UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

"I love you, Eros." Emily had said this word countless time in the past, when the meaning of love was pure between them, just like any other siblings and then shifted when the meaning became even more deeper than that.

"I love you too." Eros smiled and ruffled her hair.

Yet, the meaning of it became hollow. It lost its meaning.

Usually, Emily would love to hear that and the way he ruffled her hair, but now she became even more greedy and wanted Eros to do more than only ruffling her hair, as if she was a little girl. She was not a little girl anymore and she didn't want him to see her like one.

She wanted him to see her like a woman.

"What are you talking about with alpha Liam?" Emily tried to drift her negative thought away because she couldn't help, but felt so bitter when she thought about it. She poisoned her own thought by those uncertainties.

"Not much." Eros's expression turned grim when he said that. He looked reluctant to tell her about this, but he decided to let her knew, since it was not a habit of him to hide something from Emily. "Liam is having a deal with human."

Emily narrowed her eyes. "With that man from the East Draghar? What is his name again?" she tried to remember the man that they met when they tested the potion.

"Sol Williams."

"Ah!" Emily made an exclamation. "He is younger brother of luna Jasmine, right?"

"Yes." Eros nodded, he opened the door to the empty kitchen and started to prepare the ingredients for their supper, as Emily helped him as well with that. She took out three meats from the freezer, since she knew one meat wouldn't be enough for Eros. "He leads the army in the East Draghar now."

Because of the help that Artzees gave to East Draghar when they managed to retain the enraged dragon and how that country had admitted that supernatural creatures were real and they lived among them, how dangerous they were, right now, Artzees country helped East Draghar to establish their defense against non human being.

From outside, this was a treaty between two countries, but the fact was; Artzees started to colonize East Draghar, since Sol interfered with their military power with an excuse that they needed to get involved in order to protect the country from the supernatural creatures.

East Draghar was late to notice the threat from the supernatural creature, thus Artzees was way more knowledgeable about such matter.

Seeing massive victims from the enraged dragon, East Draghar was not in the position that they could dispute such thing.

"In that case, why Sol wants to have a cooperation with Liam?" Emily chopped the garlic. She found this activity was very relaxing, despite the topic that they were talking about. "They want to kill our kind."

"Sol has his opinion about this. He thought why the human should fight against the supernatural creatures, when we are already fighting among ourselves." Eros started to grill the meats and the delicious scent wafted inside the kitchen, made Emily's mouth watery, she just remembered how hungry she was right now.

Just like human, they were from the same kind, but would often to fight among themselves, since they had their own greed and intention.

"Sol uses that fact to pit us against each other." Sol cut a small portion and blew it, before he let Emily tasted it.

"He said that blatantly?" Emily munched the meat, but her eyes widened with surprised. How bold he was.

"No, that's the conclusion and interpretation from Liam from their discussion." Eros watched Emily put more salt on the meats, she tended to like something saltier.

"What do you think about that?" Emily looked at him. "If it were you, would you take the offer?"

"I am not the alpha," Eros replied lightly, as he flipped the meat swiftly.

"Where have you been?" Gael was frustrated when he saw Chaos and Zuri entered the lobby of the hotel. He had been waiting for them, while River was trying to calm her father down.

She grinned at Zuri and approached her, didn't heed the way her father grumbled, as she was happy to see her again, since she thought Zuri had gone without saying anything.

"You both had gone after burning the whole room, can you at least explain to me what was going on? I thought someone burned you down into ashes." Gael was well known to his exaggerated nature and River had gotten used to it.

"How do you think that's possible to happen?" That was a nonsense if Chaos could be burned to ashes as simple as that.

"I want you to meet me in study room, tell the other to come as well." Chaos then took Zuri's hand and then walked toward the elevator.

"That's my study room, but why he acts like it's his?" Gael sulked when Chaos and Zuri was no longer there and River came to him, giving him a peck on both of his cheeks.

"If you want to complain, what you could possibly do, father? You can't ask him to reimburse the room, right?" River pointed out the truth of it, since their wealth entangled together in the name of McKeltar family.

"Well, at least, he can apologize and tell me what happened."

River snorted at her father, but she wrapped her arm around his hip. "I bet you just want tohear a gossip."

Gael grumbled that was not wrong, but then he did as Chaos said.

It didn't take long before all of them were gather together in Gael's study room.

Norbeat sat next to Skylar, while the girl stared at Chaos without blinking. She didn't even hide her interest toward Chaos, despite Zuri's presence or even blatant rejection from Chaos himself.

Somehow, Zuri saluted her for her persistence.
