UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

After July and Sebastian left the room, Zuri looked at Darius, who was still in dismay because his request to save Jasmine was denied, July turned down his request almost immediately with the reason that he didn't expect at all.

Darius thought the relationship between July and Jasmine was not this bad and hearing her twin sister was in such difficult situation, she would help her, no matter what happened in the past.

But, July didn't even reconsider her decision at all, after his plea, there was no room for negotiation right now and all he could do was to swallow back his desire to save Jasmine, to get her out of there before their child was born.

No, Darius was afraid that Liam would do something to Jasmine's pregnancy, knowing it was not his child. He could kill the baby without any scrupulous.

After all, there was no reason for Liam to keep the baby that was not his and what Jasmine could do if that alpha decided to do such thing?

"You are Zuri, right?" Darius raised his head and then looked at Zuri, his mind was elsewhere. He wanted nothing, but to find a way to save his child before it was too late. He had nothing now…

"I am," Zuri replied, as she walked toward Darius and sat down at the same chair, where Sebastian was sitting a few moment ago. "Sit down, there is a few things I want to ask you."

Darius knew Zuri, though they were not in the same mission, but it was hard to not pay attention to this girl, especially when the previous alpha, alpha Xerxes, proudly said that he got a white wolf. The legendary white wolf and how his first son, would have her.

Well, both of them died now.

"What do you want to know?" Darius became defensive. There was not many information that he knew about Zuri, because he didn't pay attention to her, but from what he learned, this girl was the creature named Chaos's important person.

"Tell me everything that you know about the shadow moon pack," Zuri said lightly, she didn't think she would be able to meet July soon, once this conversation started and he cooperated well with her, but at the very least, that was a very cheap price for what she had done before.

"What I will get if I tell you everything that I know?" he asked her with desperation lingered in his voice, as if this was the bargain that he really wanted.

Unfortunately, Zuri had nothing to lose when she asked this question, Darius could answer her, or he chose to keep silence, but she didn't mind to kick him out of the McKeltar property and she had the power to do so.

"You are not in the position to bargain this with me, I know what you want and I agree with July. I will not risk McKeltar people for you." Zuri would have her own revenge on Liam, but the rest of the pack had nothing to do with this. "If July didn't even want to help her own twin sister, what makes you think I will?"

That was a logical thing. Zuri had nothing to do with Jasmine, she didn't even know her and Darius realized that.

"But, just like July, I can kick you out of this place if I want," Zuri added that fact. They didn't need more people to protect this place and having Darius here, didn't make any significant different for them.

Darius could only sigh deeply, defeated. It seemed, he needed to find another way to get Jasmine out of that place, but to do so, he needed to have a plan.

"What do you want to know? What the specific thing that you want to know?" He, finally, relented, he didn't want to aggravate this woman like he did to July.

Zuri thought about this for a moment, before she finally decided there was no better way to bring this matter up, thus she just needed to go with it.

"Is there a lycan in your pack?" Zuri asked him straight to the point, because she didn't want to waste any more time on this.

But, from the look on Darius's face, she knew immediately what the answer would be. "Why do you ask about him? Do you know Eros?"

Eros…

That was his name…

"I met him once in Kalee," Zuri replied.

Of course, Darius knew when that happened, Eros went to Kalee with the alpha and that was when his affair with Jasmine began.

"When he joined the pack?" Zuri didn't remember to meet him there when she left that pack, but then it was years ago when she did that.

"Around two years ago, when Chaos lost control and there was a civil war between human and the supernatural creature." Darius remembered that was a complete chaos at that time and he still couldn't imagine the power that the creature like Chaos held to be able to do so. "The alpha brought him to the pack along with a human girl."

"A human girl?" this information piqued Zuri interest. There was no way that human girl was his siblings.

Darius gritted his teeth when he had to explain about Eros to Zuri, because his hatred toward that young lycan was so real, with the mention of his name alone already made him seething with anger.

However, he kept telling Zuri about all the information that he knew about that damned lycan, while trying to gauge her reaction, did she ask because she was curious? Or they had a dispute when they met for the first time and she wanted to get back at him.

It would be nice if it was the latter.

"Emily…" Zuri said the little girl's name. From the way Darius said it, it almost felt like this girl was so important for Eros.

"I think when they come to age, I will not be surprised if both of them are actually mate," Darius said, he looked so grim when he said that, because he imagined to kill Emily right in front of Eros, to let him knew the pain of losing someone that they loved. It would be great if they were a mate.

However, Zuri knew better. Eros and Emily couldn't be a mate. It was common to have mate from different kind, but… no. It was not Emily… the feeling between them when they met for the first time was so disturbing for her to forget.

"Why are you so angry every time you mentioned his name?" Zuri picked his anger. It was as clear as day. She would be deaf if she couldn't hear it.

Hearing that question, Darius looked at Zuri sharply, he looked like he was going to kill her, but the girl in front of him didn't look affected by it.

But still, the anger in his eyes were so clear.

"Because he killed my brother. He killed my younger brother," he said grimly and this surprised Zuri. She frowned when she heard that.

"Why?" She didn't believe that the young lycan would kill anyone out of spite, there must be story behind it and moreover, she didn't think Eros was someone so impulsive to kill someone else without any strong reason.

However, Darius didn't answer her question immediately when he was asked about the reason.

"Why?" Zuri asked again because Darius kept silence, she looked at him intensely and could see trouble in his eyes. "Because your younger brother did something unforgivable?"

The question set off Darius, as he immediately stood up. He knew what his younger brother did was messed up, but it didn't justify what Eros had done to him.

"He didn't deserve to die!" Darius roared, as his claws emerged from the tip of his fingers. He was ready to attack Zuri if she provoked him further.

Both of them were warriors from the shadow moon pack, who had done various dangerous mission and it was hard to say who would be able to take down the other first at this point.

"So, it's true that he did unforgivable thing?" Zuri didn't know what Darius's younger brother had done to cause his demise, but that was not her concern at all.

However, Zuri stood up from her chair when she saw how angry Darius was because of what she said, she needed to be ready if this man decided to attack her.

"So, why you are the one, who was being chased out instead of him?" Zuri asked out of her curiosity, she should stop by now and left him alone, but she had started this and she just wanted to get done with it.

"Because he is the beta of the pack!" Darius snapped. "That bastard alpha chose to protect the murderer of my brother!"

He is the beta? What about Damon?

Zuri wanted to ask more about it, but Darius seemed to have lost his patience. Apparently, the topic of his brother was a sensitive topic for him.

Therefore, he didn't even realize when he shifted into his beast and roared at Zur before he charged toward her in full speed.

Seeing that, Zuri immediately shifted into her white wolf, this conversation wouldn't end up well, but the two of them were very familiar with battle like this.

At this point, seeing this situation, it seemed July needed to wait a little bit more longer right now.
