Untamed: The Alpha

371 LOOKING FOR WARMTH

“Yes, can I go with you?” Blue was elated when she heard Chaos offered her to go with him.

She was almost jumping up and down right now, as she walked backward in front of him, so she could see him face to face.

“When can we go?” She was very excited to know.

On the other hand, it was such a joy to see this little creature being so happy, just because he said that he would take her somewhere.

It was therapeutic to see her smiling like that and the way she looked at him innocently, not some kind of creature that would bring disaster to you.

Chaos had enough of receiving curses from those mortals whenever he succeeded in delivering his duty. They would look at him with fear and no one would welcome him.

Rumors said that he was very ‘toned- down’ for someone who was one of the gods of destruction. While the others would enjoy when those mortals feared them and worshiped them, Chaos didn’t find the same feeling like them.

Yet, with Blue, it was different. He would always like to come to this dull place right away after he created a disaster somewhere, and before long, he realized this was no longer the dull place that he knew.

This was a place where he could find every trace of her.

.....

“Now,” Chaos replied shortly.

“Now?” Blue widened her eyes in surprise, but then she nodded vigorously. “Where are we going?”

“Somewhere,” Chaos smiled back at her, something that he rarely did in front of the other people. “Have you ever been to the immortal world?” He pulled her hand before she could bump into a pillar behind her, since she was walking backward. “Walk properly.” He pulled her to the side, but he didn’t let go of her hand.

“No,” Blue replied immediately. “Are we going there?” she asked expectantly.

“Do you want to go there?” He guided her toward the garden, which was now living up to its name and not just being a barren land with dry plants.

It was filled with various flowers that sometimes Blue would tell him about whenever she grew another variety of flowers.

“Yes.” She squeezed his hand, as she was very elated to go. “I have never gone too far from this place before, since it is rare for nymphs to leave their place.”

Chaos nodded and then from his back, spread a pair of black wings, as black as the dark sky. The color matched his long, silky hair perfectly and he looked magnificent to say the least.

This was the first time for Blue to see this and she gasped loudly, as she blinked her eyes. “I don’t know that you have a pair of wings,” she whispered under her breath. “They look so beautiful. Can I touch it?” She asked for his permission first, because she didn’t want to upset him.

Chaos didn’t answer her question, but one of his wings folded close for her to touch.

Blue was amazed, she was in awe to see this, as she extended her hand hesitantly to touch the wing. She would look at Chaos’ expression every now and then, to see if he changed his mind, but his face remained emotionless.

In the end, the tips of Blue’s fingers brushed against the soft, dark fur and this made her smile even wider. She looked at Chaos, who didn’t seem to be affected when she caressed his wings.

“They are so soft...” Blue muttered under her breath. She looked adorable when she walked behind Chaos and looked at his back.

For some reason, Chaos could feel her eyes stare at him, as if he could feel which part of his body that she was looking at right now.

And when she traced her finger on his back, he sucked in his breath sharply, as no one ever touched him that way, yet the little nymph seemed to not be aware of that. She was enjoying what she was seeing right now and apparently didn’t care what effect she had on him.

“We need to go now if you still want to go,” Chaos said, as he remained careful around this little creature.

“Oh,” Blue mumbled and then rushed to stand in front of him. “How can we go there?”

Chaos said nothing, but he pulled her closer to him and hugged her. This was the first time for him to hug her like this and he needed to be careful so as not to crush her small figure. She looked so delicate right now, vulnerable even. She smelled like flowers...

On the other hand, Blue was surprised when Chaos hugged her like this and she blinked her eyes a few times, as her body turned stiff. His body was very warm and she liked it when he wrapped his hands around her body.

“Are you ready?” Chaos asked, he looked down at her and saw her nodding her head, as she pressed her face against his chest. “Hold me tight.”

That order was something that Blue would be so pleased to carry out.

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

This land was very different. The smell of the wind was also not the same and there were a lot of things that were very different from what Blue had ever seen in mortal words, only it was bad, it was the other way around.

Blue lifted her head and then looked up at the sky. It looked soo far and the stars looked like small glowing pebbles in a huge yet dark ocean.

“Is this the immortal realm?” Blue asked Chaos, who was walking right behind her, as if his task here was to look after her.

“Yes.” Chaos replied curtly.

They were in a vast land, where the grass grew greener than the ones that Blue had ever seen in the mortal realm. The wind was slightly cold, but it was refreshing, as it carried various smells of nature.

“This is so beautiful,” Blue said, as she ran around and took off her footwear. She wanted to feel the cold ground under her bare feet, as she ran down the hill.

Meanwhile, Chaos watched her run freely, as she laughed heartily. She rushed toward the only tree there.

It was a big tree that was so dense. In the afternoon, people would stop there to find shelter under the bright sunlight, taking some rest after their work.

The tree’s roots were so big, they protruded from the ground and you could sit there to unwind for a moment.

“Where do those mortals live?” she asked Chaos, breathing heavily after she ran up and down the hill.

“There,” Chaos said, pointed a finger toward the two small houses in the distance.

“There?” Blue pointed in the same direction as him and then frowned. “How can they live inside such small buildings?”

Chaos smiled at her and then sat down at the foot of the tree, staring at her indulgently, as he waved his hand to call her closer.

Blue looked at that and rushed toward him happily, as she sat down on the ground and rested her hands in her lap, while looking him straight in his eyes. She used to sit like this whenever she was with the moon goddess and the goddess would tell her a story or two.

She loved to hear her voice, the same way she loved to hear Chaos’.

“Do you want to hear a story?” Chaos asked, he didn’t know many stories, but this one he heard when he visited one of the mortal villages. A woman was telling this story to her children.

On the other hand, Blue prepared to listen attentively. She loved stories and moreover, she loved the sound of Chaos’ voice.

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

Perhaps it was because of the wind, or maybe it was because of Chaos’ voice that caressed her ears, but Blue felt at peace and couldn’t help but fall asleep with her head resting on Chaos’ lap. She breathed evenly, while the wind played with her hair, carrying a woodsy scent.

“Is she a nymph?” A voice could be heard, but there was no one there, except the god of destruction and the sleeping nymph.

“Yes,” Chaos replied. He ran his fingers through her white hair. It felt nice when the soft strands of her hair brushed against his skin.

“This is the first time you brought someone with you,” the voice stated and from the gruff sound of it, the person must be around thousand years old, since he sounded very ancient.

“Yes,” Chaos replied again, but he didn’t take his eyes off of her sleeping face.

“Does she have a name?” the voice asked again.

Chaos was silent for a moment, he stopped caressing her hair, but then he smiled and continued what he was doing. “Blue. Her name is blue, because she likes the color of my eyes.”

All of a sudden there was a face that appeared on the bark of the tree. It looked so old with a crooked nose and wide eyes, yet it was just a face, as if someone had carved it there.

“You look so happy,” the face on the tree said. “Most of the time you look aloof.”

It was not a compliment, the face on the tree only stated a fact .

On the other hand, Chaos didn’t reply to that and acted as if no one was there when he picked Blue’s body and cradled her in his arms. He rested her head against his chest, as she snuggled closer, looking for warmth from his body.
