Chapter 486 - 486 WHO ARE YOU?

486 WHO ARE YOU?

Eros handed a dress, which was not to her taste at all and when she sniffed the fabric, a frown formed on her forehead.

“Don’t tell me this is your lover’s clothes?” Zuri glowered at him. How dare he to give her such dress for her to wear?

Zuri even more aggravated when she watched how Eros smirked. This man was intentionally annoyed her.

“What with that look?” Eros complained when Zuri growled dangerously at him in low voice, but it was enough to make Gael and Emily, who were there glanced at the two of them curiously. “You are wearing that man clothes, what is the problem with that?”

Zuri wanted to retort that, but then she realized that he had the same feeling like her when he handed her the dress.

It was the jealousy.

Oh, spare me…

Even both of them couldn’t get out from this stupid feeling. If it was not for the mate bond that tied them down, they wouldn’t have felt anything, whomever clothes they were wearing.

“Where are you going?” Eros frowned when Zuri returned the dress.

.....

“My room is only one floor below, why should I wear someone else’s dress?” Zuri replied, she threw him a look before she walked away from there.

Well, she could understand why Eros was agitated because she was wearing someone else’s clothes, but it didn’t mean she was willing to wear his lover’s dress when she had other choice.

Moreover, the girl seemed very skill and knew what she was doing. She was not a healer, but her knowledge was on par to one, thus she didn’t need to worry about Colton.

“Why should I be worried about him in the first place,” Zuri grumbled. She didn’t have anything to do with the shadow moon pack. She left the pack years ago and the only person that she was holding a grudge with was Liam. No one else, but him.

However, when Zuri was in deep thought, she heard someone followed her and then immediately turned around, she was ready to fight if this was another intruder, but as it turned out, it was Eros.

“What are you doing?” Zuri frowned, she chose to use the emergency stairs to lessen the chance of meeting the other guest in the corridor or lift.

“I will walk you to your room.” Eros didn’t seem bother with his suggestion, though Zuri showed him how displeased she was.

“Why should I accept that?” Zuri raised her brows. “Do you think I need to be protected like your meek girl?”

Eros threw her a glare and Zuri immediately realized how wrong it was for her to say that.

“I am sorry, that’s uncalled for. This stupid mate bond got the better of me,” Zuri said, she neither genuine or felt guilty when she said it, but at the very least, she admitted it was uncalled for to say something hostile toward that girl.

“I couldn’t agree more with you. Stupid mate bond indeed.” Eros walked with her, despite her objection that she wanted to walk alone, but she finally relented, probably she should put up more fight for this, since she gave very easily.

“I don’t think you can’t go back to shadow moon pack tomorrow with Colton’s condition like that,” Zuri said, she didn’t want to walk in this silence because this was awkward.

They were walking down the emergency stairs, but their pace was exceptionally slow, as if, unconsciously, they wanted to spend more time together and have more conversation with each other.

“Yes, I think I need to make a call to Liam to let him know about the situation here.” Eros noticed how Zuri flinched when she heard Liam’s name. Her hatred must be so great for her to have that kind of reaction by only mentioning his name alone.

“You are quite bold to say his name without the title.” Zuri could hear how easy for Eros to say Liam’s name that way, which meant he didn’t have high regard for the alpha.

Eros chuckled when he heard that. “I should be more careful, it seems my dislike toward him is very profound for you to notice it right away.” He nodded and then added. “Yes, I don’t really like him. He is not a good leader, neither he is a good person… but, to his credit, I should say he is a good father.”

Liam tended to do whatever he wanted with the expense of the member of his own pack, some time he would take the matter personally and punished someone more than the crime that they had done just because he didn’t like them.

And there were a lot more things that Liam had done in the shadow, which disgusted Eros.

“I heard he still keep Jasmine with her,” Zuri said, she found this surprising that the conversation flew so smoothly, as if they had a lot in common and they were a long time good friend, who was catching up with one another.

“Yes, they have a twin and I don’t think the last child is Liam’s.” Eros scoffed.

Zuri knew what he meant by that, because the last child that Jasmine had was Darius’s, the man had been nagging her for years to attack that pack.

“Seeing you not surprise to hear that, I assumed you know about it,” Eros said, staring at Zuri’s flat expression.

She shrugged her shoulder. “The father sought for shelter in the McKeltar manor,” she said truthfully, she didn’t think it was something to be kept as a secret, since it didn’t cost them anything. “Don’t you think there is something wrong with the shifters?” Zuri changed the topic of their discussion.

Eros thought about it for a while. “Yes. They were exceptionally strong. It is not normal.”

Both of them had their fair share of fighting, so they would know and was able to gauge the opponent’s strength, but the one that attacked them was not normal.

It seemed, no matter how they hurt them, it wouldn’t bother them, as if they couldn’t feel any pain and would keep attacking them if it was not for their head was being cut off or their heart was being clawed out of their chest.

“I see your girl is blessed with talent, why don’t you take her to take a look. I am sure Gael still keep the carcasses.” Zuri glanced at Eros and then sighed when he gave her that look. “It will not hurt your precious little girl, my mate, the beasts had died. What dead body could do to hurt her?”

Eros disagreed with that. “Emily has a weak heart.”

“She has a weak heart because you coddle her.” Zuri chastised him. They needed to know about it too and moreover, she wanted to know how talented this girl was. A little bit information wouldn’t hurt, right? “This is not the world where you can baby her. The more you spoil her, the more she will be in danger.”

Eros didn’t need that advice from her, because he knew it was wrong for him to shelter her that way, but… he had protected her since they were little, so it was more like a habit for him.

“She is different from us. She is built different from me or you.” Eros didn’t give a definite answer.

Zuri shrugged her shoulder. “I just gave you an advice, I though you want to know, who is your attacker.”

Eros didn’t heed that word and then opened the door once they arrived at the third floor.

“You don’t need to follow me to my room. Go back to your girl.” Zuri waved her hand, she didn’t want for him to know where her room was, because there was a high chance Chaos would be there.

But then, the moment the door was opened, Zuri gasped loudly when she saw Chaos had been waiting for her behind it.

His long and black hair fluttered and his deep blue eyes fixed on her. “Why are you so surprised?” He tilted his head to see her reaction.

Zuri didn’t want to be surprised too and give him this suspicious reaction, especially with Eros next to her.

“Because you appeared all of sudden, how can I not surprise?” Zuri thanked herself for not faltered when she answered him, she sounded confidence enough, right?

Immediately, Zuri scurried away to Chaos, she wanted to drag him away from there. Why the hell she felt like a girlfriend, who was caught cheating? She did nothing! They kept courteous to each other… except one time, when it came close to physical contact.

Ugh! Blamed that all to the mate bond!

Probably because Zuri was too close with Eros, so she was let to notice that Chaos nearby, after all, their scent was almost the same, and only now Zuri noticed that Eros’ scent was way much more the same as Chaos than Knox.

“Let’s go back to our room.” Zuri tugged on his jacket, but he didn’t budge.

“Who are you?” Chaos looked at Eros, his blue eyes glistened, as he watched how the two of them dressed. He took his jacket and put it around Zuri’s body.

Gael’s shirt was dark in color, but in one closer look, you could see the shape of her breast perfectly and Chaos hated it there was another man near her when she was like this.

“There is an attack before this, have you heard that?” Zuri tried to distract Chaos from Eros.
