Untamed: The Alpha

245 I DON’T WANT TO LOSE YOU AGAIN

“I will not let you go through that, but I can not promise all the dark creatures will have the same intentions as me.” Aaron shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. He didn’t seem to put his interest in Chaos right now, since he couldn’t peel his attention from Zuri. “All the dark creatures will get a wind of this and they will be curious enough to see your little white wolf again.” He winked at Chaos and then disappeared.

On the other hand, Hades didn’t say anything, he was a neutral party, but he would love to escalate the situation from bad to worst if he could, since he would always be ecstatic to watch disaster and death unfold.

“Can I at least get a ‘thank you’ since I have warned you about Aaron?” Hades asked, gulping down his drink, but when he put down the empty glass the time around him started ticking again and the blazing sounds of music left the God of the underworld flinching, while Chaos and Zuri could no longer be seen.

People screamed when they saw the broken tables while people, who got injured, were panicking and confused as to what was happening, since it was so odd.

Their screams of panic were louder than the music itself.

Hades then jumped down from the bar table and shook his head. “Humans,” he mumbled in a mocking tone.

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

Today was the day of Atbikai. Emily couldn’t even close her eyes throughout the night, as she kept crying because she was not ready to face the next day.

But unfortunately, time didn’t wait for her to feel ready, nor until her tears dried when it was finally the time for Eros to head toward the arena, where people were already waiting for the fight there.

.....

“Eros,” Emily called him, as he changed his clothes into a white shirt and a pair of pants in the same color. The very color that symbolized the Atbikai fighters.

“I will not change my mind, Emily.” Eros cut her off before she could finish her sentence, since he knew what exactly Emily wanted to say to him.

He wore his shirt with his back facing her. They had been sharing the same room since the first time they came here and Alpha Liam couldn’t do anything to enforce kicking Emily out of the bedroom next to him.

Once he was done, Eros walked toward Emily and then knelt down in front of her. He had a lot of patience when it came to her, but the moment he decided on something, he wouldn’t budge, even if it was for her.

“You can stay here, or you can go with me,” Eros said, as this was the least he could do. If the fight would be too much for her to watch, she shouldn’t attend at all.

However, Emily shook her head, and gulped down hard. “I want to go,” she said. Her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders and she looked so fragile and vulnerable under her jacket. She looked paler than usual.

“Good. I want you to be there too,” Eros said. He wanted her to be there because he didn’t feel comfortable with her out of his sight. He wanted her to be in a place, where he could see her. “Let’s go now.”

Emily bit her lips, but she took Eros’ extended hand and then stood up. Tears fell on her cheeks when Eros caressed her head gently. The thing that he always did to soothe her in silence.

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

Zuri woke up when she felt someone caressing her cheeks. His warm hand felt so familiar and when she waited for the feelings of repulsion to come, it didn’t happen, which could only mean one thing, or one person.

Slowly, Zuri opened her eyes to find Chaos staring at her, his eyes were black and his lips pressed together into a thin line.

“Chaos? What happened?” Zuri asked, her voice was so weak and she felt very exhausted. She couldn’t remember what had happened, because the exhaustion was too much for her to handle, as if her brain was shutting down on her right now.

They were inside a beautiful and extravagant bedroom with floor to ceiling glass windows covering half of the room instead of walls. It was beautiful, especially when Zuri could see the sun peeking on the horizon and the sky was still dark.

However, in front of her, Chaos said nothing. He was being unusually silent. Not that kind of silence that could appease her, but the quiet that filled with tension and emotions.

Zuri stretched out her hand to touch him, but she only brushed his cheek with one finger, to feel his soft skin under her thumb.

“Something is wrong?” she asked again.

Zuri didn’t know where they were and what happened before, but as long as she could be with him, she thought everything was bearable.

Chaos still didn’t say anything, but he caught her hand and landed a soft kiss on the back of Zuri’s hand. She didn’t flinch. She was familiar with his touch. His touch brought safety and could calm her down, there was no repulsion there.

Zuri blinked her eyes and watched how the sun started to shun away the darkness. It shone brightly behind Chaos from the window glass in the background. It was a tranquil morning and Zuri hoped they could stay like this forever, that Chaos could stop the time so they didn’t need to be worried about anything else.

Slowly, Chaos lowered his body and leaned over to her, as he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and then dropped his lips down to the tip of her nose, placing a ginger peck there.

Zuri was surprised to see Chaos acting this way, but the anticipation was the thing that really killed her when his warm breath caressed her skin and his lips stopped only a few inches away from hers.

She was afraid that Chaos could hear how her heart was beating frantically. Probably he heard it already... but, Zuri could care less about that when his face came so close to hers and she could see his long eyelashes that fluttered when his eyes fixed on her lips.

Chaos moved painfully slow, giving her all the time she needed to move away from him, because he didn’t want to hurt her further, but the desire burned him from inside, it scorched his soul like the fire that had turned Fokosa city into dust.

He wanted her and Zuri didn’t know what to do with Chaos’ sudden change. He was so reserved when it came to physical contact with her. He wouldn’t even initiate anything.

However, this time was very different.

“Blue, I don’t want to lose you again,” he said. His voice was like a dull knife that stabbed into her heart. The sadness and longing in his tone was something outlandish that Zuri had never heard before.

Zuri didn’t know what he meant by that. She was here. He wouldn’t lose her...

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

“Why did you recruit my sister to be one of the scientists? What are you planning to do with her?” Once Nikolai figured out what happened with Vanesha and what these people probably wanted to do with her, he immediately came to Commander Sol to ask about this.

Nikolai was the best hunter in his year, so he got a prestigious position, which allowed him to see and talk to Sol like this. He had completed countless missions for him and fought alongside this commander after all.

Sol turned his head and then stopped walking. Both of them were in a corridor of the facility, where two scientists that watched this banter slowed down their pace.

However, the moment they caught Sol’s dangerous glare, they disappeared immediately from there.

“We are not in the battlefield and I am not your friend, mind your words,” Sol warned him and this made Nikolai realize his mistake.

He tried to tone down his voice and give the utmost respect that he could muster to his commander, but it was hard to do when the thought of what they might do to his sister came to his mind.

He wouldn’t allow them to turn Vanesha into an experimental object. He knew exactly what they had done to those poor creatures.

Nikolai killed the non-human beings out of duty and killed the humans, who apparently sided with the supernatural creatures when they fought back, but other than that, he didn’t have any personal grudge against them.

“What do you want to do to her, Sir?” He emphasized the word ‘Sir’, so he didn’t sound arrogant and provoke Sol any further.

Sol was radio silent for a moment before he spoke in a commanding tone, “Follow me.”

Nikolai didn’t know where Sol wanted to take him, but if he wanted to show him something related to Vanesha, it would be better than any explanation.

They turned at a corner and then entered the elevator that would take them down to the underground area, which was classified as a confidential part of this facility.

Nikolai had never been here before, but he kept silent and followed Sol. He received a few curious glances from the scientists there, but when they saw who he was with, they said nothing.

Sol finally pushed open a door and there, Nikolai saw Vanesha, sitting on a chair, talking to a girl behind a thick glass window. They were using the intercom to talk with each other.

The girl looked a few years younger than Vanesha. But she was chained.
