131 NUMBING HER FEELING

“Don’t you know that your words could put your friend in danger?! She would be killed!” Emmet was completely outraged at the thought that he would lose his true mate.

His father made sure that she would be dead once he figured out who she was.

Emmet received a few beatings and curses from him because he didn’t want to reveal who it was and kept telling him that it did not even matter. He would never reject the idea of having a mating ceremony with Blue. His mate was not a problem, so his father must leave it at that.

“So, what if she is killed?” Blue asked coldly, her onlace was still on point, at the same level as Emmet’s face. “Many people die everyday.”

“What?” Emmet frowned because he didn’t expect such a response from Blue. “You are not serious, right? I know your relationship with Meredith is good. You are friends.”

“I have no friend.” That was the thing that she would always repeat to herself, because she didn’t want to be attached to something, since it would give them a weapon to hold her under their thumb.

She wouldn’t give them that pleasure.

“I am on good terms with your brother too, but I will not even blink if you decided to get rid of him one day.” Blue put on an unreadable expression when she said something like this. At least, she was good at numbing her feelings and spouting nonsensical threats.

“YOU. DON’T. FUCKING. UNDERSTAND!” Emmet literally emphasized every word he said, while gritting his teeth, his fists clenched at the side of his body. He was only a few seconds away from shifting into his beast form.

.....

“Do I need to understand?” Blue scoffed and raised her brows, that was the only reaction that Emmet got from her.

Emmet was seeing red right now, but since he couldn’t pick up the anxiety or even a slight concern that Blue had for Meredith, he couldn’t go on with his initial plan.

“I don’t want you to say a word about who my mate is.” That was the last threat that Emmet could give to Blue before he kicked her door and stormed out of her room, leaving the broken door behind him.

This was not the first time for Blue to fix something broken because apparently Emmet would leave something broken whenever he came to her room.

However, once she was alone and she dropped her onlace on the floor, Blue sat down on her bed and held her head with both of her hands.

She stayed like that for a good fifteen minutes before she decided that she needed to fix that damn door.

====================

Yes, the world was in chaos when humans found out about the existence of supernatural creatures and saw them as the enemy for their kind.

All of their fears, greed and also their avidity for more information on these non- human beings were invested in the organization called The Hound, which now held so much importance in the society, which meant, Archie Williams was one of the most important people in this city.

He ran his own experiments with complete authorization from the government. That always had been his obsession and now he had achieved it, of course Jasmine was on his side, she was his right hand person, aside from Sol.

And now the three of them were behind the camera, Archie was giving his own speech about a lethal weapon that they had developed in their arsenal, as their last resort to ‘clean’ their world from unwanted creatures.

That was how they referred to those supernatural creatures.

And when it was time for Jasmine to talk, July turned off her television. She didn’t like seeing someone with the same face as her, smirking and talking righteously about human rights and whatever plans she had to destroy the supernatural creatures.

In the end, those words that came out of her mouth were only empty words. July couldn’t understand how she was able to manage to say a lot of things, but actually said nothing at all and people loved it.

It has been eight years since Knox had gone and she was already thirty one this year, but her feelings for him didn’t even change a little bit.

Knox had told her to not wait for him, but how could she not? When her heart was still beating so fast at the mention of his name alone?

She looked down and her ring glimmered under the lights in the room, as though giving her some hope. A false hope.

“Can I come in?”

A man’s voice travelled into the room when she was staring at the fire in her fireplace in her bedroom.

“Come in,” July said, her voice was a perfect reflection of her mood. She felt gloomy. “What is it?” She asked when she saw Sebastian standing in the doorway.

“Lise wants to talk with you,” he said, pointing his finger at the phone in her room.

Sebastian was Knox’s right hand man and he had been with July ever since he knew that Knox was a supernatural creature, but it didn’t change his loyalty toward him.

He and Nathen, with July’s lead, had established their own organization that was very vocal about going against The Hound.

Yes, they openly said that what The Hound had done was not right and they could live alongside the non- human beings like what they had done for all those centuries before they figured out their existence.

However, their voice was not loud enough to threaten an organization like The Hound and the only reason why they still survived and out of the reach of the government, was because July was Archie’s daughter and Sol would flip if something happened to his favorite sister.

But, at the very least, this was what July could do while waiting for Knox...

“Lise?” Jasmine lifted her head, it had been a while since she called her.
