Untamed: The Alpha
Chapter 478 - 478 SHE WAS ALL SHE NEEDED

478 SHE WAS ALL SHE NEEDED

Vanesha looked at the message that was sent to her, she frowned and then took a glance at Eros. Was he the lycan?

She knew the three men were shifter and the girl was the only human, but that man was a lycan?

“So, you are the lycan in the pack,” Vanesha said, as she put down her phone. “My people just confirmed it.”

Eros glanced at her, but said nothing. He didn’t know what it was a problem for him to be a lycan when they were here not for that.

Eros looked at Colton, he was trying to gauge his reaction, but he said nothing. It seemed, Liam and Colton had discussed a few things behind his back that he didn’t know about, such as; this woman. Since when they had this corporation?

But, to think about it again, it was not strange for Liam to trust Colton more, since they had known each other longer and the gamma was someone that would be loyal to his alpha, whoever it was.

Shouldn’t he swift the role? Colton should be the beta in that case…

Yet, Eros’s line of thought was interrupted by Vanesha’s comment. “We don’t we try this on him to make sure whether it is working or not?” Vanesha suggested. “We need someone to try it after all.”

“You want me to lose my ability?” Eros raised his brows. He didn’t feel anything toward this woman before, but now he disliked her.

.....

“We have someone to try it,” Colton interjected with this conversation. He gave Vanesha a sharp glare. “We have discussed this before, so stop with your nonsense.”

Vanesha looked at Colton for a while before she nodded. “I just suggested something.” She shrugged her shoulder nonchalantly, as if she had done nothing wrong. “I mean a lycan is a stronger beast than a werewolf, everyone in circle like us know that, so it will be more believable if he tries it, right? Just a logic.”

“Keep your logic to yourself,” Emily snapped at her, but her eyes were still on the two tubes in her hands.

“Oh, you can bite too,” Vanesha remarked and it earned a vicious growl from Eros. “Relax. I just relayed what my boss told me to say, this is his suggestion. If you don’t want, then we can proceed the way we have agreed on.”

Emily glanced at Vanesha and found she was smiling at her. What that smile for?

“Who will volunteer to try this on?” Emily looked at Colton, while the two tubes in front of her had changed it color into dirty brown.

This meeting wouldn’t lead to anything if they couldn’t try this. Emily was not sure what the deal between this woman named Vanesha with Alpha Liam, thus she was here to do her job only.

Emily looked at Eros when Colton didn’t answer her, but he didn’t seem to know about that.

“Let’s move to another place, so we can try this on,” Vanesha said and then she stood up, followed by Colton, yet the gamma’s expression was so hostile, as if there was something that bothered him and he couldn’t get it off his chest.

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

Zuri laid on her bed, she covered her eyes with her arm, as she remembered what was happening earlier. Her heart was still beating so fast, she couldn’t help, but thinking this was insane. This was completely insane…

She had checked on with Gael about people from the shadow moon pack, of course, she didn’t say that she met with her mate.

Eros.

The man slept in the same room with a girl named Emily and it was noted that way. Who was her? Why they slept together?

She should be happy if he was with someone else, right? She was with Chaos too. However, this stupid mate bond really annoyed her with this unnecessary feeling and anxiety. If she could, she would tear the bond between them with her own bare hands.

After all, this mate bond between them wouldn’t bring any good for either of them. She should have rejected him on the spot…

If they crossed path again, she would do that, but she hoped, she would never see him again. She didn’t want to deal with him.

But then…

There would be time when she had to see him. He was Chaos’s shattered soul after all. She needed to see him. She needed to tell Chaos about this, so he could…

“Ah…” Zuri clutched her chest, she was in pain, thinking about killing her own mate made her in so much pain, what if Chaos really killed him? Could she keep her poker face and acted as if there was nothing happened? And moved on?

Tear streamed down from her eyes and she wiped it roughly, hastily, she didn’t want to cry over someone that she didn’t know.

At this point, she remembered what her father said, it was a long, long memory that almost faded from her mind, she didn’t even think she still had it in her to remember her father.

‘Meeting your mate is the most wonderful feeling in your entire existence. You will think all of your prayers come true and you will only know happiness.’

Damn it.

If Zuri could meet her father again, she would have reprimanded him for saying such nonsense. How could this pain was the most wonderful feeling?

She gritted her teeth, she wanted to curse and get angry, but she didn’t know where to direct this bitter feeling to. She could be angry to herself right now.

“Why are you so upset?”

Zuri almost screamed when all of sudden Chaos was already sitting next to her. No, she was resting her head on his laps. Ck! How nice it was if she could do some magic and teleport herself everywhere as she pleased.

Zuri wanted to sit down, but Chaos simply pushed her head back and let her to use his laps as a pillow. “Why are you crying?”

His voice was so soft, but left traces of sadness. His long finger wiped away her tear and there was a deep frown between his brows.

“Did I make you cry again?”

Zuri felt her throat became dry when she heard that words. Was he the reason why she was crying? The answer was yes. In a way. He was the reason why she was crying.

“Yes.” The answer was curt and cold, she pressed her lips together so she wouldn’t sob, because seeing his expression right now make her wanted to cry out loud. This life was so tiring, she felt suffocated and wanted to rest. She didn’t want to feel this pain and sadness anymore.

“I am sorry,” Chaos whispered to her, he leaned over and rested his forehead against hers, while he caressed her long, white hair. “I am sorry for making you cry again.”

This was the first time they met and had this conversation after their argument about whether Zuri was allowed to go or not.

Zuri wanted to say that she was fine, that she was all right, but she couldn’t. The word stuck in her throat and she felt this sharp pain in her heart.

She would have never thought that they would make up this way, that he would come to replace her when she was like this.

She hoped Chaos didn’t know what she was feeling right now and the true reason why she was crying, she hoped she could sort out her feeling before she met with Eros again and Chaos would never know about this.

“Don’t cry, please…” he pleaded, because he couldn’t take it. “I am sorry.”

No. I am the one who should say sorry to you.

However, the word only echoed in her mind, while her tears didn’t stop flowing down her eyes. She raised her hand and combed his hair, she felt the softness of his hair between her fingers.

This was all she needed and Chaos was all she wanted, yet her heart ached so bad for someone else at the same time.

Stupid mate bond!

She felt guilty for something that even not her fault!

“Don’t bite your lip like that,” Chaos commented, he lifted his head and pinched her chin to release her lip from her teeth, he caressed her lip with his thumb gently.

“Stop biting your lip like that.” Chaos stared at Zuri intently. She had stopped crying, but the pain was still in her eyes. “I don’t mean to hurt you…”

“Kiss me…” Zuri said. Her voice trembled, she wanted to wash away her irrelevant feeling toward Eros with his touch. It was selfish of her to use Chaos this way, but this was hardly her fault. “Kiss me, please…”

Chaos leaned over, he obliged to her plea. He pressed his lips against her ever so gently and placed his warm palm on her cheek, while Zuri pulled him closer to him.

This was the feeling that Zuri wanted, this was the closeness that she needed from him and this was enough for Zuri. He didn’t need anything else. Chaos was all she needed.

Zuri wanted to throw away all of her feeling toward Eros and succumbed herself to Chaos. He wanted his scent to linger around her and his hands would always hold her close to him.

She wanted his lips to only kiss her and his mind to always think about her.

And she wanted it was only him in her mind too.
