Chapter 230: Take it or die

" We don’t want to harm you," Bree told the child who was standing in front of her brother in a protective stance. " We are here to help you, I understand that you don’t want to trust us given what you have gone through but I assure you that this potion will help you."

The girl did not move and it was beyond Yakov’s understanding as to why Bree was even trying to talk with the little hellion, she was hissing at Bree like she had every right to, that little girl better be rather happy that she was getting the nicer one to deal with instead of him. If it was him, he would have picked up the little girl and then had her drink the healing potion without any ifs and buts involved. He did not like children and he didn’t like them, even more, when they were stubborn and a little menace.

" Listen to her little girl," when he saw that the little girl was not listening to Bree, his eyes narrowed ever so slightly as he looked at her. " I do not wish to shove that bottle in your mouth or the one lying on the floor either but if you force me then I will do that and I will have you take the potion whether or not you like it."

The little phoenix girl’s eyes sharpened as she looked at him even Bree turned around and looked at him with an annoyed look on her face but Yakov did not care he didn’t like the idea of someone showing off their attitude to the woman he wouldn’t dare to turn a blind eye towards.

Even he did not dare to look at Bree like that and yet this little brat was looking at her like that? How dare she.

" He sure is right about that, sweetheart," Blaise chimed in, even though he was smiling one could see that he was actually threatening the girl on the floor with that dangerous cryptic smile of his. " I will not hurt you but if you so much as try to make a move on my wife then I will surely make sure that you will suffer in a grand manner."

" Oh my god will you two stop?" Bree asked when she saw that the two men behind her were threatening the little girl one after another. She then turned to look at the little girl who was looking at them in a wary manner and then smiled sweetly, " You don’t have to worry about these two men, they are of no importance. If you keep on acting like this then your brother’s injuries will get even more severe do you want that to happen?"

The little phoenix girl bit her lip as she looked at the potion that Bree was showing her, she would be lying if she said that she didn’t want the potion, she did but the thing was that she was well aware of all the dangers that came with trusting shifters, she and her brother trusted a shifter and then the next thing they knew they were locked in this place with their blood being drained every day while the man who was responsible for treating them in this way got even richer day by day, how can she not feel threatened by the kindness of a shifter? She knew that no shifter would help them for no reason at all.

Just as the little girl was thinking whether or not she should think of a way to run away with her brother when these shifters were not paying attention when she suddenly heard the sound of someone unsheathing their claws. The little girl raised her guard up and then looked at the man with long green hair who was staring right back at her with a frown.

Bree on the other hand stood up and looked at Yakov with a confused and determined look on her face. " Don’t do anything unnecessary Yakov."

However, Yakov did not pay attention to her instead he raised his hand and then walked closer to the little girl who flinched but didn’t close her eyes. It seemed like she was determined to save her brother, Bree was going to step in front of the children to save them but then she watched in surprise as Yakov used his claws to scratch his arm so hard that he drew blood.

" What are you doing?" Bree asked him, her eyes wide as she looked at the man in front of her, what kind of self tortured move was this?

" Testament," was all Yakov said as he snatched the potion from her hand and then poured it over his injury, the potion hissed and sizzled but Yakov didn’t even bat an eye at all that and as his hand healed he turned it such that the little girl could see it. " You saw that right? If you don’t want to waste any more of our time then take it and use it to heal your injuries, if you don’t then you can die here as you wish but at least stay alive till we send that duke behind the bars."

The little girl stared at him and then at the potion in his hands before she stretched out her hand to take the potion from him as she haughtily replied, " We are only taking it because I want to be away from this place and want to see that Duke gets punished for what he did."

Bree was sure that Yakov smiled at this his lips twitched and that thin line looked a lot less thin than before as he nodded. " Duly noted, now hurry up we are on a tight schedule at the moment, and your precious little movements would make us lose the hunt that we have caught after preparing for so long."

The little glared at him but nonetheless, she picked the potion from the palm of his hand and then walked over to her brother. Seeing her take the potion, Bree shot Yakov a smile something he responded with a pinch to her waist as he leaned in closer and then whispered, " I will make you reward nicely for this, your majesty, prepare yourself."
