UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

July was still trying to discern the information that she heard earlier from Ciara, she blinked her eyes, as she stared at her flat stomach.

Was this even possible? Aaron said it could happen, it would happen and now Ciara also hinted the same thing.

July was afraid, she was not afraid that she was having Knox's child, but she was afraid that she didn't. Hope was a cruel thing. It was irony, how a small hope could make you survived, but at the same time it could destroy you.

"No way…" July wanted to keep her sanity, but her imagination had run so wild. She needed to put reign on her own mind. "Is it possible?" July caressed her flat stomach, trying to find any indication that it was not only her wishful thinking.

She was ready to sacrifice everything if that really happened. She was ready for anything that was thrown at her…

Whatever it was needed to keep her baby.

"Are you sure?" July stumbled with her own words because she didn't think this was even possible. "Are you sure this is… that I am pregnant? How can you be so sure?" If she was really pregnant, someone like Knox and Chaos must have known, there was no way they didn't know with how sensitive their senses were.

Moreover, it was just two days, there was no way you could be sure about that.

Ciara looked at July closely and then sighed. "I don't ask you to believe that, but I have to say that there was never a time what Aaron said didn't come true or went wrong, especially when he had made a deal with someone."

Ciara knew that this woman had fallen into the devil's hand, she didn't know how Aaron would use her, but she knew the devil would make what she wanted come true, that was how Aaron kept his people around him, to make their wish came true.

"I can't believe this…" July muttered to herself.

Right. Ciara was not able to read what kind of plan that was in the devil's mind, but whatever it was, it would end the way he wanted.

"So… I can be pregnant now…" her brows knitted together when she said that. This was not even a diagnosis, this was a prediction, they knew even before the baby was really here…

"But, in that case, you have another problem." Ciara directed her eyes at Chaos, who was still fast asleep. Her eyes were so sharp, she looked like she was about to do something to him, but July was too busy with her own feeling to realize that.

"What do you mean?" July lifted her head to look at Ciara, she was not fast enough to understand what she hinted right now, since her mind worked so fast in another matter.

"He will kill the baby," Ciara said without any scrupulous, because there was no nice way to put it. "One of the reasons why he has not yet gathered all of his shattered soul is because those shattered soul kept procreate, bring a tiny piece from the first one." She then tilted her head and then looked at July. "You must know why Knox can't give you child and he is so against it."

July bit her lips, now her body was trembling because of that. She felt so exhausted all of sudden because of this too many revelations and realization from the information that Ciara gave to her.

"What will you do?" Ciara asked July again. "Aaron promised to make you carry his child, but I am sure he didn't promise to protect it." Ciara directed her eyes at her flat stomach.

The witch was right. Aaron had never promised the safety of her baby.

And then… what should she do if she was indeed pregnant? What options that she had? Only a few second ago she promised, she swore that she would do anything for her baby and now she was faced with that reality.

"How long?" July asked, her voice was trembling, her eyes stared at Chaos, as she felt hatred crept in her heart for this creature. "How long until they realized that I am pregnant?"

Ciara didn't answer her question immediately, it took her a few minute to give July the estimation. "Two to three weeks, after that, they will know that you are pregnant and the next thing that they will do…"

They would kill the baby…

July didn't need Ciara to let her know about that. She had seen how Chaos took back his shattered soul. How that person would die and later it would happen to her baby?

No… there was no way in hell she would let that to happen.

"Why don't we kill him now?" July said that coldly and emotionlessly, as if it was not her, who had suggested this.

"Do you think it is easy to kill a creature like him?" Ciara scoffed when she heard how easy July gave that idea.

July had never thought about that before, but now when she mentioned it. "Why? We just need to rip his heart apart."

Ciara chuckled, not because of how easy it sounded, but how clueless this human could be. "He is immortal. There is a special way to kill him. If you can't find it within two weeks before they know about your pregnancy, then you should hide from them, or you can let go of your children."

Ciara then stood up and then walked across the room to pour a glass of water for herself, as she glanced at Norbeat briefly.

"Apparently, you don't only have one options," the witch commented.

But for July, those options didn't sound like an option at all…

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

"I am going to kill them all," Zuri grumbled through her gritted teeth, she was annoyed after a bullet grazed her shoulder and stained her clothes with her own blood. She looked at the man sharply.

"You get my blessing," Knox said, as if he let Zuri did whatever she wanted with these people, while he would relax and watched.

Knowing what was in Knox's mind didn't make Zuri happy at all, she didn't want to fight, right? So why she should do this?

"No." Zuri stepped back and then stood next to Knox, but a little bit behind him, as if she used him as her shield. "I am still recuperating, after all, it is not polite to ask a young girl to fight for you, right Mr. McKeltar?" Zuri glanced at Knox, while speaking in mocking tone.

"I don't mind you fight for me." Knox shrugged his shoulder.

Yet, their conversation about who would get rid of these people, sounded like the two of them didn't want to deal with them because they were outnumbered and wouldn't be able to fight back, at least that was how it sounded for those men.

"They are not as strong as we think if they are trying to back away from us," one of the men said confidently, as he raised his gun, followed by the rest of the men around him. "Catch them now and we can go to the capital city and get our reward."

Zuri frowned. How they could get the idea that they were bickering about, who would fight them, as them being afraid?

"You make them misunderstood us," Zuri muttered, she didn't like to be pointed by the gun like this. She lifted her head and saw there was no indication for Knox to fight them. "Tsk. I can't get it how you can be Chaos's shattered soul, he is not even a fifth as annoying as you."

From the tip of her fingers, her sharp claws emerged and when she leapt ahead, she landed on all four, in her white wolf form. There were still wounds on her body, but this white wolf looked graceful and alarming at the same time.

In the end, Zuri didn't want to waste her time because they needed to find Chaos's shattered soul now and Knox didn't look like he was going to help.

He was here because he wanted to keep his eyes on Zuri. Deep down, he was worried that something could happen to her, since the outside world out of the McKeltar fortress was a little bit unpredictable recently.

But of course, Zuri didn't need to know about that detail.

The white wolf rushed toward the nearest man and attacked him ruthlessly before she changed her direction and attacked the second man, while the first man fell to the solid ground, died.

All of that happened in the span of three seconds, seeing from this, the white wolf was trained to kill in one attack, gave them a clean dead.

As if it was a cue for them to attack, they immediately fired their guns toward the white wolf, but all of the bullets were missed and hurt their friend.

However, before this chaotic situation attracted more attention and turned uglier, Knox waved his hand and all of them dropped dead to the ground, leaving the white wolf growled dangerously at him, as if saying; if you can do that, you should have done that earlier.

"You are the one, who charged ahead, don't blame me. Shit!" Knox said lightly, but he cursed under his breath when Zuri shifted back into her human skin, all naked, standing right in front of him with fierce Hazel eyes. "Damn it, Blue!"
