UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

"You know what the true power is?" Alpha Xerxes looked comfortable enough to give out his lectures on power and what one could do with it. "If you want something, you need to know the level of the power that you hold, otherwise, you will lose your battles. You need to be smart, little Zuri."

Alpha Xerxes loved to call her 'little Zuri', because he felt he had so much power over her, since she was only a little brat, his trophy little girl that he would flaunt whenever he had a chance, his little white wolf.

However, Blue didn't have the same thoughts as him about that name, she felt disgusted whenever she heard that and her blood boiled in her veins with anger.

Mateo had told her countless times that she needed to work on her emotions, to not follow what they wanted her to feel and express everything like an open book. That would be a lost battle…

Yet, it was hard to do it when all your mind was filled with the thoughts of how to skin the person before your eyes. Patience was what one needed when you have nothing to begin a fight. It was like the weather, when you don't like it, you have to wait for it to change, instead of rushing out in a storm.

And here was Blue, still working on it and it didn't seem she would be able to achieve it any soon.

"You can say 'no' when you  have power. You can change your circumstances when you have power." Alpha Xerxes leaned toward Blue and he happily said, "but, you have none now."

Blue gritted her teeth, her hazel eyes ablaze with anger when she spoke again. "How can you make me his mate when he already found his own true mate?"

"What?!" Alpha Xerxes was shocked. He blinked his eyes and then looked at Emmet, who was sitting next to him. "Is that true?!"

On the other hand, Emmet was utterly speechless, he didn't have a word to answer that simple question.

"Is that true that you have found your mate?!" Alpha Xerxes now was livid and Blue felt like she had said something wrong.

At this point, Blue was not sure what she had done wrong, because she only said that in a fleeting moment of anger when she saw a salacious smirk on Emmet's face and how degraded Alpha Xerxes' speech was.

However, she didn't think this to be Alpha Xerxes' reaction. He looked livid and even stood up from his seat.

"Get out now, I need to have a private conversation with my son," he said through his gritted teeth.

Blue and Liam were on their feet without a second command and left the room, but before that, she could see how Emmet glared at her with hostility in his eyes as he growled at her before he put his attention back on his furious father.

"What have you done?" Liam spoke to Blue once they were in the corridor, away from the room.

"What?" Blue felt defensive. She did nothing wrong.

"Why did you tell father about Emmet's mate?" Liam stopped walking and he stared at Blue in horror. "It will only make the situation worse."

Blue didn't know what worse situation that she could get herself into than the fact that she would have a mating ceremony in four days with an asshole like Emmet. She needed to sharpen her onlace that Chaos gave to her…

However, when that name crossed her mind, she shook her head inwardly. She didn't want to remember that name again. He left her…

The thought alone hurt her…

"You don't understand, do you?" Liam asked Blue with a troubled expression. "Father will get rid of everything that would pose a potential danger to his plan. Emmet's mate is not an exception."

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

Blue was sharpening her onlace in her bedroom like she had planned to do when she talked with Liam this afternoon, as he told her it was a bad idea to tell his father about Emmet's mate.

She didn't care about what Alpha Xerxes would do to his son, but the fact that he would do nothing to his golden child and instead would do horrible things to his mate was something that was unsettling for her.

It was the same feeling she had whenever she told Chaos about chancing upon a piece of his shattered soul. She didn't kill that person, but it was her call that made those people lose their lives.

She shook off that thought and focused on her onlace, but her finger slipped and it bled.

Blue didn't even flinch when she saw the red liquid dropped on her bed and left stains there, she had more blood than this and suffered severe injuries that almost took her life, thus this kind of wound was nothing.

And when the wound had healed, she resumed what she was doing until someone, literally, broke down her door.

"WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE THINKING!?"

It was Emmet and his voice echoed throughout the room, as he came to Blue, panting. He seemed like someone, who just ran a few miles without stopping only to lash out at her.

Probably true.

"YOU ARE SO DEAD!"

He marched toward Blue, but the girl simply stood up and pointed out her onlace at his face.

"Come near me and I will slash you from your stomach to your sorry face." Blue didn't even budge, she looked very calm when she threatened him.

Seeing that, Emmet stopped in his tracks and took a step back because the pointed end of the onlace was too close to his face.

The fact that he realized he couldn't beat her up in a one on one fight irked his ego and this had always been one of the reasons why he hated her so much, though aside from that, he had to admit that Blue was so attractive in his eyes.

"Don't you know that your words could put your friend in danger?! She would be killed!"
