Untamed: The Alpha
Chapter 167

167 I AM DEAD

“Go back to your world if this is too much for you,” Zuri snapped at him and then walked away with the money prize that she just stole from those burglars that wanted to rob her.

Was it right to rob someone, who was about to rob you?

And then, how could this girl say that? Hades owned the underworld and all the dead things in it, how could this be too much for him?

Hades frowned. “Why do I feel like my pride is hurt?”

“You don’t have pride, don’t act like you have one,” Zuri spoke lightly, as she walked away.

“Wah... I don’t believe it. You are worse than them,” Hades grimaced. “That’s so low, you are a thief. Don’t you have any shame girl? I don’t like you.”

However, it was either Zuri didn’t listen to him, or she simply ignored him again, but she said nothing in response to his last statement.

On the other hand, Hades could only click his tongue as he watched the three men on the ground. They were not dead, unfortunately, but surely they had run out of luck the moment they provoked this girl.

But then, at that moment, Hades found the girl even more interesting. She could not only sense Chaos’ shattered soul, but there was something about her.

.....

Stealthy, Hades followed behind her and watched how the girl took in her surroundings, despite the trauma that she received and any horrible moment that she had gone through.

The girl would cry, being at the lowest point in her life, but when she felt better, she was ready to take on the world again.

This was interesting for Hades...

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

“We are heading there, father,” Jasmine informed her father through the phone, while Liam and four shifters, who came with him, were waiting in the room before they took their flight to the frozen lake. “No, I can’t reach Sol,” she said.

Her brother was apparently indulging himself with his childhood first love. The term alone made Jasmine want to vomit. They should have killed the girl and not let her escape that night, just for a useless plan that didn’t turn out well.

If only they could keep her and let her give birth to her non- human being daughter, they would have saved both time and energy. They could have observed her since she was only a babe, which would have given them more information on her, since she was very rare. The little girl was not a vampire, shifter or even a witch.

“Yes, I will keep trying to reach him,” Jasmine said solemnly, but her eyes showed how much she hated the idea that her father still didn’t want to get rid of his useless son. In her opinion, she was more than enough for her father. She would be a great successor to him and his legacy. “Yes, I will keep my eyes on him.”

And after a few more talks, Jasmine hung up the call. Her expression didn’t look good, she hated it when her father didn’t acknowledge what she had done for the organization.

But when she was deep in thought, her body suddenly jolted as someone hugged her from behind.

“What are you doing?” Jasmine hissed when Liam rested his chin on her shoulder and kissed her neck. “Someone will see us.”

“Let them see us,” Liam murmured against her skin, it was hard for him to keep his hands off her. “You are my mate.”

“Liam!” Jasmine called his name sternly and shoved him away from her. The moment she turned around, she could see the hurt in his eyes. He was hurt by her reaction.

Therefore, despite her unhappiness for being mistreated by her father, Jasmine suppressed her ego and went to him, kissed both of his cheeks and talked to him in a gentle tone.

“We can’t afford to let anyone see us. You know the problem between us is very complicated.”

No one knew about this forbidden relationship and Jasmine didn’t have any intention of letting others know about this any soon.

The daughter of the head of The Hound was mates with the Alpha off the largest pack of the shifters? That sounded very ridiculous. Jasmine didn’t want to jeopardize the image that she had built for the public.

But, she needed to keep Liam wrapped around her fingers, just in case. He would come to use someday.

“You keep saying that,” Liam growled and then got out of the room to join the other shifters from his pack, his eyes slightly darker when he shoved Jasmine aside and this made the girl gritt her teeth.

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

“What are you waiting for?” Hades asked her when he saw that Zuri had been standing in the same position for more than twenty minutes, staring at the manor.

This manor originally was the McKeltar’s property, but the attack eight years ago and the disappearance of all the members of the McKeltar family turned this place into an abandoned building.

However, little did they know that this building was bought by an artist, who had retired from her career and chose to stay here two years ago.

Yes, this place was where July managed her organization from, gathering all the shifters and people, who didn’t have the same opinion as The Hound, those people, who didn’t see the non- human beings as a threat.

Zuri learned about it through the information that she gathered when she was still in Xerxes’s pack.

“Should I ring the bell?” Hades was being impatient with Zuri now, he didn’t come here to see her go into a trance. He wanted to see what she was going to do when she entered the place that was filled with memories for her.

Would she still keep her stoic expression?

“I will kill you if you dare...” but, before Zuri could finish her words, Hades had rang the bell and the sound was very loud.

“But, I am already dead, I can’t be more dead than this.”
