Untamed: The Alpha

379 SHATTERED SOULS

Chaos stood in front of the tower, as he felt this call to him. The tower was surrounded by his protection spell, so even the immortals were having a hard time getting closer and if they insisted they would be seen as an aggressor by him.

Meanwhile, right before his eyes, the beautiful goddess was staring right back at him. Her body emanated warm light, as the moon shone on her.

“What do you want?” Chaos asked Selene. The beautiful goddess of the moon was glaring at him for keeping her away from the nymph.

“I want to see her,” Selene said gracefully, she looked over Chaos’ shoulder at the tower and knew that she couldn’t go closer without creating a commotion without his permission.

“No,” Chaos replied curtly. “I don’t want anyone to see her.”

“Chaos, you know that you can’t keep this going on like this forever, all the immortals are livid because you killed those people without permission. They are discussing your punishment right now,” Selene said calmly. “I can’t help you, but I might know what happened to her.”

She heard that the nymph was unconscious. She had been sleeping for years now and there was no sign of her waking up any soon.

“All the immortals will come down hard on you,” Selene said again. “Take my offer and at the very least, you can help her.”

Chaos narrowed his eyes at her, but then both of them appeared in the room, where the nymph was sleeping soundly.

.....

It happened very fast, just like breathing, one moment they were outside of the tower and the next they were already inside, where the moon goddess stared at the nymph and then took her hand in hers.

“She lost her soul. Aaron hid her soul somewhere,” Selene said. She knew immediately about this.

“Where is it?” Chaos asked grimly. He would destroy Aaron if he could, but the problem was; as immortals, they couldn’t kill each other.

“There are thousands of possibilities,” Selene said, as she stood up before walking toward the window and stared at the dark sky. “But, you will not have much time to look into all the possibilities.”

“Why not?” Chaos asked her, while staring at Blue. He held her hand that was so cold to the touch.

He was not sure what the relationship between them was or why he was very adamant to get her back, but he felt this anger that he was not able to control within him, whenever he recalled what had happened to her.

He was anguished to know that he couldn’t hear her voice, or the fact he couldn’t see how her hazel eyes lit up on that night again. The way she touched him and how she spoke to him. He wanted all of that back.

“Firstly, you don’t have too much time. The immortals are heading here to find you. And secondly, you need a lot of people to help you to look into all the possible places.”

Both Selene and Chaos turned their heads when they heard Hades’ voice, as the god of the underworld grinned at them innocently.

“Don’t look at me like that, I just followed you in here when you brought Selene in.” He shrugged his shoulders. “Let’s say our powers are on par, we are from the same kind, so you will not realize it since you are too distracted.”

Chaos stared at Hades for a few seconds before he dropped this topic and asked him straight away. “You must know a way to do that.” He knew that he couldn’t trust this devil, but he couldn’t possibly try thousands of ways to solve one problem either. Especially since the time was so limited.

“Of course, I know. But, are you sure you will take this path?” Hades asked, smiling harmlessly at Chaos. He was testing the waters now.

No matter how laid back Hades was, he was still a devil, who loved laying his traps anywhere, lurking for the right opportunity to escalate the situation from bad to worse.

“Do you think you can take it?” Hades repeated his question again, as Selene narrowed her eyes. “The immortals will come to take you, what else do you want?”

“What do you have in mind?” Chaos asked. He looked calm enough to ask this heavy question... he was considering taking it.

“You can’t take it,” Selene said. She looked through the window and realized what Hades said was right. The immortals were coming and Chaos didn’t have much time to think about this.

“Then let fate take care of it.” Hades sighed, as if he was very sad to come to this conclusion.

“Didn’t you hear my question?” Chaos asked Hades again. “What do you have in mind?” he repeated it again, emphasizing every word that he spoke.

Hearing that brought a smile to Hades’ lips. His golden eyes glowed brightly in this dimly lit room. “There are a hundred to a thousand possibilities where you can find her soul, but you don’t have much time for that, therefore, why don’t you shatter your soul to look for hers, you can save so much time.”

“HADES!” Selene growled furiously that he dared to suggest that kind of thing. She knew about that, but that was not even something that you could consider doing.

“Why are you angry at me? I just answered his question,” Hades feigned innocence, though all of them knew that this devil only made the situation worse.

The problem with that suggestion was; Chaos would be banished from the immortal world. He would have to live in the mortal realm until he got his soul intact, but not only that, shattering your soul had more consequences than one could imagine.

“Aaron hid her soul and he already disappeared now. How do you think you will find her if you are going to be punished by the immortals?” Hades provoked him even further.

“You will be banished from the immortal’s realm,” Selene reminded him of that.
