Untamed: The Alpha

380 THE PATTERN

His soul was shattered into hundreds of pieces, and each of it would latch onto a living thing in this mortal realm. Whether they were supernatural creatures or just simply human beings... They were all supposed to look for the nymph’s soul.

“Did he manage to find the nymph’s soul?” Zuri asked Selene, as they were sitting under the ancient tree. Its roots were protruding from beneath the ground. Chaos was asleep on her lap. The goddess of the moon was standing before her.

They were on this vast land, where Chaos took the nymph for the first time. He watched how happy she was to learn new things around her, to see how she was smiling so freely, which in turn helped his soul be at ease.

After the chaotic event with the dragon in the Kalee city, Selene took Zuri and Chaos here, to this exact place.

To the place that belonged to Chaos, the place where he felt at peace when he saw the nymph was so elated by the simplest of things around her.

To the place that Chaos wanted to take her time and again, but there hadn’t even been a second time for them to be here.

Yet, Zuri didn’t remember at all about this place, not even a tiny recollection of it.

“Yes, he managed to find the nymph’s soul,” Selene replied to her. She told Zuri about this story, just like how she told the nymph all the stories that she would listen to attentively, so long ago.

“And what happened?” Zuri could see the end of it was not something that she would look forward to based on the expression on the moon goddess. Every romance book would not have a happy ending after all.

.....

“He was banished from the immortal realm.” Selene looked at Chaos, yet Zuri couldn’t read what emotions that ran through her when she was staring at Chaos like that. She was not able to know what kind of emotions that the goddess felt when she told her the story either. She couldn’t even figure out what her motivation to tell her all of this was.

“What happened to the nymph?” Zuri asked again. She looked down at Chaos, who was still sleeping soundly. His long and dark hair splayed on her lap and the ground beneath them, while she leaned her back against the ancient tree.

Chaos was tired and he needed to rest, and Zuri would be here for him.

“The nymph survived, but she is not able to see him again, because they lived in different realms.” Selene looked around her. “This is the place they met for the last time.”

This was the place where Blue had fallen asleep while Chaos told her a story. He cradled her in his arms and went back to the palace, but when the nymph woke up, Chaos was nowhere to be seen.

And after what had happened, they couldn’t meet with each other and there had been no chance for them to meet again.

Zuri scoffed when she heard that. “What was the point of all that fuss then?” Why did they have to go through unnecessary trouble just because that bastard devil named Aaron. But in the end, they were not even together?

“The nymph begged me,” Selene said. “She begged me to let her meet him, she was howling in pain, begging to see him again.”

“Did you grant her wish?” Zuri looked up to the sky and watched how beautiful the moon was against the dark night sky. The wind was so cold, but she felt exceptionally warm with Chaos close to her.

“Yes.” The moon goddess smiled sadly, just like before, making her think this was another ending that she didn’t want to hear. “But there will always be consequences for everything.”

Zuri fixed her eyes on the moon goddess, waiting for her next words. She was so beautiful and her body emanated warm light, yet there was something powerful that she could sense from her.

“She can be with Chaos, but she will lose all of their memories.” Selene saw how lonely Chaos was in the mortal realm when every single soul feared him for what he had done to the kingdom, words spread so fast as if the wind helped carry them and every single soul avoided him.

He missed his nymph.

“The wolf. The white wolf, the first shifter,” Zuri said. “The nymph turned into the first shifter. The wolf that accompanied Chaos.”

Selene smiled softly when she heard that. “Yes. It was her.”

“But, why didn’t he remember about his life before he lived in the mortal realm? Was it because he too lost his memories about that?” Zuri was curious about this. Chaos had never mentioned anything about it.

“He forgot. That was how an immortal could continue living in the mortal realm. There would be times when they forgot about something that happened so long ago,” the moon goddess explained this.

For a moment, Zuri remembered what Anne had told her, the part where Chaos even forgot what the cause of his soul being shattered was. He just remembered that he needed to find all his shattered souls, without realizing what the cause of it was.

“And once again, Chaos traded his souls to have his companion back when he lost her for the second time.”

“Yes, I remembered that, the villagers killed the wolf because they couldn’t hurt Chaos.” Zuri remembered that part of the story. Chaos had shown her before this. “What a tragic ending for both of them...”

At this point, Zuri realized that she was the nymph in the story, the first shifter that accompanied Chaos in his life in the mortal realm and now, here she was...

Selene didn’t say anything for a little while, until Zuri thought she had disappeared. She hastily lifted her head, only to find the moon goddess staring at her.

“Can’t you see the pattern of how all of this is happening and how all of this will end?”
