Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 470 - 470 I DON’T WANT YOU TO RESENT ME

470 I DON’T WANT YOU TO RESENT ME

“Lucinda city?” Eros frowned. “What do you want me to do there?” It could be said that they had never gone as far as Lucinda city, since that place filled with a lot of human being and it was hard for them to enter that place, if they didn’t have a strong connection. “Why would I go there?”

And more importantly was the fact that he didn’t want Emily to get involved with anything related to this pack. He was well aware that Liam had his eyes on her talent, but he shouldn’t have taken this too far, especially when Ariana was still the main healer in this pack.

“I need you to meet with someone,” Liam replied, he didn’t seem surprised with Eros blatant refusal. He tended to be overprotective whenever it involved Emily. The girl still held a lot of value for him, even though he had met his own mate years ago. “You don’t need to worry, I have prepared everything. There will be no problem.”

Eros narrowed his eyes, it was clear to see that he didn’t trust him at all with what he was saying. It was nonsense to say there was zero risk for every mission that they had to go through.

“I will go, but Emily will stay,” Eros said resolutely. “You don’t have any reason to get her involved in this.”

Liam tilted his head. He didn’t have the same sentiment like Eros did. “Why she couldn’t get involved? She needs to prove that she is useful for this pack. I take her in because of you, but now I can see how smart she is with what she is doing, I should give her a chance to prove that she is useful.”

Eros didn’t like this discussion at all. “This is not up for discussion.”

“Exactly.” Liam clapped his hands excitedly and then stood up. “I want you and Emily to be ready early this morning, I will drive you to the border myself. So, rest up and let her know about this. I will give you the detail on our way there.”

The two of them were in the alpha’s office room and now Liam wanted him to go out, because he had something to say to Colton, his gamma.

.....

“Why don’t we bring Ariana? I will go with her.” Eros was fully aware that he would be in dispute with Colton if he got his mate involved in this, but then he didn’t think it was fair to get Emily involved when Ariana suited with the job the most.

Ariana had been in this pack longer and she was way more skillful than Emily, thus why Liam didn’t give the mission to her.

And just as expected, Colton glared at Eros for his suggestion. “Ariana is not a human. It is only right to send human to that place.”

This was the first time for Colton to talk in condescending tone. If there was one decent person in this pack, it would be him, but he wouldn’t be so nice to deal with when it came to his mate, just like the other shifter, they were very protective to their mate.

“I am not human,” Eros retorted in mocking tone.

“Of course, you are not,” Liam spoke slyly, he smiled understandingly at him, which made Eros wanted to throw up. “This is only a simple task, if everything go well, you will return in a day. Treat this as a chance for Emily to have interaction with her own kind. Don’t you think this is a good idea?”

Eros hated it to be with human, he still remembered how his early life, where he used to be their experiment object until he managed to run away from the facility. It was only Emily, the only human that he could stand for.

Aside from her, especially those kind of people, he would gladly kill them in one clean cut.

“Do you think I will return?” Everyone was aware one of the reasons why Liam kept Emily in this pack was for Eros. Because he would return to wherever she was. The girl was the assurance, but what changed now?

“Of course, you will, where else will you go?” Liam didn’t treat his question seriously. “If something happened to you there and people know who you are, do you think Emily will leave unscathed? You don’t think human is that nice, do you?”

Emily would be dragged along with him, if the people there knew he was a shifter, a lycan. He knew better that human could be more despicable than a monster.

“You can leave now,” Liam said, as he waved his hand, once he saw the understanding in Eros’s eyes.

With that, Eros walked out of the room, he lowered his head not because he was ashamed that he couldn’t prevent Liam from sending Emily away to Lucinda city, but to cover the hostility in his eyes. The wrath that he felt for this wretched alpha.

If he was the alpha, no one would be able to order him around and no one would dare enough to threaten him and the people that he cared for.

Only if he was the alpha…

This was one of the reasons why a lycan was the most dangerous creature among the other shifters, it was because their nature. They didn’t like to be ordered around and it was their second nature to lead, therefore, with the way Liam treated Eros, it only worsened his anger.

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

“Why do you keep bothering me?” Knox scoffed when Zuri entered his room, this time she didn’t even bother to knock the door, as she slouched on the sofa. She reeked of smell of alcohol.

“I am tired,” Zuri slurred. Her hazel eyes fixed on Knox, who was standing next to the window, staring at the distance, he often did this, as if he could see something, or someone in the place so far away from where he stood.

“If you are tired go back to your room and sleep there,” Knox was angry at her, but she had long stopped to care about it. “This is not your room.”

Zuri was silence, she chewed on her lips before she spoke again gloomily. “Your scent is close enough to him.”

Among the other shattered soul, it was Knox’s scent that smelled almost like Chaos, thus despite the fact that Zuri was annoyed by him, she always looked for Knox whenever she couldn’t find Chaos.

This was the longest he ignored Zuri and she felt hard to breath whenever she thought she wouldn’t see him again.

“So, you come to me just to sniff my scent?” Knox frowned and this comment made Zuri also grimaced, she threw a disgusting look at him.

“That’s not what I meant!” she snapped at him. “Why do you use such weird word? That makes me look like I am a dog!” Zuri growled.

Knox rolled his eyes when he heard that. “Whatever, but stop coming to my room without my permission.”

“Will you let me in if I ask permission?”

“No.”

“Exactly.” Zuri laid down on the sofa. “That’s why I never asked.”

Knox was annoyed by her, thus he chose to avoid this girl, as he disappeared from this room, leaving her slept on the sofa alone.

Zuri didn’t realize that Knox was no longer inside the room, because not long after that she was black out.

She woke up in the next day with a splitting headache. She didn’t even realize that a shifter could have hangover this horrible when they had a great healing ability. Why her body couldn’t cope up with alcohol?

“How much did you drink?”

Zuri groaned and held her head when she heard his voice. He was so close, until she could smell his scent.

“You look horrible,” Chaos said impassively, he looked ashen upon seeing Zuri current state. “I hope this is the last time I see you like this.”

Zuri was still trying to grasp the situation, weighing whether this was only a dream or not, but when she heard what he said, her head was boiled with anger, the headache was forgotten for a moment.

“Maybe if you can face me instead of running away, I will not be so miserable like this.” Zuri wanted to bite him, her mind turned violent with the sight of Chaos in front of her, but at the same time there was a wave of relief that she felt.

“I told you not to come here,” Chaos said, he extended his hand to caress her cheek, but Zuri swatted his hand away angrily. Her hazel eyes ablaze with anger. “But, you don’t listen to me.”

“Why can’t I come when I can help you more when I am here?” Zuri gritted her teeth. “Are you trying to push me away now?”

“I am not trying to push you away,” Chaos replied patiently, he looked a little bit haggard, but his blue eyes indicated that he was fine. “I am trying to stop you from resenting me.”

That’s again!

Zuri only let that feeling slipped for a brief second and Chaos caught up to it.

“You are willing to keep me close to you, even though I can kill you. But, you can’t have me with you because of that mere stupid feeling?” she asked incredulously.

There was pain in his voice when he replied. “I would rather you kill me than you resent me.”
