Zuri heard that a few girls went on dates with their mates back then when she was still in the pack. She even eavesdropped when they talked about their dates with their mates and how giddy they always sounded.
At that time, Zuri could only frown, because she couldn’t imagine herself doing such a thing with someone, especially to be so leisurely when she had a lot of training that she had to go through.
There was no way she could pick clothes and doll herself up, to be so laid back when she knew she was in danger and her life was not safe, even when she was in the pack, as Alpha Xerxes always had his eyes on her.
Therefore, when she felt how peaceful this place was and how different her life was right now, the first thing that she wanted to try was to go on a date.
Yet, she was a little bit skeptical whether or not Chaos would play along with her, since that sounded very ridiculous to ask.
But, to her utter surprise, he didn’t mind going with her at all.
“No, I don’t think that’s ridiculous at all,” Chaos replied and when Zuri turned her head to look at his expression, she could see how serious he was. “Let’s go on a date, where do you want to go?” he asked her gently.
Chaos caressed her cheek, as her eyes lit up when he agreed to go on that silly date with her.
“I want to go on a picnic,” Zuri said. When she was a child, Anne used to pack a few things and went on picnics with her at the back of the McKeltar manor and she was really fond of that memory. Anne truly took care of her.
.....
“Sure, we can go do that,” Chaos replied, looking at the girl before his eyes.
It had been fourteen years since the first time he found her when she was only eight. She looked so fierce and mean at that time, but right now, after everything that she had gone through, after all the pain that she had to endure, she grew up into a fine woman.
There was still fierceness within her and the trauma from the past, but she dealt with all of that gracefully and Chaos couldn’t be more grateful that those horrible experiences didn’t break her.
She was still radiant and so bright, someone that could bring peace for him. Kind and tenacious. And now she wanted to have a normal life like the other women her age and experience all of those things, thus there was no way Chaos wouldn’t agree to that.
“Let’s go on a date,” Chaos said firmly, as he leaned over to kiss her on the lips. Her lips were so soft and warm that it was not hard for him to get addicted to them.
Chaos let Zuri pick something to wear for herself as he gave enough money to her. After that, they agreed to meet in the restaurant where they ate yesterday, because she wanted to make it look more like a date, where they could meet up in a certain place.
Chaos didn’t mind at all and told her that he would bring food with him. Of course, he wouldn’t cook, he would just do what he did this morning. Therefore, until she was done, Chaos didn’t have much to do and just sat on the windowsill, as he looked over the crowded city from there.
“You are very laid back, don’t you know there are thousands of people dying right now when you are thinking about your date?” Hades sat on the bed and then frowned, as if he could see the past and knew what had happened right there a few hours ago.
Scrunching his nose, he immediately stood up and walked toward the window, where Chaos was sitting.
On the other hand, Chaos didn’t do anything, he didn’t even flinch when Hades appeared inside this bedroom out of nowhere, as if he had expected this visit.
“Don’t you want to do something?” Hades asked in a lazy voice. He looked in the direction that Chaos was staring at, but he couldn’t find anything interesting that made Chaos choose to ignore him like this. “Thousands of people died on the other side of this world, but now you are sitting here, thinking about your date.”
Chaos finally gave him a reaction as he tilted his head slightly, looking at him with his dark eyes. It seemed he would have these eyes for quite a while, thus it put him on alert, since he didn’t know when he would lose his control again.
“What do you want me to do? Wipe them out of this realm?” Chaos raised his brows. “Have you forgotten that I am the god of destruction?”
In that case, what else could Chaos do except to kill them all?
“Hm...” Hades mumbled, he touched his chin, as if he was deep in thought, although both of them knew he was not really thinking about anything right now. “I don’t know about killing them all, but I just want to remind you about Aaron,” he said.
And that was the last name that Chaos wanted to hear right now. It would leave a sour taste in his mouth whenever he heard his name mentioned.
“Aaron has created anarchy and sowed discord in that place and I should say that was quite bad,” Hades then looked at Chaos again and blinked his eyes innocently. “Do you want to let him loose like that?”
“He can burn the whole nation for all I care.” Chaos shifted his attention back to the city.
“It’s bad if you think that way, because just like what you know from the very beginning, the only things that he cares about are you and the girl.” Hades extended his hand to pat his shoulder, but stopped midway. “Careful.”
