Untamed: The Alpha

427 BAD DECISION

“Is it true that he had died?” Both of them knew who she meant by ‘he’ in her question. “Is it true that Liam had killed him?”

That was the only concern that Jasmine had right now because she didn’t know how she should express her feelings at this moment. If she could, she wanted to sleep forever and not return to this reality. She really wanted for all this to end.

“No, he had not,” Ariana finally replied.

Hearing that, Jasmine was visibly surprised, because she had prepared herself for the worst. She knew that Darius must have died by now, knowing how Liam was.

But... did she hear it wrong? How could Ariana say he was still alive? Was Liam kind enough to let him go?

If Jasmine was here, she assumed Ariana had told him about her pregnancy already and if he knew how long she was, he could calculate it and realize the time didn’t match with his return from East Draghar.

“Are you serious?” Jasmine tried to push herself up. She wanted to see Ariana’s face clearly when she was lying to her just to make herself feel good about it, but Jasmine didn’t have enough strength to help herself up.

Thus, Ariana helped her by putting more pillows behind her back, so she could sit comfortably.

“You are lying to me, right?” Jasmine asked her again, she looked at her intently. She had known Ariana long enough to know that this healer was not a good liar. She was like her mate, Colton, who would avoid conflict and provocation.

.....

“I am not. He is still alive,” Ariana repeated her answer. She poured a glass of water and helped Jasmine to drink, so she wouldn’t choke.

“But, I thought, Liam...” Jasmine could feel the fresh water moistening her dry throat, but it didn’t stop her from asking for an explanation.

“The alpha thought he had killed him, but Colton and I helped him to cross the border,” she said. “He is still alive.”

Now, when Jasmine knew that Darius was still alive, she was not sure how she was feeling at this moment, because she was definitely not thrilled to know that he managed to get ouf ot his hell-like place without her.

At the same time, she also felt relieved that he was fine.

“But, how could you deceive the alpha?” She was curious about this. How could they manage that?

“The alpha beat him up pretty badly,” Ariana said. She glanced at Jasmine and then grimaced when she remembered what actually had happened. “Apparently, Darius told him about his affair with you, because when Colton was there to stop him, he was cursing about your infidelity.”

Jasmine really wanted to laugh at that.

Wasn’t that his original plan? To throw their dirty laundry in the alpha’s face and enjoy the look on his face when he realized what they had done behind his back? How he screwed his mate when he was away.

Jasmine was aware about that and she didn’t mind it at all, they had different goals, but hated the same person.

However, how could he leave her in this mess? If he wanted to tell Liam about their dirty deed, he should make sure that he was capable enough to kill him.

Probably, it would have been great if Darius won the fight and became the alpha, the life here would be slightly bearable for her then.

“And he left him? Knowing as a shifter that you can heal yourself very quickly?” Jasmine narrowed her eyes, it didn’t make sense to her.

But then, Ariana shook her head. “The alpha beat him up badly and then asked me to inject him with poison.”

“Poison?” Jasmine felt weird because she knew how to make poison, but then she realized, poison and medicine came from the same roots. You could have the same ingredients, but with different dosages and additional items, it could turn into poison or medicine.

“He wanted him to suffer. He wanted him to go through a painful death,” Ariana explained this to her, because she thought Jasmine had the right to know about this. She was having his child after all.

“That’s so typical of him,” Jasmine muttered. She wasn’t surprised that Liam asked that kind of thing, actually he enjoyed it, especially after what Darius had done.

But it still pissed Jasmine off because he managed to get out of here without her, despite the fact that he told her that he would get her out of here.

She didn’t know whether he was serious or not when he said that, but eventually he caved in when she brought up her pregnancy.

“And how can he survive from the poison?” Jasmine was curious about that part, how could she manipulate Liam?

Come to think of it, if Ariana could manipulate the alpha that easily, maybe she could ask for her help to get out of this pack one day.

“That...” Ariana then explained to her that the poison was not really a poison, because it would make you go through an extremely painful phase for about five to ten minutes, but then you would pass out.

During that time, your pulse would become so low and your body would become so cold, until people around you would think that you are dead.

“Liam believed that?” Jasmine asked and Ariana nodded.

“Then Colton brought him out of the pack house and threw him out in the forest, outside of our border.”

“In that condition?”

“No. Darius must have woken up half way to the border.” The effects wouldn’t last for more than three hours and moreover, Colton spoke to him.

“What did he say? Where did he go?”

“Colton told Darius that he should go to the old capital city and look for protection from the McKeltar family. So, there he went.”

“McKeltar family?” Jasmine was shocked.

The Mckeltar manor...

That place...

July would be there. She should be there.
