UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

"SIT DOWN!" The alpha's voice boomed inside this room.

Eros halted his step when he heard the booming sound that echoed throughout the wall, as the pressure of using the alpha's voice forced him to obey his order.

However, as a lycan and didn't really put his loyalty on Liam, the effect was not as great, as when the alpha talked to the other pack member, though it was enough to tame Eros a little bit.

"You can do whatever you wish to do, but I am not going back with what my opinion." Eros didn't sit down like what Liam told him to do, but he stopped in his track, while Emily cowered behind him.

She knew that the relationship between Liam and Eros became even worst as the young lycan grew older and could voice out his own opinion, but she didn't know to what extent, especially for Eros to talk back to the alpha. It wouldn't end good knowing Liam's character.

For a moment, the two of them looked at each other and surprisingly, it was Liam, who softened his feature first.

"Okay. You can keep your opinion for yourself, but you obliged to follow my lead." That meant, Eros could refuse Liam's idea to collude with human in order to kill their own kind, so they could learn and get their hands on their knowledge, which in the end they could use for themselves.

The end goal of it was to save the supernatural creature from human being, as they grew smarter and stronger with their knowledge and technology, but the method that Liam used, which Eros rejected.

For a moment, there was only silence between them and Emily felt she would have passed out with this tension in the air, the atmosphere was so thick, you could cut it with knife. Thankfully, Eros held her firmly, so she wouldn't fall to the floor in this situation.

"Fine, but I will go with her," Eros replied curtly and then turned around to leave the room with Emily close to him.

"Sure, as you wish." Liam watched the door was closed with a smirk curled on the corner of his lips.

Emily was having a hard time to follow his long strides and when they were a little bit far away from the alpha's study, Eros slowed down his pace.

"Are you, okay?" Eros looked at her closely, as he could feel her trembling hand in his grip and her pale face.

"I thought I was going to die," Emily said exaggeratedly, while clutching her chest. "Is it often for you to have such disagreement with the alpha?" she leaned her head against his arm and breathed deeply.

"Not really, but some time he just pissed me off," Eros told her honestly, which made Emily grimaced. That was so daring of him to talk about the alpha like that, but he seemed didn't care much about how he portrayed Liam.

"Be careful, Eros," Emily mumbled, she was serious when she said this. "You don't know what he can do."

This part was true, both of them knew that Liam knew no bound for what he would do for something that he wanted. He could demise his former beta and replaced him with Eros through atbikai, not to mention he was the one, who had poisoned the former beta in order for Eros to win the fight.

He could do that to Damon and he would definitely do it again if he saw Eros was no longer fit with him.

"I know," Eros said lightly, but his mind had started to think the measure that he needed to take to counter such situation. "I need to meet with Xerxes again tonight, can you prepare it?"

Emily had almost forgotten about Xerxes because of alpha Liam sudden order to come to East Draghar.

"Why do you have to meet him?" Emily lowered her head, because she didn't want Eros to see her expression, as it would give away what she felt and thinking at this moment. "You meet him quite often recently."

"I need to take all the precaution," Eros replied, he was sure there was no one within earshot, so they could talk about this in the communal area like this. "The only person, who knows about Liam and hold a grudge against him is only Xerxes."

That was why, he was the perfect person for Eros to ask anything related to Liam, since Colton was too neutral and he still didn't trust him enough to discuss such thing with him. After all, the gamma was loyal to the alpha, whoever the alpha was.

"Can you do it?"

No.

That was the answer that Emily wanted to say, but what came out of her lips was different.

"Okay."

Emily felt pathetic to feel this way, but after her brief conversation with alpha Xerxes, she didn't feel relief, if anything, she became even more bitter.

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

"What happened with your face?" Zuri asked, as she watched Knox in front of her. He entered the east draghar two days ago, but only today they could meet to talk about things further.

However, from the look on his face, she could tell easily that he brought bad news.

"Why? Do you see handsomeness?" Knox asked her back, which made Zuri's frown deepened.

"You should stop hanging around with Gael, so his absurdity will not rub on you," she commented, because from what she knew, it was Gael, who would always make such comment shamelessly.

Knox ignored that and talked straight to the business. "Norbeat got caught."

Norbeat supposed to arrive at the east draghar yesterday and immediately went to see Chaos, while Skylar would arrive tomorrow.

"The organization caught him when he trespassed the border."

"How could that happen?" Chaos narrowed his eyes. This was not something common for Norbeat to get caught, since he could possess anyone that he wanted.
