UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

Chaos entered their flat and saw that Zuri had been standing at the same spot, as if she was waiting for him, but then he knew there was something wrong.

Zuri didn't let him know about this, but he could tell that something had happened when he was away, therefore, instead of approaching her, he walked straight to their bedroom, as his dark eyes swiped the whole room briefly, but no one was there…

The room was empty.

"He has gone," Zuri said, as she walked toward Chaos. There was no point in acting dumb when he could figure out what was wrong just at one glance.

Chaos turned around and gave a quick check on her, trying to see if she was injured somewhere.

"I am fine, you don't need to worry about me." Zuri knew the meaning of his gaze. "He didn't do anything to me."

"But, he told you something, right?" Chaos didn't need to guess it, he simply knew it.

"Kind of…" Zuri gave a vague answer, which made Chaos furrow his eyebrows, as he took her hand and led them to the dining table. He picked her up and sat her on the counter top, as he trapped her between his strong arms.

"I am listening," Chaos said calmly, yet there was nothing calm in the way he looked at her, there was fury behind those dark eyes. "What is it?"

Zuri bit her lips when she heard that, she knew there was no way she could get away from this situation without telling him the truth, but then, why should she lie to him in the first place? Wouldn't they face it together? They were in the same boat…

"He offered his help," Zuri concluded what Hades told her earlier. She also told Chaos about what he wanted from her, which caused him to clench his jaw very tightly, as he growled dangerously. "Chaos…"

Zuri put her hands on either side of his face. She was afraid that he would lose his control again because of this. They didn't need that kind of chaos here.

"That's just an offer and I am free to decline," Zuri said to calm him down. "We don't need to think about that."

However, Chaos actually laughed when he heard that, but that was absolutely not a laugh that was filled with joy. It was filled with malice, which made Zuri shiver involuntarily.

This didn't happen often, but when it did, Zuri couldn't help but fear him. There was something inside of him that felt so dark and dangerous, especially the part where he couldn't even recognize her.

"That's not an offer." Chaos straightened his back. He looked at Zuri, but he wasn't really looking at her, as if he was staring past her. "That's his way to get what he wants."

Chaos had indeed forgotten a few things from his previous life, because of living in this human world, but it didn't mean he forgot about Hades.

Even if he forgot about everything, he knew one thing for sure; the devil wouldn't do anything that didn't benefit him.

The way he helped Chaos to revive Zuri and how he offered his help for him to be able to be with her again…

All of that was just like offering someone seawater. The more they drank it, the more they would suffer. It was something that would give you a second of fake pleasure but would only kill you in the end.

Because that was how Chaos' state was right now. He took the pleasure to meet with Zuri again in another lifetime, but what Hades demanded from him would kill him eventually.

Chaos was dying right now…

"Chaos…" Zuri broke this silence, as she jumped down from the countertop and approached him. "The tree said something when we went the previous day."

Chaos lifted his chin and then looked at her. He said nothing, but Zuri understood what he wanted.

"The tree told me to find the coven of the witches, there is a witch with an ancient soul there. He said that they will know…" Zuri didn't want their time here to end, but even from the very beginning they knew this wouldn't last forever. Their past would eventually catch up to them.

And this time, it came in the form of Hades.

"Do you know about that witch?" Zuri tilted her head to look at Chaos and then she nodded. "You know about it, right? About the witch with an ancient soul."

Chaos still refused to talk to her, as he leaned over and hugged her instead. He hugged her so tight, almost like he wanted to diffuse himself into her, as if this closeness was not enough to ease his restless heart.

"Is it over?" Zuri said in a small voice. She tried not to cry, as she hugged him dearly. Their days were over now as they couldn't run away from their fate.

Zuri bit her lips, to prevent herself from sobbing. She didn't want to cry, she had gone through so much, thus this was only another problem. They just needed to survive.

"This is not over, this will not end like this," Chaos assured her.

Both of them knew that the darkness, the monster inside Chaos, was not dead. It was just asleep and if Chaos was not strong enough to face it, it would swallow him whole.

The darkness inside of him was not only a danger for Chaos, but also for everyone around him.

Yet, when Chaos could care less about anything else, or even everyone else that would get killed in the process, he couldn't let that happen to her.

One thing for sure; Chaos couldn't stop finding his shattered soul, to give him strength, instead of holding back his power, since this would help in the long run.

"This will not end like this…" Chaos repeated his words. "We will survive this."

He wanted to be with her…
