Untamed: The Alpha

312 A DRAGON SHIFTER

Zuri saw red when she saw Liam. It almost felt like all those nightmares had returned, barrelling to the front of her mind, without her being able to stop it. She couldn’t control herself when all she wanted right now was to kill him. Spill his blood on the ground.

He not only set up the worst and horrible moment of her life, but he had also betrayed her. His betrayal hurt like hell, since Liam was one of the few people that she could trust.

Broken trust was something that you would never forget, especially since it could leave a scar for such a long time.

Thus, with anger that was not able to be controlled, Zuri shifted into her beast form and now the white wolf stood there, growling viciously at Liam.

“Zuri, we can talk about this,” Liam said, as he raised both of his hands with his palms facing Zuri, as if to calm her down, yet there was nothing that could set her mind straight right now. She wanted blood and she would go for it.

The white beast lunged toward him, baring its fangs with claws as sharp as razors ready to tear his flesh. One late move from Liam and he would be done for, since Zuri aimed for his neck, the softest spot that could help one end his opponent’s life in one swift move.

Yet, before Zuri could reach him, Liam had shifted into his brown color beast and dodged the attack just in time before the white beast could knock him down for good.

At this point, there was nothing that he could do, but fight back. You would never be able to find a middle ground with a mad beast. It was either you or them, who would die and Zuri and Liam were in such an unpleasant situation.

However, what those beasts didn’t see coming was an outburst from a crazy beast. And to Norbeat’s dismay, that beast was Killian, who roared loudly upon seeing the white beast. He seemed to have completely lost it.

.....

“Oh... no... no...” Norbeat took a few steps back, as he could see what would happen next. He was no longer in that little boy’s body. Now, he was in his newly found teenage boy’s body that looked so skinny with a crooked nose and dirty blonde hair. “Killian... she is not them. You are mistaken.”

Despite what he said, he chose to run away from that scene, because he was not sure that his voice would be able to reach him in this state.

Loudly, despite the fight between the brown and white beasts, in the middle of the night, they could hear the sound of bones cracking, as though there were hundreds of bones that were being smashed at the same time.

Yet, what happened next was something that no one wanted to see or even imagine...

“No... this is bad. Where is my phone?” Norbeat searched for his phone in every pocket of his pants. He needed to call Knox, so he could deal with this, but then he remembered, the phone was still on the body of the little boy. He forgot to retrieve it earlier, because he was in a hurry to follow Killian and the young lycan. “Ah, shit.”

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

This room was so dark, save for the soft light of the moon that bathed every corner of it in its pale glow. Yet, the man that appeared all of a sudden, inside this room didn’t seem to have any problem walking around and finding the right crib.

There were two cribs inside this nursery room, which was where the alpha’s twin children were sleeping, after their wet nurse finished her duty.

No matter how tight the protection around this room was, it seemed that was not a big problem for this man, because he could walk without any sound and there was no scent on him whatsoever that could give away his existence.

The man walked toward one of the cribs and watched a baby girl open her golden eyes. The golden eyes were the symbol, bespeaking to whom this baby belonged.

“Emma?” Aaron called her name. “I don’t like that name,” he muttered to himself.

Emma was the name that Liam picked for his daughter, while the other one was named Aidan, yet the devil was not satisfied with that simple name. She would grow to be his bride after all. He wanted something more meaningful...

“What about ‘Morana’? Which means death.” Aaron looked at the baby, who was giggling, showing her toothless smile. “See? You like that name more...”

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

The fight between the two beasts was stopped abruptly when they saw a huge dragon appearing right before their eyes.

The size of this beast was enormous compared to the size of everything around the monster. It was akin to comparing an insect with a human.

The dragon’s roar was loud enough to shake the ground and make anyone who heard it tremble in fear. This was not any random beast that you would see everyday.

Not to mention that this East Draghar didn’t acknowledge non human existence. This country was very proud to declare that they had taken all the necessary measures to ensure there were no supernatural creatures in their land.

What a bullcrap...

They didn’t even realize that they had been living alongside the non human beings since the very beginning. They just had not discovered it yet.

And now, with this massive dragon right before their eyes, there was no way they could excuse themselves and parade their glory for being free of supernatural creatures.

Meanwhile, once Eros was freed from Killian’s grip, before he could fully shift into his dragon beast, the young lycan rushed to a safer place, as he was stunned to witness the transformation.

He would never have thought that a dragon existed in this realm. At least, not until a few minutes ago. It sounded impossible and absurd to even believe.

[We need to leave!] Liam mind linked Eros, pulling him out of his reverie upon seeing the size of the dragon before his eyes.

The young lycan was still stunned speechless, if he moved a little bit late or slow, he would have been crushed under its feet.

[Shift now!] Liam commanded Eros, as they needed to leave this scene, because they couldn’t be caught in the middle of this disaster.

Hearing the command, Eros immediately pushed himself off the ground and shifted into his black beast when he caught sight of the beautiful white beast.

He had never seen such a beautiful beast before. It was in the color of snow, there was not a single dark spot on her fur. She looked pure and pristine. And the beast moved with agility.

But, there was another thing that Eros realized. He couldn’t take his eyes off of the white beast. Even from the first moment he laid his eyes on her, there was this strange gravity that revolved around her and this led Eros to another realization, which was; the dragon was targeting her.

The dragon breathed fire, following the white beast’s movements, but barely burned her, since she could evade every attack swiftly, yet it caused this area to turn into a sea of fire.

The fire burned everything that it touched, without exception and in the far distance, behind this wall of fire, Eros could see people screaming, children crying. The air was filled with all kinds of noises, asking for help.

It reminded Eros of the situation years ago, when the city of Fokosa was brought down, because Chaos wreaked havoc there. He knew the creature named Chaos. Everyone did. He was the god of destruction.

However, not many people had seen his face. People only heard strings of horrible stories about all the horrendous things that he had done, some of them even sounded like a bunch of myths.

But, seeing how the white beast was struggling to get away from the dragon’s attacks, instead of listening to his alpha’s order, the black lycan rushed toward her to assist her in escaping this calamity.

Somehow, Eros’ body moved on its own accord. He didn’t know what got into him, but he didn’t want the white wolf to be harmed. It was so foolish of him in hindsight, knowing this dragon was her friend. But then, why did he want to kill her?

Eros, in his beast form, rammed into the side of the white wolf, so she could escape the ball of fire that was aimed at her, while he tried to dodge it himself.

After that, he stood next to the white beast, staring into her hazel’s eyes, while fire trapped them. It was hard to communicate when they couldn’t use the mind link, since there was no bond whatsoever between them.

However, there was a point when Zuri understood what he wanted to communicate to her and she let him lead the way, as both of them leapt over the fire, taking a high jump and landing on the other side of the fire wall.

Both beasts didn’t take a second to rest as they immediately dashed toward safety. The fire seemed to be helping them both as well. It actually served as a great cover for the two to escape.

Zuri didn’t know where she ran to, but she followed the black lycan without question. She followed his lead and he took them to a main street that was in an uproar. The result of people seeing a huge dragon in the middle of this otherwise peaceful city.

They passed all the people and moved in sync, as if they had known each other for a long time.
