Chapter 314
314 I KNOW YOU CAN FEEL IT
“They will take River with them. They will try her power.” His father and a few higher rank members in the organization thought it was a good opportunity to pit River’s power against the dragon’s power.
One of the reasons why they couldn’t really attest River’s power was because they didn’t have the right opportunity to do it. It required a large place at her dispensation, just in case things went south. To receive all the impact and cushion the destruction that would ensue.
Therefore, with the East Draghar begging for their help, this could be their chance to study the true extremes of River’s power, without destroying their own country.
Of course, after what East Draghar had done to Artzees country, the bargain was way more detailed than that, which included a few pacts that the East Dragher needed to obey, since Artzees country had the upper hand and was way more prepared for this type of situation.
“To fight the dragon?” Vanesha was surprised with this.
Sol walked to his wardrobe and put on proper clothes. “Fire against fire. Fair enough to see her power.”
Apparently, the dragon had already burned down a few cities in that country and since River’s power was centered on fire as well, they thought it was a great idea.
Vanesha then stood up, sure enough, she could hear her phone ringing. They must need her to assist River. What a joke, they had been trying to get rid of her and now when the situation turned like this, she became important again...
She approached Sol and hugged him from behind, which made him stop his movements. “We don’t have time for this.”
.....
However, Vanesha tightened her arms around his waist. “You don’t like this. Why are you so willing to do it anyway?”
She knew that Sol hated this organization, he had never been so attached to it. The reason why he was still here was because of his father. Just to boost ego by proving himself in front of his father, which was an irony in itself, since Sol disliked his father to his core.
The only obsession of his was River and it was because the little girl was Lise’s daughter. He loved Lise, but Vanesha was not sure about that anymore. Were his feelings still out of love or was it only a mere obsession of his?
Seeing him closer, Sol was akin to a boy, who was not sure what he was doing, or what he wanted to do. He was in disarray with his own thoughts.
At least, that was how Vanesha saw this man.
“You don’t know me.” Sol freed himself from her arms and then turned around to look at the young girl with infatuation evident in her eyes for him. He still couldn’t understand what made this girl have such deep feelings for him.
“Of course, I know you.” Vanesha tiptoed and then kissed his lips a little bit longer, before she withdrew herself and then smiled at him. “You would have shoved me away if you didn’t want me to kiss you.”
And after saying that, she walked back to his study room to get her phone, which kept ringing.
Meanwhile, Sol stood in his place. There was a deep line between his brows, as Vanesha words echoed in his mind.
For God’s sake! She is just seventeen, eighteen years younger than him!
And they had been in this kind of relationship since she was sixteen? Sol must have been crazy to agree to this in the first place.
He took his jacket and then followed Vanesha to his study, where she was on a phone call, which he assumed was from the organization. They must be asking her to come to the headquarters.
However, Sol overheard something that he would have never imagined...
Vanesha had her back against the door and didn’t even realize that Sol was behind her. Perhaps, she assumed he would rush out of the house and leave her alone there.
Therefore, she let her guard down and talked in a low voice, which was audible enough for Sol to hear her once he stepped into the room.
“They will take River. Yes. To East Draghar. Yes, the headquarters had confirmed. It’s indeed a dragon.” There was a long pause before she spoke again. “Gael, if you want to do this, make sure you have everything prepared. This will be the only chance...”
========================
“Get in the car,” Eros said, after he managed to break into the first car that they could find.
Zuri found it impressive, though she knew where he had learned this. Despite all the horrible things that had happened to her, she was still grateful for all the skills to survive she learned in the pack, since they were useful and always came in handy.
“I will drive,” Zuri said, but Eros pushed her into the passenger seat. How dare this young man do that to her?
“No.” Eros tried to put a seatbelt on Zuri, but she swatted his hands.
“I know how to take care of myself,” she said firmly.
Moreover, she didn’t like it when someone touched her recklessly. This part of her made her feel a little bit relieved because she did not completely trust this young man in their first meeting.
Eros shook his head, he didn’t know what got into him, but he got carried away and became overprotective. This was not like him at all to be disoriented like this.
“Okay.” Eros then circled the car and sat behind the steering wheel, as he took them out of this area, while the dragon drew near to them.
=====================
Knox felt it when Killian shifted into his dragon and Chaos opened his eyes. They were red and this reminded him of the catastrophe that he created when they were in the Fokosa city.
“Where is Blue?” that was the first thing that Chaos asked once he regained his consciousness, as he pushed himself up to look around him. He couldn’t feel her anywhere nearby...
“Chaos...” Knox knew the three of them had gone out of the house, but he thought it was not a big deal. There wouldn’t be any big trouble if Killian was with them, since he was strong enough to protect Zuri, especially with Norbeat around.
Moreover, there was no reason for Zuri to shift into her beast. She had been warned already.
However, who would have thought that it would be Killian himself, who had stirred such trouble.
“Where is she?” his voice became even darker when he demanded the answer. He got off the bed and walked toward the balcony, from where he could see the fire that had burned half of the city. It looked like the city had been hit by a fire storm.
From the distance, he could hear the dragon roaring fiercely. Needless to say, it was Killian, since he was the only dragon in this realm. At least, as far as they knew.
Knox followed and stood beside Chaos, he looked worried, because he knew it was a mistake on his part to let them leave. He didn’t even take any precautions.
“Chaos...” Knox was about to say something, when in a blink of an eye, Chaos faced him and struck his hand through his stomach.
And once Chaos retracted his hand, blood poured out of the hole in Knox’s stomach. He gasped loudly to breath, as he fell to the floor, unable to move.
“You are useless...” Chaos said in disdain. He clearly told them to protect her. But what did they do?
It hadn’t even been that long since he had lost consciousness due to losing his strength, but Zuri was already in danger.
Livid was an understatement to describe what Chaos felt right now, because these people, who were supposed to protect her, instead put her in danger.
Chaos didn’t care if Killian wanted to burn the whole city down or even the whole realm, but Zuri was out there. In danger and that fact alone enraged him.
“I told you what you should do, but you did exactly the opposite.”
And after saying that, Chaos disappeared from in front of Knox’s eyes, vanished into thin air, leaving the man, struggling with the severe wound that was inflicted on him.
Knox wouldn’t die, but it would take a long time for him to be able to heal this. He closed his eyes, because this pain was almost unbearable for him. He felt like he was floating in the air, as his head felt so light.
But, as time passed, a low whimper reverberated near Knox from time to time, as he felt something wet and warm glide on his face, only to find out it was White, Zuri’s wolf, licking his face, to keep him awake.
====================
“Do you have a plan in mind?” Zuri asked, as the car stopped in the next city. They managed to drive out of Kalee city without any hiccups, though they still could see the bright color of the fire from where they were now.
“No,” Eros replied truthfully. He turned off the car engine, because they almost ran out of gas by now.
“So, what are we doing here? Waiting?” Zuri unbuckled her seatbelt and then turned to look at Eros. She was not sure what she was going to do with him, since he was Chaos’ shattered soul.
She could take care of him just fine if she wanted to. Yes, he looked strong, but Zuri fought countless battles to confidently say she could manage taking him down.
But, there was this part of her that didn’t want to hurt him.
“You do realize it, right?” Eros frowned and then turned around to face Zuri. He looked at her deeply. “I know you can feel it.”
