Untamed: The Alpha - Chapter 197

“You are and you will always be like that.”

The words rang in Zuri’s ears and this made her gritted her teeth. She hated it when someone belittled her. When someone thought of her as her eight years old self.

Blue is dead. She is no longer existed. She hated that version of her.

“FUCK YOU, CHAOS!” Zuri roared. She seethed and then charged forward to attack him. He was blind after all. It could be something for her advantage.

Yet, that was only her impulsiveness to think that she could best Chaos in any circumtances, Zuri knew it the moment she came to attack him.

However, to her dismay, Chaos didn’t move away, or even tried to dodge her attack. It was impossible that he didn’t know it was coming, since he could manage to skid his way through the crowd of people inside the bar, but couldn’t sense this killing intense from Zuri when she approached him with claws seethed threateningly.

And yet, it was too let for Zuri to pull back, thus her claws stabbed his left shoulder.

Zuri was petrified to say the least. She didn’t move for a few seconds, as she tried to digest what she had done to Chaos.

“Apparently you like to stab me,” Chaos said, his voice didn’t falter, he didn’t even winched when Zuri retracted her claws and blood gushed out from the wounds.

“What… why?” Zuri found herself stammering when she tried to compose herself. “Why don’t you dodge it?”

Right. Why Chaos didn’t dodge it when he could do it?

Even Chaos didn’t know the answer of it.

He got stabbed by Zuri twice since they met again for the first time after eight years apart, he received the pain that she put him without saying anything when he could avoid it or give a counteraction for it, but in contrary, his fire didn’t burn her. The fire burned everything into ashes, but not her.

“I… you are bleeding.” Zuri’s voice was so small when she watched his blood oozed out to stain his shirt.

He shouldn’t be bleeding. He looked more like human.

That words from Gael echoed once again in her head. Chaos lost his power because of the repercussion of his action to save Zuri’s life when she died, but then he was woken up before he could fully heal.

Zuri extended her hand, was about to touch him, but then she stopped mid- way, she bit her lips and dropped her hand, as she averted her gaze from the sight.

She couldn’t do it.

And right at that time, Zuri heard a small and soft groan from behind her. She turned around and found Nikolai tried to move his body, as his consciousness returned.

He was alive?!

Zuri almost didn’t believe this. She thought Nikolai had died because of what Chaos had done, but then when she remembered it correctly, Chaos didn’t do anything to claim his soul to him.

Nikolai’s body would have disappeared if Chaos indeed claimed his soul.

Zuri turned around once again and looked at Chaos with confusion. “You don’t kill him.” That words came out as a statement not a question.

“You don’t want me to kill him.” His reply was curt and his expression still didn’t change, so Zuri wouldn’t be able to know what was going on in his mind.

There was a deep furrow between Zuri’s brow when she heard that, but then Chaos spoke again. His tone was casual

“He will die anyway.”

Zuri didn’t know what to say with that reply. She knew it was true. Nikolai was only human. His age has limit, he wouldn’t be able to out age something like Chaos.

And after saying that, Chaos disappeared. A second ago he was there, bleeding from the wound on his shoulder, but the next second, Zuri was staring at the full parking lot, where she heard Nikolai grunted in pain behind her.

Without a second thought, Zuri immediately came to her friend and helped him, but what Chaos said stuck in her head.

He didn’t kill Nikolai because she didn’t want him to die…

But, why?

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

Anne was on the kitchen, making hot tea for herself, when she heard a loud noise from the dining table, and the glass in her hand almost slipped when she watched Chaos slumped to the floor, with blood stained his shirt. He was sweating profusely.

For a moment Anne was astounded. She had never seen Chaos in such condition.

“What happened?” And once her consciousness kicked in, Anne immediately rushed toward Chaos and knelt beside him. She used her own hand to stop the bleeding, but that was not enough to make it stop. “I will call Knox,” she said in hurried.

There was no way Anne could drag Chaos to his room by her own and there were no guards inside the house, since Knox didn’t like it to see some other people come in and out the building.

It didn’t take a long time before Knox and July entered the dining room with Anne slightly left behind.

“Damn you, Chaos!” Knox cursed loudly and July stood at the side with Anne.

“Do we need to call a doctor?” July asked, unsured.

“No need,” Knox muttered and then he disappeared along with Chaos, leaving the two women staring at the empty floor, with blood smeared on it.

“Great. This is the peak of living with supernatural creature,” July mumbled to herself and then walked out of the dining room, they knew where the two men were.

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

“Who had done this to you?” Knox literally growled at Chaos, but when he saw the wounds, he didn’t need to ask further. “Do you lost your mind? You let her stab you twice? The repercussion seriously had done something more than you lost your sight! I will kill her!”

“Said it again and I will claim your soul.”
