UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

The stupid pain of losing her mate alone was already so ridiculous for her, but the fact that she was forced to be marked, was helping her a little bit to deal with it.

Zuri glanced at her reflection in the mirror. The few bite marks on her body started to disappear, in a few hours, her skin would be smooth again, but it wouldn't help her to forget about what had happened, she would forever see those bite marks whenever she saw her own reflection.

Therefore, even before her mind could think about it, she had grabbed something near her that she could reach and throw it so hard at the mirror in front of her.

The mirror shattered into a million pieces and the sharp glasses scattered all over the bathroom floor. Zuri didn't like the girl in the mirror. She wouldn't want to see that white haired girl again.

Disregarding the broken glasses on the floor, Zuri stepped across it as if it was nothing, leaving a trail of blood from her wounded fest when she entered the room and looked for her clothes and pants.

However, the wounds were healed by the moment she was fully dressed and walked out of the room.

She was wearing a black shirt and a pair of blue pants, because they were the first thing that she could find. She didn't have time to dress well, or rather she didn't have spare energy to do that.

"Where is Xerxes?" Zuri asked, those were the first words that came out of her lips, aside from her hysterical laughter.

"Alpha Xerxes is in his bedroom," Aldaire, an omega from her uncle's former pack, answered her question with a furrow between her brows. She looked a little bit taken aback with how cold and distant Zuri seemed.

Indeed, Zuri was not a girl, who would befriend you, but she was not usually like this and also, Aldaire didn't miss the fact that Zuri didn't address Alpha Xerxes with his Alpha title. She addressed him by his name.

"Zuri, where are you going?" Aldaire followed behind Zuri when she walked away without so much explanation. She could feel that this girl was about to do something dangerous. "Zuri, stop!"

Aldaire was around ten years older than Zuri and her life was slightly better than the rest of the omegas because she found her mate in this pack and it was needless to say that her mate was displeased with the fact that she was an omega, thus that ungrateful shifter rarely acknowledge her.

However, aside from that, she got her own house in this pack, she had a place for her to return at the end of the day and a daughter to console her sadness.

"Zuri!" Aldaire yanked her hand and roughly turned her around, but Zuri was trained as a soldier and the thought of being touched repulsed her.

The feeling of Aldaire's fingers that wrapped around her arm made Zuri push her so hard until she flew across the room and hit the wall behind her.

Aldaire grunted in pain, she gritted her teeth when she tried to stand up, but the world was spinning, as blood trickled down from her head.

"Take your daughter and get away from here," Zuri said in a low voice before she walked away again to find Xerxes.

He would pay for everything that he had done to her, to Mateo, to her uncle…

Or maybe this was not for anyone, Zuri just wanted to kill him. That's it.

Zuri wanted to watch as life left his eyes the same way she watched Emmet die in a slow and painful death. She wanted to know what kind of expression that Xerxes would make.

Would he be angry at her? Contempt her? Throw curses at her? Zuri really wanted to know…

But before she made her way to the Alpha's bedroom, she went to the kitchen and took something from there and now, Aldaire should listen to what she said earlier…

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

Xerxes woke up with a start when he felt something being poured down right on his face and the strong scent of gasoline entered his senses.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!" he roared in anger as he jumped out of his bed, waking up Adel, who was sleeping next to him.

Adel shrieked when she saw Zuri, throwing away a jerry can in her hand and the moment she caught her eyes, she knew that karma was real and it came with full force of hatred and bloodlust. Adel could see it in Zuri's hazel eyes, which now had turned so dark.

"Zuri?" Xerxes frowned, he still looked so dizzy from being woken up harshly like this, but his steps came to halt when he saw the lighter in her hand. "What are you doing here, child?" he asked in a soft voice, but the way he glared at the young girl betrayed his efforts to look calm.

"Stay where you are." Zuri disregarded Xerxes' question and talked to Adel directly, but the woman seemed to not understand her language, because she kept running toward the door, trying to save herself from Zuri's wrath.

Yet, before she could reach the door, Adel shrieked in horror when something grazed her cheeks and stuck the wall behind her. It missed her throat by only a few inches.

"Stay," Zuri ordered coldly. She needed to pay her attention to this old Alpha before she dealt with her.

This time, Adel had a better understanding and stayed at the same place, she didn't even dare to raise her hand to wipe away the blood from her cheek, her body was trembling in fear to see what would Zuri do to Alpha Xerxes.

"Zuri…" Alpha Xerxes spoke indulgently. "I know you are not happy with what happened last night, but I helped you during your heat, didn't I?"

Zuri shifted her attention from Adel to the shameless Alpha in front of her. "And this is my gratitude."
