05) Heaven's Angel

Chaos's POV

.

'What does he think he's doing?' Eros growled in my mind. 

'How do I know?' I snapped at him and focused on the matter at hand.

"What is the purpose of doing that? You can't keep slaves in your pack. That's illegal!" I asked, looking right at the torturers.

With their weak aura and submissive attitude, I could clearly tell that these two were omegas. But there was something amiss with that mysterious girl, Eva.

Even though she appeared as a submissive omega, I felt like my dominant aura didn't affect her. She pretends that it does, but in reality it didn't seem like that.

Who is she, really?

"Alpha... We- Our alpha-"

"Oh, that's his orders?! Fine. I'll settle this matter with him then. But for doing what you did now, pray for the goddess that you wouldn't cross me ever again!!" I threatened being unable to listen to their unpleasant voices and pathetic excuses.

'See where that ass, Jared is.' I ordered my beta through our mind link as I strode out of the kitchen.

'He's with Alpha Aziel in his office. Is everything okay, alpha?' He replied soon after.

'I found that 'slave' and it was the girl you were with the other day.' As soon as I said that, Ezra shouted in my mind, making my head spin.

'WHAT?' 

'Don't scream in my mind. Get lost!' I said, annoyed before closing the link and marched right into Jared's office startling the two men who had been discussing, or more likely arguing about something in there.

"A-alpha Nightwalker!"

"Chaos..." They both greeted me simultaneously but with completely contrasting tones.

While my cousin looked smug after seeing me, Jared looked like he was going to piss in his pants any second.

"What do you think you are doing?! Don't you know that keeping a slave is illegal?!!" I questioned furiously without waiting any longer wondering the reason behind their contrasting attitudes.

"A-alpha... I- We didn't-"

"Oh, come on... We both know that, that's not the right answer." Aziel objected in a playful tone without even giving Jared any chance to speak.

However, his eyes held a murderous glint that matched with my mood unlike the friendly tone he maintained.

What exactly is his problem here?

"You need to let go of my sister before we do something really reckless and you know exactly how it would go for you." Aziel threatened, confusing me even more.

His sister? Isn't she in the Midnight Moon pack? 

Most importantly, what exactly are 'we' planning to do now?

"But Alpha Midnight, she's-"

"ENOUGH!" Aziel snapped at Jared, extruding his all powerful alpha aura.

That's new.

Even though Aziel was a very powerful alpha, he always maintained a friendly attitude unlike me, so anyone could go and discuss matters with him instead of going after each other's throats. But today... It seemed like the roles were reversed.

Today, he acted more like me. Or even worse. 

"I'm done with your bullshit. If you don't do what I want you to do right now, I'm going to wipe your whole pack out of existence within the next couple of hours!! I'm sure Chaos will gladly help me to do that." He threatened again, stealing a glance towards me.

"What exactly are you planning to do, Aziel?" I asked, folding my arms across my chest.

"Getting the business done in your stead." He deadpanned.

That slight disrespect earned a growl from Eros but I had more things running in my mind to pay attention instead of that.

"My business?"

"Later." My question again got deadpanned by him, which earned a louder growl this time.

"So, Jared... What do you think?" 

"I- I'll release her, alpha." Jared agreed very reluctantly to whatever requirement Aziel made.

"Good and remember NOT to come anywhere near my sister ever again!! If I had to hear any kind of bad mouthing about her in the future, I'll hunt them down and... you. Understood?" As Aziel warned, Jared lowered his head and mumbled a quick "Yes''.

I admit that it was very pleasing to the eye, but I didn't feel any satisfaction because I wasn't the one who caused it.

"Remember to get the adoption papers done within the next hour." Aziel reminded him before hurriedly marched out of the room.

And there goes my chance to get a proper answer... Damn it!

.

After that I heard that my cousin adopted that omega, Eva into his family since she was still considered as a child. And I suppose that was also the reason for her to stay in this pack for this long, enduring all that pain and tortures. 

Poor thing...

'Don't pity her! She's not weak and it was supposed to be you, who should have helped her out of this hellhole. Idiot!' Eros grumbled in my mind.

It was always like this between him and me after Aziel officially took that girl under his wings and I hate this.

'What are you suggesting then? Clearly, she is NOT our mate. So why do you care?'

'I didn't say that she isn't our-'

'Then claim her! Why are you whining in my mind instead of helping her out?' I snapped, disturbing his thoughts.

'It's not that I- Do you feel it?' He changed the topic, suddenly changing his annoyed tone into an excited one.

'Feel what?' 

'Focus' Eros advised and I did exactly that.

For a moment, I didn't feel anything. But when I focused intently, I felt the same pull I felt towards that girl previously.

This time, much stronger and deeper.

It led me out of the pack house and a few yards into the woods until I came across a small meadow. 

On this midsummer night, I was brightly lit with silver moonlight and thousands of little fireflies and there in the middle of it I saw the source of the pull that led me here.

She stood there with her back towards me and her head turned upwards. And with her small figure glowing in the moonlight and shiny silver hair cascading down past her knee length she looked like an angel, descended from heaven.

When the wind carried her intoxicating gardenia flowery-like scent towards me, I would've fallen onto my knees if it wasn't for the urge I felt to close the distance between us. 

Feeling my presence, as she looked over her shoulder, her enchanting sapphire-silver eyes pierced through mine in curiosity as the bond I've been afraid to have for this long clicked into place. 

"Mate" Eros called out loud the word he has been dreaming to call so softly, even I had to double check whether it was really mine, making her face lit up in shock and surprise.
