Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 152

152 REPULSION

“I will kill you if you make a noise, Meredith, you have to remember that.” The way he spoke was so calm, as if he was just talking about the weather.

Meredith was having a cloudy mind now, she knew this would happen sooner or later, but of course she didn’t wish to listen to it when it was happening. Her heart broke so badly when a flash of image came into her mind with Zuri and Emmet’s naked bodies tangled together.

She knew and was aware that the affection between them started to fade away, since she didn’t bear his mark and the bond was not so strong between the two of them, but it didn’t mean she didn’t feel any pain when she was carrying his child. Their child.

“Where is it?” Alpha Xerxes asked Adel the thing that she was told to bring and the old woman came closer to the alpha and dropped the bottle of yellowish liquid into his hand. “Hm. Great.” He raised it and let the light of the moon reflect on the bottle before he returned it to Adel again. “Give it to her.”

Adel looked slightly flustered when she heard what he asked her to do, though she should have known from the very beginning that she realized what kind of liquid that was.

“Alpha Xerxes... are you sure...?” Adel’s voice faltered when she spoke, but then when the alpha shot her a dagger look, she shut her mouth and scrambled to Meredith’s side.

The girl was still crying her heart out, but she didn’t let her voice rise louder than the night wind. It was hard for her to keep herself together and hold back all of the emotions.

“Adel, take me away from here...” Meredith begged her. “Please, tell the Alpha that I will not go near Emmet again...” she cried, as she pleaded with her. They were from the same pack, they were of the same rank, thus Meredith believed that Adel could understand her, she could help her talk to Alpha Xerxes to let her go, because she couldn’t bring herself to face the intimidating Alpha right now.

“I know, I know, Meredith,” Adel spoke in the most gentle tone that she could muster, as she was trying to hide the nervousness in her voice when she introduced the bottle in her hand. “Drink this and we will go from here.”

.....

Meredith looked at the small bottle in her hand, but her mind was too clouded with the thoughts of what was happening inside that dirty hut, therefore she didn’t think twice when she gulped it down.

Adel was not a stranger to her and they could be said to be on good terms, they were close to each other, therefore, Meredith didn’t have any doubts when she gave her something.

“Everything will be alright...” Adel cradled Meredith in her arms when she was done drinking and cried her heart out. “We will go home... we will go home...”

Meredith was so focused on her misery and grief that when she realized another pain, it was too late for her and the child in her stomach.

The pain beat everything that she had ever felt before.

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

The first thing that hit her when she woke up from her nightmare and the heat had gone, was humiliation.

She found her naked body tangled closely with Emmet’s beside her. He was hugging her from behind, breathing down on her neck, as his warm breath brushed against her skin.

Zuri felt disgusted, her stomach wrenched in repulsion, as her body trembled. His touch was akin to filth slithering down her skin and this left her suffocating.

She literally couldn’t breathe when the image of what had happened last night bombarded her mind. She felt revolted with herself.

The feel of human skin, a body so close to her, the press of every part of his body to her back... the feeling was so overwhelming. Zuri felt like she was drowning. She couldn’t bear this.

Breath...

Breath...

Breath...

She commanded herself to take a tentative breath, so she could fill her lungs, but it was hard when there was someone behind her, who was breathing peacefully after what he had done to her.

Zuri felt so fragile. She felt like she couldn’t move a finger, she felt like the world had caved in and left her there, crushed by the reality.

She could smell the blood in the air and also the pain from wounds that littered on her skin from what Emmet had done to her.

She had never felt so devastated and wanted so badly to disappear, to stop feeling anything. She didn’t want to feel anything. She wanted to be numb.

Zuri clasped her hands together, closing her eyes tightly. She wanted to die so badly.

While out there, the sounds of birds chirping and wind that brushed past the leaves and a few things that let her know that a new day had come, but for her it was the end.

Her life had ended.

She didn’t want this life anymore.

Only when Emmet moved away and turned his body to the other side, snoring in his sleep, Zuri could breathe freely and she could feel a little bit of sanity return to her mind.

With so much difficulty, after fighting the demons inside of her head and mentally beating herself for taking pity on herself, Zuri moved away from Emmet.

She crawled away, putting a distance from that man and found his clothes and jacket.

Zuri hated the scent, as it smelled like him, but she didn’t have any other choice. Her only options were; enduring his scent or enduring the shame of walking naked.

After she was dressed, Zuri tried to find something else that Emmet would always carry with him and she found it in his pants that were left forgotten on the other side of this hut.
