UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

The meeting that Chaos suggested went pretty quick, since he simply told them what they wanted and gave assignment for each of them that should be done within limited time after that, he took Zuri and went out of the room.

From Zuri closed the door, she could hear Gael shouted at them; don't burn my room again!

"When we will go to the East Draghar?" Zuri and Chaos walked in the empty corridor, there was no guess recently, after the attack that night, Gael had been turning down all the guess, especially human one. "What? You don't think I will not go, right?"

Zuri narrowed her eyes when she caught Chaos was staring at her without giving her a proper answer. He used to be like this, but some time it was so frustrating for him not to talk.

"I just want you to know that I know perfectly my way to East Draghar." Zuri lifted her chin arrogantly. When she traveled with him, they had crossed the border a few times and she knew her away around the country.

"I wish you don't come with me," Chaos finally replied after a few moment of silence.

Zuri knew what the reason. They didn't discuss this in the meeting earlier, but Knox mentioned it. Sol had taken his father's role, as the head of the organizations along with the other two men, while Nikolai was his right hand man, while his sister, Vanesha was their spy, since she had been working for Gael before.

Gael said nothing when they mentioned about Vanesha, but Zuri could sense his uneasiness, as he regarded the girl as his own. Vanesha had helped him to get River back, but she chose to join the organization instead.

Zuri didn't know her full story, but a lot of things happened and the girl was no longer that helpless little girl, so did Nikolai.

"I can handle my own feeling," Zuri said. She insisted that she would be fine. "You don't need to worry."

That was true, if she could control herself in front of her own mate, long lost childhood friend and his sister wouldn't affect her much.

The memory when the four of them, Zuri, Gael, Nikolai and Vanesha were having a dinner together and how Gael had bought them blanket, still fresh in her memory, as if it happened just yesterday, but in actuality, it was twenty one years ago.

They were only little children, who still figured out how this world worked and how to survive.

However, twenty one years later, they had walked down their own path, but once again, their path crossed.

There would be time, where Zuri would cross path again with Eros, and then what?

Zuri leaned her head against Chaos's arm, as they walked hand in hand in this corridor.

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

It had been two days, since they had returned to the pack and once again Eros asked Emily to help him to meet with former alpha Xerxes.

"Why do you always want to meet him? Is there something that you want to know?" Emily frowned when she watched Eros put on his jacket and helped with hers. "A specific thing?"

"There is nothing significant," Eros replied, it was the same answer that he gave her, whenever she asked the same question.

"Don't fool me, Eros, I know that you are up to something? Is it something dangerous that you don't want to let me know?"

Eros leaned over and kissed her forehead. "Don't read too far, I am just curios about what happened in the past of this pack."

Emily liked it when Eros took the initiative to kiss her, but she knew it was only a habit of him to cease her anxiety.

"Don't do something stupid," Emily mumbled, she felt uncomfortable with this secret meeting in the middle of the night.

"Such as?" Eros took her hand and then walked out of their bedroom, after Emily sprayed something on him and herself, so no one could smell their scent. This was the peak of being a healer and someone that Ariana trusted, because she had a free access to all the herbs and poison that she needed.

"I don't know, some time it is hard for me to know what is in your mind," Emily replied truthfully.

"There is nothing interesting in my mind," Eros said, as they slowed down their pace, because he heard the sound of footsteps from the opposite direction, this must be the guard, as they patrolled this area.

"Including me?" Emily whispered to his ear, as she tiptoed, because Eros put his finger in front of his lips to tell her not to make noise.

Actually, she didn't like it when Eros talked to former alpha Xerxes, but she liked their time together on their brief trip to that forgotten corner, where the former alpha had been staying.

Emily always thrilled whenever they were almost getting caught and how Eros kept her closer to him.

On the other hand, hearing the way she teased him, Eros just smiled at her.

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

Chaos and Zuri had arrived to East Draghar since yesterday and stayed in a hotel room, where they would move closer to the heart of the facility in this country, where they incarcerate the dragon beast.

Somehow, Killian couldn't go back to his human's side, because they put him into sleep in his dragon form.

This would be a great effort for them to come closer to that place, because Chaos couldn't penetrate the protection that was put around the area, which he knew who had done it.

Aaron. He was already here and prevented him from taking back the dragon shifter, since he chased after his shattered soul as well.

"What do you think Aaron will do to your shattered soul?" Zuri asked, they were in the restaurant, having their dinner, surrounded by the people from the organizations, as they chose to eat close to their headquarter.
