Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 414

414 I WANT TO BE WITH YOU

“Eat more,” Eros said, as he put the extra meat on Emily’s plate. “I don’t feel like eating it.” He put away his plate when he saw Emily was about to put back the extra meat on his plate.

“But, I brought this meat for you,” Emily protested because she could see how skinny Eros was right now and this worried her a lot.

“I don’t feel like I want to eat it.” Eros repeated what he said. “Just eat it, I am fine.” He could feel Emily’s eyes on him because she didn’t continue to eat and just stared at him.

“I want you to eat more, you look so skinny...” Emily mumbled, as she divided the extra meat and gave half of it to Eros. In this case, he couldn’t reject her again, right?

“I am fine. I have a lot of extra time, so I have been working out,” Eros replied, as he munched on his food.

That was not a lie. He really had been working out a lot in the past week because he knew what would wait for him out there. He couldn’t put his guard down.

The man that he killed was the younger brother of a warrior. The same exact warrior that had trained him in the past, thus he knew exactly how strong he was.

Eros didn’t have many options right now, if it came to the worst, it would be him having another atbikai fight against Darius.

He couldn’t afford to lose, because the reason was still the same as before; he needed to protect himself and Emily. This girl would die the moment he went down. It was him that those people saw when they treated Emily a little bit nice.

.....

“How was your day?” Eros asked her casually, as he finished his meal. He ate faster than her, thus when he was about to finish his meal, Emily had just eaten half of hers.

“I have been helping Ariana with her potions and learning about more herbs with her,” Emily said cheerfully. She didn’t want to go back to the shifter school after what had happened.

Even before this incident happened, she had been bullied by Derek’s and his friends, one could imagine what Derek’s friend would do to her, knowing she was the very reason why Eros lost his temper and ended up killing his best friend.

Not to mention that the whole pack knew Eros had been locked up in this room, thus there was no chance for Emily to be saved again.

They would only do something worse to her in that case.

Moreover, Emily didn’t think in her third year in that school, she learned something important, because most of the time, she couldn’t follow the lessons because it required you to be a shifter to understand that.

Therefore, Emily had been helping Ariana with everything and learned from her about medicinal plants and poisonous plants around this pack.

People didn’t dare to mess up with her because she was with Ariana, as they knew she was the only healer in this pack and her mate was the gamma.

People respected gamma Colton to bother his mate, and it extended to Emily as well.

“I am glad that you like it,” Eros said quietly, as he put down his plate and took a bottle of water, as he gulped down half of it.

“Yes, I made this for you,” Emily said, as she took something out of her pocket and showed a small bottle of potion to Eros. It was in the color red and the bottle glinted under the moonlight.

“What is that?” Eros looked at the bottle and tried to smell it. It had a minty scent and was too sweet for his liking.

“It is a supplement, I made it with Ariana when I told her that you don’t look good and I am worried about you.” Emily then munched on her meat and kept talking slowly. “Don’t worry, Ariana has approved it and I have tried it, so it is safe to consume,” she said proudly.

Eros smiled softly as he looked at the bottle. “You have done a great job,” he said softly, as he tousled her hair and realized that her hair had grown longer, especially her bangs.

He didn’t need to ask why she grew her bangs that long, because he knew the answer.

Emily looked so beautiful, even with the scar on her face and every time Eros saw it, he couldn’t help but turn around, because he didn’t want to see that.

Not because he didn’t want to see Emily, but because he didn’t want to remember how much he had hurt her.

The first time he lost his control, he hurt Emily and the second time it happened, he killed Derek. He was afraid that he would keep hurting everyone around him in this case.

“Emily, you better not come to see me often,” Eros mumbled, he didn’t know how long they would lock him here, but if it was for the safety of other people, he didn’t think that he would mind.

He had been locked up in the past, since he was born and became a human experimental object, therefore, this was no different from that, right?

However, Emily didn’t seem to take it well, but she didn’t throw a tantrum either. She just looked at him for a while, as their eyes met and she simply put down her plate and rested her head on his shoulder.

“You know that I will not do that, right?” Emily wrapped her arms around his waist, as she came closer to him because this room was very cold and he was so warm. “I will never leave you no matter what you say... I want to be with you.”

She knew Eros’ concern and why he asked her to stay away from him, but how could she do that?
