Untamed: The Alpha

468 LUCINDA CITY

Eros couldn’t stop his anger after what he heard about what Liam had done to Zuri and how he had manipulated her. She was very young when all of that happened and he knew about all of this was too late.

Eros felt so stranger, because he shouldn’t feel like this, since that girl was not his concern and the event occurred more than a decade ago, but... he couldn’t deny the fact that she was his mate and this stupid bond made him felt the anger that he couldn’t explain.

“He was the epitome of an evil...” he coughed and then corrected himself. “He is an evil person.”

Xerxes then proceeded to tell Eros why he shouldn’t trust Liam. He gave countless reasons why he couldn’t trust him, even though he appeared to help you, there would be price behind it.

“That girl should have... a child by now if Liam didn’t... get involve and everything went smooth... the way I planned...” he grunted, through his hazy eyes, there was annoyance that he couldn’t hide.

However, Xerxes failed to see the imminent danger in Eros’s eyes when he heard all of his blabber. The young lycan was trying to hold himself back, the beast inside of him was trying to claw his way out and strangled this man to dead, because the more he listened to him, the more he wanted to make him suffer.

Sharp- razor claws emerged from the tip of his fingers, in one strike, he would be able to decapitate this old man, sending him straight to hell, but his conscience kept telling him that Emily would be in a great trouble for this and he couldn’t do that to her.

No, at least not now. His position was still so weak, even though he was the beta of the pack, but Liam was the one, who was in charge for everything. He was the alpha.

There was a realization that flashed in his dark blue eyes.

.....

Should he become an alpha? So, no one would be able to threaten him again and he could do whatever he wanted.

It had never occurred to him before this. Eros simply accepted every order and demand that Liam asked from him, even though he didn’t like it.

But, even after what he had done, his life and Emily’s didn’t seem to be good as well, these stupid shifters still couldn’t accept him.

If they couldn’t accept him as one of them, then they shouldn’t have any qualm when he became an alpha of this pack, right?

They could keep ignoring him, but they wouldn’t ignore his order...

If they hated him and Emily for no reason, just because they were different, it would be better if he gave them a solid reason for that now.

“Eros,” Emily called him, as she walked into the room to warn him that their time had run out, they should go from here now. “It has been an hour, we have to get out of here now,” she said in low voice.

“Is there a guard?” Eros asked her calmly, as his claws retracted back. His dark expression looked a little bit better now when he looked at her.

“There was a guard patrolling around this area, but I think he didn’t see me or even realize that we are here,” Emily informed him. Thanked to her, they could mask their scent and it was such a great help for time like this.

Meanwhile, Emily rummaged the desk and found a syringe that she used to inject Xerxes, so the frail man would go back to sleep again.

“Let’s get out from here,” Eros said, after Emily had done to put him into a deep slumber.

Eros didn’t say anything to Hazel about how many time that he would visit him again, but somehow, aside from all the negative feeling and thought that she felt, Emily enjoyed this little secret and their short walked together in the middle of the night.

Eros had been so busy recently and so she did, therefore, she cherished every second that she could spend with him, even though the risk was not a joke at all, because once the alpha knew about this, their punishment would be dire.

“Thank you for tonight, Em.” Eros grabbed her hand and led their way out of here.

Emily bit her lips nervously and watched his broad back, he always positioned himself in front of her, so if there was something bad happened, she was well protected.

“Hm,” She mumbled as a response. “You don’t need to mention it.”

And with that they walked away from this area, back to their bedroom.

Emily stole a glance at Eros, she wondered why he didn’t say anything about their kiss earlier, he seemed to act like that had never happened, or maybe it’s because she was too sensitive right now?

What response that she expected actually?

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

Skylar was very upset to know that Zuri came along with them, despite Chaos’s disagreement, she couldn’t help but complaining along the way.

However, Zuri simply closed her eyes and fell asleep. She had a lot of things to think of and Skylar’s protest didn’t even get a tiny bit space in her mind.

Knox brought them with him to the nearest city near Lucinda city, Grende city, to get a car for the three of them, while Chaos and Knox could teleport themselves straight to Gael’s place, the three of them needed to follow the procedure.

They should get into the city through the main entrance and followed all the stringent checks to get into the city.

There was nothing to be worried about that, having stayed in that city for near a decade, Gael had put many people inside the government, thus it was easier to do this with his help.

When July and Sebastian came to this place, Gael had done the same thing to them and help them to settle in.

Apparently, based on what Gael had told them, since the join military between Artzees country and East Draghar in order to subdue the dragon, this country had strong armed in their neighbor country and started to invade them politically and militarily, since they didn’t have any experience to deal with the supernatural creature.

Artzees used that reason to prolong their stay and start meddling in state affairs, thus in six years, it was hard to tell, who was the leader of the East Draghar country right now, since all the regulation needed to be approved not by them.

Therefore, military power in this country was divided and many young people were serving in the military, because they needed a lot of manpower.

If the Hound was getting stronger, then it meant, Artzees could finally drive away the supernatural creature from their land and their main target was the McKeltar and Shadow moon pack, which the two of them were the epitome of what they hated the most, where many supernatural creatures gathered around, flocking with each other like disease.

They could take back Fokosa city from the McKeltar and Aldrian city from shadow moon pack, the rest of it would follow, because once they took down their biggest threat, the remaining of the supernatural creatures would be so easy to get rid of. They were akin to pest.

“Finally...” Norbeat sighed begrudgingly after all the trouble that they had to go through just to enter this city. He raised both of his hands after he came out of the car and stretched out his arms and legs.

In front of them was a hotel building, it was not that big, but it was quite decent for this city, since the location was not favorable.

However, the main function of this hotel was beyond what people in this city knew. It was a lowkey place for supernatural creatures to gather around under the government nose, this place alone was a mockery for them.

“Shut up, Skylar, or I will add more scar on your face,” Norbeat growled at Skylar, who was still grumbling about Zuri, though the girl didn’t pay any attention at all.

Skylar threw him a dagger look and walked toward the car trunk to get her suitcase, while Zuri simply took her backpack and walked straight to hotel lobby along with Norbeat, leaving her behind.

However, when Zuri was about to enter the building, she caught a glimpse of a shadow that darted toward her, out of instinct, she raised her hand, ready to attack this person, until his familiar scent engulfed her.

“Heaven! You are so big already!” Gael screamed, while hugging Zuri, the way he did when she was a child and this taken her by surprised. “Look at you! You are a woman now! You are not a little girl anymore!” he was so excited to see her.

“Don’t be overly dramatic.” Zuri kicked his leg and freed herself from his suffocating hug. “We met five years ago,” she said impassively.

“You said that was a meeting? I barely saw you at that time,” Gael said begrudgingly, crossing his arms in front of his chest in disagreement.

Zuri waved her hand, didn’t seem to interest to talk about that. “Is Knox here?”

Gael raised his brows, surprised. “Why are you asking about Knox?” They were not close, right? “And moreover, why do you only bring a backpack? Is the rest of your things still in the car?” He asked in bewilderment.
