Untamed: The Alpha

52 THE PRICE

If you want change, you have to invite chaos.

*******************

“You asked the wrong person,” Knox said, his dark blue eyes stared at the alpha of the silver river pack intently.

He knew them, but it had been years since their last encounter and he didn’t think their paths would cross again, yet apparently, they found themselves in this situation.

“If you want the little girl, you can go to Chaos. She is not mine. She belongs to Chaos.” He leaned his back against the backrest of the chair he was sitting in. They were only separated by a small table, as there were only the three of them inside this room.

“She belongs to us.” Anthony emphasized every word he said. “She is from our kind. She doesn’t belong to any of you.”

Knox shrugged his shoulders. “Obviously, Chaos doesn’t think that way.”

Anthony’s expression hardened. They had wasted twenty minutes talking to Knox, so he could bring his niece to him, thus they didn’t need unnecessary fighting over something that was clearly his, but unfortunately, just like Gael, Knox didn’t want to be involved in this and make the matter easier. He insisted that his niece belonged to Chaos and only that abomination creature could make a decision for the little girl.

.....

“We will take her, no matter what.” Anthony stood up from his seat,. Regardless of how many reasons he threw at Knox’s face, he didn’t think this man would budge and eventually understand their situation. This man simply didn’t care about this matter.

On the other hand, Mateo followed his alpha’s gesture. They were ready to leave.

“You are welcome to do as you please.” Knox opened his hands, as a sign that he wouldn’t bother to stop him. “But, this is only a wise reminder from an old friend...” Knox stood up from his seat, so they were at eye level now. “You know Chaos, violence is his forte.”

You wouldn’t want to meet Chaos with violence, as the result would be something unimaginable.

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

Blue was about to walk home with Nikolai when she caught sight of Gael’s tacky red car. She squinted her eyes and pretended that she didn’t see it.

“White, how long are you going to pretend you didn’t see me?” Gael drove the car right beside Blue and Nikolai.

Blue threw him a glare, because he called her white and drove the ugly colored car beside her.

“Get in the car,” Gael said impatiently. He had made time to pick this annoying girl up, thus he wouldn’t want to entertain her glaring fit.

“I am walking home with Nikolai,” Blue said sullenly, she ignored the look that Nikolai gave her, asking her to be more polite to this man.

“I can go home alone,” Nikolai said quietly, but then he completely shut his mouth when he got his share of Blue’s cynical glare.

“Oh, hey boy, nice to see you.” Gael waved his hand at Nikolai and the little boy shyly waved his back. “Are you the one for whom she has brought extra lunch for?”

“Oh,” the boy mumbled and his face turned red. “Yes, I...”

“Great! Do you want to have lunch with uncle? Get in the car.” Gael nodded to the back seat and stopped his car, as he came out to carry Nikolai himself and put him on the backseat.

Blue was about to protest, but Gael had already closed the door and leaned against it.

“If you don’t want to go, I will take your little boyfriend with me.” Gael smirked when he watched how Blue hissed, ready to claw his face. He always loved to play with danger and this girl would be a real danger in a matter of years from now on. “Your choice.”

And then without waiting for her answer, he entered his car.

“Get out from there,” Blue told Nikolai.

The window of the backseat rolled down and Nikolai’s small face appeared. He looked pitiful when he spoke, “But, he has my bag.” He pointed his index finger at his backpack that was confiscated by Gael.

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

It was a rare occasion for his parents to take him to a shopping center, let alone as big as this, since there would be nothing that they could afford, because his family needed to save money.

Therefore, when Gael took him and Blue into this big shopping center, Nikolai couldn’t stop looking around him in fascination, especially when this man bought him a delicious cone of ice cream.

He wanted to keep it, so he could let his sister taste it too, but it was not possible, because the ice cream would melt if he didn’t eat it.

“Why did you bring me here?” Blue asked, enjoying her vanilla ice cream, well her annoyance was easily taken care of when she had something that she liked.

“Like you know, I will get married in three days, but you have not bought your dress yet.” Gael ushered the two children inside a fancy boutique, where many beautiful and expensive dresses were on full display.

“I will not go.”

“Why not?”

“I have homework.”

“I will do your homework.”

“That’s cheating.”

Gael shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. “I have done worse.”

And an hour later, Blue had tried on various beautiful dresses that made Nikolai unable to take his eyes off her.

Not because she looked extremely beautiful. Well, she was beautiful, but when he knew the price for each dress that Blue was wearing, he dared not to touch it. He wouldn’t be able to afford it if the dress was ruined.

However, Blue simply tossed one aside if she didn’t like it.

“I want one in the color blue,” she insisted.

“But my wedding concept is white, you silly girl.”

And the female employee there gave a solution for the two.

“Okay,” both of them agreed and Nikolai grimaced once again when he saw the price.
