UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

In front of her, Zuri could see the woman that almost got her and Chaos killed more than a year ago by blasting off their penthouse.

She looked exactly the same, with her golden hair, sharp golden eyes and also blood red lips. She was wearing a sexy mini dress, which only reached half of her thigh, and did not suit their current situation at all.

"What a pleasant surprise to see you again, Chaos." The woman flicked her long hair to show her cleavage and her tender skin.

Zuri clicked her tongue, she was pissed because she had to see this woman again. "Why did this lewd woman come to you again?"

If Zuri was not mistaken, this woman's name was Scylla and she was a Lamia.

According to what Chaos explained to her a year ago, Lamia was one of the mythological creatures. She was a mistress and had this weird obsession of hunting and devouring children, while having voracious sexual appetite.

And from that short encounter alone, Zuri could conclude who was the target of her sexual appetite and it disgusted her to learn that, even now.

Chaos also said Lamia was a shifter, which was very rare to be seen in her kind. She had the lower body of a serpent, but she could shapeshift into a flawlessly beautiful woman in order to seduce men.

However, Zuri didn't think she would succeed with Chaos…

On the other hand, Chaos didn't give much reaction, he just stood behind Zuri with an expression that was devoid of any emotions, as if he just wanted to get out of this place and continue their journey, away from this trouble.

"Oh, hi little wolf, nice to see you again," Scylla said, she waved her hand and chuckled as she knew she had successfully annoyed her. "Don't look at me like that, it has been a year and I want to catch up with Chaos. Is that so wrong? Are you jealous?"

Scylla raised her hand to cover her mouth, while she was laughing, the sound of it could give you goosebumps…

"Don't worry, little one, me and Chaos have known each other for a long time. You don't need to worry about that," she said between her laughs.

"You are with Aaron," Chaos finally said. This was not a question, but a statement, as if he had known it for sure.

"Oh," Scylla stopped laughing and her golden eyes caught sight of the black Ageha butterfly. "You mean that?" she pointed at the butterfly. "You can say so… he gives us a lot of power and it feels great."

The four people in this small convenience store, slowly walked toward Scylla and stood behind her, they didn't look like they were in their right mind now.

"But, Chaos…" Scylla uttered his name with so much lust, and looked at him with fervor, as if she wanted to devour him whole. "If you want to take the lead, we will follow you. We will love to follow you if you let yourself go."

Zuri frowned when she heard that. What did it mean? Was she talking about the darkness inside of Chaos? Those creatures from hell that had been freed by Chaos would follow him if he let the darkness inside of him take control?

At this point, Zuri wanted to know how horrifying it could be if Chaos really lost control over himself. What would happen then?

The catastrophe in the capital city years ago was already bad enough, so what would happen if Chaos truly let himself loose?

"Come with me, Chaos… Let us follow your lead. Aaron will help you to get whatever you want." Scylla moved even closer, with her hand extended, as if she was waiting for Chaos to take her offer. "You don't need to fight it. You don't need to suffer and deny who you are."

Zuri growled deeply when she saw how close Scylla was. The woman walked closer and closer toward Chaos, with her hand extended toward him. She didn't even spare Zuri a glance, as if she was not there.

"Stop your nonsense and get the fuck out of here," Zuri snapped at this Lamia. She took a glimpse at the Ageha butterfly that was fluttering its wings behind Scylla. Was this Aaron's?

Did they not try to kill Chaos. Now, they wanted him to be their… what? Leader? How could that happen? Zuri shook her head. She was in disbelief.

"Nonsense?" Scylla stopped walking closer and then dropped her hand, as she tilted her head at Zuri. She fixed her attention on her right now, but there was a smug smile at the corners of her lips when she spoke again. "Can't you see? This is what Chaos wants."

Scylla nodded at Chaos, indicating for Zuri to see it for herself.

It had been a while since Zuri knew there was something wrong with Chaos. He seemed to have two different personalities, the other one being a darker and more brutal side. She knew it, but she had been in denial, telling herself that it was only a phase, that he would return to the Chaos that she knew.

However, this time, when Zuri turned her head to look at him, she was able to see that was not the case anymore. This dark side of him, was actually the real him… or at least, that was the first thought that came to her mind when she saw the bloodlust in Chaos' not dark eyes. His thirst for destruction was palpable, even though Zuri was not able to explain how she came to that conclusion.

At this moment, she just felt that every piece had fallen into the right place and the fact that Chaos, who she had known for years, was not the real him, was something that she couldn't wrap her head around.

"Come here, my lord…" Scylla called him with her voice that sounded like a melody, as if she was humming a beautiful lullaby. "You don't need to suffer in that body anymore. Come here, my lord, and lead us again, just like how you did centuries ago. Come here, my lord, and set yourself free."

To Zuri's horror, Chaos smiled when Scylla called him 'my lord', he looked like he had been waiting for that. He had been waiting to hear that and his smile was not something pleasant for Zuri's eyes. It was filled with malicious intentions.

"Chaos," Zuri called his name, but even she herself could hear how her voice faltered, especially when Chaos started to walk toward Scylla. He didn't even look at Zuri. His eyes were on this creature and honestly… This scared Zuri.

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

Jasmine stared at the ceiling. She had been doing this for almost three hours now, staying still on her bed.

There were a lot of things that she needed to think of, but instead of thinking through all of that, her mind was empty. She couldn't even think what she wanted to do for the rest of the day.

Slowly, she felt she was going crazy. She was going to lose her mind, but maybe that was a great thing, since there was nothing more she could hope for.

It had been more than a year and no one from her father's side came to rescue her, not even a single invasion, or at the very least, a sign that they were trying. Nope. It was so peaceful after the failed invasion that she led.

Jasmine couldn't believe that her own father would forsake her.

She knew that her father favored her brother more, he wanted Sol to be his successor, even though Jasmine had proved him countless times that she was more than capable of handling the organization than him.

It was laughable…

"Why are you laughing?" Liam's voice attracted Jasmine's attention and only then did she realize that she had been laughing out loud, until tears fell from her eyes.

Jasmine immediately stopped and pushed herself up to sit down. She looked at Liam, who stood beside the bed, with his arms crossed. He was wearing a black turtleneck sweater and even under this fabric, Jasmine could see his packed body. He was so strong and was so capable of being a leader. No wonder he made this pack become the largest pack in the east.

"There is something funny?" Liam raised his brows when Jasmine waved her hand, gesturing at him to lower his body.

"Yes, I will tell you something funny." Jasmine waved her hand again for him to lean his body, so she could whisper it to him.

This was not necessary, because there was no one in this room, except for the two of them, but Jasmine wanted it and there was no harm in obliging her wish.

Therefore, Liam bent his body and let Jasmine cup his face before she whispered in his ear.

"I don't want to fight you anymore. I want you."

"Hm?" Her words sure came as a surprise for Liam. He thought Jasmine would never give up on her silly beliefs that her family would rescue her. "How do you want me?"

Liam tilted his head and now they were facing each other. Their lips were only a few inches apart. He could even feel her warm breath.

"I want you as my mate. I want you to treat me as your equal."

"After what you have done to my pack, you want me to treat you as my equal?" Liam scoffed in disdain, this was indeed funny. "You are so funny, honey."
