Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 338

338 A MESSAGE

“Why are you talking about this to me? Don’t you fear I will talk to someone about this?” Emily’s original intention was to let Jasmine know that she was aware of her affair, but she didn’t expect she would be completely honest with her and even tell her the reason behind her actions.

She didn’t think she would be able to withhold such important information when the alpha asked her, but on the other hand, Jasmine also knew that she wouldn’t tell anyone about this. Emily would lie, knowing what kind of punishment that Jasmine and Darius would get once Liam caught wind of this affair.

And that would hunt her conscience.

Jasmine lifted her head and then looked at Emily, there was this mocking smile tugging on the corners of her lips, every time she heard her speaking about snitching on herself.

“You will not,” she said with conviction. “You are too kind, almost stupid.”

Emily scrunched her brows when she heard that. “That’s not a kind word to say.”

Yet, Jasmine scowled at that reply. “You can’t survive with kindness, this world doesn’t need that.”

And after saying that, Jasmine put away baby Emma, even though she was still crying and her little stomach was not full yet.

Jasmine didn’t care about her cries, she wouldn’t even spare her unwanted children a glance, let alone to care about them when Emily was around. The girl would take care of them out of... what? Kindness?

.....

The sound of that word alone disgusted her.

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

It took a great deal for Eros to finally find the Alpha. He needed to act like a normal human and stop himself from sniffing the air just to catch Liam’s scent, especially at times like this when people were threatened by the very existence of the non-human beings.

Yet, when they finally met with each other and were about to sneak out of the country, they found that the borders were closed with the arrival of the help from Arzees country.

They intended to get rid of the supernatural creatures from East Draghar, while fighting the dragon.

“What a ridiculous joke that they are playing,” Liam sneered when he watched soldiers from Artzees country, who, none other than the members of the Delta, walked in front of him, as he and Eros hid in the refugee tent for all the refugees. Of course, this scene brought back old memories for Eros.

“What should we do now?” Eros stood next to the alpha, as he skimmed his surroundings, hoping to catch a glance of that white haired girl again. His mind was still not at ease to know she was out there, in danger. This feeling was kind of annoying, but he couldn’t help it.

“We will find another way to go out of this stupid country.” With that, Liam turned around and walked away.

“How?”

“Watch and learn, this is an important lesson for you to survive.” Liam walked away from the crowd of the refugee tent toward a quieter place, where no one was around.

They went to a wrecked house while some parts of it were still on fire, yet not dangerous enough for them to pay attention.

Only when Liam was sure there was no one there and he couldn’t smell any human being nearby, did he raise his hand, as he lifted his chin to look at the sky. He did so for a few minutes. His eyes slightly darkened, as he concentrated.

On the other hand, Eros watched closely what he was doing until a black butterfly perched on the tip of his finger.

Liam caressed its black wings and then let it fly again.

Meanwhile, Eros crossed his arms in front of his chest, tilted his head, as he looked at his alpha, completely disinterested.

“What should I learn from that?” he said in a boring tone. “You want me to learn how to call a butterfly? Pass.”

Liam chuckled when he heard this and then tousled his head. Yes, Eros always acted tough and all. He even looked older than his age, too mature for a teenager like him, but no matter what, he was still a fourteen years old boy, and barely an adult.

“Do you find it funny?” Eros asked, as he tried to evade Liam’s hand. He didn’t like to be touched.

“No, but I find your irritated expression entertaining enough to watch,” Liam chuckled again. He had never had a little brother, while his older brother was completely a dick. But, if he had one, he would probably treat him like the way he treated Eros right now.

Yes, he took advantage of him, but it didn’t mean he didn’t protect him or teach him necessary skills to survive.

“So, what lesson should I learn from that butterfly?” There was a drip of sarcasm in the way Eros spoke and Liam found it endearing.

“Look,” he started and then continued to explain about the butterfly. “That’s what you call an Ageha butterfly.”

Only a few shifters could call that creature, as Ageha butterflies, the little creatures that delivered messages, were a sign. It could be a sign of chaos, a danger, a sign to ask for help or send a warning.

And what made it even special was, not all humans could see them. Only those who had a strong mind could see these creatures.

“How do you decipher the message?” Eros was a little bit interested about this.

“Easy. You will know it naturally,” Liam said lightly, shrugging his shoulders, as if this was not even a question. “You have your own beast. Beasts have their own way of communicating.”

“Nonsense.”

[Just the same way how we mindlink each other and how you find your mate.] This time, Liam answered him through the mind link.

Yet, when he walked ahead, Eros looked at his back with narrowed eyes.

Speaking of mates...

He still remembered what the white haired girl told him about Liam.
