Untamed: The Alpha-Chapter 490 - 490 SHE SHOULDN’T HAVE FOLLOWED HIM

490 SHE SHOULDN’T HAVE FOLLOWED HIM

Emily didn’t know what came to her mind when she said this, but she was completely blinded by jealousy. She was jealous because Eros met his mate, that he found his mate and that was not her.

She was selfish, yes. But, this was because she was well aware about the meaning of mate for shifter like him. How could she feel not threatened when he met his mate behind her back?

That white hair girl was his mate, they were compatible in every aspect. There would be less issues if they wanted to be together.

And moreover…

Emily knew who was that white hair girl, she heard Eros asked about her a few times in the past, though it was only a casual question, but she noticed about it now.

Her insecurity drove her crazy and she felt horrified to even feel this way.

But, it was not baseless feeling, the case between Liam and Jasmine proved it that the bond would strengthen again even after the rejection.

“You will choose me over her?” Emily only felt slightly better when she heard this and wiped away her tears that escaped her eyes without her knowing it. “Prove it.”

Eros couldn’t think of anything about how to prove something like that. “How?”

.....

Emily knew she would overstep the boundaries, she was asking too much and she was selfish, insecure and childish, but she needed this.

“Mark me.” The word came out from her trembling lips. She looked at Eros’ blue eyes, wishing she could take back her words, but at the same time, she wanted to hear what could be his answer for this. “I want you to mark.”

Eros was silence for a moment, but aside from a brief surprised, he calmed down again, as if there was nothing happen and Emily hated it when he didn’t show his emotions blatantly when she was on the verge of breaking down.

“You know what you are asking?” Eros asked in placid tone and watched Emily bobbed her head with determination in her eyes.

“Yes, I know.” She emphasized it again and then took a step closer to him, she grabbed his hands, she was afraid that he would back away from her, but to her relief, he didn’t do it. He didn’t run away. He faced her and took her nonsense. “I want you to mark me.”

This was the only way that she could put her heart at ease. At the very least, he was tied with her. They had been together, since they were little and she knew that he loved her.

“Emily.” Eros wriggled his hand from her grip, which mad her face fell, but he extended his hand to caress her cheek instead. “Werewolf’s mark can be very dangerous, let alone a lycan like me. I know that you know about this. You are so smart that you can figure out the risk of it.”

Eros’s voice was very gentle, he cared for her and thought about her first. She knew it, but that was not enough, especially when his mate had appeared out of nowhere.

“You have been asking about her,” she stated and Eros knew exactly what she meant by that. “When you met her for the first time?”

“Yes, I met her when I went to the East Draghar years ago with Liam,” Eros admitted it, there was nothing he gained from lying about this. “I was only fourteen at that time.”

Emily knew that the bond would start when you passed, at least, sixteen, thus she assumed Eros and that girl didn’t know about the mate bond between them yet.

“Moreover, we have a lot of things to do.” Eros nodded at the dead body of the beast. “If I mark you now, you will be in pain for a whole week, or maybe more, because my mark will come very strong for your body to handle. Do you want to stay here for another weeks, laying on the bed?”

Emily hated the idea. She wanted them to go back to the pack immediately, so Eros didn’t need to meet with that girl again.

“Let’s finish our job here, okay?” Eros coaxed her, he tucked strands of her hair behind her ear. “And then go back home.”

Emily nodded. She knew that she became irrational for a moment there. “Okay.” She glanced at him and then tiptoed to peck his lips, which he only reciprocated with a small smile.

“Let’s be done here,” Eros said, nudging her to finish her job immediately, so they could check on Colton after this.

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

“I need you to come with me,” Knox said, as he entered Zuri’s bedroom, while she was laying on the bed, doing nothing.

She had been like this for the past days because she didn’t want to roam around this place, just in case she met with Eros, knowing they needed to prolong their stay because Colton was injured.

Zuri also didn’t come to see Colton, because she thought that was not necessary. As long as he was alive, everything was fine.

“Don’t you know that you have to knock on the door first before you enter someone else’s room?” Zuri lifted her head slightly to see Knox was standing at the feet of her bed. “That’s not polite?”

“Polite? Coming from you?” Knox scowled, both of them knew Zuri had barged into his room countless times, ever since she was only a child. “Get up and come with me.”

“Where?” Zuri curled her body on the bed, she didn’t want to leave the comfort of her bed. This morning, Chaos went away before she woke up and Zuri had been feeling restless every time he was not close to her. “I need to rest.”

“Rest? You are the only one, who is doing nothing around here.” The words were harsh, but Zuri knew that was true. “If you come here only to become a liable, I can send you back to the McKeltar manor right in this instant.”

Hearing that, Zuri immediately sat down and glared at Knox. “Chaos will not agree to that.”

“The last time I checked, he is still reluctant to accept your presence here,” Knox countered, he smirked when he knew he won this argument. “Do you want me to send you back? I doubt Chaos will bring you back here.”

Zuri clicked her tongues in annoyance. “What do you want me to do?” She got off the bed and then pour a glass of water for herself.

“Come with me,” Knox said without further explanation and then walked out of the room, but before he closed the door. He glanced at Zuri and spoke in light tone. “If I have to wait for you for a long time, I will send you back to the manor.”

Zuri growled at that man and had this urge to punch him on the face, as she grabbed her jacket and tied her long white hair into a messy bun on top of her head.

“Damn you, Knox!” she cursed under her breath.

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

Zuri knew that she shouldn’t trust Knox completely and she needed to ask for more specific aid that she needed, because it would save her from this awkward situation.

They were inside the room, where they kept the dead beasts’ bodies, but that was not the sight that worth to be held, because right in front of Zuri was; Eros and the girl, Emily, while Gael was standing next to her.

They seemed in the middle of discussion when Zuri and Knox entered the room. ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

“Where have you been? I have been calling you to come here, but you didn’t answer,” Gael protested.

“If you wish to lazy around, you better go back to the manor,” Skylar chimed in, she was standing at the corner of the room, seemed disgusted by the sight of the dead bodies, while Norbeat was nowhere to be seen.

Zuri groaned internally when she saw people in this room. Could she be unluckier than this?

She had been avoiding Eros like a plague and didn’t take a step out of her bedroom, but here she was, following Knox led straight to the exact person that she didn’t want to meet.

“What do you need me here?” Zuri tried to ignore Skylar’s snide comment and also the fact that she was the most messy people in this room.

Her hair was unkempt, she had been wearing the same shirt and jogging pants for three days straight, not to mention this shirt had a very strong Chaos’s scent in it, one could imagine the most lewd scene and that could be right and she was only wearing hotel slippers.

“Emily will tell us about what she had discovered about these two beasts,” Gael told her, he waved his hand for Zuri to come closer, which made her very reluctant, because she needed to be near Emily and Eros as well.

Thus, she resolved by standing next Knox, who gave her a curios glance, because she chose to be with him, instead of Gael.

“What she discovered?” Zuri tried to act as nonchalantly as possible, but the more Emily talked and let them know about these two beasts, she immediately knew that she was not any normal human, she was smart and quick witted when she explained the situation.

“Is it all right for you to share this information with us?” Zuri eyed Emily.

“Gael will kick us out if we don’t,” she replied.
