The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 376 Miracles of A Forbidden Bond

[JER]

Jeremiah Warner was still scared about what the future held for him. He knew the Russel siblings would let him go at any point in time and if she was being honest with himself, Jer didn't know where he would go to.

He was aware that there was no place that he would ever be able to use to hide from Awor Hawi, if not here with the Russels. He could have had an advantage if Hawi was scared of the fact that he had been sworn to kill her, but then Hawi wasn't even worried about shit.

Jer knew Hawi would crush him in seconds and that got him wondering how to be the good side of the Rusel siblings. He had tried to trigger a conversation about Amina last night and it didn't end as well for him because Sebastian simply pretended that Jeremiah didn't exist.

Today, he would try again, because he needed to know when his usefulness to the team was about to end and find a way out before they cast him aside without so much as a severance fee for all the shit he had endured for them.

It was a huge gamble for Jeremiah, but what else could he do when his life was already going to shit at the moment?

"You're here again?" Seb asked Jer who was seated at the balcony taking the office door that had been locked.

Seeing how the operations of the Russel siblings were most mobile, they had a truck as their office and were driven to their next destination from the warehouses they started at.

They never spent more than three weeks anywhere because they were sure Hawi would find them. As much as they appreciated a battle with the psycho alpha, they seemed to love their lives more, so they didn't have time for stupid decisions.

"I just wanted to see if you needed anything," Jer said and Sebastian scoffed. He had seen this tactic on too many times and as much as it was tiring, it was something that he knew encouraged Jeremiah Warner to do most of their dirtiest work.

It was like Jer was disposable and maybe he owns that too. But then again, Jer still needed their help with Hawi. He needed to kill Hawi with his bare hands so the task that Atticus bound his life to would be completed and he would be free again.

Sebastian was sort of a bully, but then with Atticus and Nik missing, someone had to step up and be there for their family and protect them, especially now that they had a new kid on the block.

"You still call me wolf even after all this time," Jer chuckled sadly as he looked at the woman who had just walked in.

She looked like every other Russel sibling. She was dressed in all black, had power oozing from and looked like she could break Jer with her tongue and no one would question shit.

She looked different, but she wasn't stupid enough to try and question her. Amina had temper issues and she was the most irrational of the Russel siblings. Sebastian may have been the most powerful, but Amina?

She was wild and crazy and everything in between. Even Sebastian was scared of Amina Russel. Amina reminded Jer of the psychotic Sicario girl, which was why Jer had been apprehensive about Amina not returning to them.

Birds of a feather did flock together and Jer was aware that it was just a matter of time before Amina broke his neck for doing something stupid. He wasn't safe with the Russels and yet at the same time, with these people, he was safe from Hawi.

What choice did he relay the time?

"Aren't you a wolf? Anyway, why are you here? Haven't found ways to kill your ex yet?" Amina asked nonchalantly, making Jer wonder what was going on in this woman's head.

She was always blunt with him, like the world could go to shit and she would still be alive to see the mess and the beauty of the chaos that would unfold later on. She was wild, but she was everything that Jer was considering seeking help from.

"Still thinking. You reek of her by the way. I bet she hugged you or made you come here like this? Are you a puppet, Amina?" Jer asked and in seconds, he was on the ground, right in front of the incoming truck, and he crashed while Amina smiled, proud of herself.
