Untamed: The Alpha

384 DO YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL?!

Chaos found the place quite familiar, especially the tree. He remembered vividly about the tree, but his memories were a little bit clouded, because he didn’t think he had been here before, or maybe he did?

“How did we end up here?” The last thing that he remembered was the night when he showed Zuri his realm. The realm that belonged to him, a place that only he could enter.

The realm that looked like this one, notably the tree. This tree almost looked the same as the one in his realm, but of course, the two trees were different. He would know if they were the same. The feeling was not quite right...

“You don’t remember?” Zuri was surprised to learn about this, especially when Chaos confirmed that he didn’t remember what had happened.

Chaos looked up, as he was kneeling down in front of Zuri, who was sitting on the protruding root. “What actually happened?” he asked for an explanation. His expression became very serious and he looked at Zuri sharply, as if he was trying to see if she was trying to hide something.

From the looks of it, Chaos had assumed the worst.

Zuri was reluctant to recite what had happened in the Kalee city, but then, she couldn’t avoid his question. She needed to answer that.

Therefore, she spent the next twenty minutes explaining about the dragon and what had happened in the Kalee city and also how that city had been burned down because of that beast.

Yet, Zuri skipped the fact that she met with the teenager. The one with blue eyes. The young man, who was none other than Chaos’ shattered soul, and also her...

.....

“You skipped a few things, didn’t you?” Chaos asked when Zuri finished with her explanation. “You aren’t telling me the whole story.”

“I have told you everything,” Zuri said. She was trying to keep a straight face. She was not an expert at lying, but then she was not that na?ve to not be able to lie either.

Living in the Shadow Moon pack definitely helped Zuri develop skills that she needed to survive in this realm, even though the price that Zuri had to pay for that had been too high.

Yet, she was still unable to lie in front of Chaos. His dark eyes seemed to be able to see through her and her lies when she said there was nothing more to it.

“Did I do something horrendous to you?” Chaos asked her, his expression turned very cold, as he put his hands on both sides of Zuri’s body.

However, when Zuri didn’t answer him and was trying to find another way to lie to him about what had happened, he changed his question into a statement.

“I did something to you, right?” Chaos then took Zuri’s hands in his. He was still kneeling down in front of her. His dark and long hair fluttered in the wind and Zuri couldn’t look him in the eyes when she admitted.

“You tried to kill me,” she said finally, since she knew there was no way she could change the topic now. Chaos wouldn’t allow her to drop the subject, no matter how she tried to avoid answering his question.

A moment of silence passed between them. The tension was so thick, Zuri felt the air become very heavy for her to breathe.

She didn’t know how long had passed until Chaos finally spoke again, but he didn’t sound angry or tense, he was so calm, yet it didn’t sit well with her.

“You did what I told you to do, right?” Chaos asked her. “You used the sword I gave you, right?”

Zuri didn’t know why, but she felt her throat become so dry, as if there was a stone that she was trying to swallow. Her eyes stung as tears started to form. She gritted her teeth in her attempt not to let any sobs escape her lips, but it was a futile attempt.

Once a tear rolled down her cheek, Chaos pulled her so close to him, she burst into tears.

Her whole body was shaking so badly, while she hugged him even tighter, as if she didn’t do that, Chaos would disappear from before her eyes and she wouldn’t be able to see him again.

At first, it was only a soft sob, but then it didn’t take so long before she started to whimper and bawled her eyes out.

Zuri didn’t want to relive that moment again, the moment when she had to choose between saving herself and killing him. She remembered the feel of the hilt of the sword in her grip, and the desperate feeling when she had to stab him in his heart. The feeling when the sword pierced through his body...

On the other hand, Chaos held her silently, he caressed her back, her head, her hair, but there was nothing he could do to alleviate her pain and guilt.

“You have done the right thing, Blue,” Chaos said.

However, Zuri shook her head. She didn’t want to hear that. If Chaos thought that kind of reassurance could make her feel better, then he was completely wrong about that.

“You have done the right thing,” Chaos consoled her, but Blue kept shaking her head. She didn’t want to hear that word anymore. How could he say that so proudly, as if she had done something that was worthy of such praise?

“I DON’T WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING!” Zuri snapped. She pushed Chaos so hard, but she couldn’t free herself, until Chaos released her body.

Once she was free, Zuri stood up and looked down at Chaos, who was still in a kneeling position. He looked so calm, while Zuri felt so many raging emotions within her.

“I don’t want to do the right thing!” she repeated her words. “Do you know how I felt when I almost killed you?! Do you know how it feels?!”
