母女的秘密授课

Chapter 240



At that information, Eros nodded and when he was about to walk to Emily’s side, the healer stopped him by holding his arm.

She was a beautiful young woman and also the mate of the gamma in this pack. And she was one of the few creatures that was not a shifter, yet she was still a non-human being. Thus, it couldn’t be said that she got the same treatment as Emily did, especially when she was the mate of the gamma.

“Are you sure about the challenge?” Ariana, the healer, asked him. Her brows furrowed slightly because she was concerned about him. She heard what happened from the omega, who called her, since she was not in the dining hall then, but Atbikai was something serious.

Eros looked her straight in the eyes. He always gave this vibe whenever he looked at someone, forcing them to avert their gaze. “Do I have any other choice?”

It was clear for all of them that refusing the challenge would cause him to be banned from the pack, which could be translated as death for Emily too.

“You can’t fight Damon. He is an experienced warrior. You can’t imagine how many battles he had fought.” Ariana was genuinely worried about these two creatures. She knew exactly how it felt to be alienated by the rest of the pack.

However, Eros didn’t seem to have the same concerns as her, as he freed his arm from her grip. He nodded and spoke subtly to her. “Thank you for looking at my sister,” he said and then walked toward Emily.

Ariana could only sigh at how cold Eros was. It was not just her, but she believed the rest of the pack members were under the same impression that Eros wouldn’t come out alive this time around.

.....

It was true that this young lycan was gifted. He was one of the best warriors that was being trained in this pack in his age, but still, to fight Damon, it was too much.

But then, Ariana couldn’t say anything further since Eros had ended the conversation. And so, she walked out of the room, leaving the two of them there.

“What fight?” Emily asked, she pushed herself up and received a glass of warm water from Eros and drank it.

“Just a fight.”

“You will fight against the beta?” Emily bit her lips and then lowered her head. “I don’t want you to get hurt.”

Eros stretched out his hand and lifted her chin, so she could look at him. “I want you to do something for me.”

It was so rare for Eros to ask something from anyone, Emily included, but now he wanted her to do a favor, of course she would agree to whatever it was.

“Tell me, what is it?” she asked him eagerly, though her face was so pale and she looked sick.

“I want you to follow every word I say, starting from now.”

Emily tilted her head. “I always follow what you say.” That was not even a question. She had been following him for the last five years and she would keep doing that. There was no one else who could be her safe haven aside from Eros.

But then, Eros continued to say what he wanted to say.

“I want you to follow everything I say. When I tell you to say something, you must say it. When I tell you to run, you must run. When I tell you to hide, you must hide and when I tell you to abandon me, you have to do exactly what you are told. You will do it, no questions asked. Can you do that?”

Emily was stunned when she heard that. She would follow whatever Eros said, but to abandon him and to run without him...

“Do you understand?”

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

Zuri was blowing warm breath over her frozen palms. This place was so cold, she couldn’t imagine how there could be any creatures that could live in a place like this, but Chaos insisted on coming here.

Well, it couldn’t be said as him insisting, because all Zuri did was follow him. However, Zuri felt this coldness could kill her.

She was sitting on a log that was covered by snow and felt her butt was hurt from the coldness, but she couldn’t find a better spot to wait for Chaos.

The man had disappeared around here for almost two hours without saying anything about his return. Next time, Zuri would have a proper conversation with that man, especially if she had to be left alone in such unpleasant terrain again.

They were a few hours away from Alegra city and Zuri was now sitting on the side of the road, waiting for him.

“I feel like I am going to die...” Zuri grumbled. She was hungry, no, she was starving. Just because Chaos didn’t need to eat as much as normal mortal beings did, didn’t mean Zuri could follow his lifestyle.

“Give me your hands.”

Zuri was startled. She almost threw a punch or two, but then she realized it was just Chaos. Her nose was frozen, so she couldn’t smell properly.

“Give me your hands,” Chaos repeated. He appeared all of a sudden in front of Zuri, kneeling down in front of her with his left hand stretched out for her to take.

“You scared me,” Zuri complained, but she extended her hands and let him hold them. His hands felt so warm when their skin made contact and warmth spread to her body immediately.

In no time, her cheeks flushed red and she was no longer shivering.

Zuri sighed gratefully. “Did you find the thing that you were looking for?” she asked, while Chaos was still holding her hands.
