Chapter 508: A QUIET NIGHT
"You are safe now, you are with me," Chaos whispered into her ear, as she sobbed and trembled in his arms. The sight of her right now made his blood boil with anger. His eyes turned even darker, but the way he held her was so gentle, especially when he whispered continuously into her ear to put her to sleep.
It took a while for Chaos to do that, but in the end, Zuri's breathing became even and she fell into a deep slumber.
Chaos caressed her cheeks and wiped away her tears. She looked really haggard, even though she was under the spell for only less than two minutes before Chaos came and pulled her away from her nightmare.
Meanwhile, Knox and Gael could only be bystanders, because the vibe that Chaos gave them was so dreadful, as if they took a step closer to his woman, he would rip them apart without a second thought, that was the first thought that came to their minds when they saw him in his current state.
Only after Zuri was put to sleep and things became calm, did Chaos raise his head and look Aaron dead in his eyes, as the devil smirked at him. He was standing right next to the alpha of the black wolf pack, who was cowering behind his warriors. What kind of alpha was he when he clearly didn't have the guts to face a confrontation on his own?
"Come on, Chaos, you don't need to glare at me like that, I didn't do anything bad to her," Aaron said lightly, tilting his head. He then spoke again in a lighter tone. "Okay, I did something. I just showed her a precious moment that she seems to have forgotten."
Chaos stood up with Zuri in his arms, he didn't say anything, but the alpha started screaming. His screams pierced through the night and the tension in the air heightened. Those shifters didn't understand why their alpha was screaming like that when no one touched him.
However, they realized this was the same way the girl with white hair screamed earlier all of a sudden.
Those warriors in their beasts and human form shifted their attention between Chaos and the alpha back and forth, not knowing what to do at this point.
They should have attacked Chaos, yet there was something about him that stopped them. Let alone attacking him, they didn't even dare to look him right in the eye, as if there was something on their chests that made them tremble just by the sight of him. He was the embodiment of death.
"This is your way to get back to me?" Aaron didn't take pity on the alpha, who fell to the ground, holding his head with both hands, as he screamed at the top of his lungs, as though someone just drove a hot rod into his skull.
The alpha kept screaming at the top of his lungs when the dreadful memories came back flooding his mind and he ended up vomiting near Aaron's foot, which made the devil look at him in disgust.
Chaos would have taken the alpha's soul only if he was close enough to him to touch him, but without any physical contact, he couldn't do that. Moreover, he didn't want to leave Zuri alone.
There was no guarantee that Aaron wouldn't do something to her once he left her out of his sight for even a second, while Gael and Knox were not a match for the devil. Chaos would never let any potential harm come her way, especially when he was around.
Chaos couldn't kill the Alpha either, because if he did that, his soul would only take another host.
"What are you waiting for?" Aaron was being impatient now when he saw the unsightly condition of the alpha, as he ordered the warriors there to do something about this situation. These stupid shifters couldn't take the initiative to do the right thing and always needed guidance. It started to piss him off.
What a useless bunch of morons… "Are you waiting until your alpha is dead from his curse on him?"
Only then, those shifters, who were still in their human form, shifted into their beasts and started attacking them.
However, they didn't manage to take even a step closer to endanger them when all of a sudden their bodies got burned, as if there was someone setting them on fire.
Them roaring in agony and anguish overpowered the screams from their alpha as their bodies burned down to dust.
The night was full of horror and their howls of pain were so deafening, yet it didn't last long before those beasts had turned into dust and the night resumed its peacefulness, while the alpha had passed out because he was no longer able to handle the agony.
"Well, I think there is no need for me to stay here any longer now," Aaron said as everything went quiet now. He glanced at the alpha with disgust before he smiled at Chaos again. "I think we will meet with each other often from now on."
And with that, he disappeared from their sight, leaving a few black butterflies that fluttered their tiny wings, but then Knox waved his hand and those poor butterflies were cut into half. Their remnants fidgeted on the ground before going still.
"So?" Gael broke the silence after Aaron left with the alpha. "Don't we need to chase after them?" He looked at Chaos and Knox. "I can take Zuri back to the hotel if you want to chase after him."
But then, Gael immediately clamped his mouth shut when he got a glare for suggesting the idea from Chaos.
Leaving Zuri was the last thing on his mind right now, no matter with whom she would be, he wouldn't leave her out of his sight.
Chaos cradled the girl in his arms and nuzzled her face before he disappeared, leaving the two of them behind.
