UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

"We can't let them find his body, or else, we will be in trouble big time," Eros told her calmly, his voice soothing to her ears, only if she didn't know the context of their conversation, she would love to hear him talk some more. "Can you do it?"

Emily lifted her head to look at Eros, she still didn't dare to acknowledge the dead body of Josh. "What will happen after that? They will realize that Josh disappeared."

Eros glanced at the heap that was the dead body of Josh. "Let them know. They don't have any evidence to pin the blame on us."

"Why should you kill him?" Emily whimpered, as tears welled up in her eyes. Eros had been fortunate enough that he could leave unscathed when he killed Derek, but a repeated offense would be so hard for him to escape from, since the members of this pack wouldn't accept that.

They even lost their best warrior at that time and the punishment that the alpha directed to Darius, Derek's brother, was still seen as unfair by most of the pack members, but no one would go against the alpha's words and show their displeasure openly.

"Because only a dead man will not say anything." Which meant, they couldn't afford to live in constant fear that he would speak about what he had seen tonight one day. Both of them knew not to believe anyone else, except each other.

They had learned about it the hard way.

"Can you do it?" Eros asked her again, because she was still shaken up and yet to answer him. "I have already killed one of them in the past, but this time, I don't think even the alpha will be of much help if the whole pack learned about it."

Eros didn't need to say that, because Emily knew exactly what their current situation was.

"I will do it." That was the only answer that Emily could give to Eros, despite everything else, no matter what he did, she would always be by his side.

Eros nodded and then kissed her temple, he tucked the loose strands of her hair behind her ear and wiped her tears. After that, he poured a glass of water for her to calm herself down, which helped greatly.

Eros was very patient with her, he didn't rush her and waited until she felt better and did it at her own pace.

It took Emily around five more minutes before she could compose herself. She then walked to the desk on the other side of this room, where she usually did her experiments and concocted potions for Xerxes.

She put all of her focus on the task at hand, as she didn't want to look at the mound of Josh's dead body near the door.

"Are you okay, Emily?" Eros asked her, he approached her to make sure that she was fine. Her face was a little bit pale, but she kept doing what she needed to do. She knew her assignment for tonight.

"I am fine, you don't need to worry, this will be done in a few minutes," Emily said hastily. Her hands kept shaking, while she poured liquid after liquid into a small glass tube.

This was something that she created accidentally, she intended to make medicine that could lighten the color of the scar on her face. She still didn't give up on that, but accidentally a drop fell on a dead rabbit and the poor thing was burned without fire before it disappeared without a trace, just like dust.

Eros was there to witness that, thus it was only her and him, who knew about this. She intentionally didn't let Ariana know about it, because she would scold her for creating something so dangerous, even though it was by pure accident.

But, more than that, Eros told her to keep it a secret and not to let anyone learn about it.

"Here…" Emily gave the small tube of dark liquid to Eros carefully. He just needed to sprinkle a few drops on Josh's body and all the evidence of his existence would disappear.

Eros would have to do it, because there was no way Emily had the heart to do such a cruel thing, even though this was once her bully.

She was extremely nervous, her whole body became so cold and she was shivering, as if this was in the middle of winter.

This was the first time for Emily to help Eros with this kind of task and she had a complicated feeling about this.

Eros took the small tube from Emily, as she murmured 'be careful', she cared more about him than anything else.

"Of course, I will be." Eros caressed her cheek and then wiped down his palm gently on her face. "Close your eyes and cover your ears like before."

If Eros wasn't mistaken, there would be a hissing sound that they would hear and it was a little bit disturbing.

Emily did as she was told and turned her body around, while covering her ears and shutting her eyes.

After making sure that Emily had covered her ears, he walked toward Josh's dead body and then poured about three drops of the strange liquid on it.

Once the liquid touched Josh's dead body, there was a hissing sound that lasted for around three seconds, before everything vanished. It actually turned into ashes and when the wind blew in from the opened window, the poor young warrior's existence was swept away completely.

His family wouldn't have his body to mourn over and his grave wouldn't have his remains to be buried.

After everything had gone the way he intended, Eros approached Emily and tapped on her shoulder lightly, to let her know that everything had been done. "Can you do something about the smell of this blood?" Eros asked her.

Emily sneaked a peek at the area around the door, but she couldn't find anything there, aside from a little dirt, which would be swept away by the wind, if they left the window open.

No one would even know a murder had happened here only a few minutes ago.

"There is no smell of blood." Emily sniffed at the air, but Eros chuckled and tapped her nose with his forefinger.

"Of course, you can't smell it," Eros said and then tapped his own nose. "Remember?"

Emily felt a little bit at ease when she watched how Eros was laughing lightly at her. "Well, I think I can do something about this smell."

"You are so smart, Emily," Eros was pleased, he reached out his hand to caress her face.

Hearing that, Emily's face lit up. She always loved to hear such compliments from him. For a moment, she forgot about poor Josh, but then she would never forget what had happened tonight for the rest of her life.

She didn't kill him, but she felt no less guilty, as if she was the one who had done it.

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

Aiden woke up from his sleep and his eyes immediately darted toward his twin, Emma, who was still sleeping on the bed.

He was always terrified of his own twin, as if there was something in her that emanated danger. Just like when he went hunting with their father and felt the predator that lurked from the shadows. The feeling was almost the same.

Emma would have a visitor or two every now and then. He remembered their voices, but he was too afraid to make any noise.

Fortunately, their father would soon give him a room for himself, thus he didn't need to be in the same room as her.

Even though they were twins, Aiden didn't really like her, he liked Kenna, his five years old sister, better.

"Why are you staring at me?" Emma opened her eyes all of a sudden, but they didn't look sleepy at all, which made Aiden flinch. He immediately avoided her gaze, as he got off the bed and then wore his slippers.

"I didn't stare at you," he said, as he ran out of the room.

It was still early in the morning and the air was so crisp and fresh. A few guards would greet him when they saw him and he would happily greet them back.

"Sister Emily," Aiden called her, his face lit up at the sight of his favorite sister.

Of course, Emily was not really his sister, but she had been taking care of him and Emma since they were really little.

"Good morning, Aiden," Emily greeted him. She was a little bit startled to meet him this early in the morning. "Why did you wake up so early?"

Aiden rushed toward her and then hugged her. He was a sweet little boy, though she couldn't say the same about his father. Emily couldn't believe this sweet little boy was actually Alpha Liam's son.

"I can't fall asleep again," he replied curtly.

"Why? Bad dream?" Emily asked, but she kept glancing over her shoulder before taking Aiden's hand to lead him away from this place.

The little boy followed her. "No." He didn't want to tell her what he felt, because he was afraid of Emma.

On the other hand, Emily didn't pay much attention to his answer or to his expression, because there was something more important that she needed to think about.

"Why don't we have breakfast together?" Emily asked in a cheerful voice, which didn't reach her eyes.

"Yes." Aiden nodded his head vigorously. Emily was his favorite person. "After that, can we see mommy?"

Emily didn't understand why Aiden wanted to see Jasmine even though she always treated him coldly. He always had this bright and happy expression on his face. "Sure."
