Chapter 348

348 HIS VOICE WRAPPED WITH MALICE

One moment, Eros was in the almost ruined Kalee city of the East Draghar, but the next moment, he was already in the middle of the Shadow Moon pack. They appeared in the training ground of this pack.

All of that happened only in a blink of an eye and this surprised him, since he had never seen that kind of powerful magic before.

Eros had only ever heard this kind of power, but this was his first time experiencing it firsthand and he was in awe for a moment.

“Are you surprised?” Aaron chuckled when he saw Eros’ expression. He looked like a deer caught in the headlights.

However, the young lycan immediately stepped aside when he felt the devil was about to touch his head, trying to give him a pat.

“Don’t touch me,” Eros growled deeply, as he stared at Aaron in warning.

Instead of getting angry, Aaron just laughed at his reaction and folded his arms in front of his chest, as he leaned his back against the pole inside this training ground.

This training ground was a huge basement under the packhouse, where all the warriors would be trained here, but aside from here, there was another outdoor training ground that was more often used by them, since they liked to be in the open area.

Therefore, at this hour, there was no one in this training ground.

.....

“You are indeed a shattered piece of Chaos’ soul. I can see his arrogance reflecting in you,” Aaron muttered under his breath.

On the other hand, Eros didn’t know what this man was talking about, but it was very clear that he didn’t care much about his nonsensical ramblings, as he followed his alpha to walk out of this place.

“Just like that?” Aaron raised his brows when he watched the two men that he had just saved walk away from him, without even saying anything. “No ‘thank you’ or even shedding a tear of joy, because I saved your life?”

Eros didn’t react to that, but Liam turned around and looked at the devil hard, his eyes narrowed dangerously.

“You need me as much as I need you,” he stated before he resumed his walk out of the training ground after Eros, who had left ahead of him.

Once Aaron was alone, the devil burst out laughing, he looked like a maniac, as he stared at the closed door.

“Need you?” he asked in a mocking tone to no one in particular, but he didn’t stop smirking, as if Liam had said the most stupid thing that he had ever heard.

=======================

“If you need anything, just tell me.” That was the only thing that Darius could say to her, since Jasmine didn’t look so well. She was feeling down from yesterday evening when he let her know about this news.

But, when Jasmine didn’t say anything for so long, Darius stood up, intending to leave her alone, because he thought that she needed some alone time to deal with her feelings.

However, before he could leave, Jasmine held his hand and looked at him with a deep furrow between her brows, tears brimming in her beautiful eyes.

“Don’t leave me alone. I want you here with me,” she whispered and this made Darius step back to her and then hug her.

Jasmine was sitting on the couch, while he was standing next to her, so from his position right now, Darius could see how her small body trembled when she cried her heart out.

On the other hand, Jasmine was not sure why she was crying this hard. She didn’t think of her father up until recently when she realized that he had gone, but there was this part of her that couldn’t accept that, because she still craved for his recognition.

She hated the fact that she would never get it now and felt all of her efforts for all those years had gone. All of those things that she had done was a waste of time and energy, when all Jasmine wanted was for her father to think of her the same way he thought about Sol. His son.

But, in the end, she would never ever get the same appreciation like her stupid brother did.

“I am here... I am always here...” Darius muttered under his breath, as he caressed her back, in hopes it could alleviate her pain, even if only a little.

Jasmine sighed deeply and hugged Darius more tightly. Him being there with her helped her a lot...

========================

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“We can’t go further than this,” Sebastian said, as the six of them were standing right in front of their car and watching how Kalee city had burst into flames.

People were trying to escape such hell, while many people died without being able to run from there.

“Knox can’t be there. Even if he was, he would have died by now.” Sebastian could feel July’s angry glare when he said that. He didn’t mean to wish anything bad upon Knox. He just stated a fact.

Okay, he probably was a little bit bitter, since his feelings for her were already out in the open, he couldn’t control his rage and jealousy for the devotion that July had for that shifter.

Sebastian closed his eyes. He knew it was wrong of him to feel this way, but he simply couldn’t help it. He needed to tone down this feeling before it went spiraling and put him in a much worse place.

“I think we can find a shelter nearby. If Knox survived this, he must go to a safe place.” Sebastian tried to lighten the situation between him and July.

But, the woman shook her head. “If the dragon is there, Chaos must be there too, which means Knox most likely will be with him as well.”

That was the logic that July used when she insisted on coming to this country, because she wanted to know about Knox’s condition and situation immediately.

“Do you have any idea?” Ciara asked, she looked relaxed and didn’t seem to have any particular emotion regarding this situation.

“Can we go through that wall of fire?” Sebastian asked. He didn’t want to go through that wall of fire, but July surely would do such a thing.

“No. I can’t hold back that kind of fire.” Ciara watched the whole military entourage that retreated from that dangerous zone, but they didn’t seem to notice the six people there, because of the witch’s power. She made them ignore their existence. “Even so, how do you plan to find Knox?” the witch tilted her head to look at July.

The woman was silent, as she didn’t have an answer to this question, until someone tapped her on the shoulder and she jumped out of surprise, only to see the same man, who Ciara introduced to her a few days ago.

The same man that said he would help her to get the little family that she wanted.

“Do you need my help?” Aaron asked, leaning his back against one of the cars. “I can help you to find him, if you want.”

========================

The first person that Eros looked for once he was already in this pack house was, of course, Emily. He figured she would be in their bedroom, knowing it was almost evening and she wouldn’t be at school during this hour of the day.

And just like what he had expected, he could smell her scent from behind the door, but when he was about to open it, it was locked.

“Who is it?” Emily’s voice sounded a little bit shaky. Eros didn’t need to see her to know that she was furrowing her brows right now.

Eros knocked again and said, “It is me. Open the door.”

He heard her gasp cutely and this brought a smile to his lips. Not long after which, the door opened and his vision turned dark because Emily covered his eyes with her black hair when she jumped and hugged him tightly.

Eros breathed deeply, as he hugged her back and caressed her back. He felt a little bit relaxed, all the tension that he felt during the chaotic situation in Kalee city left his body gradually as he breathed in her familiar scent.

It was hard to describe this, but he felt like he was at home again when he was with her. She was the only person that he felt safe with.

“I missed you,” Emily said against his neck, her voice slightly cracked, as she sobbed hard.

“I missed you too,” Eros replied.

There was something different with the way they expressed their feelings this time, but none of them realized it yet.

And for Eros, when he felt the familiarity that put him at ease from Emily, he forgot about the girl with white hair and their short encounter for a moment.

=======================

“What is this?” Liam asked with a cold tone when he stumbled upon the scene before his eyes.

In front of him, right after he opened the door of his bedroom, he found Darius hugging Jasmine, while the woman kept crying.

He didn’t know what happened, but he felt his blood boiling with anger, as he strode into the room and both of them immediately distanced themselves from each other.

Oh, of course, they must do that, because if they kept their initial positions, probably Liam would be the one to separate them and the end result of it wouldn’t be so great.

“I don’t remember allowing you into my bedroom.” Liam’s voice wrapped with malice, as he stared at Darius dangerously.
