Chapter 179 - AMBUSHED

Zuri hardly could concentrate with their plan. It was an easy and simple thing to do, that didn't need a long explanation, but surely you must be very careful with it.

However, her mind wondered and she found herself kept staring at the frozen lake, which was not too far from where she was standing right now.

The surface of the frozen lake was so dark, but when the light of the moon reflected on it, it glistened like mirror. It was beautiful, but in eerie senses, while there were a lot of heavy machines that were put around the river bank, as those people was trying to drill the ice.

It was a bad timing to doze off or to put your focus in somewhere else, but then Zuri couldn't help it, it felt like someone was trying to call her and she was not able to keep ignoring the call.

"I want you to focus," July warned her sternly when she saw Zuri was staring at the distance once again. She literally glared at her and she knew, once they were out of this place, she would get more than a scold from her.

On the other hand, Zuri said nothing, since she was aware the fault was on her right now. She shook her head and tried to focus on the matter at hand.

For now, they walked stealthy toward three magnificent machine that looked like an iron monster and was about to put the detonator on it.

It was a simple mission that didn't need to have many people in it, while the other people would place another detonator in their viands and weapons tents.

The explosion would ruin those scientists plan and made them postpone whatever they were going to do in this lake.

Not to mention that July got the whole blueprint on this site, so she knew where the fatal point for the explosion and so did with the watch time for all the guards. It made them easier to move.

Zuri wouldn't start asking where she got all of that, since she believed July knew more than she let people knew.

"I got it," Zuri whispered to the communication device on her ear, as she watched Nathen raised his thumb in the distance.

"We need to go out now." July voiced came out from the communication device and all of them murmured something like; got it.

For now, Zuri was with Nathen, while July was with Sebastian and the other three men were on different places of this facility.

"You will wake him up," Hades said, he appeared all of sudden behind Zuri and this almost made her shrieked.

"What happened?" Nathen asked her when she dropped her things and immediately came to her side to help her collected all her belongings and put them on her bag. "Are you okay?"

"What happened?" Came July's voice from the device.

"She is all right," Nathen said, as he stared at Zuri, who was nodding her head and murmured to inform the other.

"I am all right." Zuri casted Hades a dagger look, but the god of the underworld had his eyes fixed on the eerie dark lake, which she couldn't help, but follow his line of sight. Her heart was beating so fast against her chest, until it was so painful for her to breath.

"Let's go," Nathen said quickly once they were done, he took her arms and helped her to stand up, but Zuri tensed all of sudden, as she shoved him to the side very harshly.

At first, Nathen was not aware about what was happening, but then he saw a few people came to them and Zuri was fighting a man with a knife in his hand.

They were ambushed. Their plan was known. Their plan was failed.

Zuri shifted into her white beast when she saw that they were outnumbered and there was no way for them to fight them off without anyone getting injured.

However, that was at that time when Zuri shifted into her beast and all of her senses were amplified, she could feel it. It was him and the were close…

She could smell his scent from here.

====================   

Eros was sitting outside of the hospital wards, waiting for Emily, while the man, their neighbor was talking to a nurse and buy him the medicine.

"Where the hell did that couple go?" he asked in annoyance, as he handed the medicine to Eros. "You can go home tomorrow, but I can't stay for the night, I have important thing to do," he grumbled, but at least he helped.

"Thank you…" Eros murmured and then felt the man put something on her pocket jacket, it was money, not much, but was enough for him to buy meal and to take Emily home by car.

"Take care," the bald man walked away from him, said nothing anymore and Eros watched him  until his big and tall body disappeared at the corner, only then he entered the ward and curled his body on the small chair there.

He had to endure this painful sleeping position until a few hours later when Emily woke up and he could take her home.

Thankfully, early in the morning her condition was fine and after ate breakfast, Eros took her home.

Inside the taxi, she was falling asleep again and curled her body against Eros, as she clutched onto his jacket.

The riding home was very silence…

He was glad that Emily was alive, because he thought she would die and he had to face their parent alone.

=====================   

Zuri looked at July, who was glowering at her father and her twin sister, as they looked down at her.

However, one thing that shocked her was another person, who entered the tent, where they were being held captive.

"Liam," Zuri growled when she saw that man. He looked so different from the last time they met.
