485 PUT THIS ON

Zuri quickened her steps when she smelled metallic scent in the air and the broken glass of the window, someone must have trespassed, the third attackers.

Seeing how Gael and Skylar’s expression, it seemed their aim was only the people from the shadow moon pack. What actually they dealt with while they were here?

Zuri was sure they just arrived this afternoon, but they were already attacked at night. They must have done dealing with someone dangerous in this city.

On the floor, she found Colton, he was laying with his face down, flooded in his own blood. The sight was very worrying.

“Colton!” Zuri called his name and turned his body, so she could see how gravely injured he was. She gasped when she saw a huge wound on his chest, there were four deep, claws marked on his chest and his neck was almost severed.

It was a miracle that he was still alive and his healing ability managed to cope up with this kind of wound.

“Damn it!” Zuri cursed under her breath, as she tried to press her hand against his wounds, but it wouldn’t help at all. She needed to ask for assistance.

She was not sure whether Gael had a healer in this place or not, since a doctor would be out of an option. The doctor was a human, therefore, if they were about to find out that Colton was a shifter, it was the same thing like they laid open the secret of this place.

Knowing that being there wouldn’t be any of help for Colton, Zuri immediately rushed out of the room again and searched for Gael.

.....

“There is an injured there, we need to call for a healer!” Zuri watched two men had taken away the carcasses of the beast that had attacked her and Eros, while Skylar was nowhere to be seen.

It seemed this scene was too gruesome for her weak stomach.

“We don’t have healer at the moment. The nearest healer I know will take three hours drive from here.” Gael looked at behind her back. “Who is injured? Do they gravely injured?”

Zuri nodded. “He will not make it for another three hours.” She then told him the room number, where Colton was, so Gael could take a look at him himself, while she rushed into the nearby room.

There, she found Eros was cuddling Emily, to help her to calm down.

“I think you need to stop being lovey dovey now. Colton is gravely injured.” Well, she knew this was uncalled for for her to show her hostility, but her emotions just slipped from control and she couldn’t take it back. “If we don’t find a healer right away, he will die.”

Hearing the last statement seemed to make Eros forgot about her fierce remarked at the beginning, as he jolted to his feet. “He was attacked.”

“Apparently so.” Zuri nodded. She glanced at Emily, who was still cowering behind Eros, while clutching to his bathrobe.

“Why don’t you have any healer here?” Eros helped Emily to stand up and held her body.

“Unfortunately for the gamma. The nearest healer is three hours drive away.” She reiterated what Gael told her.

Eros’s jaws clenched tightly, he was trying to hold back his emotions.

“What… what happened with Colton?” Emily asked, she lifted her head to look at Eros, but she still looked like an abandoned puppy. She would look so cute, if they were in different situation.

“He is almost died. Deep claws wounds on his chest, almost severed head…” Hazel mentioned that lightly and found joy when she saw Emily’s face blanched with what she was saying, which earned her a glare from Eros.

However, Hazel simply raised her brows, as if asking; what’s wrong?

“You will be lucky if you can make him survive for three hours until the healer came.” Zuri was thinking about looking for Knox or Chaos, but she didn’t want to call them.

There was this fear deep in her heart that she didn’t want them to find out that Eros was Chaos’s shattered soul. She would hand him to Chaos later. She would let him know about Eros on her own terms.

Zuri had done so much, at the very least, she should be allowed to do this, right? It was not that she wanted to betray Chaos. Of course, that was not the case, but the time was not right.

Later…

Later. She told herself. She tried to justify her action. She could ask this small favor, right?

“I… let met take a look of him…” Emily said with trembling voice. She fidgeted in every words she said, as if she wanted to back down with her offer, even when she was talking about it.

“Are you a healer?” Zuri tilted her head, she was curious about this girl.

“No.” Emily shook her head. “But, I have been working with one for years…” her voice was very small and if Zuri was not a shifter, she would miss that.

Nonetheless, Zuri was surprised to hear that, but also curious to see the proof of it. “Then, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for winter to come?”

Eros glared at her again when he heard the way she talked to Emily, but Zuri simply ignored him completely. She didn’t think that she was saying something mean… well, maybe a little…

“Eros… we need to see Colton…” Emily said, she still looked pale, but her determination to help others despite herself was something that one needed to appreciate.

“I would like to see him died, if I can.” Eros was still upset for this mission and the whole ordeal that they had to go through, especially about the attackers.

“I can’t agree more with you.” Zuri nodded.

“What… what the two of you talking about?” Emily was mortified when she heard that. She blinked her eyes at Zuri and Eros in disbelieved.

Yet, despite what the two of them were saying, they knew that they couldn’t let Colton to die.

“I will take you to him,” Eros said lightly, he then carried her in his arms and walked past Zuri to go to Colton’s bedroom.

Meanwhile, Zuri stayed inside the room for a moment, until their figure disappeared.

“Damn it…” she grumbled and then scratched her head. She hated to admit this, but she was upset to see him with another woman. She wanted to curse more and stay in this room, but she was also curios what that girl could do.

Therefore, against her better judgment, she started to walk away from there. She wanted to see if the girl really could heal him.

When Zuri saw the corridor, it had been cleaned and there was only faint scent of blood, while her nose was burning with the smell of disinfectant.

“How strong this smell…” she clicked her tongue and then hastened her steps.

Fortunately, when she arrived at Colton’s bedroom, the smell had faded and there, she found Emily was sitting next to Colton’s bloodied body on the bed, while Gael was sitting on the other side of the bed.

He had put him on the bed, despite he was bleeding profusely.

However, Zuri couldn’t see Eros anywhere.

On the other hand, Zuri could hear Emily was talking to Gael, but she didn’t hear the whole context, since she didn’t interest to know what the outcome, she only wanted to see what Emily could do.

“…I think I can stitch its wound after we clean them.”

“Do you think you can stop the bleeding?” Gael raised his brows. Just like Zuri, he must find it difficult to believe this human would do the healer role and was well knowledge about medicine.

“I… I brought something to stop the bleeding inside my bag…” Emily said timidly, she lowered her head and fixed her eyes on Colton’s wrist, she was checking his pulse.

And before long, Eros came into the room with a backpack, which he handed it to Emily. She started to rummage the content of it and picked a few things out of the backpack.

“She seems to know what she is doing,” Zuri commented when Eros leaned his back against the wall next to her. He was still wearing the bathrobe and this made her frowned. “Don’t you want to put on some clothes?”

Responding to that, Eros glanced at Zuri’s mid- thigh shirt, which was Gael’s, while the man had new clothes. One of his people must have brought one for him.

“What?” Zuri felt offended by the way he glanced at her, but Eros simply shook his head.

“Nothing. I will change my clothes.” He then walked out of the bedroom, since his bedroom was only next door, he returned pretty quickly and then handed her a dress, a blue flowery dress, which made Zuri scrunched her nose.

“This is not my taste,” Zuri said.

“Beggar don’t choose.” They were talking in low voice, so it sounded like they were mumbling from the people on the bed.

“I am not a beggar.” Zuri glared at him, yet he just nudged her toward the bathroom to put it on.

“This is better than the one that you are wearing.” There was a fleeting rage in his blue eyes when he saw Gael’s clothes on her, but Zuri didn’t know what the meaning of it.

“Don’t tell me this is your lover’s clothes?” Zuri glowered at him when he smirked.
