160 I DON’T LIKE TO REPEAT MYSELF
“Don’t... touch ...” Zuri managed to speak those words and moved her body slightly, she found a man sitting on the edge of the bed.
Her eyes darted to the door and could clearly see that the door was still locked, so how could he co into her room without even making any sound? Or did she sleep so deep and was oblivious when soone entered her room?
That couldn’t be true.
Zuri shook her head to gain more consciousness, she needed to be alert when there was soone else here and moreover, he was too close for her liking
“Why?” the man asked, looking at her innocently. “Because it reminds you of what your mate had done to you?”
Her body tensed when he spoke that way and her fists balled, until she could feel her nails piercing her palm. If there was no bracelet around her wrist, she would have shifted into her beast by now.
However, in her current condition, she was not sure if she was strong enough to even defend herself against this man.
“Pardon , did I say sothing wrong?” the man asked her again, he feigned a concerned look on his face, but the only thing that Zuri wanted to do to him was to tear him apart and leave this room.
“Leave alone,” Zuri gritted her teeth when she forced herself to speak with so much anger.
.....
“Why should I leave you alone when you need help the most now,” the man kept spitting nonsense and Zuri’s mind was too tired to follow whatever he intended to do. She wanted him to stop talking and leave. “I can help you, Zuri... or, should I call you Blue?”
Zuri’s eyes hardened when she heard that na. No one ever called her with that na again after she was left alone in her uncle’s pack. How could this man know that na?
“I rember you really liked that na, right?” The man talked joyfully, he moved closer to her, but Zuri pressed her body against the wall behind her, trying to get away from him. “You like that na because it reminds you of his eyes, right?”
Right.
But, for the sa reason, she hated that na now. She didn’t want to be called by that na, not even wanted to hear it.
“Why?” The man studied Zuri’s expression. “You don’t seem like you want to be called by that na anymore.”
“Who are you?” Zuri asked him, her eyes were so sharp when she watched how this man hit his forehead, as if he had forgotten sothing.
“Oh, right!” he said loudly. “I forgot to introduce myself, you must be very confused, right? Oh, where are my manners...”
Zuri didn’t even give any reaction to that response. She remained in her spot, glaring at him in warning to not co any closer.
“I am an old friend,” he said, but just nodded at her politely because he knew that she didn’t want to be touched. “We have t before. Well, I can’t say that we t... but I know you for a long ti.”
If he said that he knew her for a long ti, then Blue completely didn’t rember him at all. Either he was lying or he just ca up with a story.
“I am Hades,” he said his na clearly and proudly. “I owned you before, but Chaos succeeded in taking you away from .” Hades looked disappointed when he said that.
Hades.
The na rang bells in her ears. She rembered what Anne had told her about Chaos, who had brought her back from death. It was Hades, the god of the underworld, the unseen.
“What? Do you want to take back?” Zuri spoke with so much sarcasm in her words. “Take . I don’t care.”
Chaos shouldn’t have saved her eight years ago, so she could die when she felt whole, when she was herself and was not consud by repulsion like now. This feeling ate her alive...
“Ah!” Hades clapped his hands. “Unfortunately, I can’t do that...” he said regretfully. “I ca to make a pact with you, will you listen to ?”
“No.” The answer ca very firmly. “Now, leave.”
“I am afraid I can’t do that, Blue...”
“Stop calling that,” Zuri hissed.
“Zuri,” Hades corrected himself.
“Don’t call at all.”
She looked so stubborn and in pain, not the kind of pain that her healing ability could heal, but sothing that was so damaging until ti couldn’t even fix it.
Hades then stretched out his hands and grabbed hers, as the young girl started struggling in his clutch.
“Don’t. Touch. .” Zuri stressed on every single word, but it was not enough to make this man let her go, instead, he moved closer and kissed her forehead gently.
“I will take you with when the ti is right, but for now, consider my offer.”
Zuri shut her eyes tightly, she felt her whole body trembling when she felt his breath against her neck when he whispered those words to her, but then he disappeared, not even his grip on her wrist that she could feel.
He was gone when Zuri opened her eyes again, but when she looked down, the bracelet that shackled her beast had co off her wrist.
Consider his offer...
What kind of offer did he want to make to her?
====================
Damon’s jaw dropped when he heard what Liam demanded from him.
“What? What did you just say?” he looked at the young Alpha in disbelief. Was this the sa boy that he didn’t even need to spare a second glance weeks ago? But now... he looked even crazier than his father.
“Should I repeat myself to you again? I am sure you heard clearly,” Liam replied, he leaned his back against the wall behind him, as he stared at the beta. “I hate it when I have to repeat myself.”
