Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 325

325 HOLD YOUR FIRE!

“Knox, what happened?!” Zuri immediately knelt down beside Knox’s body and checked on him. As she skimmed the bedroom real fast, she found that Chaos was not on the bed. He was supposed to be there, because that was where she saw him the last time. “Where is Chaos?”

Knox furrowed his brows. He looked pale and sick. Could someone like him be sick? His dark blue eyes that reminded Zuri of Chaos glimmered under the bright flames that could be seen from the balcony, where the door was opened.

Knox then stretched out his hand, as he breathed deeply, yet he said nothing and this left Zuri terrified.

She had seen Chaos in a weak state before, but never Knox. He always looked reliable and strong. Therefore, to see him like this troubled her greatly.

Knox proceeded to touch her hand and within a blink of an eye, Zuri disappeared from their sight, she just vanished into thin air and this made Norbeat freak out.

“What the hell!?” Norbeat immediately put White down and came to Knox’s side. “Where is the girl!? Where is Zuri?”

Knox closed his eyes, as he breathed deeply.

“Hey! Don’t die yet! I am talking to you! I have gone through a lot of trouble to get here! Don’t you dare to die on me!” Norbeat screeched in Knox’s ears, which made him frown.

“I sent Zuri to Chaos. I am not dying, you dumbass. Now take me to the bed.” Knox didn’t raise his voice, but surely his sharp tongue was still effective enough to shut Norbeat’s ramblings down.

.....

“Oh, okay. I thought you died,” he mumbled.

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

Zuri didn’t know what Knox did to her until she realized that she was no longer inside the room with Knox right before her eyes, looking very sick.

Right now, the person before her eyes was Chaos. His long hair fluttered against the wind. His shirt was long gone as a pair of washed out jeans was what all left on him.

His chest glimmered under the flare of the flames that surrounded both him and Zuri, as he smirked viciously, tilting his head to look at the dragon above him.

There was no fear in his eyes that were no longer in the color of blue. They were red. So red until they reflected the flames. He still didn’t realize Zuri appeared right before his eyes while the girl was still in shock to find herself here all of a sudden. Therefore, the only thing that Zuri did was stand at the side, looking stunned. She was clueless as to what she had to do next.

She could feel this fear creep beneath her skin.

Yes, she was afraid of him. There was something vicious about Chaos, something primal and brutal, which made her unable to move. She was even afraid to breathe because she didn’t want him to know she was nearby. So close to him.

What was this feeling? Zuri had never felt such a strong sense of fear toward Chaos before. Her state right now couldn’t even be compared to when Chaos wreaked havoc in the Fokosa city.

She was genuinely scared of him right now and all she wanted to do was to run away from him and yet, she couldn’t bring herself to move even an inch from where she was standing. They were only ten steps apart now.

At that time, Hades put his arm around her shoulder with his face so close to hers, that it made her jump.

“Hey, relax, it is me...” Hades snickered at how scared Zuri was right now, since he thought her expression was very amusing. “I can smell your fear from miles away.”

Zuri gritted her teeth, she wanted to say something sharp to him or simply shake his arm away from her, but she couldn’t do that, she didn’t want to attract Chaos’ attention.

“What a great person Knox is, he sent you straight to Chaos to deal with this monster...” Hades laughed and this made Zuri glare at him, because she was afraid that Chaos would hear him, yet it seemed that was not the case. “Do you want me to give you a suggestion?”

Hades still had his arm wrapped around Zuri’s shoulder, as he bent his body, so they could be on the same eye level when he talked to her.

“What?” Zuri bit her lips, she didn’t feel good receiving any suggestion from Hades, but nevertheless, he was the only person that she had right now, though she couldn’t say that he was a ‘person’.

“Did you forget that Chaos gave you the sword? I remember that he said to stab him if he went out of control.”

Zuri widened her eyes, her heart pounding so fast. “That will kill him.” She tried to make it sound as harsh as possible, but when those words came out of her mouth, it sounded so pitiful.

“Exactly!” Hades snapped his fingers.

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

Once she heard the gunshot, she felt the extreme pain on her left leg, as she fell to her knees and noticed Sol aiming his gun at her, but he immediately moved away.

In the next moment, River opened the door and her eyes found Vanesha and the blood on her leg. This shocked her so much.

“Vanesha...” River whimpered, as she rushed toward the girl, who she trusted the most. She was the only friend that she had and to see her like this truly broke her heart. She was about to cry.

However, before River could reach Vanesha, one of the soldiers shot the empty space near her leg. The bullet didn’t hurt her, but it made her stop running and then look at the culprit with anger.

“Hold your fire!” Sol roared, he could recognize the look in River’s eyes. She was livid and it was not a good thing to happen right now. “Back off...” he said in a very low voice, as they took a step back.

However, River didn’t want to let them go.
