Untamed: The Alpha

458 CAN YOU DO IT?

“The term of mate is used by shifter when they find their other half. But all the supernatural creature in this realm will agree. Regardless the term, Zuri is Chaos’s mate.” Xerxes sighed regretfully. “I really want the white wolf... they are so rare. Rare creature...” Xerxes sighed with longing in his voice when he said that.

The old ex alpha still harbored the thought about the white beast, Zuri and he still thought about her as a prized possession.

“She should have with Emmet. She should have with him.” He repeated the same thing over and over again.

Probably because there were a lot of things that happened and how long he was in this dire condition, there was something wrong with his mind. He was deluded in his own thought.

“She should be the luna of this pack if it was not for that stupid son of mine.”

Eros knew about Emmet, he was Liam’s older brother and the son that supposed to be the alpha of this pack.

The story about him was a little bit complicated because there were a lot of versions of his untimely death.

“What Liam had done?” Eros asked him. He glanced at his watch and he still had around ten minutes more before he needed to get out of this place, since he didn’t want Emily to get into trouble for this. “Tell me what he had done?”

The old ex alpha cackled when he heard that, as if his question sounded so funny and looked at Eros as if he was an idiot to ask something like that.

.....

“He killed his own brother and tricked his mate.” The answer came out as a whisper.

“His mate?” Eros didn’t recall that Emmet had a mate before his death from the information that he had gathered. “Who is his mate?”

Xerxes clicked his tongue and this annoyed Eros. “You don’t know? How slow you are...” he furrowed his brows.

“Tell me, who is his mate?” Eros had this inkling feeling about who could be his mate, but he wanted to hear it from Xerxes.

“Who else? Of course, the white wolf!” he gasped for air because he was too excited. Probably he was a little bit crazy, but his memory didn’t fail him. “He marked her, of course, she is his mate!”

Eros seethed when he heard that. His feeling toward the white hair girl that he met years ago increased significantly ever since he passed sixteen years old, even though they had never met again after the catastrophe in the Kalee city.

“He marked her forcefully?” Blood rushed in his veins, as his claws emerged from the tip of his fingers, he was ready to end his suffering right here and then.

“Yes,” he said, chuckled, as if that was something funny. “She will never be able to go anywhere with that mark. She will be the luna of this pack. Everything will be perfect!” Xerxes hummed in delight when he remembered that moment.

“And then, what happened after that?” Eros asked again, his icy voice echoed inside this room, which smelled like rotten fish. “Why Emmet died?”

The question set him off, Xerxes started to growl when his happy image sunk to the memory that he didn’t want to remember, the time when he thought everything was perfect and went as he had planned, but then everything crumbled right before his feet.

Yet, before Xerxes could answer that, Emily had entered the room, she looked a little bit panic, as she put her finger in front of her lips to make Eros and Xerxes stopped talking. “There is a guard out there,” she said cautiously and then rushed across the room to reach for Xerxes.

Emily then stuffed something into Xerxes’s mouth and poured water on his mouth, forced him to swallow it.

“This will make him sleep,” Emily explained lightly and after she said that, Xerxes had closed his eyes. “I forgot to make it into an injection, so he needs to swallow it orally.”

She was dissatisfied with her lack of preparation because she was too nervous to think about tonight, especially when she saw a guard came to this direction.

“We need to leave now,” Emily whispered to Eros, but he stopped her from walking away.

“The guard is coming closer,” Eros said, he could smell his scent and hear his footsteps that was getting closer toward the door.

“I know where we can hide,” Emily said quickly, she was in panic, her eyes looked at the door, as if waiting someone would walk in anytime soon.

“We can’t hide. He knows we are here.” Eros walked toward the door, as the other man came closer from the other side of it.

Emily just remembered, their scent. She forgot this variable. Someone could pick up their scent and then followed them here. Just like what Eros said, there was no use of hiding when the other person could point out where they were right now.

“What will you do?” Emily asked in horror when she watched Eros just stood in front of the door, waiting for the other person to walk in on his own voliation.

Yet, Eros didn’t answer her, because he needed to focus and end this without any noises, because once his scream invited the other guard, they would be doomed. Emily would be in danger.

Moreover, there were more Eros wanted to hear from that shitty old man, this was not the right time to get caught.

“Emily,” Eros called her name icily, as he glanced at her through his shoulder. “Breath.”

On the other hand, Emily didn’t realize that she had been holding back her breath.

“Close your eyes and ears and don’t make any sound.” Eros stared at her, waiting for her to do what he said. “Do it now.”

Emily used to do whatever Eros told her without asking further question, therefore she did exactly that. She covered her ears and then shut her eyes, to prevent her from acknowledging what would happen next, because what Eros would do was something gruesome that was not in their plan at all.

Once the door was opened, Eros immediately charged forward and palmed the man’s face, as he pushed him against the wall, there were a loud cracking sound that could be heard, echoing throughout this room.

However, before the could cry for help, he had vomited blood and the next cracking soul was coming from his skull.

Eros crushed his face with one hand. He was not sure, but his strength increased tremendously once he reached sixteen.

It almost like he could break someone with his barehand, just like what he did right now.

The sound of the dying young man was grueling and if Emily were to see this, she would have thrown up by now.

And once Eros was sure that the young man had died, he identified this man as Josh, one of Derek’s friends, who bullied Emily in the past.

Once he recognized him, the shred of guilt that Eros had for him disappeared. He would kill him eventually, if he did something outrageous to Emily again, unfortunately, he was well behave ever since the death of Derek.

Eros then walked toward the adjoint bathroom there and washed his hand, before he walked toward the cabinet and then pulled out a brown blanket from there to cover the dead body of Josh.

He was severely injured and half of his face was crushed, even his healing ability couldn’t keep up with this kind of injury to preserve his life.

There was no shifter could do such thing and for now, there was no one, who knew about this kind of monstrous ability of his.

After that, Eros walked toward Emily and tapped her shoulder, you could see blood on the floor, but the worst part was covered under the blanket.

“I want you to make the same potion like you did when you make the dead rabbit disappeared. Can you do it?” Eros asked her calmly.

Emily was not clueless about what he was asking and what had transpired, but still, seeing someone under the brown blanket made her nauseated.

“Who... w-who is that?” she was stammering, she couldn’t imagine what Eros had done to him to kill him that fast, even though he was a shifter. Did he not struggle or fight back?

“He is Josh,” Eros told her, he didn’t have any intention to lie to her.

Emily gasped, she felt her heart beat in her ears.

“Breath, Emily,” Eros told her, because she was hyperventilating now and then turned her body around, so she didn’t need to see the dead body of Josh. He hugged her trembling body. “Can you make the same potion that I ask?” Eros asked her again when she was a little bit calm down.

Emily remembered what kind of potion that she made before, actually that was a mistake, the potion was so strong and one drop of it would be able to make a rabbit evaporated into thin air.

Emily immediately realized what Eros wanted to do and she whimpered because of that understanding.

“We can’t let them find his body, or else, we will be in a big trouble,” Eros told her calmly, his voice was soothing to her ears, only if she didn’t know the context of their conversation, she would love to hear him talking more. “Can you do it?” he asked again.
