Untamed: The Alpha

381 DEAD END

At this point, Zuri realized that she was the nymph in the story that the moon goddess told her, the first shifter that accompanied Chaos in his life in the immortal realm, a gift from the moon goddess.

No, it was not a gift, it was because the nymph begged the goddess to be with him. Even at the cost of losing her own memories, she believed she would find a way to love him again.

And now, here Zuri was, with Chaos in her arms. They were finally together. They always found a way to each other, no matter how many memories that they lost or even when they didn’t notice each other right away, but their souls knew, yet it did not feel right...

Selene didn’t say anything for a little while, until Zuri thought she had disappeared, but when she lifted her head to look at the moon goddess, she was staring at her.

She spoke ever so softly and calmly when she stated this, as if she was talking to herself instead. “Can’t you see the pattern of how all of this is happening and how all of this will end?”

Zuri was silent for a moment, trying to think about this in a way that she could understand, but she couldn’t see the pattern, until she realized one thing;

Aaron caused all the trouble, while Hades would sit back and relax, even though he would always offer to help. In the end, Chaos and Zuri wouldn’t be able to escape their tragic ending. That was the pattern of how everything had happened.

Aaron kidnapped the nymph and incurred Chaos’ wrath, which resulted in Chaos being banished from the immortal realm, while Hades offered to help to find the nymph’s soul at the cost of Chaos’ soul. He shattered his soul for the first time in order to find her then.

And the second time, it was Aaron as well who had incited the villagers to kill the white wolf that accompanied Chaos, as they feared him and couldn’t do anything to him.

.....

Whatever Aaron did at that time worked, because the villagers did what he wanted and this made Chaos accept the offer from Hades again to be able to meet Zuri. And that was the second time Chaos chose to shatter his soul.

On the other hand, Chaos, who lived in the mortal world, started to forget those things, as he waited for her for such a long time. He just remembered to gather his souls, but forgot the cause why his soul was shattered in the first place.

Until he met Zuri again...

And now, history was repeating itself. Aaron caused trouble again and Hades had offered to help...

“You do realize it now, right?” The moon goddess walked closer to Zuri and the light that emanated from her body looked so bright. It greatly contrasted with the dark night sky behind her. “It is an ill- fated one.”

Ill fated...

That was what the centaurs told her when Chaos threatened to burn down their place, when he forced them to look into her future.

Both of them were ill fated to be together. One would suffer and die, and the circle would repeat once again.

The moon goddess crouched down beside Chaos’ body. The hem of her dress swept the ground. “Now you know about it, what will you do?”

Zuri looked down at Chaos, he was still sleeping. He looked at ease when he was asleep like this, though there was a soft furrow between his brows.

Zuri tried to think about this, considering all of her options, but whatever it was, she knew one thing for sure and she was very certain about it.

“I am not leaving him.” She gritted her teeth when she said this because there was no way she would do that.

“Even when one of you will suffer and die in the end?” the moon goddess asked her softly. She could see the nymph, the first shifter that she had created and the determination in her eyes. She looked the same way as when the nymph begged her to let her meet Chaos.

Because she couldn’t stand how lonely he was.

“We will find a way,” Zuri said firmly. “If we can find a way to meet each other time and again, even without our memories and not being able to recognize each other at first, we will find a way to do this too.” We will always find a way, right?

Zuri held Chaos tighter.

“Fair enough.” The moon goddess nodded and then stood up. “But, one thing that you should know; the immortals will take him down if he loses to his dark side again. He will be a danger to the mortal realm and also the immortal realm if he loses his control.”

The body of the moon goddess started to fade away when she said that. Gradually, Zuri could see past her.

But, before Selene disappeared completely, she said one last thing that Zuri was already supposed to know.

“There is a high chance he will forget about you again and kill you when he loses himself like before.”

Zuri knew that. She could still feel his fingers that wrapped around her neck when he tried to kill her earlier, forcing her to stab him.

Chaos had also told her about that and she knew it was true when he said that he would forget about her when his dark side resurfaced and he would try to kill her if she blocked his way.

“Chaos... what should we do now?” Zuri looked at him tenderly. She leaned over and kissed him on the lips. “I don’t want to lose you again. We have come so far to lose each other again, right?”

They had gone through so much.

Zuri closed her eyes and then rested her forehead against his, as she felt the cold wind caress her skin. She didn’t want to lose him.

But, what should they do now? She felt like she met a dead end.
