431 WELCO HO, ZURI
Most of the creatures in this realm knew Chaos. How could they not know him when he wreaked havoc and unleashed catastrophes a few tis which divided this country into two, where all the supernatural creatures could live in this city without a need to pretend or hide anymore from the humans?
Therefore, when Chaos and Zuri walked closer to the fortress, all the guards there were on high alert, as three of the guards ca running to them.
Once they were in front of Chaos, they lowered their heads and greeted the two of them solemnly.
“My Lord,” the shifters said and this made Zuri raise her brows. She didn’t know that they greeted Chaos that way, except for the soul possessor, Norbeat.
“Open the gates,” Chaos said calmly and the three of them imdiately retreated as one of them proceeded to prepare a car for both of them. “They put spells around the gate.” He narrowed his eyes at the soft mist around this fortress.
However, Zuri couldn’t see anything, even so she didn’t doubt that at all.
Another car caught her attention, though. It was being prepared as well, and she thought a few shifters would follow them inside in that car, until she saw a man walking out of a tent. He looked battered and exhausted.
Therefore, there was no way that this man was one of the guards. He must be an outsider.
“Who is that man?” Zuri asked before she got into the car, while Chaos was still standing in front of the gates, as if he was trying to discern what kinds of spells that protected this place.
.....
“Oh, this man is nad Darius. He ca from the Shadow Moon pack and it seems he is being chased out of that pack,” the guard told her.
“Shadow Moon pack?” Zuri narrowed her eyes, as she watched the man enter the car. Their eyes t for a brief mont right before he closed the door and then the car drove away.
“Yes,” the guard replied, looking at Zuri’s expression. “Do you know him by any chance?”
Zuri didn’t answer him, as she smiled softly at him and then entered the car, waiting for Chaos to join her, while deep in thought.
She didn’t really rember him, maybe because they had never gone on a mission together. But if this man nad Darius indeed ca from the Shadow Moon pack, then she must have known him at so point.
The problem was; there were a lot of warriors in the Shadow Moon pack. That pack was, literally, two packs rged into one. Around thirty percent of the mbers of the pack were branded as ogas, and they were from her uncle’s pack.
Therefore, Zuri couldn’t say that she didn’t know him, but maybe they t a few tis, only they didn’t really notice each other.
“What is it?” Zuri asked when Chaos entered the car with a frown. “Sothing is wrong?”
“Nothing,” he said grimly. “Knox just pissed off.”
Zuri raised her brows when she heard that. How could a man, who was not even here, piss him off?
========================
“ZURI!” July rushed toward her and hugged her so tight, she almost knocked her down and made her fall on her butt, if it was not for Chaos, who held her back and steadied her. “OH, LOOK AT YOU! YOU LOOK SO AMAZING!”
It had been a long ti since she t July. They didn’t even make phone calls during that long period of ti, until she forgot this woman could be very erratic and energetic.
“I know I am beautiful, can you let go for a second, please?” Zuri patted her back, to let her know that she was suffocating her, longer than this she would pass out there and then.
July laughed and released her, but she didn’t let her go, as she hugged her arm now instead. “You should have let know that you were coming. I could have prepared sothing for you. Co, I will show you your room.”
July didn’t even greet Chaos. She acted as if that man was not there, as if he was invisible in her eyes.
“Don’t you want to say sothing to Chaos?” Zuri asked, while Chaos could only frown as his woman was being taken away.
Hearing that, July tilted her head and then gave Chaos a glaring look, as she said coldly. “Don’t take Knox away again.”
That was all she wanted to say to Chaos, more than that, she didn’t have anything to talk to him about. They were simply not on the sa page, the two of them were simply on two different wavelengths.
anwhile, Zuri could only follow July, as she dragged her away from Chaos. She led her down corridor after corridor, which she was familiar with, hearing the cracking sound of the wooden boards that she didn’t think she missed so much, or walking through the garden that brought back so many mories.
“Here is your bedroom,” July said, as she opened the door and spoke proudly about it. “I have people to clean this up from ti to ti, but not a single thing has been moved from here.”
Zuri looked into the bedroom and smiled a little, because this bedroom was too childish for her age right now.
Seeing the look in Zuri’s eyes, July knew what was in her mind, as she giggled. “I think you still haven’t outgrown your bed yet.”
The bed was so big for her when she was a child. She was in awe of having such a big and comfy bed the first ti Ann let her know this was her bedroom, but right now, it was just the right size for her.
“Yeah, I think at the very least, I can have a good night’s sleep,” Zuri chuckled.
July looked at her fondly. “Welco ho, Zuri.”
