Untamed: The Alpha

41 TO KEEP HER WARM

Perhaps, we truly are soulmates.

Perhaps, it is only the wrong lifetime.

“I have been trying to find a way to reach Chaos, but it’s nearly impossible.” No one could tell where he was, since he appeared and disappeared as he liked. “While Knox, it is hard to say where he is.” Knox was infamous for his underhanded business in the black market. He was in charge of executing dirty deals. “But there will be a wedding party for Gael McKeltar in two weeks,” Mateo reported to Anthony.

Anthony contemplated it for a little while before he finally spoke to the man, “I want you to arrange a meeting with Gael McKeltar. We will go to Fokosa city to meet him.”

However, Mateo didn’t immediately agree with that decision and the Alpha could sense his beta’s hesitation.

“What’s wrong?” Anthony tilted his head at him.

“I don’t feel it’s the right decision to go and meet the McKeltar.” He shook his head. “Do you think Chaos will give away your niece willingly?” He took a step forward and looked at the alpha. “He has never taken interest in anything. He kept the girl by his side. It only means he wants her. I don’t think it’s a wise move on your part to ask for her.”

.....

Mateo was trying to phrase his words nicely, but no matter how he tried, it still sounded a little bit off.

“So, you want to suggest to me that I have to abandon my own niece? My brother’s only daughter?” Anthony narrowed his eyes at his beta.

“I don’t mean that.” Mateo raised both of his hands to calm his alpha. “But, I don’t think she is in any form of harm.”

“You don’t know about it,” he said grimly. “I will take my niece back.”

“And what if Chaos refuses to give her up?” That was the question that they should have anticipated. It was great to be able to have a talk with Chaos without that cursed soul claiming their lives.

But, what if Chaos didn’t want to give her back?

“What will you do?” Mateo pressed on. He had to know what kind of madness that this alpha would bring them into.

And even though he knew such a question would arise, Anthony didn’t have a definite answer yet.

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

Late at night, Blue couldn’t fall asleep. Her stomach was aching because this afternoon Gael let her eat ice cream too much.

Anna had been furious when she learned that Gael let her eat with no restraint and now Blue had to endure the consequences.

She tossed and turned in her bed, clutching onto her aching stomach and tried to fall asleep, because she thought it was the only way to forget the pain.

But, she couldn’t, it was not as easy as that.

In the end, Blue jumped off of her bed and shifted into her white beast. She needed to stretch a little bit in her beast form, as it had been a while since the last time she changed to her beast form.

And somehow, she found her way to the library. The place where she would often meet with Chaos.

It had been days since the last time she sensed his presence, but refused to meet him, because she didn’t know how to face him after what he had done to that poor man. It hurt her to know that she was the reason the man lost his life...

However, the little cub couldn’t help, but feel something was amiss when she couldn’t find him anywhere.

The white little wolf nudged the door handle with her muzzle to open the door to the library room. It was warm inside, even though there was no fire in the fireplace, this library gave a different feeling.

It was a place that had both the nuances and the oldest styles incorporated into one room in this modern manor. Once you walked inside, you would feel as if you were in a different era.

Blue liked being here.

She walked toward the couch and climbed it effortlessly before she laid down there and felt her stomach get a bit better now.

The silence that stretched inside the room made her feel sleepy, after all, it had passed her sleeping time. Soon, she dozed off with her head resting on her front legs.

She was able to preserve her wolf form even though she was sleeping, as she had done this for two years before and this was one of the abilities that needed a lot of concentration.

The sound of the ticking clock lulled the little girl to sleep.

Blue didn’t know how she had fallen asleep, but she sensed it. The smell of coffee and the hand that gently caressed her head, running his long fingers between her fur.

The white little beast purred in delight, as she felt very comfortable, especially when she smelled the scent of coffee that she had gradually become fond of.

In the midst of her sleep, she peered open her eyes to make sure that this was not a dream only to find Chaos reading a book, with his right hand on her head, while his other hand was holding the book.

He felt movement from the wolf and tilted his head, their eyes met and he spoke curtly. “Sleep.”

And Blue fell asleep, realizing that her stomach ache was gone. She nudged her head and rested her muzzle on his lap, as he caressed her head and continued reading his book.

However, though Blue had opened her eyes to make sure that was not just a dream, she couldn’t say the same thing when she woke up in the morning.

Because Chaos was no longer around and she couldn’t sense his presence at all.

“Chaos?” Blue tried to call him, as she sat down, but could find no one there. It was just her, in her human form, with a blanket covering her naked body to keep her warm.
