Untamed: The Alpha

428 CAN’T KEEP A SECRET

The fact that Darius went to McKeltar manor made mixed feelings well up in Jasmine’s heart, since she knew that her twin sister was there. July.

It had been years since the last time she saw her when Chaos returned to this realm. At that time, July pretended to be her when her man, the supernatural creature named Knox, appeared all of a sudden after years of disappearing.

It was known among all the supernatural creatures that the McKeltar manor would take in anyone, who sought for shelter, but it depended on what they could offer to them. As long as they saw you fitting into their territory, they would take you in and ensure your safety.

But, a few were also rejected by them because they saw they were of no benefit for them. They weren’t running a charity, therefore, they emphasized it was not an obligation for them to take them in.

Even though it was hard for them to be a part of the protection of the McKeltar, needless to say, the McKeltar manor was one of the safest places in this realm.

If Darius went there and they accepted him, would he talk to July and ask her to save Jasmine? After all, they were sisters, right? She wouldn’t abandon her. Moreover, she was pregnant with his child. He would do anything to save her from this place, right?

“You don’t need to be worried, he will survive there,” Ariana reassured her, because she could see how Jasmine was in deep thought right now. “You need to take a rest, so you can gain your energy back.”

However, Jasmine had a few questions that couldn’t wait, she didn’t want to rest yet. “I want to ask you something.”

Ariana looked at her for a while, before she asked what she wanted.

.....

“Liam knew about my pregnancy.” That was not a question, but a statement, because she had this strong assumption regarding this whole situation, she just wanted to make sure that was right.

The healer took a deep breath. There was no room for lying. Because at this point, there was no way she could deceive her, nor was there a benefit in doing that.

“The alpha wanted to get rid of the baby,” Ariana told her the truth about what Liam wanted. She didn’t sugarcoat the words, since there was no need for that.

Hearing what Ariana said, Jasmine just laughed bitterly. “I don’t want to.”

The baby was her only hope. This baby was Darius’s only flesh and blood in this life after the death of his brother. He wouldn’t let it go, therefore, Jasmine would cling onto that hope. She would keep the baby safe.

And moreover, not only that, the thought of loving this baby more than their twins, just to spite Liam, gave her a glimpse of happiness. She imagined what kind of reaction and expression that Liam would give her if he saw how loving Jasmine was to someone else’s child.

“Jasmine, you know that’s impossible, right?” Ariana could see what Jasmine was thinking right now. It was so clear to see and how she was going to aggravate the alpha with this baby was not something wise to do. “If that is your plan, that is not a good plan, Jasmine.”

However, Jasmine didn’t even give a fuck about what she said, as she laid down on the bed and pulled the blanket to her chin. “I want this baby. This is my child.”

And that was it. She didn’t leave any room for compromise and Ariana still thought her decision would make her life even more sufferable than this.

Yet, Jasmine had made up her mind, this was her decision and she had huge hopes for Darius. The man would save this child, his child and she just needed to wait until that day came.

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

Emily rolled her sleeves up and lifted her skirt, so she could dip her feet in the river. It was not deep and the water only reached her ankle, but it was cold and refreshing.

“This is nice...!” Emily said, and laughed at Eros, who was sitting on the riverbank, while watching her.

“Be careful,” Eros warned her, the stones must be slippery and he didn’t want her to fall.

However, Emily seemed to not hear his warning, as she played happily. Only at times like this, could Eros see how happy and free this girl was, thus he let her do whatever she wanted.

And after almost half an hour of playing in the river, she started to look around the riverbank, searching for something that Eros couldn’t understand.

“What are you looking for?” Eros asked, as he stood up and walked toward her. He was a little bit curious about what she was doing.

“Here,” Emily said, as she pulled his jacket, forcing him to sit down next to her. “Look, this is a poison plant, Ecanris,” she explained to him enthusiastically. “But, this also can be used as medicine if we mix it with other herbs.”

Eros raised his brows, she just learned about all of this for a few weeks and she already knew this much? Or maybe because it was him, who was too ignorant of this kind of thing.

“Do you know that much?” Eros looked at her excited expression, she found this plant, as if she had found a bar of gold.

“Of course,” Emily said proudly. “I am a diligent student. Ariana is proud of me since I learn so fast.” That was true, because the healer herself had told her that.

“Yeah, I think you are a great student,” Eros replied, as he patted her head lovingly. “I am also proud of you.”

Eros didn’t think much about Emily’s talent in this, he just thought, she finally found something that she loved.

“Eros, actually Ariana told me not to tell you about this, but I can’t keep it a secret from you.”
