UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

When a flower doesn't bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.

-Alexander Den Heijer-

****************

The realm of the supernatural creatures knew him as Chaos, that was the name that was given to him, the name that he lived upto, although nobody knew how long he had been walking in this realm.

He was an ancient creature, an old damned soul, who roamed around this realm and created chaos in his wake.

Most of the creatures feared him and didn't want to have anything to do with him, letting him do his own business, which was beyond their understanding.

Nobody knew what his purpose or what he wanted, but they avoided him all the same, as if he would suck their soul out.

However, the little girl with hazel eyes, white hair, and was wearing his black sweater, which looked much bigger than her skin and bony body, stared at him and wanted him to take her in.

"Take me with you," she said.

Her voice was hoarse while she was covered in dirt, her small feet stained with blood from the people that he ordered to be killed, but she fearlessly looked at him in the eyes, making him wonder, what kind of disaster that she had seen to be able to face him like this.

"Take me with you," she repeated her words when she didn't get any response from the man in front of her.

"No, go away," Knox said. "You should be grateful that I didn't kill you."

Yet, she ignored him. She just looked at Chaos expectantly.

"Your name?" Chaos asked.

But, instead of answering the question, the girl asked him back. "What is your name?" She cleared her throat, so her voice wouldn't sound so raspy.

All the men around the room were taken aback by the girl's boldness. Who was this girl? How could she talk back to him like that?

However, she was completely unaware of those strange gazes she received.

While Knox furrowed his brows deeply, upon hearing that question, Chaos just stared at her without so much as a change in his expression.

"Chaos."

"That's not your name," she said stubbornly. Father said to not talk to strangers or give them her name, but her father was not here and she was all alone, and also, she wanted to leave with this man.

Chaos gave the girl one last glance before he turned around and walked away from there.

Seeing that, she immediately rushed to him and walked beside him, while saying, "Blue. You can call me blue."

Chaos glanced at her, but didn't say anything, yet he let her walk beside him.

This was something that had never happened before. All the men there exchanged glances with one another and when one man came to Knox to ask about it, he just raised his hand, as a sign to let her be.

"Clean up this mess," he instructed before he left the huge house, where the owner had died along with the guards and all the people related to his business line.

These were the consequences for trying to betray him.

But tonight, the reason for Chaos to come along to this place, was because he needed to retrieve another piece of his shattered soul.

"You will take her in?" Knox glanced at the little girl, who had climbed onto the backseat and was struggling with the seatbelt.

"Let her be," Chaos said curtly before he drove the car away from the disaster that he caused.

"It is so rare for the two of you to go together! Why didn't you tell me? I would have come with you guys!" A man in his pyjamas hurried over when he heard the sound of the soft engine of the black car that he had grown familiar with, but his eyes widened when he saw a little girl getting down from the backseat, following Chaos and Knox. "…and you came back as three… what the hell!? Who is this girl?!"

Chaos completely ignored him as he strode inside the house, while Knox just patted his shoulder. "Gael," and spoke in passing, "take care of her."

"What?!" The man named Gael stared at the strange little girl, who was hurriedly walking into the house, chasing after either Knox or Chaos, he was not sure which one of the two. "Wait."

Gael hooked his forefinger behind the black cloak that she was wearing, which looked odd on her, so she could stop and answer his question.

However, the thing that Gael didn't expect was; the girl literally clawing his backhand, causing him to release her.

"Bloody hell!" He cursed loudly and watched as the girl ran away. "She clawed me!" he growled in annoyance.

But the girl stopped running in the middle of the living room and sniffed the air, as if she was trying to determine which direction that she had to take. And when she found the right path, she skipped to her left side.

"Damn! What is that girl? A dog?" Gael grumbled, but he chased after the girl, as he knew she would go after the other two.

Gael found the girl trying to open the door to Chaos's study room, but apparently they locked it from inside, therefore, she rattled the handle sullenly.

"We aren't done talking," Gael said. Irritatedly, he showed her his wounded backhand, which was bleeding now. "Look! You clawed my hand!"

However, the girl raised her hand and was about to claw at him again. Fortunately, Gael learned from his mistake and retreated his hand in time.

At that moment, he realized that this girl was not human. "Wow, you are a shifter, aren't you?" he asked, raising his brows questioningly. "What are you?"

"I want Chaos!" she hissed, showing her hostility openly.

"I asked what are you, not what do you want, and also, you can't own Chaos, he is limited." Gael clicked his tongue. "You are too young for him."
