Chapter 284
284 I WILL CHALLANGE YOU IN ATBIKAI
All the people nearby this small convenience store thought a supernatural creature was attacking humans, and now, he was trying to kidnap one of them after killing a few people inside the store.
From outside, they could see how wrecked the store was now and if they were not mistaken, there was a woman being burned. It was a horrifying thing to see, especially in the middle of a peaceful afternoon like this.
“Put her down!” one of the police officers ordered Chaos to put Zuri down, as they thought he was trying to kidnap her.
The law enforcers had been notified when people nearby realized it was a fight between supernatural creatures. They didn’t dare to intervene and directly called the authorities.
Yet, Chaos didn’t take it nicely when he was being threatened, he was still in the phase where he was hanging by a thread of his sanity, his mind was clouded and the urge to commit violent things was so strong.
The only thing that kept his mind in order was the smell of Zuri’s blood. This scent disturbed him and made him feel uncomfortable, especially when he saw how serious her condition was right now.
“PUT HER DOWN AND SURRENDER YOURSELF!” The police shouted at him again, as they aimed their guns at him and this gesture only upset Chaos further and the next thing that he did was; blowing up the gas station.
People screamed when they watched in horror how dark smoke and blazing fire erupted in the gas station and in a matter of seconds, the place was caught in wild flames.
The police no longer cared about Chaos, as they tried to call for help while helping people to get away from there, as they were in an uproar. The situation turned from bad to worst in the blink of an eye.
.....
People ran here and there, trying to avoid the fire and Chaos as well, while the police were torn between helping people and confronting this supernatural creature to free the girl in his arms. They were still under the impression that Zuri was a human that needed their help.
On the other hand, Zuri could care less about all the chaotic things around her, as long as Chaos remembered her and was with her, she knew that she would be fine. For now.
Chaos walked calmly among this pandemonium with Zuri in his arms and the white wolf that circled around his feet, growling threateningly at anyone who dared to look at them.
The wolf thought she was protecting the two of them from these people...
===========================
School in a pack of shifters was different from what humans attended, as it would only start at the age of ten but end within three years.
And for Emily, who was in her last year now, there was not much that she could learn here, since the school put emphasis on knowledge about shifters and how to enhance their senses, while Emily had no use with it.
“Eros!” Emily ran toward Eros when she saw him, waiting for her beside his car. He was allowed to drive and Liam got him a new car two weeks ago.
The coldness in Eros’ eyes slightly dissipated when he saw Emily, running toward him. She hugged him immediately and he caught her easily, hugging her back.
“You will hurt yourself if you do this.” Eros didn’t feel anything, but he knew that Emily would hurt her face if she just bumped into his chest like that.
“Why did you come here?” Emily asked. She ignored Eros’ remark, as she lifted her head to look at him with her bright hazel eyes. “Did you come to show off your car?”
Eros smiled a little when he heard that. “Get in the car, let’s have lunch in the restaurant that you like.”
“Oh, we will drive out of the pack? Is it okay?” A few months ago, Eros took her with him to the nearby city, along with a few warriors and there was a restaurant that she liked.
“Hm, get in the car,” Eros said and Emily happily obliged, as she jumped up and down to enter the passenger seat.
However, the main reason why Eros came to pick Emily up was because he wanted to give a warning to Kyle and Derek, who had been waiting for Emily at the side of the parking lot.
Recently, Emily would grumble about how Kyle and his friends had been mocking and bothering her on her way home.
Eros had been busy these past few days and had time to deal with this only now.
“Where are you going?” Emily rolled down the window of the car and blinked at Eros, who was walking away from the car.
“Stay in there, I will be back soon,” Eros said, as he walked toward where Kyle and his friends gathered around next to their car.
Derek was the first to notice Eros and then nudged Kyle. There were two more men aside from them, whose attention now was on the young beta.
“What is it, beta? Do you want to give us an order?” Kyle asked Eros in a mocking tone once he was close enough to them. “You know that an order is only...”
Kyle didn’t have a chance to finish his words when Eros connected his feet to his mouth. He kicked him so hard and so fast until he didn’t see it coming.
The three men there were stunned speechless when they witnessed this scene and the first thing that they did was to help Kyle up.
However, the warrior was too furious to be placated, as he felt humiliated by what Eros had done to him just then. The pain would be gone in no time, but his ego was bruised badly.
“YOU!” He launched himself at Eros and tried to attack him.
At the age of fourteen, Eros was about the same height as the other warriors, thus it was hard to see him as someone who was a few years younger than them. Sometimes, they even forgot that he was still young.
Kyle was furious. He saw red when his first attack didn’t meet his target, as Eros evaded him effortlessly. It was well known that no one could beat Eros when he was in human form, aside from the alpha himself, thus despite years of training as a warrior, Kyle didn’t stand a chance to win this fight at all.
On the other hand, Eros didn’t have time for this fight, as he could feel Emily’s eyes on him. She was watching this, thus he needed to end this sooner.
Eros twisted Kyle’s hand and pulled him closer, only to stab him in the stomach with his razor sharp claws that emerged from his fingers and whispered to him.
“If you dare come near her again, I will challenge you to Atbikai.” Eros twisted his hand and Kyle whimpered in agony. This wound wouldn’t kill him, but at least, he would be in unbearable pain for the next half an hour. “Understood?”
The thought of that alone left a pleasant feeling in his mind.
===========================
“Vanesha!” Nikolai called his sister when he met her in the facility, he didn’t know why, but he felt Vanesha kept avoiding him, despite the fact they were in the same area.
On the other hand, Vanesha waved her hand at the man that she was talking to and said a few words before she came to see her brother. “You are here.”
Nikolai thought once Vanesha was old enough and joined the organization, he would have more time with his sister, though he strongly disagreed with her joining The Delta. Therefore, when he found out she was part of the scientists’ team and was in a safe place, he was utterly relieved.
There was no way Nikolai would be happy with Vanesha going through all the hard training that he received, but the fact that Vanesha had been in the facility for a few years before she was old enough and the fact that she could have approached him during that time and told him about her whereabouts, yet never once she reached out to him, still left Nikolai reeling with this uncomfortable feeling.
“Can we talk?” Nikolai asked his sister. He had been asking the same question for the last few weeks and she would come up with the same excuse every single time.
“I am sorry, not now, I am busy, maybe next time,” Vanesha replied. She looked at Nikolai with sad eyes.
“You gave me the same answer the last few times,” Nikolai stated.
Vanesha bit her lips. “What about next week?” But, before Nikolai could question her further, Vanesha’s phone went off and she was startled a little bit, as she decided on their next meeting right away. “I will meet you in town at the Red Plate restaurant, we will talk over lunch, okay?”
Vanesha was in a hurry to pick up the call, as she leaned over to give Nikolai a kiss on his cheek.
“Don’t be angry at me, okay?” She hugged him tightly before she walked away from Nikolai and found a quiet corner.
She picked up the call before it stopped ringing.
“I am in the facility,” Vanesha said in a low voice. She looked around and spotted a few surveillance cameras there. She knew that she couldn’t stay on the line for a long time, because it would only put her in trouble after what she had gone through to reach this position.
She couldn’t jeopardize all of this, but on the other hand, she could understand why he was feeling so anxious.
“Understood.” Vanesha nodded when she heard what he said. “Okay, Gael.”
