Untamed: The Alpha

223 DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?

“Stop brooding and help me instead,” Gael whined when he came into Zuri’s room, bothering her with the task of asking Chaos to help him to get his daughter back, since Lucinda city was under lockdown.

The city was heavily guarded, since that was the place where all the survivors from Fokosa city and a few cities nearby that got impacted because of what Chaos had done, gathered around, seeking refuge.

Now, Artzees country was divided into three areas; first was Fokosa city, which became the supernatural creatures ‘forced’ habitat.

Second was the Lucinda city and a few cities nearby. In simple words, the place sheltered the base of The Hound’s facility as well as the human survivors.

And the third part was occupied by the Shadow Moon pack in the east, which was the largest pack in the east right now.

Liam was the alpha and Zuri had lived there for a few years before she managed to escape.

For now, everything seemed to have settled down, since every kind had their own territory. As for the McKeltars, no living soul was daring enough to cross this place and mess with the people there, though they were humans, knowing the three McKeltars were keeping their eyes on their people.

“You talk to him,” Zuri said. “Why are you bothering me?” she grabbed the pillow that Gael threw at her in time before it hit her face.

She couldn’t understand Gael at all.

.....

How could he act so normal whenever Lise was around and seemed reliable even, but turned out to be a figure of a bullying big brother when he talked to her.

This man was simply a living model of a paradox.

“No,” Gael grumbled. He sat down on the sofa in Zuri’s bedroom. “After seeing how he destroyed the entire city without even lifting a finger, I’m afraid of confronting him. He is scary.”

It had been a month since that fateful day and the world started to form new alliances, making new territories and everything seemed moving in the right way. However, everyone knew that this was only the calm before the storm.

Once one of the parties started to do something, everything would turn into chaos once again. They were walking on a layer of eggshells right now.

“Do you know where she is?” Zuri sat down on the opposite sofa and watched as Gael rubbed his face in frustration.

“The last thing I heard was; all the valuable experimental objects had been moved to the new headquarters of The Hound, which is in Lucinda city.” Gael growled when he mentioned ‘valuable experimental objects’. His eyes filled with anger whenever he thought that those nasty people treated his daughter as an object for their experiment.

“There is no way you can break the security there.”

“Obviously.”

“Unless you are Chaos and can burn the whole city.”

At that statement, Gael narrowed his eyes sharply at this young girl, who curled up on the sofa, looking all innocent after making such a comment.

“Are you trying to make me upset? That I am not as strong as Chaos?” he asked, looking at Zuri with wide eyes, as if he was hurt.

“But, that’s the truth.”

Gael breathed deeply. “Thank you for your honesty, but that’s not what I need.”

“Chaos is not here.”

“I know.”

“So, why are you bothering me?” Zuri was pissed. How could she talk to Chaos on Gael’s behalf if that person was not even there to listen to her? “Why don’t you ask Knox to come with you?”

“Did you forget? Chaos and Knox disappeared together. They didn’t even ask me to go with them,” Gael said sullenly, yet that was not the truth. There was no way he could deal with something else when he knew that his daughter was in danger.

Meanwhile, Chaos and Knox seemed to have their own important issues that needed to be dealt with. There were a lot of things that had been going on and much uncertainty, even among the supernatural creatures.

“So, what now?”

“Why don’t you come with me to Lucinda city?” Gael suggested. “If you come, I can assure you Chaos will appear to help you whenever you are in danger.”

Zuri snorted at that. “Do you want to say that you want me out there, in danger, as bait for Chaos to show up?”

Gael laughed when he got caught, but then his laugh died down when Zuri spoke again.

“Maybe next time Chaos will burn you down along with the city.”

“You still have this horrible personality,” Gael grimaced.

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

The night fell silently in the McKeltar manor, it was an uneventful week and everything seemed normal, as normal as it could be...

And that night, Anne found herself walking toward the library and saw Chaos standing in front of the fireplace, staring into the flames.

“Fire burns everything,” Anne said, as she approached Chaos. The man looked exactly the same as when she met him for the first time, when she was still a little child.

And now, her hair had turned white and her skin was full of wrinkles. She was getting old, but the man was not even touched by the time. He looked perfect.

How time flew very fast...

“It is a dangerous element,” Chaos replied without looking at Anne. The fire reflected perfectly in his eyes.

Silence ensued between them after that small conversation, but Anne had grown used to this silence and she looked relaxed when she was in his company.

Anne took a seat on the sofa beside Chaos, as she watched his back. His long hair was tied neatly behind his nape and it was so long until it touched his hip.

“Do you know what happened to Blue?” Anne asked after a long time of silence. “Something must have happened to her.”

Chaos didn’t answer that, but from the small gesture that he made, Anne knew what his answer would be.
