Untamed: The Alpha

This was a slum area in this country, where hundreds of rebellious teenagers gathered around, thinking it was cool to be involved in this kind of gang on their own, scaring many people and creating chaos.

Even though those teenagers were only pawns of other bigger shots that wanted something from them, by providing them with weapons and drugs.

“Stay here,” Chaos said, as he walked toward the guy that Zuri had pointed out.

“Chaos.” Zuri pulled his sleeve to stop him from leaving and made him turn around to face her again with a questioning look. “Make it fast,” she said.

Zuri didn’t want to see Chaos tear apart someone’s body again. If he wanted to take his soul then he could just take it, there was no need for him to torture him first.

Not to mention there were a lot of people here that would witness that.

Zuri was not afraid that these young men would be a problem for Chaos, since he would be able to handle them just fine, the only concern in Zuri’s mind was; that Chaos would lose control over himself again.

The last time he lost control over his desire to torture his shattered soul before taking back his soul was a dreadful scene to behold. It was unnecessary and brutal, and Zuri didn’t want to witness something like that again if she could help it.

.....

Moreover, she didn’t know the exact method to stop him.

Before, she had tried talking him out of it, hugging him, comforting him, yet it took time and during those few moments, she felt like she lost grip of him.

Chaos turned into someone that Zuri couldn’t recognize... and what if she couldn’t reach him? What if he forgot about her? What would he do to her? Would he kill her like he had done to all his shattered souls?

“I will be back soon,” Chaos said. He raised his hand and caressed Zuri’s cheek, just looking at her for a few moments before he turned around and walked straight to the man that Zuri pointed out before.

Meanwhile, this slum area was truly not safe for Zuri to be wandering around, thus after she pointed out which one was his shattered soul to Chaos, Zuri immediately turned to leave.

She left White in front of a café and somehow, Chaos could make the wolf be ignored by the passersby. They saw the white wolf, but no one cared about her.

It was great, since they would be in a lot of trouble by traveling with the wolf in tow, especially in public areas. At the end of the day, Chaos having this kind of supernatural power was really convenient.

Zuri walked back to where she left White and decided to wait for Chaos in that café, yet not too long after, she really felt this bad feeling.

She was being stared at and followed.

It didn’t take a long time to prove her instinct was right, because before she could reach the end of this alley, around four men came to block her path and a dozen more filed in from behind her, crowding her.

“Where are you going, little girl?” one of the men slurred, he didn’t look like he was in his right mind now. Well, most of these men were the same.

On the other hand, Zuri scoffed, she stood in her place and looked them right in the eyes. If they thought that she would cower away, they were completely wrong.

This was what she had done for years when she was still under Alpha Xavier’s command; killing humans. End them without mercy.

Zuri still remembered her first kill and how the warm blood soaked her hands when she decapitated her target and after that, she lost count how many times she had killed humans and supernatural creatures alike.

“You can come in easily, but you will not be able to go out the same way,” the other man said, he looked like he had not yet slept for a few days. The dark circles under his eyes were truly something worth recognizing.

“Get lost,” Zuri said calmly. There was not an inch of her being, which screamed that she was afraid. She was more than capable of handling this trash.

“Are you threatening us?” A different man quipped and the rest of them laughed loudly and mockingly. There were around two dozen young men that surrounded Zuri now. “Someone like you trying to threaten us?”

Zuri stood firmly in her place. She didn’t flinch at all when their laughs echoed throughout this alley. “That is not a threat, it is a warning.”

“Are you sure that was a warning?” The man looked her up and down with malicious intent evident in his eyes. “I don’t see how you can do something to us.” He took a step closer to Zuri and now, they were facing each other.

This proximity clearly made Zuri feel uncomfortable, thus she took a step back. She almost forgot how much she despised being close to someone, except for Chaos, since her body seemed to recognize him and had gotten used to him.

“Don’t try me,” Zuri growled. She was on her guard.

She was not too inclined to kill someone, but if she was forced to protect herself, she wouldn’t mind killing as many as necessary to make herself feel safe, especially when this man tried to close the proximity between them with the idea in his mind that he was intimidating her.

Hell no.

Zuri didn’t care about the intimidation, but she felt repulsive to be so close to them.

“Try you on what?” The man made a mistake, as he raised his hand with the intention to touch Zuri’s face, to make his first attempt to relay the message.

However, Zuri moved very fast when she grabbed two of his fingers and twisted them, forcing him down to the ground and making him kneel before her, without so much as putting any effort.

Her hazel eyes were ablaze with anger when she looked at the men around her, who were shocked and in disbelief with what Zuri was capable of doing.

“Back off,” Zuri warned them grimly, as she still firmly held the two fingers of that man in her grip and every time he tried to free himself, she would push him down even harder, which made him wail in pain. “Back off,” she repeated her order, but no one listened to her, they even tried to do the opposite and started to attack her instead.

Zuri didn’t want to fight them, because there was a high chance of her killing them accidentally, but in her current situation, it was not the time to play nice. They wanted this, so they should be prepared to bear the consequences.

A fierce fight broke out and to their surprise, it was not as easy as they thought to bring her down. She was so swift with her moves and could evade their attacks with such agility.

Not to mention when there was this white wolf that came charging at them out of nowhere. The wolf appeared in the middle of the fight and immediately attacked the nearby men.

Those young men knew how to fight a human, but how were they supposed to fight a wild animal?

It didn’t take too long for them to finally back down and run away for their lives, as the wolf snarled and growled viciously at them.

Yes, Chaos made people ignore the wolf, but it didn’t mean they could continue to ignore this creature when she literally tried to tear their limbs one by one.

At the end of the fight, there were four dead bodies and another five injured men, who were not able to move and too scared to make any noise, as they feared the wolf. They stayed on the ground and didn’t attempt to make a threatening movement.

“You are so cruel, Blue.”

Zuri sighed deeply. She closed her eyes before she turned around and faced Hades. She didn’t need to see who was talking to know that it was him, since aside from Chaos, it was only him, who was stubborn enough to call her by that name.

“I would have appreciated your help a moment ago,” Zuri said coldly, she caressed the wolf’s head to calm her down, as the creature nuzzled into her hand.

“You did great!” Hades raised his two thumbs up, as if he was praising a five year old child. “What else should I do?... Where are you going? I am talking here!”

Hades jumped down from the worn out dumpster and followed Zuri when he saw the girl was walking away just like that, without even bothering to listen to his reason why he appeared in front of her all of a sudden.

“Don’t you want to know why I came to see you again?” Hades matched his pace with Zuri, while the wolf growled at him. The creature was being protective.

“Talk then,” Zuri said tersely, she glanced at Hades, as she walked with the wolf to the café, where she and Chaos would meet later, leaving the dead bodies and the injured people behind her.

“I came here to help you, but why do I feel like I am the one, who is begging for your time and attention?” Hades complained. “You are so cruel and cold.”
