Untamed: The Alpha

205 I FOUND YOU

Eros pulled Emily’s hand to run, heading in the direction where all the people were running. Occasionally, he would look over his shoulder to see what was going on behind him, but he couldn’t see what kind of supernatural creature was actually chasing after them.

The calamity of the non-human being’s existence could be felt first hand before the real creatures came. But to be seen by them was entirely a different level of horrible experience. The horror reached them and made all of the people unable to think about anything else, except saving their own lives or the people that they loved.

Eros gripped Emily’s little hand, so she wouldn’t be lost in this sea of people, forcing her little feet to be able to keep up with him.

“I can’t breathe... I can’t run anymore...” Emily whimpered. “I don’t want to run anymore...”

The poor little girl felt like her heart would explode anytime soon if she was forced to move forward even an inch more. She was running out of breath when she suddenly knelt down and hugged her teddy bear. Refusing to move.

“Emily, we need to go,” Eros said in a stern voice, but his eyes skimmed the area around them and sniffed the air, trying to see any danger that lurked around him.

Now, they were no longer surrounded by people, as the two children had lagged behind too far from the others.

“I can’t run anymore...” Emily whimpered, she wiped her face and sobbed. “My legs hurt.”

On the other hand, Eros narrowed his eyes when he felt there was something approaching them. This was something serious and dangerous.

.....

“Emily, get up.” This time, his voice was way more rigid and cold. He looked into the far distance and yanked his sister to stand up. “Get up now.”

Emily immediately stood up when Eros growled loudly.

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

Zuri saw Vanessa standing next to her car, stupefied when she looked into the distance, where the night sky turned into a sea of darkness with ripples of bright fire in the middle of it, inflaming a burnt electric tower in its wake.

“Oh, Blue... I can’t find the cake, but what is that?” Vanessa said immediately when Zuri came closer to her. She couldn’t find the cake that had never existed.

“Vanessa, go back to your brother and leave this city,” Zuri repeated what she had said to Nikolai earlier and then took the car key from Vanessa’s hand.

“But...” However, before she could ask or protest about why they should leave the city, Zuri had stuffed something into her hands.

It was money. A lot of money. Vanessa had never seen so much money like this and was stupefied.

“Leave.”

And after saying that, Zuri stepped into her car and drove away. She didn’t even say a goodbye or provide any other explanation as she disappeared out of her sight.

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

Lise closed her eyes when the door broke down and the only thing that could protect her was gone, she braced herself for the end of her life.

The only regret that she had was; she was not able to see her daughter for one last time, she couldn’t assure that she was fine, she couldn’t save her from this place, no matter how hard she had tried.

Lise bit her bottom lip when she felt the creature that came at her had set its eyes on her. This creature came closer and closer, and Lise had resigned herself to the agony that would come.

However, it didn’t happen.

Instead of the sharp claws that would dig into her flesh, she felt someone touch her head and caress her hair gently.

The gentleness was surreal and she didn’t expect that. That was the last thing that she could think of at a time like this.

Lise didn’t even have the strength to fight back when this creature pulled her closer and hugged her carefully.

He rested his head on her shoulder and then breathed into her ear, a soft voice, a sound that belonged in the past until now and had brought countless nightmares to her.

“I finally found you.”

Lise knew his voice, even when she couldn’t see his face as he pressed her against his chest. But this warmth, his warmth... was something that her body recognized.

Out of instinct, Lise moved her hand and hugged him back, the rush of relief in her blood brought tears to her eyes, as she sobbed softly against his chest.

“You are here...”

“I am here.”

Behind them, the commotion was still happening, the loud screams and the voices of people calling for help were still echoing through the rooms and reverberated through the corridors.

The sound of it alone could make you suffer the worst nightmares for the rest of your life, but Lise was safe in Gael’s arms.

They stayed like that for a moment before Gael freed himself and decided that it was time to leave. They couldn’t waste their time there anymore.

Even if Gael could fight all the supernatural creatures, this building wouldn’t be able to withstand the damage that had been done.

If anything, they could be buried alive in this place.

“We need to get out of here,” Gael said grimly. He took off his jacket and put it on Lise’s shoulders, as he helped her to stand up and proceeded to go out of this building.

Not even once, Gael let go of her or put her in harm’s way...

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

“Congratulations!”

Zuri almost got into a fatal accident when Hades appeared all of a sudden in the shotgun seat, shouting at her his congratulatory words, while grinning from ear to ear.

He tilted his head lazily at Zuri, chuckling to see her furious expression.

“Fuck you, Hades!” Zuri hissed, as she gained her composure and steady the steering wheel. She shot a death glare at him briefly, before she put her focus on the chaotic road again.

However, Hades didn’t care about that, as he spoke dreamily. “See? I told you that you will bring Chaos to this realm.”
