Chapter 172: MR. BEAR

"I want you to help me." July straightened her back when she said this, she looked at Zuri right in the eyes to see her reaction.

"With?" Zuri didn't show any change of her expression, as she could guess what kind of help that July needed from her.

And without beating around the bush, July stated what was in her mind. "To get back the McKeltar." The was the main topic that they would discuss, she knew that they had this special bond to the McKeltar and for July, it was obvious that she wanted to get Knox back. It had been years.

Initially, July wouldn't involve herself in such situation, but the organization, The Hound, that was managed by her father had found their location and was about to retrieve them from the frozen lake with whatever means.

There was no way July would let that to happen, she wouldn't let them ran an examination on him. She knew what kind of cruel thing that they had done to those shifters and Knox wouldn't be one of them.

"I know where are Chaos and the other." July deliberately mentioned Chaos, because she knew Zuri inclination to that creature.

"If you know, you can go. There is no one will stop you," Zuri said, her eyes flickered with anger when she heard Chaos's name was being mentioned and this was out of July's expectation.

"Blue," Anne started.

"Zuri. My name is Zuri, remember that," she hissed at the old woman, but at the same time she realized that her reaction was out of place, thus she softened her tone when she added. "I prefer to be called Zuri."

Anne was surprised, but then she nodded. "Zuri, you need to understand this importance."

"I will think about that," Zuri said, she didn't need them to elaborate the plan, since she could guess how it could be.

But understanding was completely different from accepting.

She still couldn't wrap her head around the fact that she would meet Chaos again after everything that she had gone through.

If she took this risk, there was a chance, though it was only a glimmer of it, for Zuri to see him again and she didn't know how she felt about it.

"When will you give me the answer?" July asked, she stopped Zuri on her track. "I need to know whether you are in or not, because I don't want to waste my time to wait for you."

Zuri turned around when she heard the difference tone in July's voice. She sounded more stern and firm, there was a dark aura around her when she forced Zuri to give her a time limit for her answer.

"July," Anne called her in low voice, she warned her to not take things too far. She knew that something big had happened to Zuri that caused her change of personality, thus it was not the right time to force her into doing something.

And yet, July ignored that.

"I don't have time to baby sitting you." July's eyes were on Zuri's. "You are in or you are out. Give me the answer before midnight."

And before Zuri could leave the dining room, July had stood up from her seat and walked out of here. She lifted her chin defiantly and arrogantly.

After all, July had to handle the worse men in this country, who used to work under Knox's cruelty, where the man would be unequivocal with his words and order.

Therefore, to make those kind of men to concede to her, she had to assume this kind of attitude. She was a brilliant actress, it could be said another role that she had to grabe a hold of for unlimited time.

She wouldn't yield or indulge anyone and she wouldn't start this with Zuri.

July was aware that there were a long story behind Zuri's return and the mark on her neck, but she was not in the position that would spoil her for her misery. She had her piece of wretchedness as well.

"You can take your room," July said before she closed the door behind her.

On the other hand, Zuri stared at the closed door, her expression was undreadable, as she fixed the collar of her jacket around her neck and walked away from that dining room, leaving Anne alone.

====================== 

"What are you doing?" Emily asked when she saw Eros was pushing a cabinet to block the door after he went back from the kitchen to take two bottle of water.

"They are coming," he said in low voice. He could smell their scent from a distance away, which was one of her ability as the non- human being.

"Why you block the door?" Emily asked, hugging her teddy bear, its size was half of her body.

"So, they can't hurt us," he replied. Eros needed to put all his strenght to make it move, but then he felt there was another pair of hands that helped him.

When Eros looked down, he found Emily was trying to help him, though her strength didn't help at all.

It took Eros and Emily a few more minutes before they could block the door and not longer after that, the sound of the front door being opened could be heard.

Emily crept closer to Eros with the bear in her arms, her body was trembling when she heard the rattling sound from the door, as Josh was trying to enter and a few curses along profanity words that he spit at them when he couldn't open it.

"What its name?" Eros spoke to her ears, as Josh was kicking the door.

"Hm?" Emily was too afraid to focus on his question.

"What its name?" Eros pointed his finger at her teddy bear.

Emily looked a little bit confused and distracted by the sound from the door, but then she replied to him with a shaking voice. "Mr. Bear," she said.
