503 SHE FELT INSECURE

Emily’s heart shattered when she saw the way Eros threw a death glare at the man, who kissed Zuri. He must be her significant other. She knew that because Eros had told her about that man, assured her there would be nothing happened between the two of them, since they had their important person in their life.

However, what Emily was seeing right now had completely shattered her fragile confidence to believe what Eros said, because despite they were being a mate, they were not compatible with each other.

Eros had reassured her and said every word that she wanted to hear, to put her heart at ease, but it would be too difficult after what she witnessed tonight.

Emily also watched how the four people disappeared in a blink of an eye, along with Zuri, who was kissing her man. There was this relief that Eros didn’t need to watch it for a long time and she also didn’t need to see how angry Eros was to witness that.

Yet, the look in his eyes, would forever etch in her mind because Eros had never seen someone with so much jealous and killing intent like that. He was the most gentle and caring man for her.

“Eros,” Emily called him, she was bringing her backpack and one more bag in her hand when she approached them after she calmed herself down. She didn’t want Eros to see she was freaking out again because of Zuri.

After all, they were about to go, they wouldn’t cross path again. She hoped they wouldn’t.

Heard his name was being called, Eros turned around and approached Emily immediately, as he took her backpack and another bag from her hand. His expression had returned to normal, as if the anger that she saw earlier was only in her mind and he actually didn’t make that look.

“Let’s go,” Eros said, as he slung the backpack on his shoulder and grabbed the other bag in one hand, while he grabbed Emily’s wrist to escort her to the car, which made Emily clutched onto him, as if her life depended on it, which made Eros was a little bit confused, but he didn’t say anything.

.....

Eros put all the bag on the backseat, next to Colton, as Emily would sit next to him.

Before he started the engine, he would do what he always did; he would check her seatbelt and made sure that she was buckled up.

Eros had been in a lot of accident during his mission, which most of those were fatal, but because he was a shifter, he could survive that, but for Emily, she would die in an instant if she had to experience such thing, therefore, he took extra precaution when he was with her.

Moreover, this was their first trip together out of the pack, so he didn’t want there was a mishap.

“Are you ready?” Eros asked, as he started the engine, which let out a soft grunt.

“Yes, let’s go home.” She wanted to scream at him to get her out of here, she wanted Eros to be as far away as possible from Zuri. “Let’s go home, Eros.”

On the other hand, Colton, who was sitting at the backseat could feel the tension in the air, he stared at Eros, but the young lycan refused to look at him.

Eros was deep in thought. He didn’t have say goodbye to Zuri, but then what he would get for saying that useless thing?

The second time they would meet again, that would be the time when they would end thing between them, the stupid mate bond that tied them down without their consent.

However, no matter how many times Eros told himself that he didn’t want his mate and being together with her was an impossible clausal and they lived in two different world, which wouldn’t let them to cross path with each other, the image of her was being kissed by another man kept playing in his mind. His blood boiled whenever he remembered the way that man touched her.

“You will break the steering wheel,” Emily said gently, as she grabbed his hand.

Only then, Eros realized that he had been gripping the steering wheel too tight, because tighter than this, he would break it and put all of them in danger.

Slowly, he loosened up, but said nothing and didn’t even look at Emily, whose face was crestfallen, because she knew what was going on in his mind more or less.

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

“How do you plan to go to the alpha?” Zuri asked Knox, because he managed to calm Gael down and led them toward the pack house.

There were a few people, who was still on the street and woke up at this hour, but they didn’t say anything, the most they could was to stare at them, since they came in peace, they thought these four people must be a traveler or guest of someone, since they were passed the guards and was allowed to roam around this pack.

“Go straight to the pack house and ask where is the alpha,” Knox said lightly.

“What?” This was not the first time for Zuri to do this job, but they would do it in secret, therefore there wouldn’t be many confrontations and commotion.

But, it would be different story if they used Knox’s method.

“Are you sure, that’s safe?” Zuri looked at Chaos, who didn’t say much, he just stared at her and played with her hair, what happened with him?

“Are you talking about your safety when you are with the three of us?” Gael cracked his knuckles in excitement, despite he was the one, who told them that he was too old to fight. “Are you losing your wits?”

Zuri came to him and pinch his arm for saying that.

“What is that for?” Gael protested.

“Shut up,” Knox snapped.
