244 SHE IS MINE

Zuri was about to pay for her meal as she was done eating, though she couldn’t finish all the food. After all, she ordered so much just out of spite, but she felt better now that she was fully fed.

However, just as she was about to leave, someone sat down on the couch across from her, grinning. He didn’t have any scent on him and even though she was not sure what kind of creature this man was, she knew that he was not human. Actually, it reminded Zuri of Hades. He didn’t have any scent on him either.

“Hi, Blue,” he said in a warm greeting. “Can we chat for a bit?”

The way he called her alarmed Zuri. She didn’t like it when someone called her with her old name, but it always felt different if Chaos was the one who did that.

She didn’t complain when it was Chaos and didn’t correct him either.

“What are you?” Zuri asked him, her voice was so cold and her gaze turned sharp when she showed how much hostility she felt toward this unknown creature.

“I am an old friend,” he said lightly. “You don’t need to be on guard with me. I am a nice person.”

Zuri rolled her eyes. Whatever intention this man had, she wouldn’t stay behind to entertain him, therefore, without saying a word, she stood up and was about to leave when this man grabbed her wrist.

Zuri hissed maliciously and swatted his hand away from her, as she could feel the familiar feelings of repulsion crawling on her skin. She could stand Chaos, she could tolerate his touch, but not other people, especially not this stranger.

.....

Zuri swatted his hand away, but his grip on her wrist was too tight. She felt like he was going to break her bones instead of preventing her from leaving.

“I want to talk with you just for a minute, to know you better, why are you complicating things?” The man tilted his head, confused, but his expression only made Zuri want to claw his face.

“Let go of my hand,” Zuri said in a low and threatening growl. She could care less about the people around her hearing her growling like a shifter. They didn’t care about her, as they enjoyed the time of their lives.

“What if I said ‘no’?” the man chuckled and when Zuri stared straight into his eyes, she got lost in them.

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

Nikolai changed his gear as fast as he could to go to the underground, where they assembled all the new recruits for this year, which included his sister, Vanesha.

It had been five years since the last time he saw or spoke to her and he didn’t want to waste even a second to see her again.

It was rare for the members of the Delta to be in town, therefore, no matter how hard he wanted to see her, he couldn’t. Not to mention, the security around the facility was very tight.

“Has the ceremony started yet?” Nikolai asked one of the Delta, who was on duty there.

“Five more minutes,” he said.

Five minutes was not a long period of time, but it was enough for Nikolai to find his little sister. He could find more time for a long conversation later.

He got information that this year was not as productive as the previous year. There were only sixty eight teenagers, who turned sixteen this year and most of them were boys, thus it wouldn’t be hard for Nikolai to find Vanesha.

Once Nikolai entered the underground facility, which was a vast place under the building, he skimmed the whole area, while walking through a few teenagers, who looked confused and scared, but he couldn’t find his little sister there.

Frustrated, Nikolai stood in the middle of these new recruits and felt someone was approaching him very fast.

It was his instinct, the instinct that he had built over these five years to sense his surroundings, to feel any danger that came to him, and at such speed, of course, he felt very alert.

Nikolai turned around, fingers already curled to punch the intruder that came his way only to find out it was Vanesha.

Her expression was mortified when she saw Nikolai was about to punch her. She froze and the bright smile on her face disappeared all of a sudden.

While the punch didn’t reach its target, Nikolai had still grabbed her neck very fast and would have caused serious injury if he didn’t recognize her in time.

For a moment, they stood like that, staring at each other, not knowing what to say or how to react from then on.

But then, Nikolai pulled his little sister into his arms and hugged her tightly. He sighed in relief to see her here. She looked healthy and that was all he cared about.

“That’s how you greet me?” Vanesha asked him, while she wrapped her arms around his waist. She buried her face in his chest.

“I am sorry, you startled me because I can’t find you among the new recruits here,” Nikolai said and he pulled away from her gently, so he could look at her clearly.

Hearing that, Vanesha brightened up, she then informed him of the most unexpected thing. “I am not with the new recruits, the scientists recruited me.”

“What?” Nikolai never heard the scientists recruiting someone around Vanesha’s age before. The only young people in their place were their experimental objects...

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

The music died down and the people stopped moving their bodies, as the atmosphere turned humid and time seemed to stop, when Chaos appeared in the bar again only to find Zuri was in the arms of a man, unconscious.

Chaos’ dark blue eyes turned a few shades darker when he saw this.

“Chaos...” the man chanted his name, as if he was glad that he finally met him. His yellow eyes brightened at seeing how this man had stopped the time in his anger just because he held this girl. He really wanted to laugh at his overprotective nature and his over the board reaction. “It’s a pleasure to see you again.”

Chaos said nothing, his eyes were on Zuri. He couldn’t take her back without hurting her, if he didn’t let her go on his own accord, like when he did with other supernatural creatures, since their powers clashed and that was not how it worked.

“Give her to me,” Chaos said in a guttural voice. In this sudden quiet place, his voice echoed through the walls.

Aaron looked down at the girl and then smirked. He was cradling her in his arms, while her white hair cascaded down her shoulders, brushing his skin. It felt soft and he liked it.

“Why should I? I found her first, she was sitting here alone.” Aaron then lifted his head to look at Chaos arrogantly, when he spoke again. “So, she is mine.”

It was not clear whether he said that to anger Chaos or not, but it worked.

The abomination appeared right in front of Aaron and shoved him aside, as he took Zuri out of his arms swiftly.

It happened very fast and the after effect of it was quite horrible to say the least.

Aaron ended up destroying three tables before the wall stopped his momentum and left a huge dent there. What happened, caused a few people there to get injured, since they couldn’t flee anywhere, as time stopped for them.

However, Aaron didn’t seem to bother about that, he immediately stood up and dusted the dirt from his tacky bright red sweater.

“Huft, your temper is still bad, you should work on it,” Aaron said in a languid tone, as he watched how Chaos completely ignored him. He even ignored the injury that he suffered because he touched him.

Yes, Chaos was injured because he touched Aaron. His palm, the hand that he used to shove Aaron away, was blistered. It even turned bright red, as if he just put his own hand in a furnace.

However, Chaos didn’t flinch at all, his brows didn’t even furrow when the pain shot through his system. He welcomed the feeling. It was not everyday he felt this kind of uncomfortable feeling.

“I have told you to stay away from his girl,” Hades reminded him, he appeared all of a sudden in the middle of this tense situation. He sat down on top of the bar with a glass of whiskey in his hand.

Aaron shrugged. “Why should I?” he said mockingly and then walked toward Chaos again. “We can repeat the story from the past, right?”

Chaos pulled Zuri closer to him and growled at Aaron. It was a rare thing to see him getting this serious when he faced a provocation.

The last time he lashed out was five years ago when he turned the entire realm upside down and separated the country into two sides; the human side and the non-human side.

“Don’t worry, I will not let your little white wolf be hurt again by the people in the village like centuries ago.” Aaron smiled brightly when his yellow eyes fixed on Zuri’s sleeping face. “I will not be that cruel to let you go through the same painful memory again.”

Chaos narrowed his eyes, the only thing that could prevent him from doing the thing that would make him regret was having Zuri in his arms.

“I will not let you go through that, but I can not promise all the dark creatures will have the same intentions as me.”
