Untamed: The Alpha-Chapter 474 - 474 A KISS AND MORE

474 A KISS AND MORE

Eros felt complicated when he was with Emily in this city, the city where all the human lived. He wanted to let her go, but at the same time, he used to be with her. He couldn’t remember when he didn’t have her around.

And to think that he wouldn’t be able to see her made him slightly upset, but nevertheless, he still offered her that choice.

“You don’t need to go back to the pack if you…” the word came out of his mouth just like that.

But, Eros had not yet finished his words when Emily hugged him from behind, she rested her her head on his shoulder, while her long hair cascaded down. “You know that impossible. The alpha will not stay put if he knows I stay.”

Emily knew a lot of secret of the pack and was in a secret experiment with Ariana, thus it was slim to none for the alpha to free her without any scrupulous.

Moreover, not only that…

Emily didn’t have any intention to live Eros, even if she had the chance, she wouldn’t go anywhere without him.

“I can handle that. I will find a way to take care of it,” Eros promised her. If she really wanted to stay among her kind, he would do everything he could to make that happened.

“Stop it!” Emily lifted her head and shot him a dagger look, while her eyes welled with tears. “Don’t say anything like that again. I will not go anywhere without you.”

.....

Eros was surprised when he saw her strong reaction, this was the first time for Emily to raise her voice on him, but he understood, why she was very upset right now.

“Okay, I am sorry,” Eros said lightly, he caressed her head to soothe her annoyance and made her slightly calm down.

“Don’t talk about sending me away ever again,” Emily whimpered. “I feel like you want to abandon me.”

Both of them were being abandoned and only had each other for years, therefore, the word had a very strong meaning for them, in bad way.

“I am sorry, I will never say that again,” Eros apologized sincerely to her and wiped away her tears, her face flushed red, because she was holding back her emotion. “I will never leave you.”

“You promise me.”

Eros smiled softly and nodded. “Promise.”

Emily wrapped her arms around Eros’s neck and then hugged him even tighter, while he caressed her head gently, but then she moved her body to the front and ended up straddled him.

Seeing this position, Eros furrowed his brows slightly, this was not comfortable, but Emily was still upset, he didn’t want to agitate her further, so he sat there and waited what she would do.

On the other hand, Emily seemed nervous, she bit her lip and stole a glance at Eros, but the man didn’t do anything to her, he just held her so she wouldn’t fall from his laps, but he didn’t make any movement.

“Do you love me?” Emily asked him, but her voice came out as a pleading, as a desperate affirmation that Eros wouldn’t leave her.

“Yes, I do,” Eros answered that almost immediately, he didn’t even take time to think about the answer first, as if that was an automatic reply for such question.

Emily became even more apprehensive now. She looked at Eros timidly through her wet lashes, yet he didn’t show any emotion. The way he looked at her was always the same.

“If you don’t comfortable, sit here…” Eros patted the bed next to him, because Emily was fidgeting, but she did something that he didn’t expect.

Closing her eyes, Emily leaned over and pressed her lips against his for a brief second, but her heart felt like it was going to explode because of the tension.

Emily opened her eyes again and saw Eros was staring at her, but her mind didn’t work really well. She couldn’t tell, whether he was angry at her or not.

“Are you… are you angry?” Emily asked him carefully. Her hands balled into tight fists on Eros’s shoulder, while his hands were on her hips.

“Why should I?” His voice was really calm and gentle, like a quiet surface of a lake.

“Because…” Emily gulped down, she felt like she wanted to cry. “Because I kissed you.” She felt like she was going to die when she said that, yet there was no change in Eros’s expression.

“You kissed me before.” He referred to what she had done that night, when they visited Xerxes. She kissed him as well that time.

“Oh, right…” Emily tugged on her hair nervously. “You don’t like it?”

“When you kissed me?”

Emily really wanted to end this conversation. Why did he have to emphasize those words? He should have known that, right? He made her felt really embarrassed.

In the end, Emily could only nod, but she couldn’t take her eyes away from him, she wanted to see his reaction to that.

“No, I don’t dislike it,” Eros replied genuinely.

Hearing that, Emily bit her lip, she didn’t know if she would overstep the boundaries between them or not, but she had gone so far, why wouldn’t she push her luck a little bit more.

Trembling, Emily put her hands beside his face, she waited if Eros would finally push her away or not, thus when he didn’t do anything, she leaned over, very slowly, which made her heart beat so fast, Eros must have heard this by now because of the closeness between them.

Emily thought, Eros would finally push her away when he realized what her intention, but he didn’t.

And when she was only a breath away from kissing him, she thought this was the right time for him to turn his head and reject her, if he didn’t want to do this.

However, he didn’t do it. He stayed at the same position. He didn’t make any move that indicated he would reject her.

His hands were relax on both side of Emily’s hips when she kissed him again. This time, it lingered a little bit longer and Emily could feel his warm breath.

It was an innocent kiss, she just pressed her lips against his, since she didn’t know what to do and Eros didn’t make any movement or kissed her back, or did anything. He just accepted the kiss and that was all.

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

“Zuri, I don’t want to be here,” River said sternly, her eyes hardened when she knew where Zuri drove the car.

She had told her that she didn’t want to visit this place, she wanted to go to the café that she mentioned before, but Zuri insisted that they would just drive away and wouldn’t stop. She just wanted to see the building.

This place was the old headquarter of the hound and they moved it away to different sector three years ago and now this area was only an abandoned building.

Zuri kept her words that she didn’t stop by, they would only drive passed it, but River felt her body stiffened, she remembered all those years when she was being the object of their experiment. She was still having a nightmare because of that even now.

“Let’s get out of here,” River practically implored her.

Zuri turned her head and saw how pale River was and knew she had pushed her too far. “I am sorry, my mistake. We will go now, okay?” Zuri extended her hand and grabbed hers in order to calm her down.

She could feel how she was trembling and she genuinely felt bad for that. Her hands were so cold and she kept her eyes on her knees, didn’t dare to see the sight outside of the car.

“I am sorry, River,” Zuri said it again and squeezed her hand to make sure that she knew she was not alone.

Her intention to check this site was to know what kind of facility the Hound was. She had encountered the Hound years ago, when they attacked the McKeltar manor and faced against July’s twin sister, Jasmine.

However, aside from that encounter and the frozen lake, also a few meaningless engagements, they actually had different goal and walked on different path.

Yet, Gael had told her that in the future, there was a huge possibility that they would be clashed against each other, since they hellbent to hunt Chaos down.

Their ego seemed inflated after they managed to subdue the dragon. Occasionally, Zuri would think about Killian and felt bad because of her that triggered his shift into his beast’s form, though the reason behind it was way more complicated, but Chaos had warned her and she didn’t oblige.

“We are no longer around that site,” Zuri informed River, she pulled over the car and checked on her and felt really bad when she saw how pale she was. She shouldn’t bring her along with her if she knew she would react this bad… “Stay here, okay? I will go to buy some drink.” 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

River nodded meekly, she felt her throat was aching so bad. She wanted something fresh to wash away her fear.

With that, Zuri got off the car and lucky for her that she pulled over in front of a small convenient store.

She walked straight to the convenient store, but her step halted when a certain scent hit her. This made her whole body stiffened. She turned around. She knew this scent really well…
