230 I WANT TO BE WITH YOU

It was hard for Eros to finally be able to find Emily, because she was not in her room. Somehow, someone had made her move all of her things somewhere since Eros couldn’t find her in her bedroom.

Initially, Emily’s bedroom was next to Eros and she loved her room. After y, the walls were painted light blue, in the color of the sky. Further, she got so many dolls. They were all placed here by Alpha Liam for her to play on the second day they came here, along with a few cute dresses that were second handed from the other children in the pack.

Emily was over the moon to get new dresses, but for some reason, all the things that she got were still inside her room, but her old dresses and her Mr. Bear were no longer there, along with the owner.

Eros’ expression darkened further when he realized this. He couldn’t believe that Emily had been moved somewhere, without his knowledge.

Therefore, he needed to track her in this pack house, only to find her in the west wing of this building, where the omegas lived.

At this point, Eros didn’t know what an Omega was, but later on, he would learn that the omega was the lowest rank shifter in a pack. And that they usually helped with the chores in this pack. One of the reasons why the big kitchen was in the west wing, the place where the omegas lived.

Because they were responsible for preparing the food for the whole pack and cleaning up the pack house as well.

Eros found Emily at a corner of the kitchen. She was crying silently, while the other shifters there pretended as if they didn’t know her, like she was actually invisible. They didn’t like humans in general, even with the little girl being there, it didn’t change anything.

Emily hugged Mr. Bear in her arms and looked at the people walking around the big kitchen with plates of food in their hands and talking to each other.

.....

Eros frowned at this sight and approached the little girl with the plate full of food in his hand. He knelt down in front of her and once Emily’s eyes caught him, she started tearing up before hugging him, almost knocking down the plate full of food from Eros’ hand.

The young lycan said nothing and only held her in his arms, as he put down the plate on the floor and caressed her back.

Everyone inside the big kitchen stopped what they were doing and stared at the two of them. Of course, they knew who they were and what exactly was happening, but they chose to continue their activities and pretended like they saw nothing.

Seeing this, Eros’ face darkened again. He disliked these people.

“Stand up, Emily,” Eros said when her cries had slightly subsided and then helped her to stand up before walking her back to her bedroom.

Emily kept hugging Eros’ waist when she walked down the corridor to go to Eros’ room, since her room was locked now.

“What happened?” Eros wiped the tears off her cheeks and tucked her hair behind her ears. Her hair had become long now.

“Last night someone woke me up,” Emily said between her sobs. “And then carried me to a small bedroom near the big kitchen. He told me that I will sleep there from now onward. I am not allowed to enter my room again because I am human.”

“Who did that?” Eros furrowed his brows.

Emily wiped her face harshly and bit her lips to prevent herself from crying again. “Damon.”

It was the beta of this pack that had taken her away from her bedroom last night with another two men and told her that she was not allowed to be in the main hall or to meet Eros.

“I don’t want to stay in the west wing.” She hiccuped.

“You will stay here from now on.” Eros caressed her head.

“Okay.” Emily lifted her head to look at Eros, she blinked her hazel eyes and a big fat tear fell on her cheek again.

“Don’t go out without me.”

“I want to leave this place, I don’t like this place.”

Eros didn’t like this place as well. Especially after seeing how they treated Emily, but the world out there was way crueler than they could imagine and the more important part was; Eros didn’t want to be in the human world, he didn’t want to go to the facility again and become an experimental subject.

“If you don’t like to be here, I can take you to Lucinda city and you can live among the humans, but I will not go with you.”

Hearing that, Emily teared up again and hugged Eros tightly. “No, I want to be with you,” she sobbed hard until she was having a hard time breathing. Eros was the only person that she knew. “I want to stay here. I want to be here with you.”

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

Zuri was sitting on top of the dining table, not on a chair, when July came inside the room and raised her brows at her.

“Get down, young lady, that’s a table, not a chair,” she scolded her a little. Since she was the youngest in this place, they got used to treating her like their little sister and sometimes, aside from her strong fa?ade, her childish side would come to the surface. She was seventeen after all and she could be immature when she put her guard down.

Zuri pouted her lips, but got down from the table to sit on the chair and continued eating her dinner.

“Why don’t you go to see Anne?” July asked as she poured a glass of water for herself before downing it.

“After I eat, I will go see her,” Zuri murmured. She stood in front of Anne’s door for so long, but didn’t have the courage to step inside.
