UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

"Seb, I want to tell you something." July knew that she needed to make it clear for Sebastian, because they were in this together now and it was not fair for him if she hid this.

No, even in the very beginning this was not fair for Sebastian. She owed him so much, therefore, she needed to come clean with him right now.

At this point, July didn't know that Sebastian listened to her cry for Knox when Zuri hugged her so tight last night.

"What is it?" Sebastian glanced at her briefly before he focused on the road ahead of them.

There was a long silence before she admitted this. "I am pregnant." July still had her eyes closed because she didn't want to face Sebastian's reaction.

She almost could feel her senses became too sensitive, as she heard him took a sharp breath and the car was stopped all of sudden.

July opened her eyes and there they were, in the street of the abandoned city, while Sebastian stopped the car at the side and stared at her.

She couldn't tell what was in his mind right now because he looked mortified to say the least and she didn't know what he would say to her.

"Say something," July finally spoke, after a long silence that felt like eternity. If Sebastian wanted to get angry or he wanted to scream, please, do it… she better faced him like that, instead of his silence, because she didn't know what she should do at this point.

Sebastian opened his mouth and was about to say something, yet there was no word that came out of his lips. His mind was thinking so hard, to find the right words in this situation, but there was nothing right in this situation.

Everything was doom since the very beginning.

"Is it Knox?" Sebastian finally spoke, he looked at her flat stomach. "Did he know?" that was the most important question that he needed to hear the answer of it.

July shook her head.

"How long you are?" Sebastian felt like he was in a middle of interview and became uncomfortable with this situation, but he needed to know every detail of it. "How could he not know about this?" for as far as he knew, the shifters had exceptional senses, there was no way Knox didn't realize this.

"The witch told me that I am pregnant." July couldn't tell him about everything, especially her deal with the devil, because it had nothing to do with him, that was unnecessary information, so she chose to lie by omission.

"How…" Sebastian lost for words. He wanted to ask about how the witch knew, but then it was a witch that they were talking about, everything was possible for that kind of creature.

Sebastian then rubbed his face roughly and then looked at July right in her eyes. He only stared at her like that for a few minutes, in silence, until she lowered her head because she couldn't take that.

"Why do you want to hide it from Knox?" Sebastian's voice was a little bit calm, but there was a raw emotion in the edge of his words.

July stumbled to her words in order to explain this to him and when she finished, there was another silence again.

"So, you want to keep the baby and not to let Knox knows about it?" Sebastian wanted to make sure of this part.

"Yes." July nodded. Her voice was so small. She thought Sebastian would say something again, but apparently, he started the engine and drove the car away, they were a little bit behind the schedule, because they needed to reach Lucinda city before midnight, since the spell from Ciara that protected them would be nulled at that time.

"Are you fine with this?" July asked him after two hours of silence.

"Yes." With the baby, July wouldn't want to see Knox even if she wanted to, he knew how much she wanted this. Therefore, he would see this as a compromise. "I can be the father of the baby."

And they would settle for that. Sebastian would take the role of father for the baby that July carried, because he believed Knox wouldn't be part of their life anymore.

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

"Long time no see, Morana…" Aaron's golden eyes gleamed with joy to see the seven years old little girl, who was rubbing her sleepy face.

This little girl had the same golden eyes like this devil, though her twin brother and both of her parents didn't have this rare color of eyes.

People in this pack would say that it was her miracle, because she was died when she was born, but then she come back to live with these golden eyes. They said it as a miracle, though Liam knew for sure that was not the case.

The little girl smiled brightly when she saw the man and then immediately jumped out of the bed with her arms opened wide.

This man was her secret friend. She was not allowed to tell anyone about their secret meeting every night or else, he wouldn't come to visit her again.

Of course, she would agree, because meeting him was something that she looked forward to.

Oh, and then Flo. "Flo!" Her golden eyes brightened up when she saw Flo came with Aaron tonight. She looked beautiful in her pink hair, this young eleven girl loved to dye her hair and she would have different look every time the two of them came to visit her. "Your hair is amazing!"

Flo waved her hand to her and smiled smugly, as she twirled her hair between her fingers, to show it off.

"Sst." Aaron put his finger in front of his lips, to make her quieted down. "You will wake your twin brother and we will have to take him with us."

Emma frowned and then glanced at Aiden, who was still fast asleep, she didn't like her twin brother had the same secret like her did. Therefore, she obediently walked carefully.

Aaron smiled when he picked her up to carry her out of this bedroom. "Morana…" he said her name, he was beaming to have her in his arms right now. It was only him, who called her Morana, since he thought the name 'Emma' was too sweet for her. He didn't want to make her a sweet little girl. He wanted her to be the little cheeky devil. "Are you ready to go?"

Emma nodded, she hugged Aaron's neck tightly with her eyes locked on Flo's pink hair she was mesmerized by it and then they disappeared from inside that bedroom, vanished into thin air, leaving only Aiden alone in his bed.

But the next thing that happened was; Aiden opened his eyes and stared at his twin sister's bed, it was empty, yet he didn't look surprised, as if this was not something that he just knew.

Aiden put the blanket over his head, he was afraid of whoever the man, who would come to visit them every night and took Emma away.

Therefore, he didn't say anything, especially when Emma was always meant to him. He couldn't ask about that guy to her, but his voice made him shuddered.

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

"Eros…" Emily looked at Eros, as they walked in this dark corridor toward the secret area, where they kept the previous alpha.

Eros had been trying to convince Emily to make the previous alpha sober enough to answer his question, ever since Ariana gave this task to her fully a year ago, because she thought she was already competent enough to take care of this.

Of course, this was with Alpha Liam's permission. Actually, the alpha didn't really care about who was taking care of his father, because as long as he lived a shitty life, he would be content with that.

Meanwhile, Eros had been waiting for this moment for years now. There were a few questions that he needed to ask, which he couldn't find the answer with anyone except him.

"It will be fine, Emily," Eros reassured her again. He knew this was too much to ask her, but he needed this. "I will just need an hour, after that I will be done with him."

Because Ariana was no longer supervised whatever Emily was doing with the previous alpha, she could change the prescription and made him sober enough to answer a few question from Eros.

Fortunately, Emily had knack with medicine and poison alike, so it was not hard for her to do so.

"But, if you really don't want this, I will not force you." Eros stopped walking and then turned around to face Emily.

They were only ten steps away from the door, they had come so far and the look on Eros's eyes made it hard for Emily to reject it. They were already here…

"Okay," Emily said in small voice.

"Are you sure? I don't want to make you feel bad." Eros knew what he was doing. He knew that Emily would agree with him and stopped whining about it if he did this.

"Yes, I think it will be fine…" Emily said hesitantly and then walked ahead to hide the concern on her face, as she opened the lock of the room and let Eros to enter. "I will stay out here."

Eros smiled at her and then kissed her forehead ever so gently. "Thank you for your understanding, Emily. I love you."
