Untamed: The Alpha

260 ILL FATED

Every time Zuri pushed Chaos away from her, he would pull her even closer and pin her down once again in an attempt to prevent her from struggling out of his reach.

And the most frustrating part was the fact that Chaos did all of that unconsciously.

He didn’t realize what he was doing because currently he was sleeping and had no idea what was going on with his surroundings. He kept burying his face against the crook of Zuri’s neck, as he rested his head on her shoulder.

Chaos looked like a child, who didn’t want to lose something dear to him. He looked innocent and so serene. If someone saw him right now, they wouldn’t be able to associate him with the man who had destroyed an entire city and killed countless people.

However, Zuri didn’t really feel that way. If it was a few years ago, she would have freaked out and would be having a mental breakdown because of the closeness between them by now and also at how attached he felt toward her.

But, thankfully, over the years, she grew used to his presence and his touch, yet it didn’t shake off the fact that the left side of her body had turned numb, especially her shoulder that Chaos had rested his head on.

The constant warm breathing on Zuri’s neck made her feel slightly uncomfortable, while her stomach tightened whenever Chaos’ lips accidentally brushed her sensitive skin innocently.

It would be the death of her if this continued for a long time. Zuri wanted to push him away, but he would just pull her back time and again.

“Chaos...” Zuri shook his arm, but he only grunted and then fell back into a deep slumber again. “This will be a long night...” she murmured to herself, while staring at the clear sky above her.

.....

Zuri didn’t know where Chaos had taken her when they disappeared in the middle of the assault of the centaurs. She was worried that Aria was hurt or even worse... dead. Moreover, Zuri wanted to know what that centaur wanted to do, until it set Chaos off, who then became very aggressive to even kill her.

Zuri felt there were a lot of unspoken things and these kinds of things would only pile up in the future, seeing how strangely Chaos was acting right now. He became less and less talkative, but became more and more overbearing and overprotective.

For now, they were laying on a moldy floor, inside an abandoned building, where most of its ceiling had gone and grass grew wildly on its floor.

This building must be one of the most beautiful buildings in its era, but fortunately, the era had died, along with the life inside of it.

Zuri gazed at the pale crescent moon that shone like a silvery claw in the night sky, blanketed by the stars that stretched to infinity. Only the occasional chirping of birds or barking of faraways dogs broke the silence of the night.

“How long will you sleep? I am hungry,” Zuri mumbled to herself and her body shivered once again when Chaos kissed her neck in his sleep. “You are going to kill me if you don’t wake up soon.”

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

Despite his cruelty and his despicable methods to get whatever he wanted or his contempt for his father for his favoritism toward Emmet, he loved his pack. He would do whatever it needed to protect his pack. To make it stronger and lead the pack to be the only pack in this realm. This pack would become the strongest and the biggest pack in history under his leadership.

He knew that Emmet wouldn’t be able to achieve anything with his ability. He was only a scumbag, who paraded his status as the firstborn and would be handed down the status as the alpha without even lifting a finger, as soon as their father stepped down. He was so dumb to say the least. He knew nothing about leadership.

Of course, Liam wouldn’t let that happen. He loved his pack with all of his being, he wouldn’t let such an inane and shortsighted person take the lead.

Thankfully, Zuri played her part very well and killed that brainless man, but, even if that plan failed midway, Liam still had a thousand more up his sleeves.

Therefore, seeing those disgusting people ravage his pack and kill most of his pack members, especially the children and women, the civilians of the pack, Liam could feel the anger roll off his entire being. The beast in him was totally awakened and now it prowled at the edge of his head, thirsty for blood, their blood.

His teeth bared, as a deep and threatening growl rumbled out of his chest, upon seeing how many members of his pack had died.

In front of him, near his feet, a young boy, around the age of four, lay dead, with a silver bullet piercing his small chest as fresh blood soaked the soil beneath him.

This young boy would have been one of his warriors a few years later, but now, his time stopped and he wouldn’t be anything, except dust in the air, once they burned him.

The alpha couldn’t believe this. His anger made him see red now. They killed children, innocent children who knew nothing, without hesitation. And they thought they were better than them, the non- human beings. What kind of weird joke was that?

In his rage, he saw red and the roars and screams around him turned into white noise at the back of his head when he charged forward in his beast form, killing every single human that was daring enough to enter his territory and killed his pack member.

What they had done was beyond atrocious and there was nothing the alpha wanted to do, except to rip them apart. He would enjoy having a bath with their blood.

The beast moved very fast, as an alpha, his beast was easily recognized, since his size would be bigger than a normal beast and even though he was in a battlefield like this, he would be well protected by his warriors.

A silver bullet was shot at him, but Liam managed to dodge it, as it grazed his front leg and blood oozed out of his wound. This kind of wound would take longer to heal, but it didn’t mean he would stop. There was nothing that could stop him now.

The man, who shot him, was standing a few meters away from the alpha as he reloaded his gun to shoot him again, but before he could do that, he had lost his arm, as one of the warriors started to tear his limbs apart.

The alpha didn’t pay attention to what happened to him, as he lunged at another human being. Their scent was very disgusting.

He felt disgusted just by breathing the same air as them. The sight of them was a sore spot for him and he wanted to destroy them all... until he caught her scent.

Liam caught her scent in the air, among these filthy smells of human blood, she was here.

And another thought came to his mind when he realized one thing; It was Jasmine, who led these people to attack his pack.

That thought alone was enough to freeze him on the spot.

It was his own mate, who had killed his pack members, gave an order to kill the innocent offsprings of his pack members without hesitation. She killed them cruelly.

A long and painful howl erupted the chaotic night, filled with so much frustration and agony. How could she do that to him?

But, he knew this was something that they couldn’t avoid, given their circumstances, this would happen sooner or later.

And now, the alpha beast ignored all the people around him, he let his warriors take care of them, as he went berserk, penetrating through their defenses.

And the more he broke into their line of defense, the stronger her scent became, until he saw her. There she was, being protected, just like how it should be.

Either it was Jasmine or Liam. Both of them were the leaders of their respective forces. They must kill each other in order to stop this madness. That was a ground rule in every battle.

If he killed her, these filthy human beings would be forced to leave his territory.

If she killed him first, her team would be hailed in history as someone who managed to take down the biggest pack in the east.

However, the closer he got to her, the more prominent one detail became; the severed bond was still there...

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

Emily looked around her, she found a nice corner for her to hug herself, while staring at the other women and children inside this huge room.

Some of them were trying to calm down their children, while the others were too distraught to even care about their surroundings.

The cries of the children then intensified when a woman howled in pain. She suddenly fell to the ground, as if someone had just caned her, but no one did that.

The woman clutched the front of her shirt and wailed. Her cries filled the air and the atmosphere became even more tense.

In the corner, Emily hugged herself even tighter, she was afraid. What happened to her?

And as if she could hear the question in Emily’s mind, a young woman beside her spoke in a low and trembling voice. “Poor her, she must feel the bond getting severed.”

“What does that mean?”

“She is in agony because she could feel her mate dying.”
