UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

Jasmine didn't think that Liam would dare to do something horrible to her. She was his mate after all and no matter what she had done, even though that was something unforgivable, he would find a way to make an exception for her.

Therefore, seeing the hatred in his eyes as he ripped her dress apart left her shocked beyond words. He hated her and she had no doubt about it.

Jasmine shrieked, as she crouched down to cover her body. She knew that she didn't need to do that, since both of them had already done it countless times in the past and seeing each other's naked bodies was not something new for them.

But still, for Jasmine, it was humiliating to see the way Liam looked at her with such hatred right now. There was no love, it was just hostility and lust laced with irreplaceable hatred.

"Do you want to go like this to the dining hall?" Liam didn't even try to comfort her. He crossed his arms in front of his chest arrogantly, while looking down at her. "I am sure those mate-less wolves will be glad to vent their frustrations on you. What do you think?"

Jasmine lifted her head, trying to gather whatever little bits of pride that was left in her. "I am your mate, you will not be able to bear watching me being touched by those shifters." A small smile grazed the corners of her lips when she said that, especially when she knew it was true.

The look in Liam's expression became even colder when he grabbed Jasmine by her hair and made her stand up straight, leaving her body in full display for his eyes to lust over.

"Maybe not," he smirked, but then his eyes glazed over, indicating that he was communicating with someone through the mind- link. "But, I have a much better idea."

Liam threw Jasmine on the bed and threw away the blanket, so she wouldn't be able to hide herself.

Liam knew about Jasmine's insecurities of her body, as she aged, her body had gradually changed, though it was not significant, but her current thirty six years old self would never be comparable to herself the first time they met each other.

Jasmine was fine with that. She gritted her teeth and reminded herself there was nothing she needed to hide, since Liam had seen her countless times after all.

But then, her eyes opened wide when she saw three people walk into the room. Those men laid their eyes on her and were a little bit confused at first, but then Jasmine could feel lust and hostility become evident in their eyes.

They knew who she was. The woman, who led an army to massacre the people of their pack, even children were not spared by them.

"Fuck you, Liam!" Jasmine's eyes were bloodshot red when she realized what Liam was going to do to her. He was crazy. He had lost his mind to even think of this.

"Yes, honey, I am going to fuck you in front of them." Liam came closer to Jasmine, who was desperate enough to hide her naked body from the three pairs of stranger's eyes that were locked on her body with malicious intentions. "You are right about me not being able to bear them touching you, but at least they could enjoy watching me in action."

Liam grabbed Jasmine's hair and flipped her body, letting them see how he was doing it with her, how she screamed to make Liam stop, but he refused to listen.

He didn't even care if he humiliated her or even hurt her…

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

Knox returned to the manor after sealing a deal with the coven of witches, only to find their bedroom empty. July was not there. She was supposed to be there, as they promised to have dinner together.

"July is in the north wing," Sebastian said when Knox asked him about July. "She has been there since those shifters came."

"Who had come?" Knox narrowed his eyes. He didn't really like letting supernatural creatures near her, since she was human. No matter how good July was in handling herself, she wouldn't be able to overpower those creatures alone.

"Shifters from Shadow Moon pack, they came here looking for shelter," Sebastian replied.

"What is she doing there?" Knox started to walk toward the north wing with Sebastian following in his tow.

Sebastian then told him about the injuries that they suffered and how they were even hunted down by vampires before they could reach this manor.

However, that explanation didn't provide a solid reason as to why July had still stayed there even now.

"She is captivated by their daughter." Sebastian then proceeded to explain that it was a family of three with a little girl around the age of two and ever since July was allowed to carry the child and show her the manor, she had been with her.

Knox knew where this fascination came from…

"And now she is…" Sebastian didn't have to finish his words when he realized that Knox had disappeared from next to him. He stayed until now just because he still had questions to ask him and now when he had answered all of his questions, he disappeared without even saying anything. "Supernatural creatures…" he sighed.

At first, it was indeed a huge surprise for him to learn that Knox and the two McKeltar brothers were actually supernatural creatures, but now, he had gotten used to it.

"At least say something before you disappear like a ghost," Sebastian mumbled.

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

Vanesha gave Mohan a prescription for him to have a better sleep and then they conversed a little bit about Nikolai, since topics related to her brother were the only common things between the two.

"Thank you," Mohan said in a low voice, as he walked out of the infirmary with the medicine that he needed.

"Say hi to my brother," Vanesha said.

But when Mohan opened the door, at the same time, from the other side of it, Sol pushed the door as well and both of them almost ran into each other.

"Commander Sol," Mohan greeted him, as the latter nodded slightly to acknowledge it. Mohan then closed the door behind him as he walked out, leaving the two of them inside the room.

"I need you to check on the girl." They got used to calling their most precious experimental subject as 'the girl', since she had been with them since she was eight years old and even after a few years had passed, she was still a mystery, since it was hard to classify her into any supernatural creatures that they knew.

"Okay," Vanesha replied and immediately removed her gloves to approach Sol. "But, I just checked on her a few hours ago, is there something wrong?"

Sol shook his head. "No, but I want to try something on her."

Hearing that, Vanesha knew what she was dealing with and before Sol could open the door for both of them, she pushed it back and stood in front of Sol, leaning against the door.

"Is this illegal?" she asked in a low voice, since she knew it was a secret. It would only be added to all the other secrets between them. "Do the people from the higher rank know about this?"

Sol's eyes hardened when he heard that, but Vanesha could say that her suspicion was right.

"They don't know, do they?"

"You do what I told you," Sol said sternly, but it didn't make Vanesha budge. She looked him dead in the eyes instead.

"And what do I get from you?" Vanesha lifted her chin, knowing that she was going to win this argument. "I have done everything for you, but what will you do for me?"

"Are you blackmailing me?" Sol swatted her hand away from him when she tried to touch him. This young girl had become even more brazen now.

"I will not do that. I like you and you know that too."

Sol gritted his teeth. "You are eighteen years younger than me!" he blurted out with anger.

Yet, Vanesha didn't budge. She knew that. She could do the math very well, but she was not going to let that deter her.

"You don't think I am way younger than you when you did it with me," she said calmly. "That was my first time."

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

Knox knew about July's wish to be a mother, to have a normal family of her own, especially when she was no longer young now.

Yet, she should have known that Knox wouldn't be able to give it to her. If it was a normal family that she wanted, then she wouldn't get it from Knox, since he was not normal no matter how you looked at this matter.

Therefore, when Knox found July carrying the little kid, smiling very genuinely, he felt something inside of him flip.

How would it feel to have a normal family that July wanted? To have a kid of their own and watch him or her grow up?

A little creature that resembled him and her…. How would it feel?

"Knox?" July called out to him, as she realized someone was staring at her and then turned around to find Know standing not too far from her and the baby. "Did you meet Sebastian?"

"Yes, I met him." Knox's eyes were glued to July's cheerful expression. This was the first time after weeks she looked this excited, looking so alive for the first time after she brought up the idea of having a child with him.

"Did he tell you about the shifters that came this afternoon?" she asked, so she wouldn't need to explain this thing again.

"Yes, he told me." Knox nodded. When July came closer and stopped right in front of him, only then could he see the color of the little girl's eyes in her arms. They were deep blue in color and Knox had a bad feeling about it.
