Untamed: The Alpha

249 THE DARK EYES

Damon could feel it, there was something wrong with his body. Every time he tried to move, he felt this sharp ache, as if there were silver needles poking every inch of his skin.

Not to mention his vision started turning blurry as his labored breathing became so vivid to see. His mind was distraught by this fact, but this feeling of discomfort didn’t stop there, as he was able to feel his impending doom when he watched the black lycan prowled around him.

What happened to him? The brown wolf was trying to raise his head, but it was too heavy. Even walking was hard for him. Despite that, he tried his best to keep fighting, yet he felt his consciousness slip through his fingers bit by bit.

It was hard to say what was going on with him.

Poison.

The word came across his mind when he felt the black lycan deliver a harsh blow to his face and he roared in agony, as it was followed by another attack. The side of his stomach was torn open and fresh blood gushed out from the opened wound.

Right, he was poisoned. It felt like being poisoned, something that was very likely his alpha would do.

After all, he knew what Liam had done with the silver poison. He had given this to his brother, Emmet, so that he could slack off during the fighting practice as he could beat his poisoned opponents very easily. And now he had been poisoning his own father to prevent him from being healed after the white haired girl burned him.

The dosage must be right, because Liam didn’t want him dead, but he didn’t want him to heal either.

.....

Damon then tried to lift his head again to look in the alpha’s direction and saw how he was smiling at him.

Liam was smiling at him, as if he had been waiting for this moment.

Of course, he had been waiting for a moment like this, this was the perfect way to get rid of him. He had been wanting to replace him, but the fact that his position was so important and he knew too much until his knowledge could be used against himself prevented him from doing so.

And by challenging Eros, Damon just presented the perfect opportunity for Liam to do that.

Once this young lycan won the fight, he would be alive to fulfill the role of the beta. He was much easier to handle and control, since he had someone precious enough for him to go into this fight. Liam would surely hold on to the little girl and use her.

Damon tried to mind-link one of the people there, to tell them that this fight was not fair, that he had been poisoned, but he was too weak, he could reach no one.

And when he received another attack from the young lycan, his healing ability was too slow to help him recover.

The brown beast dropped dead on the field and people gasped, not expecting this outcome.

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

“Who is the guy on the motorcycle?” Zuri asked Chaos about that man when they walked along the busy streets in this city, where there were hundreds of taverns on either side of it.

People were laughing, talking, drinking to their hearts’ content. Zuri would avoid this kind of place if it was not for Chaos.

“Chaos?” Zuri asked him again, but he kept quiet. His eyes turned dark and she was not sure what that meant.

Usually, his eyes would turn dark when they couldn’t find a shattered soul for more than a week. He would turn snappier and become quieter.

However, it was only two days ago that they got a shattered soul, thus Zuri couldn’t wrap her mind around his sudden change.

The night in this part of the city was very loud and Zuri pressed her body so close to Chaos, because she didn’t want to bump into other people on this street.

She held onto his arm tightly, it felt like he was the safest place for her. No, he was indeed the safest haven for her.

Zuri looked around her as Chaos ignored her question like he didn’t want to say much. She tried to assess her surroundings, trying to find another shattered soul, probably after that, Chaos would return to his normal self.

But, when they walked past another alley, which was slightly quieter than the earlier one, Chaos suddenly pulled her hand and pushed her against the wall before starting to kiss her.

Zuri was surprised by this sudden change.

Yes, Chaos had kissed her before, she was sure that she didn’t feel any repulsion when he did so, but that kiss was very different from this.

Chaos literally wrapped his hand around her neck and pressed her body against the wall, while his other hand was resting on her hip possessively. He growled when Zuri put her palms on his chest, she could even feel the dangerous rumbling under her palms.

In her confusion, Zuri tried to understand what was going on, and let him kiss her the way he wanted, but she cried in pain when his sharp teeth tugged on her bottom lip and she could feel blood in her mouth.

“Chaos!” Zuri cried, panic took over her mind. She tried to push him hard, but he was way too strong for her and this scared her. Her body started trembling, as the images from the past of what Emmet had done to her emerged abruptly.

She could feel the repulsion gnawing in the back of her head and the ugly past that she had tried to bury came to haunt her again.

The pictures of herself under the light of the moon, naked, with Emmet making his way toward her started to get more and more vivid.

However, before the images became even more real and she was stuck in that part of her life, she could feel the pressure disappear, as Chaos stepped back almost in an instant when Zuri cried, and she fell to the ground, hugging herself.

“I am sorry...” Chaos whispered. His expression was filled with so much pain to see her like this and to realize he was the reason behind it.

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

Emily ran toward the back of the tribune, rushing to the room, where Eros was being taken care of by the healer after he won the battle against the beta.

He won the fight, but he was in a critical condition. He was unconscious and blood was still dripping from his open wounds. His healing ability couldn’t catch up to them, rendering him to need extra care from the healer.

Emily sniveled when they harshly chided her to stay back, saying that she would only disturb them by staying there, since she couldn’t help with anything.

They even went as far as shoving her out of the room, until her small body bumped into the wall behind her and then cursed at her.

If Eros was awake, he would have punched this man in the face for treating Emily like that, but unfortunately, he was in a condition where he couldn’t do much for her.

Emily sucked it up, she stifled her cries, as she went to stand on the side. She didn’t want to bother them, as they were trying to save her brother. But the way they snapped at her as they growled dangerously, while saying they would tear her limbs apart if she came in their way again, left the little girl trembling.

There were around five men inside the room and one healer, those men were furious about something and kept growling at Eros, though there was no way the young lycan would hear that.

Meanwhile, Ariana, the healer, was too busy to save Eros’ life to care about Emily.

After five minutes, that Emily felt like forever, finally alpha Liam came to this place. He glanced briefly at Emily and spoke softly to her before he entered the room.

“Go to your bedroom, I will send Eros there soon,” Liam said and then he closed the door behind him.

Emily wiped away her tears and immediately rushed back to her bedroom, she would wait for Eros there. He would be fine. Alpha Liam was there to help them and they would be fine...

Emily started to believe that among these vicious werewolves, the alpha was the only one that she could rely on aside from Eros.

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

Chaos pulled himself away from Zuri, who was still trembling. She had stopped crying, but her eyes were swollen as she still hugged herself, as if trying to keep herself together.

Her white hair scattered around her shoulders, hiding her face from Chaos’ sight. He was kneeling down in front of her, but he didn’t dare to touch her. He didn’t want her to go through the same memory again because of him being so weak for a moment.

Eventually, Zuri raised her head and rubbed her face roughly. Her bottom lip that Chaos had bitten, had healed, leaving only a stain of blood on her chin, yet Chaos didn’t dare to touch her. He knew what he had done and he didn’t want to torment her more than this.

“What was that?” Zuri finally asked, after she collected herself and felt a little bit calm.

She stared into Chaos’ dark eyes. She was sure that those blue eyes had been replaced by this color. It had been like this for the past few days.

“Is this because you need more of your shattered souls?” Zuri couldn’t comprehend this sudden change in Chaos.

No. I need you more. Chaos thought.
