Carnivals: Claimed By The Deranged Alpha Prince [BL]-Chapter 264: Leverage

Jules’ pov

Blaze was wiping my hands with his shirt, but they didn’t come off. I felt numb all over. The urge to cry was at the back of my throat but I refused to give into it.

When I wanted to stare at Taylor’s body again, I hesitated while my stomach twisted with disgust at myself and immense regret, but as soon as the hesitation came, it disappeared, leaving me numb once again.

Taylor was still in the same position, and as I stared at his body, a bunch of thoughts swirled within me.

"Do you regret it?" Blaze asked from behind me and after long minutes, I shook my head.

"No."

I don’t regret it, not after how much he played in my face. He deserves to die for everything he did to me.

When I glanced back at Blaze, my lips wobbled a little.

"Do you think I’m a monster for not regretting?" I asked and he instantly shook his head. He took my hand which still had a little blood on it and rested it against his cheek.

"Not a monster at all. You did the right thing, and he deserved it after everything. You’ll never become a monster, you’ll always be my little bunny."

I let out a slow exhale, eyes stinging a little as I walked forward and wrapped my arms around him in a tight hug.

Blaze was so perfect and at this point, I was in love with him.

Kai was tied up when I emerged from the side of the trailer along with Blaze, and Xander was crouched beside him.

As I stared at Xander, anger twisted within me. He was one of the bane of my existence back at school and a few images flashed through my mind of him almost raping me and the amount of times he traumatized me in elevators, then that time in the bathroom along with Kai.

I let out a long breath just as he rose to his feet and stepped away from Kai.

Roy was pacing around and Blaze walked up to him.

I stood still for a few moments, and then I walked towards Kai and crouched beside him.

"Pretty bo–" He began to croon but I slapped him so hard that his head whipped to the side.

The shock was evident in his eyes when our eyes locked again.

"What the–" He began again but I slapped him harder and my hand rang with pain this time.

"The fuck are you slapping me fo–" I cut him off with a slap that made his lips burst open, and when his eyes locked with mine this time, a glare twisted his features.

"You can only do this because I’m tied up anyway, and to think my intentions were to protect you this whole time." He spat out and I scoffed, glancing at the sky for a moment and then I gripped his face tightly when I glanced back at him.

"You stupid psycho,. You knew who I was this whole time, didn’t you? Just like Taylor, you also knew who my father was. And you dare claim to have been protecting me?" I screamed into his face but before he could say anything else, I began to slap him from both sides of his face, not stopping till tears were rolling down my face while my heart ached with so much feeling of betrayal.

When Blaze tugged me away and held me against his chest, I clung to him tightly as I sobbed against him, uncaring of the audience. This was me finally breaking down after all what has been happening since the shock of me discovering that my father was behind the massacre that ruined my life.

After I managed to calm down, I was too weak to do anything but to just stand and watch as Blaze forced out information from Kai whose face was a mess.

"Kim is with your father, I’m serious! Which is why you can’t kill me even if you want to, because if you do, Kim also dies." He slurred because Blaze gave him firm punches minutes before.

"My father doesn’t care about you, I bet he won’t care if I kill you right now. It’s why he never declared you his heir." Blaze informed him and he chuckled, blood dripping from his mouth.

"You- you’re right, he doesn’t care about me despite how much I try to please him, that- that asshole. B- but he’s still gonna kill Kim if you kill me, so..."

Blaze stared at him for a few seconds and then he punched Kai in the face over and over again, and he didn’t stop until Kai lost consciousness.

When he rose to his feet, he motioned to Roy and asked him to put Kai in the booth of the car, and that he was coming with us.

His knuckles were bloody and I instantly wanted to make him feel better. When I shrugged out of my jacket and used it to dab at his knuckles, Xander slowly approached us.

"How are you here?" Blaze asked him and he shrugged.

"Got a text from Kai. Before Kim got kidnapped, he reached out to me because I’ve told him to do that whenever he was in danger, so I knew something was off when I didn’t hear from him anymore." He explained and I peered at him, mouth in a scowl.

"Cool. You can leave now. I have it under control." Blaze told him but he remained in the same spot.

"I... I want to apologize for all that has happened between us." He began, shocking me to the core.

"If you must know, that wasn’t me, it was all my father." He grumbled.

"Your father was also why you gave my mate a hard time? And why you almost forced yourself into his pants?" Blaze asked bluntly and my cheeks burned as Xander cleared his throat.

"That was well, because... I- I... well, he came onto me first!" He argued and Blaze scoffed.

"Sadly, I do not care about your excuses. I also don’t accept your apology. You can leave whenever you want to."

"What are we gonna do next?" I asked as I tugged on my hair. Roy was on his laptop, Blaze was smoking a cigarette and the other person sitting at the far end of the couch – named Kendrick, looked like he won a trophy when Blaze told him Kai was held captive in one of the rooms here.

"Are you gonna kill him today?" He asked eagerly, and I still found it hard to believe that this man was Kai’s older brother.

"Not yet, not until Kim is found." Blaze explained.

"Can I go have a conversation with him?" He asked next.

"You’re only going to gloat to him, so no, I called you over here because I need you to do something for me." Blaze informed him and he leaned forward.

"What’s that? I’m all ears."

~~~

"Will you end up reaching out to your father?" I asked Blaze that night in the kitchen and Blaze sighed.

"If I do, all he’d do is to attempt to strike a stupid deal." Blaze explained.

"What if you hear him out and use the same moment to check if Kim is alright and still alive.

Blaze didn’t want to do it but he ended up giving in to my request.

His father picked up on the first ring. freewebnoveℓ.com

"If you’re calling to find out if I’m working with my dear friend who happens to be your mate’s father, the answer is yes. He told me you accompanied his son to come see him yesterday and in case you’re curious, he doesn’t like you getting his son at all. I spoke to him a few hours ago and he told me he’d have preferred me for his son compared to you."
