Untamed: The Alpha

309 THEIR SECOND ENCOUNTER

Killian was bored to death. He would usually go to the bar every night, screw some people, initiate fights to lose some tension or hunt Chaos’ shattered souls if he was in the mood.

Therefore, to stay at home and look after a little boy and a young girl, made him feel like a babysitter. Of course, this was something that he couldn’t stand.

“I am sure you are old enough to go to the bar. Since we are here, why don’t we go somewhere fun? It is a little bit boring here, right?” he suggested to Zuri.

Yes, yes. He knew that he was supposed to keep Zuri out of trouble, but what trouble could she possibly get into when they went to a bar? Fighting? This girl could claw anyone who bothered her like Skylar did and Killian would love to finish the rest of the fight.

If someone flirted with her? Hm, from what Killian saw, this girl was really infatuated with Chaos. A mere human boy couldn’t possibly pique her interest.

“Where?” Zuri asked. She was bored as well. Knox stayed with Chaos longer than she thought and he would shoo her away whenever she entered the room because he needed to concentrate.

Well, if this was related to Chaos and something that could help him, Zuri didn’t mind taking a step aside. Moreover, Chaos was safer with Knox by his side.

“To Neon Night bar.” Killian was a regular there and it had been a while since the last time he went over.

“I would love to go,” Norbeat said happily. His ears perked up when he heard that. He had been tired of living as a sweet little boy whose cheeks would always be pinched by people. That was simply an insult to him.

.....

“No children allowed.” Killian smirked at the little boy. “What do you think that place is?”

“I am not a little boy!” Norbeat stood up. He wanted to look more intimidating, but his height failed him miserably, because even though Killian was sitting on the sofa, he couldn’t even reach his chest, let alone his head.

This made Killian laugh hard. “I can’t see that. Kids are not allowed.”

Norbeat was not happy to hear that and kicked Killian’s feet. He growled deeply, yet the sound of it only made him sound a little bit cute for him to threaten someone else.

“Go away boy, you are not invited, go sleep and study.” Killian flicked Norbeat’s forehead and literally kicked him on the butt when he turned him around. “Let’s go, girl. Let’s party.”

“Will Knox be okay with it?” Zuri looked up to the second floor.

“He occupied him for a whole day and I am sure he will occupy him for the rest of the night. What are you going to do about that? Sitting here and boring yourself to death?”

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

“Stay inside the car,” Liam said to Eros, as he got out of the car. “Make yourself comfortable, because I will be long.”

“Very reassuring,” Eros replied sarcastically. It had been three to four nights straight that Liam kept coming to this bar. But, only the last two days that he took Eros with him, for whatever unknown reason that he didn’t want to make clear.

And for Eros, it was the most annoying thing that he had to do. Waiting. He would have rejected his order if knew that he would end up at the backseat, sleeping throughout the night uncomfortably, while they had a hotel room not too far from here.

This sucked and for the love of him, he would prefer to be in the pack rather than to be here.

Eros growled irritatedly, but there was nothing he could do except to wait for Liam to return.

Right at that time, when he was about to move to the backseat of the car, he caught a glance of this girl, who took all of his attention. He froze for a moment when this girl walked in front of his car.

She has white girl. So white until it reminded him of the color of snow...

It was strange for Eros to be so interested in a woman and couldn’t keep his eyes away from her. Was it safe to say that she was the most interesting woman that he had ever seen? Even though he just saw her for a split second? She was surely older than him.

Who was this woman? Where was she going?

And the most strange thing happened to Eros when he opened the car door and got out of there unconsciously. His first instinct was to approach her. Was he crazy? How could he act out of impulsiveness toward a stranger?

Probably sensing Eros’ intense gaze, the girl turned around and looked him right in the eyes, and that was the moment when he realized the white hair girl was not a human being. She was a shifter.

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

July felt very restless, she didn’t feel good at all. Even Sebastian could find her brooding more than once during their conversation about Lucinda city and their plans for it.

“If you don’t feel like you want to have this conversation now, we can discuss this matter some other time,” Sebastian said finally when July missed his question for the second time. He knew there was something else that was going on in her mind, though he was not sure what it was.

However, he could tell it must be related to Knox, because there was nothing else that could distract July’s focus the way Knox did.

“We can talk about another thing if you want,” Sebastian offered. “I will listen.”

July shook her head, she didn’t think that she wanted to talk about it at all. She surely felt a little bit distracted, but what bothered her was something she couldn’t talk to anyone about. Probably, she would take this matter to her grave.

“Let’s take a walk,” July said. “There is so much stuff here. I want to see the other district.”

Sebastian nodded. He would agree to every request of hers at this point, as he couldn’t bear to see how messed up the woman in front of him was. For some odd reason, he missed the moments she relied on him. When Knox was not here and she came to look for him every time she met with trouble.

Yet, he felt they had grown apart, and she was not happy when she got what she wanted, which was; Knox. Why couldn’t she be happier when the man that she loved was here?

Sebastian really wanted to see her bubbly side again, or to hear the way she laughed freely.

“Let’s go,” Sebastian said, as he took her hand, which he immediately knew was a mistake, but then he didn’t feel July pulling away, as she was still distracted with her own thoughts, so he didn’t either and continue to hold her hand, as they walked out of the manor.

If this was the closest thing that he could do with her, so be it.

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

Norbeat finally followed them to this Neon Night bar that Killian recommended, in order to get another body. He couldn’t do it until now because they stayed at home for the last few days and met no one.

“I would love to take over your body,” Norbeat seethed, as they got out of the car.

“Yeah, I know that you love to be me, but unfortunately, you can’t do it.” Killian tousled his hair, which made the little boy even angrier. “Unfortunately, as Chaos’ fellow shattered souls, there is no way you can take over my soul, boy.”

Meanwhile, Zuri didn’t think much about the interaction between the two of them, as she looked around her.

She agreed to go in hopes she could find one of Chaos’ shattered souls, that was what Killian said to entice her to step out of the house.

But, aside from that, she needed to be outside of that stuffy house, since she couldn’t be with Chaos, as Knox stayed with him all the time.

Zuri was also still upset with Skylar and hoped she could do something more to her, aside from scratching her face.

Yet, she was stunned when this scent hit her. The scent that only belonged to Chaos’ shattered souls. At first, she thought it came from Killian, but on second thought, she realized it was not coming from him at all. It came from her left side.

And there he was, a young boy, around the age of fourteen to sixteen, staring at her, dumbfounded. Why was he stunned? When it was supposed to be Zuri, who was surprised to see him?

He looked at her intensely, as if they knew each other, did they?

Zuri couldn’t recall if she had met with him somewhere else before this.

However, as she was surprised by this encounter, Zuri found she felt another feeling that was entirely bizarre toward this young teenage boy, yet she couldn’t describe what it was.

“What is it?” Killian realized Zuri was acting strangely, as she stopped walking with him. So, he shoved Norbeat away from him, who was still ranting about his teasing, and then walked back to Zuri. “Something is wrong?”

Something was definitely very wrong with Zuri and she couldn’t say it in words.

They were in the parking lot, with a lot of cars there, but there was no one there. It seemed their owners were all in the bar.

“He...” Zuri found herself stuttering. She wanted to tell Killian that he was a shattered soul, but...
