Untamed: The Alpha

Therefore, it was no wonder that this place was more peaceful than the rest of the other parts of this realm.

“What name do you like?” Zuri asked him. She forgot about her meal, since she was too engrossed in this conversation. The feeling of having a normal life and forgetting about everything truly enticed her. She felt like she had control over her life for the first time.

“I can go with any name that you give me,” Chaos said softly, as he finished tying her hair up.

Maybe the two of them didn’t realize it, but the other waiters there were staring at them. They were gushing how attentive Chaos was and how beautiful the girl in white hair was.

It was the first time for them to see a girl with white hair and it was not common in this village for a man to have very long hair like Chaos either, especially when the hair was so beautiful and jet black. It didn’t help at all when he looked very handsome.

However, they couldn’t criticize Zuri because the woman was so gorgeous. She had this kind and warm aura surrounding her, but also a mysterious and fierce side when she spoke to the man.

None of them had ever seen this couple before.

“What about James? Lucas? No...” Zuri mumbled to herself, she looked at Chaos whenever she mentioned a name, but she didn’t feel like there was any name that would suit him perfectly, since he was Chaos and he truly lived up to his own name.

.....

“Think about that later, let’s eat first,” Chaos said, as he nudged Zuri’s plate, telling her to eat, while he pulled his own plate closer to him. “You said that you are hungry.”

Yes, she was hungry. Now that Chaos had mentioned it, Zuri felt her stomach twist in pain. She couldn’t remember the last time she ate, it felt like it was a long time ago. It was a distant memory where she ate like this...

“What happened to Killian?” Zuri asked when she was almost finished with her meal. She had been dying to know about this, but couldn’t find the right time to bring it up. Yet, there was no such thing as the right time for somethings, thus she just blurted out what was in her mind.

Yes, she knew that Killian was a dragon shifter, a collector, who gathered rare species of supernatural creatures. Chaos also mentioned that Zuri couldn’t shift in front of him, but all of that information didn’t explain why the dragon went rampant when he saw Zuri in her beast form.

There must be a story behind it, right?

“He saw you in your beast form.” That was not a question, but a statement from Chaos, as he stopped eating and then looked at Zuri.

“Yes.” Zuri admitted that, but she couldn’t explain more because she didn’t want to talk about the things that happened during that time. At least, not now. “Why did he shift into his beast when he saw me? There must be a story behind it, right?”

“Yes, not a good one,” Chaos said, and then continued to eat again. “As far as I know, Killian is the last dragon in this realm. There will be no dragons if he dies.”

That was one of the reasons why Chaos didn’t take his soul back from Killian yet, because he still needed him. It was the same reason why he let Knox live, or norbeat or Skylar.

The four of them were his shattered souls, but Chaos let them live a little bit longer to help him to find the other shattered souls.

“So, why does it have anything to do with me?” Zuri was still confused about this fact. “I did nothing that could harm him.”

Chaos titled his head and then looked at Zuri gently. “Yes, you did nothing to him, but your kind did something horrendous to his kind.”

“My kind?” Zuri was confused. “The werewolves?”

“The white wolves.” Chaos provided more details about it.

White wolves were mythical creatures that not everyone could see, as they lived in secluded areas and didn’t live together, even with the other woves.

They were the proudest and ancient, the noblest among the shifters.

However, there was an incident in the past that caused the white wolves and the dragons to have a huge battle, which led to the extermination of the dragons, leaving Killian alone, while the number of white wolves decreased incredulously, and they retreated to live in secluded areas.

Ever since that incident, no one saw a white wolf ever again, until Zuri.

“Do you know what happened?” she asked curiously, but Chaos shook his head. “You never asked him.”

“Should I?” Chaos gave Zuri a look that was full of confusion, as if asking whether it was necessary for him to ask about that.

“Why shouldn’t you ask?”

“I don’t need to know and I don’t want to know,” he replied truthfully, whatever happened to Killian was not his business, as he had his own past that he wouldn’t want to share with anyone, since it was very complicated.

Zuri sighed when she heard that, she should have known that Chaos would give her that kind of answer.

“How could that be possible?” Zuri asked, she frowned. “If the white wolves live in seclusion, why am I not with them? Was I being shunned away from my own kind?”

Chaos looked at Zuri. “When you were a child, you always mentioned your father,” he started. “But, I have never heard you mention anything about your mother.”

Now that Chaos said it that way, Zuri could say that was true. She had no recollection of her mother...
