Untamed: The Alpha

July was surprised that he knew Knox was Chaos’ shattered soul. Of course, the entire realm knew about Chaos and what kind of calamity that he could bring, not to mention that he was the sole reason why this realm was divided into the human’s area and the supernatural creatures’.

However, not many people knew about the fact that Knox was actually Chaos’ shattered soul. “What can you do about it?” Who was he actually? July glanced at Ciara, who was standing not too far from her and bit her lips because she felt this man was kind of strange.

“I can do anything, as long as you make a deal with me.” Aaron gave her a harmless smile.

However, one should know better than to make a deal with a devil, because this seemingly harmless pact would suck you dry in the end and there was no way you would come alive out of this deal with the devil as a victor.

July didn’t accept the offer immediately, she looked at the man before her eyes, contemplating about the answer that she would give him, as she didn’t know it was the devil that she would pledge her loyalty to.

On the other hand, Aaron said nothing, he let her take her time to make this decision, because he had seen the desperation in July’s eyes and any kind of desperation would lead you to an impulsive decision, which would make you end up in a crappier situation.

“How do you want me to make a deal with you?” July asked.

“Can I take that as you agreeing to the deal?” Aaron asked her for the confirmation, because he wanted a solid answer to his offer.

.....

July bit her lips, she could feel this discomfort, but her feelings intensified by the days that she had to live on, knowing she would grow old. Probably, she was muddle headed right now, but there was a reason she was here, right?

And July decided to go through with it.

“Yes.”

The smile on Aaron’s face became brighter when he looked July right in the eyes and smirked in triumphant.

This sight sent chills down her spine...

“Great, we can start now. I will give you the little family that you want.”

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

“What is this place?” Zuri looked around her and saw this beautiful garden with many white flowers that surrounded her. Flowers that she had never seen before, well, to make it fair there were not many flowers that Zuri was aware of.

“My realm,” Chaos said calmly. He looked very relaxed now, probably this was the most tranquil version of him that Zuri had ever seen.

“Your realm?” Zuri’s eyes grew wider. She was surprised, because a moment ago she was flying under the night sky, but then Chaos wrapped his huge, black wings around them and now here they were.

This place was wonderfully beautiful, it gave you a feeling of mystery but made you feel safe at the same time. After all, this was the realm that Chaos created for himself.

“Yes,” Chaos said. He held her hand and walked through this garden, while the white flowers reached Zuri’s waist, and she could see a sea of flowers in front of her.

From the color of the sky, it was dusk, but no matter how long they walked, the sky never changed and the sun had never crossed the horizon. It was strange, but beautiful at the same time.

“What flower is this?” Zuri touched the flowers around her, it had small white petals in every stalk.

“Datura,” Chaos replied.

Zuri didn’t know where Chaos had brought her, but was that even a problem now? She had been following him all this time, so it was no longer a matter of where they were going but more of who she was going with.

Chaos slowed down and picked a handful of flowers, which he gave to her.

“Why did you take me to this place?” Zuri smiled to see these small flowers in her hand and looked up at him, waiting for his answer. She felt giddy and at peace, something that she had not felt for years now.

Chaos glanced at her. “I know you want to know more about me,” he said, which made Zuri go quiet.

Of course, she wanted to know more about Chaos, but she didn’t feel like she wanted to put him in pressure if he was not comfortable to talk about it. Moreover, no matter what kind of effort Zuri put in, if Chaos chose to clamp his mouth shut, no one could make him do otherwise.

Therefore, all this while, Zuri had been trying to figure him out by paying close attention to small details around him.

“You never give me a chance to know you more.” Zuri played with the flower in her hand to put her attention somewhere else except on Chaos.

Now, they could see a big tree up the hill, seemingly, Chaos was leading them to that place.

“What if I show you instead?”

Zuri tilted her head and then found his blue eyes. His eyes were very clear, which indicated he was in complete control over himself.

Probably this was how this realm affected him. This was the safest place for him and he brought Zuri here. He bared not only himself to her, but also his world.

“What do you mean you will show me?” Zuri looked at him quizzically, but Chaos just smiled quietly and continued to walk up the hill, where the big tree was.

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

Emily talked to Eros on the phone, she told him about the incident a few days ago with Kyle and his friends and also a few girls, who picked on her in the corridor, but she assured him that she was fine, there was nothing to be worried about and how Jasmine helped her.

But she said nothing about skipping school. She had not attended any classes for this week and no one seemed to notice that. Probably they noticed it, but they were just glad that she was not around them, since their hatred toward her only curbed because Emily had Eros behind her.

“Are you sure you are fine?” Eros asked her in a deep voice, she could imagine what kind of look that he had right now.

“I am fine, don’t worry,” Emily said, while laughing a little bit. She couldn’t lie to him because he would be able to tell.

Eros became silent for a moment until Emily heard a notification on her phone and when she saw the screen, it was Eros, requesting for a video call.

Smiling, Emily accepted it.

“I told you, you don’t need to worry, I am fine,” Emily said immediately once she saw Eros’ face. She laid down on the bed and looked at him with sleepy eyes.

“Hm,” Eros mumbled, he looked closely to see if there was any injury on her, only when he saw there was nothing wrong with her, his tension was slightly dissipated. “Sleep well.”

Emilly yawned and snuggled into her blanket, wrapping herself in its warmth. “I hope you are here,” she said softly.

That was an innocent statement, because she used to have Eros close to her, but it wouldn’t be so innocent a few years from now.

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

“What do you want to show me?” Zuri asked Chaos once they reached the tree and they stood facing the sea of the white flowers below them. It looked breathtakingly beautiful and for a moment, Zuri was lost in her own thoughts.

Even the grass beneath them was the color of white, as if the soil was also made of the same color. It was only the dusk sky and these huge trees with light green leaves that canopied them, which had a different color from the rest of this white world.

Zuri had never been in such a beautiful and peaceful place like this. She really wanted to know why they couldn’t just live there and forget about everything...

“I want to show you this,” Chaos said in a gentle tone, as he turned her around to face him.

Zuri needed to tilt her head up to look him in the eyes because he was very tall. He looked so serene, as the wind played with his long, black hair.

“What?” Zuri bit her lips when her voice came out as a whisper and her heart beat so fast, when Chaos leaned over to kiss her cheek.

Zuri felt this warmth from the way he touched her and when she blinked her eyes, she saw this fraction of images, which only lasted for a few seconds. She was startled and took a step back, but Chaos held her waist and drew her closer to him.

“Be at ease,” he said as he kissed the top of her head. “I will show you what you want to know.”

Zuri could feel her mouth going dry. She believed in magic, but this was something different than what Chaos always did in front of her.

“Are you, okay?” Chaos caressed her cheeks and once again Zuri could see the fraction of images before her eyes, overlapping Chaos’ figure. “Can I continue now?”

It was weird, but Zuri knew that she wanted to know. It was not the time to show her hesitation when Chaos tried to make her understand.

“Yes.”
