Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 402

402 IT WAS ME

“Seriously... Are you playing family with him?” Hades asked in a mocking tone. “I don’t understand what is in your mind, until you think this is the right time to do this...”

Hades was sitting on the edge of her bed, leaning his back against the headboard. With his position like this, of course, Chaos wouldn’t be able to see him, but he would find him if he stayed like this for long.

“What do you want?” Zuri asked, her expression hard enough letting him know that she was on alert, as she walked across the room and put her pants on, since she was only wearing her undies and an oversized shirt.

“Oh, why did you put it on? I am not yet done staring at you,” Hades said in a whining tone, which made Zuri want to beat him up for making such an expression. “I shouldn’t have greeted you too soon,” he said regretfully.

However, as soon as Zuri turned around, she hurled a mug she grabbed from the nearby table straight at Hades’ head. If only he was not the god of the underworld, he would be sporting a serious injury right now.

But instead, the mug stopped midair, before it could even touch him. Hades pointed his finger at that mug and looked smugly at Zuri, as if he had done something amazing that needed to be praised.

Yet, Zuri didn’t think the same at all, as she threw another thing at him, which ended up bagging the same result.

“Can you stop throwing things at me? This is how you greet your guests?” Hades was amused to look at her expression right now, but he needed to compose himself to not provoke her any further, since there were a few things that he wanted to tell her before Chaos came back to this ugly room.

“I have never invited you to come,” Zuri snapped at him, but she indeed stopped trying to throw things at him, since she knew there was no way she could hurt him with such measly attempts.

.....

“Yes, you have never invited me to come, but if I have to wait for your invitation, I will be dead.” Hades then widened his eyes and then chuckled, as if he had said something funny. “Well, if I am the god of the underworld, doesn’t that mean life and death are not an issue for me?”

He looked at Zuri arrogantly, the smile on his face made him look more annoying than usual.

“What do you want now?” Zuri asked him, she leaned her body against the table beside her and crossed her arms in front of her chest, indicating that she was very defensive right now, as she didn’t welcome him at all.

“I just came here to remind you that my offer is still valid,” Hades cut straight to the point, as he got off the bed and walked closer toward Zuri.

“Stay where you are,” Zuri said sternly, she straightened her body and was ready to put up a fight if he came too close to her.

On the other hand, Hades could see how serious this little wolf was about fighting him. It wasn’t that he couldn’t fight her, both of them knew that he would be able to do whatever if he really wanted it, but Hades didn’t come for that. He had another intention, an important one at that.

“I just want to tell you that my offer is still valid,” he repeated his words because it seemed Zuri missed it the first time.

“I don’t remember what you offered.” Of course, Zuri remembered that. How could she forget about the stupid offer that he made a few months ago?

Upon hearing that, Hades touched his chest, as if he got a heart attack. Zuri really wished he could experience that kind of pain. “How could you forget about what I said? I am so hurt,” he whined.

Zuri scoffed when she saw his childish behavior. “Get lost from here before Chaos returns.” And with that, she turned around to walk away from him, she would rather wait for Chaos outside of the lift, than to be with him for one more second.

However, Hades grabbed her wrist all of a sudden and this made Zuri jolt with disgust. She didn’t like being touched by someone that she didn’t know and out of instinct, she turned around with her claws emerging from the tips of her fingers.

Yet, before she could harm him, Hades had moved away very fast and disappeared, but in the next second he reappeared right at the same spot where Zuri saw him the first time. On the bed.

“I just want to remind you that you have another choice.” Hades grinned when he said that.

“To be your bride?” Zuri raised her brows, her expression showed how ridiculous the offer sounded. “No thanks, you can find another girl, who is very willing to be your plaything.”

“I can line up the girls who want to be with me from heaven to the underworld,” Hades said lightly, as he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. “You just don’t realize how popular I am.” And Hades added immediately. “And don’t scoff at my face, I really don’t like it.”

Yet, it was too late, Zuri just did that.

“Keep dreaming about it,” Zuri said sharply. She then walked away from him, but before she could get away from his sight, Hades spoke about something that made her stop in her tracks.

“When Chaos had done everything that he could until he was like this, until his soul was not even stable, then...” Hades directed his golden eyes at Zuri, as the corners of his lips tugged upward. “Then, what have you done for him in return?”

“This has nothing to do with you,” Zuri hissed at him.

“Hm.” Hades nodded. “But, it is me, who always helped him, right? All this time, it was me.”
