Untamed: The Alpha

311 AN UGLY NIGHT

Aaron told Liam a few things about Eros’ mate. He said that he would find that young lycan’s mate in a bar named Neon Night, but that devil didn’t say precisely in which part of the bar that he could find her.

The devil only told him that she was someone that he knew, therefore when Liam entered the bar, he expected to see someone that he had met before. He looked at every girl there closely so as not to miss anyone, thinking if he had met them before this.

Yet, he could recognize no one there.

He had never been in this place before, let alone in this city. Thus, it was no wonder that he knew nobody here.

Only when he got a distress mind link from Eros, telling him that he was being hunted down by a shifter, he rushed out of the bar.

It was easy to track down Eros’ scent because he had gotten used to him, which led him to this playground area.

A man with piercing blue eyes was holding Eros captive. He forced the young lycan to kneel, by bending his hands behind him with one hand while gripping his nape with the other.

Not many people knew about this, but when you held down a shifter nape and forced them to kneel, in that position, they wouldn’t be able to shift into their beast. This was the safest way to handle a shifter without killing them.

“Hee... what are you?” Killian tilted his head, while tightening his grip on Eros’ nape and arms.

.....

“Give him back to me,” Liam said calmly, he looked at Eros, who was trying to escape his caotor’s clutches desperately, but he couldn’t do anything more than growling viciously at the strange man, who chased him down without any explanation. “He is my beta.”

“He... your beta? But, he is a lycan.” Killian closed his eyes and smelled the air. “A rare creature. I like him. He is mine now.”

Liam could feel that the man he was facing right now was a shifter, but absolutely he was not a werewolf. What is he?

“You can’t take a member of mine as you please.” Liam was very calm. He tried to analyze the situation. Aside from this man, there was another man beside him. He looked young, with red hair and crooked nose, yet he was not a shifter. A human? Why would a human be with a supernatural creature? He didn’t get it.

“Why not? I want him. I’ll get him.” Killian tilted his head, as if he was challenging Liam with his statement. He wanted to see what he was going to do if he said something like that.

He wouldn’t mind if he had to fight him. It was great to vent out some frustration because he had to behave and hold himself back.

“Let him go.” This time Liam’s voice was deeper and darker, as he realized there was no way this would end amicably.

“Or what?” Killian chuckled, as he tightened his grip on Eros further. It was easy to handle this young lycan. It had been decades since the last time he saw a lycan. He would be a great addition to his collection.

Oh, he couldn’t collect him, since he was Chaos’ shattered soul, that man would have killed him right away, like he did to the lycan that he collected before. What a pity...

“Liam?”

A soft woman’s voice echoed in this quiet playground, which was filled with tension and made all of the people there turn their attention toward Zuri, who walked carefully toward them.

“Zuri?” Liam furrowed his brows. He felt his mind freeze right at that moment when he tried to put the pieces together.

Impossible. This was impossible, right? Something that shouldn’t happen...

But, Eros and Zuri?

Liam narrowed his eyes, as he looked at the young lycan closely and recognized the way he looked at Zuri. It was different. His gaze was filled with curiosity and inquisitiveness.

And even though Zuri didn’t show it bluntly, it was there, the same feeling that Eros gave off when he watched the girl move closer.

This was interesting, but also troublesome...

To say that Liam was not on good terms with Zuri was an understatement and now he was outnumbered and outpowered. After all, Zuri was the best fighter that his pack ever had.

This wouldn’t end well.

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

Emily curled her body at the corner of her room, hugging her legs, as she tried to protect herself from Kyle and the other three boys, who barged into her room and took inappropriate pictures of her.

Kyle pushed the door very hard once Emily unlocked it, smashing the door against her face, and made her nose bleed in the process, as she stumbled back.

She didn’t have time to push back the door when all of them rushed into the room and started taking pictures of her.

Emily loved to wear dresses when she went to sleep, cute strawberry dresses or something that had a flowery pattern on it.

Therefore, it was easy for them to pick her dress up and take a pic of her panties and laugh at her face after finding out the color of her panties she was wearing.

“What is it? You match your dress with your panties?” Josh laughed harder, as he shared the pictures to all of them and of course. They wouldn’t end up in the phones of the four of them, they would also be sent to however many people they could reach... maybe even each and everyone of their contacts.

“You are a freak. Freak human... what a trash.”

Emily felt humiliated and was not able to fight back. And the only thing she could do was cry, she wanted them to get out of her room.

Fortunately, they didn’t stay for long. Once they got what they wanted, they left her there, in a pool of her own tears.

“Stop crying, you only make me want to do something more,” Kyle scoffed at her, as he walked out of the bedroom with all of his friends.

Though it didn’t even last more than five minutes, this was the most traumatizing moment that she ever happened to face.

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

“What do you mean there will be anarchy in this city?” Sol narrowed his eyes at Vanesha, he watched how the girl moved around swiftly.

Before this, he barely paid any attention to her, thinking that she was only a teenager that wanted to sleep with him, thus he used her; for both finding out about all the information related to River and to warm his bed.

She was willing to do that and even though this was against his morals, Sol had long thrown such things out of his life.

“There will be an uproar, someone will attack the facility and take down the government. Therefore, I want you to stay away from the headquarters.” Vanesha kept talking, as she did something on his computer, her fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard, as her eyes stayed glued to the monitor.

“Stop this.” Sol grabbed Vanesha’s hand and pulled her closer to him. “What do you mean by this?”

“On the twenty third, three months from now, stay away from the headquarters, go to a safe place or hide yourself.” Vanesha looked at him firmly. “You won’t want to be here.”

Sol gritted his teeth, as he tightened his grip on Vanesha’s hand, but the girl didn’t flinch at all, this was not the first time Sol treated her roughly. She kinda liked it.

“Explain about it or I will alert the organization.”

Vanesha shook her head. “You are under tight security, they don’t trust you. Your father is struggling to keep his power because people who oppose your stay in the organization have grown in number. They don’t want you there because they think you are not capable enough.”

Sol knew that he didn’t have a knack for running this organization like Jasmine did. He had known it since the very beginning.

“You don’t need to worry, I will protect you.” Vanesha caressed his cheek and tiptoed to kiss him on the lips. “You are mine.”

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

Once Zuri was sure that was Liam, all the memories rushed back to her head. The pain that she endured because of his malicious plan.

He didn’t do anything to her. Not directly, but he orchestrated all of that, he had planned the whole thing and set her up.

That night.

No matter how much she tried to forget about it or to push it back to the back of her mind, sometimes it would resurface, catching her off guard every single time. And seeing Liam right now, only made her feel like she had to face those fears and resentments all over again.

“Zuri, I didn’t come for you.” Liam raised both of his hands and took a step back when he saw the unwavering bloodlust in those hazel eyes. They used to be so close in the past, or at least, as close as one could get to someone like Zuri. “I will take my man and I will leave you alone here, okay? Let bygones be bygones.”

Bygones be bygones?

Zuri scoffed. He used her. Not only once. Now that the damage had been done, he wanted her to forget that? Yes, she would forget that after she had his head.

At that thought, Zuri leapt ahead and shifted into her white wolf.

“Oh, no...” Norbeat mumbled under his breath. Chaos had warned Zuri to not shift in front of Killian, but that was exactly what she did right now.

Grimacing, Norbeat tilted his head to look at Killian’s expression...
