Untamed: The Alpha

166 MY PRIDE IS HURT

“Give me your bag and you can walk away unscathed from here,” the bigger man said in a disdainful tone. He folded his arms to show his muscles.

This realm had turned into something worse, where people were not safe even from their own kind, but still insisted on fighting the supernatural creatures, when in reality, sometimes their own kind was way more brutal than those non human beings.

Nowadays, a scene Zuri just experienced was a common thing. People would be robbed in the middle of the day when the sun is still so bright and during the night people would lock their doors and windows, because those who are desperate to live would do anything to strive, even daring enough to unalive someone else.

That was the aftermath of a war between the humans and the supernatural creatures. They weren’t only trying to destroy each other, but also their surroundings and other innocent people.

However, Zuri didn’t have time to go deeper into such understanding when the only thing she wanted was to avoid confrontation.

Therefore, she turned around to take another street, only to find out that two of the men had blocked her way.

“I think you are in trouble now,” Hades commented happily. Those people couldn’t see him, which meant the only person that they saw was a scrawny little girl that looked like an easy target.

“Get the fuck away from me,” Zuri said calmly, but it didn’t mean that they should take her easily.

“Give me your bag and you can walk away unscathed.” The man insisted. They looked like they had done it several times already and remembered their lines perfectly. “Or you will regret it.”

.....

“This is not your bag,” Zuri said firmly. “Get away from me and no one will get hurt.”

“Woo! You tell them girl!” Hades made some noise beside Zuri and the girl itched to smack his face.

Zuri clenched her fists tightly. She envied those people, who couldn’t see this annoying creature beside her.

“Kill them! For making your mood sour and turning you into a grumpy mess!”

Zuri then stepped aside, with the intention of stepping on his feet hard like what she did earlier in the hotel lobby, but Hades had moved his feet away swiftly.

“I have learned from my mistake, Blue,” he said smugly, knowing it would make her more upset and he hoped she would kill those three men. It was good to have a couple more souls in his realm.

Zuri ignored him, though that was harder than having to face those three men in front of her. Hades was the real scourge in the eyes.

“You? Hurt us?” one of the two men, who blocked her way from the other side, mocked her. He clicked his tongue, as he pinned Zuri with a gaze that made the girl’s anger burn in her veins. “Don’t you see yourself? You are helpless.”

Helpless...

Zuri had felt helpless before, she knew how horrible that feeling and situation was. That was something that she wouldn’t want to experience again, but for now, she was absolutely sure that she was not in that kind of situation.

And then, without warning, Zuri charged forward and brought her foot to the man’s face, who mocked her before.

Her movements were so fast, since she used to fight trained soldiers and a few shifters that were larger than her with muscles covering their bodies, therefore these mere thugs were only some insignificant flies in her eyes.

The man groaned while doubling over, but before he could touch his bleeding nose, Zuri had raised her leg and knocked him down with her heel, right on his neck.

“What...” The second man there watched in surprise to see how the young girl turned violence in the span of a second. This little girl knocking a man who was twice her size was the last thing that he had expected.

And before he could utter another word, Zuri had stood in front of him and delivered a hard punch to his face, as he fell backward and once he hit the ground, Zuri kicked his face once again until the sound of his broken neck echoed in this narrow alley.

Zuri stood up, her expression remained unchanged, as she walked to the last man, who was standing not too far from her, frozen.

She didn’t break a sweat at all even after she toppled down two grown up men. She was ready for another fight.

“You little bitch!” The man roared and charged forward. His shock at seeing two of his friends collapse disappeared when he brought his fist to Zuri’s face. It was a pity that he had to hurt her beautiful face, but it seemed he couldn’t take her lightly.

However, Zuri pivoted on her heel and elbowed his face instead and took a bottle nearby to smash it against his head.

She didn’t care whether they died or not.

It took only a few seconds before the man fell to the ground and could no longer move.

On the other hand, Hades, who watched the things that unfolded before his yellow eyes could only enjoy the view.

“Wow...” He clapped his hands. “Actually I want to offer some help, but I don’t think you need it... hey, what are you doing?”

Hades walked closer to Zuri, to take a clear look at what the girl was doing now.

“Why are you groping them?” Hades frowned; he didn’t understand why Zuri was touching the man’s body, until he saw she pulled a wallet from his pocket pants. “Don’t tell me you are robbing them...”

Zuri didn’t answer that, she pretended not to hear what he said and put the wallet in her bag before she moved to the other men, trying to find other valuable things from them.

“Go back to your world if this is too much for you,” Zuri snapped at him and then walked away with the money.

Hades frowned. “Why do I feel like my pride is hurt?”
