Untamed: The Alpha

437 LET’S END THIS

“I don’t want you to say anything,” July said sternly to Sebastian. “You knew and saw nothing.” She emphasized the words, make it sure that Sebastian understood what she was saying.

It had happened, there was no going back from this and now Chaos was livid, while Knox was trying to calm him down.

‘GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM!’

That was what Knox told her, he snapped at her for the first time. The way he looked at her filled with disappointment.

Yes, Knox had been accommodating her need to keep Flo with her, treating her like her own child, despite his warning that the child was Chaos’s shattered soul and there would be time to say goodbye with her.

Time like this would happen sooner or later, but Knox expected her to accept it without question. He thought when the time came, July would hand Flo willingly.

Therefore, what she had done right now was completely stupid, especially with her reason that she didn’t want that little girl to die.

If it was not for Knox, July would be finished in Chaos’s hand, as he looked like he was ready to tear her apart with his barehand.

“I know.” Sebastian nodded.

.....

Here they were, in July’s bedroom again. In the past, he could come and go to this bedroom without any awkward feeling, but when he realized what he had for her was not platonic, everything became more complicated for them.

“Thank you,” July mumbled tiredly.

“July...” Sebastian knelt down in front of July, as she sat on the sofa, her face looked so tired and there was wrinkle at the corner of her eyes. She aged, just like any normal human being, but Knox... he was still the same. “Can you let him go?” he asked.

July didn’t need to ask what Sebastian meant by that, but she was still surprised that he posted such question to her, knowing how she felt.

She swatted his hands, which wanted to hold hers, but Sebastian was stronger and he kept her in place.

“Stop doing this, Sebastian. Knox will kill you if he saw you,” July said sternly. She wanted to stand up and walk away from him, because Knox could come any time and she didn’t want Sebastian in trouble for his own stupidity, though she was irritated by his action right now.

“I know what you want, July,” Sebastian said, ignoring the fact that July wanted nothing to do with him.

He knew what she really wanted, it was only a simple dream from her, something that could be easily happened if they were in normal situation, if Knox was not supernatural creature, if July didn’t fall head over heals to such creature.

She just wanted a little family.

July wanted a family of her own, she wanted that so bad, because of how fucked up her family was, thus she wanted to have her own family.

That was so simple, something that she could easily achieve, only if it was not with Knox, yet she was very adamant that it should be him. It must be him.

“Let him go and I can give you what you want, July,” Sebastian said.

He couldn’t understand, why July was staying in such relationship with Knox when she knew there was no future for her. She aged like normal human being, but Knox...? He didn’t even age a year at all, ever since they met for the first time almost two decades ago, he looked exactly like that.

“You will only never be happy if you hold on tightly to him.” Sebastian became so agitated to see how July was trying to deny everything that he said. “You are not stupid, you know what I said is true. You don’t need to pretend that this is not hurt you.”

“Get away from me, Sebastian.” July was mad for what Sebastian did to her, but she was even angrier because of what he said was true. There was no future, at the very least, it was not a future that she wanted for her. “You have crossed the line!”

July kicked Sebastian, until he fell to the floor and was forced to free her hand, once that happened, July immediately stood up and put distance between them, because she didn’t want to be near him anymore at this point.

“Get out from my room!” she was livid. She was livid at Sebastian, Knox and herself. “Family? I want a family because it is Knox, if it is not him, I don’t want anything else!” she said that loudly, but the truth... she didn’t know what was the truth anymore.

Her words sounded like a lie in her ears when she screamed like that.

“GET OUT!” July felt like she was about to cry.

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

Knox closed his eyes when Chaos simply disappeared before his eyes when he tried to talk to him about what July had done.

Yes, what she did was unforgivable, but Knox wouldn’t let Chaos lay his hand on her.

“Damn it!” Knox growled when Chaos vanished into thin air. At the very least, he knew that he came to find Zuri, not July. That was one thing that he was sure about.

“July and Zuri... both women are pain in the arse, don’t you think?” Skylar asked Knox, she was giggling when she watched how upset this man was. Why would he look like that?

“You better shut your mouth, before I smash your head against the wall,” Knox glared at Skylar, that was not only a threat, because he determined to go along with it if this woman was stupid enough to provoke him at time like this.

Skylar scrunched her nose in disgust, as she walked toward the door. She hated everyone else, whether it was supernatural creature or human, she had sworn that her existence was only for lord Chaos alone.

But, it didn’t mean she wanted to die in the hand of his shattered soul.

“Whatever, you are the one, who created this situation. You and Chaos indeed the same. You are too attach to your woman and in the end bring trouble for yourself.”

After saying that, Skylar walked away from the library, while Knox was trying to calm himself down, as he was thinking what he needed to say to July at this point.

Chaos was in critical situation, he needed his shattered soul quickly and Flo was the only that was close enough for him to use.

Yet, this happened...

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

Zuri opened her eyes when she heard the creaking sound from the door, someone walked into the room and this put her on alert.

She immediately opened her eyes and then sat down, while holding the blanket to cover her naked body, as Chaos was still fast asleep next to her. He didn’t even wake up, knowing there was someone near them.

“What are you doing here?” Zuri narrowed her eyes when she found Knox was standing at the end of the bed, his arms folded in front of his chest, while his eyes stared at Zuri and Chaos in disagreement.

“If Chaos woke up, tell him that I have something for him in the library,” Knox said.

“What?” Zuri’s brows furrowed deeply. “What do you mean?” She couldn’t run after him because she didn’t wear anything under this blanket, but she didn’t want to call him loudly because she didn’t want to wake Chaos up.

“Wake him up and get dressed, you will know what it is.” Knox glanced at Zuri and then walked away toward the door. “You have grown up,” he said before he closed the door.

“What is that mean?” Zuri grunted grimly. Of course, she had grown up. She was no longer a little child, who would annoy him, though even now, she still annoyed him unconsciously...

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

July couldn’t close her eyes even for a second for the whole night, she kept awake because Knox didn’t return, since he chased her out of the library.

She knew, he did that because he didn’t Chaos to vent his anger at her, but she couldn’t shake the anger and disappointment from his blue eyes.

she wanted to see him, but then, she didn’t know what to say when he was in front of her now.

Knox walked into their bedroom just a minute ago and then sat down next to her on the sofa, while July hugged herself and rested her chin on top of her knees.

“Where have you been?” July asked, her voice was devoid from any emotions, she couldn’t even bring herself to look at him in the eyes.

“I am looking for shattered soul,” Knox replied. That was the thing that he brought to library. A human that he was sure it was Chaos’s shattered soul. He has all the criteria.

“You found it?” July kept her eyes fixed on the floor. She was ashamed for what she had done, but she didn’t regret her action to keep Flo saved.

It was less than twenty four hours, but she already missed that little girl. She always looked at her with the idea that if Knox and she had a daughter, she would look like her...

“Yeah.” Knox closed his eyes, he looked so tired. “Let’s end this.”

The words echoed in this silence room, which made the atmosphere became even heavier.

“What do you mean?” July turned her head to look at Knox with fear in her eyes. Her heart was beating so fast.
