Untamed: The Alpha

292 FINDING OUT EROS’S MATE

Liam could see Eros talking to Emily in the front yard of the pack house. The girl had started to grow into a beautiful young woman and it would be great if he could figure out whether or not she was his mate.

She would be a great asset for him, as long as he could get a hold of her, but she would be useless if she was not, as once Eros turned seventeen and he met his mate, he wouldn’t care much about her.

“Do you really want to know who his mate is?” Aaron asked Liam. He appeared all of a sudden beside him and startled the alpha.

“What do you want?” Liam looked around him, but there was no one nearby and he was still too far from Eros and Emily for them to notice him and this devil.

“I asked you, is it true that you want to know who his mate is?” Aaron stopped in front of Liam, blocking his way. “I can help you with that.”

Liam stopped walking; he looked at Aaron intently, as he couldn’t figure out what this devil’s intention was. He had made the first mistake by striking a deal with him, but he thought that was it. Liam decided to cut all ties with him and find a way to save his daughter once she turned seventeen.

The year that he promised the devil he could take her away.

It sounded impossible, but it was worth trying. There was no way in hell he would let his daughter be the bride of the devil.

“How?” Liam gritted his teeth.

.....

He shouldn’t have asked, but this was one thing that he needed to know, moreover it was only an innocent question, it wouldn’t hurt anyone.

Yet, little did he know, this was how the devil led people. He would give you the thing that you needed, an innocent, simple thing that you thought harmless, no matter how small it was, until you become reliant on him and would do what you wanted and by the time you realized, you would have been trapped, and dancing in his palm without even knowing it.

“It’s easy.” Aaron’s golden eyes shone brightly under the sunlight. His appearance was otherworldly, his appearance alone would make any woman follow every word that he uttered, but at the same time, he gave off a dangerous feeling. “Because I know who it is. You know who she is.”

Liam narrowed his eyes a little when he heard this and then immediately looked back at Eros and Emily.

“Nah, it is not her,” Aaron said, wiggling his finger lazily. “She is nothing. You should get rid of her once that young lycan is done with her.”

Liam ignored the last comment. He didn’t like to be told what he should do or not, but to know that it was not Emily eased his mind a little, so he could form a plan about what he was going to do with that little human.

“Who is it?” Liam pressed this matter more. He needed to get his hands on this person, so he could have Eros around his finger.

Aaron didn’t answer him immediately, he just stared at the alpha for a full ten seconds, making Liam grow angrier, but that was what he wanted. The devil loved to annoy him and this time, Liam refused to cater to him. Instead, he looked at him calmly, until Aaron decided to speak.

“Go to East Draghar, Kalee city and find a bar named Neon Nights at ten p.m sharp one week from now. You will know who his mate is, since you know her as well.” Aaron smirked at him, his eyes looked very excited. “But, you need to be careful. You can lose that boy if you are not tactful enough.”

Liam gritted his teeth, he didn’t want to ask, but Aaron talked enticingly, as he led this conversation in such a way that piqued the alpha’s interest. After all, this was one of the devil’s charms.

“What do you mean by that?” Liam asked him, but Aaron said nothing, he just laughed and his body started to fade away, as he heard a whisper in his ears saying; come and you will know.

East Draghar, Kalee city, Neon Nights, ten p.m.

The words echoed in his mind and there was no way he could forget that. A tiny part of Liam wanted to ignore it, but the problem was; a big part of him, the curious one, the impulsive one, screamed at him to go and see who it would be.

“What is it, Liam?” Eros asked him. He was not used to addressing him as the alpha when it was only the two of them. Liam had spoken to Eros about this countless times, but everytime, he would ignore him.

Liam must have been spacing out because he didn’t realize when Eros and Emily walked over to him.

“Are we going now?” Eros asked Liam, while Emily stood slightly behind him. This useless human...

All this time, Liam had been hanging onto the benefit of doubt that she could be Eros’ mate, but if she was not, she would only be useful until Eros found his.

“Yes.” Liam nodded. “But, we will go to East Draghar and I think we will be away for more than two days.” Liam shifted his attention toward Emily and smiled sweetly at the little girl. “You don’t mind it right, Emily?”

“For how long?” Emily asked quietly. She felt unsettled whenever Eros would be out of the pack, especially when he left for more than two days.

“Hm... let’s say two weeks.” It would take them five days to reach East Draghar with all the security at the border. It would be hard for them to cross it, especially when they were supernatural creatures.

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

Norbeat screamed, as the first thing that he saw when he opened his eyes was the white wolf, sticking out her tongue to lick him. Yuck! He hated it. White only did that to annoy him and Zuri did nothing to stop her, since it was fun to see his reaction.

“Can you make your pet behave!?” Norbeat snapped at Zuri, who was sitting in the front seat with Chaos.

But the girl had just woken up from her sleep, that was too because of his screams. She didn’t even know what was going on.

“Ah, you are so noisy...” Zuri grumbled, she curled her body again and proceeded to fall back asleep. She had fallen asleep for less than three hours. She needed more rest. After all, Chaos wanted to check something in a different city, so they would be on the road for a few days before they reached their destination.

“Get your pet...” Norbeat began, but in the middle of his sentence, he lost his voice. All of a sudden, there was no sound that came out of his open mouth, no matter how hard he tried to scream, which made him panic.

However, the little boy couldn’t do much, since the huge white wolf pinned him down and snarled at him, baring her teeth to scare the shit out of him, because the first thought that would come to your mind was; this animal would be able to tear your neck apart within seconds, seeing how fierce it was.

The poor soul possessor was trying to compose himself, but in the end, he broke into tears, as he was afraid of the wolf, only then did White get off him and sit on her side. Her lips tugged upward, as if she was smirking at how foolish it was for the little boy to cry.

On the other hand, Norbeat knew who had done this to him, who would be so cruel to take his voice away, just so he wouldn’t disturb that girl’s sleep.

‘Hu hu hu... Lord Chaos, you are so mean... I am your loyal servant, but you choose that girl over me... you even gave the onlace to her and now you gave away your precious sword to her.’

Norbeat could only complain in his mind, as he was determined to find another body once they met with other people. It was a pain to be in this little boy’s body. The wolf didn’t respect him at all while Zuri didn’t take him seriously.

In hindsight, who would take the words of a five year old kid seriously? No matter how serious he became, Zuri would pinch his cheeks and look at him adorably, but once he threw a tantrum, that wicked girl would kick him.

Meanwhile, in the front seat, Zuri was trying to cover her face because the light of the sun blinded her and made her feel uncomfortable, seeing that, Chaos simply flicked his fingers and the light dimmed gradually, at least inside this car, so it would be comfortable enough for Zuri to continue her sleep.

Witnessing what Chaos had done, Norbeat could only wail in silence. Why would lord Chaos waste his time and energy for her? What was so special about her?

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

Emily didn’t like it when Eros went away for such a long time. Two weeks. She would be alone in this pack for two weeks.

It almost felt like she had to look behind her back every time she walked out of her room or needed to check on the door whether or not it was locked twice or thrice.

She hoped this was only her being overly paranoid about the people in this pack.
