Untamed: The Alpha

241 YOU DON’T NEED TO FIGHT

Chaos and Zuri had been in the East Draghar country for more than three years now and they had traveled almost all the cities in this country, leaving Artzees country in their civil war against the supernatural creatures, while the East Draghar and the West Draghar that flanked the poor country had closed the borders, in fear the non-human beings would trespass into their own country.

Little did they know that the supernatural creatures had been residing in their country just like humans for centuries and it didn’t need a great effort for some of the supernatural creatures to trespass the border, just like what Chaos did.

No one would have thought that Chaos and Zuri were actually non-human beings. They looked like a young couple that traveled together in their honeymoon phase, although neither Zuri nor Chaos thought that way.

“Give me your hands,” Chaos said, as he knelt in front of Zuri, with his left hand outstretched for her to take.

The girl stretched out her hands and let him warm her up. The moment his skin touched hers, warmth spread to her body immediately.

In no time, her cheeks flushed red and she was no longer shivering. Great. This was one of the reasons why Zuri didn’t really like to come to the East Draghar country. This place was too cold, even in the summer, the temperatures would be even lower than that of the Artzees Country.

“Did you find the thing that you were looking for?” Zuri asked, while Chaos was still holding her hands, who then lifted his head and looked Zuri right in the eyes.

“Almost,” he said succinctly. “Get up, we need to go,” he said.

Zuri grumbled, but Chaos had already pulled her up and she didn’t have any other choice, since it would be hard to struggle against him.

.....

“I am hungry,” she said sheepishly. “Can we go to a warm place?”

Chaos didn’t reply to that request, but Zuri felt this familiar sensation again when the road that was covered with snow and the trees behind her started fading away.

The road side was so quiet, until you could hear the wind that rattled the branches of the trees, but in a matter of seconds the serenity was gone, it was replaced by the noisy sounds of the car engines and people chatting around them.

Right, Chaos just teleported them to the middle of a busy city, where people walked hurriedly and chatted away on their phones or with their friends.

Zuri didn’t want to complain, but she hated people, not because of the war between the two kinds, but because they were too noisy for her liking, most of them.

“Can you smell it?” Chaos asked. This would be the first question that he would ask Zuri whenever they arrived in a new place and Zuri knew exactly what ‘it’ meant.

She lifted her head and closed her eyes to find the scent that she was very familiar with. She felt like she would be able to find this scent from even across the city, if the air around them hadn’t been full of exhaust gasses and other scents.

“Over here.” Zuri turned to her left, but Chaos pushed her behind him as there were a lot of people there and it went without saying she would bump into them.

Zuri didn’t like being so close to people or any other being, since it would make her feel horrible, but over the time, she managed to overcome it, though she still preferred to not have any contact.

Men around them would stare at Zuri’s white hair and then shift their attention to Chaos, who had long dark hair, which was tied neatly behind his nape, as he wore a dark sweater and a pair of pants in the same color.

Meanwhile, the women wouldn’t spare a glance at Zuri, as their eyes would be glued to Chaos. They would stop in their tracks and turn around to take a glimpse of his broad back, especially now when the soft glowing sun was below the horizon, which brought about a dreamy look to this man.

Zur had to admit that Chaos looked like he just walked out straight from a beautiful painting.

“Why are your shattered souls always in places like this?” Zuri muttered to herself when she stopped in front of a night club. Most of the time, she would find the shattered souls in these kinds of places.

Chaos said nothing and took Zuri’s hand when he walked toward a bouncer and the man stopped him. “Show me her ID,” he said in a rough tone. However, it didn’t even take two seconds before he spoke again, “There are free drinks tonight, enjoy.”

Zuri was not surprised at all when she saw this sudden change. The same happened every single time. Even when she was underage and had to come to this kind of place, she would pass without any effort.

On the other hand, Chaos’ grip on her wrist tightened when he saw how crowded this place was. He put Zuri behind him as he made the people part to give him a way. He headed toward a table at the corner.

There were two couples there, making out when Chaos all of a sudden approached them and startled the four young people.

“What the hell are you doing!?” One of the men, startled, cursed at Chaos, while the girl in his arms was already smittened by Chaos.

“Move.” That was only a word, but it was enough to make them all stand up and leave the table without saying anything.

Zuri always thought how easy it was for someone like Chaos to live in the world, where everything went according to your will.

“Which one?” Chaos asked, after both of them sat down at the table. From this spot, Zuri could almost see the entire place and everyone there.

“A moment,” she mumbled, as she skimmed the entire place briefly and found a bald man with tattoos all over his body, sitting at a different corner, surrounded by a bunch of people with sexy women flanking his left and right side. He smiled and laughed joyfully, as the two women stroked his pride, whispering something into his ears. “That one.”

After Chaos caught sight of the man that Zuri mentioned, he stood up. “Stay here.” Chaos would always say so, though he already knew that Zuri wouldn’t go anywhere.

“I am hungry,” Zuri protested. She had already said this earlier.

“I will ask someone to bring you food,” he said lightly and caressed her head, as if he was petting a puppy, and then walked away, leaving Zuri there, waiting for him to finish his own business.

“Sounds great,” Zuri said languidly, feeling her head throb painfully with the loud music around her and how people cheerfully danced away, moving their bodies while laughing hysterically.

She knew what she was doing and what Chaos would do or what kind of fate that the man would face.

However, Chaos had shown her what kind of destruction that a shattered soul of his could do if he didn’t end them up. After all, they were his souls, destruction was part of them and it was in their nature.

It took Zuri two full years to get used to it and in the end, she reached a point where she felt numb about these things and was no longer guilty for helping ending their lives, since she had seen what kind of deaths that they would cause to the innocent.

However, sometimes, Zuri would think about Nikolai...

“Your drink.” A man in white and black uniform approached Zuri, putting down a bottle of Cognac and a plate of peanuts.

Seeing that, Zuri really wanted to cry. She was hungry. She wanted to be fed, not get drunk. Moreover, Cognac was Chaos’ thing, not hers!

“Bring me all the food on today’s menu,” she ordered grimly.

Chaos was indeed an abomination creature. This was the same drink that he had ordered for her when they went to a city near the frozen lake when she was only eight.

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

Emily waved her hand from afar. She looked so bright with the glimmer of the twilight behind her, as she ran toward Eros, who had just finished his training.

A few young warriors, who had just finished training with Eros, growled low when they saw Emily and snickered, but one dead glare from Eros was enough to make them pretend that they didn’t see the little girl at all.

This was one thing that they couldn’t understand. Why were they so afraid of this young boy? The aura that emanated from him was simply terrifying when they got such glare from him.

“Eros.” Emily came to him and sat down next to him.

“You shouldn’t go out,” Eros said lightly, as he adjusted the gray shawl around her neck.

“I don’t want to stay inside my room all day doing nothing, I am fine now,” Emily said cheerfully.

Eros could see that she was feeling better, thus he said nothing and offered her his drink bottle, which she rejected.

“Why don’t we leave this place? We don’t need to go to Lucinda City, but we can go somewhere. Anywhere. You don’t have to fight,” Emily whispered to Eros once it was only the two of them, afraid someone would listen. They were sitting on a bench, on the sidelines of the training grounds.

Eros turned his head and looked at the small and fragile little girl beside him. He had grown taller and the top of Emily’s head only reached his shoulder.
