Chapter 21: YOU FORCED ME TO HURT YOU
"Never meet with him again!" Xaden enunciated every word he said. "Never interact with him."
Zuri didn't say anything, she stared out of the window of the carriage, as they went back to Blackthorne pack. Ignored by her, Xaden felt pissed off.
"Do you hear me?"
"Loud and clear."
The carriage was spacious and they sat opposite each other, but the distance between them felt vast.
"What have you talked to him about?" Xaden asked, he was impatient. He felt this murderous intention from Khaos when he kissed Zuri in front of him. He didn't expect that.
Despite it lasting for just a few seconds and when he was done with his mate and looked at the man, there was no trace of it, he had still felt it. He knew how it felt when a predator stalked its prey.
"Nothing."
Xaden was at the end of his patience. He stretched his hand and pinched Zuri's chin, forcing her to look at him. His mate was glaring at him, she tried to swat his hand away, but he grabbed her hand and changed seats. Now, he was sitting next to her.
"You have talked with him for so long and all you can say is nothing?" he raised his brows.
Instead of being scared, Zuri chuckled. His claws grazed her skin, embedded into her wrist, but this pain was nothing. "I thought we would mind our own business?" She raised her brow. "Mind your own business, Xaden."
The alpha was not happy with that answer, he growled threateningly, yet being threatened felt like home to Zuri.
"Are you trying to start an affair with him?"
"Never said I will."
"But, you are considering it."
Both of them were put in the same cell.
"Luna?" The guard was stunned to see the luna was there. "What can I help you with?"
"Show me the way to Esther and Sarah's cell."
"But, Luna..."
The look on Zuri's face must have scared him enough to follow her instruction. They had heard what happened to Faye and now they were being careful with her.
The dungeon was so dark and dirty, as if they didn't even care to clean it, adding to the element of punishment. The air was damp and moss grew on the slick stonewalls.
The young guard was leading the way and then stopped at a certain cell, where two young
girls huddled up together. They looked... disgusting to say the least.
"You can leave," Zuri said coldly, as she stared at Sarah and Esther. The young guard left there without a question.
From behind the bars, the two of them slowly lifted their heads and realized it was the luna. They immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness.
They didn't know why the luna was here, but their punishment could be worse than this. They
were so scared.
Meanwhile, Zuri let them beg for her forgiveness and waited until they finally stopped and
simply stared at her, confused.
"Lu- luna..." Esther called her.
"I am sorry, Luna. We are really sorry..."
Only then, Zuri took a step closer toward the bars and smiled sweetly at them.
