UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

While driving back to the hotel, Zuri and Gael didn't stop bickering with each other. She was pissed because he asked her to come with him to confirm that, but in the end, she was the one who gave in to him.

"Speak of the devil," Gael gasped when he parked the car and saw who was walking toward them. It was none other than Chaos and Knox. They seemed to know that they would arrive and approached them in the parking lot. "I think you are running out of your luck."

Zuri was too focused on their quarrel and didn't notice Chaos and Knox, who were approaching them. She cursed under her breath. "I don't have any luck to begin with," she grumbled and then stepped out of the car before rushing toward Chaos, as she hugged him. "I miss you."

Zuri closed her eyes and breathed in his scent. The familiar scent that she knew for so long. She felt Chaos's big and warm palm on her back followed by a kiss on her forehead. She wanted to stay like this forever, not caring for the world.

Yet, reality was waiting for her and she couldn't run away from it.

"Where are you going?" Gael locked the car door and approached them, as he gave Zuri a look because she was hugging Chaos in a public area very intimately.

Seeing that, Zuri tiptoed and kissed Chaos's lips instead to piss him off.

"Oh, please, get a room, I still have a dozen rooms available for both of you," Gael grumbled and approached Knox. "Where are you two going?"

"Hunting," Knox replied simply.

Hunting, that was the word that Norbeat and Skylar used whenever they went out to find Chaos's shattered souls. That was their dark humor on their task. But now Knox also used it, which made Zuri frown, because she didn't know those two people could affect someone like Knox.

"Both of you are going?" Zuri asked. She was a little bit surprised because usually they would go individually and not together, especially Chaos.

Mostly, they would bring the shattered souls and leave them unconscious for Chaos to finish the rest.

"Yes," Knox replied, he then put his attention on Gael, his brows furrowed. "Where did you go?" he leaned over slightly to sniff at Zuri.

However, Chaos glared at him and glowered in a low voice, threatening him to back off, as he didn't like the way he tried to smell his woman.

Knox wanted to retort, but when he stepped back and bumped onto Gael, he smelled the same scent again, though it was very faint.

"Stop doing that, you are giving me a weird vibe." Gael avoided him and gave Knox a nasty look, as if he had done something inappropriate, which made him drop the question immediately, while glaring at him ferociously for suggesting something tasteless.

It must be July's scent that still lingered on Zuri and Gael, though they had tried to not go too closer to her, but there must be some that left on them, especially Zuri, since she spent quite some time with July and they even hugged each other a few times, though she couldn't say it for sure.

"Why are you going with him?" Zuri tried to change the topic, as she lifted her head and asked Chaos. The man was staring at her with his dark blue eyes. Was this the time for him to find more shattered souls? But, his eyes were still blue. He was not out of control either.

"Because I want to end this soon." Chaos caressed her cheek and kissed the tip of her nose, which was cold. The night was getting colder now since they would enter the rainy season soon. "Go inside and take a rest, Gael must have taken you to a strange place."

Zuri's heart skipped a beat when she heard that, but she kept a straight face. "Yes, he took me to a very strange place." However, Chaos didn't ask further about that. "If you want to go find a shattered soul, I will go with you too."

"You don't need to come, you must feel tired after being out for a whole day," Chaos said, staring at her. There were a lot of unsaid emotions behind those dark blue eyes. "Go back to our room, I will be back at midnight."

"No, I am fine, I want to go with you," Zuri insisted, but then from the corner of her eyes, she saw Eros and Colton walk toward their car, which was now only three cars away from them.

Zuri cursed inside of her mind, she was really running out of luck, why would she meet him here?

Without even realizing it, she clutched onto Chaos' jacket. He was wearing this black jacket on a grey shirt, while Knox was wearing his usual semi formal attire with his shirt sleeves folded until his elbows.

"Are you sure he is not Chaos's shattered soul?" Knox narrowed his eyes, he couldn't wrap his mind around the idea that man was not Chaos's shattered soul, he was sure that he was.

Her grip on Chaos's jacket became tighter, Zuri was not sure whether this was to prevent Chaos from jumping on Eros and sucking out his soul, or maybe she was just too afraid for some unknown reason.

"Are you sure?" Knox shifted his attention toward Zuri, his blue eyes piercing hers, as if he could see through her soul.

Zuri bit her lip, she wanted to lie.

Damn it! Why was she acting like a saint all of a sudden? Why was it so hard to lie when she could do it smoothly before?

Yet, before she could answer him, she felt Chaos tilt her head and put her finger under her chin, as he leaned over slightly to kiss her on the lips. His black and long hair cascaded down, preventing everyone from seeing her expression.

But, it was enough for them to know what was happening.
