Chapter 519: 519 WE NEED TO TALK

519 WE NEED TO TALK

Emily felt her heart was throbbing painfully, even the night when they walk in secret toward Xerxes’s room was no longer enjoyable for her. She was fidgeting the whole time and when Eros went inside the room to talk with Xerxes, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

“Emily, what are you doing here?”

Emily jolted in surprise when she heard Ariana’s voice, as she walked closer to her with a frown on her face.

What she was doing here? That was the first thought that came to Emily’s mind, because it was not usual for her to be here, ever since she was tasked by looking for alpha Xerxes, Ariana had never set a step to this place.

“I…” Emily found herself unable to speak. What she should do now? if Ariana came closer, she would know that Eros was inside with Xerxes and the last time something like this happened, the other person ended up dead.

However, there was no way they could kill Ariana.

“Hm? What is it?” Ariana narrowed her eyes, as she fixed her gaze at the door behind Emily. Of course, she knew what room was that. “Someone inside?” she guessed it right.

Emily gulped down so hard and without her knowing, Ariana was already standing in front of her, she extended her hand to twist the door knob, but Emily immediately yanked her hand away and shook her head.

“No, Ariana. Please, go. Just forget about this.” This was a very foolish plea, since it would only increase her curiosity.

.....

Ariana was silence for a moment, as she studied Emily’s expression. “Is Eros inside?”

That was not even a question that needed to be answered, since Emily’s change of expression had answered that already.

She was not really good at lying, especially to someone close to her.

“Eros inside, right?” Ariana swatted Emily’s hand away and then walked into the room.

It was not that Emily couldn’t hold her back, but what the benefit of doing that? She would create commotion and more people would come, which was a disadvantage for her and Eros.

And moreover, Ariana could guess it right the reason why Emily was there in such late hour, there was no way she moved alone.

“Eros.” That was the first word that came out of Ariana’s lips when she saw the man was standing right in front of her, as if he had been waiting for her.

Eros had heard that conversation between Emily and Ariana. If this was someone else, or any other guard, like the last time, he wouldn’t think twice before killing them, but the problem was; this was Ariana, Colton’s mate and the healer of the pack.

If she were found dead, there was no way the investigation would be dropped so fast like the last time. She was too much a big figure for this pack.

“May I know why you are here?” Ariana glanced through Eros’s shoulder and found Xerxes was sleeping already. Eros had injected him and put him to sleep when he heard her voice. “I think I made it clear for Emily that no one should be here, except for her and this is a secret task.” Ariana shifted her attention toward Emily right now, who was standing behind her with her head lowered.

“This is…” Emily was trying to find an excuse, wrecking her brain to no avail, because she couldn’t think any reasonable reason under this pressure.

It was Eros, who talked first. “Can we talk somewhere quiet?” he walked closer to Ariana, but the healer didn’t feel intimidated by him. She stood her ground and looked at the young lycan right in the eyes.

“Sure,” Ariana said after some thinking and then turned around to walk out of the room again, while Emily looked at Eros apologetically.

“Eros… I…”

“It’s okay.” Eros ruffled her hair to calm her down, as if saying that she didn’t do anything wrong. He would handle this.

Emily lowered her head, she didn’t look at ease, as she followed them out of the room.

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

“He is Chaos’s shattered soul, right?” Knox said, as he looked at Nikolai from afar, he had keen eyes and recognized the traits immediately and then shifted his attention toward Zuri. “You will not lie again to me, Zuri.”

Zuri schooled her expression and spoke curtly. “Yes.”

If she lied again, Knox would know that she was capable of doing that with straight face, just like the case with Eros and it would hard for her to get his trust, not to mention that there was a case about July’s daughter.

She had never told anyone about it and still cursed Gael secretly for telling her such thing. This was when she realized that ignorant was a bliss. She wouldn’t get a headache like this if Gael simply didn’t let her know about it all.

“We need to get him,” Knox said, there was no room for negotiation. “What is it?” he frowned when he realized that Zuri stared at Chaos and both of them communicated in silence.

“This will happen sooner or later,” Chaos simply said that. He promised her previously that he would put Nikolai last and Zuri swore that would be the last time she asked for him to do so.

However, Eros came to the picture and she pleaded with him again, therefore what they were talking about that night was invalid.

Zuri lowered her head and then nodded. “I will go to see him, wait for me at the back alley.” She then stood up. They would create commotion if they took his soul right there and then.

But above all, she wanted to greet her childhood friend. A few conversation wouldn’t hurt and Zuri believed he wouldn’t turn her away or do her harm just because he knew she was a supernatural creature.

“Nikolai,” Zuri called his name when she walked closer to him.
