Untamed: The Alpha

197 I WILL CLAIM YOUR SOUL

“You are and you will always be like that.”

The words rang in Zuri’s ears and this made her grit her teeth. She hated it when someone belittled her. When someone thought of her as her eight years old self.

Blue is dead. She no longer exists. She hated that version of herself.

“FUCK YOU, CHAOS!” Zuri roared. She seethed and then charged forward to attack him. He was blind after all. It could be for her advantage.

Yet, it was only her impulsiveness to think that she could best Chaos in any circumstances, Zuri knew it the moment she came to attack him.

However, to her dismay, Chaos didn’t move away, or even tried to dodge her attack. It was impossible that he didn’t know it was coming, since he could manage to skid his way through the crowd of people inside the bar, but couldn’t sense this killing intensity from Zuri when she approached him with claws extended threateningly.

And yet, it was too late for Zuri to pull back, thus her claws stabbed his left shoulder.

Zuri was petrified to say the least. She didn’t move for a few seconds, as she tried to digest what she had done to Chaos.

“Apparently you like to stab me,” Chaos said, his voice didn’t falter, he didn’t even winch when Zuri retracted her claws and blood gushed out from the wounds.

.....

“What... why?” Zuri found herself stammering when she tried to compose herself. “Why didn’t you dodge it?”

Right. Why didn’t Chaos dodge it when he could do so effortlessly?

Even Chaos didn’t know the answer to it.

He got stabbed by Zuri twice since they met again for the first time after eight years apart. He received the pain that she put him through without saying anything when he could avoid it or countered in his own way, but on the contrary, his fire didn’t burn her. The fire burned everything into ashes, but not her.

“I... you are bleeding.” Zuri’s voice was so small when she watched his blood ooze out and stain his shirt.

He shouldn’t be bleeding. He looked more like a human.

Those words from Gael echoed once again in her head. Chaos lost his powers because of the repercussions of his action to save Zuri’s life when she died, but then he was woken up before he could fully heal.

Zuri extended her hand, was about to touch him, but then she stopped mid- way, she bit her lip and dropped her hand, as she averted her gaze from the sight.

She couldn’t do it.

And right at that time, Zuri heard a small and soft groan from behind her. She turned around and found Nikolai trying to move his body, as his consciousness returned.

He was alive?!

Zuri almost didn’t believe this. She thought Nikolai had died because of what Chaos had done, but then when she remembered it correctly, Chaos didn’t do anything to claim his soul from him.

Nikolai’s body would have disappeared if Chaos indeed claimed his soul.

Zuri turned around once again and looked at Chaos with confusion. “You didn’t kill him.” Those words came out as a statement, not a question.

“You don’t want me to kill him.” His reply was curt and his expression still didn’t change, so Zuri wouldn’t be able to know what was going on in his mind.

There was a deep furrow between Zuri’s brow when she heard that, but then Chaos spoke again. His tone was casual

“He will die anyway.”

Zuri didn’t know what to say against that reply. She knew it was true. Nikolai was only human. His age has a limit, he wouldn’t be able to out age something like Chaos.

And after saying that, Chaos disappeared. A second ago he was there, bleeding from the wound on his shoulder, but the next second, Zuri was staring into the dim parking lot, where she heard Nikolai grunt in pain behind her.

Without a second thought, Zuri immediately rushed to her friend and helped him up, but what Chaos said stuck in her head.

He didn’t kill Nikolai because she didn’t want him to die...

But, why?

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

Anne was in the kitchen, making tea for herself, when she heard a loud noise from the dining table, and the glass in her hand almost slipped when she watched Chaos slumped to the floor, with blood staining his shirt. He was sweating profusely.

For a moment Anne was astounded. She had never seen Chaos in such a condition.

“What happened?” And once her consciousness kicked in, Anne immediately rushed toward Chaos and knelt beside him. She used her own hand to press on the wounds, but that was not enough to make the blood stop. “I will call Knox,” she said in a hurry.

There was no way Anne could drag Chaos to his room on her own and there were no guards inside the house, since Knox didn’t like seeing other people going in and out of the building.

It didn’t take a long time before Knox and July entered the dining room with Anne slightly left behind.

“Damn you, Chaos!” Knox cursed loudly and July stood at the side with Anne.

“Do we need to call a doctor?” July asked, unsure.

“No need,” Knox muttered and then he disappeared along with Chaos, leaving the two women staring at the empty floor, with blood smeared on it.

“Great. This is one of the perks of living with supernatural creatures,” July mumbled to herself and then walked out of the dining room, they knew where the two men were.

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

“Who had done this to you?” Knox literally growled at Chaos, but when he saw the wounds, he didn’t need to ask further. “Did you lose your mind? You let her stab you twice? The repercussions seriously had done something more than losing your sight! I will kill her!”

“Say it again and I will claim your soul.”
