504 IT HAS BEEN A WHILE
Knox really couldn’t get it, Gael was an old man right now, but he acted more childish than Zuri and both of them simply a disaster to be put on the same mission, as they kept bickering with each other.
“Shut up!” Knox snapped, which made Zuri and Gael clamped their mouth shut and pouted like petulant children, as they walked into the pack house, where they were stopped by two guards, who asked what’s their intention to come here, since they could sense that the three of them were not shifter and all of them were not from this pack.
“Where are you going?” one guard with blonde hair asked Knox, who was standing in front of them, while he and his fellow guards observed the other two as well.
“We need to meet the alpha,” Knox said bluntly.
“Do you have an appointment before?” He eyed them up and down, but he still couldn’t determine who were they. Moreover, it was a little bit suspicious to have a guest at this late hour.
“No,” Knox replied quickly, which made Zuri scoffed.
She still thought this was the worst plan ever, if there was any plan to begin with, since Knox just walked toward the pack house and requested for the alpha, as if though he owned this place.
They should come quietly and leave without leaving any traces after they had done. There was no need to alert another shifter and engaged in unnecessary fight or argument.
“You can’t meet him then,” the other guy with brown hair chimed in, he was very cautious, as Zuri could see he was mind link the other guard to come, just in case, since they were outnumbered.
.....
“Why don’t we teleport to the alpha’s bedroom or his study room?” Zuri tilted her head, she looked at Chaos, waiting for his answer. “We used to do that, right? When we figured out an alpha is your shattered soul?”
“Aaron is inside,” Chaos replied, his eyes fixed at a certain window that the light was still lit up. “He has been suppressing the energy around here.”
Which meant, it would be hard for them to use their power, as their power collided.
Zuri lifted her head and followed Chaos’s line of sight, she could see there were two people behind the curtains staring back at them, while right now, Knox was talking to the other two guards, spouting all excuse for them to be able to enter the pack house and met with the alpha.
Meanwhile, Gael’s patient seemed to grow thin, as he kept mumbling curses, which didn’t help, since those shifters could hear him.
“Fcuk it,” Gael said, as he pulled Knox behind him by his shoulder and then burned the two guards’ pants.
“AARRGH! A MAGUS! INTRUDER!” they were jumping up and down, and rolled on the ground in order to put off the fire from licking their body.
“Can we go now?” Gael asked impatiently. “I want to have dinner with my daughter.”
Knox glared at Gael because he made unnecessary commotion. “Should you do that?”
“What? Do you think this is the problem, where you can talk it out?” Gael jeered at him. “Come on, Knox. I miss our old day.”
“You are old, I am not,” Knox said in a matter of fact tone.
“Damn you shattered soul,” Gael hissed, he would love to burn Knox, but unfortunately, his power wouldn’t be enough to tackle him down, he could feel it that he was getting stronger, or maybe he was the one, who became weaker… “Let’s go inside.”
Gael only took two steps forward, but then there were a dozen guards came to them with four in their beast’s form.
“Back off! Who are you!” A man with long red hair came forward, he had scar on his left cheek, as a result of a battle, it seemed he was the leader among these people.
Meanwhile, the two men, who were burned by Gael had been helped and the fire had been put off. They would be fine in a matter of minutes, since there were not serious injuries.
“Call your alpha, we only need to see him,” Knox replied calmly, he didn’t even worried when they were surrounded and all of them were ready to shift into their beast and attack, Zuri was familiar with this.
“Get out of our pack right now, or else, we will not show any mercy on you,” the man with long, red hair growled at them. His claws had emerged from the tips of his fingers threateningly.
“We don’t need your mercy,” Knox said, but when he was talking to him, Gael was running out of his patient, as he flicked his fingers and rows of pine trees were on fire.
Knox glanced at him, as if saying; what are you doing now?
“This will be faster to call the alpha, since we have already created a commotion.” Gael shrugged his shoulder nonchalantly.
“You mean to make a bigger commotion?” Knox narrowed his eyes, he completely displeased with the way Gael handled the situation.
“What’s wrong with you? Knox that I know is not someone, who doesn’t love to have a confrontation a little. Are you scared now?” Gael teased him.
Yet, their conversation was cut off when a man walked out of the pack house, from the way he carried himself and the dominant aura around him, Zuri knew immediately that he was the alpha of the pack.
Even so, her eyes fixed on the man, who was walking next to the alpha. It had been a long time, since the last time they met.
“Blue…” Aaron sighed her name, as if he was glad to see her there, just like an old friend. “It has been a while, right?”
Zuri shifted her attention and looked at Chaos, but he vanished all of sudden and appeared again in front of Aaron.
