Chapter 64 - Sixty-Three: Blue Eyes

Emily didn't get the chance to scream as a hand immediately covered her mouth, stopping all her protests and painful screams from escaping her mouth.

However, she felt her body relaxing immediately as the scent of pines mixed with something sweet and sour, entered her system.

It was such a unique and special scent that she could not help but inhale more of it, completely forgetting about her situation.

If it was not for the voices that were lewdly calling out for her, she would probably have ended up losing herself in that intoxicating smell that belonged to the man who was standing behind her.

As the reality returned and her mind started working once again, she did not waste to turn around to face towards the man who was holding her as she tried to pull herself out of his hold.

However, the moment she turned around to look at him, her eyes collided with his piercing blue eyes that were staring right back at her.

A small gasp escaped her lips as she registered the beautiful dark cerulean outline that was highlighting his irises.

Those eyes looked so enchanting and abnormal as if they did not belong to a mortal. But at the same time, they looked as normal as they could.

Other than those mesmerizing eyes, she was unable to see the rest of his face as a beautiful silver mask was hiding his identity behind its cover.

The man was tall, possibly 6'3" or 6'4", and was covered in dark black leather clothes that were partially hidden beneath the huge cloak that was draped over his profile.

His intimidating height and appearance made Emily looked like a mere child in front of him. However, rather than getting scared of this newcomer, she was feeling much more relaxed and safe even though it was completely stupid on her part to be thinking like that.

"W-wh....."

"Ssssh....!" 

Emily didn't get the chance to complete her sentence as a long slender finger ended up sealing her lips as the man softly hushed her into silence.

And it was then that she realized that her kidnapper and his men had caught up to them.

"What a bad luck you have, sweetheart! You escaped from us only to end up in the hands of even a more lethal person. Haha...." 

Emily shuddered at the words of the man with silver hair, the same one who abducted her, and the echoes of laughter that followed his words made her recoil even more.

Instinctively she took a step back to put some distance between herself and the blue-eyed man, however, she got stopped by the tight hold on her arms that immediately pulled her back towards the masked man.

"Which one of them hurt you?" 

The sudden question shocked her as Emily tried to process that the soft spring-like voice that her ears registered just now actually belonged to the owner of those ethereal eyes. 

"Huh?" She obviously sounded stupid and clueless.

On the other hand, the blue-eyed man could barely control his inner powers as they struggled to burst out and destroy those who dared to hurt the girl in his arms.

The only thing that was helping him stay sane was the sweet and addicting scent that was enveloping Emily.

Her presence calmed him and made his out-of-control powers realize that his priority was to protect her. He could not scare her with his ruthless behavior.

She looked so small and innocent as she looked up at him with confused eyes.

Even in the darkness that was covering the forest, he could clearly see the blood that was covering the right corner of her lips.

His hands tightened on her shoulder but unconsciously, he still made sure not to hurt her even a little bit.

"Hey! I know you are one of the members of SA. You don't need to interfere in this situation. SA has always stayed out of the matters of the city and the creatures that venture here. You can just hand over the girl and we all will be fine." The man with silver hair said as he pointed at the girl.

The blue-eyed man immediately felt the changes in the girl that appeared because of the nonsense words that her attacker just vomited.

Neither did he nor his inner self liked the fear that suddenly took over the girl as she stared at him with her huge crystal-like eyes.

He could no longer deny the truth that was clearly visible in front of his eyes. The truth that his soul had known for some time by now, was finally standing in front of his very eyes, announcing its arrival.

He had no idea what kind of game fate was playing with him or what else it had in store for him, all that he knew and cared about was that he was not about to let his cruel fate destroy his life once again.

His eyes shifted towards the group of men who were standing just at a little distance away from him and his girl.

Of course, none of those pathetic men dared to come anymore closer to him. They all were pretty aware that their life would be in danger if they ended up on the wrong side of SA.

Unfortunately, the moment they touched Emily, they lost any kind of forgiveness from the SA.

"You can have chosen anyone in this entire world to carry out this filthy revenge of yours. But you dared to lay your finger on her. You all sure hate yourself too much, right!" His eyes shone with dark promises as his cold sharp tone filtered through the ire silence of the forest.

Emily stared at the masked man with wide eyes as his words registered in her mind. Surely, her kidnappers were n different. Just like her, they had no idea what the masked man was actually trying to say.

Was he one of her brother's men? The question immediately popped into her mind. However, no one could answer her question, except the person in question himself.

Neither did she nor her attackers got the chance of voicing out their questions, as the very next second their surrounding filled with a bright firey light and ear-piercing screams filled the huge forest.
