Untamed: The Alpha

176 DON’T DIE

“You will disregard all my important advice, won’t you?” Hades asked Zuri, as he laid down on the bed, causing Zuri to settle on the sofa instead, because she refused to talk to him, much less to tell him to get off the bed.

Hades wriggled his toes and hummed a strange song that she had never heard, but then she didn’t listen to so many songs in her life.

“You will cause trouble again, Blue, if you wake him up. This is really important,” Hades said again, but his gesture was the opposite of his words that he claimed were important.

Zuri could care less about what he was saying, since he didn’t explain how crucial it was, and moreover, she was too tired. A lot of things happened to her in less than three days and she needed to be in her best condition tonight.

Therefore, she closed her eyes and curled her body on the sofa, as she drifted into a troubled sleep. The nightmare came again and this time, she felt someone wrapping their strong arms around her body, while she burned with desire.

That was disgusting and Zuri would always remember how it felt when someone held her, how their skin touched hers or how they breathed on her skin.

Zuri couldn’t endure that.

“It’s me,” July said sternly when Zuri almost slit her throat with her claws the moment she woke her up from her nightmare.

She came here to tell her that they needed to move now, but she found she was fast asleep, only when she approached the girl did she realize that she was having trouble sleeping.

.....

“Don’t do that again,” Zuri said in a rigid tone, as she retracted her claws and released July’s body.

However, when July touched her earlier, Zuri opened her eyes in an instant and July wouldn’t forget the malice in her hazel eyes. How could someone look at you like that? July felt like her heart would burst out from sheer fear.

She had never been so scared before.

“I will remember that.” She meant her words, as she regained her composure. “We need to go now,” she informed her lightly and then walked out of the room.

Zuri wiped her face roughly and then looked at her trembling hands. She almost killed July and she needed to stop this. She felt her heart beating so fast, as she couldn’t remember the last time she could sleep dreamlessly. This started to get on her nerves.

Whenever she opened her eyes and faced her day, she would forget what had happened, or at least she tried to do so, but when she fell asleep and was so vulnerable to control her thoughts, the demons from the past would come back in full force.

Outside of the window, the sky had turned dark, but beneath it, the lights along the street made the night not so gloomy.

Only when Zuri got off the bed, did she realize that she was supposed to be on the sofa, because Hades occupied the bed shamelessly when she fell asleep.

It went without saying that it was him, who had carried her to the bed.

Zuri gritted her teeth and tried to not think about it. She needed to meet July and the others, as they would head to the site, the frozen lake.

She felt her heart was so heavy. Would she meet Chaos again?

And what if Hades’s warning was right? What would happen to Chaos then?

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

Eros was woken up when he heard Emily whimpering beside him. He thought she was only having a bad dream, but apparently when he touched her body, he found out that her skin was very hot. She was actually burning.

The little boy was on alert and immediately walked out of their room, only to realize that it was the weekend and no one was at home, therefore he returned to their bedroom again and tried to wake her up.

“My stomach hurts,” Emily whimpered with her eyes still closed.

Eros looked around him and was confused about what he had to do about her stomach ache, as he had never had one before. “I will get water.”

That was the only solution that he could think of right now, but when he returned with a glass of water, Emily only took a sip of it and then curled her body again, pressing her stomach with her hands, while bead of sweat started to form on her forehead.

“Do you want to eat?” Eros asked her, but little Emily shook her head weakly and this made him nervous. She rarely rejected food.

He looked around him and couldn’t find anything to make her feel better, in the end, he used their worn out blanket to wipe her sweat, but Emily kept whimpering, even when he gave her Mr. Bear.

“Don’t die,” Eros said in a low voice as he looked at his adopted sister, who closed her eyes shut before falling completely silent.

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

Zuri looked at the vast land that was covered with snow. It looked so dark and empty, but in the distance, they could see the lights from many camps that were built for those scientists from The Hound.

Being so close like this, Zuri could feel the pull. It was very strong, until she needed all of her strength to stop herself from running straight to the camp and found the source of it, albeit she knew what the source of it was.

“We need to kill them all, ruining their facilities will not stop them,” Zuri said, it seemed Hades’ words had finally clicked in her mind, thankfully that devil was not here to hear that.

“No, setting their tents on fire will be enough,” July disagreed, just like what Zuri had thought. “It will take them a long time to control the fire and we will come up with something better later.”

“Actually, I agree to kill them all,” Sebastian, Knox’s right hand man, voiced out his opinion.
