Chapter 278: 278

278 I JUST WANT TO LIVE WITH EROS

It had been a few days since July talked to Knox, because both of them had different views on this matter and Knox didn’t want to back down at all regarding this issue.

July felt so tired, she was emotionally drained and it was clear to see from her expression. She gave off a gloomy vibe and made people around her feel anxious in her presence, something that was so rare to happen.

“I know that you have a problem with Knox,” Sebastian said, as he draped his jacket around July’s shoulders, standing next to her.

He came to ask her about something regarding the people that they managed when he saw her standing on the balcony with this empty gaze, staring away into the distance.

“But, you can’t let this cost you your health.” Sebastian could figure out what this was about, since July had been confiding in him a lot recently. Who else did she have if it was not him?

It was Sebastian, who was always by her side, especially when Knox disappeared for years and she didn’t know when he would return, and yet, when he came back, it didn’t make things easier for July to love him.

Their situation only seemed to be getting worse and worse.

“I am so tired,” July sighed and closed her eyes. She could feel her heart was not in the right place. She felt this void at the corner of her heart and she didn’t know how to fix the problem between her and Knox.

All of this sucked. She wanted to cry, but she was tired of doing that too.

.....

On the other hand, Sebastian felt this uncomfortable feeling when he saw July’s current expression. She looked beyond devastated. She didn’t look like the woman that he had known for years.

She used to look confident and full of energy. She was brilliant and brave. She knew what she was doing and what she wanted, but right now, all he could see was a broken soul and this made him feel more protective of her, this feeling resurfaced again and this time it came so strong, as it urged him to extend his arms and pull her closer to hug her.

This was not the first time for Sebastian to hug July, but of course, it was not some platonic love that he felt for her. He already knew about this, he just kept denying it all this time.

“I don’t know what to do.” July felt so lost. She hugged Sebastian back tightly and buried her face in his chest, feeling her heart being shattered once again. It felt nice to know that she had someone that would catch her when she was down. “I am so scared,” July admitted and the moment she said it, the feeling became even more palpable.

“It’s all right, I am here.” Sebastian caressed her back. He was desperate to make her feel better, but he didn’t know what to do in this situation. The only person that could make her feel like herself again was Knox and he hoped he could have that power...

However, little did they know, there was a pair of dark blue eyes that were watching them. He was staring straight at them from where he was standing without any of the two knowing about this.

Knox had been there for a few hours, as July took solace in silence, he was there to accompany her, because he didn’t want her to be alone.

He didn’t show himself because he knew that his presence would only bring more heartache to her. She didn’t need him right now, but to see Sebastian hold her like this made his blood boil in anger.

Yet, to see how Sebastian could soothe her a little bit and made July let out the sadness and anger that she had been holding back, something that Knox couldn’t do, made him stay where he was. His feet were nailed to the floor, he felt powerless, despite the fact that he was the most powerful creature in this place.

If it was not because of those reasons, he would have destroyed Sebastian for daring enough to touch his woman in such a way. After all, he recognized that gaze. He knew what Sebastian felt when he held July close to him, there was no mistake in this matter.

But then, in contrast, Sebastian was able to give something that Knox couldn’t to July.

Out there, the sky turned gloomy, thunder and lightning could be seen in the dark sky, as if a storm and endless rain would hit the night sky.

“Both of you are done?” Zuri came to the two supernatural creatures, who finally stopped destroying their surroundings after a few hours of fighting and now, they were in the middle of wildfire.

Zuri didn’t even worry about it because she knew Chaos wouldn’t let anything happen to her. Moreover, the fire didn’t reach the area beyond these two creatures, yet it was still humid to be in the middle of a sea of flames.

“Can you put off this fire? It’s a little bit hot here.” Zuri then sat down between the two men with White right beside her. The wolf then rested her head on her lap, nuzzling her hand, asking to be patted.

Meanwhile, in front of her, Chaos and Hades laid down. Despite the fierce battle that happened, there were no scratches on their bodies. In contrast, they looked completely fine.

“That is his fire, not mine,” Hades grumbled, as he pointed his finger at Chaos and closed his eyes. “You don’t need to fight me, you know...” he complained. He didn’t think that voicing out what he thought about Zuri was something wrong. It didn’t look like this girl would come running to him when he made a confession. Chaos really needed to learn how to be chill...

“Chaos, people will start coming if you don’t put off the fire.” Zuri nudged him and Chaos looked at her with his dark eyes. Great. Hades had drained his energy and now he was in this bloody mood again. “Chaos, put out the fire, please. This makes me uncomfortable.” Zuri reached out her hand and grabbed his.

For a moment, Chaos seemed to not care about what she wanted and looked like he wouldn’t do anything about the fire, but a moment later, he waved his hand and the fire died down, leaving scorching marks on the ground and withered trees.

Zuri breathed in relief when Chaos closed his eyes after he was done with that, trying to save his energy, while holding her hand. “This is how you will help?” This time, Zuri talked to Hades. She shot him a dagger look for provoking Chaos.

“I never said that I want to help you.” Hades grinned at her, knowing it would upset the girl. “Oh, don’t look at me like that. I am not your enemy. You have more than enough dark creatures to be handled, you don’t need me to join the party.”

“What do you want, Hades?” Zuri narrowed her eyes. She always had this bad feeling about him, since she knew that no one should trust a devil.

Hades pushed himself up and looked at Zuri with his golden eyes. “Tell your lover to send all the dark creatures that he had freed back to my realm before Aaron can gather them all and turn them into his pawns to destroy the world.”

“You can tell him yourself, he is right here.” Zuri nodded at Chaos, who was laying beside her, seemingly not giving a damn about what Hades was talking about.

Of course, he heard what the devil said, yet he was not in the mood to give any response or reaction to that.

“No, I don’t want to talk to him,” Hades scoffed, as he threw Chaos a dirty look.

On the other hand, Zuri frowned. This god of the underworld was so childish to say the least. She didn’t know what his motivation was, but even if what he said was true and his intention was just to prevent this realm from becoming a second hell, it didn’t immediately make him take sides and be on their side.

Hades then stood up and patted himself, as he stared down at the white wolf in front of him. “Your pet is ugly,” he commented and then disappeared before Zuri or White could bite him off.

“You should have burned him down like before,” Zuri grumbled at Chaos.

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

Aiden and Emma were the names that Liam chose for his twins and Jasmine didn’t look like she liked the names at all. She even didn’t want to bother to breastfeed the twins, let alone to be near them. She would spend her time in the bedroom and stare into the distance from her balcony.

“You are human,” Jasmine said one day while Emily and she were walking in the yard of the pack house with the twins in the strollers.

It had been a week since Emily started accompanying Jasmine or even helping her with the babies, but now she was only there to go along with her in this evening walk, while there were four shifters around them, who paid close attention to them, so Jasmine wouldn’t try something funny.

“I am human,” Emilly admitted.

“But, you stay here with those filthy creatures,” Jasmine scoffed in disdain. “Don’t you have any desire to live with your own kind?”

Emily smiled. “I just want to live with Eros.”
