Untamed: The Alpha
Chapter 134

134 MALICE

They soon passed the first guard, walking across the quiet garden. It was only the two of them, since most of the pack members were far away from them when Blue suddenly attacked Liam.

She punched him hard in the face and tackled him to the ground with her arm around his neck, cutting his air supply and suffocating him.

“I am sorry,” Blue said coldly, she was very calm when she did that and only loosened her grip when Liam was no longer moving.

She pushed the man away from her before she sensed someone came closer to her, yet she knew who it was, thus she didn’t need to be on alert.

“Did you kill him?” Meredith asked, her eyes widened in shock. She was scared to see what was happening before her eyes. It took every ounce of courage in her to be able to be part of this plan.

“No.” Blue took a set of clothes and pants from Meredith and without hesitation stripped her dress there. “He just passed out, he will be fine in a few more hours.”

Meredith visibly sighed in relief.

Blue wanted to kill Liam, that thought crossed her mind, but she couldn’t bring herself further than this. She already had enough blood on her hands for the rest of her life, so she didn’t need to add Liam’s to it as well.

“Where is my onlace?” Blue wouldn’t let her weapon be left behind.

.....

“Here.” Meredith handed her the onlace, it sparked beautifully under the moonlight. “What am I supposed to do with him?”

Blue raised her brows. “Had Mateo told you about it?”

“Yes.” Meredith moved her legs nervously. They were supposed to leave Liam like that, that was the plan. “Yes, but... don’t you think he needed medical help? You hit him really hard.”

Blue wanted to laugh at that statement, but unfortunately, she was not her carefree self she was years ago.

“No, he will be fine.” Blue finished wearing her clothes and pants, checking the backpack that Meredith brought with her briefly and was sure that she had enough money inside there for her to last a few days. “I will leave now.”

There was no warm hug or goodbyes when Blue leapt into the darkness, leaving the unconscious Liam, her white dress and Meredith alone there.

She didn’t need to be so sentimental about it, since it would only make things difficult for her and brought nothing in the end.

Meredith turned around and walked away as well, once she couldn’t smell Blue’s scent. She needed to be out of there, before someone caught her.

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

“Where is grandma Anne?” River asked her mother, she looked at her surroundings and couldn’t replace her grandma, while her mother was driving on a main road, where the flashing lights of the cars irritated her eyes.

“Grandma Anne is no longer with us.” Lise focused her eyes on the street in front of her, but she could imagine her daughter’s expression when she said that.

Anne refused to wake her up when she left with July because it would make things hard for them.

She loved River and vice versa, thus to see her begging to not leave, was something that Anne didn’t want to see, just like how she didn’t want to say goodbye to Blue eight years ago...

However, the situation is a little bit different now. After giving River a kiss on her forehead, Anne went to July’s car without even looking back.

Even now, Lise was still trying to deal with her own feelings. Whether her decision was right, or she hurt Anne’s feelings in some way...

“I want grandma!” River shouted at Lise, she was crying now. “I want grandma Anne. You are not fair!” She felt wronged because her mother took everything from her. All of her friends, since they had to move constantly and the only person that was always with her was Anne, since Lise would be busy figuring out a few things for their own safety.

Lise needed to learn a lot of things whenever they were in a new area and decided where they would go even on the first day they settled down in one city, because they didn’t know when The Hound would come and knock on their door, wanting to take River away from her.

However, those things were too much for the little girl and she only needed her grandma now.

“I want my grandma!” River shouted, wailing. “I want my grandma!” She turned around and looked at the road behind her. It was so dark. “I want my grandma! Stop the car!”

“Stop it River!” Lise yelled back at her, she felt overwhelmed with these emotions. “Sit in your seat properly, or you will fall!”

“No! Stop the car!”

“Sit down!”

“Stop the car!”

And the last thing that Lise heard was a loud exploding sound around her, a light so bright before everything went quiet.

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

Blue ran at full speed toward the border of the territory of this pack, she didn’t even waste a second to catch a breath, even when the branches of the trees scratched her legs. She left so many traces behind...

But, it didn’t matter, once she crossed the territory and blended with humans, they wouldn’t be able to replace her by following her scent alone.

She was only a few miles away before she could pass the territory when she felt something change and a rush of adrenaline made her stop running.

She was surrounded.

Blue didn’t realize this until now. How could she not pick any of their scents until they were so close?

Blue lowered her body, she was ready to shift into her beast, but the number of the people and the beasts that approached her was overwhelming. There were too many of them.

“Zuri, where are you going?” Alpha Xerxes emerged from the dark, he looked at Blue with malice in his eyes.
