UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

Skylar hated a lot of facts about Zuri.

She hated that Chaos had been travelling with her for years, when she thought he went out of reach to all of them. This was not something unusual, since he didn't really need them if they couldn't find his shattered souls.

Another fact that Skylar hated about this girl was that she could find Chaos' shattered souls without any problem. Something that they had to put a lot of effort into doing and even so, there would be times they made some mistakes.

Especially when she learned that Chaos called her by a different name. Blue? What ridiculous name was that? Was that his pet name for her? The thought of it alone made Skylar's blood boil in anger.

And now, she found her sleeping next to him. Yet, what made it more unbearable for Skylar was the look on Chaos' face. He looked so peaceful.

Even after decades of knowing Chaos, Skylar had never seen him let his guard down like this. She had never seen him sleeping so comfortably like this. What she was seeing right now was simply out of his character. At least, nothing like what she knew about him.

And now, Skylar was curious about one thing…

How would it feel to kiss him…

"But I can say that he will not like it when you touch him."

That was what this girl said and it only irritated her even more.

"Really?" Skylar smirked viciously. She really wanted to know what this little girl's reaction would be when she witnessed what she was going to do. She fixed her eyes on Chaos, precisely his lips, as she leaned over. "I don't remember that."

Skylar inched closer to Chaos; she could sense that he was drained. For whatever reason, it seemed his energy had been depleted, which caused him to not be aware of his own surroundings.

This girl named Zuri was only a little girl that Chaos took in because she could sense his shattered souls. In that case, she meant nothing to him, right?

That was completely wrong.

"Touch him and you will regret it," Zuri said coldly, her claws emerging from the tips of her fingers. She would have shifted into her beast directly if it was not for Chaos' warning to not disclose her true identity as the white wolf.

However, Skylar ignored the warning, she could care less about what Zuri said, since she didn't see her importance.

Skylar leaned her body, and could feel Chaos' warm breath against her when she was only a second away from kissing him.

She could finally taste his lips, it was going great until she felt the movement in front of her from Zuri. The corners of Skylar's lips tugged upward. She glanced at her to look into her eyes to control her movements.

This was Skylar's ability, she could control someone else's emotion, she could control their mind as she pleased, but of course there was a limit to her ability and one thing for sure, she couldn't control Chaos' shattered souls, or anything related to him.

Therefore, she was shocked to her core when she failed to stop Zuri's movements and it was too late for her to dodge her attack, as she could feel her razor sharp claws digging into her skin. They went so deep and ripped off a little chunk of her face.

Without question, blood splattered onto the walls and the bedside table, following with a shrill scream from the woman, as she curled her body on the ground, pressing her hand against the side of her face, to stop the bleeding, but the pain was unbearable, she had never felt this kind of pain before this.

It was rare for Skylar to get hurt, because she could just manipulate the other person's malicious intentions and control them as she pleased.

Yet, why didn't it work on her?

On the other hand, Zuri knelt on the bed, next to Chaos, who was still sleeping soundly throughout this entire incident. He didn't even furrow his brows even though Skylar's scream could rattle the walls.

"I warned you," Zuri said coldly. Blood dripped down from her hand, as her claws emerged from the tips of her fingers further. She was ready to start a battle if this crude woman wanted it. "I told you to not touch him."

Skylar seemed to not hear that, since she was too occupied with the pain that she had to endure right now. She didn't care about what Zuri said, but this had set an example as to what she would get if she tried to cross her again.

Hearing the loud noise from their bedroom and Skylar's cry, Norbeat rushed to the second floor, you could hear his footsteps, while Killian and Knox simply appeared out of thin air inside the room.

"What happened here?" Killian immediately came to Skylar's rescue and checked on her, while Knox came to Zuri and glanced at her bleeding hand, and he was sure the blood was not hers.

"What are you doing?" Knox narrowed his eyes when he looked at Zuri, as if to warn her to stop clawing at people, she had done that countless times when she was little.

Zuri lifted her chin, but she dropped her hand, as her claws retracted into her fingers. "She didn't heed my warning," she said simply. There was no remorse in her voice or expression. She was ready to tear her up if she provoked her again.

Knox glanced at Killian and Skylar and silently told them to leave the room.

Skylar was heard throwing a few curses at Zuri when Killian, literally, had to drag her out of the room, while Norbeat just arrived and looked so confused, especially when he saw blood everywhere.

"What is happening here?" He asked in confusion. The little boy could feel the tension in the air and was torn between following Killian and Skylar or staying to see what Knox and Zuri would talk about.

However, the latter one seemed to not be an option for him at all, because right at that time, the door was slammed closed, knocking the little boy down.

"Aaargh!" Norbeat wailed, while holding his face, as he curled his body in front of the door, because the door was shut right in his face. "HOW COULD YOU BE SO MEAN TO A LITTLE CHILD?!" he protested.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Knox simply waved his hand and all the noises from outside of the bedroom vanished. It was eerily quiet right now.

"What is it?" Knox asked her sternly, as Zuri stood up on the bed, making herself look taller than Knox, because she didn't want to look up at him.

"She started it," Zuri replied curtly.

"I didn't ask who started it first. I asked you, what happened?" Knox reiterated his words because Zuri didn't look like she wanted to answer him directly. He ignored the fact that this girl was looking down at him in her attempt to gain a more dominant position in this argumentation…

And one thing that didn't go unnoticed by Knox was the fact that Chaos was sound asleep during this entire debacle, he was not woken up at all. Did he exhaust himself again?

"That crude woman wanted to kiss him," Zuri said sternly, gritting her teeth because she couldn't hold back her anger. She would have shifted into her beast if that woman retaliated. "She came to my room and stared me down while I was sleeping."

With only a few words from Zuri, Knox seemed to already get a grip of this entire situation, after all, he had known Skylar for quite some time.

"I don't want this kind of thing to happen again. One thing that you should know is that Skylar doesn't have healing ability like you, so what you did will leave scars on her face." At this point, Knox wondered why Skylar didn't stop her…

She must have known the consequences of her actions, even though she was clueless that Zuri was a white wolf, but she was well aware that she was a shifter, but why didn't she stop her?

"Good. I will leave more scars if she provoked me again. You better warn her, because obviously, she didn't listen to me." Zuri then jumped off the bed and walked toward the bathroom to clean her hands from that woman's blood.

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

From what Zuri heard, Killian took Skylar to the hospital and she needed to stay there for at least a week.

"Don't you feel guilty?" Norbeat looked at Zuri, while he was eating his cereal. The little boy looked bored, as he played with his spoon.

It was night and since the incident in the morning, Knox had locked himself up with Chaos inside the room and had not yet come out.

He seemed to be trying to help Chaos to gain his consciousness again. There was nothing to be worried about his condition, since Zuri had seen worse than that. He just needed time to recover.

"No, why should I?" Zuri asked Norbeat offhandedly. "She asked for that."

"I like that attitude," Killian chimed in, as he raised both of his thumbs at Zuri. "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.

"Where?" Zuri asked.

"To Neon Night bar."

"I would love to go," Norbeat said happily.

"No children allowed." Killian smirked at the little boy.
