Untamed: The Alpha

One would shiver when they heard such sounds and wouldn’t be able to stand too close as it emanated the aura of death.

Yet, Chaos didn’t even budge, he didn’t even falter when he looked into the depths of the portal. It was about something that he wanted and he wouldn’t turn his back from it.

“Are you sure you want to bring her soul back from the underworld?” Hades asked him once again before Chaos took another step closer. “There is no turning back after this.”

Chaos didn’t heed that unnecessary warning, as he continued to walk toward the portal, but when the little beast in his arms disappeared, he stopped and looked at Hades harshly.

“If you succeed, you will come back with her, if not, you will die.” He shrugged. “There is no need to bring a dead body inside, I have plenty.”

Hearing that, Chaos didn’t give any response, but then he turned around and continued walking.

“You’ve become a lot more like a human, do you even realize it?” Hades mumbled. “Maybe because I weakened your strength by shattering your soul?” he contemplated.

And once Chaos stepped into the portal, it was closed, leaving the God of the underworld standing alone amidst the ruins of the buildings and the chaos that he left.

.....

“None ever came back from that... tsk! I told you to not go...”

Lise and Sol watched in fear as the destruction that swallowed the Fokosa city continued to wreak havoc, the damage stretched to miles away from the building that a few hours ago, Lise had her wedding with Gael.

Tonight was supposed to be their wedding night, but the sound of it alone was very foreign in Lise’s ears, since she had never looked forward to it.

So many people died because of that assault and for some reason that Lise couldn’t explain, it was all because of her fault. Somehow, it was connected to the fact that she had killed the mysterious little girl.

No, Lise didn’t mean to kill her, she just didn’t want Sol to be killed.

However, they could worry about that later, since they were still in a critical situation. Thankfully, Sol was able to operate this helicopter across the dark clouds and thunder above their heads.

Another problem aside from the fact that they could be struck by thunder was; how to land this helicopter safely, since they couldn’t see any possible safe landing, as many buildings and places had turned into rubble.

“Are you okay?” As soon as Sol asked that question, he felt stupid. No one would be okay in this situation and he didn’t need to ask that rhetorical question to her just to fill the silence between them.

But, he just wanted to make sure that she was not any worse than this...

“Where are we going?” Lise asked him instead. This helicopter wouldn’t be able to carry them forever, they eventually needed to land somewhere, though they had been flying for more than twenty minutes now, giving a great distance between them and Gael, or any other creatures there.

“We will go to one of my family’s houses,” he said. For now, that was the only place that he could think of. Sol also didn’t know whether Jasmine survived the onslaught or not, there were many things that happened tonight, which was out of the plan.

“What does your family do?” Lise turned her attention to Sol, her eyes slightly narrowed when the thunder struck the sky and the lightning almost blinded the sky. “I thought your family was only a normal business family.”

But, if that was so, Sol wouldn’t be able to pull the stunt like tonight or give her the right poison to weaken Gael. His family must know something more about the non- human beings than what she thought.

“We will talk about that later,” Sol said grimly. This place and situation was not right to discuss about that and to inform Lise that they were not a normal family.

Lise nodded, she agreed with him, but then, out of instinct, she touched her flat stomach and contemplated for a while.

“I want to go to the hospital after we arrive at a safe place.”

“Why? Are you hurt?” Sol glanced at Lise and noticed her staring at her stomach, caressing it, while dazing out. “Lise, why do you want to go to the hospital?” He repeated his question, but his gut feelings told him that he knew the reason.

Lise didn’t answer that. “I want to go to the hospital.”

Sol gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly until his knuckles turned white. “Okay.”

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

Chaos stood at the mouth of a thin pathline, where many dead souls of abomination creatures roared at his right and left, trying to claw at him and attack him.

But apparently, as long as he walked on this thin pathline, he would be fine. He just needed to walk until the end of it.

It sounded simple and there was no actual danger that would come to him, but Chaos knew there was no such thing.

Those creatures that flanked his path came from thousands of centuries ago. Many of them were older than him by centuries and they were so powerful, Chaos could feel it.

And now, those creatures were in disarray, as they were trying to reach him, saying something from an ancient language that Chaos couldn’t understand.

He walked along that path, without paying them any attention and focused on his own purpose, to find Blue’s soul as soon as possible.

But, after some time, Chaos heard a cracking sound, as if glass was broken, only to find out that the shield that was meant to protect him was broken and made those monsters excited to reach him.
