Chapter 85 - Turmoil

As soon as he proclaimed aloud, a flash of an illuminant red flame appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the terrace which brightened up the entire area. Zeus stood still watching the flame with his dark, intense gaze for a few seconds. As soon as the flame disappeared, a tall elegant, figure arrived walking closer to him wearing quite a pair of red high heel shoes, making the tapping sound again. 

This mystic person was no one other than Ivory, standing tall and straight wearing silk embroidered reddish brown full sleeve gown, and glaring at him with her bright red dominant pupils. Her facial expression looked much vexed as if she was badly agitated but trying her best to keep herself composed.

"Ivory, I didn't think you would find me here." He chose to speak first, holding a small mystic smirk.

"Why? Are you so disappointed to find me here?" Immediately, she snapped at him, folding her arms in the arm notch.

"I am not disappointed. I had assumed that maybe I was able to escape from the mansion but I just...didn't expect that you will hunt me down here. I guess I underestimated your powers."

"Too bad that I interrupted your sweet time here with that despicable human. But...both of you were getting on my nerves and that's why I couldn't hold myself back from tapping my heels to disrupt between." Gritting her teeth in anger, she grumbled at him with her eyeballs gradually returning to their normal black form.

"She must be angry with me!" Glancing at her irked eloquence, he wondered inside frowning his face. "Why are you here...Ivory?" Taking a deep breath in, he asked first.

"Don't you think this is something I should ask you first? What the heck you are doing here in such a weak physical state?" Blazing in anger, instantly she snarled at him.

"I know, you must be angry with me--"

"Angry? Haha!" Suddenly, she chuckled with an annoyed gesture averting her eyes away from him and gazing at the radiant bright moon up. "If I hadn't been loving you for so long...I would have already killed you by now. You are testing my patience way too much, Zeus."

Zeus didn't utter a single word and kept his silence for a few seconds, lowering his eyes down on the ground. It was evident to him that her heart was burning in wrath and pain after watching both of them together.

"Ivory, I--"

"Do you even have the slightest idea how madly I was worried for you when I found out your disappearance from your room? Do you even realize how badly my heart was shaken in fear? I...I thought something terrible must have happened to you again! Can you ever realize my sincerity towards you? Can you... damnit!" Unable to suppress her anger, she shrieked out aloud at him. 

"I came here to see, Eva. The way your heart was worried about my safety... I guess it won't be distant for you to realize the emotions I feel towards her. I was...worried about her." Holding a stern face, and looking straight into her eyes he proclaimed in a deep pitch.

"Wahhh..." Hearing out his response, her facial expression turned extremely exasperated as if she was swallowed up inside in wrath, clenching her fist harder. "I want to twist her neck so badly right now!  I want to give that witch a pathetic death as her reward..." She wondered.

"Ivory, You know, I...I am thankful that you have spared her life inside the mansion, also...you kept it a secret apart from everyone else. I...I am grateful--"

"I regret it!" 

All of a sudden, she yelled out stomping her feet on the ground as if she was beaming in rage, unable to suppress it any longer. Zeus, looking a bit perplexed, continued to stare at her intensively, "what?"

"I regret sparing her life! I shouldn't have listened to Czar! I should have torn her gut with my claws at the moment I saw her inside! I should have killed there right at that moment!"

"Ivory, have you lost your mind?" His voice sounded much vicious as he growled at her in a furious voice, swirling his pupils wider.

"Yes, I have lost my mind! I am so scared that someday... you are gonna pay a hefty price for going after that human! I can't bear to watch everything snatched away from you again! I can't bear to watch our pack despising you just because of her! Everything will fall in place if she just dies!" She yelled out in a husky sullen voice which indicated her distressed state of mind.

"Stop it already, Ivo..."

Suddenly, mystic darkness prevailed before his eyes which immediately halted his speech. His mind started to feel dizzy making it difficult for him to stand there. His severely injured abdominal part started twitching in pain and burning sensation along with his legs turning all wobbly. Strangely enough, he started sweating out with a feverish sensation prevailing all over his body.

"What's happening to me? Why...Why am I feeling so weak again?" He wondered while trying to grasp the wall behind him to balance his imbalanced physical state.

Ivory quickly noticed his distorted condition and gulped her saliva down. Instantly started rushing closer to him in fear taking giant footsteps, "Zeus, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

"I...I don't know... I...feel weak again..."

Before he could finish his words, all of a sudden he lost his senses and collapsed down on the ground, making her scream out loud in panic.

"ZEUS! WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING AGAIN?"
