141 THE MATE BOND

Blue convinced herself that she would manage to go through this. She would be alive and wait for her time to avenge whatever they had done to her.

She would bleed or bruise and even shed tears, but she wouldn’t let Alpha Xerxes get away with what he had done. He killed her uncle and now he beheaded Mateo.

Blue was sure that she would crush his heart with her own hands and let him watch that. He would die a miserable death that he would have never seen coming.

Blue would make sure he would beg her to kill him when she tortured him to her heart’s content and she would torment him again and again.

The white haired girl gritted her teeth when she felt the cold water of the river touched her skin and soaked the cloak that Liam gave to her. It only reached her hips.

The only reminder that she was alive was only the way Emmet gripped her hand tightly. He was literally only a step away from crushing her fingers, but Blue had so much in her mind to care about that.

She was helpless with the bracelet around her wrist that prevented her from shifting into her beast and also with the wounds that littered her body, which dyed the water of the river red.

“You better not pass out when I mark you,” Emmet hissed when he spoke to her, as the ceremony began with Alpha Xerxes chanting praises for the moon goddess in an ancient language.

Blue didn’t answer that, she had her eyes fixed on Emmet, yet she said nothing about his words. She knew what kind of pain that she would go through once Emmet sunk his teeth in the sweet spot on her neck, she was pretty sure that he wouldn’t do it gently.

.....

But then, maybe that pain was what she needed at this moment, to keep her mind alive and to keep her grudge and resentment sharp.

She would remember every pain and humiliation that she felt tonight, the agony that gnawed at her heart, which she would hang onto for her dear life.

If Blue was asked what made her thrive to survive, the answer would be a grudge. She would survive to ensure these spiteful creatures regretted not killing her tonight.

She was once a little, innocent girl, with nothing that she wanted aside from a safe place for her to stay and lived surrounded by people that she loved and had a heart that was as gentle as a feather, now that little girl was gone.

Every small piece of her that reminded her of that little girl had gone. Zuri killed Blue in her, because that innocent girl, who would sob pitifully and flinch whenever she saw someone lose their life, wouldn’t survive in this world.

She would survive on her own.

She would no longer have her hope to be saved by anyone, not even Chaos...

“Now, you can mark your mate!” Alpha Xerxes announced, he smirked triumphantly, grinning viciously even when he watched Emmet grab Blue’s face roughly and sink his teeth into her tender neck.

The Alpha thought that she would cry out of pain and struggle to give one last fight, though it was only a vain attempt, since she wouldn’t be able to avoid this.

However, to his surprise, the girl sucked her pain and gritted her teeth, she endured the agony when Emmet forced to form a bond between them.

They were not mates, thus the bond that was created between them would be more painful, especially when the other one was not willing to give in.

“What a stubborn girl,” Alpha Xerxes murmured, he was quite disappointed because the part where Zuri would be crying was the part that he had been waiting for, but then he didn’t get the pleasure.

Alpha Xerxes turned around to see the girl that was Emmet’s true mate and he smiled resentfully to see the girl crying silently, sobbing until her whole body was trembling when she was forced to witness the whole thing right before her eyes.

Meredith felt the mate bond between them get snapped the moment Emmet marked Zuri, but then, since Emmet had not yet marked her, it was not so bad for her. It was something that she could endure and go through with it, as time would heal it.

However, what Zuri had to face was something for a lifetime.

On the other hand, Liam turned around and left the scene, he didn’t want to stay any longer there.

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

“Where is my daughter?” That was the first word that came out of her mouth when Lise opened her eyes and found out she was in a silent room, with only a woman next to her.

Lise could see the IV drip that was connected to her hand and the cold expression of that woman when she asked her about River.

“Where is my daughter?” Lise repeated her question again and her first instinct was to flee from this place. Whatever place it was, this gave her a bad feeling, her guts told her to find River and go as far away as possible.

“WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER!?” Lise roared when the woman didn’t answer her question, she looked at her contemptuously and continued with whatever she was doing, as she injected something into her IV drip.

“NO!” Lise struggled to free herself, she was trying to sit down only to find out that she had been strapped to the bed and was not able to move an inch from there.

Her eyes widened in shock, the perilousness of the situation registered in her mind. Wherever she was, she was not safe, moreover her daughter.

However, the more she tried to fight back, the more exhausted she got. Her eyelids dropped, as her heart rate dropped bit by bit and the only thing that she could remember was; she had to find her daughter...
