Zuri’s jaw hardened when she replied to that. “You should know why Knox didn’t want to have child, because every child that’s born from shattered soul will be another one of Chaos’s soul.”

She hated to see how crestfallen July’s face right now, but she should have known about this better.

July remembered about Flo, the little girl in the manor, which turned out to be Chaos’s shattered soul. At that time, July was willing to put herself in crossfire, for a child that was not hers, let alone her own child.

Zuri needed to kill her first before she could touch Rhea, which was an easy way for this shifter. She was born to kill and July didn’t even stand a chance against her.

“You can’t keep the child,” Zuri said, she shifted her attention toward the sleeping Rhea and she felt her heart was bleeding too when she imagined how Chaos would suck her life out of her little body.

“No, please…” July whispered, she rushed toward Zuri and dropped to her knees, begging her. “Don’t, don’t say anything about her. I will do everything for you, you can take my life… but not my daughter… please, Zuri… don’t tell anyone about this, don’t tell Chaos or Knox or whoever they are… please,” she implored.

Zuri was floored when she watched July knelt down in front of her, hugging her legs, she didn’t mean in this way…

“Take me, take my life, you can kill me instead, but not her.” She shook her head, tears streamed down her face. “Not my baby… don’t hurt my baby, Zuri, I beg you.”

.....

Zuri had never seen July so upset and distraught like this, even when she chose to leave the McKeltar manor, she was so collected, knowing it was her decision.

But as it turned out, she chose this girl, she chose her daughter and would always choose her.

“Don’t be like this, July,” Zuri said in low voice, she wanted to be callous and numb her feeling, she had promised that she wouldn’t use her heart to deal with this situation, but apparently, she couldn’t even keep that.

She had asked Chaos not to kill Nikolai, asked him not to kill her mate and should she ask him not to kill July’s baby also? And then after that what? This circle would never end, she would keep begging him not to kill them.

And what after that? Chaos would get a backlash of this…

She couldn’t even sure whether this would be the last one or not.

But then, how could she do that to such a young girl? And yet, how many children that had been killed because they were Chaos’s shattered soul during that period of times when she started travel together with Chaos? It was almost a decade… there were countless soul that had been taken away, woman, man, older people and child…

When it would stop, would it stop?

How many time she would put herself in such situation when she had to witness such thing? This wouldn’t be the last.

No. She needed to stick with her original plan, with her own decision.

“July…” Zuri started, but she felt her throat parched and the words that she wanted to say was so hard, she couldn’t bring herself to do it. “July… I…”

July kept shaking her head. Tears streamed down her cheeks, as her face turned bright red. “I know what you are going to say, but please, reconsider it. You know that Rhea will do anything evil. She will not turn into an evil person, I will guarantee that.”

“You know that’s not not the problem here. That’s not the main reason why Chaos needs his shattered soul.” Zuri cupped her face and wiped away her tears, and kissed her forehead. “You are like a sister to me, July, but Chaos…”

Zuri couldn’t finish her word, because July was inconsolable, at this point, she would no longer hear anything that she said.

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

“I really want to punch you on the face, Gael,” Zuri said grimly, she closed her eyes and let Gael drove the car, she didn’t have any energy left to deal with the aftermath of the meeting with July. She wanted to bury her face on the pillow and sleep away all these things that had been bothering her mind.

“I am old already, if you punch me with your supernatural power, I will be dead for sure,” Gael replied dramatically, which made Apple regarded him with nasty look. “What is your plan?”

Zuri really punched him, but on his arm, as he shrieked that he was driving, thus she couldn’t do that, or else both of them would die.

“I am going to survive a mere car accident, my healing ability is top notch!” Zuri growled, but she stopped punching him because she didn’t want to get into another trouble and moreover, River would be sad and they still needed him. “You put this burden on me.”

“I don’t mean in that way,” Gael replied, at least, he genuinely looked apologetic to her. “I can’t bring anyone else to confirm that, because the girl will be died now if I bring Norbeat or Skylar with me.”

“You can bring Knox, he is the father of the child after all.” Zuri glanced at him.

“You know that out of options, he shouldn’t know about it. July had me promised that.”

“You should keep me out of this too,” Zuri complained, but her protest wouldn’t help with anything and now, the problem had reached this point, she didn’t have many options left.

Speak of the devil, when Gael was parking the car, Zuri could see Knox and Chaos walked toward them.
