UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

"She has left," Chaos said, as he followed Zuri into the main bedroom.

This flat had two bedrooms, a small kitchen, living room, and two balconies that Zuri adored. Everything looked perfect from her perspective, and Chaos loved to see how laid back and at ease the girl was now.

"So, you kicked her out or what?" Zuri asked, she raised her brows when she asked that and smirked when she saw Chaos chuckle as he tousled her hair.

"She can sense that you don't like her," Chaos said lightly.

"I don't dislike her, but she kept staring at you, as if she would swallow you whole, if I was not around to save you," Zuri said in a nonchalant voice, but she looked so vibrant when she tried to sound not to care about something that she actually cared about. There was something about her that made Chaos not be able to let her go, even if the cost of being with her almost killed him.

"In that regard, thank you for saving me," Chaos said gratefully. It was not actually because Zuri had saved him from that woman, but it was because she had saved him from his own despair, for being with him and fighting for them.

For staying with him even though it was not easy knowing what they would face was something that was filled with uncertainty. She was willing to be with him even if it was hard.

Not only in this lifetime, but in their other lifetimes, she did the same as well. She was there when no one wanted to be with him.

"Don't worry, I got your back," Zuri said, as she patted Chaos' shoulder. She smiled so brightly, even the rays of the sunlight would envy her for being so radiant at this particular moment.

Her long, white hair fluttered in the wind that blew in from the open window, which carried the smell of newly baked bread along with vague noises from the street down there. It was so peaceful and just like what Zuri said; if they could live in this place forever, it would be a blessing for them.

Probably, there was another reason why the moon goddess brought them to this place, and not because of that ancient tree alone. The old tree that they had seen centuries ago. Like maybe because the moon goddess wanted to give them a second chance to be with each other.

Or, maybe they were just reading too much into this...

"You look so beautiful," Chaos said, as he smiled at Zuri. He extended his hand to touch her cheek, tucked the few strands of stray hair behind her ear and watched as her lips went slightly ajar. Her hazel eyes stared at him gently.

"I know," Zuri said confidently. "But, it is nice to hear you say that."

"I will say that as many times as you want..." Chaos said, but his voice became slightly deeper, as his gaze made Zuri feel like it wanted to burn her. She could feel her face become so warm because of that, but she bit her lips and pretended he didn't have such an effect on her.

Yet, when Chaos leaned over slightly, she knew what he was going to do. His eyes were still the color of charcoal, but he looked in control of himself. He looked fine and it was him.

"Can I...?" Chaos asked, his voice was slightly hoarse and Zuri could see him as bright as day, with the warm sun rays streaming down from the open window.

Chaos didn't move, he didn't make any advances, waiting for Zuri to reject him, yet she looked him straight in the eyes when she leaned over and kissed him.

It was only a brief peck on his lips, but it spoke volumes to Chaos. He looked at her deeply when she pulled away, but then, Chaos put his hand at the back of her head and pulled her closer. He kissed her gently, savoring the taste of her lips, as she closed her eyes, letting Chaos do anything that he wanted with her.

She trusted him. She trusted him with everything that she had. He would never hurt her and this was what she wanted.

Gently, Chaos laid her down on the bed, still kissing her lips, as she reciprocated with an equal passion. She pulled his hair gently and this made Chaos growl against her lips.

"Is it okay?" Chaos asked, as he pulled away from her slightly to see her expression. He didn't want her to be in discomfort, he didn't want to give her the same pain that she had gone through before.

Zuri breathed heavily, she looked at Chaos, but her head was clouded. All she wanted right now was for him to be close to her, thus when she heard that question, she nodded without hesitation.

Chaos looked at her a little bit longer, while his hand traced her cheek, down to her neck and then lingered on her collarbone, before he trailed his fingers down to her chest.

Zuri gasped when Chaos tore her shirt apart and caressed her breasts. Her skin flushed and felt so warm, as blood rushed in her veins.

The fact that it was broad daylight didn't seem to bother either of them, as Chaos hovered above her.

"I will stop if you tell me," Chaos said softly, he didn't want her to feel pressured to do this. He needed her to want it, too. "Tell me if you are not comfortable."

Yet, Zuri shook her head. She didn't want Chaos to be away from her, at least not now, because she wanted him.

"No, don't stop. I want you," Zuri said in a small voice, as she could see there were a lot of emotions flashing past Chaos' eyes when she said that. "I want you..."
