Therefore, when Eros nudged her to rest on his shoulder, she was so thankful, because she didn’t want to look like she didn’t take this mission seriously by sleeping away during their journey.

“Come here, rest your head on my shoulder, you must feel sleepy.” Eros pushed Emily’s head gently against his shoulder so she could rest. “Sleep for a while. It will take a few hours before we arrive at Lucinda city”

Emily happily obliged that, she hugged his arm and rested her head. She didn’t even bother with the fact that Josh was with them.

His presence was not as scary as before, especially when Eros was next to her, there was no way he would be stupid enough to do anything ridiculous.

And with that, Emily closed her eyes. She felt Eros’s fingers that combed her hair. It felt so nice and it helped her to sleep faster when he played with her hair like this.

She slept soundless throughout two hours of their journey and only woke up when Eros put cold water against her cheek, which surprised her.

Emily opened her eyes groggily and found Eros was grinning at her with a bottle of cold water in his hand.

Sometime, he would make this silly joke when he woke her up and watched her surprised expression amused him.

.....

“What is that for?” Emily grumbled. She rubbed her face to get rid of her sleepiness, as she looked out the window.

They stopped at the rest area, while Josh and Coton were not there.

“We will not take another stop again after this, because we need to reach Lucinda city before noon. If you need to go to restroom, you should go now,” Eros informed her and then gave her the cold water and bread. “You have not yet eaten anything this morning.”

Emily thanked him and then drank the water after Eros opened the lid, but she needed to go to restroom first.

“I will go to restroom first,” Emily said, as she opened the car door and then walked toward the convenient store, where she could find the restroom, but when she looked back, she found Eros was following her. “Where are you going?”

“Restroom,” Eros replied lightly. He put his arm on her shoulder.

“You will leave the car? The engine is still on.” Emily was concerned about it, but Eros just nodded to his left, where Josh ran from the convenient store toward the car. “Oh.”

She didn’t make fuss about it and let Eros came with her.

From what she knew, they would arrive at Lucinda city around four or five hours from now and if everything went as they had been planned, they would go back to the pack early in the next morning, that was what she heard in her drowsy state.

Emily relieved herself and spent another two minutes to splash some water to her face, so she could feel a little bit fresh.

And when she walked out of the restroom, Eros was waiting for her next to the door. “I am done,” she said and Eros nodded, as he followed her, which made her frowned. “Don’t you want to use it too?”

Eros shook his head. “Let’s buy something for us to eat,” he said, as he grabbed her hand and took a few bread that both of them liked.

Emily stared at their hands. His hand was so big and warm and this gave her a peaceful feeling, she felt protected whenever she was with him.

Eros must be anxious because this was the first time for her to be on a mission, that’s why he became even more protective, but Emily didn’t mind it at all. She liked this side of him.

“Why are you smiling?” Eros frowned when he saw Emily was smiling at him. He stared at her reflection on the mirror when he took a few bread with him.

Hearing that, Emily bit her lip to stop herself for being silly, she glanced at her reflection on the mirror and found her face had turned red, but more of that she found something more interesting.

“I don’t remember that you have grown so tall like this.” Emily tilted her head. The top of her head only reached his shoulder and his body could easily say twice her size. “I remember we are on the same height when I met you for the first time when we were little. You have grown up.”

Of course, Emily knew this, but only now it struck her that she noticed how much they had grown up.

“Don’t be silly, do you want to be petite forever?” Eros ruffled her hair and then shoved a few breads to her arms. “Let’s go, we need to leave now.”

Eros slung his arm around her shoulder and then paid what they bought in that convenient store before they left this place.

“Where are you going?” Gael frowned when he saw River was holding hand with Zuri, as both of them went to the basement.

“I will show the café that I like to Zuri,” River told her father.

“What is it?” Zuri could see the trouble in Gael’s expression. She was amazed that she still could read him like this.

Gael shook his head and then looked at Zuri impassively when he spoke. “A few people from shadow moon pack will arrive around this noon.”

Zuri narrowed her eyes, there was animosity that flashed in her hazel eyes for a moment, before they turned cold. “Is it the alpha of the pack?”

Gael shook his head again. “No, his beta and gamma and another two people.”

On the other hand, River looked at the exchange between the two of them and felt the tension in the air.

“Hm.” Zuri nodded. “You accepted them here.” Even though you knew how Zuri was with that pack. However, she didn’t say the last sentence out loud.

“This is just business. We can get benefit from their visit as well.” Gael knew that Zuri would be upset, but he had accepted them before Knox told him about their plan to move here.

“In that case, I don’t have a say. It will be great if they really benefit us.” Zuri turned around and River followed her.

The benefit that they talked about here was; there was a possibility that the people from the pack was one of Chaos’s shattered souls. In that case, Zuri would be glad to tell Chaos about it.

That was why, Gael accepted any kind of guest, whether people came here to innocently stay or they were supernatural creature, who were on a mission, Gael would accept them all.

“Did my father annoy you?” River asked Zuri, as she tried to catch up with her long stride. She could see how upset she was right now.

“No,” Zuri replied lightly and then stretched out her hand. “Let me drive, it has been a while, since I drove.”

River was a little bit sceptical when she handed the car key to Zuri. “Are you sure, you will be fine?” She pointed the car that they would use and both of them walked toward it.

“Of course.”

“We will stay here for this afternoon and we will meet with that person in this evening.” Colton took his backpack and waited for the other. “Rest well and we will meet at the hotel lobby at four.”

It meant, they had three hours to rest.

Eros helped Emily with her backpack and told her to grab his jacket instead, because he was handful, so she wouldn’t wonder around.

“I am not a child,” Emily grumbled, but she did it.

“Just do it.”

The four of them then checked in and got two rooms, Eros would be with Emily, while Josh would be with Colton.

“Rest well.” Colton waved his hand when they reached their respective room, which only across from each other.

Emily then waved the card in front of the screen door to unlock it.

This hotel room was very nice with balcony that showed the whole city, it would be nice at night with so many lamps lit up against the night sky.

“I feel like we are on vacation instead of on a mission.” Emily threw her body on the bed. It felt so soft and comfy.

On the other hand, Eros smiled when he heard that comment. “I don’t know that you will be this happy to go out of the pack.”

“This is the first time we go out of the pack together.” Usually, she would go to the nearby city with Ariana, it was a small city, but they had complete herbs that they needed a few remedies.

Eros put down their backpack and then sat down on the edge of the bed. “Do you like here?” he asked casually.

“Hm? What do you mean?”

“Do you like this city? Living among your kind?” Eros tilted his head to see Emily’s expression. “You don’t need to go back to the pack if you…”

Eros had not yet finished his words when Emily hugged him from behind. “You know that impossible. The alpha will not stay put if he knows I stay.” She knew a lot of secret to be freed from him.
