Untamed: The Alpha

“He ruined my world. She is my world.”

Chaos’ voice came out very cold and distant when he said that, but when the last part of Emmet’s body disappeared, it meant his soul had been destroyed beyond repair.

“It is not your place to punish someone else or destroy someone else’s soul and you know that, Chaos. Your actions will put this realm’s balance in jeopardy,” Hades said. He was almost growling when he spoke, an emotion that he rarely showed to the other people.

What Chaos had done was stepping out of the boundaries between them and he shouldn’t have done that.

However, Chaos gave Hades zero concern about that issue and disappeared before the god of the underworld’s eyes.

“Tsk!” Hades clicked his tongue and stared at the empty spot where Emmet’s soul had dissipated. “Poor soul,” he muttered and caressed the head of the green snake that had coiled his body and rested its triangle head on his shoulder.

“So, it is him?” A man emerged from the dark and approached Hades. His eyes were the same color as his and he looked so young and innocent to say the least. He looked like someone that came out of the purest picture, which left him looking completely out of the place.

“Aarron...” Hades sighed, he tilted his head and looked at the creature before him. “Don’t make things more complicated than they already are.”

The young man named Aarron chuckled and two dimples appeared on both of his cheeks that made him look so young and gullible, yet there was nothing about this place that could fit that description at all.

.....

“Chaos... that old creature... he likes a mere shifter?” he muttered to himself. “Interesting...”

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

Eros felt someone come closer to him and out of instinct, he opened his eyes, only to find Liam was about to wake him up by shaking his body.

But, before he could touch him, his hand stopped mid- air because Eros opened his eyes all of a sudden and glared at him.

Smiling, Liam retracted his hand and spoke gently. “We are here. We are home.” And the smile on his lips turned blinding when he could see the longing in Eros’ dark blue eyes. “Yes, we are home,” he emphasized.

He knew exactly how that word sounded to someone, who was not welcomed anywhere and was in a constant unstable environment. Someone so young that should fend for himself and his little sister, and who had to watch his back constantly because he wouldn’t know what came to him the moment he let your guard down.

Yes, Liam knew exactly how such words would sound in his ears and what kind of feelings were running through Eros’ frame right now.

If there was one thing that Liam was proud of himself, that would be him being able to know exactly what to say and how to get his way with his words.

“Let’s go, I will show you your room and your sister’s room,” Liam said, as he got out of the car. They stopped right in front of the pack house and before this, Liam had asked Damon to inform all the pack members about the arrival of the human child in their pack.

And to emphasize that they were not allowed to hurt this precious little girl.

Of course, what was happening between the supernatural creatures and the humans had led to a deep hatred to take root in their hearts, thus it went without saying that they would likely do something to this little girl.

However, since the young lycan was so fond of the young girl, her life was important.

“Emily, wake up.” Eros nudged her cheeks to wake her up. He caressed her cheeks and then shook her body lightly. “We have arrived. Wake up.”

The little girl frowned and then rubbed her sleepy face. She was so sleepy and tired, but knew that she needed to wake up.

“I am hungry.” That would always be the first thing that she would say as soon as she woke up.

Eros had a gentle smile on his lips and then pointed his finger at the big house in front of them and spoke rather cheerfully to her. “Do you think they have food?”

Seeing that, Emily giggled as her eyes sparked with excitement. She had never been in a huge house like this and certainly the thought of living there was way more exciting than to live in the shelter and being bitten by midges.

“Let’s go?” Eros took his bag and then helped Emily to carry her own bag, after that, both of them got down from the car, walking toward Liam, who was smiling at them.

Everything seemed good...

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

The bright streams of light came from the open window and the cool morning breeze woke Zuri up. She breathed deeply and could smell the wet soil after the rain, it seemed it rained while she was sleeping.

However, the only scent that cleared her mind was his.

The smell of coffee in the morning and the warmth that it brought. Zuri didn’t need to open her eyes to know that he was close to her.

“How long?” Zuri said in a low and hoarse voice, she could feel his eyes on her and when she finally opened her eyes, it was their dark blue color that greeted her.

For some reason, seeing that familiar color brought relief to Zuri.

“Four days,” Chaos said curtly. He was sitting on a chair next to her bed, a book on his lap. He looked homely in the brown sweater that he wore while his dark, long hair was tied neatly behind his nape.

“Four days...” Zuri repeated after him.

Four days, but Chaos looked almost like himself, the ‘him’ from eight years ago. Collected, level headed and calm.

The image of him standing in the middle of the ruined city and the catastrophe that had happened seemed like a long and distant nightmare when seeing him right now.
