母女的秘密授课

If it was not for her bad temper, the people around her would even find it comfortable to be around her.

However, Jasmine didn’t think that she had to change anything about herself. If there was something, the only thing that she wanted to change would be her appearance, because for her, her body that reflected in the mirror was not enough. She wanted to look younger. She didn’t want to age.

She hated those supernatural creatures that could live for a thousand years without experiencing any changes in their appearance. How unfair the universe toward them as humans. She was bitter.

“Commander, Jasmine,” someone called her, as they knocked on the door and this cut her line of thought off. “Everyone was waiting for you outside.”

“Ten minutes,” she said and then heard the sound of footsteps fading away in the corridor.

Jasmine shook her head and put on her gear. This would be the first time for her to meet Liam after five years. If they had a chance to see each other, that was. And it was definitely not some kind of a weird date that they used to go to at one point in their life in the past.

She needed to stop thinking about her appearance and instead start thinking about how to win this fight. It would be a bloodbath, because this attack would be reinforced with their latest weapons. It would come as a shock for those nasty shifters.

Jasmine pressed her lips. She was the commander for this operation, not some kind of a lovesick teenager. She didn’t need to think what Liam would think of her after years of not seeing each other.

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

The memories from the last fight between him and Damon rushed to his head once he regained his consciousness.

He growled in a low voice when he pushed himself up to sit down and let this knowledge sink in. He won the battle. If he was alive now, it meant he won the fight.

The last moment of him killing the brown beast was a blur of memories, but he remembered the feeling when his claws dug deeper into his flesh as the warm blood spurted out from the wounds that he inflicted.

He even remembered the serene feeling that he felt when the beast fell on the ground as life left his eyes. It was something that he couldn’t describe, something therapeutic if he could say.

And the second thought that came to his mind after that was Emily. He lifted his chin and found her on the couch. She had her body curled under the shabby blanket that he always used, her face contorted. Even in her sleep, she couldn’t feel at ease.

Eros got off the bed and carried her over carefully before he laid her down on the bed and covered her with the blanket. She looked so thin for a girl around her age and unusually pale.

Did she eat?

How about her food?

Usually, it was Eros, who would get food for her.

Eros put his hand on her forehead and was relieved that she didn’t get a fever. Emily would usually be down with a fever when she was too distraught or too tired.

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

Zuri nudged Chaos’ cheek to wake him up. She had cooked breakfast for him, albeit her not being sure about the taste. But it wouldn’t be that bad, right? After all, it was just an omelet.

“I cooked something for you,” she said, as she put down the plate on the table next to his bed. The light of the morning sun streamed through the window, illuminating the room as it shone on Chaos’ skin.

It would be exaggerated to say that he was glowing under the sunlight, but that was the truth.

“Wake up, let’s have breakfast together,” Zuri spoke again, nudging his arm now. The gauge was still tightly wrapped around his upper body and she was curious why those wounds still had not healed yet. “If you don’t wake up, I will eat all the food myself.”

“You can eat it all,” Chaos said sleepily with his eyes still closed, but he hissed when Zuri tugged his long hair slightly and then opened his eyes. They were dark.

Zuri came to understand Chaos’ current condition. When his eyes turned dark, he would be in need of his shattered soul, but not only that, he seemed to lose control over himself whenever he was like this.

But, didn’t he just get his shattered soul two days ago? Why was he in need of it again? The span in between his outbursts was getting shorter and shorter.

“No, we will eat breakfast together, come on. Wake up.” Most of the time these two days, Chaos just laid on the bed, seeming all lethargic and Zuri didn’t know what caused him to act like that. She was getting worried.

Chaos blinked his eyes and then pushed himself up, as he glanced at the omelet on the plate that Zuri shoved into his hands.

“Is this safe?”

Zuri rolled her eyes upon hearing that question. “Fortunately, creatures like us will not die just because of mere food poisoning.” She gave the fork to him.

However, right at the same time, Zuri hissed when Chaos pulled her close to him, as they heard a loud explosion and before they knew it, both of them had been thrown out of the room, shattering one of the glass windows. They fell so fast from the top floor of the apartment building.

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

“You poisoned him.” That was not a question, but a statement from Eros to his alpha. He came to his room, right after he woke up, asking for an explanation.

He had been standing beside Liam’s bed for more than ten minutes before the alpha woke up because he felt his sharp glare.

“Good morning,” Liam said sleepily, he sat down and rubbed his face roughly to face him. “What a pleasant morning to be woken up like this.”

He wondered how long this young lycan had been standing there, watching him sleeping before he finally woke up. If his intention was to kill him, he would have died by now.

Liam realized that he took this matter regarding Eros too lightly.

“You poisoned him.” Eros repeated his words and this made Liam grunt in response.

“Yes, I did. Or else, you will be the one that had been burned yesterday, instead of standing haughtily in front of me right now.” Liam stood up and approached Eros, as he shot him a dagger look. “I will not find you entering my room again without my permission. Are we clear?”

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

Emily woke up and felt the soft blanket that covered her body and the comfortable bed under her. She frowned slightly, because the last time she remembered, she was sleeping on the couch, curling her body under the shabby blanket that Eros always used.

It felt comfortable and helped her to sleep better when she was surrounded by his scent.

But, now, she was confused as to why Eros was not in the room and she was on the bed instead? Emily got off the bed and was about to look for him when the two warriors, who always checked on Eros every morning, came.

“Hm? Where is your brother?” Kyle asked. He was a tall man with dirty blonde hair and eyes as sharp as an eagle. He used to be the leader of the group when they went out for a mission.

Emily stood near the bed and was frightened, as she stared at the open door. It was only a few steps away, but these two men were standing in between.

“I think...” Emily cleared her throat to make her voice steadier and continued to speak, “he went to the dining hall to get breakfast. He will be back soon.”

Because Emily was not allowed to be in the dining hall, as she was a human, thus Eros didn’t want to eat his breakfast there as well. He would always take two sets of meals with him and spend his morning eating with his little human.

It was well known among the members of the pack.

“So, he’s already awake now?” Derek asked again, as he sat down on the edge of the bed. “Good for him.”

“Let’s go. If he is indeed fine, we don’t need to spend another second here.” The other man, Josh, tugged on Derek’s arm to make him leave, but the man decided to shrug his hand away, while his eyes pinned Emily with that little smirk on the corner of his lips that made her uncomfortable.

“She looks fine, right?” Derek nodded at Emily, talking to Josh. “I wonder what she will look like in a few years.”

Josh frowned, yet didn’t say anything, but Derek didn’t need him to agree or disagree with him.

“She will be a freaking beautiful slut for the entire pack, in a few years, right? What do you think?” Derek chuckled, his eyes bore into Emily, as if he was going to undress her and this made the little girl back away.

Emily kept glancing at the door nervously, trying to calculate her chances to be able to reach the door before Derek or Josh did, but the outcome was something obvious. She didn’t stand a chance against them.

“But probably Eros will take you first, since you are already in his bed now.” Derek chuckled at his own words.

“Did you say something about me?” Eros spoke coldly, as he entered the room.
