UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

"Apparently, he has been collecting Chaos's shattered souls as well." This time, it was Knox, who answered Zuri's question in a cold tone.

Zuri had a bad feeling when she heard that. "Why? What is his intention in collecting Chaos's shattered souls?" She looked at Chaos, asking for an answer.

"We don't know about that yet," Knox replied. "We are still trying to figure things out."

"And why are you the one answering my question?" Zuri turned her head to look at Chaos. "Why don't you answer my question?"

"Don't bother, he has been like that since yesterday," Knox replied, which meant, Chaos had been very quiet while he didn't know what the reason was.

"Are you okay?" Zuri was worried about him.

"I am fine." Chaos took Zuri's hand and kissed her palm, which made her blush.

And while the three of them were having this conversation with each other, Gael was still bickering with the young shifter, who demanded to know their identities, or else he would alarm the other guards.

"Hey! Stop being lovey dovey! Why am I the one who is doing this job?!" Gael was annoyed to see Chaos and Zuri being all flirty with each other.

Knox's patience had become thin to hear this old man complaining about everything, he then raised his hand and at the same time, the young shifter's body was lifted from the ground.

The poor shifter was mortified, his mouth opened wide, but there was no word that came out of his lips, which meant Knox had done something about it and silenced him effectively.

And when the shifter's body had raised around ten meters above the ground, Knox made a slamming gesture, which caused the body to drop to the ground very fast.

There was no scream or any noise from him, but there was a loud sound from the collision of his body with the hard ground.

"Why do you have to use such a brutal method?" Gael clicked his tongue, he frowned at Knox. He knew that this man could be very extreme sometimes.

"If we have to wait until he passes out from listening to your argumentation, we will only waste our precious time," Knox replied lightly. "Let's go."

Gael was pissed hearing that, as he charged forward and punched his shoulder, but Knox dodged it easily.

"You are really an old man now," Knox scoffed, clearly trying to provoke Gael.

On the other hand, Zuri looked at the poor young man, but seeing how his chest moved slightly, it meant he was still alive, only unconscious because of the impact.

As a shifter herself, she could tell that he would be fine in a day.

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

"Calm down, July," Sebastian said in a firm tone. "We don't need to move now, we can wait for Gael's call first. If Zuri decides to tell Chaos, he will inform us."

July snapped at him, horror in her eyes. "At that time, it would be too late for us to hide!" she screamed at Sebastian. She was frustrated. She didn't know that Gael would bring Zuri along with him, even though she mentioned in passing that she missed her.

She knew that they were in this city, therefore, she had been very careful when she was outside, just in case she would run into one of them, but right now, it did not matter anymore, they had to leave.

"Zuri will tell Chaos for sure. She will kill for that man. Don't you know her?!" July shrieked, fear rushing in her veins to think that her little girl would be hunted down. "They have been hunting the shattered souls for centuries! And now Rhea is one of their prey! You must know about that!

How dangerous the situation could be for Rhea!"

Sebastian had been facing July's irrational thoughts all day long. Ever since Zuri and Gael left the house, she had been freaking out and packing all their stuff. She wanted to move away as soon as possible.

"If you really know the danger, you should have thought twice before conceiving that creature's child!" Sebastian snapped back at July, which made her face blanch and a second later, he knew that he had said something that he shouldn't. "I am sorry, I didn't mean it that way."

July was silent for a moment when she heard what he said. She knew there was this possibility, but her desire to have a little family on her own, to have a child from Knox, overshadowed all the possibilities and now when the truth was thrown to her face, she didn't know how to react to that.

This was her fault, but she couldn't help being angry at Sebastian for saying such a thing.

"You don't have any right to say that," July hissed viciously. She took a step back and flinched when Sebastian tried to touch her. "You are the one, who came with me willingly, knowing what you will face, but you insisted on being with me nonetheless."

"I am sorry, July…" Sebastian didn't know what to say anymore to calm her down. She was already upset even before hearing what he said and now he only made the situation worse.

"Leave me alone, I need time to think," July spoke in a stern voice, she raised both of her hands, trying to keep a distance from Sebastian.

"Mommy? Are you mad with dad?" Rhea poked her head through the gap of the opened door, she came because she heard a loud sound from her parent's room.

Seeing that both of them went silent, the little girl, who was holding her bunny doll, blinked her blue eyes innocently.

How could someone have the heart to hurt her? Her precious little girl…

"No, we are not," July said, as she approached her daughter and hugged her tightly.

"Why are you crying, mommy? Are you hurt?"
