Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 520 - 520 THERE IS NOTHING YOU WANT TO SAY

520 THERE IS NOTHING YOU WANT TO SAY

Nikolai was talking to his colleagues when someone approached him.

Even though her white hair should be enough to attract attention from other people in this place, for some odd reason, Nikolai only noticed her when she approached him and was close enough to touch him.

“Nikolai.”

Nikolai snapped his head up and turned his body around. He was taken aback when he found Zuri was right behind him.

“Zuri?” His eyes widened at the sight of her. He didn’t believe that they would meet again. Even after years had passed, nothing changed about her. She looked beautiful and there was this mysterious vibe that surrounded her. “How?”

.....

But then Nikolai realized this was not the right time to be astounded, because the situation that they were in was a little bit tricky.

“What are you doing?”

Zuri frowned when she heard that. “That’s how you greet your old friend?”

The four people at the table looked at the two back and forth, as they were clueless about this beautiful lady that approached their commander.

“Ah… how are you?” Nikolai said, flustered, but the question didn’t sound right. The feeling was a little bit awkward in their current situation.

Meanwhile, the four people started booing softly, as they misunderstood why Nikolai looked nervous all of a sudden.

“Who is this lady, commander? You should introduce her to us,” one of them said, while the others chimed, saying similar things.

“She should join us!”

“You have never said that you have a girlfriend.”

“Yes, you look so callous and careless with women, no wonder you are like that, apparently you already have a beautiful woman by your side.”

Zuri frowned and she felt someone boring a hole behind her back with their fierce gaze. She didn’t need to turn around to know whose pair of eyes was that.

Chaos must have heard what these people insinuated and was not at all happy about it, but that was not her problem now.

“Can we talk somewhere?” Zuri said, her expression placid. She didn’t show any emotions, thus it was hard to tell what was in her mind right now.

“Sure,” Nikolai replied hesitantly, his expression hardened when he stood up and left his comrades, who looked at each other in confusion.

They thought the two of them were lovers, but the atmosphere around them didn’t say that, the tension was so great to be ignored.

“Are they two fighting?” They watched their retreating backs and shook their heads, as they proceeded to enjoy their meal. They didn’t pay any mind to their Commander again.

On the other hand, Zuri led Nikolai to the back of the restaurant. It was a small alleyway, which was quiet. A perfect place for them to talk, but Nikolai had clearly put his guard up.

“What are you doing here, Zuri?” Nikolai leaned his back against the wall across from her. Because of how narrow this alley was, they only stood a step away from each other.

This was not a great place for defense if he were to be attacked.

“That’s how you greet your old friend?” Zuri tilted her head, she didn’t know what she had to say at this point. It was extremely awkward and she wanted to end this, but she knew exactly how it would end.

Should she not have come to see him and let Chaos and Knox handle him? After all, years of not seeing each other was sufficient enough not to call each other friends.

“You will not come see me for something trivial, Zuri, knowing the situation right now.” Nikolai pointed out the fact that she was a shifter while this place especially didn’t welcome that fact. “You shouldn’t be here in the first place.”

“Right.” Zuri nodded mindlessly. “So, that’s it.”

Nikolai narrowed his eyes, he knew there was more for her to say, but this encounter was rather abrupt, he didn’t prepare for anything.

“Is there anything you want to say to me?” Nikolai started to look around him, because he could feel something would go wrong.

“I want to say that I am sorry.” Zuri lifted her head and looked Nikolai straight in his eyes. “I hope it will not end like this.”

Nikolai fixed his eyes on Zuri, but he didn’t ask why she was sorry, because somehow, he knew what it was all about.

“The creature named Chaos is here.” Nikolai remembered clearly when he met with Zuri in the past, Chaos had come to them and intended to take him. It was Zuri who pleaded with him to let him go. “Is this something about the shattered souls?”

This time, it was Zuri who was surprised. She reciprocated Nikolai’s deep gaze at her.

There were not many creatures who knew about Chaos’s shattered souls, let alone a human like Nikolai.

“So, it’s right that I am Chaos’s shattered soul?” Nikolai didn’t seem surprised and he looked like he had heard about this story somewhere.

“Where did you know about it?” Zuri looked around her and knew that Chaos and Knox were coming to them. Chaos must have given her some time to have a final farewell with her only childhood friend, but the situation right now didn’t seem like that.

Zuri didn’t have time to hear his answer when Knox appeared all of a sudden right next to Nikolai, which made him jump in surprise. He immediately created a distance between them.

“You can go if you don’t want to see this, Zuri,” Knox said, as he was trying to compromise the situation. “You have not yet finished your drink.”

Zuri rolled her eyes, was it the right time to talk about her unfinished drink? She couldn’t think what he was up to.

“Knox McKeltar,” Nikolai mentioned his name icily. He looked so calm for someone, who knew what would happen to him soon. “Did you come to kill me?”
