Knox didn’t need to ask who the girl was, it went without saying that it was Zuri. Chaos wouldn’t be with someone else, but... “Why is Norbeat there?”

Killian scrunched his nose, as he crossed his arms in front of his chest because Knox dodged his question. “I don’t know. You can ask Chaos when you meet him. And you have not yet answered my question,” he reminded him, refusing to be distracted.

“If Chaos didn’t want to tell you, what made you think that I would?” Knox raised his brows and then disappeared from in front of Killian, which made the dragon shifter grunt angrily.

“Where the hell did he bring me?!” Killian looked at his surroundings and frowned because this place was so dirty and he hated to be in places like this.

It didn’t take long before he disappeared as well, after all, he needed to get one more creature according to Chaos’ order.

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

“What is it?” July woke up when she felt Knox pepper her with small kisses, he would only do this if he wanted to wake her up gently.

July pushed herself to sit down and rubbed her sleepy eyes to see Knox smiling softly at her, but she knew there was something that he wanted to say.

.....

“Something is wrong?” July looked around her to see if there was something different or if she could catch a strange noise from afar, but there was nothing, the night was so quiet.

“There is nothing wrong,” Knox said to calm her down and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear. “I just want you to know that I will be away for a few days. I hope it will not be more than a week.”

Upon hearing that, July furrowed her brows. “Where will you go?” she had never heard of such urgent news which could make him leave all of a sudden in the middle of the night like this.

“I need to go and meet Chaos.”

For some reason, July didn’t like it. She didn’t particularly dislike Chaos, but she knew better that everything related to him would be bad news.

July closed her eyes and rested her head against Knox’s shoulder, as he wound his arms around her body. He knew exactly what she felt, but there was no way for Knox to not oblige this, because without Chaos’ shattered soul within him, he would cease to exist...

“A week,” July repeated the two words. “Are you sure it will only be a week?” The last time Knox left to aid Chaos, he was gone for five years. How could she believe him this time?

“This is not the same as last time, July,” Knox replied to July’s thoughts.

“You read my mind,” July said, but there was no accusation in her voice. When it came to matters like this, she was glad that she didn’t need to put her feelings into words, because she was not able to express her own thoughts.

“I can’t help it.” Knox caressed her back, he needed to soothe her anxiety. “I need to go now. I will be back very soon.”

July bit her lips, preventing herself from crying in front of Knox. She felt like she was being too emotional recently, especially after she witnessed how cruel this man could be. There was a time when she felt like he was not the man that she knew, like he turned into someone else completely.

“A week then.” July released herself from Knox and looked at him. “Make sure to come before that.”

Knox leaned over and kissed her on the lips, as he whispered. “Promise. I will return as soon as possible.”

And after saying that, Knox disappeared, as if he had never been there in the first place.

For a moment, July savored this loneliness, she cried for a while, letting out how hurt her feelings were and let this pain sink in, before she wiped her face and got off the bed.

Knox would be away for quite a while, thus she thought it would be the right time to do this. She wouldn’t be given another chance to do it if Knox were here.

July took her jacket and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was disheveled while her eyes were so red, but she didn’t want to wait until morning. She was too anxious and she was afraid she would change her mind and back away if she didn’t do this immediately.

Mohan appeared in front of Nikolai’s door, holding a brown envelope.

“Did you get it?” That was the first question that Nikolai asked when he opened the door for Mohan and let him enter the apartment.

Mohan simply waved the envelope and walked into the room, as he flopped down on the couch and handed it to him.

“Just like what you thought, your sister met with someone,” Mohan said simply. He then turned on the television, which started telecasting news about the last attack of the supernatural creatures on the city’s border, which managed to be neutralized right in time.

There was nothing special about this, since this became everyday news for them by now, especially the attacks from vampires, as they craved for human blood, therefore, Mohan switched the channel and watched cartoons instead.

Meanwhile, Nikolai checked the envelope that was given to him and saw two pictures of Vanesha with a strange man.

One was when she glanced at him while waiting for a train and the other one was a picture of her and the same man sitting next to each other, even though almost all the seats were literally empty in this part of the train.

“Do you know who it is?” Nikolai asked Mohan without taking his eyes off the picture. It was hard to see the guy’s face, because he was wearing a mask and a baseball cap. However, he got this familiar feeling from him.

“Nope. Still investigating it.” Mohan raised his head and then looked at Nikolai.

These were those rare moments where he could see how serious his friend could be, until he looked very intimidating and scary. Knowing him for a long time, Mohan could say that Nikolai actually had a laid back personality, but this time, it was different.

After all, it was his sister that they were talking about.

“Do you want to keep investigating it?” Mohan wanted to make sure of this.

“Yes.” Nikolai wanted to know what kind of deal his sister had made with this man and who this person was.

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

“What are we doing here?” Eros asked Liam, who drove the car around this town, asking around for a bar named ‘Neon Nights’ only to watch the building from outside for a while before driving away from there. “You don’t want to go inside?”

“No, I will go to the bar tomorrow, but you will stay in the hotel.” Liam didn’t even look at Eros’ questioning expression when he mentioned this.

“Why did you bring me on this journey if all I can do is wait for you inside the hotel?” They travelled so far to reach East Draghar with so much difficulty because the security was so tight, as they were supernatural creatures and no non- human being was allowed to enter this country.

But, after putting in such painstaking efforts, all Eros had to do was wait for him without so much of an explanation about what they were here to do?

“You always leave me in the dark,” Eros stated. He looked at Liam intently, but the man refused to reciprocate it and busied himself with the task of taking them to their hotel.

Only when they finally arrived at their hotel did Liam turn around and then look at him before he spoke to him in a stern voice.

“I don’t want you to go out tomorrow. Do not leave your hotel room for the whole day.”

Eros raised his brows and then scoffed at him. “You only waste my time,” he said before he walked out of the car and strode toward the lobby.

If he knew Liam would only waste his time like this, he would have preferred to stay back in the pack and accompany Emily instead.

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

Zuri woke up when she felt this strange feeling that made her feel uncomfortable. This feeling was very sudden and she couldn’t recall what actually was going on. She felt like she had a bad dream, but couldn’t recall what it was about.

“Chaos?” Zuri called his name softly because she didn’t feel his presence, thus she turned on the lights only to find that she was alone in this room.

Without thinking twice, she got off the bed and followed his scent. It was easy to find him when his scent was very vivid.

Walking down the stairs, Zuri followed the scent that led her to one particular room, the door of which was slightly ajar, and she could see Norbeat inside along with other people.

Zuri caught another familiar scent, which made her furrow her brows.

Knox? She was sure that it was his scent inside.

But, what was he doing here and what were they talking about?

In the end, Zuri’s curiosity got the better of her, as she crept closer to eavesdrop on their conversation.
