UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

Everything that happened in the last few hours was a blur of memories for Liam. He didn't know how he could calm Jasmine down and bring her to see Ariana, who was visibly shocked when she saw the state Jasmine was in.

The nursery room couldn't be used for the meantime, because of the glass shards and also because of the thick smell of blood that filled the room.

Therefore, while Jasmine was in the infirmary and the nursery room couldn't be used, Liam ordered his people to move the babies' cribs to his bedroom. They would be there until Jasmine was fit enough, while he prepared another room for the babies.

"How is she?" Liam asked, he looked at Jasmine's pale face and bandaged body. There were small cuts on her skin, but what bothered the alpha the most was the cut on her neck, it wouldn't stop bleeding.

Ariana said, deeper than that and they would have lost her already. Those words kept ringing in his mind along with the dreadful feeling that he felt if that really happened to her. He couldn't imagine that. He didn't want to imagine that.

"She is… fine." Ariana narrowed her eyes when she looked at Jasmine. She didn't know if it was fine to let the alpha know about this. She was not in a good position. "She will wake up in a few hours after the medicine wears off, but the cuts on her body will take longer to heal. Don't worry, they will not leave any scars."

Her medicine could heal scars, but it didn't work on Emily. She was still wondering how her scars could be full of dark magic when Eros was not a magic wielder. That was why her scars couldn't be healed.

"Tell me, what is it?" Liam could feel Ariana's reluctance to explain further about this situation. "What do you want to say?"

Ariana bit her lips, she didn't know whether it was right or not to let him know.

"I know you are hiding something, tell me what it is?" Ariana glanced at Colton, who was standing behind the Alpha. Her mate looked so calm that sometimes she wondered how a pacifist like Colton could serve two generations of mad alphas.

Liam was no different from his father, Alpha Xerxes, right now.

From the corner of her eyes, Ariana could see Colton nod subtly, encouraging her to let the alpha know about his mate's true condition.

"The Luna is fine," Ariana started, she was a little bit trembling under the sharp gaze of the alpha. "So is her child."

Ariana felt all the air being sucked out of her lungs when she said this. She didn't want to let him know without Jasmine's permission, but if she kept quiet and Jasmine decided to keep the baby, the alpha would know that she had known about this pregnancy beforehand and that she kept it secret.

Ariana didn't want to put Jasmine in a difficult position, since she had endured so much already, but she didn't want to put herself and her mate in danger either.

Call her selfish, but in this kind of place, you need to think of your own safety first.

Your empathy shouldn't make you lose your head, because in that case, that was not a wise decision at all.

"A… a child?" Liam turned his head to look at Jasmine's sleeping face, he gritted his teeth. "She is pregnant." That was not a question, but a statement.

However, the real question that he wanted to know the answer to most was; was it his child? Was she pregnant with his child? How should he ask about this without letting them know what his actual question was?

"For how long?" Liam could hear his voice shaking. He hoped he would hear an answer he wanted, even though he knew the possibility of it not being his child was high.

Ariana lowered her head when she replied to this. "Six weeks."

Six weeks and Liam had just returned for less than a month…

The Alpha closed his eyes. He balled his fists, as he breathed heavily. He tried to control himself, but the only thing that kept echoing in his head was what Darius said that night. He told everything, everything that he didn't want to hear.

He confessed everything about the affair that he had with Jasmine, how she said she loved him. Fuck that! Jasmine only said it because he didn't treat her well. She only did that to get back at him.

Liam was ready to forget about it, he had gotten rid of that man and he wouldn't bother his life and Jasmine's any longer.

Liam had thought about all the precautions that he needed to take, so this little bitch wouldn't have any affair behind his back again, but now what?! A child?! A child of that bastard!?

She was pregnant with another man's child.

His mate was carrying another man's child.

On the other hand, Colton pulled Ariana closer to him and made her stand behind him, just in case the alpha would go crazy and hurt her. No matter what, his priority was his mate. He knew how crazy Liam could be whenever something didn't go according to his plan and this news must be a huge blow to him.

"Six weeks…" Liam repeated the words over and over again, as if he wanted to remember those two words and when he opened his eyes, they fell on Jasmine's flat stomach, but inside, there was that bastard's seed.

Liam had this urge to rip Jasmine's stomach open and destroy it himself. His claws had emerged from the tips of his fingers, while Colton took two steps back with Ariana close to him.

"Can you get rid of the baby?" Liam asked. No one said this, but there was a tacit understanding between them that the baby in Jasmine's stomach was not the alpha's.
