Untamed: The Alpha

Sol didn’t respond to that for a while, as he was trying to discern the information in his head, but then he started laughing maniacally, as if he had lost his mind.

“Great. I know where I should stand now,” he hissed at his father. He shouldn’t be surprised by this revelation, since he already knew that he didn’t have the same obsession as his father, but it still stung when he had to hear it directly. “Thank you for letting me know.”

After saying that, Sol turned around and didn’t even look back at his father at all. There was no turning back from this.

On the other hand, in his rage, Archie took the phone and called someone.

“Kill that woman. I don’t care what you will do, I want that woman dead.” His voice trembled from anger and now he didn’t want to give Sol the satisfaction of being with his lover. This was a punishment for him for choosing her above his family and the organization.

“Will do, Sir,” the man said from the other line of the phone.

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

“I need to go back to my people!” Jasmine insisted. She tried to talk to Liam, but he didn’t want to listen to her. He didn’t budge with his decision to take Jasmine back to his pack instead. He knew he had the power to force his will to make Jasmine stay by his side and he would do it just like that.

.....

Even more so after seeing how the human race had fallen into a horrible state as the massive victim of the supernatural creatures’ wrath while the members of The Hound were no longer able to control the situation. He would rather have his mate under his protection, moreover, Liam just didn’t want them to be apart again.

This was the perfect opportunity for them to be together, but Jasmine didn’t think the same.

“No.” Liam glared at Jasmine, he looked at his mate with anger for throwing a tantrum. “Once my people know that you want to go back to your filthy family, they will see you as an enemy.”

The situation between the humans and the non-human beings was already so tense, thus if Jasmine thought she could put her legs in two boats, she was completely wrong. It was so na?ve of her to think that way.

There was no going back once she had crossed to the other side while Liam wouldn’t be able to convince his people and control their hatred toward humans. He would get a backlash if he forced them to do so.

“Do you think they don’t see me as the next target of their ferocity and anger now?!” Jasmine shouted at Liam in frustration. Liam was driving and fortunately they were alone in this car, while the others took another car, so both of them could have a screaming match all they wanted. “I could die if we really go to your pack!”

Jasmine would feel helpless and powerless if she went to a place she didn’t have any control whatsoever, that was a nightmare she didn’t want to endure.

For someone like Jasmine, control was the essence of her life, so when it was taken from her, she didn’t know what to do, or how to face it.

“I will protect you!” Liam yelled back at her. He hit the brakes and the two cars behind him stopped as well. He couldn’t have this argumentation with Jasmine while driving, they could run into an accident and while he would be all right, he didn’t think Jasmine’s human body could endure it. “I will not let anyone touch a single hair of you!”

Jasmine scoffed, her eyes ablaze with anger. “You can say that to another woman, but I don’t need your protection. I can protect myself.” She was not raised that way. She wouldn’t rely or wait for someone to protect her. She could protect herself just fine.

“You are being unreasonable,” Liam hissed through his gritted teeth. His whole body trembled, as a low growl erupted from within his chest.

He was trying to control his anger and frustration to have to face Jasmine and her unreasonable excuses for not wanting to be with him.

“You don’t want to be with me.” That was not a question, but a statement. “You will choose your organization that kills people like me, rather than to be with me, your mate.”

Jasmine didn’t really think that way, but if she had to face that kind of situation and she had to choose between these two, she knew what her answer would be.

And Liam was not stupid to read the answer from Jasmine lack of response.

“So, this is it?” Liam couldn’t believe that they would reach this point. He could see tears streaming down on her cheeks, but she would never change her decision.

“There is no way for us to be together in this life,” Jasmine said, her voice small. The reality of it hit her harsher than she thought.

“Jasmine, we can make this work.” Liam grabbed Jasmine’s hand and felt her cold skin against his. “We can be together.”

Yes, they could be together, but the sacrifices that were required for them to be together was the cost that Jasmine was not willing to give up.

So did Liam, if Jasmine asked him the same thing.

“How?” Jasmine nodded to the ruined city before them, where people died by the roadside as supernatural beings roamed the streets freely. Blood dyed every inch of this place.
