Untamed: The Alpha

201 WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

“We need to find a shattered soul for him,” Knox stated, he then looked at Zuri. “I don’t know what will happen to him, but the fact that he looks more and more like a human bothers me.”

Zuri knew why Chaos needed his shattered soul, since it was part of his soul and power as well, but didn’t know that he needed it to this extent.

And the fact that Knox said that he looked more and more like a human, left Zuri anxious. What would be the repercussions for him looking like a human? He indeed bled like a human, his veins throbbed like a human’s, he looked pale and unwell, Zuri could physically hurt him and he needed time to recover from it.

And what is the end of it?

“Will he die?” Zuri asked. She lowered her head and remembered how Chaos had let go of Nikolai because she didn’t want him to kill her childhood best friend. He was the only friend that she had and the time that she spent with Nikolai was priceless for her. She didn’t want to end it with her witnessing how Chaos claimed his soul, which then caused his death.

However, if Chaos didn’t get his soul, what would happen to him? Would he the one, who died?

“Die?” Knox scoffed. “Creatures like him will not die, but I am not sure what will happen to him. Should we find out by draining his blood?”

At that comment, Zuri glared at Knox and growled viciously, which he didn’t care a little bit.

“If you want to see him well, you can go and find the shattered soul on your own and bring that person here,” Knox suggested.

.....

“Why don’t you come with me?” Zuri thought it would be easier if Knox came with her.

“Don’t you see? I am sick too, I will do you a favor by keeping my eyes on him,” Knox dismissed the conversation with Zuri.

Right, Knox had been ill for some time and Zuri didn’t know what happened to him and since July or Anne was also clueless about it, she wouldn’t pry any further.

Zuri just thought, if Chaos looked this ‘sick’ so did Knox, since he was one of his shattered souls too. It made sense that he had such an impact.

Zuri didn’t say much after that and walked out of the room, she was not sure where to go, but she indeed knew where Nikolai lived, since she took him to his place that night.

But, should she sacrifice him? Bring him here for Chaos to claim his soul? Zuri was conflicted with that thought.

But her legs took her out of the house, as she met with July and Sebastian, who were talking about something important. They looked very invested in the conversation between them.

“What happened?” July asked when she saw Zuri walk out of the house and tried to avoid them. “Something happened with Chaos?”

At first Zuri wanted to avoid them because she didn’t want to interrupt, but since she was spotted, she stopped and told them. “I need to go to run an errand.”

July raised her brows when she heard that. “You don’t seem like an errand girl type,” she commented, to which Zuri shrugged her shoulders and then walked away from them, but she told July that she would take one of her cars.

“Don’t take the red one!” That was her favorite car.

Zuri cringed, she remembered Gael’s tacky red color car and definitely wouldn’t drive around the city in a car that color.

Lise banged the door repeatedly, as she heard the commotion out there escalated and fire, blood, screams and all the nightmares that she could think of were happening out there.

The water from the sprinklers had soaked her thoroughly and she was shivering now.

But then, she immediately backed away when all the members of The Hound retreated while starting an open fire at the shifters that chased after them.

Those shifters growled and bared their fangs and when one of them died from a silver bullet that pierced through their body, the others jumped over the dead shifter to attack The Hound.

There were around ten people that were onslaught before Lise’s eyes, as she witnessed all of that that was happening through the small window on the door.

Lise could feel her heart leap to her throat when she witnessed how malicious those beasts were when they ended those human’s lives.

It almost looked like those lives were not even worth it, as the beasts shredded their bodies and tossed the remnants around.

The sound of it was so sickening, though this room was soundproof, but Lise could imagine with such vivid sight like this about what kind of sound it would produce when they tore their limbs apart and tore their necks.

Lise started hyperventilating when she watched that, however, that was not all, because once the beasts caught sight of her, she fell on her back.

It didn’t take a long time before Lise could hear how those beasts tried to enter this room. They wanted to get to her.

If she desperately tried to get out of this house and open the door before, now she hoped the door was strong enough to withstand their brutal attacks.

Fear crept on Lise’s skin, as the door rattled.

Vanessa was making dinner for herself and Nikolai, since her brother was not in good condition when their apartment bell rang.

“Do you have a friend coming over?” Vanessa asked her brother, she poked her head from the kitchen, but Nikolai shook his head.

“Do you?”

But, Vanessa shook her head.

“I will go and see who it is.” Nikolai stood up from the seat to go to the door.

He looked through the peephole and was surprised to see who it was, as he immediately opened the door for her.

“Blue? What are you doing here?” Nikolai asked.
