494 I DON’T WANT TO LOSE YOU

“I am sorry, I don’t mean to be like that. I…” She lost for words because all she said, sounded like an excuse in her ears. “If I don’t have you, I don’t have anyone else.”

Eros felt the same feeling about that in a way. They had been together since they were little, had endured and gone through so much hard ship that no one could understand, they had each other and even if the world lied to them and the manipulation from people around them made their life like a living hell, the only person that they could trust was each other.

“I love you, Eros, I don’t want to lose you,” Emily said desperately, as she clung to him, she buried her face against his shoulder, as she hugged him from behind.

“I love you too, Emily,” Eros said, while caressing her arms that wrapped around his waist. He had never seen Emily was so distraught like right now.

She looked like she was in so much pain to know that Zuri was his mate, that he finally found his mate, because she knew what a mate meant for a shifter. The bond that they shared was insane.

“I don’t want to lose you,” Emily whimpered and started to cry, she didn’t have the ability to stop herself from this misery. She didn’t want to cry over this thing and looked so petty, but for some understandable reason, she couldn’t stop herself, her tears streamed down her cheeks and she couldn’t stop it.

She didn’t even realize when Eros had turned his body around and hugged her, he cradled her in his arms, as he rubbed her back in soothing motion, he whispered sweet thing to her, promises that he would never leave her, that they had gone through so much…

Emily felt her heart swelled with reassurance, but in the next second, she would be desperate again and her feeling switched between that.

“I love you, Emily,” Eros said calmly.

.....

Yet, in her ears, it sounded the same like when he said it when they were child, the same words, but for him the feeling was still the same like in the past.

It was whether he had loved her long enough, or his love was not the same way like she had for him right now…

Yet, with a kiss on her temple, it could make her anxiety went away temporarily. She had him in her arms and she wouldn’t give him for the world, mate or not, the bond that they had was strong too.

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

“Stop grumbling, you will look old soon,” Gael teased Zuri because the girl didn’t stop clicking her tongue, since she entered the car. She was reluctant… no, she didn’t want to go to see July and Sebastian.

Especially, their child.

Zuri had a bad premonition about this. Now, she understood that not knowing thing was a bliss, because she couldn’t bring herself to face the reality if the worst thing happened.

And the worst thing always happened in her life.

“Stop pouting, or else you will get wrinkle,” Gael said cheerfully. He always acted goofy around Zuri, like when she was a little, but some time, this treatment was upsetting.

“Get wrinkle like you?” Zuri glanced at him, as she said that mercilessly and Gael put his hand over his chest, while still driving.

“How harsh your words were…” Gael said dramatically, he looked like someone, who had just gotten a heart attack.

“Keep your eyes on the road, or else we would get a car crash,” Zuri warned him, she looked annoyed at him because she regretted her decision to come to meet July and Sebastian.

She wanted to see her, but she didn’t like to know what she would face later, she didn’t want to put herself in crossfire again and made harsh decision.

Zuri closed her eyes and Chaos’s solemn expression came to her mind, she felt the distance between them was getting worst.

“We are here,” Gael said, as he parked the car in front of a dark blue house, which was not so big, but it looked lovely.

“Can we go back now?” Zuri said the first thing when Gael turned off the engine of the car.

“I have turned off the engine,” Gael replied calmly. “So, we need to go out from here and enter that beautiful house, I am the one, who found that house for them.”

“You can go out and do your thing, give me the key and I will start the engine again,” Zuri retorted. Her heart felt so heavy, she didn’t want to think what she would replace inside that house.

“Don’t be so ridiculous, we are here to meet our old friend.” Gael opened the car door and then walked toward her side to open hers. “This is our reunion.”

“Don’t you think that you are too old to call me your friend?” Zuri narrowed her eyes, but she stepped out of the car and walked beside Gael.

“Don’t say anything about being ‘old’, that’s a sensitive word, you know.” Gael realized that his appearance had reflected his age and even though he held such power, it didn’t mean he could cheat time like Zuri and the other supernatural creature, he aged like any other human.

Zuri scoffed at that word, but she knew Gael only said such thing because he wanted to prevent her from running away from this place.

“You don’t need to hold my hand.” Zuri glanced at his hand that gripped her wrist.

“I only want to reminisce when you were little, I always held your hand like this when I drove you to school.” Gael closed his eyes and smiled.

“Don’t kid me, you didn’t drive me to school, you gave me money to take public transportation.” Zuri swatted his hand away.

“Oh, did I?” Gael looked surprised when he heard that.
