Untamed: The Alpha

234 ANNE’S STORY (2)

Chaos dropped to his knees and then stared at the little girl, who was seemingly almost on the brink of death. He stretched out his hand and touched her forehead lightly.

“Get up,” he said. His voice was not loud, but it was clear enough for Anne to hear amidst the pitter patter of the rain.

Anne blinked her eyes. She breathed heavily and felt her legs were so painful. She whimpered when she tried to move them, but she tried to get up nonetheless, just like what he had ordered her to do, yet it was hard. It was beyond her strength.

“I can’t...” she started crying. She tried to push herself up once again, but she couldn’t do it. Her arms felt like they had almost been popped out of her shoulders.

She did regain her consciousness, but was trapped in this pain, which almost made her feel paralyzed. This frustrated her and Anne was afraid this man would leave her alone in this scary place.

Even though at this point Anne didn’t know who this man was, still she could see the concern in his dark blue eyes, something that she hadn’t seen for such a long time. So long, until she couldn’t recall the last time it happened.

“Do you want to come with me?” Chaos asked her again with that same tone, though he was drenched in this rain, he didn’t look a little bit cold. His face was so stoic, as if nothing could disturb his calmness.

“Yes...” Anne didn’t need to think twice about the answer. Anything, everything would be better than to be left alone in a dark alley like this, being left to die.

The thought made Anne cry even harder until her body started shaking.

.....

“I want to go with you, please take me...” she whimpered, crying and then trying to get up, but she couldn’t. She was not able to move her legs or push herself up.

If she could, she would even crawl just to follow this man.

“Don’t leave me to die alone here,” the little girl sobbed pitifully. She cried and her warm tears mixed with the cold raindrops. She was drenched, but fortunately her blood had stopped oozing out.

Chaos said nothing, but he didn’t move away from her either. He kept staring at her, until someone walked toward them from behind him.

“What are you doing here?” Knox came from behind Chaos and fell in the girl’s line of sight in the next second. He looked at the little girl and didn’t look impressed at all. He had the same amazing color of eyes like the first man.

“Carry her,” Chaos said in a low voice before he stood up and left, leaving the girl and this second man there.

“What?” Knox didn’t seem to be very pleased with the order. He frowned deeply and looked at the little girl with a disgusted look, since she was so dirty and ‘in a mess’. “Why?”

But, Knox’s question was faced with silence.

“Get up,” Knox said. “I don’t want to carry you.” He glared at the girl, as if by doing so, he could make her move her body and miraculously find some strength to walk.

Yet, the reality was not as easy as that.

In the end, the little girl ended up sobbing, crying even harder.

“Damn it,” Knox cursed under his breath when he bent down his body and scooped Anne into his arms before he took her away from this dark alley, from the impending death that was hovering above her head.

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

Anne felt like she had been sleeping forever when she finally opened her eyes and saw the IV needle attached to her left hand and the soft bed beneath her.

It was warm and clean, and the light from the afternoon sun streamed through a large window on her left side, where she found the man with long, black hair and wearing a black windbreaker, perusing a book in his hand.

Anne blinked her eyes a few times and tried to move her body, since she didn’t know what to call him. She didn’t even know his name. She just hoped he would realize that she was awake now.

Chaos put down the book in his hand and stood up when he saw Anne was awake and poured a glass of water for her.

He even held her body and rearranged the pillows behind her when he helped her to sit down, so she wouldn’t choke when she drank the water.

Anne gulped down, emptying the glass in no time, but then she coughed and Chaos rubbed her back slowly without saying anything.

“Who are you?” Anne asked when she finished coughing. She looked at Chaos with curiosity. She was still in disbelief that she was so lucky to be saved by someone at that point.

She thought her life would end over two sweet potatoes, but now she ended up in this beautiful room with a soft bed, a fluffy pillow and also a warm blanket covering her body.

“Why did you bring me here?” Anne asked him again.

She waited for his answer, but it was only silence that greeted her.

“Where are you going?” Anne asked again when she watched as the man stood up and left the room. She was alone there, but there were a few plates filled with various delicacies and Anne forgot about her question for him for a moment, as her hunger took over.

But then, she didn’t get the answer even when she asked Chaos again later, or a few years later or even a few decades later.

Even in her last breath, it was still a mystery.

Anne would never find out why Chaos brought her with him or even cared about her.

She couldn’t even find the answer as to how Chaos knew her name right away that fateful night. He never said anything about it and would never give her the answer.
