Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 248

248 STAY CLOSE TO ME

Thirty minutes into the Atbikai and one would be able to see that this was an unbalanced match.

Damon had shifted into his beast, a brown one, and was now circling the black lycan, which was bleeding profusely.

It was hard to see his blood because of the color of his fur, but upon seeing how dampened his fur was, coupled with the blood that left marks on the ground, or the blood that trickled down from the open wound on his forehead, it was easy to say that the beast was not in a good condition.

The brown beast didn’t look good either, but he was used to these types of conditions and situations. He had endured and seen the worst if one could say. He knew that he could survive. He would be able to pull through this because of his experience in fighting.

Meanwhile, on the tribune, Emily had been crying ever since the first claw that dug into Eros’ body. It was simply so hard to bear, she couldn’t watch it any longer, yet the fight had not ended.

Alpha Liam was standing next to Emily, as he held her with one arm, while she was crying throughout the match.

A few days ago, after the challenge took effect, Eros had gone to him to ask for help. It was not shocking news for Liam to hear what the young lycan had asked.

Liam looked down at Emily and a small smile appeared on the corners of his eyes to see how devastated this little girl was.

Right, Eros asked for Emily’s safety, he wanted to make sure that Liam would bring her to Lucinda city if the outcome of the match between him and Damon would turn sour for him.

.....

Of course, Liam agreed to that. He even swore that he would protect her, yet, the thing that Eros didn’t know was; you shouldn’t trust any promises from someone, who could plot, fabricate lies, and make someone else believe him, but would not hesitate to stab your back the moment you outlived your uses. Or, more simply, someone who schemed against his own father.

“No...” Emily whimpered when she saw how the black lycan’s stomach was clawed by the brown beast. It was a gruesome scene to see, as an agonizing roar filled the air. Her body was trembling and she felt her heart leap from her chest.

“You don’t need to see this,” Liam said to Emily. He bent his body down to whisper into her ear, but the little girl shook her head and was adamant on staying. “If Eros falls in an even worse state than this, we have to get out of here right away, okay?”

Emily wanted to reject the idea. She didn’t want to leave Eros there. “Can you stop this?” She lifted her head, staring at Liam pleadingly. “Please... you are the alpha. It is not fair for Eros. He will die if you don’t stop this.”

However, Liam showed the girl the saddest expression that he could muster. “I am sorry little girl, but I can’t put an end to this match.”

Another roar of pain, another sliced open wound and more blood that stained the field, while the shifters around the tribune were screaming at the top of their lungs for Damon to finish off the young lycan.

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

“This country is so cold,” Zuri stated. She looked up as snow started to fall again. She frowned. “Can we go somewhere warm?”

“We will,” Chaos said, as he stretched out his hand to hold hers, as they walked along the crowded streets.

The streetlights had been turned on and it was a beautiful night in this bedazzling city when they crossed the road and watched the skyscrapers around them.

Zuri looked at their intertwined hands, smiled softly and bit her lips. She could still feel his thin lips against hers.

However, once they crossed the road, Chaos stopped walking and his eyes fixed in a certain direction. His expression was one that of pure anger and Zuri didn’t know what caused him to turn so malicious in a split second.

Zuri followed his line of sight and found a man, sitting on a motorcycle with a helmet covering his face, but looking in Chaos’ direction.

Based on Chaos’ reaction, she knew that this was not something great. Chaos was hostile toward this certain man.

At first, Zuri thought it was one of his shattered souls, but apparently that was not the case, because she couldn’t smell Chaos’ scent on him.

Therefore, why was Chaos looking like he was about to kill this man?

“Chaos?” Zuri tugged on his jacket. “Everything is okay?” she asked in a low voice, while the throngs of people walked past them. “Do you know him?” Zuri asked again, but Chaos’ grip on her wrist only tightened instead.

This surprised Zuri because it meant this man was a big problem, but who was he?

However, before she got an answer, or her mind could wonder about what would happen next, the man had started the engine and left.

Only then did Chaos avert his gaze from where he was looking earlier, but the grim look on his face was still in place. He was pissed.

“Stay close to me, Blue.” That was all Chaos said, as he took her away from the street.

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

“She still remembers about her mother,” Vanesha said, as she submitted her report to Sol. She put down two pieces of paper with scribblings of her handwriting in front of him. Her expression was solemn when she handed in the information.

The two of them were in the office room of Sol, where he sat down on his chair. His expression was rigid when he took the papers and skimmed briefly through them.

“You have done a good job,” Sol said coldly, as he put down the papers again. He seemed distracted, as he didn’t want to be bothered by her. “You can go now.”

However, at the same time, someone entered the room and walked straight to him. She was fuming mad.

Jasmine Williams, the second in command of The Delta, and Sol William’s sister. She was well known throughout the facility for her assertiveness and cruelty.

To speak truthfully, anyone would rather be willing to deal with Sol than her.

“What do you mean with this assignment?!” Jasmine slammed a bunch of papers on Sol’s desk and let them scatter across the table.

“Leave.” Sol looked at Vanesha sternly and the young girl immediately rushed toward the door and closed it behind her. She was too scared to see the wrath of the deltas’ second in command.

“You still have that slut hanging around you? You are a crazy pedophile, aren’t you?” Jasmine hissed at Sol in her anger, but before she could utter a single nasty word again, Sol had slapped her hard, until she stumbled on her feet and fell to the ground.

Jasmine didn’t see it coming. She didn’t expect Sol to become physical either. She screeched like a banshee, as she glared at him, with eyes filled with hostility, but Sol didn’t budge, he held her gaze sternly, as he spoke.

“Don’t ever disrespect me like that again,” he said, his voice was rough and distant. He had never been on good terms with Jasmine for as long as he could remember and him being appointed as the commander by their father in the project that Jasmine worked hard for was only adding to the discord between them.

“Do you want me to salute you instead?” Jasmine said sarcastically through her gritted teeth, as she stood up and smoothed out her uniform. Her pride was hurt.

Yet, Sol ignored that remark and continued to speak. “You will take this assignment. You are not in a position to reject this. Now, scram from my office before I do something more humiliating.”

If looks could kill, Sol would have died under that scorching hateful gaze that Jasmine directed at him. She looked like she was moments away from taking the weapon from her holster and ending Sol’s life right there and then.

However, at the last second, she decided to turn around and walk away.

“I will not hear any insult toward Vanesha again, or I will discipline you,” Sol said in a stern voice. He talked to her not as her brother, but as her commander.

Jasmine had her back facing Sol when she heard that, but when she turned around and looked him in the eyes, she didn’t talk about that little slut.

“How dare you send me to lead the attack on the Shadow Moon pack?” Her voice was shaking when she questioned him about this.

“So that I will know everything between you and their alpha is over.” Sol knew that Jasmine and Alpha Liam from the shadow moon pack were mates and he definitely understood what that meant. “I don’t believe that we can’t penetrate their pack after five years of trying.”

Jasmine narrowed her eyes at him. “You think I betrayed the organization and sent them information?”

“Yes.” The answer was definite.

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

Damon felt it, it was so wrong. Something was wrong with his body when he tried to attack the young lycan in front of him. His vision turned blurry and his breathing became uneven, as his mind went distraught.

What happened to him? He tried to raise his head, but it was too heavy. Even walking was hard for him. He tried his best to keep fighting, yet he felt like his consciousness slip from his being bit by bit.

He tried to lift his head again to look in the alpha’s direction and saw how he was smiling at him.
