Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 322

322 CRUCIAL THING

“What do you want now?” Zuri demanded. She felt she would lose her patience with Hades’s quirky traits right now. This was not the right time for this, since she didn’t have enough energy to deal with this devil.

“I have come to inform you that I have two pieces of news. One is bad and the other is not really bad,” Hades said, which meant he came only to deliver bad news and that was the last thing Zuri wanted to hear.

“Can you please talk?” Zuri sounded tired.

“But, you told me to shut up.” Norbeat turned his head and looked at Zuri agitatedly, yet the girl snapped at him once again.

“I didn’t talk to you,” Zuri said. She was getting frustrated by Hades and didn’t have the emotional capacity to deal with Norbeat’s feelings. “Talk now,” she said to Hades, while the look on Norbeat’s face right now made him laugh out loud.

Norbeat opened his mouth and then closed it, only to open it and close it again, until he decided to not talk to Zuri at all. He snorted peevishly, grumbling under his breath, while glancing through the rearview mirror, to see who Zuri was talking to, as she was glaring at an empty spot.

“Okay, okay, I will talk now,” Hades said at the end of his laugh, as he held out his hand when he saw how enraged Zuri was right now. She shot him a dagger look and to be fair, Hades was quite thrilled to see what she was going to do if he dragged this further.

Fortunately, he didn’t do that, because what he was going to say was really important.

“I will tell you the bad news,” Hades finally said in a serious tone, he was no longer jesting around. “The three immortals, Eos, the goddess of the dawn, Kellos, the god of the sun and Selene, the goddess of the moon are pretty upset with what Chaos had done in the past because of you.”

.....

Hades emphasized the words ‘because of you’, to make her feel guilty about it.

“That’s the bad news?” Zuri didn’t really care about the three immortals now, when they had a big trouble as big as a dragon right in front of their faces while Chaos’ situation was still unknown.

“You are too relaxed,” Hades complained. “They are upset and in that case, they will gladly put Chaos down.” Hades clapped his hands. “And that’s the worst news.”

“What do you mean by put him down?” Zuri narrowed her eyes, not liking the words that Hades used in his statement.

Hades tapped his chin. “You can think of this like when you euthanize your pet.”

“I don’t have a pet,” Zuri retorted immediately.

“White is your pet,” Norbeat chimed in, reminding her about the white wolf that always followed her around, forgetting that he swore to not talk to Zuri anymore.

“She is not a pet, she is a companion.”

“Same thing.” Norbeat didn’t want to back down with his opinion.

“You talk like Chaos now,” Hades said, while shaking his head, as if that was a bad thing. “I told him about his pet white wolf and he said the wolf is his companion.”

Of course, Zuri knew what wolf that Hades was talking about. She had seen it with her own eyes. She had seen herself in the past.

“What do you mean they will put him down?” Zuri didn’t falter with this question. She refused to change the topic when she didn’t get the answer she wanted.

“They will come into this realm and put things right. You know, it has been Chaos all along that has created such messy situations like right now and years before and the three immortals felt fed up by this.” Hades shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, as he looked around and told her to turn right, while Zuri relayed it to Norbeat and he followed her words.

“Chaos is also immortal,” Zuri retorted. She felt her heart skipping a beat to think there was something bad that would happen to Chaos.

“Yes, I can see that. If he was a mortal, it would have been a long time since he fused with the ground as one.” Hades rolled his eyes, as if Zuri had stated a ridiculous thing. “But, it doesn’t mean he can’t die.”

Zuri narrowed her eyes, she thought about something and Hades caught it really fast, as he grinned from ear to ear.

“You are right! The sword! The sword in you. That’s the only thing that could kill him.” Hades snapped his finger in front of Zuri’s face. “But, do you know what else that sword can do to him?”

“What?” Zuri felt her throat tighten.

Why would Chaos entrust such a crucial thing to her?

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

Vanesha was inside a room with River, as she put her in a long black cloak with a hoodie that covered her face. When they finally walked outside, the scorching light of the sun had bothered her eyes, because it had been years since the last time she felt the sun glaring at her face.

She became slightly dizzy, thus she needed to go through a quick check up to make sure she was all right.

That was the time when Sol came into the room and looked at Vanesha intently.

“Do you need help with something, Commander Sol?” Vanesha kept her words formal, as she wouldn’t act the way she used to in public.

“Vanesha, I need to talk to you,” Sol said sternly.

“Yes?”

“Outside.” And after that, Sol walked first toward the door and waited for her outside.

“What happened, Commander?” Vanesha followed him, but once she was outside, she saw twelve men aim their guns at her. “What is it?” she looked at Sol, confused, as she wanted an answer from him.

And the one that she got appalled her. “I heard the conversation between you and Gael.”
