Chapter 253: 253

253 CEREMONY FOR THE BETA

Nikolai had been on various missions, but to attack a large pack such as this Shadow Moon pack still left him feeling restless. This was the biggest pack in the east and there was a shady rumor about the relationship between Commander Jasmine and the Alpha of this pack.

Nikolai couldn’t confirm that rumor, since such an issue tended to be exaggerated. However, seeing how Commander Jasmine didn’t even budge with the mission, he thought there wouldn’t be anything worth worrying about.

“Proceed with caution,” Jasmine said in her low and commanding voice.

“Yes, ma’am.” Nikolai saluted her and moved away from her to go back to his position and informed the others. This would be the third time he was on the same mission as her, thus he wouldn’t have much problem following her dynamic.

This attack would be an ambush and if they were lucky, they would be able to wipe them all out, though they needed more than luck to achieve that outcome.

Nikolai looked down, the Shadow Moon pack looked like a small city under a mountain and surrounded by several hills which served as their natural fortress. This was a tricky condition.

Their surroundings could serve as their defense, or it could be their dead end, which would cage them inside and not allow those shifters to escape their attack.

Indeed, they needed to proceed with caution.

.....

Chaos had the black wings behind his back spread threateningly. They were so huge, until they could block the light of the morning sun that just appeared on the horizon, while the golden-haired woman in front of them narrowed her eyes.

At this point, almost everyone had emptied the streets. No one wanted to be stuck in the middle of a fight between non- human beings wielding strange powers that they had never seen.

Those people’s knowledge about supernatural beings was actually not that lousy, especially in this country, where the people thought they were free from that kind of creatures, as they had closed the border to the Artzees country.

They really needed to learn that they were not safe at all. They lived among the supernatural creatures that looked exactly like normal human beings.

“What is this, Chaos?” the woman tilted her head and then looked at him indulgently. “Do you want to send me to the underworld again? I heard what the others said about your little wolf.”

This time, her golden eyes drifted toward Zuri and what she meant by the ‘others’ must be those dark creatures that Chaos had released to this realm.

“We may not be able to do much to you, but your little one is an easy target, you know?” The woman walked two steps closer to approach Chaos, but Zuri seethed.

She hated it when someone came too close to her, or to Chaos in this matter, this lecherous woman was definitely not welcomed.

“Oh, little wolf, don’t act like that.” She raised her hand to cover her mouth, as she giggled. Zuri really wanted to shove her hand down her throat instead. “Don’t you know that Chaos and I have a long story together?”

“Chaos doesn’t seem to care. Should I care?” Zuri replied sharply.

The smile on her face faded when Zuri said that and her eyes glinted with anger. She didn’t like to be talked back the way Zuri did.

“You are a piece of crap.” Her lips tugged upward, which at first made Zuri think the latter was smiling, but it was not the case. Her mouth split wider, showing her sharp teeth, as her pointed nose elongated. “There is no place for both of you. Not in the past, not now.”

Yet, Zuri ignored her last comment as she tilted her head to look at Chaos instead. “This is the woman who has a long story with you?” she frowned. “You need to fix your taste.” And then she added. “And your eyes.”

Zuri was ready to shift into her white wolf. It had been a long time since she had vented her frustration through combat.

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

“What is it?” Eros had just finished taking a bath when he saw Emily close the door after talking to Ariana. He no longer needed the healer, so he wanted to know why she came here without informing him first.

“Ariana said there will be a ceremony tonight for you,” Emily told him. She looked ecstatic when she added, “She said it is your ceremony, as you are the new beta of this pack.”

Emily knew exactly what being a beta meant. Eros would hold power within the pack, as he was the second in command of the alpha. It could mean those people would hold themselves back every time they wanted to make a rude or nasty comment about them.

“You will be the youngest beta ever,” Emily said joyfully. “Don’t you think it is very great!?”

Eros didn’t think that was great, or something that should be overjoyed about, but to see Emily being happy, which was a rare thing to happen for them, he was willing to accommodate that.

“Yes, that’s great,” Eros said, ruffling her hair and looked at her hazel eyes. They were so bright with happiness that she felt. “I will sleep for a while.”

If the ceremony would happen in the evening, it meant he had a few more hours to sleep. It would be enough for him to regain his strength.

“Why don’t you sleep on the bed?” Emily asked when she watched Eros walk toward the sofa, to sleep there as usual.

Emily pulled his hand when Eros tried to ignore her and insisted on taking over the sofa.

“Let’s sleep on the bed.” Emily grabbed his pillow with one hand and took his hand with the other, as she guided him back to the sofa. “The bed is big for both of us, you know. We can take a nap together like when we were little.” She giggled at the thought.

Eros let her lead him back to the bed and laid down there.

It was a simple thing, an innocent thing even, but within a few years, it would be something inappropriate for them to play brother and sister cards. After all, they were not blood related and they couldn’t just rely on that feeble reason.

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

Emily came closer to Eros and wrapped her arms around his hip, as she rested her head against his chest. “This is nice.”

“Sleep,” Eros said. He needed this sleep very much. There were a lot of things that happened and he felt very exhausted to say the least. He needed to take a rest, but his mind didn’t let him.

The thought of Alpha Liam, who was able to kill his beta without batting an eye, was quite disturbing. Damon was his beta, supposedly someone that he could trust.

But, if he couldn’t even trust his own second in command, who else would he trust?

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

Zuri shifted into her white wolf when she charged forward to attack one of the men that this woman had brought with her.

Those men were vampires, but Zuri couldn’t fathom how they could be so strong. She had fought vampires before when she was still in the Shadow Moon pack, but they were not as strong as these few in front of her.

Zuri ripped one of the men’s limbs, but he grew it again. How the hell did he even do that?! She had never heard or seen anything like this.

Frustrated, Zuri attacked his head and ripped half of it, which made dark blood come out of his torn head. The blood was so dark and smelly. It smelled really bad, which made the white wolf gag.

The white wolf backed away and that was the time Chaos grabbed her body with one arm and flew in the air.

Chaos floated a few meters away from the ground, with his beautiful dark wings flapping behind him.

Under the morning light, he looked like an angel with black wings, which made the woman with golden hair whistle with admiration. She kept that lecherous expression on her face every time she looked at Chaos and this made Zuri feel sick.

“Running away from a battle?” the woman asked.

Yet Chaos didn’t waste his breath on replying to her or even acknowledging her when he flew away with the white wolf in his arms.

“Don’t you dare to shift now,” Chaos warned Zuri.

There were too many people looking at them with their eyes completely fixed on them, thus if Zuri shifted now, she would be likely watched by those people, naked.

The white wolf growled in a low voice when she heard that. She nipped on his arm, while Chaos only regarded her with a glance.

It was not clear whether she was vexed because she was being carried away in the middle of a fight or it was because of Chaos’ comment.

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

Chaos set the white wolf down on the ground when they were finally far away from the city and surrounded by trees, while a river streamed not too far from them.

Zuri knew this place, they came here months ago.

Once the white wolf’s legs touched the ground, she shifted back into her human form.

Zuri was naked with her white, long hair cascaded down around her body, covering most of her skin, while Chaos knelt down in front of her.

He stretched out his hand and wiped away the remaining dark blood of that creature from her previous fight.
