Untamed: The Alpha

315 HOW OLD ARE YOU?

Zuri had never been this hesitant when she saw a shattered soul before, since she knew what the right thing to do and even though it sounded cruel, letting a shattered soul live would lead to a much worse situation.

Either it was a girl, a child or anyone or any type of creature, she wouldn’t hesitate, since she took it as a duty to help Chaos.

But, Nikolai was different. She knew him since they were little, thus she couldn’t bear being the one to pass the verdict of his death.

However, this young lycan was different. They had never met with each other before. Not even once, yet why was she stupidly reluctant? There was this part in her that didn’t want to hurt him.

“You do realize it, right?” Eros turned around to look Zuri right in the eyes. He looked at her deeply. “I know you can feel it.”

“I don’t know what you meant,” Zuri said languidly. She didn’t show any emotions, choosing to play dumb.

Yes, she felt it. She felt this strong and ridiculous pull between the two of them that she wanted to deny with all she had. This was very absurd. He was too young for her, right?

And that was simply an excuse, since age was not a matter for shifters, as they aged differently from humans. She could be two hundred years old without any difference from the way she looked right now.

“You know exactly what I meant,” Eros frowned, he scoffed, as if he lost his patience with her, which reminded Zuri about how different he was from Chaos.

.....

Chaos had never lost his patience with her.

“So, what do you want, little boy? Mark me? Fuck me?” Zuri was out of her mind right now. There were a lot of things that bothered her and she didn’t need him to add more to her problems.

So, what if there was a high possibility that they were mates?

“I don’t appreciate it when you call me that and watch your words.” Eros growled deeply when he heard the way Zuri talked to him in a highfalutin tone.

Eros was pissed at her and usually, people would back down when they saw him like this, as they could sense the danger rolling off him.

Yet, it didn’t apply to Zuri. She had even seen Chaos in fully enraged mode, facing Eros’ outburst was simply child’s play for her.

“How old are you?” Zuri asked, as she laughed lightly. “Twelve? Thirteen?” She deliberately cut down on his age, wanting to tease him. Well, probably she developed a habit of tantalizing danger whenever she got a chance.

“I am fourteen,” Eros replied defensively. He knew that he was young, but no one ever laughed at his face before this. They took him seriously.

“Okay.” Zuri nodded her head, as she patted his shoulder. There was not a tingling feeling, a spark that erupted between them when she touched him, because the mate bond was not yet there. It would take a few more years for it to strengthen fully. “I hope this is the last time we meet. Don’t try to find me, take this as good advice from me.”

And after saying that, Zuri got out of the car. She touched his shoulder to test herself, whether she would proceed to knock him down or not, but in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to do so. This was not like her, but there was nothing she could do about it.

“Where are you going?” Eros immediately jumped out of the car and blocked her. He held her arm tightly, preventing her from going away.

“Look.” Zuri used her older sister’s tone to talk to Eros, which made him frown. “If you want to live, stay away from me, Chaos will kill you if he catches sight of you.”

“You are with Chaos.” The statement came out as an accusation, as he loosened his grip slightly.

“Yes, I am with him,” Zuri said firmly. “So, stay away from me.”

“I don’t take orders,” Eros replied grimly. His dark blue eyes even became a few shades darker now. “I will meet you again.”

“Fine. Meet me when you think you can overpower Chaos, or...” Zuri then freed herself easily from his grip and looked at him. “Kill Liam for me and maybe I will consider it. Since he seems to trust you so much, it shouldn’t be that difficult, right?”

And after saying that, Zuri shifted into her white beast and rushed away from there, not giving Eros any chance to hold her back again.

She needed to find Chaos and sort out the problem with the dragon, even though she didn’t know how they would deal with an enormous monster like a dragon.

For now, Zuri could forget about her encounter with Eros, but the feeling was definitely not mutual...

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

“What is it?” Jasmine asked Darius when they were in the library, where she spent most of her time gathering more information about the werewolves and all supernatural creatures that she and the organization had never known existed before.

Gathering all of this information seemed a vain attempt to survive in this den of wolves, but somehow, Jasmine believed she would find this useful one day. She just needed to be more patient.

“Why did all of the people become very tense this morning?” Jasmine realized this. It was not hard to spot their restlessness, as if there was something big that was happening.

“You don’t need to know,” Darius said, as he took a book and sat across from Jasmine.

There were only the two of them inside this library, because the other three seemed to have ‘an allergic reaction’ to books. They simply hate reading and chose to stay out of this room.

Annoyed, Jasmine stood up and then walked toward him, as she sat down on the chair next to him.

“Why don’t I need to know? Something big happened?” Jasmine looked at Darius intently, but the man decided to read his book instead.
