Chapter 158 - Revelation

Not only Eros and Azrael had a stunned expression on their faces, but also Selene. She heard everything that Azrael and Eros had argued inside that room.

Fortunately, the room was not locked so she was able to open it from the outside. Eros and Azrael froze in their spots.

They stopped talking. The room was engulfed by deafening Silence. They were still in their angel's form. 

'Selene? What is she doing here? Just a while ago, she was sleeping soundly together with Renz,' Eros thought to himself as he watched her.

Azrael was also observing Selene. He almost forgot to breathe. He wondered if Selene could see them right now. He just wished that she could not.

But the moment Selene said a word, Azrael confirmed that she could see them just like how she could see them on the football field before.

"Gabriel… you are Eros… my angel cupid?" Selene asked him in disbelief.

Now, Selene could understand why she could feel some similar vibes between Eros and Gabriel. Aside from that, she noticed that Eros always disappeared whenever Gabriel was with her.

Eros sighed deeply. He could no longer hide this truth from Selene. He was not in a good condition to use his power and erase her memory.

Besides, he thought it was also best that Selene would know his other identity since he could feel that he would be able to accomplish his mission soon.

Azrael was right. Selene and Renz were already falling to each other as what he had witnessed a while ago. They were comfortably sleeping together in one bed.

Eros's heart was clenching in pain whenever he would recall that scene. He was jealous… really jealous.

Eros smiled faintly at Selene while nodding his head.

"Yes, Selene. I am Eros. Gabriel is my alias when I am pretending to be a human. I'm sorry if I hide this from you," Eros finally admitted the truth.

On the other hand, Azrael felt like he was not supposed to be there. He moved his gaze back and forth between Eros and Selene. 

Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Azrael decided to flee and disappear just like what he had done before.

'I should give them privacy to talk! Let Eros explain everything. I am out here!' Azrael thought to himself.

Without waiting for Selene's response, Azrael silently left Eros and Selene inside that room.

'I will just come back later once Selene is done talking to Eros. I still need to convince Eros to go back to Angel's Agape Realm.'

Selene and Eros were now alone in his room. He was sitting on his bed while leaning his back on the headboard.

Selene could now see Eros's angel adult form. He was no longer the cute and adorable cupid in Selene's eyes. He was now the handsome silver-gray-haired man with ocean-like blue eyes.

"How about Azrael? Is he… is he an angel too?" Selene threw him another question.

Eros nodded his head. "Yes, he is an angel too. An angel of death also known as grim reaper."

"Wait, that name... Azrael. You mentioned it to me before, right? When we were in the land of the lost souls?"

"Yes… he was the grim reaper who guided and brought your soul in the land of the lost souls."

Selene fell silent for a moment, trying to absorb these revelations.

After a while, Selene remembered their conversation. She heard that Eros was hurt so she immediately moved towards him. Though she was still shaken by this revelation, her main concern now was Eros's safety.

Eros just watched Selene moving across her bed. She stopped and climbed on the bed, facing Eros.

"What happened? I heard that you were hurt… where is your wound? I wanna see it."

Eros was taken aback when he heard her concerned voice.

"Are you not mad at me?" Eros asked her expectantly.

Selene narrowed her eyes at Eros. "Of course, I am! You deceived me. But I am still worried about you. What happened? Why are you hurt?"

Eros bit his lower lip, feeling apologetic. 

"Please… don't be mad. I just want to help you using my human form. I have no intention of deceiving you." Eros softly said as he tried to explain his side.

"Yes, I understand. Let's talk about that tomorrow. I wanna know where you are hurt. Tell me…" Selene asked Eros again with her worried tone.

Eros met her gaze before grabbing her hand. Then he pressed her hand on the left side of his chest where his heart was located.

"Here… I am hurting here, Selene," Eros mumbled while putting on his pitiful face.

Selene looked at him in confusion. 

"Your heart??? Did the dark spear hit your heart? What is the dark spear? Who hurt you with the dark spear?" Selene bombarded him with so many questions.

Eros heaved a deep sigh.

'My heart is hurting because of you, not because of the dark spear. And it hurts more than the wound inflicted to me by the dark spear.'

"Don't worry, Selene. I will be fine…" Eros said, still pressing her hand on his chest.

"You don't look well! You should follow his advice. Go back to the Angel's Realm and treat your wound," Selene suggested to Eros.

Selene's heart constricted when she said those words. She heard it clearly. If Eros would go back, their mother angel would assign another cupid to take over his mission.

Would she be okay with that? That only meant she would no longer see Eros. That also meant that she would forget about him.

Eros shook his head vehemently. "No! I will not go back. My wound is not serious. He is just overreacting. Don't listen to him, Selene. I know my body. I am just fine."

Eros tightened his hold on Selene's hand. He didn't want to leave her. He couldn't do that now.

"But… he sounded so serious. Why are you being stubborn, Eros? This is for your own good."

Eros's face darkened. He didn't want Selene sending him away.

"If I do that, you will never see me again. Is that what you want Selene? Are you sending me away now since my presence is no longer needed? Renz is already falling for you so you don't need me anymore."

Selene was taken aback when she heard that. She bit her lower lip before shaking her head.

"No… it's not like that. I don't want you to leave me. I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you. But it does not mean I am sending you away."

"And you are wrong, Eros. I need you by my side. You are the one who is always giving me strength."

Eros smiled inwardly, hearing her words. His mood already improved because of Selene.

"If that's true, then don't send me away. I'm not going back until I accomplish my mission. I will stick with you, remember?"

Selene nodded her head. "Yes, I remember. But how about your wound?"

"Hmm, my wound? I know the best way to heal it faster. Do you want to help me?" Eros asked her.

Selene bobbed her head. "Yes, of course I do. How can I help you?"

Eros's lips curled up into a cheeky smile before answering her.

"Just simple, Selene. Kiss Me!"

Selene: "..."
