Untamed: The Alpha
Chapter 459

459 WE ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER

“We can’t let them replace his body, or else, we will be in a big trouble,” Eros told her calmly, his voice was soothing to her ears, only if she didn’t know the context of their conversation, she would love to hear him talking more. “Can you do it?”

Emily lifted her head to look at Eros, she still didn’t dare to see dead body of Josh. “What will happen after that? They will realize that Josh disappeared.”

Eros glanced at the mound body of Josh. “Let them know. They don’t have any evidence to be suspicious at us.”

“Why you should kill him?” Emily whimpered, her tears welled up on her eyes. It was so lucky that Eros could leave unscathed when he killed Derek, but the second murder would be so hard for him, since the member of this pack wouldn’t accept that.

They even lost their best warrior at that time and the punishment that the alpha directed to Darius, Derek’s brother, was still seen unfair for most of the pack member, but no one would go against the alpha’s words and showed their displeasure openly.

“Because only dead man, who will not say anything.” Which meant, they couldn’t afford to live in wary when he would speak about what he had seen tonight. Both of them knew to not believe anyone else, except each other.

They had learned about it the hard way.

“Can you do it?” Eros asked her again, because she was still shaken up and didn’t answer him. “I have killed one man in the past, this time, I don’t think the alpha will be so much of help if the whole pack learned about it.”

Eros didn’t need to say that, because Emily knew exactly how they current situation was.

.....

“I will do it.” That was the only answer that Emily would give to Eros, despite anything else, no matter what he did, she would always be by his side.

Eros nodded and then kissed her temple, he tucked loose strands of her hair behind her ears and wiped her tears. After that, he poured a glass of water for her to calm herself down, which helped greatly.

Eros was very patient with her, he didn’t rush her and wait until she felt better and did it on her own pace.

It took Emily around five more minutes before she could compose herself and then walked to the desk at the other side of this room, where she usually did her experiment and concocted potions for Xerxes.

She put all of her focus on the table, as she didn’t want to look at the mound of dead body of Josh near the door.

“Are you okay, Emily?” Eros asked her, he approached her to make sure that she was fine. Her face was a little bit pale, but she kept doing what she needed to do. She knew her assignment for this.

“I am fine, you don’t need to worry, this will be done in a few minutes,” Emily said hastily. Her hands kept shaking, while she mixed a few liquids into one small tube.

This was something that she created accidentally, she intended to make medicine that could lighten the color of the scar on her face. She still didn’t give up on that, but accidentally a drop fell on a dead rabbit and the poor thing was burned without fire and disappeared, just like ashes.

Eros was there to witness that, thus it was only her and him, who knew about this. She intentionally didn’t let Ariana knew about it, because she would scold her for creating something dangerous, even though it was an accident.

But, more of that, it was because Eros told her to keep it secret and not to let anyone learn about it.

“Here...” Emily gave a small tube of dark liquid to Eros carefully. He just needed to make a few drops on Josh’s body and all the evidence of his existence would disappear.

Eros would have to do it, because there was no way Emily had the heart to do such cruel thing, even though this was her bully.

She was extremely nervous, her whole body became so cold and she was shivering, as if this was in the middle of winter.

This was the first time for Emily to help Eros with this kind of task and she had a complicated feeling for this.

Eros took the small tube from Emily, as she murmured ‘be careful’, she cared more about him than anything else.

“Of course, I will.” Eros caressed her cheeks and then wiped down his palm gently on her face. “Close your eyes and cover your ears like before.”

If Eros didn’t mistaken, there would be a hissing sound that they would hear and it was a little bit disturbing.

Emily did just like what she was told and turned her body around, while covering her ears and shut her eyes.

After made sure that Emily had covered her ears, he walked toward Josh’s dead body and then gave three drops on it.

Once the liquid touch Josh’s dead body, there was hissing sound that last for around three seconds, before everything vanished, turned into ashes and when the wind blew from the opened window, the poor young warrior’s existence was gone completely.

His family wouldn’t have his body to mourn and his grave wouldn’t have his remaining to be buried.

After everything had disappeared the way he intended, Eros approached Emily and tapped her shoulder lightly, to let her know that everything had done. “Can you do something with the smell of this blood?” Eros asked her.

Emily sneaked a peek at the area around the door, but she couldn’t replace anything there, aside from a little dirt, which would disappear by the wind, if they let the window opened.

No one would know there was a murder happened here a few minutes ago.

“There is no smell of blood.” Emily sniffed the air, but Eros chuckled and tapped her nose with his forefinger.

“Of course, you can’t smell it,” Eros said and then tapped his own nose. “Remember?”

Emily felt a little bit at ease when she watched how Eros was laughing lightly at her. “Well, I think I can do something with this smell.”

“You are so smart, Emily,” Eros was pleased, he reached out his hand to caress her face.

Hearing that, Emily’s face lit up. She always loved to hear such compliment from him, for a moment, she forgot about the poor Josh, but then she would never forget what had happened tonight for the rest of her life.

She didn’t kill him, but she felt no less guilt, as if she was the one, who had done it.

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

Aiden woke up from his sleep and his eyes immediately looked for his twin, Emma, who was still sleeping on the bed.

He always terrified of his own twin, as if there was something in her that emanated danger. As if when he went hunting with their father and he felt the predator that lurked in the dark. The feeling was almost the same.

Emma would have a visitor or two every now and then. He remembered their voices, but he was too afraid to make any noise.

Fortunately, their father would give him room for himself, thus he didn’t need to be in the same room like her.

Even though they were twin, but Aiden didn’t really like her, he liked Kenna better, his five years old sister.

“Why are you staring at me?” Emma opened her eyes all of sudden, but they didn’t look sleepy at all, which made Aiden flinched and then immediately avoided her gaze, as he got off the bed and the wore his slippers.

“I didn’t stare at you,” he said, as he ran away from the room.

It was still early morning and the air was so crisp and fresh. A few guards would greet him when they saw him and he would happily greet them back.

“Sister Emily,” Aiden called her, his face lit up to see his favorite sister.

Of course, Emily was not really his sister, but she had been taking care of him and Emma ever since they were so little.

“Good morning, Aiden,” Emily greeted him, she was a little bit startled to meet him early this morning here. “Why do you wake up so early?”

Aiden rushed toward her and then hugged her. He was a sweet little boy, though she couldn’t say the same to his father. Emily even didn’t believe this sweet little boy was alpha Liam’s son.

“I can’t fall asleep again,” he replied curtly.

“Why? Bad dream?” Emily asked, but she kept glancing behind her shoulder and then took Aiden’s hand to lead him away from this place.

The little boy followed her. “No.” He didn’t want to tell her what he felt, because he was afraid of Emma.

On the other hand, Emily didn’t pay much attention to his answer or to his expression, because there was something more important that she needed to think.

“Why don’t we have a breakfast together?” Emily asked with cheerful voice, which didn’t reach her eyes.

“Yes.” Aiden nodded his head vigorously. Emily was his favorite person. “After that can we see mommy?”

Emily didn’t understand why Aiden wanted to see Jasmine even after how cold she treated him. He always had this bright and happy expression on his face. “Sure.”
