Untamed: The Alpha

307 WOULD HE LOSE HER AGAIN?

“I will always get you back, Blue. No matter what it takes, I will always get you back,” Chaos said softly in her ear and repeated that again and again, as if he was very scared to lose her again. Or, probably he himself didn’t realize it when he spoke that way because all he could say right now was how he felt, since he was too tired to talk about anything.

He wanted her to know how much she meant to him...

On the other hand, Zuri was stunned with this confession. This was not the same like when someone said ‘I love you’, but there was a deeper meaning in the way Chaos phrased it.

He didn’t want to lose her.

Even when she fell straight to hell, he would find her again, he would always get her back to his side. No matter how far it was and how long it would take, he would come to her even if it destroyed him.

Right, Chaos was in the process of destroying himself to get Zuri back again and again. And even now, he was still fighting to keep her safe, from whatever harm that would come her way, in spite of this harm coming from him.

Chaos trusted Zuri with the sword that could kill him, destroy his soul, and cease it to exist. He offered his life to her on a silver platter.

“Are you sleeping?” Zuri frowned when she felt Chaos put all of his weight on her while his breathing turned deep and even.

She tried to nudge his body, but there was no reaction. She tried it again, a little bit harder, but still, he wouldn’t budge an inch.

.....

At this time, Zuri thought that he was indeed sleeping, but it was so rare for him to fall asleep like this, not even caring about his surroundings.

Finally, Zuri shifted her body a little bit and held his head with both of her hands.

“He is heavy...” Zuri muttered under her breath and put Chaos’ head on the pillow, as she covered his body with a blanket. He was sleeping soundly.

How could he do this? He was fine before, there was no sign that he was sleepy, but right now, he looked very lethargic. Was this because he used his power to show Zuri his memories of the past?

Zuri laid down next to him, as she stared at his sleeping face. He looked so peaceful, like an innocent little child. No one would have thought that this man had the ability to destroy everything that he touched.

She ran her fingers over his perfect brows, down to the bridge of his nose and then his lips. His lips felt so soft on the tips of her fingers.

Feeling her touch, Chaos pulled her closer subconsciously, burying his head in the crook of her neck, as he savored her scent. It made him feel better.

Zuri had never felt like this before, all protected and warm.

If this was years ago when she was still an emotional wreck after everything she endured in the pack, she would scream and despise every touch that she felt. She still felt that way now when a stranger was being too close to her or became physical, but it was always different with Chaos.

He would always be different for her.

He was the only exception...

So, it was her? The white wolf that was with Chaos in the past? The little companion that Chaos sacrificed his soul for?

The white wolf.

The first shifter.

The girl that was sent to accompany him in this eternal life.

Someone that he would give his life for without a second thought.

It was her and would always be her...

Zuri remembered what the centaurs said when Chaos forced them to see through her. They couldn’t see her future, but her past life was very twisted.

‘She is an old soul.’ The centaur once told them. ‘You lost her once... ‘will you lose her for the second time?’ that is the real question that you want to ask me, right?’

That was the question that Chaos wanted to ask the centaur then. Would he lose her again after everything that he had gone through?

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

July looked at herself in the mirror of her dressing table. Her face looked so pale and there were visible dark circles under her eyes, as if she had not gotten a proper sleep for more than a week. She looked exhausted.

July couldn’t remember what had happened on the night she met the supernatural creature named Aaron when she visited Ciara.

But, when she woke up, she was already inside her bedroom, lying on her bed, while the sun had risen. She was woken up because Sebastian knocked on her door several times and he grew impatient because there was no answer from inside, even though it was already noon.

It was not like July to sleep in through the entire morning.

“Yes, coming,” July said in her hoarse voice. She needed to clear her throat first before she tried to answer Sebastian again. “What is it?”

July opened the door and tried to neaten her hair, so she would look more presentable, but Sebastian could see how messy she was right now.

“What happened to you?” Sebastian stood right in front of the door, but he didn’t take any step closer, because he knew this was the bedroom she shared with Knox. He didn’t have any idea whether or not that man was inside. “Are you okay?”

“Yes, I am fine,” July said a little bit too fast to make it sound more believable, yet she couldn’t hide from Sebastian that she was not fine at all.

“Stop lying in front of me.” Sebastian balled his hands, his eyes narrowed when he looked how messy she was. “You only woke up at this hour, it is not like you.”

“You don’t need to worry, I just didn’t get enough sleep last night.” July didn’t even remember all the things that she had done last night and how she could go back to this manor. It was almost as if she forgot half of the things that had happened after she agreed to strike a deal with Aaron.

What kind of deal did she make? What should she do? There must be something that she needed to do in return, right? Since, this was a deal.

Yet, she forgot completely.

July flinched and took a step back when she felt Sebastian’s hand on her forehead.

“I am sorry.” Sebastian immediately retracted his hand when he saw July’s reaction. “You look so pale, I thought you were sick. You even missed breakfast.”

July smiled to assure him and then spoke in a more cheerful tone. “Have lunch with me.”

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

When someone was staring at you intently, you would feel this creepy feeling that would make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, almost like you could sense the danger coming at you.

More or less, that was how Zuri felt when she opened her eyes and found Skylar standing next to her bed. She had her arms folded in front of her chest, with the bright light from the sun that poured in through the window, shining brightly behind her back.

Zuri immediately sat down straight, she was on her guard, as if she was about to attack her, if she made any move that threatened her.

Yet, Skylar remained unfazed. She stayed frozen in her position for a moment. She didn’t even flinch when Zuri sat up straight and got ready to attack her. What actually was inside her mind?

“Did someone give you permission to enter the room?” Zuri asked in a cold tone. She glanced beside her and found Chaos was still fast asleep. How could he not wake up at all? Was he really that tired?

“He drained his energy again,” Skylar said, as if answering the unspoken question in Zuri’s mind.

“What?” Zuri turned around and noticed that Skylar was staring at Chaos right now.

“He will not wake up until a few days later.” Skylar stared at Zuri for a long time, which made her feel uncomfortable.

“Thank you for your information, but if you don’t have anything to do here, you can get out of this room.” Zuri was not at all thrilled to be woken up by a strange woman staring down at her.

“You don’t own this room.” Skylar circled the bed and then stopped by Chaos’ side, as she stared at his sleeping face. “You don’t own him as well.”

Zuri narrowed her eyes. She was not that clueless, but she needed more evidence than this to confirm her guess.

“You are right,” Zuri said lightly, but when Skylar bent her body to close the distance between her and Chaos, she squinted her eyes dangerously. “But I can say that he will not like it when you touch him.”

“Really?” Skylar smirked, but she fixed her eyes on Chaos, his lips to be more precise when she leaned over. “I don’t remember that.”

Skylar inched closer to Chaos, while he was not aware of his surroundings. She wanted to kiss him, right in front of Zuri.

She was only a little girl that Chaos took with him because she could sense his shattered souls. She meant nothing to him, right?

That was completely wrong.

Skylar ignored the warning and she shouldn’t be surprised when Zuri clawed her face when she was just a second away from kissing him.
