Untamed: The Alpha

“Why don’t I need to know? Something big happened?” Jasmine looked at Darius intently, but the man decided to read his book instead.

Annoyed, Jasmine stood up and then walked toward him, as she sat down on the chair next to him.

“You can tell me, you know... I can’t do anything about it after all.” Jasmine then snatched the book from his hands and hid it behind her back to get his attention. “Talk to me. I want you to talk to me.”

Darius growled deeply, his eyes piercing through hers. “I don’t want to talk to you.”

“Give me a reason that I can accept.”

“I don’t need a reason.”

Jasmine looked down and bit her lips, she looked sad when she returned the book to him, she didn’t even look him in the eyes.

“I am sorry, I just want someone to talk to,” she said quietly and then took the book that she was about to read, yet it was clear she was stuck on the same page for the next ten minutes.

.....

Out there, the sun went down and darkness took seat in the night sky, while harsh winds rattled dry branches that knocked on the windows of this room.

“There is a Dragon in the East Draghar.” Darius finally gave in. His eyes were still on the book that he was reading when he talked. “The alpha and the beta are there and we can’t get a hold of them.”

Jasmine turned her head sharply and looked at Darius with wide eyes, then she started tearing up, which caught the clueless off guard.

Darius put down his book and then looked at Jasmine with a deep line between his eyes.

“What is it?” he asked confusedly.

“If something happened to Liam, they will kill me,” Jasmine sobbed, she covered her face with her hands as her body started shaking uncontrollably.

On the other hand, the words that Jasmine said hit Darius hard. That was right, the only reason why Jasmine was still alive right now was because this was the alpha’s order, but once he was gone, who would hold themselves back from killing her?

The same way they did to his mate.

“They will kill me...” Jasmine trembled as she rested her head against Darius’ chest, crying incessantly.

For a moment, Darius did nothing. He neither tried to console her, nor did he push her away, but when another minute passed and Jasmine was still trembling against him, slowly, he wrapped his arms around her body and caressed her back in soothing circles.

Still, there were no words between them, but it could be a start of something...

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

The Hound and The Delta, two forces that were created by Archie Williams and the Government to fight and demolish the non-human beings from this realm, were on high alert as they prepared themselves to go to the East Draghar.

“Nikolai,” Vanesha called for her brother, as she entered the preparation room. There were at least a dozen men inside. All of them turned their heads toward Vanesha and then Nikolai.

Some of them knew that Vanesha was their leader’s sister, but the rest of them were simply clueless.

“Can we talk for a moment?” Vanesha asked him to go out with her for a while.

Nikolai, who was clad in his fighting gear, looked at his wristwatch. “I have ten minutes,” he said to Vanesha, to which she nodded.

Both of them walked out of the room and stood in the corridor, which seemed secluded enough for the time being.

“What is it?” Nikolai asked. If it was some other time, he wouldn’t be so impatient. He would give all his time to her and listen to what she wanted to say, but not right now. He needed to do his duty.

“Is it possible for you to not go?” Vanesha asked expectantly. She looked a little bit uncomfortable, when she had to ask this, because she knew what kind of questions that would follow afterward.

“You know the answer even before you asked me this.” Nikolai pointed out the truth.

“Still, can’t you ditch this?”

Nikolai narrowed his eyes, as he looked at his sister. He folded his arms in front of his chest, showing how well built he was. He was no longer a shy little boy, who was harassed by their father to play piano.

It had been years since he touched those delicate keys, as he was busy cocking his gun.

“I don’t understand you, Vanesha. I don’t think I know you anymore,” Nikolai said grimly. “What are you planning? Don’t give me bulshit saying you know nothing. I know you have a hidden agenda.” Whether it was against the organization, or she was in it. Whatever it was, she was endangering her own life.

“You will never return to this country,” Vanesha said, it took everything in her to tell him this. At the end of the day, Nikolai was her brother and she didn’t want anything to happen to him. “All of the soldiers that will be sent there, will stay in East Draghar, because we will expand our forces there.”

Now East Draghar was relying on Artzees country to deal with the non-human beings, of course, the upper rank members wouldn’t let this chance slip through their fingers.

“You will go there.” That was not a question, but a statement, since he knew Vanesha needed to assist one of the experimental objects. “Why can’t I go there?”

Vanesha took a deep breath. She was struggling with this. “Do you know who the girl that was being used as the experimental object by the organization was?”

Nikolai didn’t have any idea about that.

“She is River. Gael and Lise’s daughter,” Vanesha said.
