Untamed: The Alpha

496 LET’S GO HOME

The little girl was in awe when she saw Zuri’s white hair, even though she was wearing hoodie to cover her peculiar hair color, but lock of her hair still could be seen.

“I love your hair!” Rhea chirped, she jumped up and down, raising her short arms, asking Zuri to pick her up. “Up! Up! Momma, can I touch her hair?”

Instinctively, Zuri bent down her body and then picked her up in her arms. She was so light and her body smelled so good, she wanted to bury her face and breathe on her scent. The scent was so innocent and calming.

The affect was not the same like her mate’s scent or even Chaos, but somehow, she felt relief to be near this little girl. It brought calm to her wrecking nerves.

“You need to ask her permission first, little lady,” July said, nudging her soft cheek.

Hearing that, Rhea turned her head and stared at Zuri instead, her pleading eyes reminded Zuri of Chaos, but there was no hatred, anger or pain in those beautiful eyes. These blue eyes held such purity that she had never seen before this.

“Please…” she said childishly. “Can I touch your hair?” she raised her arms again and her hand open and close repeatedly, seemingly impatient to touch her hair.

Without saying anything, Zuri shook her head until her hoodie fell from her head, since she was holding her small body with both hands, because she was afraid this little girl would fall.

“Woah!” Rhea made noises when she touched Zuri’s hair, she smiled so brightly and this brought smile to her lips as well, she stared at the girl in her arms fondly.

.....

Was this how July felt when she held her own child? Was this the feeling that July desired when she was willing to throw everything away to have her? Her own flesh and blood…

Zuri gritted her teeth. There was this sharp pang in her heart when she realized, she wouldn’t have this kind of family with Chaos. She couldn’t have a child with him because it meant, another shattered soul was created to this realm.

This was one of the reasons why Chaos still couldn’t gather all of his soul yet even after centuries had passed.

And this little girl…

“Why don’t we go inside? You must be tired, let’s get to the house, so we can talk. There are a lot of things that I want to share with you!” Gael said cheerfully, after he saw how contrite Zuri’s expression was. She looked like someone had just informed her that the entire people that she knew had died.

“Sure, let’s go inside,” July said, as she took Rhea from Zuri’s arms, while Gael and Sebastian had walked ahead, they started to catch up with the recent news. From the look of it, Gael must have visited them often. “Are you, okay?” July asked, a little bit concern when she looked at Zuri’s expression.

“I am fine, only a little bit tired.” Zuri furrowed her brows when she saw Rhea was being carried away by July, she felt there was something missing in her arms. She wanted to be close to that little girl.

Zuri felt at lost when Rhea was taken away from her and in the end, she could only laugh at herself, what kind of feeling that she had for this little girl? This was their first time meeting each other and she was already fond of her.

After all, she was Chaos’s shattered soul and that was the complicated part…

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

“I think we can go back to the pack in this evening,” Emily said, as she checked on Colton. He was fine now, just a little bit tired.

“You don’t rush me because you don’t want to be here any longer, right?” Colton asked her in teasing tone. He knew that Zuri was Chaos’s mate and he could understand the anxiety that Emily had right now, even though Eros didn’t show it blatantly, but he couldn’t imagine to leave his own mate for someone else.

However, Eros and Emily had a long story together, which had created a strong bond between them.

“Of course, not,” Emily said hastily, flustered because of what he said. “I will not risk your health because of that.” Yet, despite that was what she said, she couldn’t meet Colton in the eyes, as she busied herself with her stuff.

“I know, I am just teasing you,” Colton said lightly, he thought of her as his little sister, since she hang out with his mate so often and how she praised how smart she was and talented with the herb and medicine.

“So, we can go this evening, right?” Emily said casually, she wanted to make sure if they could go away from this place as soon as possible, she didn’t want Eros and Zuri under the same rooftop for a second longer. “I mean, if we can go this evening, I need to pack our stuff.”

That was a good reason, though packing their stuff would only take less than an hour, thus she didn’t need to be in hurry for that.

“Sure, let’s go back this evening.” Colton laid down on his bed after he drank the medicine. “I miss my mate too. I want to see her as soon as possible.”

Hearing that, Emily looked very satisfied, she was smiling and grinning, as she walked out of the bedroom and found Eros was receiving a call from the alpha.

She waited until he finished that call and informed him that they would return this evening, she gauged his expression closely, wanting to see whether there was a sadness or disappointment when she said this, since he had to leave his mate.

Yet, Emily saw nothing and somehow, this made her very happy and without she realizing it, she had hugged him. “Let’s go home.”
