UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

"Emily, you better not come to see me often." Eros couldn't shake this feeling off. He had harmed more people than he intended to because he couldn't control himself.

Hearing that, Emily frowned. She wrapped her arms around his waist, as she sat closer to him, this room was very cold while he was so warm.

"You know that I will not do that, right?" Emily said. "I will never leave you no matter what you say… I want to be with you."

That was a genuine feeling that she felt for Eros and she didn't understand why he kept pushing her away. If it was because he felt guilty about the scar on her face, she didn't mind it. She was the one who would live with that.

And the fact he killed Derek couldn't make Emily stay away from him either. After all, she knew that Eros did that because he was angry for her. If she had been stronger, she would have killed Derek and his friends herself for what they had done to her and for everything they had said about her.

She knew Eros' concern and why he asked her to stay away from him. But, how could she do that?

"I will never go anywhere else. I will go wherever you go and I will stay wherever you stay, unless you don't like me anymore," Emily said in a sad tone. She snuggled closer to Eros when cold wind blew in through the ventilation.

It seemed the rainy season would start soon. The air was too humid.

On the other hand, seeing how Emily reacted, Eros couldn't say anything. He reached out his hand and then caressed her face, but he didn't utter a single word again.

Silence ensued, as they listened to the sound of crickets chirping out there along with the rustling sound of the wind against the leaves. This sounded very calming and made Emily sleepy.

Therefore, before she dozed off, she scrambled to Eros' 'bed'. Actually, it was not a bed. Emily brought as many blankets as she could find and stacked them up into a makeshift bed for him. He had to sleep on the cold floor for a few nights prior to her meddling.

"What are you doing?" Eros watched as Emily got on to the bed and lay down there. "No, you can't sleep here." He only realized when she pulled the blanket to cover her body. "Go back to your room."

"Let's sleep together," Emily said, as she patted the spot beside her and moved a little bit further to make space for Eros. "Tonight is so cold, it will be warmer if we sleep close to each other."

Eros' eyes widened, he furrowed his brows and shook his head, but this only made Emily frown.

"Why not? It has been a long time since we slept together, right?" The only thing in Emily's mind right now was that she wanted to spend tonight with Eros, because she didn't want to go back to her bedroom and sleep alone, or be worried the entire time if Derek's friends would tear the door down.

It was not that they had done this before, but they would bother her by knocking on her door several times, depriving her from sleep. It terrorized her.

Therefore, by sleeping here with Eros, there was no way they would do the same thing like that when they knew Eros could kill them for that and moreover, there were a few guards out there.

"Come here," Emily said. "It has been a while since we talked while laying down like this."

Eros halted for a while, before he gave in and laid down next to Emily, as she pulled the blanket over his body as well.

"What do you want to talk about?" Eros asked, their faces so close, as they snuggled on this small bed of piled up blankets.

Eros looked at Emily closely and realized that she had the same eye color as her… it was the color of hazel.

"Hm…" Emily thought about it for a little while. She didn't know what she wanted to talk about when Eros asked her all of a sudden like this, but then she realized something. "Your voice changed," she stated.

"Changed?" Eros didn't even notice that.

"Yes, your voice became deeper and heavier." Emily had noticed this for a few weeks now, even before this incident. At first she thought it was because she forgot his voice as she didn't see Eros for a long time when he went away with the alpha.

But then, she realized it was not the case, his voice indeed had changed.

Eros gave some thought to it. "Yeah, I guess so…" Now that Emily had mentioned it, he realized that his voice was indeed slightly heavier.

Actually, it was not something uncommon, since he grew older and wouldn't be a boy forever.

In a few months, Emily would turn thirteen and Eros would be fifteen, though they didn't know their actual birthdays. But it was what it said in their birth certificates they found in that lousy apartment.

"In two years, you will meet your mate," Emily said in a dejected tone and Eros could see sadness in her eyes. "Would you still like me at that time?"

He had met his mate. That was the girl with white hair. The white wolf, with hazel eyes like Emily's.

"What are you talking about?" Eros said, as he closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her body, to keep both of them warm. The blanket was not thick enough to save them from the cold wind.

"I am just asking," Emily replied, as she snuggled closer to him and yawned. "I want to know if you will choose her over me."

Eros didn't say anything for a little while, until he mumbled something into her hair. "That's not going to happen. Now sleep."

Right. That was not going to happen.
