Untamed: The Alpha

154 REPULSION (3)

Zuri stood up and Emmet could see his shirt that hung loosely on her small figure. She was so small, but his fear for her was indubitable.

The girl with messy white hair took the bottle that she had tossed away earlier and went back to Emmet’s side. She knelt down again, resuming her position from earlier and without preamble, she stuffed it into his mouth.

Zuri then held the top of his head and his chin with both hands and pressed them together until the bottle shattered in his mouth.

Emmet’s eyes opened so wide, one would start to think that his eyes would bulge out of their sockets, but his scream of pain was muffled because Zuri still held his head and chin, making the same gesture over and over, so all the sharp pieces of the bottles tore his mouth.

Emmet couldn’t even spit out his own blood or the pieces of broken glass, as smaller parts of it hurt his throat, leading him to bleed internally.

Only when Emmet looked like he was about to choke on his own blood, did Zuri let him go and stared down at him again like before. There was no remorse in her eyes, nor did she flinch when warm blood gushed out of his mouth and nose.

At this rate, Emmet knew he was beyond saving. Zuri made it so clear that all she desired now was to kill him. Slowly and painfully, as she watched the process...

The gurgling sound from Emmet’s lips blended with the chirping sounds from the birds out there and the blowing winds that grazed the branches.

“Father... will kill... you...” Emmet managed to say those words, aside from the blood that pooled in his mouth. The gurgling sound was so sickly.

.....

“And I will kill him before he gets a chance to even entertain that thought,” Zuri whispered to him, her voice so gentle, until it was hard to believe that it was wrapped with malice and bloodlust. “I will tear his chest open and rip his heart out myself.”

And the last thing that Emmet saw before life left his eyes was the determination and wrath in Zuri’s hazel eyes.

He remembered the first time they met. She was a sweet and quiet girl, despite what his father had done to her uncle. She would choose to be left alone and didn’t want to engage in any conversation or befriend anyone.

But maybe you shouldn’t disturb a quiet girl if you couldn’t handle the raging storm that she would bring with her once the calm surface was gone.

Just like a silent sea, you didn’t know what kind of monster that slept underneath.

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

Zuri walked out of the rickety hut and she found Meredith, writhing in pain on the ground, with half of her body soaked in blood.

“Zuri...” Meredith called her, tears wetted her face, she had been crying the whole night. Either it was because of the sounds that Zuri and Emmet made, or the unbearable pain when her baby died in her stomach. “Please...”

Zuri stopped walking, but there was no panic or any emotion in her expression. Her eyes were so dull, detached from reality when she stared down at Meredith.

“Please...” Meredith stretched out her hand, touched Zuri’s leg and she felt this sudden repulsion from the feeling of her fingers wrapped around her leg. Her skin... she didn’t like being touched.

Zuri kicked her hand away, her brows slightly furrowed when she watched the girl cry again. She didn’t know what she wanted and she was sure that she didn’t want to stay there to find out. Zuri had other important things to do.

She gave her one last glance before she walked away, said nothing to her, or even offered any help to the poor girl.

Zuri could care less about what would happen to Meredith. She could die for all she cared. People died everyday and whether one or a hundred more souls left this cruel world was not a significant number...

They would all die in the end.

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

Zuri didn’t know how she found her way to the pack house and startled all the omegas there because of her dreadful appearance.

Her brown clothes were soaked in blood, blood belonged to Emmet, as a few more blood stains soiled her hands, arms, legs and her cheeks. Her eyes were hollow, there was no light in them and this made all the people there gasp in shock, they moved away from her out of instinct and no one dared enough to approach the white haired girl.

On the other hand, Zuri walked calmly to her bedroom, the room that was prepared for her and for Emmet to make their firstborn, the next Alpha in line, but now there was no chance for that.

Zuri stripped off of her bloody clothes the moment she was inside, she didn’t even bother to close the door, let alone to lock it when she went straight to the bathroom and let the water from the shower drizzle on her body, washing away the dirt from her skin.

However, no matter how long she was under the water, or how hard she rubbed her skin, she couldn’t feel clean anymore. She was so dirty, until she felt like she was about to skin herself.

But then, after a long shower, she stopped her attempt to feel clean again, because she felt so tired fighting against the nasty pain of losing her mate.

Yes, she lost her mate because she killed him.

And all of a sudden she burst into a laugh, she laughed so hard until her body bent forward, clutching her stomach.

She laughed just like when she heard how Emmet said that his father would kill her.

Was she afraid of that threat? She couldn’t find the feeling of fear in her. The stupid pain of losing her mate alone was already so ridiculous for her...
