Untamed: The Alpha

218 HER WISH TO DIE

Eros opened his eyes when he felt this strong feeling of sadness and anger and then agony and another feeling that he couldn’t explain, but one that surely disturbed him greatly, overwhelmed his whole being.

He raised his hand to touch his face, but then he felt tears on his cheeks. Seeing his fingers wet with his own tears, this made the little boy frown deeply.

Did he cry in his sleep? It was hard to believe because something like this had never happened before.

“Awake?”

Eros snapped his head toward the source of the voice and found Liam was staring at him. Out of instinct, he looked down. He saw Emily was still fast asleep, leaning her head against his shoulder.

Eros pulled the blanket around her body and she snuggled closer, snoring softly when she found a comfortable position.

Seeing this, Liam smirked. He took note of everything. How this human girl was so fond of the young lycan and so was the boy toward her.

“Where are we?” Eros asked, he looked at the street out there and found that they were still stuck in a traffic jam, even though midnight had long passed and the pale light of the sun could be seen painting the horizon.

“We are slightly behind the schedule because of what’s happening now in Fokosa city,” Liam told him, giving the young boy a little bit of information about what was happening.

.....

Eros didn’t say anything, he just stared at the busy street out there. They were out of harm’s way now, he hoped...

Eros then glanced again at Emily’s sleeping face and wiped the dirt from the tip of her nose with his thumb. Her long hair was disheveled and she needed to take a bath. It would be the first thing that she needed to do once they arrived at whatever place that this man took them.

“You adore her,” Liam stated, he didn’t miss even a little gesture that Eros did to Emily and the young lycan was too ingenuous to know better than to show that kind of gesture, as it would be used against him.

Eros said nothing and turned his head to look at the traffic jam outside. He was hungry. He forgot the last time he ate, since he gave everything that could be deemed edible to Emily once they started fleeing.

It was every shifter’s nature to be overprotective over something or someone important to them...

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

“Chaos.”

Chaos knew there was someone that approached him and since he didn’t sense any malicious intentions from that person and moreover, this someone was a soul that he knew, he didn’t do anything.

“Chaos, is that Blue?” Knox asked him, as he walked closer to the man, who was hugging a girl in his arms. Knox couldn’t see her face, but her white hair gave away her identity. “Chaos, you have been holding her for a long time, I think we need to do a quick check on her.”

Knox had been watching Chaos for over two hours now, after all the crack on the ground stopped spreading, and even though the soil didn’t return to its original shape, at least there was no new crack unexpectedly.

Knox had put July and the others in a safe place before he came to find Chaos. He had been holding Zuri for a long time now and from what he saw, the girl didn’t make any movement.

He wasn’t really worried that something would happen to Zuri, but if something bad happened to her, Chaos probably would wreak havoc again and that was what he cared about.

“Chaos, let’s take her out of here.” He still tried to coax him, but he didn’t budge. Therefore, reluctantly, Knox took a step closer. He didn’t want to be in Chaos’ reach, who knew what he would do? The last time he even tried to claim his soul even though he had been sober enough, let alone right now, when he was not in the right state of mind.

Again, Chaos didn’t listen to him. His red eyes trailed Zuri’s sleeping face down to her lips and then her neck, where he spotted the mark, glaring angrily because it still had not formed any shape yet, indicating that Zuri was still not willing to accept that mark. She would never be willing and the mark would be forever like that...

Chaos let out a low and deep growl when he caught sight of that mark again. He traced his finger on the mark and felt the skin was slightly rough to his touch.

And... it happened.

Chaos saw it. The rickety hut. The woman who had guided Zuri to that place. The smell of the hut. The man and the alpha. The heat. And Zuri...

Her hazel eyes ablaze with anger and helplessness. Her lips pressed together in order to not cry out loud. She felt defenseless and vulnerable.

And that was when Chaos heard it.

Zuri called out to him. She called his name, so loud, though she didn’t say it. She called him for help before she gave up. When she surrendered under the first phase of waning crescent moon...

She called his name weakly.

Chaos felt his whole body shaking with anger when he watched how that man touched her and how Zuri couldn’t resist the heat that tortured her.

He could see tears and pain in her eyes. The way she felt disgusted at herself for not being able to fight back and how she cried out loud at every touch that she felt creeping on her skin.

It reminded Chaos of the look in Zuri’s eyes when he touched her. The pain in her eyes when she was not able to stand physical contact with other people.

That night wrecked her and that man had ruined her, but when she called out to him, he was nowhere to be found.

He was not able to protect her and let this thing happen to her.

Chaos could hear Zuri’s wish to die...
