156 BLOODY PACK
Zuri shifted her attention from Adel to the shameless Alpha in front of her. “And this is my gratitude,” she said lightly, as she tossed something from the pocket of her pants at the Alpha.
Out of instinct, Alpha Xerxes caught it before it could hit his chest and raised that small thing to his eyes. In an instant his face turned darker, as anger rumbled from his chest and came out as a vicious growl.
“WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO MY SON?!” he yelled in exasperation. He didn’t believe that the thing that Zuri said as a form of her gratitude was his son’s genitalia. “WHERE IS MY SON!?”
Xerxes forgot about his own predicament, as he charged toward Zuri and was about to shift into his beast, but unfortunately, before he could do that, the girl flicked her finger and a small spark was all she needed to stop Xerxes’ assault.
Zuri threw the lighter toward Xerxes, watched him cry in pain, as his transformation was halted and he was trapped between human and his beast form when the flames burned him alive.
“I WILL KILL YOU! I WILL KILL YOU!” he roared in rage and agony, but Zuri did nothing, but stayed in her place, watching him writhe in pain.
Xerxes moved around his own house, trying to put the fire out himself, but that was a waste of effort, if anything the fire seemed to be alive now, licking everything that he touched.
On the other hand, Adel was stunned. She couldn’t do anything but stay still in her place, just like a statue.
The sight of the Alpha, who had been nothing but a tyrant to them, being burned alive was something that she would have never imagined would happen, but it was real and the Alpha now looked so bright with orange fire dancing all over his body.
.....
Adel only returned to reality when she felt someone tugged on her hand and dragged her away from that room, before all the guards filled that bedroom upon hearing the roaring and crying sounds from the Alpha.
“Zuri... Zuri... please... please, I didn’t mean to hurt you,” Adel pleaded to the girl, because she couldn’t free herself from her tight grip and aggravating her by shifting into her beast wouldn’t help with the situation either.
Zuri was a warrior and she was not a match for her strength, whether it was in her human form or in her beast form.
Therefore, when the girl dragged her away from the bedroom, Adel could only cry and watch as a few people entered the room, where the alpha was being burned alive, while she didn’t know what Zuri would do to her.
“Zuri, please... please...” Adel begged her when she threw her into her room, near the kitchen, which she occupied with the other two women.
“Out,” Zuri said grimly to the other two women, but then Adel begged both of them to not leave her alone with Zuri. “I will not repeat my words again.”
The two women could feel the hostility that emanated from Zuri and the moment they met her eyes, chills ran down their spines, as they scurried away from inside of the room, leaving the two of them alone.
“Zuri... I will do anything to make it up to you, please... please don’t hurt me.” Adel fell on her knees when she begged her sincerely for not hurting her.
The woman, the same exact woman that had betrayed her and had lured her to that hut, the woman that she thought would help her.
It was not only her dignity that had been ravaged, but also her hope, her last hope when she still had a little bit of pity and kindness left in her.
However, she killed it. She killed her and now she begged her, as if she was the same person.
Blue died when the McKeltars left her in her uncle’s hands, but now Zuri had died as well last night when all the hope in her had been crushed mercilessly.
“What kind of poison was given to Meredith?” Zuri asked, her face was devoid of any emotions.
“That one... that one...” Adel stammered, but she didn’t dare to lie. “Alpha Xerxes told me to give her a poison to cause her miscarriage.”
Of course, the Alpha wouldn’t want a grandchild from a lowly life like an omega when his son would be an Alpha one day. He wouldn’t want his blood mixed with them.
“Zuri... please...” And then Adel’s eyes widened when she realized why Zuri asked that question. “I still have the poison. I have it here.”
Adel scrambled to her cabinet and yanked one of the drawers, as she sent a few things inside of it scattering on the ground.
“Here... this one...” she immediately snatched a small bottle and gave it to Zuri, kneeling in front of her, while raising the bottle, the only thing that she could offer, in hopes it would appease her anger. “Just one drop of it, just one drop and I am sure you will not carry his child. He will not be able to do anything to you again.”
“He will not.” Zuri took the bottle from Adel’s hand, as she resumed to glare at the woman. “Because he is dead.”
Adel didn’t see what kind of thing that Zuri had thrown at Alpha Xerxes, therefore, she didn’t realize this fact.
“You killed him too?” Adel covered her mouth when she understood what Zuri had done to him. “But... he is... he was your mate.” Out of instinct, she glanced at the mark on Zuri’s neck, it looked swollen and painful to see. “The pain...”
“You don’t need to care about my pain,” Zuri said grimly. She hated it when these people tried to play victim with her.
And then it happened so fast when Zuri grabbed something from beside her and smashed it against Adel’s head.
