Untamed: The Alpha
Chapter 401

401 PLAYING FAMILY

It had been a month since she came to this village. Chaos had been recuperating, thus he rarely used his power, unless it was necessary while most of the time he would fall asleep.

He would only wake up to eat and then bother Zuri and in the end, he would fall asleep again.

Even now, he was sleeping beside her, while Zuri was staring out the window, listening to the sound of the rain outside. It seemed the rainy season had already begun...

Zuri hummed the only song that she was fond of, as she drew mindless circles on Chaos’ arm that hugged her so close, while the man snuggled into her neck. His warm breath caressed her bare shoulder, while his long, black hair tickled her face and chest.

Chaos had been sleeping for more than five hours now. He fell asleep right after their intimate moment and now it seemed he wouldn’t wake up until another hour.

In the beginning, Zuri would be worried when he slept for more than eighteen hours straight, but right now, she knew that he just needed time to recover from what happened in Kalee city.

Sometimes, Zuri would wonder what happened in that place, but then she chose to not think about that, because she wanted to cherish her time in this village, though this very place still felt like a mystery to her and she had not yet had time to talk about it with Chaos, since he would always be asleep.

“Chaos... what if we can’t be together even in this lifetime? What are you going to do?” Zuri muttered to herself, while outside, the rain kept pouring down the earth with the sky so dark and gloomy. She felt so Blue at moments like this and vulnerable.

Zuri hugged Chaos tightly and then looked at his sleeping face, he didn’t look like the man who wanted to kill her a month ago. He looked so peaceful right now, asleep like this.

.....

Zuri leaned over to kiss his forehead and then the tip of his nose, but he didn’t wake up at all. How could he sleep like this? He used to be so vigilant and would easily wake up, but right now, he had his guard completely down.

“I really wish we can stay like this forever, don’t you think so? I wish I could remember this moment...” she whispered into his ear and then kissed his lips.

After staring at his sleeping face for a while, gradually, Zuri felt sleepy and then she too closed her eyes, while outside, the rain didn’t seem to stop any time soon. The smell of the earth that was carried over by the wind lulled her into a deep slumber.

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

Zuri was lazing around, as she rested her head against the windowsill when she watched Chaos walk toward this apartment, bringing a few plastic bags with him. Since he had been sleeping the whole week, Zuri told him to stretch out and go out to buy groceries.

You should see the expression on Chaos’ face when Zuri told him to go buy groceries by himself. It almost looked like Zuri just told him that she would disappear into thin air.

“I am serious,” Zuri said at that time, but Chaos simply ignored her and went back to bed, yet Zuri kept bothering him.

It was not because she couldn’t do it herself, but she just wanted to bother him, that was all. It was nice to see him grumbling like that and who would have thought that someone like Chaos would be willing to do something like that?

“Just tell me what you want, I will get it for you,” Chaos said with a gentle laugh when Zuri didn’t want to leave him alone, as she tried to climb on his body and wouldn’t let him fall asleep again.

She must be lonely because Chaos often left her alone, but he couldn’t help it. The after effects were very strong and he needed to rest so he could stabilize his energy, to make sure the dark side of him was still under his control.

“No, I want you to go to the grocery store at the end of this street,” Zuri said in a demanding tone, as she snuggled against his neck.

For a moment, Chaos didn’t reply to her and she raised her head to look at his face, thinking that he had fallen asleep again, but the man was playing with her hair. “Are you trying to make fun of me?” he asked softly, as he stared into her hazel eyes.

Hearing that, Zuri smiled sheepishly. “I have never seen you do such mundane stuff, so I am just curious how it will look like when you do it,” Zuri said in a timid voice, but the excitement on her face was very clear to see.

“Will you be happy to see me do such things?” Chaos pushed Zuri’s hair to one of her shoulders and then traced down his slender finger on her bare neck, she was only wearing a tank top and her undies, as she straddled him on the bed.

“Hm, it must be fun to see you do that,” Zuri said. She didn’t know where she got this idea from or how she could convince him to do grocery shopping alone, but in the end, she managed to do that.

And here she was, watching Chaos walk back to their apartment with two big bags in each hand, as he looked at her, while walking down the street.

“Seriously...” Hades appeared right behind Zuri, as the girl couldn’t stop giggling when she watched Chaos.

Hearing that familiar voice, Zuri immediately turned around and found Hades sitting on the edge of her bed, leaning his back against the headboard.

Due to his position, of course, Chaos wouldn’t be able to see him.

“Are you playing family with him?” Hades asked in a mocking tone. “I don’t understand what is in your mind...”
