UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

"What do you think Aaron will do with your shattered souls?" Zuri kept glancing surreptitiously around her. As they were surrounded by people from the organization, it made her a little bit uncomfortable to know that they were not safe here.

Even though there was no way for these humans to know that she and Chaos were supernatural creatures, still her instincts told her not to put her guard down no matter what.

On the other hand, Chaos didn't seem to be bothered at all by this fact. He could kill them all if he wanted, but then it would put his soul at risk and the darkness inside of him would threaten to come out.

"He wants to gain power." Chaos had known Aaron for a long time, though he forgot about his existence at some point, because his memory was a little bit distorted.

Zuri frowned when she heard that, she knew the answer wouldn't be good. "That devil doesn't know when to stop. What will he do with so much power?"

Chaos lifted his head to look at Zuri's fuming face, he stretched out his hand and smoothened the crease between her eyebrows. "Power is the vital part for every plan. No matter what you want, once you get enough power, you will be able to do everything."

Zuri knew that, but she didn't like the fact that Chaos looked so calm. This was his nature however, to not show any emotions. But, recently, he was being more and more expressionless.

He was almost like someone who was bottling everything up. He didn't want to share his thoughts with Zuri at least and this concerned her.

"The dragon…" Zuri muttered. She lowered her voice because it was not safe to talk about this topic in public, but Chaos had put a barrier around them, so that no one would be able to listen to them. "They placed him in the heart of the facility, do you think you can reach Killian without anyone noticing it?"

"No." Chaos forked a piece of meat and brought it to Zuri's lips because she was thinking too much and barely touched her meal. "There will be a lot of commotion. A fight will be inevitable, especially with Aaron having a hand in this matter."

The reason why Chaos couldn't go straight to where the dragon was because Aaron had put a barrier around the creature, which prevented Chaos from getting closer.

It was either Aaron was helping humans with whatever method he used and gained their trust enough to form an alliance with them, or he worked on this himself.

Either way, it was not good for them.

"Don't make that look," Chaos said, as he fed her another bite of meat. "You can back away…" he stopped midway as Zuri glared at him viciously when she heard those words. "Of course, I would love to have you close to me, that's why I brought you here, right?"

Chaos caressed her cheek lovingly, not caring about the eyes around them that stared at them being so touchy in broad daylight.

"You brought me here because I kept pestering you about it and would not leave you alone," Zuri corrected him.

"And you threatened to come here anyway if I didn't bring you," Chaos reminded her about this part, which made Zuri laugh lightly.

"Well, I am serious about that," she said between her giggles. This was a rare moment when they could talk lightly like this, despite the knowledge of what they would face soon.

"Knox is here," Chaos said and right at that time, someone came into this restaurant and all the people stared at him because of the sudden drop of the temperature. He looked colder than usual and from his facial expression, they knew it was not good news.

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

"Oh…" Alpha Xerxes widened his eyes when he saw Emily sitting on the chair that Eros usually used when he talked to him and from the bright light in this room, he knew that it was in the middle of the day, instead of at the dead of the night. "I am surprised to see you…"

Emily fiddled with her fingers, she bit her lips nervously. She didn't mean to do this, but her impulsiveness got the better of her and here she was.

Before she realized it, she was already sitting there with a syringe in her hands. She was ready to put him back to sleep if she felt this was too much.

"Where is that young lycan…" Xerxes looked around him, but he could see no one there. "Oh, you came here alone without him knowing it?" He cackled when he realized it.

Xerxes was old, weak and useless now, but his brain was still sharp and he could come up with a conclusion pretty quickly.

"Do you need… something from me?" he rasped. He looked thrilled because it had been a long time since he involved himself in anything scandalous. "Or do you want to know what I was talking about with Eros?"

Emily was not a good liar and it was out of character for her to approach Xerxes and break another rule that was set for her, but she was desperate to know the reason Eros kept coming to this former alpha.

"I think… I am right…" his breathing became ragged and he looked exhausted, but his eyes shone brightly. "I will let you know what we were talking about, but you need to keep this a secret from Eros, what do you think?"

Xerxes despised humans and Emily was clearly a human, but he was willing to tip her off, since it would be fun to see what kind of damage he might be able to inflict by 'instigating' this young lady.

"I don't think I need to know that." Emily was ready to put him into sleep, but then he spoke again.

"Even when he kept asking about his mate's past?"
