Chapter 147: I AM SCARED

"Get Jeremy here," Seara said. She grabbed Chloe’s hand.

"Why? He is fine; he is with his friends." Chloe didn’t like it when she was told what to do, especially by Seara. "Did you forget to take your med?"

But Seara became even more frantic when she heard that. "Get him here!"

"Okay, okay, you don’t need to yell at me." Chloe stood up. She glared at Seara while Leia was trying to calm her down.

And when Chloe was about to walk out of the room, Zade and Zephyr entered. She almost bumped into the king’s sturdy body, but Zade stepped aside to avoid her smoothly and went to his mate.

"Geez, not even a hello," Chloe grumbled, and when she was about to step out, she bumped into Altair this time. "Can you watch where you are going?" She complained to her king, but Altair moved her to the side so he could enter the room.

"Go back home; your father has been looking for you."

"No." Chloe then stormed to Jeremy’s room. She didn’t like to be told what to do.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Zade immediately came to Seara; he held her closely as she tried to articulate what she felt. This dreadful feeling was even stronger than anything else.

"Zade... something—someone..." She was stuttering. "I am scared."

"Did you see something? Someone?" Zade held her against his chest, his arms wrapped around her like a shield, to ensure that she was alright.

"No." Seara shook her head. She felt like she was about to go crazy with how hard she tried to explain what she felt.

"Is there someone else here?" Zade asked Leia. He rushed here when he heard Seara was having an episode.

Aside from Sybill and Sheena, Zade had his own suspicion that the other figures Seara saw all this time were the devils.

Because whenever Seara described Sybill and Sheena, those two would have the same characteristics as her. Auburn hair with hazel eyes. She was projecting herself onto them.

Meanwhile, the people that she saw during the first attack in the residence and when they were on a date were not the same.

He might read it too deeply, but Zade couldn’t brush off his instinct.

"Jeremy’s friends are here. Jude and Oliver. You know them."

Zade knew Oliver’s and Jude’s families; they were human, but their parents’ companies were his business partners.

"Zeph." Zade looked at Zephyr, who understood what he wanted. He immediately left the room, and Altair told Jazz to come with Zephyr, as he stayed there, observing Seara.

It was unheard of for someone to have the ability to sense the devil; it was even more unbelievable when it came from a runt.

Altair was still thinking Seara was having a normal breakdown. He had read information about her and learned she had been held in the psychiatric ward for a few months.

Therefore, she was not someone who could be trusted, especially given what was on her mind.

However, Zade seemed to believe her. Well, both of them were crazy. What did you expect?

"Can you come tonight? It has been a while since we hung out together." Jude drank his soda and stared at Jeremy with interest.

"I don’t think I can go out for the time being. There are a few things that I have to do." Jeremy lay down on the bed next to Oliver.

"What are you doing?" Oliver sat down; he felt agitated because Jeremy just refused to bring Seara here and let her join them. He wanted to see her.

"Well, taking over the family’s business. I will start my internship in the company to know what to do," Jeremy lied smoothly.

He couldn’t say the truth about what happened in the residence, since they were not shifters. They wouldn’t understand...

"Good." Jude then lay down next to Jeremy, so he was in the middle now, and the bed was too small for the three of them.

Therefore, Jeremy was about to sit down and move, but Jude held his hand. "What are you doing, dude?" Jeremy laughed when he saw Jude intertwine their fingers, which made him unable to push himself into a sitting position.

All of a sudden, Jude kissed his inner wrist. Jude’s lips, which touched his skin, felt so cold, as if an ice cube were pressed against his skin.

"What the fuck?" Jeremy tried to pull his hand away, but for some reason, Jude’s grip was too strong. And when Jeremy tried to push him away, Oliver held his other hand and shoulders to keep him down on the bed. "What the hell are you doing? Get off me!" He tried to push them away, but to no avail.

He had this weird feeling like his energy was being drained from his body, and he was having a hard time breathing. The room was spinning, and he could hear someone chanting strange words. Was he hallucinating?

Both Oliver and Jude were talking, yet Jeremy couldn’t figure out whether they were talking to each other or to him.

He felt his body was weird.

But before he lost consciousness, suddenly someone kicked open the door, and Chloe’s angry voice echoed in the room.

"I am so upset!" Chloe said loudly, but then she realized something was off. "What are the three of you doing?" She wanted to complain about Seara but caught sight of Oliver and Jude hovering above Jeremy.

The two of them immediately moved away under Chloe’s eyes.

"What is it?" She tried to think of all the possibilities, and then something seemed to click in her mind, and she widened her eyes dramatically. "I know you are young and want to explore a lot of things, but at least lock the door before you try to experiment with something."

"What?" Jeremy pushed himself into a sitting position; his head was spinning. "No, it’s not like that." He glared at Oliver and Jude.
