Untamed: The Alpha

487 I KNOW

Zuri was shocked to see Chaos was right behind the door, especially when she didn’t realize it sooner, since Eros’s scent was very similar to Chaos’s.

And somehow, she felt like a girl, who was being caught cheating on her significant other, especially when she couldn’t control her expression.

Chaos’s blue eyes fell on Eros and this made Zuri’s heart skipped a beat, her throat parched and she became extremely nervous. The distinguish sign was there. The blue eyes that Eros had would give away his identity.

“Let’s go back to our room.” Zuri tugged on his jacket impatiently, but he didn’t budge.

Chaos fixed his eyes on Eros and this was scary to see that he started to notice something. He must have noticed that, right?

On the other hand, Eros didn’t show any sign that he would back down from this blatant challenge, he crossed his arms and reciprocated Chaos’s harsh stare with his own.

If there was a few shattered souls that didn’t represent Chaos at all, then there was a handful that exactly like him and didn’t know what danger that would befall upon them, they only knew not to back down.

“There is an attack before this, have you heard that?” Zuri tried to distract Chaos’s attention from Eros. “I was being attacked too.” She hoped the last words would draw his attention toward her and fortunately, she was right.

“Are you hurt somewhere?” Chaos shifted his attention toward Zuri and then gave a brief check on her.

.....

“I am fine, there is nothing serious, but I need to change my clothes. This is Gael’s shirt.” Zuri pointed at the loose shirt that she was wearing.

Chaos would have known that was Gael’s shirt from the scent of it, but Zuri wanted to make sure again that he wouldn’t think this was Eros’s shirt.

Hearing that, Chaos was contemplated for a while, before he scooped Zuri in his arms and carried her away. There was no word for Eros when they left him there alone.

Along the way to their bedroom, Chaos didn’t say anything, while Zuri buried her face against his neck, she didn’t bid Eros farewell, she didn’t even dare to steal a glance at the young lycan, since it was pretty clear Chaos was displeased by his existence.

For the corridor took so long and their bedroom was too far for Chaos, in a blink of an eye, he made them both were already inside their bedroom and then their bathroom.

Chaos set her down on the bath up and then took off her shirt, as he tossed it aside.

On the other hand, Zuri was surprised by his sudden move and was still a little bit dizzy because they changed places too fast. She didn’t even have time to complain when he took off her shirt and left her naked there.

“Chaos.” Zuri was about to protest, but then she stopped herself when Chaos threw her a look. He neither angry, nor he was upset. He looked calm, but that was the most terrifying side of him.

After he left Zuri naked inside the bath up, he went to take a hand shower, as he adjusted the temperature, so it would lukewarm for her.

“What are you doing?” Zuri was speechless when Chaos sprayed it on her, the temperature of the water was right and she felt her stiffened muscle relax, but still this took her by surprise. “Are you going to bath me?”

“Yes,” Chaos replied curtly and then took shampoo, which he poured down on her head. “Don’t move, your body reeked of another man else’s scent.”

“This is Gael’s scent,” Zuri complained.

Chaos growled. Did that make any different if that was Gael’s? But, that was not only it. “There is another man’s scent too.”

Zuri clamped her mouth, but then she muttered under her breath. “No way, I fought a beast earlier.”

Chaos was silent for a while and then nodded. “Yes, that too.”

“I can bath by myself, you don’t have to, you will get wet if you insisted.” Despite that was what she said, Zuri closed her eyes, enjoying the massaged that Chaos gave when he washed her hair. She folded her arms on the edge of the bath up and then rested her head, while Chaos took care of her.

“It’s okay,” Chaos replied simply. He didn’t put so much pressure on her and let her relax, but what he said was true.

There were a lot of mixed scent on her and he didn’t like it, especially when he saw her in another man’s shirt, even though it was Gael, but it was too much.

“Who is that man?” Chaos suddenly blurted out and he could see how Zuri visibly stiffened with the mention of that man.

“Who?” Zuri was trying to act fool, but both of them knew it was a pathetic attempt from her. “Oh, do you mean the man that was with me in the emergency stairs?”

Chaos was silence, but it was enough to answer that question.

“He is one of the guests in this hotel and the attacker seemed to have unfinished business with him and his friends.” Zuri then told Chaos everything about the attacker, she didn’t leave a single detail out when she fought them, after all, she didn’t lie, that was true.

But, she took a good time to emphasize about Emily and how awesome that girl, also the fact that she was with Eros. She didn’t know why she did this when she had not done anything wrong, but somehow she was guilt ridden.

During that time, Chaos listened to her in silence, while attend to her and wash her hair clean, before he filled the bath up with warm water, so she could dip in soapy water. It seemed, Chaos was determined to get rid of all unpleasant scent from her body.

However, once Zuri finished her, very detail story about what happened, Chaos asked a single question that she didn’t think at all.

“Why are you there?” Chaos looked at her dead in the eyes when he asked it, as if he had his assumption and he needed to make sure about it with her. “You don’t have business to be in the fourth floor.”

Yes, she supposed not to be there, but her feet brought her toward the fourth floor when her mind was at mess to think about this ridiculous mate bond. She didn’t even realize it that she walked toward his bedroom, until she found him there.

Of course, Zuri knew about which room he stayed, since she asked about his detail in the receptionist.

“I…” Zuri stumbled to find a word, her mind worked so fast, yet she couldn’t come up with something. “I was… I wanted to…”

Chaos sighed, which made Zuri became even more tensed, but then he washed her face with the warm water, so she could stop staring at him fearfully like that.

“If you don’t want to tell me, don’t. I will understand.” Chaos rubbed his thumbs against her soft cheeks and then leaned over to kiss her. it was a brief peck, but Zuri felt like she was about to cry. “Don’t lie to me. If you can’t tell me, don’t tell me, but don’t lie to me.”

His words were very soft and this brought tears to Zuri’s eyes. She remembered how she was so close to kiss someone else, how she was so close to touch another man inappropriately.

How her heart ached for Eros and her uncalled jealousy toward another girl, when he was not even the person that she loved.

It was Chaos. It was always him. He was the only one, who had been there for her. He was the only person that she would wait for.

But, how could her heart beat for someone else? That was beyond her… and why with this mate bond when the only person that she wanted was Chaos. This was hardly her fault, but the guilty feeling, eating her alive.

Seeing how down she was, Chaos removed his clothes and then joined her in the bath up, he cuddled her in his arms, while he buried her face against his chest. Her long white hair smelled of her shampoo and this was better than the previous smell.

“I am sorry,” Zuri said in trembling voice. She didn’t think she could hold this back any longer, especially when he treated her so gentle like this. She was willing to do anything for him not to doubt her.

Chaos had doubt her resolve when he knew that her heart couldn’t take it when he took back his soul from young, innocent children or some people, who looked nothing like an evil person.

Zuri knew how it felt not to be with him, therefore, she was willing to do anything, even if it hurt her.

“You don’t have to be sorry,” Chaos replied, he caressed her back to calm her down. “This is not your fault.”

Hearing that, Zuri lifted her head, she looked at Chaos, trying to gauge her words. Did he know?

The question was on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn’t ask it, she was afraid, but then she remembered that it was not how she should act. She wanted him and only him.

However, before Zuri could say anything, Chaos had cut her off. “I know,” he said, as if answering the unspoken question.
