Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 330

330 DESPITE SHE WAS TRYING TO KILL HIM

Once Zuri freed herself from Chaos’ grip, she gulped the air greedily to fill her empty lungs, she was suffocated and her chest was on fire from all the pain.

She coughed really hard, while her entire body wouldn’t stop shaking, but the smoke around her was too thick and this caused her throat to feel like it was being burned when she breathed. Tears streamed down her cheeks, while she tried to create distance between herself and Chaos subconsciously, because she didn’t want to be hurt again.

Yet, when her teary eyes finally cleared up a bit and found him, that was rendered unnecessary, because she witnessed how Chaos fell to the ground, with the sword lodged deep in his chest. The same sword that a few seconds ago magically appeared in her hand.

“No... no... no...” she shook her head in denial, her heart was beating so fast, she couldn’t think clearly.

The sight of Chaos with the sword piercing his chest was something that she thought would never happen. She swore to herself that she wouldn’t do it, despite what Chaos told her, in spite of how he tried to make her understand the importance of it.

She simply didn’t want to do it. She couldn’t do it...

It was only a few days ago that Chaos showed her the past, when he let her know about his companion, the little white wolf, but now he laid down on the ground, not moving at all...

She stabbed him with that sword, knowing it would hurt him. It could kill him.

Zuri ignored the pain that she felt when she scrambled to reach Chaos, she felt as if it was her, who had been stabbed.

.....

“Chaos...” she called his name and then knelt down beside him, as she watched the aftermath of what she had done. “Oh... what should I do? What should I do now?”

Zuri didn’t know what to do, her whole body kept shaking uncontrollably, as she looked around her, but there was only fire and the monstrous dragon that was still writhing in pain, not too far from them.

“Hades...” Zuri called for the god of the underworld. He was there a moment ago, when she was being strangled by Chaos. He must still be here right now. “HADES!” Zuri screamed at the top of her lungs.

She looked around frantically, trying to ask for help, yet there was no one there while Chaos wouldn’t even move.

Did she kill him?

What had she done...?

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

“What are you doing?! Stop it!” Nathen tried to stop Gael when he was about to take a step on the lava, yet he refused to back down. “You will catch fire!”

“No.” Gael had his eyes fixed on his daughter. The daughter that he only held once, the daughter that he had only seen once. She was his daughter, he could feel it right in his heart.

And this power. It felt very familiar, there was something odd, but also easy about this. The feeling was akin to something that you had lost for a long time, but you finally found it back again.

The power that was long gone...

“Gael!” Nathen was very worried, he was about to grab his hand and pull him back as the lava was very close to them and burned everything in its wake. He could feel the heat dance on his skin, almost making it feel like he was being boiled.

However, before Nathen could reach him, Gael had raised his hand, indicating for him to back down. He could handle this. The power called to him... just like a bird that found its way home.

Yet, he could be wrong and risking his own life when he tried this.

Gael stopped walking closer, he let the lava reach out to him, while Nathen stood three steps back from him along with the other supernatural creatures that had come with them.

Gael had gathered all the supernatural creatures that he could find and created his own team, just like how he did in the past, when the world had not yet turned into this kind of chaos.

He raised his hand when the lava was so close to him. He stared at the scalding liquid and the heat that emanated from it. It was scary and if he failed, not only would he be rendered unable to save his daughter, but he would also end up losing his life.

Yet, something in him knew, his subconscious knew more about this and he was sure that he could handle this.

And that was what happened.

The lava stopped and gradually turned black in color, as the liquid hardened. It spread in slow motion, but when Gael stepped on it, it created a path for him toward his daughter.

Gael felt like he was breathing fresh air, as if the burden on his shoulders had been lifted, the feeling of euphoria spread through his veins. His power returned and his daughter was at the end of this path.

Gael lifted his hand and watched River staring at him, her expression... terrified, because she had never seen someone who had the same power as hers.

The girl had grown up so fast, she had long hair that touched her waist, but she looked so pale. What had those nasty people done to her? Gael gritted his teeth at the thought of his daughter being mistreated by them for years, while he couldn’t do anything.

“Stop it, River,” Gael said, waving his hand when River made the lava around her attack Gael. It was her instinct to protect herself and Vanesha. “Stop this.”

Gael walked closer toward his daughter, there was this warm smile on his lips, as if his easy going nature had returned, despite his daughter trying to kill him.

“Stop it, okay?” Gael stood right in front of River right now.
