight alone wouldn’t be able to sway him. He could get her however he wanted, whenever he needed.
.....
He no longer cared about her consent. After all, this was her punishment, as Jasmine didn’t have any other choice. It was either she let Liam do whatever he wanted or he would let his warriors have their way with her. Just because she was the luna of this pack, didn’t mean she gained respect of all the pack members and Jasmine was well aware of this.
“Their mother?” Liam smirked. He walked over to stand in front of Jasmine, as he cupped her face in his hands before running a thumb over her swollen lips. He loved it when she looked like this, because any other female shifter he was with wouldn’t bear this evidence for a long time, since they would heal easily. “You mean the mother, who wants to smother them in their sleep?”
Two weeks ago, when Jasmine was given permission to see their children without anyone’s supervision, Jasmine didn’t hesitate to kill their boy if it were not for his twin who cried her heart out until the sound of it attracted the guards nearby.
Fortunately, they came in time and stopped Jasmine from commiting murder against her own children.
For that, Liam threw her in the dungeon for ten days and only recently she was freed after she showed how remorseful she was while swearing she didn’t think straight when she did that.
However, now, she wanted to see them again? How preposterous of Jasmine to think that he would allow her to meet them alone again?
“That was a mistake, I will never do that again,” Jasmine swore up and down that she wanted to be part of this pack, that her family had abandoned her, which made her furious whenever she remembered them and promised she would help Liam to destroy the entire human kind.
All of that was the same thing that she sang from the moment she had this idea, but in reality, Jasmine would turn one hundred and eighty whenever she got a chance to get rid of their children or Liam himself.
“Of course, love, you will never do that again, because there will be no next time,” Liam said to Jasmine, as he leaned over and kissed her lips, but he ended it with a bite instead.
Liam smiled when he saw anger rippling in her eyes, while he wiped blood from the corner of her mouth, he loved how stubborn she was to not let out even a single whimper, even though she was in pain.
Liam then walked toward the wardrobe and put on some clothes and pants. “I will return in two days, take care of yourself and don’t cause trouble.”
And after saying that, Liam turned around and walked away from the room.
=======================
“Can you promise me one thing, Blue?” Chaos looked at her with his dark blue eyes. It had been a long time. Zuri didn’t even remember the last time his eyes were in their original color.
“What is it?” Somehow, Zuri felt there was something more to this promise. She didn’t like the sound of Chaos’ voice and how calm he was. She was more worried about Chaos, when he was like this.
“If things go worse for me, stab me.” Chaos handed the sword to her. He made Zuri grab the hilt and held her wrist firmly, rendering her unable to move away from him.
“No.” Zuri was angry when she heard that.
Chaos had made her promise to follow every word that he said, kill someone if he told her to kill, run when he told her to run, even abandon him if he said so, without any questions asked.
But, to kill him... he must be out of his mind if he thought Zuri would agree to that.
“No.” Zuri tried her best to free her hand, but Chaos held her so tight, even when Zuri’s claws emerged from the tips of her fingers and grazed his arm, the man didn’t budge at all.
His arm bled for like a second before the wound healed itself. Zuri felt bad for hurting him, but seeing how he didn’t even flinch when she clawed him, left her a little bit annoyed.
“I will not promise you that, Chaos,” Zuri said sternly. She gave up on freeing her hand and let him do whatever he wanted.
And right before her eyes, Zuri witnessed what Chaos was capable of doing. The black sword shone brightly, but warmly, the light was velvety and delicate.
However, the thing that left Zuri most shocked was when the black sword faded, no, the sword merged into her hand, as if she was absorbing the solid material.
“What?” Once again, Zuri tried to retract her hand to no avail. All she could do was to watch how she absorbed the sword. She looked amazed by how it worked, until she forgot to retaliate again.
In the end, the black sword disappeared and left a small tattoo on her wrist. It was a small red flower and Chaos ended it with a kiss on it.
“The sword will appear when you need it.”
Zuri shook her head to clear her mind from her amazement and then looked at Chaos, her eyes narrowed. “Do you mean when I am going to stab you?”
Chaos took a deep breath, as he extended his hand to caress her face, but before he could say anything, there was a shrill scream that came from the car, as Norbeat stomped over.
“My lord! My lord! You didn’t do it, right? You didn’t really do it, right? It is impossible! How could you do that?!” The little boy was always bawling his eyes out and Zuri felt she wanted to kick him under the rushing car on the road for his actions right now. “It is impossible! It is impossible!” he cried, while giving Zuri an accusatory glare, though she didn’t know what she had done wrong. “How dare you take the sword away from Lord Chaos!?”
“Shut up,” Chaos said. He put down Zuri’s hand and walked back to the car, while Norbeat stopped wailing, but his lips kept moving, as if he was mouthing something.
There were a few words that Zuri could pick up from reading his lips and most of them turned out to be cursing words.
“It seems your Lord loves me more than you,” Zuri said, rubbing him in the wrong way. “Hit me and I am sure Chaos will burn you again,” Zuri reminded him what happened earlier when he cursed her and then pointed her finger, as a warning at the little boy’s face when he raised his short hands, about to hit her.
Zuri smirked and called her white wolf to enter the car, while she sat next to Chaos.
“I don’t want to sit in the backseat with that animal!” Norbeat rushed over when he saw they were going to leave him behind.
“You can stay here for all I care,” Zuri smirked when she watched the little boy’s comical expression. She would love to have Norbeat on this journey, so she wouldn’t leave this rare creature behind. Moreover, he seemed to know more about Chaos than she did.
It would be a futile attempt to ask Chaos something when he was determined to not answer her. But it was different with Norbeat. Zuri could think of a few methods to make this creature talk.
“Get in, or get lost,” Zuri said, while smiling sweetly at him, holding the backseat door open for the wolf and the soul possessor.
Norbeat felt defeated. He grumbled up and down, but didn’t dare to curse Zuri within Chaos’ earshot, thus he got into the backseat after the wolf and sat next to White.
“Sit far away from me,” Norbeat seethed at White, but the wolf wiggled her bushy tail in his face instead, as if she was trying to tease him, which made him even more annoyed.
