Untamed: The Alpha

“Don’t look at me like that, I am not going to do something horrendous to both of you, so you can put aside your negative thought about me.”

Eros grabbed Emily’s hand and let her sat down next to him on the sofa, while Liam was sitting in front of them.

Emily knew that Eros and Liam were not in a good term, the more they worked together, the more they had disagreement on many things.

However today, Eros seemed to exceptionally agitated with the fact that Liam called for Emily and wanted to talk alone with her.

“I want you to go to East Draghar country and meet up with Sir Nikolai, the representative of the organization. He is Sol William’s right hand man.” Liam didn’t beat around the bush, because they wouldn’t go anywhere if he did that. He would only test Eros’s patience, which he had none.

“No, she can’t go. The last mission is enough for you to expose her.” Eros was so stern when he talked to him. This was another thing that he disagreed with Liam. “Those people use you to kill our kind, don’t you realize that?”

Emily didn’t say anything, because Eros’s grip on her wrist tightened. She could sense that this was not a new disagreement between them. They must have discussed this at some point.

“We don’t get involved with human, Liam,” Eros spoke coldly, he didn’t even use Liam’s title when he addressed him, yet the alpha didn’t seem to mind it at all. “No matter how bad our relationship with the other pack, we are not going to help human to destroy our kind, just to benefit ourselves.”

.....

Liam’s expression hardened when he heard that. “You are not the alpha in this pack, aren’t you?” He leaned his body forward when he spoke again. “Know your position, beta Eros.” He emphasized the word ‘beta’, so Eros knew his rank in this pack, that he was the alpha. “This is my call as an alpha.”

Emily squeezed Eros’s hand so hard for him to notice her was there, as he swallowed back the word that he was about to say. It was a good thing that Emily was there to remind him, because the word that he would say could be counted as a treason.

He wouldn’t only get himself into trouble, but he would drag Emily as well. if it was up to him, he would have Liam’s head right now, yet a close fight with Emily nearby was not a good choice either.

“You used to hate human, what change?” Emily asked, her soft and meek voice thawed the tension in the air and the alpha’s expression softened when he stared at her.

“I don’t hate you,” he stated and then added. “Time changes, everything around us change as well, if we don’t change ourselves and our view, we will be exterminated.”

Human had evolved and their victory against the dragon shifter shook the whole supernatural creature and they could no longer think of human, as a weak creature. They were weak when they had to face one on one, but once they were together and equipped well, they could even tame the dragon shifter.

What happened years ago, when human managed to go out as a victor with the battle against dragon was a shock for them.

Some supernatural creature started to make alliance to destroy human, before they could go even stronger, but some of them, like Liam, chose different path to form alliance with human instead and destroyed their own kind in order to learn about their equipment and how they worked. It also saved them from fighting against them, as they were ally now.

However, Eros and Colton were against this idea. Colluded with human to gain protection from them and sneakily learned about them was below them, Liam’s decision hurt their pride as a supernatural creature. They were stronger than that to have such an ally with human.

“I can’t talk with my beta and gamma, because they can’t see my point,” Liam said, his voice was a little bit sad, which made Eros even more disgusted by his act. “But, you are a human, you must have different point of view from them,” Liam said.

On the other hand, Emily didn’t know what to say when she was put in this kind of spot. She understood why Liam called her, because she was the only human in this pack, aside from Jasmine, since both of them didn’t talk for a long time, the luna’s opinion couldn’t be included.

“We leave,” Eros said. He was fuming, he didn’t want to bow to human. After what he had to endure because of those people and for the record, he knew what kind of facility was that.

He was there. He was their guinea pig for years, since he was born and from what he heard, those filthy people killed his parents, they caught his mother and let her gave born to him. They were killed in one of their experiments.

And now Liam asked him to collude with the same people? Bow his head to them? For what? For the benefit of this pack? What a nonsense thing that he blurted out.

“Sit down,” Liam said sternly when he watched Eros stood up and was about to leave the room with Emily followed him closely.

Yet, Eros didn’t listen to him. He kept walking toward the door, while Emily trembled in fear, she could feel the dominance aura that emanated from the alpha, as he tried to subdue Eros with his alpha’s voice.

“SIT DOWN!” Liam barked, he didn’t mask his anger anymore, he was furious to say the least.

The alpha’s voice boomed inside this room.
