Chapter 233 - Finding Eros's Whereabouts

"Selene! Selene! Wake up! You are having a nightmare!" Azrael was shaking her body to wake her up.

He heard a scream coming from Selene's room. He didn't know what was happening. When he arrived inside her room, Selene was already screaming in her sleep.

Her body was drenched in sweat. Her tears kept on flowing from the corner of her eyes. She was trembling in fear as she kept thrashing in her bed. Her fists were clutching the bed sheets tightly.

Then he noticed that Selene had difficulty breathing. If this continued she might die in her sleep. Azrael was wondering if this was another trick by Zaki, killing Selene using a nightmare.

"Selene, you have to wake up!" 

Azrael was about to slap her on the face when Selene's eyes snapped open. She immediately pounced on Azrael.

"Azrael! Help Eros! He is in danger! Eros might die because of me!" Selene started crying in Azrael's chest. Levi also arrived inside her room, checking what was happening.

"Selene, calm damn. It was just a dream," Azrael said, trying to console Selene.

"Eros. I saw him. He is injured. He is in a cage, being tied down! Azrael, maybe something happened to him that's why he couldn't return to us!" Selene continued expressing her thoughts. She was worried about Eros.

Azrael could only sigh deeply. He didn't know what to feel about this. Something was off. Maybe Selene was right. Something happened to Eros.

Azrael turned to Levi who was standing next to them. "Levi, you should go back to Angel's Agape Realm and find out what happened to Eros."

Levi shook his head. "I can't do that. I can't leave my post. I have to stay with Selene as mother angel instructed."

"But we need to know if Eros is just fine or not. Are you not curious about what happened to your master cupid?" Azrael was persuading Levi.

"You can just drop by fast and return here after ensuring that Eros is safe," he added.

Levi was still hesitating. He might get in trouble once mother angel Sienna learns that he leaves his post.

"But-"

"Levi, can you help us find out Eros's whereabouts?" Selene also asked Levi with her pleading eyes.

Levi could only sigh deeply. He didn't have the heart to refuse Azrael and Selene. He could see the worries in their eyes.

"Okay. I will go back and try to find out what happened to my Master Cupid, Eros. But I can't promise that I will learn something."

"You just have to try," Azrael encouraged him.

"Thank you, Levi!" Selene thanked him.

Levi decided to leave and go to the Angel's Agape Realm to fulfill Selene's wish. He hoped to get some information once he came into the realm.

Azrael gave Selene a glass of water to drink. She needed to calm down. Her body was still shivering in both fear and nervousness.

"What happened in your dream, Selene? What did you see? You frightened me a while ago. You were not waking up!"

Azrael was curious about Selene's nightmare. Was it just a coincidence or did Zaki have something to do with it? Was it her vision?

Selene took a deep breath before telling everything that happened in her dream.

"I saw Eros. I feel like he was being punished. We were talking when a grim reaper arrived. He told me that it was my fault that Eros would die."

Azrael was dumbfounded after hearing Selene. She had a very strange dream.

'Eros will die because of Selene? But why?'

"Selene, can you describe the appearance of the grim reaper that you saw?" Azrael wanted to know if that grim reaper was Zaki.

"I couldn't see his face. He was wearing a black robe. But I saw a red ring on his finger. Aside from that, he had a silver crest like a half crescent moon on his left chest."

Azrael frowned. He confirmed it. That grim reaper was none other than Zaki. The silver crest was his trademark.

"That was Zaki. I'm sure of it."

"Zaki? You mean the leader of the Grim Reapers?" Selene asked.

Azrael bobbed his head. "Yes. That's him. What did he do to you in your dream?"

Selene hugged herself as she recalled a frightening scene.

"He gave me a dagger, telling me that I could save Eros in exchange for my life. He said I need to choose. Only one between Eros and I will survive."

Azrael couldn't understand why Selene had to choose. And why did Eros and Selene have to die for another one to live?

Azrael had no idea about the forbidden thing that the two had done. They were not supposed to fall in love with each other. But now, both of them have acknowledged their feelings towards each other.

Eros admitted in front of the elders and Sienna that he loved Selene while Selene told Renz that she had already fallen to someone and that was Eros.

"I am about to save Eros by stabbing my heart using the dagger but before I could even do that Eros was able to untie his rope and snatched the scythe of the grim reaper. He plunged the tip of the scythe into his heart."

Selene covered her face using both hands. She was so scared seeing Eros sacrifice himself for her. She didn't want that to happen.

Azrael could now understand why Selene was so afraid. But he wondered if Selene stabbed her heart in that dream, was it possible that she could die in her sleep because of that?

"Selene, don't do some reckless things again even in your dream. We don't know what might happen to you," Azrael advised her.

"But I just want to save Eros."

Azrael shook his head. "Don't worry about Eros. He is an angel. An immortal being. He would not die, unlike you. You could die anytime."

"You see… you don't like to see Eros sacrificing his life for you. I believe Eros will feel the same way. He doesn't want to see you get hurt because of him, that's why he did that in your dream."

Azrael held Selene's shoulders while looking straight into her eyes. "So Selene, no matter what happens… Never… never take your life for granted. Treasure it and protect it. Remember that we are in this situation because you sacrificed yourself for saving Micaela. You were not supposed to die that day!" 

Azrael reminded her of what happened in the past. He didn't want Selene to throw away her life again. This was the reason he was in trouble. 

Zaki hated the fact that he brought Selene back to life without his knowledge. If Zaki had learned that situation before, he wondered how Zaki would handle it. Would things be different? 

Azrael didn't have an answer for that. He just shrugged his shoulders, brushing the thought out of his mind.

"Selene, you go back to sleep. Levi will inform us tomorrow. He will be back as soon as he gets information from the Angel's Agape Realm. Don't think about negative things so that you will not dream of it."

Selene nodded her head with a smile. She was grateful that Azrael was there to comfort her. She was so scared that she didn't want to close her eyes again.

She was afraid that her bad dream would continue. Did Eros get hurt? Did he die because of her? She was glad that it was just a nightmare. But her heart was still not at ease without seeing Eros.

She hoped to see Eros, safe and sound. She would be at peace only if Eros would return.

"Thank you, Azrael. Sorry if I troubled you tonight."

Azrael let out a soft chuckle. "Don't feel sorry, Selene. Eros left you in my care. You are my obligation now while he is not around. That punk will scold me if something bad happens to you."

Selene had no idea that Zaki was after her life. Azrael and Eros didn't tell her about it yet.

"Azrael, you did a good job. You saved my life today. If not for you, maybe I would have been hit by that car."

'Oh, that was also the work of Zaki. I should keep an eye on Selene. We don't know what kind of danger she will be facing again.' Azrael thought to himself.

Azrael said goodnight to Selene. It was improper for him to stay in her room. He would just be alert if ever she would have another nightmare.

Selene also lay down on her bed. But her mind was still occupied by Eros. She couldn't sleep.

"Eros… please come back to me. I missed you a lot." 

Selene continued to call his name, her eyes burning with tears. Her heart clenched in sadness and longing. She felt miserable not seeing him by her side.

"You said you would stick with me all the time. Where are you now, Eros? I want to see you."
