Chapter 212
212 MY SISTER
Emily clutched onto Eros like a baby koala in the backseat of the car, while Eros hugged her and prevented her from looking out of the window, since the view out there was not something that you would like to remember.
Meanwhile, the man named Liam, who apparently was the Alpha of the biggest pack in this realm, was sitting next to Emily. He would glance at Emily and Eros every now and then, until the little girl’s breathing became even and her cries had died down, leaving her with small hiccups. Only then did Liam finally talk to Eros.
“Is she your mate?” Liam asked without preamble and he could feel the two pack members, who were sitting in the front, pay attention to this question, while unfortunately, the other three were in a different car.
Damon, the beta, stole a glance from the rearview mirror, wanting to know what the answer would be, since it was not something common to see a shifter take care of a little human child.
“No. She is my sister,” Eros answered, putting his small arms around her body protectively. He might be small, but when he was in his beast form, he managed to take down a few members of The Hound.
Liam would remember in his mind to not belittle him because of his age and appearance.
“Your sister?” Damon chimed in, he couldn’t help it. “She is a human, you know that, right? There is no way you have a human sister.”
Eros said nothing, he didn’t like to be questioned and neated the blanket around Emily’s body. She still smelled like trash and needed to take a bath quickly before this bad smell stuck to her for a long time.
This was one thing that irritated Damon and the others, because of her smell. As shifters, they had this strong sense of smell, thus Emily’s bad smell really pissed them off.
.....
“If you don’t want to answer that, you don’t need to, but...” Liam said, but didn’t continue until Eros turned his head and looked at him. “Our world and hers are very different. She will have a hard time fitting into the pack that is filled with shifters, since she is a human. Therefore, I have a suggestion for you.”
Eros narrowed his dark blue eyes, which reminded Liam of something, but he couldn’t recall it.
“Why don’t we let her live with humans? We can drop her in the nearby safe place, where humans or the members of The Hound can find her and give her a normal life that she can have as a human.” Liam tried to make Eros see this thing from his perspective. He believed that this young shifter was smart enough to understand it.
However, Eros shook his head. “No,” he said firmly, even when he was only a small boy, the aura around him was so strong, the aura that could only belong to an alpha... or a leader.
Even Damon could feel it.
If Liam didn’t put him under his thumb and got control of him, he would be a threat to his position as an alpha within years...
“Why?” Liam asked, in the most gentle tone.
“Humans are not different from shifters. They are capable of being even worse than us shifters.”
======================
Jasmine gritted her teeth when she drove toward Lucinda city, where they put all the people that they could save from the nearby cities, which had been attacked by those supernatural creatures.
She still had tears in her eyes when she drove closer to checkpoint one, where she was stopped and five men aimed their guns at her, knocking on her window, demanding her to get out of the car.
However, instead of getting out of her car, Jasmine just rolled down the window glass after wiping away her remaining tears harshly.
“Where is Archie Williams?” Jasmine asked with her hoarse and stern voice. She looked at the guard with her sharp eyes for stopping her. She was simply in a bad mood and was not in the situation where she could tolerate being asked questions.
“Ah, Ms. Williams!” The guard was startled but he recovered soon as he saluted her who was then followed by the others, as they put down their guns immediately.
After all, Jasmine was the most important person after her father in this organization, thus no one wouldn’t know who she was. “My apologies for my rudeness.”
Jasmine waved her hand to dismiss that apology. “Where is my father?” she asked. She needed to talk to him. The guard told her that he was in an meeting an hour ago in the Williams family house. “Sol is also there?”
The guard looked conflicted when he heard this, but then he spoke the truth. “Mr. Williams went to the headquarters of The Hound.”
Jasmine furrowed her brows when she heard that. “How could he go there? That facility had been destroyed.”
But then, even before the guard replied to her question, she already got her own answer.
What else her stupid younger brother would do except go running to save his baby girl from the chaos that happened there?
Jasmine hoped both of them would die there miserably, so they could have each other for eternity. The organization was better off without Sol after all.
He contributed nothing, while Jasmine and their father had to work their asses off to figure out the fastest way to get rid of all the supernatural creatures from this realm.
With that in her mind, she drove off and entered Lucinda city without any problem. As it turned out, her father had locked the whole city down and built barriers around it, making this city their battle ground.
Things only became more and more serious.
Jasmine toughened herself up and stilled her heart, repeatedly telling herself that her decision to leave Liam was the right decision.
Their relationship was only a fling and Jasmine didn’t need that non- human being.
