514 HIS MATE’S PAST
“What do you think Aaron will do to your shattered soul?” Zuri kept glancing surreptitiously around her, because they were surrounded by people from the organization and this made her a little bit uncomfortable to know that they were not safe here.
Even though there was no way for this human to know that she and Chaos were supernatural creature, but still her instinct told her to not put her guard down no matter what.
On the other hand, Chaos didn’t seem to bother at all with this fact. He could kill them all if he wanted, but then it would put his soul at risk and the darkness inside of him would threaten to come out.
“He wants to gain power.” Chaos had known Aaron for a long time, though there was some point he forgot about his existence, because his memory was a little bit distorted.
Zuri frowned when she heard that, she knew the answer wouldn’t be good. “That devil doesn’t know when to stop. What he will do with so much power?”
Chaos lifted his head to look at Zuri’s fuming face, he stretched out his hand and smoothen the crease between her eyebrows. “Power is the vital part for every plan. No matter what you want, once you get the power, you will be able to do everything.”
Zuri knew about that, but she didn’t like the fact that Chaos looked so calm. This was his nature however, to not show any emotion. But, recently, he was being more and more expressionless.
He almost like someone, who kept everything bottled up. He didn’t want to share it with Zuri and this concerned her.
“The dragon…” Zuri muttered. She lowered her voice because it was not safe to talk about this topic in public, but Chaos had put barrier around them, thus no one would be able to listen to them. “They place them in the heart of the facility, do you think you can reach Killian without anyone noticing it?”
.....
“No.” Chaos forked a piece of meat and brought it to Zuri’s lips because she was thinking too much and barely ate her meal. “There will be a lot of commotion. A fight will be inevitable, especially with Aaron has his hand on this matter.”
The reason why Chaos couldn’t come straight to get to the dragon was because Aaron had put the barrier around the creature, which prevented Chaos from coming closer.
It was either Aaron had joined human with whatever method he used and gained trust enough to make an alliance with them, or he worked on this himself.
Either way, it was not good for them.
“Don’t make that look,” Chaos said, as he put another meat into her mouth. “You can back away…” he stopped because Zuri glared at him viciously when she heard the word. “Of course, I will love to have you close with me, that’s why I bring you here, right?”
Chaos caressed her cheek lovingly, didn’t care with the eyes around them that stared at them being so touchy in the broad daylight.
“You bring me here because I keep pestering you about it and will not leave you alone,” Zuri corrected him.
“And you threatened to come here anyway if I don’t take you,” Chaos reminded her about this part, which made Zuri laughed lightly.
“Well, I am serious about that,” she said between her giggle. This was a rare moment when they could talk lightly like this, despite the knowledge what they would face soon.
“Knox is here,” Chaos said and right at that time, someone came into this restaurant and all the people stared at him because of the sudden dropped of the temperature, he looked colder than usual and from his facial expression they knew it was not a good news.
===========================
“Oh…” Alpha Xerxes widened his eyes when he saw Emily was sitting on the chair, that usually Eros used when he talked to him and from the bright light of this room, he knew that it was in the middle of the day, instead of the dead midnight. “I am surprise to see you…”
Emily fiddled with her fingers, she bit her lips nervously. She didn’t mean to do this, but her impulsiveness got the better of her and here she was.
Before she realized it, she was already sitting there with a syringe in her hand, she was ready to put him back into sleep if she felt this was too much.
“Where is that young lycan…” Xerxes looked around him, but he could see no one there. “Oh, you come here alone without him knowing it?” he cackled when he realized it.
Xerxes was old, weak and useless now, but his brain was still sharp and he could come up with a conclusion pretty quick.
“Do you need… something from me?” he rasped, he looked thrilled because it had been a long time since he involved himself with anything scandalous. “Or do you want to know what I was talking with Eros?”
Emily was not a good liar and this was out of character for her to approach Xerxes and break another rule that was set for her, but she was desperate to know what the reason Eros kept coming to this former alpha.
“I think… I am right…” his breathing ragged and he looked exhausted, but his eyes shone brightly. “I will let you know what we were talking about, but you need to keep this a secret from Eros, what do you think?”
Xerxes despised human and Emily was clearly a human, but he was willing to tip her off, since it would be fun to see what kind of damage he could have done through this young lady.
“I don’t think I need to know that.” Emily was ready to put him into sleep, but then he spoke again.
“Even when he kept asking about his mate’s past?”
