UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

"Killian." Norbeat folded his short arms, his cheeks puffed in annoyance, as he refused to look Zuri in the eye because of what she had done to him. He felt humiliated and small, the last one being an undeniable fact. "The name of the dragon shifter is Killian."

"And why doesn't Chaos want me to be alone with him or let him know that I am a white wolf?" It was not like she wanted to shift in front of the man, but she just felt a little bit weird with Chaos' request this time.

On the other hand, Norbeat knew that Zuri was a white wolf. There was a troubled look on his expression when he learned about that, but whatever it was, it vanished within a few seconds, so Zuri didn't think much about it.

"Because he is a collector," Norbeat said in a grim tone, his golden eyes flickering with apprehension. Needless to say, he was very reluctant to meet this dragon shifter, but because of his faith in Chaos and his admiration toward him, he refused to leave.

"And what exactly does he collect?" Zuri seemed to have guessed it already, but she needed to make sure of her suspicions.

She looked at the small convenience store and realized that Chaos was almost done.

"Rare creatures," Norbeat said, he scrunched his nose in disgust when he said that. From his reaction alone, Zuri knew that he was not fond of this creature. Because he was one of those 'rare creatures' that Killian wanted, but what about her?

"What about me? Do you think I am one of those rare creatures?" Zuri asked curiously. She didn't feel there was something special about her.

Norbeat gave her a side look and then rolled his eyes.

"Roll your eyes again and I will make sure you will only be able to look at the back of your head for the rest of your time." Zuri didn't appreciate the gesture at all.

"You are really something to threaten a small and innocent boy." Norbeat snorted, showing how much he didn't appreciate Zuri's gesture to threaten him time and again, but he relented.

"You are small, but you are not innocent," Zuri stated, which made the little boy's face turn red. He was annoyed beyond words. "So, tell me, do you think I am a rare creature? If so, why?"

"You need to learn more about your ancestors, little girl."

It was weird to be called little by a little boy, but Zuri shrugged it off. "What should I learn?"

However, before Zuri could get an answer from Norbeat, someone had opened the car door behind her and pulled her out.

Zuri was about to retaliate out of instinct when she caught his scent. Chaos opened the front car door and put her back into the passenger seat, as he dropped their lunch on her lap without saying anything.

"Eat," Chaos said curtly, as he started the engine.

"Don't you want to eat too?" Zuri looked at the two boxes on her lap and a can inside the plastic bag, which must be for White.

"No." He drove out of the parking lot and immediately hit the main road again. Somehow, Zuri felt there was more to Chaos' reluctance to be on the main road after dark.

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

It was a few hours later that they finally reached the house of Killian, the dragon shifter.

The house was dominated by green color and was not as huge as Zuri had imagined. It looked like a normal house around this area with a vast yard.

"The house is nothing like what I thought it to be," Zuri mumbled to herself, as she looked at their surroundings, while Chaos drove the car into the open garage.

"Don't let your hopes get too high, girl." Norbeat heard what she was mumbling. He looked a little bit sour because he didn't have a chance to change his body and had to be stuck in this little boy appearance, which greatly flattened his ego.

Zuri glared at him through the rearview mirror, but she didn't pick a fight with him, as she was more interested in looking at the building in front of her.

It was a narrow three storey house, the width of this house seemed to be just five meters and looked stuffy with weird things on full display on its patio.

Just like what Norbeat said, this creature seemed a little bit weird…

Chaos opened the car door for Zuri and took her hand, as he led her toward the house. Once on the patio, Zuri could see what kind of odd things were piled there.

It seemed, it was only a bunch of junk and trash. There were broken umbrellas, broken glassware, broken vases, and broken wood pieces. Probably, Killian was too lazy to walk out of his room and just dropped this trash in front of his door.

Zuri grimaced, her high expectations of the dragon shifter got crushed just like that. She shouldn't have high hopes in the first place. This dragon shifter was not as noble as she thought.

They walked to the patio and then entered the house. Eh?

Zuri tilted her head to look at Chaos, but it seemed it didn't bother him in the slightest, as he entered the house without even asking for permission.

Therefore, Zuri said nothing and let Chaos lead them into this house, while Norbeat walked beside White, they looked great together.

However, the soul possessor kept fidgeting every now and then, he looked around him frantically and stayed closer to White, as if he hoped the white wolf would be able to offer some sort of protection.

This room was like any normal room. There was a huge sofa set with a flat screen television and kitchen area.

Chaos strolled toward the stairs when all of a sudden Norbeat let out an earth- shattering scream and Chaos was already beside the little boy. He held someone's hand tightly, who was about to touch Norbeat.

"Hee…?" The man tilted his head and looked at Chaos with amusement. "I thought my eyes served me wrong, but it is really you…" he said with a chuckle.

Meanwhile, Norbeat immediately scurried away from this man and stood next to Zuri, seeking protection from her. He looked like a coward right now, the only reason she tolerated him was because he was in this little boy's body.

"Lord Chaos, long time no see," Killian said, his green eyes looking at Chaos with adoration. The same expression that Zuri witnessed when Norbeat saw Chaos for the first time. "It is a pleasure for me to have you in my humble abode."

Yet, Chaos didn't buy these pleasantries. "Call the others."

At first, Zuri didn't realize it, but then she noticed something. "He is a shattered soul," she said in a low voice, but it was enough for them to hear her.

"Isn't that pretty obvious? Of course, he is Lord Chaos' shattered soul," Norbeat chimed in. He looked at Zuri with a frown, but then he was surprised with this revelation too. "How do you know that he is Lord Chaos' shattered soul?"

This topic escalated until Zuri became the center of attention for the three people there. "Hee… who is this little girl that smells so nice?" Killian licked his lips and looked at Zuri with so much interest for her liking. "She knew that I was your shattered soul? How interesting. Do you want to be in my collection?"

Killian's eyes never left Zuri when he crept closer to her, but then he dropped to his knees and clutched his chest, as he breathed heavily. His other hand was still in Chaos' grip.

"What is this, Chaos…" He spoke with difficulty, he even had a hard time to raise his head to look at him.

Recognition flashed in Zuri's eyes. She knew what Chaos was doing right now and it seemed Norbeat too realized it, since he hurriedly moved away from Zuri, because he finally realized that Chaos didn't play nice whenever it came to this girl.

It was weird, but it was also the truth.

"Don't touch her. Don't look at her. Don't talk to her." The voice that came from Chaos' lips sounded very dark and cold, as if his dark side had returned.

"Yes… yes…" Killian nodded weakly. He felt like his life was slipping through his fingers right now. "I will not do that…"

Chaos didn't let him go for another four seconds, which put the dragon shifter in misery. And when he thought he was not forgiven and his life would end right there and then, Chaos finally released his grip.

"Call the others," Chaos simply repeated the same order and then took Zuri to the room upstairs. "I will see you in an hour."

Chaos took Zuri to the second floor and then entered the only door there, as it led them to the main room.

"Chaos?" Zuri was surprised when Chaos pushed her to the bed and snuggled closer to her.

"I need some rest, let me take a rest." He hugged her so tight.

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

Vanesha looked at her surroundings and she looked nervous. Her calm façade had fallen the moment Gael told her that he wanted to meet her.

She told him that he needed to wait and that she was under tight supervision, especially after her encounter with Nikolai. She knew that her brother wouldn't let her be.

But, Gael no longer accepted any excuses from her.

Therefore, here she was, waiting for the man to appear.
