Untamed: The Alpha

334 I HURT YOU

“Pull it out.”

The black sword was lodged in Chaos’ chest, but there was not even a drop of blood from that wound.

Zuri looked at that wound and was unsure whether that was good news or bad news for her.

“Blue,” Chaos said her name tiredly when Zuri didn’t give any reaction. His dark blue eyes had returned, his whole demeanor had changed and now he was not as scary as he was a moment ago. He just looked... exhausted.

Zuri was sure this was the Chaos that she knew.

“Pull it out,” Chaos repeated when Zuri did nothing and just continued to stare at him blankly. He could sense her confusion and her mixed feelings, but for now, he needed this sword out of his chest. “It is uncomfortable.”

“Oh,” Zuri gasped softly, only then did Zuri nod and immediately proceed to pull the sword out of his chest, her hands still shaking as Chaos furrowed his brows. It was so rare to see him in pain and this agonized her as well. “I am sorry...” she said regretfully when Chaos let out a soft grunt.

“Keep going.” Chaos wrapped Zuri’s hands in his own as he helped her pull the sword out of his chest, since she was shaking badly.

It was a little bit hard to pull it out because the sword got stuck, but if she used brute force, he would be in so much pain. Moments like this really tormented her.

.....

Zuri blinked a couple of times because she didn’t want to cry, she didn’t want to look weak in front of Chaos right now.

Even though only a couple of minutes passed before Zuri could finally pull out the sword, she felt it was much longer than that. It was very long and each passing second was very agonizing for her.

Once the black sword was successfully withdrawn, it disappeared into thin air, as if the solid weapon that had hurt Chaos had never been there in the first place.

“I am sorry,” Zuri sobbed. She caught Chaos’ body before he fell to the ground, as both of them sat on the ground. “I am sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

Zuri cradled Chaos in her arms, as he breathed deeply and snuggled closer to her, as if to find some comfort. The scent that he knew along with the warmth that he was familiar with.

“I didn’t mean to stab you...” Zuri whimpered, she kissed his forehead and felt his long and dark hair tangle between her fingers, he was alive and that was all that mattered.

However, Chaos raised his hand and touched Zuri’s neck, as he muttered under his breath. “I hurt you.”

On Zuri’s pale skin, there was a mark, a glaring red print of Chaos’ hand from when he strangled her. The color of it was horrible to see, as if telling people what kind of cruelty that she received from Chaos.

Chaos traced his fingers on her skin, as his eyes remained fixed on it, there was this wave of guilt that he couldn’t describe. He had done everything that he could do to prevent something like this from happening, but in the end, none of that could save her from him.

What the centaurs told him years ago was right. What he and Zuri had was an ill fate...

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

“You will be in charge,” Captain Zach told Mohan when he approached him before this team was deployed to the battle ground. He handed a badge to him.

“What?” Mohan took the badge, but he rushed after his captain. “Cap. Zach! Where is Nikolai? He should be the one to lead the team.” Mohan felt the badge in his hand was so heavy. He had never led a team before, especially on such a short notice. The responsibility was too huge.

“Nikolai will be out of duty until further notice,” Zach said, but he didn’t stop to give anymore explanation and Mohan didn’t think he could get something out of him if he didn’t wish to tell anything.

As the Captain went away, Mohan stood in his place, trying to figure out what was actually going on Nikolai’s side.

To be out of duty at such a crucial time like right now, that too on a very short notice, it must have been something very serious for this to happen to someone like Nikolai.

Yet, Mohan couldn’t think of which rules that he had broken to be discharged.

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

Sol watched in anger when he witnessed how many soldiers had died during the fight against the hellbounds.

The hellbounds were shifters, yet they were more ferocious and fierce compared to any other shifter. They were bloodlust creatures that would drink blood as the source of their energy, just like the blood sucking vampires.

They were of the same size as werewolves, but they moved faster and their attacks were more brutal. Most of the time, they would take a bite of their enemy’s flesh and drink their blood. They simply view them as their food.

There were dozens of them right now that they had to deal with and all of those nasty creatures brought hell to this place.

There were a lot of gunshots, screams and deaths once the attack was finally over.

Archie was dying in Sol’s arms with blood oozing out of his stomach. He lost his right arm, one of those hellbounds must have eaten it and Archie saw that horrifying scene with his own eyes.

He breathed raggedly, while Sol cradled him in his arms.

“Kill them... kill them all...” Archie stammered, his vision had turned black, he was no longer aware of his surroundings, or even able to see his son’s face. The very son he wanted to succeed himself. “Kill them all...”

Archie repeated those words over and over until there was nothing left of him and he stopped breathing.

“Yes, father. I will,” Sol promised him. They had never been close, but at the end of the day, he was his father.
