477 WE NEED SOMEONE TO TRY IT

River was watching everything unfolded, even though she didn’t know what was going on, but she was sure Zuri knew that man. She was staring at him, as if that man was a ghost.

“Do you meet someone? I saw you staring at someone and you just… stupefied.” She looked at Zuri’s expression and now she was very sure that something was going on between the two of them. “You want to drink?” She caught a can of beer on Zuri’s laps. “You can’t. We will go to the café, right?”

However, Zuri didn’t care about that silly café. “River. Don’t tell anyone about it.” She grabbed her hands and looked at her sternly. “Don’t talk anything about what you saw.”

River blinked her eyes. She didn’t understand with this sudden change, but she nodded anyway. “Okay.” She looked at Hazel stealthy, but she couldn’t say what was in her mind, she couldn’t even ask what was going on with her, even though she was very curious.

“How are you feeling? Are you fine now?” Zuri looked at River, she checked on her briefly. “Can you drive?”

Zuri didn’t think that she could drive right now and didn’t even want to try, because all she wanted to do was going back to the hotel and think about this whole situation alone.

“Okay,” River replied immediately and then they switched seat.

“Let’s go to the café next time. I want to go back to hotel, is that okay with your?” Zuri closed her eyes and massaged her aching temple.

No. River didn’t want to go back to hotel, but she couldn’t say that to see how distraught Zuri was right now. “Okay.”

.....

She felt despondent. She wanted to go out with Zuri and hang out with her like she did with Vanesha, but she couldn’t do that. Zuri was not as fun as Vanesha. She missed her sister terribly.

She would love to have her right now. Why she needed to go?

Emily kept stealing furtive glance at Eros, who was sitting next to her, but not even once he looked at her direction, he fixed his eyes at the road outside of the window, as if he was thinking about something else. He was not in the mood to talk at all. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

However, at some point, Eros finally noticed her attempt to talk to him, because how could he not when Emily’s gaze bore the back of his head.

“I am fine, you don’t need to worry,” Eros said, as he turned around. He extended his hand and touched her cheek, in order to calm her down. “You don’t need to make that face.”

Emily pouted. She wanted to ask what happened earlier and why he looked so distraught, but then she held herself back. This was not the right time to do that, she would ask about it once they were back to hotel.

“Okay,” Emily replied dejectedly. She looked at Eros and then moved closer to him carefully, she waited for him to reject her advance, but Eros didn’t say anything, he was already staring back at the street out there and when Emily rested her head against his shoulder, he didn’t make any move at all.

From the rearview mirror, Josh stared at both of them and then frowned, he was sure that Eros knew that woman, his expression was somewhat familiar. He had seen it twice before this.

It was the expression that you would make when you met ghost, your enemy, your long lost family or… when you found your mate.

The first three was impossible, knowing Eros’s history, but the last one… Josh was sure that was the expression that he saw when his friend found their mate.

But, why he didn’t say anything? The white hair woman also said nothing and just walked away. Would he be wrong about his assumption? Josh didn’t think he was wrong…

“We are here,” Colton said, breaking the tension and quietness in the air, as he pulled over the car to the parking lot.

“A bar?” Josh frowned when he realized what building in front of them. “We will meet them here? I thought this will be a formal meeting.”

The sky had turned orange and the stars studded the dusk, as the sun went down when they finally arrived at their meeting point.

The four of them immediately got off the car once Colton turned off the engine and took their backpack.

“Stay close with me,” Eros said, as he took Emily’s backpack and carried it for her.

“Okay,” Emily replied happily. She loved his attention and the way he cared for her, with that she wrapped her arms around his and both of them followed Colton and Josh, who had walked ahead.

Night had not come yet, therefore this bar was not really crowded, they still could move easily and checked their surroundings, but the first thing that they needed to find was an exit. This was their first instinct.

Whenever they entered a building, they would need to find an exit, how many of it and how to get there quickly.

That was how they were trained.

“This is the first time I enter a bar,” Emily mumbled softly and surprised when Eros put his arm around her waist and drew her closer, as they entered the bar.

Colton stopped walking and scoured the whole area, as if he looked for someone and then strode across the dance floor to the corner table, where there was a woman in blonde hair, sitting alone with a bottle of whiskey in front of her.

“You are late.” That was the first greeting that the woman gave to them, once they were within an earshot.

Colton took a seat next to her in this half circle sofa, while Eros pushed Emily gently to sit at her other side.

Eros sat next to her, while Josh at the outer of the seat, he stretched his long legs and asked for drink already.

“We are not drinking here,” Colton reminded Josh, but he grinned.

“A glass or two will not make me drunk, you don’t need to worry about that.” Josh brushed it off easily.

In the end, Colton let him did whatever he wanted and put his focus at the woman next to him.

“She is Vanesha,” Colton introduced them to her. “She is our people in this city.” There was a strange look that Colton gave to Vanesha when he introduced her that way. “Now, let’s get down to the business.”

Vanesha looked at the three people next to her and her eyes landed on Emily. “So, you are the girl that Ariana talked about?”

Emily was not sure what kind of conversation that Ariana had with her, but she nodded anyway, since they came here to see her.

“Where is it?” Colton asked her impatiently, he wanted to make sure that they got what they wanted and get out of here quickly. This place made him uncomfortable. Not only this place, but this city, because it full with human and he didn’t really like it.

“You are really impatient,” Vanesha grumbled, but she took out something from her hand bag and placed in on the table. “This is what we promised you.”

On the table, there was a small tube filled with orange liquid, the size was not bigger than a pinky finger and it looked harmless.

Vanesha glanced at Emily, who didn’t do anything about it. “What are you doing? Don’t you want to check on it?”

“Ah.” Emily snapped out of her reverie and then took something out of her bag, she pulled out two tubes and a snippet and then grabbed the yellow tube on the table to mix it with both of it.

“You are so young to be a healer,” Emily commented, as she checked on her. “How old are you? Eighteen? Seventeen?”

“You don’t need to know,” Eros said sharply, he glared at Vanesha, but she didn’t even flinch to receive such hostility from the young lycan.

“Okay.” Vanesha raised her hands and leaned her back, as she stared at what Emily was doing, she was concentrating right now and seemed to know what exactly she was doing. “If you join us, you will have a better future, don’t you want to be with your own kind?”

Emily threw her a glare, but then she immediately lowered her head to conceal her dislike, they had not yet met more than ten minutes, but she already disliked her.

“No, thank you,” she said immediately, because she didn’t want Eros to think about it, since he had talked about the same thing this afternoon. “I don’t want to go anywhere.”

“Oh, so the pack member treats you well.” There was a mocking tone in the way she spoke.

“Yes,” Emily replied, she looked at the tubes and fixed her attention to what she was doing, determined to ignore Vanesha.

On the other hand, Vanesha’s phone vibrated inside her hand bag and she took it out only to find a massage from someone. She checked on it briefly and frowned, as she stole a furtive glance at Eros.

“So, you are the lycan in the pack,” Vanesha said, as she put down her phone. “My people just confirmed it.”

Eros glanced at her, but said nothing.

“We don’t we try this on him to make sure whether it is working or not?” Vanesha suggested. “We need someone to try it after all.”
