Untamed: The Alpha

164 DON’T DIE

Hades put both of his hands on either side of Zuri’s face, as he could see how much repulsion that she was trying to suppress. She looked like she was going to die in disgust any moment now. He could feel her claws curling before stabbing the backs of his hands.

But, Hades didn’t let her go. There was no way he would let her go. He liked the look on her face and this excited him.

“Stop fighting me and feel this. You don’t feel repulsed by me, do you?” Hades said, his face was very close, a bit more close and he could feel her trembling lips on his. “Breath, Blue... breath...”

“Don’t... call me... that...” Zuri tried so hard to talk in her current condition, she felt suffocated by the closeness between them, but she came to hate the name, and the way he called her with that name.

“Can you see that?” Hades ignored her attempt to shove him away. She was too weak for him. “You don’t feel repulsed by me anymore, right?”

Zuri looked him in the eyes and she felt this slight change. Right. He was right... the feeling that she felt right now was only discomfort, not repulsion...

She could feel his cold palms against her cheeks. This was a different touch. His touch was cold, not warm like Emmet’s and bit by bit, her breathing became even and this didn’t go unnoticed by the god of the underworld, as a smirk tugged on the corners of his lips.

However, his joyful moment didn’t last for a long time, because right at that time, Zuri’s hazel eyes turned sharp and she kicked him away from her.

Hades was caught off guard as his body fell back really hard, but then before he could make a lot of noise, he disappeared and reappeared on the bed again, sitting cross legged there, like a child, who was asking for candy.

.....

“You are so harsh,” he complained. “I just want to help you.”

“Get away from here,” Zuri gritted her teeth. She didn’t move from her spot and pulled her legs closer to her chest, looking for some comfort by hugging herself. How could he do that? She felt like she was about to throw up every time there was someone close enough to her, but he touched her and the only thing that she felt was only discomfort.

“See? You can touch me and only me...” Hades stated cheerfully, but in his eyes, his yellow eyes... there was a deeper meaning behind it.

On the other hand, Zuri averted her eyes from him, as if by doing so, she didn’t need to see him again. She didn’t want to see him, or anyone.

“Don’t even think of ending your life, because you will end up with me,” Hades said and when Zuri lifted her head to look at him, the devil had disappeared.

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

“Where are you going?” Jasmine asked sleepily when she saw Liam get off the bed and take his clothes from the floor.

“I have to go to meet your father, remember?” Liam said, as he put on his pants and his shirt, yet he heard a chuckle from the bed and turned to see how Jasmine laughed at him, her body was glistening with sweat and she looked marvelous. “What is it?”

Out of instinct, Liam walked closer to Jasmine and sat down on the edge of the bed, trying to get her attention and stop her from laughing.

“I think you made me forget to inform you about the meeting,” Jasmine said, she then sat down straight and kissed Liam on the cheek, while the man was staring at her in confusion. “Father got a report that there is an activity under the frozen lake, they seem to finally find Chaos. The abomination. And now, he went to the site.” Jasmine shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.

Hearing that, Liam’s eyes widened. “So, why didn’t you cancel this meeting then?” Liam narrowed his eyes.

He was supposed to meet Archie Williams, Jasmine’s father, in this hotel, but he intentionally came earlier so he could spend some time with his mate, and as sardonic as it sounded, she was his mate, he figured this out two years ago, when he came of age to find his mate.

It was one chaotic night when The Hound engaged in a fight against their pack. Liam knew right away that she was his mate once he laid his eyes on her.

“Because I want to see you,” Jasmine said sweetly.

The answer, of course, pleased Liam, as he leaned over and pressed his lips against hers. The urge to mark her came back again and before he gave into it, he pulled back. “You are so cheeky.”

“Cheeky?” Jasmine raised her brows. “That sounds childish.”

And Liam laughed at that comment, he knew exactly that Jasmine wouldn’t want to be treated as a young teenage girl, she would be irritated whenever she heard that kind of compliment.

“My beautiful woman, then...” Liam corrected himself and saw the approval in Jasmine’s eyes when she heard that. “So, what am I going to do now? I need to reschedule my meeting with your father, right?”

“You don’t need to reschedule anything, you will talk to me about what you want and I will convey it to my father.” Jasmine traced her fingers on his neck and elicited a deep growl from him, as he stared at him in dark gaze.

“But, I need to meet your father directly. This is not all about conveying my message, you know that.” Liam caught her hand and kissed her knuckles.

Liam was an alpha, he wouldn’t want to talk about this important matter to someone less than his position, even though it was his own mate.

Jasmine sighed when she heard that. “I know you will say something like this,” she said lightly. “In that case, why don’t we go to the frozen lake?”
