Untamed: The Alpha-Chapter 476 - 476 DON’T TELL ANYONE ABOUT IT

476 DON’T TELL ANYONE ABOUT IT

This was absurd. This was not something that should happen. This couldn’t be true.

Those words were a few words that kept ringing in Zuri and Eros’s mind when they finally solidified the truth.

They had met around seven years ago and knew the bond was there, but because years had passed and they thought they wouldn’t cross path, it didn’t occur to them if something very absurd like this was going to happen.

They were standing in different side of bridge, they could avoid each other just fine, even the doubt about their mate bond was there.

They had their own precious one, someone that was important to them and the person that they would do anything. This mate bond between them was insane.

However, just when they thought things couldn’t get any worse than this, the universe proved them wrong.

“What are you doing?” Colton approached Eros with Josh was right behind him. The gamma frowned when he saw how pale Eros was, as if he was seeing a ghost, but even if he saw a ghost, he wouldn’t make that kind of face, right? “What are you seeing?” Out of instinct, he followed Eros’s line of sight and found someone that he recognized right away.

There was no way he could forget her, her white hair was too astounding for anyone to forget. That was the remark that gave away her identity.

“Zuri…” Colton mouthed her name, he blinked his eyes in disbelieved, he thought by doing so, her figure would disappear, but that didn’t happen. He was too caught up with this surprised, until he missed the way Eros reacted to this girl.

.....

“Who is her?” Josh asked Colton, as he looked at the gamma and the beta back and forth. “Why both of you looked at her like that?”

When Zuri was still in the pack, he was still very young and didn’t pay much attention to her, thus it was easy to forget about the girl with white hair that had killed the firstborn of alpha Xerxes at that time. He didn’t pay close attention to that.

Only when Josh mentioned about their reaction, Colton snapped out of his reverie and then turned to look at Eros.

Josh was right, there was something wrong with Eros’s reaction. He was not someone, who would be easily shocked, moreover, they didn’t know each other, did they?

But then, Colton remembered that Eros had asked about a girl in white hair in the past, it was only a casual question, but it stuck with Colton, since he shouldn’t be so curious about her in the first place.

“Do you know her?” Colton looked at Eros sharply. This was only a rhetorical question, since his strong respond wouldn’t suit the situation if he denied it. “Do you know her?” Colton needed to ask him for the second time and shook his shoulder before he could get the answer from him.

Eros finally snapped out of his reverie and broke the appalling spell between them. He directed his gaze toward Colton.

The word ‘no’ was already on the tip of his tongue when he was about to answer him, but from his eyes, he knew that he couldn’t fool this man.

“We met seven years ago when I went to a journey to the east draghar with Li… the alpha.” Eros tried his hard to not look at Zuri again, but when the girl moved, his eyes followed her without him knowing it.

“You know her?” Colton narrowed his eyes. He followed Eros’s line of sight again and found Zuri was walking toward the convenient store. Should he come to talk with her? But, what he was going to talk to her? They were not in a talking term with each other.

When Zuri was in the pack, Colton didn’t really give her a hard time, but he didn’t help her, it was in his nature to stay away from trouble, yet this trait was the thing that could make him stayed in his position for a long time and had less people, who hated him.

“I just know her by passing,” Eros replied, he watched until Zuri entered the convenient store and tore his attention away from her. it was a great deal for Eros not to chase after his newly found mate. The pull was very strong and this made his whole body trembled.

“Are you okay?” Colton asked him. He could see how pale Eros was when he eyed him suspiciously. This couldn’t be possible, right?

Both Colton and Josh followed behind him.

“I am fine,” Eros replied in low voice, but then he turned around and looked at Josh. “You.”

“What? What about me?” Josh raised both of his hands in surrendered gesture, his blood raced to his head, trying to remember if he had done something wrong that could possibly incur his wrath.

“You drive the car,” Eros said grimly. “I am tired.”

“Okay,” Josh mumbled. “If you want me to drive the car, you don’t need to give me that dead glare, right?” he muttered under his breath and stopped himself when Colton threw him a dagger look. he would only ruin Eros’s already sour mood by his comment.

Colton went to Emily’s side and opened the door for her. “You can sit on the back.”

Emily was surprised. She didn’t want to sit next to Josh and Colton should have known that, but when she saw Josh was sitting behind the wheel, she gave a questioning look at Colton and looked for Eros, who was already sitting on the backseat.

“Eros is tired, Josh will be driving.” Colton gave her a brief explanation and without waiting for another second, Emily scurried away to the back seat and sat quietly next to Eros.

She stared at his empty hand and slightly frowned. Didn’t he say that he would buy her grilled sausage, but why he didn’t bring it with him? And what happened with this atmosphere? It felt so heavy.

Emily was staring at the crowded street, so she missed entirely the event that occurred earlier.

“Eros, are you feeling unwell?” Emily nudged his arm, this heavy atmosphere came from him, as if his body emanated gloomy mood.

“I am fine.” The answer was curt and indicated he didn’t want to talk anymore, which shut Emily up immediately.

What had happened until he acted like this? He only went to buy her grilled sausage, right?

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

Zuri went to the innermost of the convenient store and when she was sure no one followed her, her legs finally gave up and she fell to the floor, her whole body was trembling.

She met Colton again, but even that event was overshadowed with the fact she met him. Her mate. The young boy that escaped from the dragon rage in the Kale city seven years ago. He looked so mature now. He grew taller and looked more like a man rather than a young boy.

But, that was not it. He was Chaos’s shattered soul.

She needed to tell Chaos about this and the fact that he came here with Colton, it meant he stayed in Gael’s hotel, right? Gael had told her there were people from shadow moon pack, who would stay there.

It meant, she would meet him again as long as he stayed there. He wouldn’t know that she was there as well…

But, what she had to say to Chaos?

Zuri really wanted to laugh when she remembered what Gael had told her about opening his hotel to all kind of people with various background, it was for them to be able to easily find Chaos’s shattered soul and now here it was…

Without her noticing, she was laughing, the tension was surreal and the whole situation was really preposterous.

“Miss, are you all right?” a young girl, who worked in this convenient store heard her laughing and came to check on her. “What happened?” she looked a little bit startled to find Zuri was sitting on the floor, she was afraid that she was a crazy, mad person, but she dressed so well for her to assume that.

Zuri hiccupped and then shook her head, she smiled softly at the perplexed worker girl and then stood up. She patted her jeans and spoke in depressing tone. “No need to worry, I am just having a bad day.”

It was not sure whether the worker understood that, but she nodded regardless.

“I will take these.” Zuri took a bottle of cold water and a can of beer and after she went to the car, River had been waiting for her, she looked calmer than when she left her there.

“What happened? What took you so long?” she asked, concern in her voice. “Are you okay? You are sweating.” River extended her hand and wiped layer of sweat from her forehead. It was strange because the weather was rather cold tonight.

“I am fine,” Zuri smiled to reassure her.

However, River was not sure about that, she tilted her head to look at her closely. “Do you meet someone? I saw you staring at someone and you just… stupefied.” She needed to find the right word to describe it, but then she saw a can of beer in her laps. “You want to drink? You can’t. We will go to the café, right?”

However, Zuri didn’t care about that silly café. “River. Don’t tell anyone about it.” Zuri was dead serious.
