Zuri could see the anger in Chaos’s dark eyes when he saw all of her injuries and how they became darker and darker with every wounds that he found on her body.
This was the reason why she didn’t want to see him in such state, because he would be like this and there was no benefit for anyone if she told him who she fought with earlier.
“Tell me who had done this?” Chaos asked grimly. He lifted his head to look at Zuri. “Tell me, who were you fighting against or I will find out about it one way or another.” He meant what he said and it was not a difficult task to do when it came to this.
On the other hand, Zuri knew it was impossible for her to hide it, she sighed and then squatted down as well, so she was on the same eyes level with him. “Don’t be angry. This is nothing, okay?” She cupped her face between her palms. “My wounds will heal eventually, I just need to take some rest, you don’t need to worry.”
However, Chaos was having none of it, he didn’t want to hear that answer, he wanted to know the person and he was going to know about it, with or without Zuri told him.
“If you don’t want to tell me, that’s fine,” Chaos said, but in the next second, he disappeared from before Zuri’s eyes, as she stumbled forward, since she used him as her support.
Damn. This is not going to be good.
“Ck.” Zuri clicked her tongue, as she immediately stood up to look for Norbeat, she needed to know where that sou possessor had taken Darius.
She didn’t know what she was going to do with Darius, but she knew that the man would be useful one day if they wanted to attack the shadow moon pack.
.....
The reason of that attack wouldn’t be to save July’s twin sister, Jasmine, but definitely, Chaos needed to come and find his shattered soul there.
The young lycan named Eros. He needed to find him, because he was one of his shattered soul.
Therefore, it would benefit them if they let him to live.
However, at this moment, Chaos couldn’t think straight because he was livid when he saw the injuries on her body.
“Knox!” Zuri shouted when she saw Knox at the end of the corridor, she rushed toward him, which made the man frowned.
He said nothing, but from the look of his face, Zuri knew that he didn’t like to see her, ever since she was a child, he always looked at her as if she was a nuisance.
“You need to help me,” Zuri said, but her voice sounded like a demand, instead of someone, who was asking for help.
“No,” Knox replied without batting an eye, yet Zuri didn’t accept rejection in this problem, she then pulled Knox’s sleeves.
“Take me to where Norbeat is.” Zuri was sure that Darius was with Norbeat, because the last time she saw him, they were together.
“No,” Knox repeated the same answer. “You can ask the guards to find out where he is.” He didn’t feel the need to find the man, he himself had another important thing to talk about with July.
“You need to help me, or else, something really bad could happen.” Zuri didn’t give any specific detail about it, but her facial expression must have told Knox how bad the situation could be.
And yet, he didn’t look interest at all with her problem. “Something bad always happens, that’s even not a news for me.” Knox swatted her hand, but Zuri clutched onto him, which made him not be able to go anywhere.
“Damn you, Knox, can’t you help me this time?” Zuri grumbled, as she stared dagger at him.
“What did you say? If you ask for help, you should ask nicely, not like this.” Knox was pissed now. “Go away from me.”
========================
Knox cursed under his breath when he finally relented and here he was, helping Zuri to find the shattered soul.
However, the problem didn’t end there, because apparently, Chaos had been there and the situation in this place was a little bit heated with Chaos had Darius’s neck wrapped around his fingers.
“Don’t tell me I should stop him too,” Knox said lazily, he didn’t have any desire to stop Chaos from killing this strange man, he must have his own reason to do so and he didn’t need to hear that.
However, Zuri didn’t have the same thought like him, they needed to stop Chaos from doing that.
“Why should I stop him? He could kill anyone for all I care,” Knox grumbled, he frowned when he looked at her, who was staring at him angrily for his lack of support. “Give me one reason why I should help him?”
Meanwhile, Norbeat was trying to stop Chaos, while Skylar tried her best to calm him down, but her power was not enough to make him stop, it only made him hesitated to kill the shifter.
“He is from shadow moon pack, we can use him to invade the pack,” Zuri said quickly, because right now Skylar didn’t seem she would be able to hold it back any longer.
“And why should we invade that place?” Knox folded his arms lazily in front of his chest, while staring at Zuri.
“Because there is a young lycan, who is Chaos’s shattered soul!” Zuri snapped at him, she didn’t think twice when she said this.
On the other hand, Skylar was screaming at her. “I don’t know why am I doing this! But, if you want your little shitty shifter friend alive, do something!” she was on her limit and now Darius’s face had turned so red because Chaos choked him.
The moment Skylar let it go, it went without saying that Chaos would crush his neck without any scrupulous.
“Damn it!” Zuri cursed under her breath when she saw Knox wouldn’t do anything about this situation. He had every right to not get involved because he didn’t care about this.
Therefore, it would be a waste of time to persuade him.
With that, Zuri rushed toward Chaos and then tried to separate him from Darius, but she couldn’t pull him away, he was too strong and even with the help of Norbeat, he didn’t budge at all.
“Chaos! Please, let him go,” Zuri said, as she tried to pry him from Darius, who looked like he was about to faint, he couldn’t shift into his beast, because Chaos suppressed him. “Let him go!”
Zuri looked at Chaos in the eyes and she got chill ran down her spine because the man that she saw right now was so cold, it almost felt like the Chaos that she knew had slipped away from her fingers. This was someone else, the monster that they were afraid Chaos would become.
And he was only a step away from becoming that monster.
“Chaos!” Zuri screamed at him, but he didn’t seem to recognize her, the only thing in his eyes were Darius and the killing intent that emanated from him was so strong. “LET HIM GO!”
“You will never be able to overpower him,” Knox commented from afar, he didn’t change his position at all, as if he was watching a boring show. “Just let him to kill that man.”
“We need him!” Zuri was upset with Knox. “We can use him!”
Right at that time, Chaos roared furiously, as he shook Norbeat and Zuri away from him, there was this loud sound like an explosion that sent the four people near him across the room.
Zuri’s body would have collided against the wall if it was not for Knox moved so fast and held her. He protected her from the worst, as he took the brunt.
“Move away from me, you are so heavy,” Knox grunted, as Zuri was on top of his body and dirt and debris fell from above their head. “This is so annoying.”
Zuri coughed several time, but she pushed her body away from Knox and then looked at Chaos, who had fallen to the ground. It seemed he had lost his consciousness.
Seeing that, Zuri immediately approached him and checked on him.
“He is not dead,” Knox commented, as he patted the dust from his body and then walked over to check on Chaos as well. “But seriously, you need to find his shattered soul again, or else, you will see him lost control like earlier.”
Zuri looked at Knox, she knew what he said was right.
“You need to come with me.”
“Hell, no.” He looked at Zuri with disgust.
========================
“Stop making that expression, you make my stomach upset,” Zuri said, as she sipped her drink, while Knox was sitting in front of her.
For now, they were inside a café that was not so crowded.
It was easier for Zuri to find Chaos’s shattered soul in the city, where there were many people lived there.
This was Grende city, near the new capital city of Artzees country, Lucinda city.
Before, Knox found Chaos’s shattered soul here, thus he took Zuri to the same place, in hope they could find another one. With her ability, the search supposed to be faster.
“Make it fast,” Knox grunted. He didn’t order anything because he wanted to get out from here as soon as possible, he had his own problem to be fixed too.
