"Ha ha ha."
Ahio blinked two to four times. Darius crouched right in front of Ahio, slowly and very gently scooped the girl into a hug.
It wasn't the kind of warm hug that soothed and sent a feeling of security and comfort, it was the possessive kind of hug.
Darius buried himself into the nape of Ahio's neck, sniffing at the girl's scent.
Ahio was silent, unable to move.
In this hug, Darius occasionally snorted and let out a low growl in a good way.
"Remember this carefully, dear. You are no longer an angel of death, you are just an immature indigo to controlling your aura. So you can't be careless, don't show yourself to other people unless it's a life-threatening situation."
"Listen, you will die if you get even one serious injury that cannot be healed by medical equipment. You only have one life, and you can't act carelessly."
Ahio nodded. 'He's a werewolf.'
The girl remained silent, stiff and awkward, still unable to separate Acier from the mirror world and Darius from the real world. It feels like Ahio is still the second of three siblings, Cause', that which feels suitable for a girl like Ahio Isme.
As Darius inhaled Ahio's body odor, his breathing began to become regular, not heavy or rushed. Darius' iris color returned to normal.
The hug was lost.
Darius refers to the largest luxury chair in the room through the tail of his eye. Ahio's brain worked slowly to process the obvious hard code, the girl's forehead frowned.
Darius clicked his tongue. "Follow me."
"Where to?"
Darius didn't answer, sitting comfortably on an oversized chair that exuded an arrogant aura.
"Eat."
Ahio looked down at her appearance. She was a normal, substandard girl, it was impossible to suddenly get a man with luxury specs like the person in front of her.
"I don't remember when, where and how we met. Maybe I came to apply for a job here?"
Darius took a fork and placed a spaghetti with extra spicy sauce, clearly visible from the red color and chili seeds in the spaghetti.
"I'll tell you about the beginning of our meeting after you eat. There is no refusal, this is an order!"
The sound of Darius roaring echoed in Ahio's eardrums. The girl didn't think anymore and immediately sat down in front of Darius in a hurry but clumsily took the spoon in the hand of someone with an evil appearance.
'He's a million times scarier, inversely proportional to the aura he exudes when he's in the mirror world. But for some reason, my brain and my body's precisely response think about he was bipolar. That's bad, I'll be more oppressed than when I was in the mirror world.'
Darius nodded and picked up a phone, he didn't need to bother walking away without worrying about Ahio hearing the important conversation between him and the person on the other end.
"Okay. I'll come in five minutes."
Darius nodded hanging up the office phone.
"Quickly finish your meal. We're going to the Zebua hotel."
Ahio suddenly stopped eating. "What's that?"
Darius rubbed the top of Ahio's head affectionately. "You'll see."
The girl continued eating even though she was uncomfortable and worried.
***
"Welcome, Darius..."
An elegant, beautiful, sweet woman with a beautiful body, tall and slender, radiating an aura full of charisma, looking at Ahio with her sharp, eagle-like eyes.
That's not a figure of speech, the shape of the girl's eyes is like an eagle's. Literally predator mode.
"Meet my mate, Ahio Isme."
"Ah... You finally found it."
Darius nodded, radiating authority and great stature. Big steps swung after the woman and then They were followed by people in neat uniforms.
Ahio is clumsily busy squeezing a black knee-length dress, on Ahio's right chest there is a blue ribbon brooch, with small diamond beads dangling.
She gulped following two individuals' wide and firm steps. Arriving at a room, Ahio awkwardly sat on one of the expensive, comfortable chairs. Both palms on the thighs function to hold the skirt of the dress and make it neat and pleasing to the eye.
"Here, please handle it."
Darius took a photo that Ahio didn't have time to see, the girl was too nervous. Since changing into a beautiful dress, Ahio is still busy thinking about what kind of creature Darius is and how to survive in the dark and harsh world of a man who recognizes her as a mate.
"Okay. Wait for news from me."
A smile formed a thin curve. "Ahio."
One call was enough to pull Ahio out of her tangled thoughts. "Um?"
"I'm Lian Zebua. Nice to meet you."
Ahio's irises moved towards Acier, when the two of them looked at each other, Ahio was the one who broke eye contact their gaze first.
'Fuck. He's playing with me in an illusory dimension.'
GIRL smiled in a good way, slightly giving off a hint of graceful and fierce. Combining two personality types at once. "Of course, nice to meet you too, Lian."
The formal conversation about work didn't last long, ending a short meeting.
Ahio walked to the basement where they parked a car. GIRL walks side by side with Darius. The guards were ordered to go home first.
A car was traveling at standard speed, cutting through vehicles passing by. Ahio didn't ask moment Car took a quiet road into a protected forest area.
"Come down."
Ahio stepped down and planted her feet in the weeds growing wildly reaching her lower stomach. Other wild plants grow abundantly, and it is not uncommon for Ahio's feet to get scratched by thorny wild plants.
Right in front of Ahio, she saw a rickety old house still standing strong.
Darius entered first as the leader.
Glup. Ahio gulped a glob of saliva.
A door opened to reveal a person whose eyes were covered with a black cloth.
Sraighhh...
A woman's black cloth-covered eye was opened to reveal a beautiful woman's face.
"Raein."
