Untamed: The Alpha

302 I WILL NEVER LET YOU GO

Zuri knew what she liked or disliked, she was pretty clear about this and now there was no doubt that she disliked the girl named Skylar.

Especially when Chaos told her that she was a mind controller. She was one of the rarest creatures in this realm, just like Norbeat or Knox, but Killian, from what Zuri learned from Chaos, there were around a dozen dragon shifters in this realm, though their number was not as big as other shifters.

“You don’t need to worry,” Chaos said. He was exceptionally calm and warm toward her tonight. He hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder, as they watched the clear sky. “She will not be able to do anything to you.”

The thought of Skylar messing with her mind or Chaos’ made her sick. What was the extent of her ability? What else could she do?

“How can you be so sure?” Zuri asked Chaos skeptically, as she leaned her body against his sturdy chest. She loved it when Chaos hugged her like this, enveloping her body in his arms to keep her warm. She felt protected.

“You have my sword.” Chaos kissed her hair. “You don’t need to worry if she will do something to manipulate you.”

Zuri turned around and looked Chaos right in the eyes when she spoke again with hesitation. “What actually is this sword?” She extended her hands to cup his face, so he wouldn’t be able to avoid the question. Zuri wanted the answer and she wanted it now.

It felt so easy to touch him, as if this was second nature to her.

Chaos had known about the darkness inside of him, he had been living with it since the first moment he could recall.

.....

Yet, the darkness had always been under his control, until he lost Blue for the first time, many centuries ago. He lost himself and his control over the darkness. He succumbed to his darkest desire to destroy everything that he could touch.

Not to mention when he let his soul be shattered in order to get her back. It was a complete chaos, a dark era at that time.

It was the Moon Goddess, who gave him this sword for him to regain his control over himself, until he could get himself together and didn’t need it.

Chaos didn’t need the sword once he gathered enough of his shattered souls and was able to control himself. Therefore, he let Norbeat protect it, just in case something like this happened.

However, the sword was not only able to calm him down, but it also served as a tool that could actually kill him.

“What do you mean by that?” Zuri looked at Chaos with concern in her eyes. She didn’t like hearing there was something that could hurt him. Something that could do permanent damage to him.

Zuri always saw Chaos as someone invincible, someone that wouldn’t die. He was an immortal creature. No matter how long it took for him to recuperate from a battle, just like how he did before, he wouldn’t cease to exist.

Therefore, death and Chaos had never been in the same sentence in Zuri’s mind.

“If I go out of control and I am not able to stop myself, I want you to stop me,” Chaos said softly. He looked at Zuri closely, as if he had never seen her before. He could see understanding and then fear seeping into her hazel’s eyes.

Actually, what Chaos wanted to say was; if he was going to hurt her because he forgot about her, he wanted this girl to be able to protect herself. He didn’t want her to get hurt, even if the threat was himself. He wanted her to be out of harm’s way, even if it cost his wretched life.

Chaos didn’t care if he was going to wreak havoc in this realm or kill every single creature, he just didn’t want him to be the source of her pain.

“I am not going to do that.” Zuri’s hazel eyes hardened, she took a step back, but she was stopped by the railing behind her.

“You will and you must.” Chaos stood rooted. He looked aloof about this subject, as if they were not talking about his life. He simply didn’t care about it. All he cared about right now was what was in front of him. The girl in front of him.

Even now, Zuri failed to understand the extent of Chaos’ feelings for her. How deep they were...

Yes, he cared about her, if he did not, he would never chase her to the underworld and take her back to this realm. He wouldn’t release those dark creatures into this realm.

Chaos seemed so hard to be understood, but actually it was quite simple. He just wanted her, that was it. As simple as that.

But, the following question would be; why?

“You can’t force me to do something that I don’t want to.” Zuri crossed her arms in front of her chest, staring at Chaos intently, because she didn’t want to agree with that crazy idea of his. She was being difficult.

“You promised me, Blue, you have given your word that you will follow what I said,” Chaos reminded her, but she still didn’t want to acknowledge that.

“No, I will not.” Zuri seethed. “You can call me anything, you can call me a liar or worse than that, but I will not follow through with what I promised you years ago when I was only eight years old. You are insane if you think you can hold it over my head. You can’t count on a promise from a na?ve, eight years old little girl.”

Chaos chuckled when he heard that. “You are nothing, but na?ve, even at your age at that time.”

Zuri was about to protest, but Chaos leaned over to kiss back her complaint. He deepened the kiss when she struggled to free herself, because she had so much to say in order to make Chaos change his mind.

Chaos put his hand behind her neck, pulled her closer toward him, leaving no space between them, as he pressed his body against hers.

His warm breath and sweet tongue caressed her lips gently, before she gave up and opened her mouth to let him do whatever he wanted with her. She could feel his muscles tense when she braced her hands on his shoulders to steady herself, because she found this kiss intoxicating and she didn’t want this to end.

Zuri grunted when Chaos pulled himself away, as she was breathless at this point and her lips had swollen, but it was not a big deal, since she would recover very fast from it.

However, what made Zuri gasp in shock was the fact that they were no longer on the balcony and her feet couldn’t find their footing, which had undoubtedly disappeared.

They were hovering high above the ground, a few meters closer to the night sky.

Chaos looked dazzling under this dim light of the moon, he looked perfect and warm and gentle and everything that Zuri couldn’t imagine he could be, whenever she remembered how brutal he was when his dark side took over his consciousness.

“Do you like it?” Chaos asked when Zuri’s surprised expression turned into a smile. He kissed the corner of her lips.

Zuri giggled softly, a beautiful sound to his ears. “I like you more,” she said sheepishly. This would be the first time for her to say what she was feeling for him so blatantly. She felt vulnerable...

“Don’t. You will get into bigger trouble if you like me.” Chaos rested his forehead against hers.

“You say that, but at the same time your actions tell me otherwise.” Zuri didn’t buy it. She knew that her feelings were mutual, but she had not yet understood the depth of his feelings. “If you don’t want me, you should let me go. Will you let me go?”

“I will not.” She slipped a few times from his grasp and he knew how it felt to lose her. He didn’t want to deal with that pain anymore. “I will never let you go.”

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

“So, it is July, right?” Aaron smiled softly at the woman in front of him. He looked at her warmly.

“Aaron,” July stated, since Ciara had told her about the person that she would meet once she stepped into the room.

“Yes, I am.” Aaron extended his hand to shake July’s, as a formal sign of their introduction. “How do you want me to help you?”

July looked at the hand for a brief moment before she shook it. This man was exceptionally beautiful, he looked like someone who just walked out of a painting, especially his golden eyes, which made July feel he was surrounded by mystery.

“You tell me. What do you think is the reason I came here?” She wanted to know how much this creature knew about her. She was already surprised by how Ciara had been expecting her arrival tonight.

Aaron tilted his head. He was standing beside the sofa, with only Ciara, who was sitting there right now.

“You want a family with Chaos’ shattered soul, Knox.”

July was surprised that he knew Knox was Chaos’ shattered soul. “What can you do about it?”

“I can do anything, as long as you make a deal with me.”
