UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

The alpha felt like he was left with no other choice. The protection from the McKeltars was the only thing that the remaining of his pack needed. There was no way they could survive out there by themselves.

Therefore, if they were meant to die, why didn't he do it by taking away someone important to Knox? After all, he had rejected them coldly.

And without a second thought, the alpha rushed toward July, who gave her attention to the overbearing man beside her, while Knox had his back facing him.

If this man wanted to leave his family and his remaining pack members to die, then he should feel the same agony like he would feel upon losing the people that he loved.

The alpha's hand raised, as his claws emerged from his fingers, aiming to kill July. He cared about nothing at this moment, as he saw red upon hearing the rejection, which had sealed his and his pack's fate to die anyway.

"YOU BETTER DIE!" The alpha roared in anger, his eyes turned a few shades darker than usual, as he tried to hurt July. No. He tried to kill her.

July snapped her head when she heard the alpha's roar, which was filled with so much hostility and when she turned around, it was too late for her to evade this sudden attack.

In her mind, the attack happened very slowly, but even so, July couldn't force herself to move faster or try to save herself from the incoming danger, instead her body froze in place as she couldn't move a single muscle.

Was this what happened to those people, who saw death before their eyes? July felt her heart stop beating when she noticed the texture of those sharp claws before her eyes and how those killing tools elongated from inside his fingers.

For some reason, this transformation always fascinated her, even though this was not the time for that. Those razor sharp claws would tear her apart and if she was lucky enough from this attack, she would suffer disfigurement.

However, the alpha must have lost his mind to think that Knox would let that happen…

The tip of his claws grazed July's cheek, which left her with a scratch before Knox stopped him by grabbing his wrist and then pulled July back before she would get hurt even further.

"What do you think you are doing?" Knox asked coldly, as he glared at the man. He was furious to see how daring this man was by trying to hurt his woman right before his eyes. What a moron to make such a move…

"You will feel my wrath!" The alpha let out a bellow of rage when Knox said that and tried to use his other hand to attack him.

However, without saying a single word, or even before the alpha could land a blow on him, Knox tightened his grip on his wrist, which resulted in him having his hand crushed, blood immediately splattered everywhere when his hand was destroyed by the pressure.

A bolt of angry and excruciating pain shot through his dismembered hand, as the alpha's eyes widened in shock, while the rest of his pack let out earth- shattering screamings upon seeing what had happened to their Alpha. They couldn't believe this.

Yet, Knox was not yet done with this. Since he dared to mess with his woman, it was better for him to know the consequences for this kind of atrocious action.

And in the next second, Knox grabbed his neck and did the same. He beheaded the man by crushing his neck. The same method that Chaos used when he attacked Aaron the last time they met.

There was a soft explosion sound when Knox crushed his neck, as his head got detached from his body, while more fresh blood oozed out and seeped into the soil when the alpha's body, along with his head, fell to the ground.

There was this strange feeling that Knox felt when he saw all of this happen, especially when he saw the dead body in front of him. There was something in him that was triggered, as if this feeling had been buried deep down in his heart and was being noticed just now.

This delightful feeling to watch as another creature suffered and died…

The smell of blood was very sweet. The fear and also the anguish in those eyes of the luna of the pack, his beta and also gamma, including the small number of his people was something that put him in so much joy. He craved to see them suffer more…

Knox wanted to make them suffer more than they already had. He wanted them to die.

It was the first time for Knox to feel this way, where he enjoyed killing the other creatures. He wasn't against murder, but he only did it when it was necessary, not out of pleasure, yet that was exactly what he felt right now.

Their fearful gazes pleased him…

Therefore, in his hazy mind, Knox went after the rest of the pack members. All the women there were terrified right now, while the last three men of the pack used themselves as shields to protect their pack members from Knox's wrath.

"We understood! We will leave! Stay away from us!" The beta tried to assuage Knox, even though he watched with his own eyes how Knox killed their alpha brutally. However, that was not completely his fault, since it was the alpha, who had tried to hurt his woman first.

For this reason, he just wanted to make sure the remaining members would be able to get out of here alive. They would think of what they must do later, as long as they were alive, they could come up with something.

However, Knox didn't hear that. He strode forward without hesitation. His dark blue eyes flickered to black right now, as his desire to see more blood became more and more uncontrollable.

At this point, July finally managed to sense that there was something wrong with Knox. This was not his usual behavior.

He had killed countless creatures and people alike, but he had never taken pleasure in doing so, not like now.

July managed to take a glimpse of his facial expression when he killed the alpha and she saw him smiling in delight. She thought she was seeing things, but now, she was sure there was indeed something wrong with Knox.

"Knox, back off…" July said carefully when Knox prowled toward the pack members, as if they were his targets. She didn't know what to make of this sudden change of his behavior, but this was concerning.

July raised her hand to stop the five shifters that came with them before to follow her, because she didn't think they would make any difference if Knox was not in his right mind. He would kill them anyway if it pleased him.

Fortunately, hearing July's voice seemed to bring back a little bit of sense that was still left in Knox. He stopped walking and then turned around to look at July, who was approaching him.

Only then could July see how dark Knox's eyes were. She had never seen this before, except when something similar happened to Chaos years ago and surely this was not a good sign.

"Knox, stop it. Okay?" July tried to conceal her fear at the sight of Knox right now. It was a big thing for her, since she had never felt the need to be on her guard around Knox, no matter what brutal thing that he had done.

Yet, this time it was different. It almost felt like there was some part of him that was awakened and this side was not nice at all. July didn't think she ever saw this or even knew that he was capable of doing something like this.

"KNOX!" July took his arm and waved her hand at the pack members, indicating them to leave, while she tried to get his attention. "Let's go back, okay?" she said in the most comforting tone that she could muster.

However, Knox seemed to not listen to her. He tilted his head and looked at her intently.

"Let's go back to the manor, okay?" July was confused when Knox extended his hand and caressed her cheek gently with his thumb, smearing her cheek with the alpha's blood.

"You look beautiful with blood on you," he said solemnly, as if he was fascinated by what he was seeing right now, but this short sentence only made July shiver. What did he mean by that? What was wrong with him?

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

"Where is this?" Zuri asked Chaos when he took her to a different place all of a sudden. "We left White inside the car on the highway," she reminded him when she couldn't find the white wolf.

They were seemingly inside a house, Zuri guessed, because it was so dark here and there were no lights at all on all these walls that caged them.

This place was a huge hall without anything inside but a strange red door at one side of the walls. And, they were walking toward it now.

"Where are we going?" Zuri grabbed Chaos' shirt, so she wouldn't be left behind in this strange place.

Torches that lined up on the wall, lit up one by one as they walked further inside the room and once they reached the door, the room was so bright.

"What is inside?" Zuri asked out of curiosity, as she hid behind Chaos' body.
