Free Web NovelChapter 73: Chapter 73
Henri looked up from a downed Rowe to Seton who was walking over and tutting.
"Did he do anything to you?" He asked calmly but it did nothing to hide the rage in his voice.
Henri’s voice was caught in his throat; Rowe was somewhat predictable, an Alpha with a bruised ego who expected every Omega to fall over their feet for him but Seton... Seton was much worse.
For one, he looked far too collected for someone who had just stabbed a person.
Henri watched with his heart in his throat as Seton crouched slightly to wipe the blood off his legs with the sleeve of his shirt, tutting again at Henri’s bloodstained shirt.
The moon was coming out now so it was brighter somewhat and Henri could clearly see the expression on Seton’s face as he looked him over. When he ascertained that Henri was untouched, he turned his attention to Rowe again.
Henri got an ominous feeling at this, he was certain that Seton was about to finish up what he started. He had literally only taken a break to check up on Henri.
Henri forced himself to speak now, Rowe was perhaps a little stupid but he wouldn’t murder anyone. "I-I’m fine." He said in a faint voice he couldn’t recognize. "You don’t have to..."
Seton turned to him with a frosty look in his eyes. "Are you trying to protect him?"
Henri nearly swallowed his tongue at Seton’s tone. He was smart to fear Seton more because his tone practically stated that if Henri didn’t do as he wanted he would also get a knife in his side.
"N-No." He said in a shaky voice, suddenly aware of the blood that had stained his shirt, it was just so much blood.
Seton paused, he glanced at Rowe and then back at Henri. Although rage had filled his veins with lava, he could still think clearly.
Henri just didn’t know it yet but he belonged to Seton and he wasn’t going to let another Alpha come close to him.
He had been patient, hadn’t he? He had been polite and done everything by the books so why wasn’t he still getting what he wanted?
He walked up to Henri and got even angrier at the fear in his big grey eyes. "Are you scared of me?" He whispered.
Henri gulped, was this a trick question? "It’s hard not to be when you’re holding a bloody knife." He answered honestly, sarcasm lightly coating his words.
Seton looked at the knife still held in his hands in an offensive position like he had forgotten it was there. "Right, sorry." He muttered, tossing the knife over a shoulder.
Henri winced when the knife went straight for Rowe’s head. Seton had clearly done that on purpose and he was certain that the knife nicked Rowe’s face. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
His concern for the downed Alpha evaporated when Seton came even closer, but he couldn’t let his fear show because that seemed to anger him for some reason. How did Errol even manage to fall in love with him? He was clearly insane.
Henri tried not to flinch when Seton held his face, bile rising up his throat when his other arm encircled his waist.
What was it with some Alphas thinking they could just do as they liked with an Omega?
Seton leaned in close till their noses were brushing, his gaze steady. "Who do you belong to?"
Henri was flabbergasted once more that night. Was this another trick question? Or had Seton finally snapped and gone completely insane?
What was he even supposed to answer to that?
"I’ll pardon you since it’s the first time." Seton said when Henri gave no response, there was a vacant look in his eyes like he was talking to someone else and not Henri.
"We’ll be going on a little trip tonight," Seton said, his grip around Henri’s waist tightening painfully.
Henri wanted to pull his hair out, was he about to be kidnapped for the second time in a single night?
He gagged silently when Seton forced their lips together, a satisfied look in his eyes as he stepped back so they could begin their journey.
This time, Henri saw it coming but it still didn’t prepare him. He closed his eyes shut tightly when the rock made an impact with the base of Seton’s skull.
This time, however, his situation wasn’t worsening because Errol was the one brandishing the rock, his pale blue eyes blazing.
Blood splashed on Henri’s face this time, the scent of iron nauseating him. His knees wobbled but he forced himself to stay on his feet, opening his eyes just as Errol brought down the rock again on Seton’s head.
Henri couldn’t blame him, he would have done the same because while the first hit should have knocked out the average person, Seton had been reaching out for the pocket knife he had discarded.
After the second hit, the psychopath finally stayed down and the only ones left standing were Errol and Henri.
"Are you okay?" Henri asked before Errol could recover long enough to say a word.
Errol panted harshly, staring down at his bloody fingers like he didn’t know how the blood got there. "I should be asking you that."
He finally took a step forward at the same time that someone called out Errol’s name, it was Nael, and Errol immediately responded.
The space immediately brightened as the three monsters with Dio in tow stumbled to the spot they were in. They had lit lamps and brought them along so it was easier to see.
"What the..." Audie started to curse, Valentin losing the lamp he held.
Nael pretended not to see the bloodied bodies of unconscious Alphas on the ground right beside his feet, beelining straight for Errol who seemed to have frozen up in shock.
Almost at the same time, Louis stepped out of the woods from a different direction, Henri’s name on the tip of his tongue.
While the others had been shell-shocked by the scene before them that they could hardly make a move, Louis immediately hurried over to Henri. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Henri stepped away from the tree he had been leaning up against at the same time, finally breaking free from his shock only for his legs to fail him, his vision going dark.
