UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

"Seb, I want to tell you something." July knew that she needed to make it clear to Sebastian, because they were in this together now and it was not fair for him if she hid it from him.

No, even from the very beginning, it was not fair for Sebastian. She owed him so much, therefore, she needed to come clean with him right now.

At this point, July didn't know if Sebastian listened to her cries for Knox when Zuri hugged her so tight last night.

"What is it?" Sebastian glanced at her briefly before he focused on the road ahead of them again.

There was a long moment of silence before she admitted this. "I am pregnant." July still had her eyes closed because she didn't want to face Sebastian's reaction.

She could almost feel her senses become too sensitive, as she heard him take a sharp breath as the car stopped all of sudden.

July opened her eyes and there they were, on the street of the abandoned city, while Sebastian stopped the car at the side and stared at her.

She couldn't tell what was in his mind right now because he looked mortified to say the least and she didn't know what he would say to her.

"Say something," July finally spoke, after a long spell of silence that felt like eternity. If Sebastian wanted to get angry or wanted to scream at her, she wanted him to do it… she would better face his criticism, instead of his silence, because she didn't know what she should do at this point.

Sebastian opened his mouth and was about to say something, yet there were no words that came out of his lips. His mind was running a mile per second to find the right words for this situation, but nothing seemed right.

Everything was doomed from the very beginning.

"Is it Knox?" Sebastian finally spoke. He looked at her flat stomach. "Did he know?" That was the most important question that he needed to hear an answer to.

July shook her head.

"How far along are you?" Sebastian felt like he was in the middle of an interview and became uncomfortable with this situation, but he needed to know every detail of it. "How could he not know about this?" As far as he knew, shifters had exceptional senses, there was no way Knox didn't realize this.

"The witch told me that I am pregnant." July couldn't tell him about everything, especially her deal with the devil, because it had nothing to do with him, that was unnecessary information, so she chose to lie by omission.

"How…" Sebastian was lost for words. He wanted to ask how the witch knew about it, but then it was a witch they were talking about, everything was possible for that kind of creature.

Sebastian rubbed his face roughly and then looked July right in her eyes. He just stared at her like that for a few minutes, in silence, until she lowered her head because she couldn't take that.

"Why do you want to hide it from Knox?" Sebastian's voice was a little bit calm, but there was an edge to his words.

July stumbled on her words in order to explain this to him and when she finished, there was another silence again.

"So, you want to keep the baby and not let Knox know about it?" Sebastian wanted to make sure of this part.

"Yes." July nodded. Her voice was so small. She thought Sebastian would say something again, but he didn't. He just restarted the engine and drove the car away. They were a little bit behind the schedule, as they needed to reach Lucinda city before midnight, since the protection spell of Ciara that protected them would be nullified around that time.

"Are you fine with this?" July asked him after two hours of silence.

"Yes." With the baby around, July wouldn't want to see Knox even if she wanted to, he knew how much she wanted this. Therefore, he would see this as a compromise. "I can be the father of the baby."

And they would settle for that. Sebastian would take the role of the father for the baby that July was carrying, because he believed Knox wouldn't be part of their lives anymore.

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

"Long time no see, Morana…" Aaron's golden eyes gleamed with joy to see the seven years old little girl, who was rubbing her sleepy face.

This little girl had the same golden eyes as this devil, though neither her twin brother nor her parents had this rare color of eyes.

People in this pack would say that it was a miracle, because she was born dead, but then she miraculously came back to life with these golden eyes. They said it was a miracle, though Liam knew for sure that was not the case.

The little girl smiled brightly when she saw the man and then immediately jumped out of the bed with her arms wide open.

This man was her secret friend. She was not allowed to tell anyone about their secret meetings every night or else, he wouldn't come to visit her again.

Of course, she would agree, because meeting him was something that she always looked forward to.

Oh, and then Flo. "Flo!" Her golden eyes brightened up when she saw that Flo came with Aaron tonight. She looked beautiful in her pink hair. This young eleven year old girl loved to dye her hair and she would sport a different look every time the two of them came to visit her. "Your hair is amazing!"

Flo waved her hand at her and smiled smugly, as she twirled her hair between her fingers, to show it off.

"Sst." Aaron put his finger in front of his lips, to make her quiet down. "You will wake your twin brother and we will have to take him with us."

Emma frowned and then glanced at Aiden, who was still fast asleep. She didn't like the thought of her twin brother having the same secret as her. Therefore, she obediently walked toward him.

Aaron smiled before he picked her up to carry her out of this bedroom. "Morana…" he said her name, he was beaming to have her in his arms right now. It was only him, who called her Morana, since he thought the name 'Emma' was too sweet for her. He didn't want to make her a sweet little girl. He wanted her to be a little cheeky devil. "Are you ready to go?"

Emma nodded, she hugged Aaron's neck tightly with her eyes locked on Flo's pink hair. She was mesmerized by it and then they disappeared from inside that bedroom, vanishing into thin air, leaving Aiden all alone in his bed.

But the next thing that happened was; Aiden opened his eyes and stared at his twin sister's bed, it was empty, yet he didn't look surprised, as if this was not something that he just found out.

Aiden put the blanket over his head, he was afraid of whoever the man that would come to visit them every night and then take Emma away.

Therefore, he didn't say anything, especially when Emma was always mean to him. He couldn't ask her about that guy. Even his voice made him shudder.

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

"Eros…" Emily looked at Eros, as they walked down this dark corridor toward the secret area, where they kept the previous alpha.

Eros had been trying to convince Emily to make the previous alpha sober enough to answer his questions, ever since Ariana handed over this task to her fully a year ago, because she thought she was already competent enough to take care of this.

Of course, it was with Alpha Liam's permission. Actually, the alpha didn't really care about who was taking care of his father. As long as he lived a shitty life, he would be content with that.

Meanwhile, Eros had been waiting for this moment for years now. There were a few questions that he needed to ask, which he couldn't find the answers from anyone except him.

"It will be fine, Emily," Eros reassured her again. He knew this was too much to ask her, but he needed this. "I just need an hour, after that I will be done with him."

Because Ariana was no longer supervising whatever Emily did with the previous alpha, she could change the prescription and make him sober enough to answer a few questions for Eros.

Fortunately, Emily had a knack for medicine and poison alike, so it was not too hard for her to do so.

"But, if you really don't want this, I will not force you." Eros stopped walking and then turned around to face Emily.

They were only ten steps away from the door, they had come so far and the look in Eros's eyes made it hard for Emily to reject him. They were already here…

"Okay," Emily said in a small voice.

"Are you sure? I don't want to make you feel bad." Eros knew what he was doing. He knew that Emily would agree with him and stop whining about it if he did this.

"Yes, I think it will be fine…" Emily said hesitantly and then walked ahead to hide the concern on her face, as she opened the lock of the room and let Eros enter. "I will stay out here."

Eros smiled at her and then kissed her forehead. "Thank you for your understanding, Emily. I love you."
