Untamed: The Alpha

150 THE HEAT (3)

When Zuri almost reached the house where she would stay for tonight until the heat passed, all she wanted to do now was run back to the pack house and find Emmet.

The beast inside her head clawed at her when she kept walking in the wrong direction. She knew that this strange desire was not hers and when she was in sane mind, there was no way she wanted that man to be close to her, let alone touch her.

This feeling was too much and overwhelming, she didn’t think that she would be able to go through this any longer.

One step at a time.

She kept repeating those words as she forced herself to walk toward the rickety hut. She would endure it, she would go through this. No matter how much pain that she had to bear, she wouldn’t let this desire to win over her.

Zuri bit her lips, her breath was shallow when she took the painful steps, she fell to her knees a few times and Adel helped her to stand up. The old woman could feel how hot Zuri’s skin was against hers when she touched the young girl. Her white hair stuck to the sides of her face because sweat started to form on her skin. She was burning.

“Come here child, come here,” Adel helped Zuri to climb the three steps of the stairs before they reached the doorstep and she opened the door to the hut.

Zuri felt the cold night wind didn’t help much with the burning desire that she felt right now, she wanted to take off her shirt as well, while she already abandoned her jacket. This fabric killed her with every movement that she made, it rubbed against her skin deliciously.

Maybe she could get rid of it when she was inside, when she thought she would be alone in this forsaken place, spending her horrendous night, tortured in pain.

.....

However, she would have never thought that she would find them inside this rickety hut, waiting for her with a big smile on their lips.

Zuri snapped her head at Adel, who was closing the door behind her. She growled viciously at her when she realized what she had done to her. “HOW DARE YOU!” she roared.

If it was not because of the bracelet on her wrist, Zuri would have shifted into her beast and clawed the old woman, giving her a painful death.

Adel flinched and she moved away from her, joining the two men, who had been waiting for her inside this damn hut!

“You don’t need to rile up like that my child,” Alpha Xerxes said, he shook his head and breathed deeply. “Your scent is so sweet when you are in heat.”

That comment disgusted Zuri. She bared her teeth and tried to compose herself when she saw the man beside Alpha Xerxes. It was Emmet. He was standing there with a triumphant smile on his lips and lust in those eyes.

Of course, he could smell her sweet scent, since they were mates.

“I brought Emmet here to end your pain,” he said wisely, as if he had done something noble and people needed to praise him for his benevolent nature.

Fuck him and fuck his son!

“You betrayed me.” Zuri fixed her eyes on Adel, who was standing behind Alpha Xerxes. She was trying to avoid her gaze, but she wouldn’t be able to avoid the wrath that emanated from the young girl.

“Don’t take it personally. Like I said, everyone has their own interests and needs. It is not a mistake to find a way to fill that need. It is someone, who believes in other people easily, that should learn.” Another wisdom filled sentence came from that filthy mouth...

However, Zuri didn’t listen to it, she had her eyes on Adel when she spoke again. “You will regret this moment.”

And to answer that statement, Emmet stepped forward, his expression was very smug when he talked. “Let’s see who will regret it in the end.”

Zuri could feel her body freeze when he was too close to her.

She was in so much pain before that caused her to lose her focus and failed to pick up these father and son’s scent, but now when she saw that Emmet was right in front of her, all of her senses only wanted him to be close to her.

Fuck.

Zuri bit her bottom lip until she could feel blood filling her mouth. She needed another distraction before her instinct took over her mind, but it was hard, because the closer they were to midnight, the more the tension within her intensified.

Zuri was panting heavily now, her shirt stuck to her skin, fighting the urge to be in his arms.

“Maybe this is the time I leave you with her,” Alpha Xerxes said gracefully and then walked out of this hut from the other door behind him with Adel in his tow. “Enjoy your night.”

And the door was closed, leaving the two of them alone.

Zuri wanted to run from Emmet because seeing him standing there only a few steps away from her was a horrible torture for her, but when she saw the door behind her, it was locked with a padlock. Adel must be the one who had done this.

She cursed under her breath when she knew there was no way for her to escape this place.

“Come here, Zuri,” Emmet said in a boring tone. “You are only making things difficult for you.” He knew that she wouldn’t be able to shift or fight him in her current state and moreover, this was the first time that this girl would be under his mercy, while he had the utmost upper hand against her.

The feeling of being able to overpower her was driving him insane.

Emmet smirked when he took off his clothes and walked closer to her.
