Untamed: The Alpha

481 ANOTHER ENCOUNTER

Emily was too shock and emotionally exhausted, this was the first time that she had to experience something like this and it was understandable that she was very scared.

“I hope next time you will give me a head up before you pull this kind of stan,” Eros said calmly to Colton, but his words filled with warning.

Yet, Colton couldn’t do that. “I am sorry for what she had to go through tonight, but I follow my alpha’s order.”

That was typical of Colton. He followed the alpha’s order blindly, showing his loyalty, until no one would question him.

Seeing him like this, Eros could only think one thing; he would only get a loyal gamma Colton when he became the alpha. If he was in that position, no one would dare to give him an order or did what he didn’t want to do.

And moreover, he could protect the person that he wanted.

Eros lowered his head and then looked at Emily, who was sleeping soundlessly in his arms. She looked comfortable enough to be carried this.

He walked down the corridor with Colton was walking ahead of him, after that conversation, both of them became so silence, since there was no longer thing that they wished to talk about. They just wanted to go back to their room and stay there.

Tonight was so harsh even for them.

.....

However, Eros couldn’t do that, because the moment he turned toward his room, an intoxicating scent hit him so hard, which made him halted his step.

And before Eros could think what he should do, there she was, the girl with white hair, walking straight toward him.

Eros realized it before she appeared right before his eyes, but when she was there, Colton also saw her and stopped walking as well, as he was standing there in stunned silence.

“Zuri.” The name escaped Colton’s lips. He knew her, he knew what she had gone through when she was still in the shadow moon pack and what alpha Xerxes and his first son did to her.

However, he did nothing to help her, yet he couldn’t say that they were in good term as well, therefore, he didn’t know what to say to her.

“Gamma Colton,” Zuri replied and then nodded, she tried so hard to avoid seeing Eros, but the tension between them was so visible and it was hard to ignore, especially when Colton was a very observant person.

“I am glad to see you here, Zuri,” Colton said, this was only pleasantries talk, but both of them knew there were nothing to talk about.

“Yes, so do I.” No, Zuri didn’t feel glad, neither she hated it. She preferred he didn’t talk to her at all if he could help it. There was no need for this kind of awkward greetings. “I can see you are so tired, you need to rest.”

Zuri didn’t wait until she heard the reply and walked away from him, but she couldn’t ignore Eros any longer, especially when he was carrying someone in his arms. A girl.

She gave a quick glance at the girl, but Eros purposefully moved his body and covered her face, so Zuri wouldn’t be able to see her, which only made her threw him a glare.

However, Zuri quick to realize that was not appropriate and then walked away from there. She was very upset to herself for feeling this way. This feeling was so wild. If she could, she wanted to cut it off immediately.

“Eros,” Zuri blurted out his name, as she turned around and found him had not yet moved from his place, while Colton was staring at both of them.

There was no way to hide it any longer, because this was not something that both of them could control.

“I wish to see you after you bring her back to her room.” Zuri leaned her back against the wall and then folded her arms in front of her chest. She looked at Eros knowingly. “This will be quick.”

As if there was tacit understanding between them, Eros nodded. “I will be back in a while.”

And after saying that, Eros walked ahead of Colton, who was still staring at both of them and was having a hard time to stop himself from approaching Zuri and confirmed his suspicion.

“What are you doing there?” Eros asked, he shot Colton a look when he didn’t move, but in the end, the gamma said nothing and continued to walk toward his room and closed the door behind him, without even saying anything.

Eros walked into his room and then put Emily down to the bed, after he tucked her in, he was about to walk away and met Zuri.

She didn’t say anything about what they were going to say, but both of them knew exactly that this must be done immediately before things became even more complicated.

However, before Eros could walk away, Emily grabbed his hand and stopped him. “Where are you going? Please stay with me…” she pleaded.

Eros stopped and then turned around to smile at her. Emily looked like she was about to cry again, her hands were still shaking and it was understandable that she didn’t want to be left alone.

Yet, there was something important that Eros should do and he couldn’t bring Emily with him.

“I will go for ten minutes, after that I will go back here.” Eros tried to coax her, he caressed her cheek and then sat down on the bed, as he wriggled his hand from her clutch.

“No!” Emily pushed herself from the bed and then hugged Eros’s neck tightly, as she cried again. Her whole body was shaking. “Please don’t go… I don’t want to be alone… I am afraid.”

“There is nothing to be afraid of. Everything is over now, tomorrow we will return to the pack. You will be fine.” Eros hugged her back and kissed her cheek to reassure her, but it didn’t work, because Emily started to cry unconsolably.

“I killed him, Eros… I killed him…” she sobbed. She was still in shocked for what had happened. “I didn’t mean to kill him.”

“I know you don’t,” Eros said softly.

“But, if I did it better, he will still be alive.” Emily was guilt ridden because of her wrong calculation that caused Josh’s life.

“As a shifter, living without your beast, is the worst life that you can imagine.” Eros patted her back. He couldn’t concentrate to calm her down, because he kept thinking about Zuri, who was waiting for him. “It is over now. You can rest.”

Emily shook her head. “This is not the end. You know it. The first experiment is failed, there will be more time like this again.” Emily bit her lips. “I am afraid.”

Eros couldn’t say anything at this point, his mind was elsewhere, Emily’s voice was like a buzz sound in his ears.

“Eros, are you listening?” Emily released herself from him and then looked at his troubled expression. “Do I bother you?” she asked carefully, because she could feel it that Eros wanted somewhere else and not here with her right now.

“No.” Eros shook his head to clear his mind and then nudged Emily’s body to lay down on the bed. “You need to rest. Sleep.”

“Do you want to go somewhere?” Emily asked, as she pulled the blanket up to her chin.

“There is someone I need to meet.”

“I can go with you.”

Eros shook his head. “No. I need to see this person alone.” He leaned over and kissed her forehead, but Emily wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him back to kiss him on the lips. She blushed, but she let him go.

“Okay, but please comeback quickly,” she said timidly. She was thinking how brazen she was for doing that and was relief because Eros didn’t seem to mind it at all.

“I will.” Eros then stood up and walked toward the door, but he didn’t turn around or even glanced at Emily at all, as if he couldn’t wait to get out of there.

And seeing him like made Emily’s stomach churned.

“No. This is nothing…” Emily curled herself into a ball and pulled the blanket until her head. She was hiding under it like a turtle. “I am just thinking too much about this…”

On the other hand, Eros walked back toward the corridor, where Zuri was waiting for him alone. He knew she was there because of her intoxicating scent filled this place.

Eros sighed deeply and closed his eyes before he resumed walking toward her. She looked beautiful, a little bit pale, but beautiful nonetheless.

Her white hair was akin to the light of the moon, it glowed differently and her eyes… her hazel eyes… they had the same color like Emily’s, but hers was filled with determination, they were hard and calculative.

“Let’s make this quick.” That was the first thing that Zuri said the moment she noticed his presence.

Eros stopped walking right in front of her and it took everything inches of his self control to not pounce on her and claimed this girl as his. The pulse on her neck was very tempting…

“I know what do you want to say.” His voice sounded hoarser than he expected and he needed to clear his throat. “If you want to do it, please go ahead,” he said politely.
