UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

"Poor her, she must feel the bond severance." The young woman, who was sitting next to Emily, commented. Her face contorted in pain at the sight of her fellow shifter writhing in agony.

"What does that mean?" Emilly tilted her head slightly to look at the young woman. If she was not mistaken, her name was Rose, she was one of the omegas. Emily remembered seeing her in the kitchen.

Rose shifted her attention toward Emily and then explained briefly to her. "She is in agony because she could feel her mate dying."

Emily heard about the mate bond between the shifters and was fascinated to know how it worked and also how they found their other halves. It was destiny, fate, that a shifter would recognize their other half when they were so close and the moment they found each other, they were almost inseparable.

It sounded romantic and Emily used to adore such stories.

However, the severance of the mate bond could cause unbearable pain and this was the first time for Emily to witness that. The young woman, who was crying her eyes out, let out heart- wrenching screams.

And a moment later, another shrill- scream could be heard. It was devastating to the ears and Emily had to close her own because she was not able to bear it any longer. She was afraid about Eros. She didn't have such a bond with him, thus she didn't know whether he was alive or not.

She envied those shifters, who had such a bond with the people they loved.

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

The world spun around him and Eros saw nothing but blood and dead bodies that littered the ground. Either it was the humans' side or the shifters', at this point, there was no big difference.

Eros, in his black beast, looked so feral. His roars were enough to make those men shiver, but it was not enough to stop them or make them back away. The fight still continued.

The black lycan looked almost unstoppable. He penetrated the defense and dodged every bullet that aimed at him swiftly, but even so, the pain from his previous fight took a toll on him, making his movements slow down eventually.

Especially when a silver bullet pierced his front leg. He jumped over the fence and entered one of the houses there. He needed some time to recuperate before he went out there to fight again, or else, there would be nothing good coming out of his situation. He could be dead.

However, his plan didn't go smoothly, one of the members of the Delta saw which direction he took and also the house that he entered, thus without any hesitation, he followed the black lycan.

It was known widely that this pack sheltered a lycan, not only any other lycan, but the lycan that was once an experimental object of the Hound, but was lost years ago.

The information regarding that had been validated. Therefore, if he could get his hands on the beast right now, he knew his promotion would be served on a silver platter to him. This object was too valuable to be missed.

Not to mention, the lycan was wounded now.

The gun in his hand was at the ready, as he entered the house and heard a soft whimper from inside. He couldn't be mistaken. It was the lycan.

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

It was hard to get to her, but there was nothing that could stop Liam from moving forward.

This woman was his mate, but the severed bond between them from five years ago was still affecting their feelings and in their current situation, where they had to kill each other, it was something ridiculous to deal with.

Liam couldn't think straight, neither had he decided about what he would do once he got his hands on Jasmine.

Would he kill her? Or perhaps, it would be her, who killed him first?

The distance between them got smaller by each meter he crossed.

Jasmine had her weapon with her and she looked fascinating in her gear, the thought of her alone made his beast restless and excited at the same time.

It had been five years and the time they parted was still fresh in their memories.

The beast roared ferociously, as he pounced onto the last man, who was standing between him and his mate, the beast pressed one of his front legs on his chest, once he was pinned to the ground, he had his other leg on his throat with its claws emerging threateningly.

"Let go of him, Liam," Jasmine said firmly. She had her gun aimed at the huge beast in front of her. "Let go of him or I will shoot you."

However, instead of succumbing to the threat, the beast clawed the poor man's face harshly and tore his head off his shoulders in a clean cut movement, goading the woman to shoot him.

The alpha was within the shooting range of Jasmine and she could save her man if she shot the beast, but for some unknown reason, she didn't do that and watched him die a miserable death.

She couldn't bring herself to do it. Her finger was right on the trigger, her aim was clear and all she needed to do was to shoot him. It was easy, even an amateur from the Delta, who held the gun for the first time, would be able to do it at such a close range.

Yet, her heart turned heavy and she simply couldn't bring herself to kill him.

Jasmine gritted her teeth. She had this unwavering belief that Liam wouldn't attack her, but she could be wrong. She could be completely wrong. After all, five years had gone without a single word between them and what an irony to meet in such a situation.

Wasn't this a little bit nostalgic? They parted when the war happened between humans and non human beings and their situation right now was nothing different.

The beast roared ferociously and rushed toward her, anger and hatred filled his eyes for what Jasmine and her people had done to this pack. To all the members of his pack.

Liam was the alpha, he could feel every bond between the pack members that shattered when they died.

It was unforgivable, Jasmine couldn't be forgiven for what she had done.

On the other hand, seeing how the beast didn't stop or even slowed down under the threatening gun, Jasmine didn't have any other choice, but to shoot him.

Everything went so fast, but so slow at the same time when all the sounds and the fight around them faded into nothing…

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

Mohan entered one of the houses that he believed to be the house where he saw the black lycan had disappeared into.

And as soon as he stepped in, he could hear a soft whimper from inside of this two floor house. The sound came from upstairs, but then, he heard a low threatening growl.

This nasty beast must have known that he was here, inside the house. After all, this creature could smell their scents. It would be a great opportunity for Mohan to finish off this beast and get a promotion. This beast was injured and he needed to move fast.

Thus, despite the threatening growl that he heard, he climbed the stairs and found a young boy, huddled in front of a door, glaring at him, while cradling his bleeding hand. His eyes were so dark and sharp. He was glaring at him.

The color of Eros' eyes were no longer dark blue, but it was almost pitch black.

"There you go…" Mohan mumbled to himself, as he aimed his gun at the young boy. He took his tranquilizer instead of the gun with silver bullets. He thought it would be best to catch him alive.

However, Mohan thought so lowly of this young creature, because once he fired the tranquilizer at him, he dodged it easily. He looked at the small syringe and growled even louder.

He looked more like a beast, rather than human, even though he was in his human form. His eyes were murderous, as if saying that he would rip Mohan apart, if he dared enough to make any move on him.

Yet, Mohan could care less about that as he reloaded his tranquilizer and aimed it at the young boy again.

"Be a good boy, okay," he said with so much hatred. "Creatures like you shouldn't exist in this world. So disgusting."

He remembered how his family members had died during the chaotic situation in the old capital city and how he became an orphan, left all alone, because of these creatures.

"You should be grateful that I only want to subdue you, instead of directly killing you. Death is too easy and merciful for a nasty creature like you," Mohan rambled, as he moved closer to the boy carefully. He shot him once again, but Eros dodged it.

Mohan cursed under his breath and drew his other gun instead. The speed of a tranquilizer was not as fast as a bullet, thus it was possible for Eros to dodge it, but with the silver bullet aimed at his head, the chance for him to evade it was almost impossible.

Knowing that, Eros ran past Mohan and threw himself at the glass window on the opposite side of this corridor.

Eros' body fell from the second floor after he managed to break the window, but right at the same time, Mohan pulled the trigger.

"Damn it!" Mohan cursed aloud.
