Untamed: The Alpha

187 SHE DIDN’T MEAN IT

July was speechless and didn’t know what to do, but then Jasmine wailed all of a sudden, her voice cracked with sadness, as she stared at the man.

“Knox, please help me, jasmine wants to kill me...” Jasmine said, she looked pitiful and her cheeks stained with tears, as she held her bleeding leg.

At first, July was stunned by what Jasmine was doing, she couldn’t understand why she did that and called Knox in such a sweet voice. She was acting like her.

But then, when the realization dawned on her, Knox was already standing right in front of them both, as he stared down at Jasmine, who was holding her leg, as tears streamed down her cheeks.

What the hell?! She was trying to fool Knox by acting like her!

They were indeed twins, and the fact that Knox had not yet seen her for eight years was enough to leave July panicking. She was afraid that Knox would mistake her for her twin.

“Fuck you, Jasmine!” July roared in anger, she pointed her gun at her head, but then Knox knelt down and held her face, as he stared intently at her.

“Knox, please... help me,” Jasmine said, sobbing.

July was dumbstruck. “What the hell are you doing? I am July!” she gritted her teeth, the gun felt cold in her hand when she watched how Knox held her face between his big hands. She still remembered how it felt to be touched by him.

.....

“Knox...”

The way Jasmine whispered his name made July sick. She wanted to blast her head and watch her brain scatter on this snowy ground, but she couldn’t do that, there was something in her that stopped her from killing her own sister.

Shooting her leg was way different from shooting her empty head.

For a moment there was silence, as they stayed in the same positions without even daring to move a single muscle, the tension was so thick, until Knox tilted his head and shifted his gaze to July.

“What are you doing, silly? I am holding her for you, so you can shoot her without trouble,” he said calmly, as his grip on Jasmine’s face became even tighter. Harder than that, he would have smashed her head with his bare hands. “Of course, I know it is you, love. You will never beg so pathetically like this to me.”

That was one thing that Knox knew for sure. Aside from the fact that he could recognize July, even if she had a thousand other twins.

“So, will you shoot her, or should I kill her for you?” he smiled warmly at her, like he used to, as if the eight years apart was nothing for him, as if they had never been apart. “You look gorgeous as always by the way.”

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

Zuri closed her eyes tightly, her body trembled, as she tried to push him away from her. This was too much, she was overwhelmed with the fact that she was being hugged.

She didn’t like the feeling of someone else breathing against her skin, or her being trapped like this. She wanted to shift into her beast and dig her claws into his chest so he would release her, but a small part of her consciousness tried to prevent her from doing such a thing.

It was Chaos. He would never hurt you. He would never do something that would hurt her. He would never put her in pain.

But then, she was in this state and condition because of him. He left her for years. He hurt her...

It was easy to blame someone, though she knew very well, there was no way he would let this happen to her if he knew it.

“Let... me go...” she was stammering when she said that, her heart was beating so fast against her chest, as she breathed raggedly. “Let me go... don’t touch me...”

Yet, Chaos didn’t hear her pleas and rested his head against her shoulder, breathing in her scent.

Zuri couldn’t hold this feeling any longer, she couldn’t breathe. She needed to get away from Chaos before her instinct resolved into an act of violence.

Having her eyes closed, brought back the memories of Emmet touching her body again, how he breathed down her neck, just like how Chaos was doing now. His warm breath against her skin was something that disgusted her.

The way he held her, or how hot his skin... this was too much... she had had enough.

Zuri couldn’t take it.

And it happened too fast, even before she could think through what she was doing, it happened just like that.

A second ago Chaos was holding her tight, but a moment later, he fell on her lap, bleeding profusely from a big wound on his chest.

He was bleeding, so was Zuri’s hand.

Apparently, her hand half shifted and with her razor sharp claws, she dug into his chest.

Zuri didn’t mean it. She didn’t mean to hurt him. Would he die?

In her panic, she crawled back from him, putting a distance between them, so she wouldn’t have to feel his skin against hers, only in that way could she think straight again.

However, the scene before her eyes was another nightmare for her. Chaos didn’t move and the dirty ground beneath his body was smeared by his blood.

She didn’t know how long had passed, but the next thing that Zuri realized was; Gael was already next to her, putting his arm around her shoulders, while about five men were trying to help Chaos up.

“Don’t touch me,” Zuri growled dangerously in a low voice, her eyes glistening with fear and panic when Gael appeared all of a sudden. She moved to the side to avoid him. Her claws emerged from the tips of her fingers once again.

On the other hand, Gael was surprised to see Zuri’s reaction and how she had grown into a beautiful young girl.

How long has it been?
