450 THE WORST TEAM MATE

“Shit!” Knox cursed under his breath when Zuri shifted back into her human skin, all naked, standing right in front of him with fierce Hazel eyes. She was upset because Knox didn’t do it immediately and let her to fight them first before he took an action. “Damn it, Blue!”

Knox didn’t need to see another woman’s body naked right in front of him, but Zuri didn’t seem to be affected by it. She looked calm and fierce, she didn’t hold back to let him know how upset she was right now at him.

Therefore, without bating an eye, Knox waved his hand and made the shifter clothed again. She was wearing the same shirt and jeans like before, only then he looked back at her and reciprocated her sharp eyes.

“Don’t do that again,” Knox said sternly. “I don’t need to see you naked.”

“You don’t need to see me naked if you are smart enough to not waste our time and kill them all right away,” Zuri retorted, she turned around and then glanced through her shoulder at him, as she frowned. “What? You want to waste your time here to look after these dead men?” she asked him sarcastically.

Knox growled in low voice, he didn’t like to be ordered around and he was upset to see the way this little girl behaved.

No, she was no longer a little girl anymore, she was a grown woman right now.

How time flew so fast...

“Come on!” Zuri walked ahead of him. “We still need to replace Chaos’s shattered soul, don’t slow me down.”

.....

“The more I see you, the more I don’t like you,” Knox complained, but he followed her nonetheless, it was easier for her to replace Chaos’s shattered soul rather than him, the last time he found the shattered soul, it was only luck, since he could replace it so fast.

“You don’t need to like me, because I don’t like you either,” Zuri retorted, she didn’t slow down her pace, but Knox didn’t pick up his pace as well, so he walked right behind her.

“I am glad the feeling is mutual.”

=========================

“What were you talking about with her?” Skylar was right outside of the door when Ciara finally got out and was about to return to her place.

The witch glanced at her briefly, but she didn’t answer her, neither she acknowledged her presence there.

Because the door was under the spell, thus no matter what Skylar did, she wouldn’t be able to hear the conversation behind it and this made her even more frustrated.

She despised the fact that she couldn’t win her step sister in the magic field. She always thought her power was useless.

“I am talking with you.” Skylar grabbed Ciara’s hand and forced her to turn around to face her.

Yet, Ciara swatted her hand and then glared at her. “You don’t need to know, because I was not talking about you. There are a lot of important things to talk about. Don’t hurt yourself with your hope. You don’t even cross my mind.”

Ciara looked at Skylar with a smug smile on the corner of her lips, she tilted her head and then spoke in low voice.

“Don’t think that everything is about you, you are not that important.”

And after saying that, Ciara walked away from her and before Skylar could grab her hand again and did something ridiculous, the witch teleported herself from that place, because she didn’t have time to spare for her.

“Damn it!” Skylar hated it when Ciara used magic against her and her step sister knew about that very well, therefore this move that she made was completely something that she did to piss her off and that worked.

=======================

The night came and Norbeat had eaten a few plates by now, but July didn’t even touch her meal at all.

The two of them were inside Chaos’s bedroom, because they needed to keep their eyes on him, since they needed to inject him with the injection that Ciara had given them, in order to keep him calm until Zuri and Knox returned with his shattered soul.

However, the more second that July spent with him, the more hatred that she felt for him because she hated the fact that he was here and Knox was out there, taking care of his business.

July couldn’t understand, why Knox’s life had to be tied with him? Why Knox couldn’t have life of his own?

“Your stomach hurt?” Norbeat asked because July kept rubbing her stomach. “You need to eat, this will be a long night.”

July was surprised when Norbeat said that and only then she realized she had been rubbing her flat stomach unconsciously, she immediately stopped and then tried to eat, she needed energy to survive. Her baby needed her to survive this.

“What happened? Are you feeling unwell? You look so pale,” Norbeat said again, he looked at July closely. He was concerned with her because she had been acting so distraught, since this evening and now when it was almost midnight, she didn’t look better at all. “Are you worried about Knox?”

July just shook her head, but then she nodded, so it was hard to say what her answer was, but she continued eating, though she couldn’t feel anything, it felt like she was eating sands.

“You don’t need to worry about him, he is strong, not to mention he went with Zuri.” Norbeat then kept talking about how fierce and annoying Zuri was, but his main point, the two of them were safe and no one would be able to hurt them.

“Can you look after him alone?” July nodded at Chaos’s direction. She then stood up. “I feel so tired.” She didn’t wait for Norbeat answer as she walked straight toward the door.

“Okay...” Norbeat mumbled, he furrowed his brows, as he watched July walked away from him.

Tonight, was so calm and serene, because Skylar was not able to enter this room because of the spell that Ciara put around this bedroom, she had been having a tantrum, since this evening, but fortunately, once you closed the door, you wouldn’t be able to hear anything outside of it.

“What happened with Chaos? How is he? Did he wake up?” Skylar immediately followed July, the moment she walked out of the room.

On the other hand, July didn’t answer her immediately, she glanced at Skylar, as she thought to herself how annoying this woman was, but then at the same time she understood what she felt right now.

It was fortunate for her that Knox reciprocated her feeling, but for Skylar, she didn’t have the same luck like she did. In a way, she pitied her for having that feeling for Chaos.

“He is fine, it is better if he is not awake until the two of them returned.” July didn’t need to explain further about why it was better that way because Skylar must have known about this better.

“Why they have not yet returned?” Skylar grumbled, she wanted to follow them to help, but the two of them didn’t let her come with them, even though she used to look for Chaos’s shattered soul as well.

“I don’t know.” July fastened her steps and Skylar didn’t follow her again, because she couldn’t get what she wanted to know from her.

It was such a relief for July to be left alone, but it didn’t last for long because when she was about to enter her bedroom, she met with Sebastian.

“Can we talk?” he asked her. He looked exhausted, there were dark circles under his eyes. How long had he not slept?

“What do you want to talk about?” July looked at Sebastian, she didn’t want to lead him again, she needed to make sure that he understood, there was no way for them to be together.

July was about to turn him down, but what he said next made her furrowed her brows and agreed to talk with him again.

“This is something that Knox told me, I supposed to not tell you, but I think you deserve to know.”

Something that she supposed not to know?

========================

“I told you that you have to go there!” Zuri was angry at Knox because he didn’t listen to what she said. The two of them really had the worst cooperation.

“Don’t you dare to order me,” Knox growled at her, but he finally did what she wanted her to do, as he walked toward the direction that she had pointed out.

“I didn’t order you, this is what you call communication!” Zuri was so frustrated when she talked to him, how he could be so dense? He was the worst team mate ever!

Zuri was able to move as a team or worked alone, because of her experience in the Shadow Moon pack, but Knox had never worked with anyone before. It was either he ordered someone, or he made it done by himself.

“Ck, you are so noisy,” Knox grumbled and flicked his finger, as the man, who was about to run away from them stopped in his track and dropped to the ground. He fell unconscious.

“You didn’t kill him, right? We need him alive.” Zuri walked toward the man. “You know the drill.”

Knox clicked his tongue in annoyance and then followed her, as he knocked her head lightly. “I have done it countless time before you even born.”
