361 HE SAW RED

“WHAT THE HELL?!” Derek was furious because someone took his phone, but his anger immediately died down when he saw Eros had his phone and was now swiping all the pictures furiously. “WHAT DO YOU WANT?!” Derek snapped.

At this moment, he could feel his blood running cold because deep down, he realized that he was scared of this young beta.

They had sparred a few times in the past and despite being young, Eros would win every fight against him, whether it was on the training ground or outside of it, since occasionally Eros would see him bullying Emily.

Despite knowing that the little girl was forbidden and not to be touched, the more dangerous it was, the more they found themselves attracted to it.

It was so dumb, but that was what Derek and the rest of his friends had done to Emily during these past years, ever since they knew she was a human, because in their heads, human was an enemy.

On the other hand, Eros saw everything and his expression turned from anger, to mad, to livid. He even growled dangerously the more he saw all the pictures inside Derek’s phone.

Eros didn’t believe what he saw and from the pictures in it, he could determine what kind of sordid things that they had done to Emily.

His blood boiled with anger and he felt like he was going to shred this stupid shifter’s life into pieces, since he didn’t know what else he had to do to vent out these kinds of emotions.

Eros felt his whole body shuddering with anger that he couldn’t hold back. No one would want to see those kinds of pictures of their sister. They were truly stupid to keep the pictures.

.....

On the other hand, Derek was dreading to see how mad Eros was. He had fought him countless times, but not even once could he take him down and also, never even once did he see him this mad before.

Derek knew if he were to fight him now, he wouldn’t win this fight, though Eros was younger, much skinnier, and almost as tall as him.

However, he was not sure with the addition of these four people, if they could be equals. After all, Eros had taken down the previous beta in Atbikai fight, right? He must be something to be able to do that.

And yet, Derek didn’t want to back down, it would be embarrassing to do that now.

“GIVE ME BACK MY PHONE!” Derek said with such severity in his voice, each word echoed off the walls. He gritted his teeth in order to not let his fear seep through his fa?ade.

But then, Eros crushed the phone in his hand, his blue eyes turned dark when he walked closer toward Derek with the pieces of phone now lodged deeply in his hand.

Blood dripped to the floor because there were rough edges of the pieces of the broken phone that pierced through his palm and cut his flesh, yet he didn’t care much about it.

Meanwhile, seeing how livid Eros was, the five of them couldn’t utter a word. They were even too afraid to breathe, as they didn’t want to be at the receiving end of Eros’ anger.

Even though Eros was alone and he was relatively young, not to mention that they outnumbered him, there was something about this young lycan, who managed to send chills down their spines and left them without being able to fight back the dominance that emanated from his body.

He looked feral to say the least.

And the next thing that they knew, Eros had shifted into his black beast and lunged at Derek, who shifted into his beast at the last second.

Kyle and the other two boys shifted into their beasts as well, to help Derek, but Josh rushed out of the room, in order to find help.

It didn’t take long before all the furniture inside the room was torn apart and broken as there were five beasts that fought brutally.

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

Jasmine was inside her bedroom again, she felt sick. It had been a few days since she felt under the weather, but she brushed it off and thought she only caught a flu or something.

She didn’t even want to let Ariana check on her condition and because Liam still had not yet returned to their bedroom, no one knew that she was sick.

As for food, there would be someone who brought her meals and drinks at certain intervals. And if she needed anything, there would be, at least, two guards, in front of her door, who would help her get everything that she wanted round the clock.

But, because after two days she had not come out of the room and she lost her appetite, there would be a lot of food that was left when someone picked up the tray.

Even some of them would be left untouched by her.

Probably because of that, someone finally told Liam about Jasmine’s condition and he finally caved in and decided to check on her.

The first thing that Jasmine felt was; there was someone putting their cold hands on her forehead and this felt so good.

Jasmine then opened her eyes and found Liam in front of her, sitting on the edge of the table, staring at her, but he didn’t say anything.

Jasmine met Darius three days ago, but even though someone would let Liam know about her meeting with him, he didn’t approach her even once.

Or maybe, Liam no longer cared about her.

“Call Ariana,” Liam said to someone, who was out of Jasmine’s peripheral sight. She couldn’t see who Liam was talking to, but she could hear the door being shut as the room descended into silence once again.

“Why didn’t you meet the healer?” Liam asked her, but Jasmine decided that she didn’t want to hear any of that and chose to sleep.

However, Liam didn’t come here or relented to her only to be ignored, thus, he flipped her body a little bit harshly, until she faced him again.

“I am asking you a question,” he said in a deep voice, but then he softened his features because she was sick right now and he didn’t want her to get even worse. “I have called the healer. She will check on you in a few minutes.”

Liam informed her and then let Jasmine turn her body away again, refusing to see himself, as she had her back against him right now.

Once again, the room was very silent, there was no sound that they could hear, except their own breathing and this made Liam very tired.

He wanted to sleep next to Jasmine, but he was afraid that he would hurt her again like the last time. He hated this when his own emotions were very unreliable.

There was a moment when Liam wanted to hurt her so badly and made her suffer, but there were times when he reminisced the first year they met, how happy they used to be in the past, but right now, there was no right amount of words that could describe how complicated his feeling was.

The silence between them was very heavy and Liam knew that Jasmine was not sleeping. She just ignored him, which was something that was no longer strange for Liam.

He looked around and realized that it took so long for the guard to take Ariana here, but when someone finally opened the door and strode inside the room, who he saw was not Ariana.

It was the same guard, who rushed toward Liam to inform him about something important.

“The beta was fighting and now one of the warriors is dead,” he informed Liam about this and made him spring to his feet, as he stood up and approached the guard, who had delivered the news. “Say it again!” The alpha demanded an explanation for this.

“One of the warriors is dead,” he repeated the words.

It was clear to hear how the alpha growled deeply and gritted his teeth when he stormed out of the bedroom, but before that, he turned around to tell the guard to look after Jasmine.

“Let the healer come and let her check on her!”

And after saying that, Liam went away from the room.

Meanwhile, Jasmine was not sleeping, her eyes opened brightly as she listened to the rushed footsteps that gradually moved further away.

Jasmine seemed to know what was happening and what the reason was. If it was related to the beta, something must have happened to Emily.

But, little did she know this news would affect her as well.

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

Liam walked into the room and found a young man lying on the bed, with his body brutally attacked as blood dripped from his wounds, seeping into the white sheets beneath him.

However, he was not moving. No matter what Ariana did, he could no longer do anything.

Liam then entered the room and approached him. He knew who this young boy was and frowned deeply.

“Where is Eros?” Liam asked Ariana, who was tending to the other three young men there. They were injured, but not so bad until their lives were in danger.

“He is next to this room, my mate is trying to calm him down,” Ariana replied to the alpha, as he nodded and walked out of the room, only to run into Darius, whose face had turned red.

He roared loudly once he opened the door to the infirmary room. “What happened to my brother?!” Darius stopped in his tracks.
