Untamed: The Alpha

313 FIRE AGAINST FIRE

In this chaotic situation, with the enormous dragon in the picture, people paid less attention to the two beasts that moved through them, trying to find safety.

They moved so fast and precisely, not losing a single step to each other, as if they had the same mind and way of thinking. They passed all the people and moved in sync, as if they had known each other for a long time.

In the end, when they had put so much distance between them and the dragon and thought it was safe enough for them to stop, they entered one of the houses that seemed to have been abandoned by its owner.

It was a small house among the tens of houses around, which had the same size and design.

The black lycan shifted back into his human’s form, as he walked naked into one of the rooms and returned with a shirt and a pair of boxers that looked so big for him, and he brought a similar set of clothes for Zuri as well.

“This is for you,” Eros said, as he put the clothes down on the floor right in front of the white beast. He was still fascinated by the beast, as he thought this was the most beautiful creature that he had ever encountered, not to mention her scent. It smelled amazing to him.

But then, he snapped back to reality and turned around, while closing his eyes, since it would be inappropriate for him to stare at her when she shifted back into her human form. That kind of thing was too intimate.

Eros didn’t know why, but this girl’s presence alone bothered him. Not in a bad way, but rather the opposite. This made him wonder what the connection between the two of them was.

It was possible that they were...

.....

He was young, but he was not dumb.

“I am done, you can turn around,” Zuri said, as she found a hair tie to keep her long, white hair in order.

But, by doing so, she exposed her neck, making Eros frown when he saw the glaring mark on her neck. It was in the color red. He knew what it was, and also why it looked grotesque.

“Someone marked you forcefully.” The sound of it came out as a statement with a little bit bitterness rather than a question.

And when Zuri heard that, she flinched a little. It had been years. Since she didn’t talk about this anymore, even Chaos never tried to bring this matter up.

She would just pretend the mark didn’t exist and chose to wear something that could cover her neck, but right at this time, she didn’t have a say in what she would wear.

“You should ask Liam about that.” Zuri turned around to face this young man. Her expression hardened and this made Eros narrow his eyes, as if he was trying to study her.

Zuri was sure that he was younger than her, but even so, they were the same height right now and his body was built well, which let her know he was not a mere pack member to Liam.

“What happened?” Eros took a step forward, he looked bothered by this. What could Liam possibly have done to Zuri and how did they know each other?

However, instead of answering his question, Zuri stared at him with an expression devoid of any emotions and when she asked again, her tone sounded more interrogative than she intended.

“What are you?” Zuri had this same attraction toward him, but its effect on her was not strong enough to make her do something ridiculous and she managed to brush it off, just like how Eros felt toward her.

“I am a lycan.”

“I can see that. A rare creature.” She learned about this when she was still in the pack, attending their school and all, just like a normal pack child, despite there being nothing normal for her at that time. “What are you in the pack?”

Zuri could feel the power radiating from him. It was also rare for such a young man to possess such power. But, probably it was because he was a lycan and on top of that, he was Chaos’ shattered soul.

“I am the beta.”

“Beta?” Zuri raised her brows. “What happened to Damon?”

Eros was silent for a moment, before he answered her truthfully. “I killed him.” He thought Zuri would be surprised and look at him differently, instead a vicious smirk glowed on the corners of her lips.

“Nice. I wanted to kill him as well.” Zuri then walked toward the window and watched the wall of fire that the dragon had created. She wondered why Killian was acting this way. What triggered him?

“What had Liam done to you?” Eros followed Zuri to look through the window. He didn’t let go of this topic. He thought of this as something important.

Zuri glanced at him and, somehow, she felt like Chaos was staring at her, since they had the same colored eyes. It made her heart skip a beat.

“What’s with that mark?” Eros kept asking her, because she didn’t answer him the first time.

“If you really want to know, ask Liam.” She really didn’t want to talk about it. “But be careful with what he says.”

“What do you mean?”

Zuri shifted her attention to the ‘fire storm’ in the distance. “For me, he will be at the bottom of the list of people that I can trust.”

Eros knew that. Liam was cunning and would always have a hidden agenda, but up until now, he had not yet done any harm to him.

“How do you know about all of this? You are a pack member of the Shadow Moon pack?”

“I was.”

But then, their conversation was interrupted when, to their fear, the dragon clapped its huge wings and flew into the night sky that had been covered by dark smoke from all the fire.

“We need to get out of here now,” Eros said in a stern voice. He then took Zuri’s hand, as they ran out of the house and he didn’t let her go.

It was his instinct that came to play in his mind, where his subconsciousness told him to protect her. He would be doomed if something happened to her.

Though Eros didn’t realize it yet, the thought of something terrible happening to her and the mark on her neck was enough to make him question all the things that Liam had done for him.

His trust in the Alpha was shattered without a question...

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

Vanesha was kissing Sol passionately, as the man laid on his back on the sofa. This was how their every meeting would end and she didn’t mind it at all.

Even though Sol would respond passively at first, in the end, he would give up, since Vanesha knew what she should say and where she should touch.

However, in the middle of their passionate moment, Sol’s phone started ringing incessantly. They tried to ignore that, yet it didn’t stop, which annoyed Vanesha, as she reached out to it.

The phone was on the floor next to the sofa, so she just needed to stretch her hand.

Yet, before Vanesha could turn it off, so they could focus on each other, Sol had snatched it and shoved Vanesha off from on top of him, as he got off from the sofa and walked toward the door. After putting on his boxers, he left her naked there.

Vanesha glared at his bare back and pouted her lips. She took Sol’s shirt and followed behind him out of the room.

She found him in his bedroom, and when she opened the door, Sol threw her a warning look, as if telling her to not make any sound.

Quietly, Vanesha sat next to him and tried to listen in on the conversation between Sol and his father, Archie Williams, who was still able to hold onto his position as the head of the organization currently, despite many people trying to take him down.

He wouldn’t be in such a situation if Sol was more capable, or they agreed to save Jasmine, yet this old man was stubborn and sacrificed his daughter just like that.

“Dragon?” Vanesha furrowed her brows after the call had ended. “Are you sure that’s a dragon?” She knew that they were living among supernatural creatures right now and there were a lot of non-human beings that they didn’t know about yet, but a dragon?

Wasn’t that too much?

“Yes,” Sol replied. “A dragon appeared in East Draghar and they need our help now.”

Vanesha scoffed. “What a slap the universe delivered to that overbearing country.” She still remembered the fact that all of the countries had closed their borders and refused to help this country when all the supernatural creatures wreaked havoc years ago and Chaos unleashed pandemonium in this realm.

And now, they were asking for help? Of course, they would beg for help. That country was not ready for it, since they always declared themselves as a human country, without any supernatural creature residing on their land.

And now they found a dragon?

Vanesha really wanted to laugh.

“You need to go from my house, they will call you.”

“I am not part of the Delta or any force.”

“They will take River with them. They will try her power.”

“To fight the dragon?” Vanesha was visibly surprised.

Sol walked to his wardrobe and put on proper clothes. “Fire against fire. Fair enough to see her power.”

Apparently, the dragon had already burned down a few cities in that country.
