UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

"Is he all right?" Emily wanted to know if he was alright, because she was afraid that something bad would happen to him.

She didn't see clearly what had happened to Derek, but she knew it was bad, very bad. She managed to catch a glimpse of his torn and bleeding body as they tried to get Eros under control, by putting something around his ankle, which forced him to shift back into his human's form.

However, Emily wouldn't be able to forget the fact that he had killed Derek. He killed the man that had been bullying her.

She should feel relief upon hearing that, knowing no one would be daring enough to make fun of her, especially with her current condition, but on the other hand, she couldn't help it, there was a little bit of fear in her heart for the result of Eros' outburst.

For now, Eros was under the supervision of the gamma, Colton, and another two warriors. They were paying close attention to him, as if he could have another outburst again.

Not so long after that, someone opened the door and walked into the room to approach the gamma immediately.

"How is he?" The alpha immediately asked Colton about the situation here and the gamma briefed him, pointing out the main issue and what he had done as damage control for this issue.

On the other hand, Emily didn't care much about hearing what was happening until she heard her name being mentioned by Colton.

They weren't talking about it in whispers, nor were they being secretive, therefore, she could hear them just find. However, her mind was not on the right track for now.

Emily tilted her head and managed to catch the rest of the conversation that shone light on the reason why the fight happened in the first place and according to what the gamma said, it seemed, the fight happened because of her…

Because of the pictures that were taken by Derek when he and his friends bullied her.

At that time, Emily felt her heart stop beating. She knew exactly what kind of pictures that they had taken and how embarrassed she felt about Eros seeing them.

Emily knew that Derek must have distributed those embarrassing pictures to anyone who wanted to see them, and added a few degrading stories about what happened when they took those pictures in his stride. Emily was well aware of that.

But, Eros was the last person she wanted to see all that. She could care less about the others, but she cared about how Eros would see her after seeing such pictures of herself.

Emily was way more embarrassed when she knew Eros saw those pictures, rather than knowing the rest of the pack had seen her in such a hopeless state.

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

Liam didn't return to their bedroom until midnight, apparently what Ariana had said was true. Why did she need to lie to her?

And it seemed he was caught up with a lot of things or maybe he just didn't want to see her.

None of that mattered to Jasmine right now, as she took her jacket and walked out of the room to go to Colton's bedroom. She knew Ariana would be there at this hour.

As usual, all of the guards followed her and Randy gave her a dirty look, as he thought Jasmine would go to visit Darius, knowing he just lost his younger brother, but the confusion could be clearly seen in his expression when Jasmine came to visit Ariana instead, in her bedroom.

"Can I come in?" Jasmine asked. She squared her shoulders and looked at Ariana firmly, letting her know what all of this was about by visiting her at such an hour.

"Sure," Ariana said, slightly confused, but she opened her bedroom wider. "Colton is still with the alpha," she informed her, even though Jasmine didn't ask about that. "Do you want to drink something?"

Jasmine shook her head and then started to speak. "I will not bore you with small talk," she started and this grabbed Ariana's attention.

For now, Jasmine was standing right in front of the closed door, staring at Ariana, while the healer stood not too far from her.

"Do you mean what you said to me this afternoon?" Jasmine fixed her eyes on her and tried to gauge her reaction.

"Yes."

"Did we have the same thought or I just misinterpreted your words?"

"No, you don't." Ariana shook her head. She knew what would come next.

Jasmine nodded and then took a deep breath before she spoke firmly. "I want you to get rid of this 'thing'."

Arian knew there would be great consequences for her action, but she didn't have the heart to see if this pregnancy could do something good to Jasmine or the child that would be born later.

She had seen how awful and disgusted Jasmine was with the twins.

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

"What are you doing here?" Colton asked Emily when he came to the room they held Eros in. She came with a bowl of porridge in her hands that was still piping hot. "Do you want to give that to him?"

"Yes," Emily said softly. Colton was talking to the other two warriors, who were guarding the door, when she came.

"You know that he is still not stable, right?" Colton asked Emily, he sighed when he saw how uncomfortable this girl was being looked at because of the scars on her face.

"I know… but, he has not yet eaten anything since this afternoon," she replied timidly.

"Let her go inside," Liam said, as he approached them. "Open the door and let her go inside."

"But," Colton wanted to argue that it was not safe for her, yet the alpha insisted and the two guards opened the door.

"Make sure he eats properly, okay?" Liam spoke softly to Emily, but it felt off to Colton.
