UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

Zuri was not sure how long she had been sleeping for, but when she woke up, she was all alone, lying under the big tree while Chaos was nowhere to be seen.

She remembered that Chaos brought her to his realm, but she didn't remember what happened next. After all, she was basically unconscious and the sky here was always like this; dusk with a brilliant orange hue. And no matter how long you were here, the sun would never cross the horizon. The wind that blew over brought a flowery scent from the flower field not too far from her.

She was here once and she knew her way around.

"Chaos?" Zuri rubbed her sleepy eyes and then stood up. She breathed in the air and caught a faint whiff of his scent from her left, so she went to her left.

She wasn't wearing her shoes, but the ground felt so comfortable against her foot. She looked around the beautiful garden with many white flowers surrounding her; flowers that she had only seen in his realm.

This place gave you a mysterious feeling, but at the same time gave you a peaceful mind.

Datura.

Zuri remembered what Chaos had told her about the flowers before. It had small petals in every stalk which looked like a long stick full of flowers when you were holding it, as the stalk could be a meter long.

"Chaos?" Zuri approached him, he was collecting the flowers in his arms and the white color of the flowers made a stark contrast with his dark hair, which looked like the night sky.

"You are awake." Chaos approached her and gave the flowers to her, which she accepted gladly. Unfortunately, the flowers couldn't be brought out of this realm. She would love to keep the petals with her.

"Why are we here?" The last time they were here was because Chaos was not in a good condition and he needed to rest. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"I am fine," Chaos said lightly, as he leaned over to kiss her lips.

Zuri wanted to kiss him longer, but she couldn't pull him closer because she was holding a bunch of flowers and Chaos pulled away from her too quickly. She tried to observe him, but there was nothing that she could get. His eyes were still dark, but there was no animosity in them, which meant he could still control the darkness in him.

"You don't need to worry about me." Chaos put his arm around her waist as both of them walked around this garden.

The silence between them was so peaceful and no one felt forced to talk about anything, since they were comfortable enough to enjoy this serene place.

This realm was so vast and the sky had never changed, which gave a melancholic and somber feeling, this was a memory that you would never forget. The silence and the peacefulness that you felt would forever etch in your mind.

"We will go to East Draghar, but I don't want you to come." Chaos broke the silence with his statement.

Hearing that, Zuri didn't even flinch nor did she frown, she simply made her own statement. "You know I will not go anywhere. I will come with you. Whether you like it or not, I will be there."

Zuri tilted her head and then grinned at him playfully. "You don't expect me to follow what you say without an argument, right?" After all, she followed him all the way to the new capital city, without his permission whatsoever.

"I know you will say that," Chaos said in a somber tone. He looked up at the sky and then mumbled something. "Do you know why the sky never changes here?"

"No." Zuri shook her head and stopped walking, as she stood next to him. "But, I want to know why."

"Because time stops here. There is no past, there is no progress, there is nothing here." For some odd reason, there was sadness in Chaos's voice, which surprised Zuri.

"Don't you think that's way better than what we have to face? I would love to stay here and let the time stop. So, we can live in this moment." Zuri stared at the horizon, her cheeks turned bright red because of the light.

"Yes, but there is no future as well in this place. There is nothing and you can expect nothing here." Living in a moment was a great thing, but when you found out there was nothing you could look forward to, everything would become ordinary, even this beautiful sky would look terrifying the more you look at it.

Zuri was not sure if she could fully understand what was in Chaos's mind, but she knew that staying here forever was not an option. They could indulge themselves in this moment now, but not for eternity.

"What will happen when everything is done? When you finally managed to put your soul back together?" Zuri tilted her head and then looked at Chaos. She moved around and stood in front of him now. "What will happen to you? What will happen to us?"

Will they get their happily ever after?

Just like before, Chaos didn't answer her. Instead, he kissed her longer and the feeling overwhelmed her, as she let go of the flowers in her arms and wrapped them around his neck. She wanted to be close to him, so close, she wouldn't feel the distance between them, so there would be no more goodbyes.

Chaos put his hand behind her back and hugged her tightly to deepen the kiss, as he laid her down on the velvety grass, under the dawn sky that would never change.

Zuri moaned when Chaos kissed her neck and caressed her breast lightly, as she stared at the horizon and realized their time together wouldn't be that long.

Her question was still the same, what would happen after all of this ended?

"Focus on me," Chaos whispered into her ear, nibbling on her earlobe.
