UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

Zuri packed a few things that she had and then checked out of the hotel. She ran out of cash and had only two options; first she could go out and look for a job, which required her to have an identification proof that she was not a supernatural creature, which she didn't have.

Or she could go to the organization and meet with July and Anne.

She hated both options and wanted a third option, which originally she thought was the easiest one, but what Hades said ruined it.

She could end her misery with her death, but then even if death didn't give her comfort anymore, she would end up with Hades, as he had made sure of it.

Spending time with him for another minute was already hell for her, thus if Zuri had to spend her eternity with him, that would be a real hell.

"Where do you want to go?" Hades appeared all of a sudden behind Zuri and the girl hated it when someone was standing behind her, as she turned around and glared at him.

"Stop doing that!" Zuri snapped at him.

"Pardon me?" the old lady, who was helping her to check out from the hotel, frowned at her.

"I am not talking to you," Zuri murmured at her.

"If you are not talking to me, then who are you talking to?"

Zuri furrowed her brows, she turned her head and saw that Hades was still standing next to her, with his ugly smile that plastered across his full lips.

"Don't look at me, look at her." Hades arched his brows. "I know I am good looking, but she will think that you are crazy to talk to yourself." He then proceeded with an eerie chuckle.

Only then it clicked in Zuri's head. These people couldn't see him.

All this time, Hades would only appear inside the room and didn't meet anyone, because that was the place, where Zuri spent her days for almost two months.

Therefore, there was no way for Zuri to know that he was invisible in a normal human's eyes.

"Girl? Are you okay?" The old woman asked, her brows furrowed and she looked at Zuri with an observing gaze that she didn't like.

"I'm fine," she said curtly and then stretched out her hand. "Give me the deposit money," she asked impatiently.

"You should learn how to make a poker face better," Hades kept talking. "Or else, people will think that you are crazy for talking to yourself."

Zuri wanted to kick this man in his arse, but the movement would be too obvious, therefore she could only breathe deeply to calm her nerves.

Of course the expression that Zuri showed to the god of the underworld only made the man more elated. It was so boring down there with only soulless creatures that he could order around as he pleased, but with this girl, he could see the real emotions.

"This is your money," the old woman said, as she handed her the money, but before Zuri could take it, she held it tightly, while warning her. "Be careful out there, there are a lot of bad people, who are looking for targets like you. A young girl roaming around mindlessly. I know you are not from this area, but be careful."

"it was those people, who needed to be more careful with her. She had a bad temper," Hades chimed in. He folded his arms, as if he was pleased with what he said.

"Thank you." That was the only thing that Zuri said before she tugged at her money and took it from the old woman's hand and secured it in her jacket pocket.

Zuri didn't waste another minute or breath for the old woman, as she turned around and walked away, but she didn't forget to try something on her way out.

"Shit!" Hades cursed when he felt Zuri stepped on his feet really hard. "You vicious girl!"

Zuri nodded to herself that she had proven her theory was right. People may not be able to see Hades, but at least, she was still able to make a psychical contact with him.

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

"Don't go over there," Hades said when she turned toward a quiet corner.

"Shut up," Zuri growled at him. She was having a headache now when she had to listen to Hades' rambling nonstop, as she walked mindlessly in this city.

This Fokosa city was no longer like the city that she used to know, a lot of things had changed and the changes were not really good ones.

She lowered her baseball cap to ward off the bright light from the sun, as she walked toward an alley that she used to walk whenever she wanted to go to Nikolai's home.

The memory was a little bit of a blur.

"I warned you," Hades said leisurely when they met three grown up men at the end of this alley.

Zuri gave him a nasty glare. He just warned her to not go to this alley, but didn't tell her the reason, which was definitely being ignored by her.

"What you've got?" One of the men approached Zuri and she could feel the repulsion spread over her being upon seeing those men.

However, strange enough that she didn't feel the same way toward Hades, though he was only a step away from her.

"Tell them to stay away from you."

"Stay away from me." Zuri glared at Hades because he talked at the same time when she spoke to those men, so it sounded like she followed his order.

On the other hand, the god of the underworld only grinned at her when he received such a death glare.

Ah… it felt so good to be with her, no wonder Chaos wanted to keep this girl. Only if Hades knew that it was such fun to be around her, he wouldn't have let that Abomination take her away…

Meanwhile, the three men were laughing at Zuri's audacity to talk harshly to them.
