Untamed: The Alpha

491 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Zuri truly hated the situation she was in right now. She cursed under her breath about how she didn’t check it with Knox first about the people that she would meet later if she followed him.

The problem with her was; she had been avoiding meeting Eros or Emily for the past few days, until they returned to the shadow moon pack, which was a succeed for this long.

But now, when she came with Knox blindly, she was stuck in the same room with the two of them, with the additional bonus of Skylar, who wouldn’t miss an opportunity to mock her and get on her nerves whenever she could.

Zuri sighed tiredly with her situation.

“What she discovered?” Zuri tried to act as nonchalantly as possible, but the more Emily talked and let them know about these two beasts, she immediately knew that she was smart when she explained the situation and inserted her own opinion here and there.

All of them were silence when they were listening to her, even Zuri forgot about her annoyance for a moment and focus the matter at hand.

“Is it all right for you to share this information with us?” Zuri eyed Emily. She knew the act of conduct for the shadow moon pack, unless Liam changed the rule, this girl shouldn’t have disclosed such important information to them.

“Gael will kick us out if we don’t,” Emily replied begrudgingly. It seemed, Gael had done everything that he could to pressure them to share this information, as they were not in an advantage position to refuse such a request.

They needed place to stay and couldn’t go home now because Colton was not in his best condition yet, though Emily had done her best to save him.

.....

“I don’t say that.” Gael tilted his head. He looked tired and more like an old man now, but there was still mischievous smile on the corner of his lips when he spoke. “I told you to choose, it was either you tell me everything, or keep it for yourself, but I don’t want to see any of you here.”

“That the same thing,” Eros retorted, he threw him a vicious glare.

“Of course not.” Gael looked offended by that statement. “You chose the first option. Moreover, I don’t want another attack in my hotel again, so sheltering you here, has its own risk.” He tried to be rational with Eros.

“So, you said this is an experimental shifter?” Knox cut the two of them bickering with each other, but his eyes stared intently at Eros, which made Zuri fidgeted.

Would he realize it?

There were Knox and Skylar in this room, if any of them realized that Eros was Chaos’s shattered soul, they would never get him away.

“Yes,” Emily said firmly. “Eros said there is something off with the way these two shifters behave when they were fighting.” Emily stared at the other beast and then looked back at Knox. “Someone did experiment on them and whatever they did, it made them more savage and apparently unable to feel pain.”

“Is that even possible?” Skylar chimed in, she walked a few steps closer to look at the dead body, but then she backed away again because she didn’t like the sight of it.

She must use her power earlier that no one seemed to be aware that she was still inside this room, if it was not for her voicing out her opinion.

“This is the proof of it,” Eros replied, he glanced at the woman and frowned. If she didn’t want to be here, she didn’t need to force herself to stay. Seeing how she reacted made him wanted to roll his eyes.

“You can’t be sure about that, moreover she is only a human, what she can do? We need to call an experience healer here.” Skylar didn’t like it when they seemed to be fascinated by Emily’s explanation and this was what annoyed Eros.

She kept looking down on Emily just because she was a human.

“If you don’t believe it, you should fight them yourself, instead of throwing up like you did,” Zuri replied to her insult before Eros could do it.

“They had died when I was there!” Skylar was furious. “How do you think I could do?!”

“Good thing they were already died.” Zuri shrugged her shoulder nonchalantly. “If you came when we were in the middle of fighting, you will only get in the way.”

Emily was surprised that Zuri would stand up for her, she glanced at Eros and caught him staring at the white hair girl, which made Emily lowered her head and reminded herself countless time that this happened because of the stupid mate bond. They didn’t really like each other and Zuri didn’t know Eros, as well as the other way around.

“Do you…” Skylar was about to raise her voice when Knox cut her off icily.

“ENOUGH!” Knox roared and Zuri smirked because she didn’t get a chance to give a snide remark to her, but then the smirk faded when she caught Knox was glaring at her. “Do you know who had done this?” He shifted his attention to Emily again, after Skylar finally backed down, she gritted her teeth and threw a dagger look at the floor beneath her.

“No, I don’t know.” Emily still lowered her head when she answered the question, she was pretending to be busy with her tube on the table. She didn’t want anyone to see that she was being jealous right now, because this feeling was not relevant at all.

“Who you had been in contact with?” Gael asked, there was no way these members of the shadow moon pack, came to his hotel only for a vacation.

“We can’t disclose such important mission to you,” Eros replied sternly. “Sharing this information is already too much for us.” He was the one, who told her not to talk anything aside from what he had agreed to.

“Okay,” Gael said, though he was annoyed, but this information was enough for him to make his own conclusion, but the question that was left; what the relation between the people from the shadow moon pack with the organization.

Gael had been keeping his eyes on the organization, but his main target was Sol and all the higher. He had a setback when Vanesha left. He knew where she was going to, but the fact that no one from the organization came here to find him, could be meant she didn’t disclose anything about him and this place.

At the very least, she kept her promise and started from the day she left, they would walk in different path.

Vanesha had paid his generosity to save her life by saving his daughter, River, but now the debt had been cleared and she was free to choose the person that she wanted to follow.

Gael was a little bit disappointed when he couldn’t stop her, but he knew the next time they met, they would be different people, as they were standing in different standpoint.

In the end, the discussion didn’t last for long and after a few questions and assumption, Eros and Emily were dismissed, as they had something to talk about.

The three of them walked out of the room.

“Where are you going, Zuri?” Knox asked her when he saw the girl was about to leave the room as well.

Zuri thought she could get away from there because she didn’t want to be asked about Eros. They must have their own presumption about Eros and they would need her to confirm that, but Zuri didn’t want to lie to them, neither she wanted to tell them the truth.

“Go back to my room,” Zuri replied. “I have not yet taken a bath for two days,” she added and felt like a fool because she said it right in front of Eros.

She didn’t care about the rest of them, but somehow, she felt embarrassed to say this in front of her mate.

“You will not die if you skip another day,” Gael grinned and then waved his hand. “Come here.”

Didn’t have any other choice and because she could feel Emily’s gaze bored into her back because she intended to go with them, Zuri grumbled and came closer toward Gael.

“What is it?” Zuri pulled her hair and then tapped her feet against the floor impatiently. She wanted to get done with it as soon as possible and then holed up in her room again.

“You know what is it,” Knox said. He looked at Zuri in knowing eyes, which made her heart skipped a beat. They knew. They realized it. “Is it him?”

Zuri tried to keep her calm fa?ade when she blurted out lie from her lips. “No.” The word sounded very natural and this made all of them raised their brows.

“No?” Skylar was the first person, who reacted. “What do you mean ‘no’? He must be Chaos’s shattered soul,” she insisted. “I know it.”

“If you know it, why did you ask me?” Zuri countered and felt guilty as well, because she had failed her duty to be here.

However, this was not the right time. She would need more time. She needed to wait until the pull between them was not as strong as this.

Zuri promised she would be the one, who ended this.

“It is impossible,” Skylar was still unable to believe that.
