Untamed: The Alpha

462 SHE HATED DOING THIS

“Good morning, father,” Emma greeted Liam, she looked at her father with her brilliant golden eyes that always succeeded to make Liam anxious.

Every time Liam looked at her eyes, he would be reminded by the devil. How he had made a dealt with him and what he wanted from him.

But then, he couldn’t gauge, how he would proceed to make his little girl as his bride one day.

“Good morning, honey,” Liam said with soft voice, as he crouched down to scoop her small body. “Where is your brother?” he asked her, tilting his head toward their bedroom, but Aidan’s bed was empty, the little boy had been up. “Is he in the bathroom?”

Emma shook her head. She looked at her father innocently. “Aidan had been up an hour ago,” she said in her voice that sounded very childish. “I think he is in mother’s bedroom, playing with Kenna again.”

There was sadness in the end of her words, because her twin preferred to play with their little sister without even asking her and left her behind.

But, more importantly, their father had explicitly told them to not come near their mother and their sister, because they were sick and needed more rest, which was a bullshit.

For Aiden, he didn’t care about that, because he desired to have a mother figure, but for Emma, she knew what was going on, though she looked like a clueless little angel.

“Are you looking for Aiden, father?” she wounded her small arms around her father neck, as she watched Liam’s grim expression. “Shall we go to mother’s bedroom?”

.....

Yet, the little girl scrunched her brows because she didn’t like to go there, since Jasmine would snap at her and there was one time, she threw a flower vase to her head.

If it was not for her agility, she would have sustained a great injury at that time.

“No need,” Liam said knowingly and then set her down. “I will fetch him from there and then start training, you can go and play with your friends.”

Emma pouted her lips and then kissed her father, as she nodded obediently. “I will go to see Abby,” she said. Abby was one of the pack member’s child, a little girl around her age.

She appeared so innocent and beautiful, she was what you would call daddy’s little girl, only if she was not promised to the devil, Liam would be glad to have such intelligent and sensible little girl like her.

And with that, Liam walked away toward Jasmine’s bedroom, or he could say; their bedroom, but it had been so long, since the last time Liam slept on that bed.

His relationship with Jasmine could be said as none, because he couldn’t remember when the last time they were talking without growling at each other.

However, even so, Liam couldn’t let her go. The fact that she had betrayed him and gave birth to someone else’s child was beyond him, yet he couldn’t bring himself to toss her out of the pack and let her died out there.

There was something fuck up about this mate bond between them, though the bond should have been cut off years ago, but apparently, it was still bothering him.

Jasmine was visibly aged, the corner of her eyes and the corner of her mouth adorned with wrinkle, she was no longer the beautiful, fiery woman, who used to lead a thousand men to slay supernatural creature.

She had aged into an ordinary woman with the burden of depression and anger problem. She was unhinged and some time, you wouldn’t know what she was blabbering about.

It was disheartened to see how a beautiful, strong and smart woman like her ended like that now and all of that was on Liam. He was the only person that you could blame for that. He tormented her mentally.

Broke every piece of her confidence and hope, leaving her alone with his scattered faith that someone would come to her, because even now, there was no one came for her.

She was abandoned by her own people and Liam would emphasize that again and again. How people left her alone, including Darius. He was died and all she had right now was that stupid daughter of hers that she kept it next to her just to spite Liam.

As a human, Jasmine had been broken beyond repaired, there was nothing to fix her, yet Liam still had this damn attachment to her.

“Aiden inside?” Liam asked to the two guards in front of the door.

“Yes, Alpha, Emily took him in an hour ago,” one of the guards informed him and then opened the door for him, as he stepped inside, he could hear Aiden and Kenna’s laugh.

He still couldn’t understand why Aiden was close to Kenna instead of his own twin, he would sneak here whenever he got a chance and Liam would allow him to do so.

Perhaps, deep down, he always wished for Jasmine to come around. For that woman to give a slightest attention to their son.

However, seven years rolled by and there was never time when she would genuinely care for the twin. Emma had given up to have any relationship with Jasmine, but Aiden was still persistence.

“It’s time to train,” Liam said when he approached the children, who were playing with empty bottle at the corner of this room.

This bedroom smell like a dirty bar, where you could find empty bottles of alcohol scattered around here, since Jasmine would demand to drink it like water and got drunk or sleeping all the time.

Liam glanced through his shoulder to see Jasmine was sleeping with blanket covered her whole body and her disheveled hair covered her face. She didn’t even wake up when these two children made noise.

Out of instinct, Liam walked over to her bedside and put his finger under his nose to feel her warm breath, made sure that she was still alive.

“Let’s go,” Liam said to Aiden, who was waving his hand to Kenna, who looked at him with sad eyes and then she directed her eyes at Liam and asked him with small voice.

“Can I go with you too?” she stared at him expectantly, so did Aiden.

Yet, there was not a single bone of pity in Liam, for him to stand the sight of this child. If he could, he wanted to throw this little girl to the dog.

“No,” Liam replied curtly, as he took Aiden’s hand and then walked out of the room.

The answer was expected and the little girl should know about that, but she was still sobbing when she watched her father took her brother to have fun outside there, while she was with her mommy.

Right now, her mommy was sleeping and even when she woke up, she didn’t bother to play with her, while the two guards out there were so mean to her.

Kenna could feel it when they looked at her as if she was a bratty.

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

“Do you want to go to the village?” Chaos asked, the village was only a few minutes walk away and they could take a look the place that they visited six years ago, but Zuri shook her head.

Yes, the place was nice and all, but the memory of it was tainted by the death of that old lady. She didn’t want to go there and walked past her small store.

Their encounter was short, but she couldn’t shake the memory out of her mind.

“No,” Zuri replied curtly, she didn’t give any explanation. “Can we go home now?” she turned around to look at Chaos.

They were here because they needed to check on the tree, just in case it acted up like years ago, when people became so aggressive and wouldn’t even bother to think twice before they killed each other.

Chaos and Knox believed, Aaron would use the tree when the time came. The devil would use it along with whatever plan that he was planning right now, as three years had gone uneventfully without any news from him.

Hades also stopped coming to give them warning and this quietness felt unsettling.

For now, Chaos was fine he could teleport both of them across the island, thus coming to this place was not a big deal for them.

They used to go somewhere from away just to scour the area, in attempt to find his shattered soul, Zuri had no idea how many more people or shattered soul that they needed to find until it was completed.

But from what Chaos told them, he still needed around twenty three percent of it before everything was completed, yet how many people that would be?

However, before they were about to leave that place, Zuri felt it. She could smell his scent, coming from the direction where the wind blew.

Therefore, hastily, she took off her hand from his grip and told him that she could feel his shattered soul nearby.

Zuri’s heart sunk to her knees when she figured out where Chaos’s shattered soul came from.

“That one,” Zuri said in placid tone, but her hazel’s eyes casted down, while she raised her hand to point a family of four, who was having their picnic not too far from where they were standing.

An emotion that she had tried to suppress came to the surface. She hated doing this.
