Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 162

162 ADOPTION

Eros walked gingerly, as he carried a tray that was filled with his poor food. He managed to escape from the facility after that girl burned everything inside the room and created so much uproar and ruckus for him to escape that horrible place.

He felt bad for that little girl because he managed to escape alone and now there was no way he could find out about the girl’s fate.

However, he didn’t want to return to that place again. He didn’t want to be controlled anymore. And after being just a few weeks away from the only place that he knew, the eight years old boy had learned a lot of things.

Humans and the non-human beings, the supernatural creatures, were at war. The humans hunted down the non-human beings, while the opposite party did the same thing, they tried to kill each other and Eros was part of the supernatural creatures, he knew that he was a shifter.

But the irony of the reality presented before his eyes that he had to hide from those scientists among the humans, since this was the only safest place for him, at least for the time being.

“Move aside! You stink!” A boy, around the age of ten, shoved Eros’ tray to the side and sat down beside him. He took up more space than he needed.

Eros was in an orphanage, he was found near a ruined city, which turned out to be the place where the last attack by the vampires against the humans took place.

The old woman named Michelle brought her to the orphan that she managed, assuming that he was one of the children who survived the brutal attack in the city and since he didn’t talk much, the kind old woman only thought that he was traumatized from what had happened.

“Don’t you dare to touch me!” The boy named Erick hissed and glared at Eros, while he pressed his scrawny body against the wall beside him.

.....

Eros didn’t want to find trouble with them, he didn’t want his true identity to be exposed which would result in them taking him back to the facility, or worse, killing him.

“Today, a family will be coming over to take one of us into adoption.”

“Yes, I heard they want a boy, since they have a little daughter.”

“They want a brother for their daughter.”

And the conversation went on about the adoption, while Eros ate silently. He didn’t want to draw any attention toward him.

Moreover, he didn’t need to listen to the adoption part, since no one would take a malnourished and scrawny child like him.

However, this afternoon, all of them were lined up to meet with this family, who indeed had a little girl around the age of six years old. Her hair was short and she was dressed very plainly, with a jacket and long, dirty jeans.

After the short introduction, the family of three went into Michelle’s office and talked for a while until someone called Eros to enter the room when he was drawing something, sitting in his favorite corner alone.

When Eros entered the room, Michelle told him to sit down and the man and the woman smiled at him.

However, the little girl didn’t do the same.

She always lowered her head and Eros noticed that he caught a smell of blood from her. He frowned, as his eyes stared at her, trying to find where she was hurt, but that was the time when Michelle clapped her hands and spoke happily to him.

“Congratulations Eros! You found a new family now!” She said happily and Eros could see the little girl’s face scrunching up in fear. “You have a little sister now. Why don’t you say hay to Emily?”

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

Liam entered one of the rooms in this hotel in Fokosa city, while Damon and three more shifters were in a different room from this.

While he was away, the pack would be managed by his gamma, Colton. These past two months were the hardest time for him to take everything under his control, especially when he assumed the position as the Alpha.

Since they were bound to their duty for their alpha and their only option was Liam, they didn’t have so many options left, aside from following his order.

However, Liam had to take everything under his control and showed some ruthlessness for them to obey his rule, as it was hard to see a cowardly boy turning into an alpha that led the biggest and strongest pack at this moment.

“You are late,” a woman’s voice greeted him and a smile bloomed on the corner of Liam’s lips, he knew that she was there, he could sense her sweet smell the moment he entered the room.

Liam quickened his steps and then pulled the girl closer to him, as he pressed his lips against hers, eliciting a moan from her.

“There is a problem before I come,” Liam said softly, biting her bottom lip gently, but it was not enough for him, he needed more, he wanted more from her. He couldn’t wait for another second longer, since it had been more than a month since the last time they met.

Therefore, he carried the woman to the bed and threw her on it rather roughly before he tore her clothes with his claws and grazed her skin.

“You hurt me,” the woman complained, but she didn’t seem to mind at all when Liam lowered his head and licked the blood from her neck.

“I want to mark you,” he said hoarsely. The urge was getting stronger whenever he laid her down. “I want to mark you so bad...”

The woman pulled Liam away from her and looked into his dark eyes. There was lust and urgency in the way he looked at her now.

“Then, it will be as good as you killing me,” she said, tilting her head.

Liam groaned. “I am the Alpha of the biggest pack in this realm, what else are you afraid of, my dear Jasmine?”
