Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 439

439 INTEROGATION

Zuri had seen the shattered soul that Knox managed to find in the last minute for Chaos, because July had helped that little girl to escape from this place.

What she had done was unforgivable, but they couldn’t hold it against her, though Zuri didn’t think the little girl was important, but she was important enough for July for her to be able to do that.

Zuri leaned her back against the wall, while waiting for Chaos to absorb his soul, as she played with her necklace that she got from the old lady.

In the end, Zuri needed to take Chaos to Nikolai, her childhood friend. She hoped when that time came, she would be able to not empathize with him so much and caused trouble for herself.

That man...

If she thought about Chaos’s shattered soul, Zuri couldn’t help but thinking that young man, the lycan, who had a high chance to be her mate, as she could feel the bond started to grow between them when they met for the first time in that catastrophe. Was he still alive?

Did he manage to survive from that place?

If he still survived, it meant, there would be time in the future they would meet with him again, either way, she needed to meet with him again because Chaos needed him, he needed his soul.

What if he was truly her mate?

.....

Zuri heard this... if you lost your mate, you would be in so much pain, you would go through hell of agony.

How much pain that she could endure when Chaos took back his shattered soul? Zuri wondered if she would be able to endure that.

“Are you all right?” Chaos Zuri when he came out of the library, he looked slightly better, but his eyes didn’t return to its original color, they were still dark. She missed his blue eyes...

“Yeah,” Zuri said, smiling softly at him and then took his hand. “Let’s have lunch, I am hungry.”

Zuri led him to the dining hall, so they could have lunch. Actually, she didn’t really want to eat, somehow, she didn’t want to eat. She could no longer find joy in eating her meal. She ate because she needed to, not because she enjoyed it.

“Forget about lunch for a while, I need you here,” Knox said, as he approached Zuri with Sebastian next to him. The two of them came from the opposite direction.

“What is it?” Zuri narrowed her eyes. “I remember this is our second meeting, but you don’t even say hi to me,” she complained.

The first time they met after years she was away with Chaos, was when he entered her room to inform her that he had caught a shatter soul for Chaos, as a replacement of the little girl that July had set free.

“Hi,” Knox said casually, raising his hand, as if this was nothing to him, and then continued with what he wanted to say. “I need you to go with Sebastian, while I need to talk with Chaos. You don’t mind, right?”

“Why should I go with Sebastian?” Zuri didn’t mind if Knox wanted to say something to Chaos, but she didn’t know why she needed to go with Sebastian.

“There is a new member in this place and he comes from the shadow moon pack,” Sebastian answered the question. “Maybe you have a few things that you want to ask, since you came from that pack before.”

“No. Pass.” Zuri didn’t find the need to tangle herself with that problematic pack anymore, if she had to have an encounter with that pack again, she wanted that was the time when she destroyed the whole pack. It would be so satisfying to see Liam’s face fell because she wiped out something dear to him.

Hearing that, Knox didn’t really care, he just shrugged his shoulder and then put his hand on Chaos’s shoulder and both of them disappeared from Zuri’s sight.

“Ah, this is starting to be so annoying...” she grumbled. This was not the first time for her to witness such thing, but it was really annoying if you could use it to escape without even giving her any chance to stop them.

With that, Zuri was alone now. She didn’t really want to eat, but she couldn’t roam around to find where the two of them were, right?

With that, she remembered what Knox said earlier.

They got someone form the shadow moon pack? Yeah, Zuri knew that because when they escorted her and Chaos to the manor, she saw him was being escorted by different car.

Should she go and see him? What she needed to do? Was there question that she wanted to know regarding that pack? She thought she had moved on from those dark time of her life, she didn’t want to hear anything about that pack, but at the same time, she wanted to know... even though, she was not sure what information that she wanted to hear.

“Should we go now?” Sebastian asked, seeing how silence Zuri was right now. “You can stay quiet and say nothing, if you want.”

Hearing that, it was not a bad idea, therefore, she followed Sebastian.

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

“My twin sister?” July repeated what Darius said, she was in this interrogation room, with Sebastian, who was sitting next to her. Both of them acted as if there was nothing between them, as if everything went so normal, while Zuri was leaning her back against the wall and stared at Darius, trying to remember, if she had any memory about this man when she was still in the pack.

No, she didn’t think she remember any important memory with him when she was still in the pack. They must have met a few times, but because Zuri didn’t really want to engage with the people in Xerxes’s pack, thus their faces were blur memory in her mind.

Except, of course, certain people.

“Jasmine?” July narrowed her eyes when she heard that. She knew that her twin sister got her karma, she was a mate of a shifter, the kind that she and her father hated the most, but she didn’t know if she lived in that pack.

July glanced at Zuri, who didn’t give any change on her cold expression. They had not yet talked about what she had done to Chaos’s shattered soul, there were a lot of things happened.

“Yes, Jasmine,” Darius said, he was sitting rigidly on his seat. “You need to help her.”

Darius heard from July that their relationship was not really good, but they were still family, sister, they were twin, therefore, there must be something in her that was moved to save her twin, knowing she was being tortured in that pack.

However, July’s reaction was something that Darius didn’t expect at all. She laughed when she heard how he expected her to help her twin sister.

It was not happy laugh, but more like she was mocking him for his suggestion.

“What do you mean?” she asked with a glint of smile in her eyes. “Do you want me to help my sister?” she repeated the same question, as she looked at Darius incredulously. “You are not kidding me, right?”

“What do you mean?” Darius furrowed his brows. “You don’t care about your sister?”

July shrugged her shoulders, what she heard from him was not a big of deal for her. “Should I care about her? She is not a child anymore, she knows what she is doing and she could do whatever she wants.”

“She can’t do anything,” Darius emphasized every syllable of his words. He was getting emotional when he added this fact. “She is pregnant right now and the alpha of that pack forced her to give birth as many children as she can. He treats her like a breeder!”

Zuri narrowed her eyes when she heard that. Liam was not a good shifter, but she didn’t know that with time he could be so disgusting like this. She was not on Jasmine’s side, but what he had done was repulsive.

How could he treat his mate like that? He was sick in the head.

“You said, she has twins and now she is pregnant?” July wanted to know about this part.

“Yes, she is pregnant, therefore you need to help her. There must be time in the past, where both of you lived a normal life and was a loving sister to each other.” Darius tried his best to convince July, because if McKeltar had taken care this matter, he would be able to see Jasmine again and get her out of there.

July scoffed when she heard that. “From the way you talk about her, I can say that both of you are quite close with each other,” she said lightly, as she looked at her intensely. There was something off with the way he forced her to help Jasmine. “Do you have relationship with her?”

Darius’s expression changed for a split second, but he immediately composed himself, yet it was too late, because the three people before his eyes could see that.

“What relationship do you mean?” Darius asked his voice was slightly darker than before. “She is the luna of the pack, I am just trying to tell you that she has been treated poorly by the alpha.”

Hearing that, July stood up, while saying. “I can’t help you if you keep lying to me,” she said sternly.
