493 IF I DON’T HAVE YOU, I DON’T HAVE ANYONE

“Is he your mate?” Gael questioned Zuri.

The question from Gael came all of sudden, but it was not unexpected, he must have his own suspicious the moment he watched the interaction between them, especially when he knew Zuri long enough to tell that.

Yet, Zuri still put up with her pretense and frowned. “What do you mean?” She didn’t know what reaction that she should give him.

Gael was silence for a moment and then bobbed his head. “I see…” he mumbled. “I don’t believe it at first, I thought I see thing, but your reaction gives away the answer.”

Zuri froze, how easy it was for Gael to read her? His instinct and intuition were something that you couldn’t take lightly.

“So, I am right,” he stated. “Congratulation to finally meet with your mate.” There was no joy in the way he said it, because the next thing that he was about to say was the question that she didn’t want to answer. “But, the real question is; is he Chaos’s shattered soul?” f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

Gael pushed his body against the wall and then approached her. Zuri was sitting on the sofa with her head down, she was unable to form any lie in front of him.

What’s the point when he already knew it.

“Did Chaos know about this?” Gael asked again. He knelt down in front of her, so they were in the same eyes level.

.....

Zuri nodded.

“I see.” Gael sighed deeply. “I am not a shifter, but I know a mate is a great deal for creature like you.”

Zuri raised her head and then looked at him, she was not sure how she had to feel about this, because Gael was so calm. Probably, it would be easier if he had a strong reaction like how she thought Knox would be.

Gael tousled her hair. “I guess it means, Chaos will let that shifter alive, right? He will not do anything, until the end and put him last.”

Zuri nodded again. “But, if you can tell, Knox and Skylar will be able to tell that too, right?” She became anxious, which she hated it that she actually cared this much to Eros.

Only if this uncomfortable and anguish feelings did not exist, she would have ended Eros’s life by herself.

Unfortunately, the universe didn’t allow her to do that, she was under the impression that her world would crumble down in her feet the moment her mate breathed his last.

Though, not all shifter would die because they couldn’t have their mate or because of rejection, but still the pain was not something fun to feel.

Why it was not Chaos? Despite the fact that Eros’s soul belonged to Chaos, but still, it felt weird and made things became even more complicated,

“About that…” Gael narrowed his eyes, he was in a deep thought. “I think they believe what you said. After all, no one has feeling as deep as you for Chaos. I doubt they will believe otherwise, despite their dissatisfaction, they must think it is a rare coincidence.” Gael shrugged his shoulder. “Without you, they brought the wrong shattered soul as many as they brought the real one. Good thing is; they can’t kill the shattered soul and has to bring them to Chaos alive.”

Yeah, that was the only fact that was reassuring, because with that, Eros wouldn’t be killed by the two of them.

Zuri was grateful for Gael to say those reassuring words. She rubbed her face roughly and eyed the man before him. He became so old than the first time she met him.

“So, why are you here?” She leaned her back against the sofa and Gael sat next to her. “You were not coming here just to put me at ease, right? You are not that kind…”

“I am here because I want to take you somewhere.” Gael’s expression was a little bit conflicted when he said this, which put Zuri on alert.

“Where?” Zuri straightened her back when she heard how Gael was very reluctant to say this.

“Let’s go to see July and Sebastian.” Gael blurted out. “I have asked Knox whether or not he wants to see her, but he refuses even to hear her name.”

Gael was not there during the time when July left the manor, thus he only saw how distraught and heartbroken July was at that time, but Zuri, on the other hand, witnessed all of Knox’s struggle to face the reality that the woman he loved, leaving her.

Most of the time, he passed it in robotic routine, finishing his task as soon as possible, challenging his own limit and then he would jump to the next assignment right away.

Or, he would stay inside his room, doing nothing for days before he went to the same extreme routine, torturing himself.

“I don’t think Knox will see her again. He sticks to his words.” Zuri wondered, if Knox was part of Chaos’s soul, would he act the same if they were in the same position? Would he never see her again?

“Yeah, I guess that… but, will you see her? There is something that I want you to see.” Gael was hesitated and this put Zuri on edge.

“What?” She became impatient.

“I want you to see her child.” Gael then added. “I think that is Knox’s child, but I am not sure about that. Will you come with me, whether or not the child is Chaos’s shattered soul?”

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

Emily was exceptionally clingy at this time and she didn’t want to be left alone, she would literally plastered Eros everywhere, even though he just went to the next room to see how was Colton’s condition.

Eros could feel her uneasiness, but he didn’t say anything about that and let her did whatever she pleased.

“She looks beautiful.” Emily put down the book about detoxification that Ariana gave her a while ago. She directed her hazel eyes at Eros, who was standing near the window, after receiving a phone call from Ariana.

The healer was worried sick that she kept asking the same question to Emily and then Eros, afraid that either both of them missed something important about Colton’s condition.

“Hm?” Eros lifted his head and then stared at her. “You mean Zuri?”

Emily pressed her lips into a thin line when she heard how that girl’s name rolled in his tongue. “Who else? She has an exceptionally beautiful white hair.”

And the same color of eyes like you.

Eros thought about that, but of course he knew better not to mention anything about it.

“Do you like her? How much do you like her? Will you go to her if you have a chance?” Emily asked again, but the sound of her voice more like an accusation, as if Eros had done something unimaginable, which made her surprised that she could be so hostile toward a girl, who she barely knew.

Truthfully, Zuri didn’t even do anything and both of them didn’t make suspicious move or stealthily stared at each other when they met this early morning.

Emily felt so bad to even harbor this feeling.

“I am sorry,” she mumbled, she lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. “I don’t mean to say that.”

Emily was shrouded by fear, she was scared that Eros would leave her. He was the only person that she had ever since they were a child, he was the only person that was there throughout her childhood.

Before this, not even once she thought Eros would leave her or give attention to anyone. It was always the two of them and right now she felt her position was threatened by the fact that Eros met his mate.

Emily was human, but she knew better what kind of mate bond looked like, it could be very destructive like Liam and Jasmine, or it could be very captivating like Ariana and Colton.

Seeing how distraught Emily was, Eros came closer and sat next to her. “You don’t need to be upset,” he said. “I am not going anywhere. Where else should I go when you are here?” He kissed her forehead. “This is just a phase, it will be over soon when we leave.”

Though they didn’t want it, but they couldn’t resist the mate bond completely.

On the other hand, after hearing what Eros said, Emily nodded slowly. This was not the first time Eros told her something like this, but at this moment, it meant a lot for her. Her eyes stung.

“I am sorry, I don’t mean to be like that. I…” She lost for words because all she said, sounded like an excuse in her ears.

But Eros was very patient with her like always, he listened to her. “I know.”

Emily felt her throat was constricting and she threw herself at him, almost sent both of them straight to the floor if it was not for Chaos, who immediately supported himself.

Meanwhile, Emily could care less about that and started sobbing silently against his neck. “Promise me don’t go anywhere. If I don’t have you, I don’t have anyone else.”

She had never really thought about this before, but now she realized that Eros was not only the man that she loved, but also the person that she relied and depended on.

It was so scary how you could depend so much on someone, emotionally and physically, and this realization hit Emily so hard.
