Chapter 270: Someday… Someday You Will Understand
[SICARIO]
[Fifty-six months ago]
When Jer reached Luna Eniola, he looked at her, the mother of his mate. Granted the mate bond wasn't real, but this woman had been their caregiver for years. He hated that this was happening but what other choice did he have?
"I'm so sorry… I wish I had another choice," Jer said before he swung his blade and struck Luna, only for Eniola to catch the blade and shock Jer. It all happened so fast that the action that day still haunted Jeremiah.
He had never imagined that Eniola would see him because he could have sworn they were still glamorized. Razia who was watching was also in shock, maybe because she hadn't expected this too.
Well, this war the white wolf's mother surely didn't expect that she had the sight to see through glamorous, right? It was the worst miscalculation on their part, but that didn't matter so much, because no one could see them.
"Took you long enough and even then you couldn't store. What a pity," Luna Eniola said as she held the blade in her hands, even though she had caught it on the sharp side. The pain was stinging, but none more than the betrayer.
"Hello Razia… SO much for friendship, huh?" Eniola said and Razia stared at her best friend. She found this wasn't the best way for them to form their friendship, but then there was a ticking time bomb in Sicario that needed to be slowed down.
They needed to buy more time to get a solution and what better way was there for them other than to attack the centerpiece? With the queen out, the chess board would be easy to overtake. But was this the right queen?
"It's not personal, Eni. Your daughter is going to be the end of us all and the only way to make sure that she doesn't ruin all the places we have, is to make sure that you're out of the chessboard.
"But you already knew that when you came to me about your husband and Dom months ago, right? You knew I was out for the girl and you wanted to thwart it. So, you came and planted the idea in my head because you knew it had to happen.
"For someone so dedicated, you couldn't even change your own fate, oh Eni," Razia said as she looked around. She always loved Eniola but her survival and that of her people was important.
She needed to make the hard decisions even if that was a choice that would shunt her for the longest time. Nothing would ever be the same without Eniola Sicario, but then she would be affected too.
Surely that had to count for something at the moment, right?
"So, you let a kid come after me? Are you that weak, Razia? Or are you hoping I wouldn't be able to fight this kid because he's Awuor's mate?" Luna Eniola asked as she twisted Jer's arm and broke it, making the wolf scream out.
However, Razia's magic around the suite was blocking anyone from seeing it. And the fact that they were glamorized was making it a little bit easier because no one would be able to see them either way.
"And imagine how good it will sound when the Sicario warriors learn that this kid was the same one who took you out… they won't know but well, it's worth noting, right?" Razia said as she watched Jer as if to tell him that he needed to get up.
Begruntled, Jer pulled himself from Eniola's grip and twisted back his hand the right way, before he began fighting the luna. Now that the blade was not going to be used, he had to figure out a way to make things work.
The young wolf did not stand a chance with Luna, but he had to be at his best. Thankfully, Razia was giving him a magical boost. But even with all that, Eniola Sicario was a hard catch.
"You people are dragging this on for long. Move, Jeremiah," Razia said before she clawed Eniola's neck. It was too deep and Luna didn't fight her.
Instead, she maintained eye contact with her best friend, wondering when their friendship had come to this. It was not fair to Eniola but then what else could have been done? Her fate had long been decided anyway.
"Why the fuck do you do that!!" Jer said as he paced around, he couldn't believe that Razia had clawed Luna's neck, with Jeremiah's claws. This was the worst of them all. There would be proof with Jeremiah all over it, and there was no coming out for this.
Whatever dreams Jer had; he saw them fade into the distance his hands were covered in blood. He couldn't believe that this was happening for real. This was crazy and unhinged and fucked up and he didn't even know how else to describe it.
So, he watched helplessly as the Luna fell to the ground, not even bothering to ask for help. He couldn't believe this and was in shock. Jer felt like his world was coming apart, and that he had no way out of this. He was scared in all the ways to hell.
If Awuor found out about this, he would be doomed, at least that much he knew.
"Change your clothes, stupid," Razia said as she threw some clothes at Jer.
The poor man was still in shock and not even sure what he needed to do, but then he had to do what Razia wanted. So defeatedly he changed his clothes, as he watched the luna bleed.
He could still save Luna Eniola and let her wolf heal her, but then there was that blade on her neck. The blade stopped her blood vessels from closing up and even making her werewolf powers be in play.
This was the cruelest thing Jeremiah had ever been a part of and he despised himself for that. He hated that there was no other way out of this. He hated that even to this point; he couldn't save the woman who meant something to his Awuor.
Oh, how his heart hurt.
"What do we do now? We can't leave her like this!" Jer said, trying to argue with the fact that leaving the woman here would be the most dangerous of decisions for them all. If Awuor came and saw them, then they would be scared.
"No, we won't leave her like that. Drag her body to the dark corridor over there and pull the curtains close. Make sure that no one can see her from there. I'll clean the blood, unless you want to clean the blood," Razia said and Jer sighed.
He was never going to have a voice after this and he owned it. He had just sold whatever was left of his soul to Razia and there was no getting it back. So definitely, he looked at the woman on the ground and apologized silently. Read new chapters at m_v-l'e|-NovelBin.net
"She's still alive?" Jer asked when he dragged Eniola and felt her hand holding his leg. It was a grip so tight even as her claws came out and punctured Jer's ankle. It was something that would take a while to heal and Jer despite that.
Then again, was that the least of his worries or was he just in deep shit on his own this time?
"Of course. She is going to be like that," Razia chuckled darkly.
