Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 523 HE MADE UP HIS MIND

Chapter 523  HE MADE UP HIS MIND

"You know I am right." Ariana ignored Emily's protest and shifted her attention back to Eros. "Will you put her in that kind of danger?" She nodded toward Emily to emphasize the meaning behind her words, because she was sure if there was something that could move Eros, it would be Emily, but nothing else.

There was no word that came out of Eros' lips, but his silence was very loud and this compelled Ariana to talk more. She had stepped over the boundaries, so she needed to work on this.

On the other hand, Eros already knew about it, there was no way to save himself and Emily, but by holding the supreme power in this pack.

If he couldn't fight the whole pack, he needed to take over it from the current alpha.

Not to mention that he had thought about this matter in passing a few times, but only now he started to consider it seriously, because Ariana pointed out the harsh truth before his eyes. This was the push that he needed.

"If we go with this, there will be only two ways to do it," Ariana continued even more boldly now. "You can challenge him in Atbikai, or…" Ariana looked a little bit hesitant when she said the second option. "Or, I can use poison on him."

This shocked Emily, because she knew that a healer was not someone that would solve the problem using that kind of method, that was too violent and wicked.

"Ariana, stop it. You don't know what you are talking about." Emily clutched Eros's arm tightly. She was afraid someone would overhear this conversation. And if that happened, they would be in greater trouble. "We need to stop talking about this."

She was not a shifter, who had keen senses, thus she couldn't tell when someone else was to approach them.

However, neither Eros nor Ariana heeded to that.

"I have said what I have to say, so it is up to you how you will proceed with it. You know that you will get my support." Ariana licked her dry lips nervously. "Although I am not strong and there is no way I will be able to fight a shifter, I know things and I can utilize my knowledge to achieve the goal."

Ariana wouldn't be able to fight fist to fist, but if she used her knowledge and was determined enough to take down her opponent, she could poison them without anyone knowing about it, since they wouldn't have the thought such a delicate healer like her, who had been following the alpha for years and had never associated herself with violence, would be able to do such a wicked thing.

However, people would eventually change, so did she.

"What about Colton?" Eros asked in a calm tone. He had not changed his facial expression since the beginning, therefore it was hard for Ariana to gauge what was in his mind. "Did he know about this?"

Ariana bit her lips and shook her head, she looked troubled. "No. He doesn't know. But, I am sure that I can convince him. Once you have made your decision, I will talk about this with him, I am sure I can convince him. He doesn't like Liam being the alpha in the first place, more so after his decision to join humans." Moreover, she didn't want Colton to be used as cannon fodder by Liam.

Eros just nodded at that statement and then grabbed Emily's hand. "Let me sleep on it, I will let you know soon."

And after saying that, Eros took Emily away from there, while the girl was still flustered.

"Eros…" Emily said softly once they were inside their bedroom. "You are not serious about that, are you?"

Emily didn't need to listen to the answer from him, because the look on Eros's face was enough to tell her that he was not playing around when he told Ariana he would think about it. "This is so dangerous. You know that."

Eros looked at Emily tenderly, but his voice was firm. "I don't want to join that organization, Emily. I don't want to let those filthy people boss me around. Have you forgotten that I ran away from a facility that tortured me and killed my parents?"

Eros had told Emily about that, but because there were a lot of things that happened, she didn't make the connections between the two.

"Yes, Em, that was the same organization that had tortured me." Eros caressed her hair lovingly, but his voice was so cold. "I have experienced first hand what it felt like to be their subject and I will not do it again."

Eros shook his head and then leaned over to kiss Emily's temple.

"I don't want them to hurt you as well. It was Colton, who got hurt this time, there is no guarantee that you will not get hurt."

Among the many things that Eros had told her about the reason why he had to walk down this path, that was the most endearing and what convinced her that he would do it right.

The fact that he cared for her was enough to justify what he would do, but it didn't mean that it could dissipate her concerns.

"Please, don't get hurt. I don't want you to choose Atbikai…'' She remembered the Atbikai that Eros had participated in years ago and the fear was still afresh in her mind even now.

If it was not Atbikai, it meant, they needed to use the second method…

There was one thing that Liam failed to learn all these years; the bond between mates was so strong. Just because he didn't have that kind of bond with Jasmine, it didn't mean every shifter would hate their other half as well.

He was so bitter about the fact that Jasmine lived like a corpse in her bedroom. Not even caring about their children.

That night, the alpha went to his children's bedroom only to find Aaron there.
