Untamed: The Alpha

210 SHE SMELLED LIKE TRASH

Zuri started to realize that something was off when Hades gave the third direction that just made her run in circles.

The god of the underworld didn’t get her to be so far away from Chaos, but she didn’t move closer either. She was running in circles and not only that, he dared to waste her time by making her wait every now and then. Like when those vampires and werewolves were enjoying their prey and were on a hunting spree. Zuri listened to Hades and felt that she needed to wait until they were finished with their business to avoid confrontation.

Fuck this creature!

“Stay away from me,” Zuri growled at Hades, as she picked her pace in Chaos’ possible direction. She didn’t want to stay in her beast form because it would get her more attention than her human form.

At the very least, those beasts would be able to know that she was one of them through her scent, even though she was in her human form.

“Ah! That’s a hard request...” Hades murmured. “There is no way I want to be away from you,” he chuckled and then disappeared from where he was standing earlier.

It didn’t take a genius to guess where he would appear in the next second. Somehow, he had this infatuation to see Zuri, from a close range, just to piss her off or Chaos.

He didn’t care what happened in this realm. This was not his place and he wouldn’t be affected even if this realm ceased to exist.

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

.....

The black beast was panting, blood trickled down from his wounds. His body was littered with injuries and his healing ability was not fast enough for him.

However, despite being in a disadvantageous condition, the beast didn’t back down at all, he growled loudly and the sound of it shook the ground, his enemies could feel fear gripping their hearts tightly at the sight of the beast before them.

Eros was surrounded by the remaining five members of The Hound, while the other nine were lying on the ground. Dead.

The black beast single-handedly killed them all and this left them astounded. They knew that who they were facing right now was not an ordinary beast. He was a lycan. Their precious experimental subject that ran away a few weeks ago.

But, they wouldn’t have thought that he would be this strong, since Eros would be under sedation when he was in the facility. Moreover, he was only a little child, barely ten, but he could put down nine well trained men.

“There is a little girl over there!” One of them noticed Emily when she poked her head out of her hiding place.

The little girl was trembling, hugging her Mr. Bear and her bag. Eros had told her to not look, but she wanted to know what took him so long, and indeed, she regretted that she didn’t listen to him.

She was afraid. She just wanted Eros to be there for her, but those bad people kept fighting him, even though he didn’t do anything.

“We need to take her to a safe place!” the other man said, as the grip on their weapon tightened. “We have to attack now while the beast has not yet healed.”

Emily closed her eyes and ears when she heard what those people said, while mumbling, “Don’t hurt him. Don’t hurt him. Don’t hurt him.”

She had no one in this chaotic world and it was only Eros, who took care of her and the only person that she knew would never hurt her. Therefore, if they killed Eros, she would be all alone...

Emily was big enough to understand what was happening around her, but she couldn’t understand why they wanted to kill each other and why humans wanted to get rid of the non- human beings.

Eros was cruel, but he would never hurt anyone that didn’t hurt him. He never hurt Emily. He always looked after her since they ran away from that house. They didn’t know what happened to their ‘parents’, but they didn’t need to find out.

“Don’t kill him,” Emily whimpered when she heard a loud roar from behind her.

She was hiding behind an abandoned garbage truck, beside the road, while on her left was a huge building that had been ransacked.

Eros told her to stay there, so there were no shifters who could pick her scent, while he shooed away these people, but the men in that dark blue uniforms kept coming and the black beast was not in his best condition to fight now.

They would be able to catch him in no time.

Emily cried harder every time she heard the roaring sounds and something crashed, she didn’t dare to open her eyes and watched how they assaulted Eros.

It seemed taking forever for the little girl to finally realize that the growls had stopped and the people, who had been shouting orders were no longer talking and even the sound of gunshots stopped as well.

But, Emily didn’t dare to open her eyes, until someone touched her shoulder. She screamed at the top of her lungs because she was afraid that these people would take her away, which meant they managed to kill Eros.

However, she heard his voice.

“It’s me, it’s me,” Eros said, trying to avoid the little girl fists, as she tried to fight him, but he got punched twice in the process, since he couldn’t really get a hold of her. “Stop this, Emily, open your eyes.” Eros didn’t even raise his voice, he spoke as gently as before to her.

Emily stopped struggling when she heard Eros’ voice and slowly opened her eyes. She broke down into a crying mess when she found Eros kneeling in front of her, battered, bruised, bleeding, but alive.

“Eros... I thought you died.” She rushed to hug him and cried.

Eros hugged her back, he didn’t flinch, though she smelled like trash...
