Untamed: The Alpha

432 REMINISCING

July left her alone in her own bedroom, as she made Zuri promise to have dinner together.

‘I will drag you out of the bedroom, if you do not come to the dining table.’ That was what she said before she hugged her again and then closed the door, leaving Zuri alone so that she could have the rest she needed.

This room indeed held a lot of nostalgic memories for her and July was true to her words when she said she didn’t allow anyone to change anything or to move something in this room, every single one of her belongings were in the exact same place as when she left this manor years ago.

How time flew very fast...

It had been almost fifteen years and Zuri was no longer a little girl, who would wait for Chaos in the library room, because that was the only part of this manor where he tended to appear often.

She was no longer an eight year old child, who would wait for Ann to tell her story before she fell asleep, or having Nikolai as her friend at school either. Oh, how could she forget how Gael used to tease her. But, she didn’t even know where that man was now...

The last time she met him was at Ann’s funeral and he left to get his daughter back. Did he manage to do that? What about Lise? The woman that was always with him? Did they manage to find their daughter?

In the past, she tended to be annoyed when Gael teased her, but right now, she wouldn’t mind even if he wanted to continue to treat her that way. She missed those days when everything was not this chaotic.

When everything looked very calm and peaceful compared to how the situation was right now.

.....

Zuri ran her fingers on the surface of the table, as she looked at the few pictures that Ann insisted for her to take.

“You are right Ann, this is indeed a good memory.” Zuri talked to herself, as she picked up a picture of herself and Ann, where the old lady hugged her so tight, while her little self was glaring at the camera, irritated because it was the nth time she did that.

Ann always took pictures of her because she said she wanted her to have something that would help her to reminisce about the good times. When you felt down, you would remember that there were good memories and she could always create one.

Good thing July immediately took over the McKeltar manor, so all of these memories were saved here.

After that, Zuri changed her clothes and then lay down on her bed. She still had a few more hours before dinner time and she was sure that she wouldn’t be late for that, so there was no way July would be upset with her.

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

“Chaos!” Skylar threw herself at him, but she couldn’t accomplish her goal of touching him, as Chaos walked across the room, completely ignoring her advances.

They were in the library room, where they gathered together. Norbeat, Skylar and Knox.

Knox didn’t look well, his expression was a little bit off, as if he was in pain. Maybe because there was something wrong with Chaos as well, since Knox had a big chunk of his shattered soul, thus he could feel what Chaos felt as well. He could be said to be the strongest among the other shattered souls that Chaos had encountered.

“Why are you so cold?” Skylar looked at Chaos grimly. The last time she saw him was when that little, white haired bitch clawed her face. She had not yet made her pay for that, but she knew that Zuri was here, it was only a matter of time before she got her revenge on her.

“Sit,” Knox said sternly to Skylar. He was having a headache with this woman. Because not only with him, but she also looked for a fight with July constantly and whenever they wanted to kick her out, she would disappear, making her existence unknown, until they cooled off and then repeated the same thing again.

Especially when Skylar was around the witch, who was none other than her step sister, who she had never gotten along with.

Meanwhile, when all that shit went down, Norbeat didn’t exactly help, as he kept grumbling about his appearance and wanted to take the body of one of the shifters here.

However, Knox made it very clear to the soul possessor, that if he took another creature’s or human’s body from this place, those people, who he protected, wouldn’t think twice before locking him up. They would not let anyone get close to him. He could be starved to death for all he cared.

Chaos could collect his shattered soul from him when he returned, from his dead body.

Of course, the soul possessor didn’t have the guts to say otherwise.

“What happened to Killian?” Chaos asked, as he sat down at the head of the table. Knox sat on his right side while Norbeat sat on his left side. Skylar took a seat next to Knox.

She didn’t like either of them, but if she could choose, of course, Knox was way better than the former.

“The humans managed to tame him down,” Skylar reported.

“How?” Chaos asked with a frown. It was not an easy feat to tame a dragon, especially when it was humans, who managed to do so. How advanced were their technologies to achieve that?

Though it was not a common occurrence, there was a time when Killian lost control and no one could calm him down, except Chaos or Knox.

“The country has been closed in order to cage the dragon in.” Knox had been trying to figure out what was happening there, but it was hard to enter the country, as they were on high alert with the strict protection from the Hound and the Delta.

East Draghar seemed to have handed their country on a silver platter to the Artzees country.
