Untamed: The Alpha

431 WELCOME HOME, ZURI

Most of the creatures in this realm knew Chaos. How could they not know him when he wreaked havoc and unleashed catastrophes a few times which divided this country into two, where all the supernatural creatures could live in this city without a need to pretend or hide anymore from the humans?

Therefore, when Chaos and Zuri walked closer to the fortress, all the guards there were on high alert, as three of the guards came running to them.

Once they were in front of Chaos, they lowered their heads and greeted the two of them solemnly.

“My Lord,” the shifters said and this made Zuri raise her brows. She didn’t know that they greeted Chaos that way, except for the soul possessor, Norbeat.

“Open the gates,” Chaos said calmly and the three of them immediately retreated as one of them proceeded to prepare a car for both of them. “They put spells around the gate.” He narrowed his eyes at the soft mist around this fortress.

However, Zuri couldn’t see anything, even so she didn’t doubt that at all.

Another car caught her attention, though. It was being prepared as well, and she thought a few shifters would follow them inside in that car, until she saw a man walking out of a tent. He looked battered and exhausted.

Therefore, there was no way that this man was one of the guards. He must be an outsider.

“Who is that man?” Zuri asked before she got into the car, while Chaos was still standing in front of the gates, as if he was trying to discern what kinds of spells that protected this place.

.....

“Oh, this man is named Darius. He came from the Shadow Moon pack and it seems he is being chased out of that pack,” the guard told her.

“Shadow Moon pack?” Zuri narrowed her eyes, as she watched the man enter the car. Their eyes met for a brief moment right before he closed the door and then the car drove away.

“Yes,” the guard replied, looking at Zuri’s expression. “Do you know him by any chance?”

Zuri didn’t answer him, as she smiled softly at him and then entered the car, waiting for Chaos to join her, while deep in thought.

She didn’t really remember him, maybe because they had never gone on a mission together. But if this man named Darius indeed came from the Shadow Moon pack, then she must have known him at some point.

The problem was; there were a lot of warriors in the Shadow Moon pack. That pack was, literally, two packs merged into one. Around thirty percent of the members of the pack were branded as omegas, and they were from her uncle’s pack.

Therefore, Zuri couldn’t say that she didn’t know him, but maybe they met a few times, only they didn’t really notice each other.

“What is it?” Zuri asked when Chaos entered the car with a frown. “Something is wrong?”

“Nothing,” he said grimly. “Knox just pissed me off.”

Zuri raised her brows when she heard that. How could a man, who was not even here, piss him off?

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

“ZURI!” July rushed toward her and hugged her so tight, she almost knocked her down and made her fall on her butt, if it was not for Chaos, who held her back and steadied her. “OH, LOOK AT YOU! YOU LOOK SO AMAZING!”

It had been a long time since she met July. They didn’t even make phone calls during that long period of time, until she forgot this woman could be very erratic and energetic.

“I know I am beautiful, can you let me go for a second, please?” Zuri patted her back, to let her know that she was suffocating her, longer than this she would pass out there and then.

July laughed and released her, but she didn’t let her go, as she hugged her arm now instead. “You should have let me know that you were coming. I could have prepared something for you. Come, I will show you your room.”

July didn’t even greet Chaos. She acted as if that man was not there, as if he was invisible in her eyes.

“Don’t you want to say something to Chaos?” Zuri asked, while Chaos could only frown as his woman was being taken away.

Hearing that, July tilted her head and then gave Chaos a glaring look, as she said coldly. “Don’t take Knox away again.”

That was all she wanted to say to Chaos, more than that, she didn’t have anything to talk to him about. They were simply not on the same page, the two of them were simply on two different wavelengths.

Meanwhile, Zuri could only follow July, as she dragged her away from Chaos. She led her down corridor after corridor, which she was familiar with, hearing the cracking sound of the wooden boards that she didn’t think she missed so much, or walking through the garden that brought back so many memories.

“Here is your bedroom,” July said, as she opened the door and spoke proudly about it. “I have people to clean this up from time to time, but not a single thing has been moved from here.”

Zuri looked into the bedroom and smiled a little, because this bedroom was too childish for her age right now.

Seeing the look in Zuri’s eyes, July knew what was in her mind, as she giggled. “I think you still haven’t outgrown your bed yet.”

The bed was so big for her when she was a child. She was in awe of having such a big and comfy bed the first time Ann let her know this was her bedroom, but right now, it was just the right size for her.

“Yeah, I think at the very least, I can have a good night’s sleep,” Zuri chuckled.

July looked at her fondly. “Welcome home, Zuri.”
