Untamed: The Alpha

Chaos looked the same, but she didn’t like the rumors that she heard surrounding him, especially when those rumors were proved right.

The way Chaos talked about that girl and how he made his decision right now, told them vividly about the importance of this girl.

“We just need to get rid of her then,” Skylar concluded simply. She would fight until her last breath for Chaos, but not for a girl that she didn’t even know. Her pride wouldn’t allow her.

Yet, Chaos’ reply to that statement was beyond her expectations.

“Should I get rid of all of you too since you are worthless to me unless you did what I told you?” Chaos snapped at her. The only reason for Chaos to not get rid of them immediately was that he still needed them. They were useful.

But, if they were going to go against a direct order from himself, he wouldn’t hold back ending them right there and then either. However, before that, Chaos had to handle this girl first.

“And it is not good to eavesdrop.” Chaos had felt her presence the moment she woke up and walked out of the bedroom. He knew that she was looking for him before she decided to come down and started eavesdropping on their conversation.

Yet, Chaos let Zuri do that. She was bound to know what would happen after all. It was only a matter of time.

.....

Inside this room, it was only Skylar and Norbeat, who seemed surprised and directed their attention toward the door, while Killian and Knox had long detected Zuri’s presence and were wondering what Chaos was up to for letting her do that.

Slowly, the door opened and Zuri was seen standing there with her white hair that was slightly disheveled. It was not hard to guess that the first thing she did after waking up was to look for Chaos and then ended up eavesdropping on their conversation.

“I didn’t eavesdrop,” she said in her defense.

Skylar looked at Zuri with so much hostility for someone who had met her for the first time. That was completely uncalled for. “Said someone who had just done that.”

Zuri’s hazel eyes found her and she knew immediately that she didn’t like this woman. “Do I know you?” She had been receiving this kind of crap even while she was in the pack, as those people loved giving her a hard time.

And if even back then she didn’t accept those crap talk well, why would she now?

“No, but I hope we will never.” Skylar’s gaze clashed with Zuri’s glare when she said that.

“Don’t worry, the feeling is mutual,” Zuri replied and then shifted her attention to Chaos instead, she looked at him and her gaze softened. “If you don’t want me to listen to your conversation, you should have let me know earlier.”

Thinking about it again, Zuri should have known that Chaos would be able to sense her presence, but she still stupidly did that.

“I want you to rest, not to keep you in the dark.” Chaos took Zuri’s hand and pulled a chair for her. “Sit here.”

Well, that was surprising... Zuri thought she would have an argument with Chaos about this, but he just let her listen directly.

Chaos then stood behind her and put his warm and big hands on her shoulders, as he looked at the rest of the four people one by one.

“I want all of you to stay close to her.” Chaos raised his voice a little bit when Skylar was about to interrupt him. “If she gets hurt. It will be on all of you, who will pay for it.”

“What do you mean by ‘pay for it?” Killian straightened his back, as he blinked his eyes, mortified. “You mean it as in, you will take our souls?”

“What else? He had done the worst to this realm for her, taking your soul is just a walk in the garden,” Knox scoffed. He answered the question for Chaos, even though he himself didn’t like the truth behind it.

“My lord, you are not serious, right? You will get rid of all of us just because of her?” Norbeat complained in his childish voice, so it was hard to take him seriously.

“He will,” Knox replied.

“This is a preposterous request,” Skylar muttered under her breath, clearly not satisfied with the arrangement. “I have other important things to do rather than being a babysitter for her.”

“There will be nothing else that you can do if you lost your life,” Norbeat commented. He was with Skylar in refusing the idea of taking care of Zuri, but he didn’t want to upset Chaos. No matter what, he had pledged his life to him and would follow what he commanded, despite not liking it.

On the other hand, Zuri didn’t understand the situation that she was in right now, yet when she heard what Norbeat said, she mouthed at him a ‘thank you,’ with a teasing smile and crossed both of her hands in front of her chest to make a grand gesture expressing how touched she was by what he said, annoying the soul possessor.

However, when she turned around and looked at Chaos, she knew there was more to this matter.

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

July was in the car the moment Knox left the manor, she was driving straight to where the witches were living. She needed to see Ciara.

July didn’t even let Sebastian know that she was going out of the manor, because she didn’t want anyone to know what she was going to do. She knew this was wrong and it was stupid of her to even think of doing this.

But, she was desperate and this was the only option that she could think of.

Once she arrived in the biggest house in this area, she got out of the car and walked toward the front door. She had not even called before to let Ciara know that she was coming, but somehow, the witch could see it.

Before July could knock on the door, someone had opened it from inside and needless to say it was Ciara. The witch smiled softly at her, as she stepped aside to let her in.

“I have been waiting for you,” Ciara said lightly. She looked beautiful in her nightgown while her long hair cascaded down her shoulders.

“How did you know?” July narrowed her eyes, as she stepped into the house.

“I know. I know more than you can imagine,” she replied, while closing the door and leading July to her room. This was the first time for July to be in the witch’s room.

“How did you know?” July felt her heart beating so fast. She was considering backing away and leaving the house before she put herself in a complicated situation where she couldn’t find a way out.

“Silly, of course I know, what else did I not know.” Ciara waved her hand and opened the door to her bedroom widely, inviting July to step in, but when she didn’t, Ciara spoke languidly. “You will not be here if you are not sure and since you have come, why don’t you put aside your worries and end this right here?”

July knew exactly what she was talking about, even though she still was not able to wrap her head around the idea of how she could have known so much.

“This is what you want, right? This is what you have been wanting, since you met him again and realized what will become of you.” Ciara leaned over to her and she could see how surprised July was. “You want this so badly and desperately. That’s why you are here right now, am I wrong?”

No, she is not. “You don’t have any idea about what is in my mind.” July tried to backpedal, denying it.

However, Ciara didn’t buy it. She shook her head and looked into July’s pitiful eyes, as she put her hand over July’s flat stomach. “You don’t want your life to be like Anne’s. You don’t want to end up like her. You want a little family of your own. You want to match your lifespan with his.”

July sucked in a cold breath when she heard that and took a step back.

“I know what you want July and I can help you...” Ciara smiled at her harmlessly. “You know that I can help you, that’s why you came to me.”

“Can you do that?” July squinted her eyes at Ciara.

“Of course,” she replied confidently. “Even if I can’t, there is someone that definitely will be able to do so. I want you to meet him.”

“Who?” The first thought that came to July’s mind was one of the witches, but Ciara referred to the person as ‘he’.

“His name is Aaron.”

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

Jasmine heard a knock on the door, as she allowed this person to enter her bedroom. She knew who she would see because she had been waiting for him.

“What do you need?” Darius asked Jasmine once he was inside, because he was told that their Luna needed his help with something, since she was not comfortable with the other guards that were placed outside of her bedroom.

“I need you to fix this,” Jasmine said, as she showed him the telephone inside the room, from which she usually made calls to ask for anything she wanted whenever Liam grounded her.

Darius glanced at the phone and walked over to check on it. “Why did you whack the phone?” He frowned at Jasmine.
