Untamed: The Alpha

418 SHE IS INSIDE

Jasmine knew from the very beginning that there was no way for her to be with Darius, no matter how she felt about him. Both of them only filled the voids in their hearts and found comfort in each other’s arms, there was nothing more.

There must not be anything more than that, because in that case, the situation would be bad for both of them.

This was a tacit understanding between them, but right now, Jasmine’s pregnancy turned things complicated between them.

“We can leave together,” Jasmine suggested, that was her plan all along and also the only reason why she tried to get Darius’ attention.

Whether Liam returned or not from his trip, she no longer cared, because the only thing that she wanted was to get away from this place and she couldn’t do it alone.

Yet, Darius refused that idea.

“No, we can’t leave from here together, we can’t survive out there with the alpha’s warriors chasing after us.”

Hearing that, Jasmine immediately pushed him away from her so hard, as she glared at him. This was not how she planned her escape.

“So, you want to go alone? Save yourself and leave me and your child behind?!” Jasmine hissed, she tried so hard to not raise her voice because she knew there were two shifters out there, who could hear them.

.....

“You don’t know how the world is out there,” Darius replied. He tried to be the level headed one here, because it was clear that Jasmine didn’t want to hear any rejection.

“Oh, please,” Jasmine scoffed in his face. “Don’t give me that bullshit. I know the situation out there very well. I killed many supernatural creatures before your alpha kidnapped me.”

The way Jasmine talked was a little bit harsh and this made Darius narrow his eyes. “The supernatural creatures that you killed were someone else’s mates, someone else’s children...”

Jasmine raised her hand to stop him. “I don’t want to hear that lecture. Do you think you, a supernatural creature, is so pure that you have never killed a human?” The corners of Jasmine’s lips tugged upward. “You know very well that your kind killed people too.”

Hearing that and knowing what Jasmine meant, Darius gritted his teeth. He could feel the anger resurfacing in his veins, as he was being reminded that his own pack members had killed his mate, but here she was, the alpha’s human mate, still alive...

“Can we discuss this later? Give me some time to think about this,” Darius said, his voice dejected, as he shook his head.

He needed time to think what they should do next, because this was not something that you could decide on a whim.

“I will come up with something,” Darius promised. He needed to think about this thoroughly.

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

Emily was fast asleep when she felt so comfortable to be so close to Eros, but the young lycan couldn’t close his eyes. He was afraid that he would lose his control and hurt Emily in the process.

He was sleeping at the time when he had a nightmare and ended up hurting Emily, thus he didn’t want to repeat the same thing again. He couldn’t put down his guard.

In return, Eros stared at the young girl next to him and gritted his teeth when he saw the scars that he had left on her beautiful face. This was a constant reminder of his mistake. He hurt her so badly.

If only Emily could live in the new capital city, where humans lived, she wouldn’t have to go through this kind of pain. She would live with her own kind without being scared that someone from the pack would be crazy enough to hurt her.

She didn’t need to go through that, but then a part of Eros didn’t want to let her go. She was the only one that he had right now. If there was someone that he could trust in this filthy pack, which was filled with so many malevolent and cunning shifters, that would be her. She was the only pure thing in his murky world and he didn’t want to let her go.

Eros wanted to keep her this way for as long as he could. He felt purified whenever he was with her.

He traced the scar on her face with his thumb, as she slept soundly under the moonlight. He didn’t know what the future held for them, but the only thing that he wanted was for her to stay safe.

He would do everything to ensure that.

Eros turned his body and then glanced at the closed door, from the wind that carried the scent of his surroundings, he knew there were two guards at the door.

This night was very quiet and peaceful, which made Eros want to close his eyes after an hour of staying awake, even Emily had started to snore softly and this made him sleepy.

The cold wind blew in and Emily snuggled closer to him, trying to find warmth in his presence, thus he hugged her closely. It felt nice to hold her body like this.

And with that, Eros could no longer fight his sleepiness and fell asleep.

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

“Alpha,” the two guards, who were guarding the door to Darius’ room, saw their alpha walk toward them and immediately greeted him.

“What are you doing here?” Liam asked, he recognized them as Jasmine’s guards. That was why he came over to take a look, since he didn’t see Jasmine anywhere near them.

However, it seemed he didn’t need their answer, because as he turned his head, he saw the door and realized where he was right now.

“Is she inside?” Liam asked them grimly. He had been trying to avoid her, but this was how they had to meet for the first time after that day. “She is inside.” He didn’t need confirmation, because he recognized her scent.
