Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 158

158 OBLIVION

“Yes. I killed him.” Zuri didn’t even think twice when she replied and then shoved Liam away from the car door as she slammed the door shut and started the engine.

The black car that Liam had hid for a moment like this drove away, letting the girl disappear from this pack, out of his sight.

However, right at that moment, a smile appeared on Liam’s lips. This was exactly how he wanted for his plan to be unfolded.

His walk back to the pack house was filled with joy, Liam even hummed calmly when he saw how the pack house was in chaos, as they tried to tend to the Alpha, who had been burned by Zuri.

But, when he saw the first person that came to him, his expression immediately changed, he looked serious and concerned.

“Where is that girl!?” Damon asked Liam when he saw him.

Damon was the beta of this pack, the second in command of his father, and now he was in panic to see Xerxes screaming and shrieking in pain, while the healer was trying to lessen his pain.

“I WILL KILL THAT GIRL! WHERE IS THAT BITCH?! BRING HER TO ME!”

There were various curses and outcries that came out of the Alpha’s bedroom, while Damon was in distress right now.

.....

“Where is she? Your father keeps asking for her whereabouts,” he said.

Earlier, Damon was about to bring people to chase after Zuri, but then Liam came and told him to tend to Alpha Xerxes, because he needed more support, while he would find Zuri himself.

“I lost her,” Liam said simply and then he walked toward his father’s room.

“How can you lose her?” Damon was furious, until he didn’t notice the change of attitude that Liam showed to him. “I need to gather people and chase her down.”

“Let her be,” Liam replied calmly.

“What?!” Damon was shocked to hear such an order. “Are you out of your mind?! She almost killed your father!”

And then Liam stopped walking and turned around to face Damon. “She almost killed the Alpha, but she already killed my brother. Can you retrieve the body from the hut inside the forest?”

“What?!” Damon widened his eyes, he shook his head in disbelief. He knew that Emmet had spent the night with Zuri because of the heat, but he wouldn’t have thought that the girl would have so much guts to kill him. “Are you serious?”

“Oh, and the body of an omega in her room. She killed her too.” The way Liam spoke was so different, but the situation was out of control, there was so much confusion here and Damon was still not aware of this.

“I will ask someone to retrieve the body and gather people to hunt her down,” Damon said furiously, disregarding what Liam said.

“Damon,” Liam called him when the beta turned around, about to leave.

Damon was annoyed when Liam prevented him. “What again? We don’t have much time, or else she will be too far from the pack territory and it will be hard to find her again.”

“You will do exactly what I told you.” Liam’s voice deepened and his eyes were so sharp when he looked at Damon, approaching him slowly.

“I don’t take orders from you,” Damon spat disdainfully.

“Of course you will.” Liam tilted his head, smirked at him. “Because from today onward, I am your Alpha.”

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

Zuri drove the car mindlessly. She didn’t know where to go or what she was going to do with her life from now on.

She felt at loss, as if her existence alone was something insignificant.

But then, after hours of mindless driving, she finally settled down in a cheap hotel far away from the city, where she saw a few couples come and go from that place.

The men would smile at her and stare with eyes filled with lust, but the girls looked like they would tear her apart if she dared to make any contact with their men.

However, none of that bothered Zuri. She didn’t even care with the bloody shirt that she was wearing right now. The color made the stains of blood look like it was drenched in a black coffee.

And once Zuri was inside the room, she made sure to lock the door. She even checked it a few times, not only twice or thrice, but she bolted the lock several times, just for her to force her mind to remember that she had locked it.

Only then she trudged toward the bed and laid her body down there. Zuri closed her eyes, she didn’t want to think of anything, she wanted to be in oblivion and felt nothing on her heavy chest.

It took her a long time before she finally fell into a restless dream. A dream about a few things that had happened in the past that she almost forgot.

A dream about her first kill when she was twelve...

Zuri remembered once in the past she had told Chaos about something about killing someone.

‘...You will lose count after the third.’ It was what he had said when she asked about how many people that he had killed.

And yes, she lost count after the third...

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

“You are finally awake, father...” Liam said when he watched his father’s eyes flutter open. He didn’t die... unfortunately.

Xerxes looked around the room and only found his useless second son. “Where is your brother?” he asked with difficulty. He wanted to drink something to moisten his burning throat.

“He died,” Liam said simply, he stood up from his chair and approached his father, but there was something wrong with the expression on his face.

On the other hand, Xerxes gritted his teeth in anger when he heard that. “Where is that bitch!?” he coughed really hard when he roared, but he groaned in pain when he tried to move his body.
