Untamed: The Alpha

465 HE WAS AVOIDING HER

“I will see you often. This is not an issue for us. You can stay here and manage this place,” Chaos said easily to her.

Zuri didn’t know where Chaos got this absurd idea about her wanted to stay in this place. Her mouth opened and for a moment, she couldn’t think about anything to say to him.

He was crazy to think that Zuri wanted to be left behind and managed this place.

“Are you out of your mind?” Zuri narrowed her eyes, she finally could find the words and if she could, she really wanted to shake his body so he would come to his sense, unfortunately, the different between them was too great, such idea was not possible to do. “Since when I like this place until I have any desire to manage it?”

Chaos was so calm when he had to face her rage, which made her even more livid.

“I am going with you. No matter what you say, I am going with you,” Zuri said stubbornly. She gritted her teeth and balled her fist, to show her determination, while Chaos said nothing. “I don’t care what your order is. I am going to Lucinda city, with or without your permission.”

If she was adamant to go, there was nothing that Chaos could do to prevent her, at the very least, he wouldn’t do something that would hurt her.

Seeing how Chaos refused to answer that, Zuri stomped her feet and was about to walk away to prepare herself for this journey, but when she had waked passed him, Chaos spoke. His voice was devoid from any emotions and this made her slightly concern.

“You will resent me.” That was the only words that he could offer.

.....

Zuri stopped dead in her track when she heard that.

She would resent him. Did it show blatantly? She didn’t think she resent him, but at that moment, when she watched how the young boy was Chaos’s shattered soul and what kind of thing that would happen to him... she couldn’t say that she didn’t resent him...

Zuri closed her eyes and spoke through her gritted teeth. “I don’t resent you.” Lied until you believed it.

She didn’t resent him. And Zuri repeated the same words again and again, made a suggestion for herself.

“Why should I resent you?” Zuri turned around and a little bit startled when she met his blue eyes, but she balled her fist and said what she was going to say. “This is not the first time I am doing this, why do you think that was any different from our previous mission?”

Chaos stared at Zuri for a little bit longer before his body gradually faded away from her sight. She cursed under her breath when she realized Chaos avoided her.

“Damn you, Chaos!” Zuri was mad because he ran away from this conversation, just like how he didn’t want to talk to her and chose to send her back to this manor when he executed the young boy in the meadow.

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

It didn’t take a day before everyone in the shadow moon pack realized that Josh had disappeared, he was vanished, no one knew where he was or even saw him, since his last shift last night.

At first, they thought he was hiding somewhere or he was caught in trouble, but after the second day and then the third day there were nothing, there was any sign of his existence, the warrior started to look for him more intensely and this made Emily slightly nervous.

Eros stretched out his hand and then grabbed hers in attempt to calm her down. The two of them had just been questioned about Josh, when the last time they saw him and where they were around the time that they suspected was the last time Josh was seen.

Most of the question would be answered by Eros, while Emily would agree with him or chimed in to add detail of his explanation, since it was very clear that the two of them would be in a great trouble for this, if they were about to find out.

The warrior, who asked the question was not suspicious at all when Eros took all the question, since both of them were always together and it was not strange for them.

And because they knew how timid Emily was and how she was struggling to fit in in this pack, they overlooked the way her body was trembling. It was not uncommon sight for them to see this girl like that.

Therefore, with that thought, they didn’t question Eros and Emily further, especially Emily. How could that demure and fearful girl know anything about this?

“Okay, thank you,” the warrior said before he left both of them alone.

Only when the guards were no longer there, Emily sunk to her knees and covered her face with both of her hands, while Eros dropped to his knees as well and caressed her head.

“You have done a great job,” Eros said, as he complimented her and then glanced at the door, to make sure there was no one listening to this conversation. “It’s okay. Everything will be fine, no one will know about this.”

Emily then dropped her hands and hugged him. She wrapped her arms around his neck, sobbing silently. She said nothing, but Eros could feel her fear and started wandering if this was too much for her, but then he remembered, there were a lot of question that he needed to ask from Xerxes.

Therefore, he couldn’t ask for Emily to stop here.

In order to atone for his intention, he hugged her and promised her that he would take care of her, like he always did and wouldn’t let anything bed befall on her.

“I promise you, you will be fine, there will nothing happen to you. I will protect you.” Eros kissed her hair, as he caressed her back to ease her fear. He could feel her nodded against his shoulder.

And when at the tenth day they couldn’t find Josh, the alpha announced that he was died, because of the attack. They thought Josh encountered another supernatural creature, a trespasser, and they fought. In the end, Josh died and the killer left their territory.

The story was not really believable, but that was the only thing that they could offer for now.

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

Zuri had prepared everything in her backpack. She still couldn’t find Chaos anywhere and the man refused to talk to her, he blatantly avoided her, which made her irritated.

Therefore, the night before their departure, she went to Knox room and knock on the door.

“Leave, I don’t want to be bothered.” That was the reply that Knox gave to her, which made Zuri narrowed her eyes.

But, despite what he said, she entered the room and made him groaned in frustration.

“Didn’t I tell you to leave me alone?” He grunted and chugged a bottle of whiskey. Meanwhile, there were a lot of empty bottles scattered all over this room. He was crazy.

“Oh, I didn’t hear you clearly. My bad.” Zuri threw a nasty glare at the bottles and then to Knox, who was sitting near the window, while taking another swig from the bottle in his hand. “You know that you can’t really get drunk, right? You waste good alcohol.”

“Now you can hear me clearly, get out.” Knox didn’t even look at her in the eyes when he said that.

However, it wouldn’t be Zuri, if she listened to him and this made the man irritated by how stubborn this girl could be.

Instead of walking out of the room, Zuri sat down on the sofa, which made Knox finally paid attention to her. His blue eyes told her that he didn’t like it.

“Oh, stop being so difficult.” Zuri frowned. She leaned her back against the armrest, so she could see Knox.

“What do you want? If you are looking for Chaos, he is not here.”

“I will know immediately if he is here.” Zuri touched her nose, indicating that she could smell him, thus Knox didn’t need to explain to her.

Hearing that didn’t make Knox happy at all. if she was not here for Chaos, then she was here to bother him, which was way more troublesome.

“Go away, I don’t have time to talk with you,” he grumbled and then took another swig of his drink again.

Zuri didn’t listen to him and start to question him instead. “Where is Chaos? He has been avoiding me,” she said.

“if you know that he has been avoiding you, then you should know when to stop from coming after him,” Knox replied, he didn’t even thinking when he answered, since he wanted this girl to get out of his bedroom. He wanted to be alone.

And now he knew they would go to Lucinda city, he became even more agitated.

He knew that July and Sebastian were there. The city was not like this McKeltar area, Lucinda city must be a few times bigger than this, but if they were about to scour the area in order to find Chaos’s shattered soul, there was no telling he wouldn’t see her.

Knox closed his eyes. He had been avoiding her like a plague, even her name was never mentioned again, as if the two of them had vanished and had never existed in the first place.

“I can’t do that,” Zuri replied pathetically.
