UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

Eros didn't know where these attackers came from, but he didn't have time to think about that, since he had to take them down quickly before they could inflict any harm on Emily and Zuri.

Zuri seemed to handle the second attacker just fine; it was expected from an ex-warrior from  the Shadow Moon pack, but Emily was a different story.

She was not like himself and Zuri, once she got torn up, she would die right away, since she didn't have any healing ability.

Therefore, one wrong move on Zuris' part and she missed the attacker's attack, Emily would die. There was no way she would be able to handle even one blow from a beast.

Moreover, Zuri didn't have any obligation to help him or protect Emily. He didn't know if she was that benevolent, but he didn't want to bet on it.

However, the problem here was the fact that he couldn't take the beast he was fighting down. No matter how ferocious he had attacked him, even when he had cut one of his legs, he still got up to continue attacking him relentlessly, as if the beast knew no pain.

This kind of ability was scary to say the least and the only choice Eros had was to cut his head off, so there would be no chance for him to stand up again.

And that was what he did.

In one swift movement, he cut his opponent's throat by using his razor sharp claws and then proceeded to cut his head off before he could stand up again. The black beast kicked the head of his opponent away from his body and immediately dashed toward Zuri, who seemed to have realized the same thing and clawed her opponent's heart out of his chest.

It was a gruesome scene, but the white beast didn't falter at all, even though its white fur was completely covered with blood.

Meanwhile, Emily was clearly petrified, she couldn't even stand straight, as she dropped to the floor and cried inaudibly, her whole body was shaking and her face was as white as paper. She was trying to say something, but there was no word that came out of her trembling lips.

Eros should admit that clawing a beast's heart out of its chest was not a tolerable sight, even for him, but what he did by cutting off his opponent's head was not beautiful either.

The black beast came toward Emily slowly, as he didn't want to scare her even further and then nudged her hand, which made her flinch. The poor girl was about to crawl away from him.

However, when she finally registered who it was, she let out sobs that she had been holding back as fat tears fell from her hazel eyes.

Emily extended her hand and the black beast rubbed the side of his face against her palm, only then did she look a little bit better and finally hugged him, knowing it was Eros and that she was protected.

At that moment, from afar, they could hear a few people approaching this place and the black beast let out a warning growl upon seeing two people that came toward them.

Yet, the white beast moved in front of him and gave him a look, to calm him down, while Emily shut her eyes and hugged the black beast so tight.

It was Gael and Skylar, who came to them and both of them seemed shocked to fumble upon this sight.

"What the hell happened here?!" Gael gasped loudly, but the white beast came over to him and nudged his leg impatiently.

On the other hand, Skylar frowned, she covered her mouth and then threw up.

Zuri didn't know that she had a weak stomach like that, but she didn't have time to come up with something to mock her, because there were a lot of things to do and questions to be asked after this.

At the same time, Gael took off his shirt and gave it to the white beast, which Zuri wore when she shifted back into her human form.

The shirt was long enough, it covered her body until mid thigh, though she would need to change into proper clothes, but she could do it later.

"Gael I think you need to clean this up before anyone can see this, we will talk about this later," Zuri told Gael and then approached Emily, who was still hugging the black beast, there was this strange feeling that washed over her, but she got rid of it immediately, since that was not relevant to this situation. "Come here, I will help you to go back to your room."

Yet, Emily didn't want to let go of the black beast, which made Zuri feel this weird desire to yank her arms away from her mate.

Damn it!

Zuri really wanted to kick herself for even feeling that way. This stupid mate bond!

"Hey, it is okay now, let's go back to your room okay?" But then she remembered that her room's window had been broken. She turned her head toward Gael, who was talking on his phone. "Gael, can I open one more room here? Her room's window had been broken by these attackers."

Gael waved his hand, signaling her to do as she pleased, because he was furious about this incident.

Zuri then stood up and walked toward the nearby room and then kicked it open, which made Gael's jaw drop.

"Are you crazy?! You broke my hotel's door!" Gael didn't know what to do with this girl, he could only shake his head and then go back to talking on the phone.

On the other hand, Zuri didn't give a fuck about what Gael said and then came to persuade Emily again. "Come here," she said, helping her to stand up, which was hard for her to do because she didn't have any strength left.

Right at that time, the black beast scurried away toward the room that Zuri had opened and returned in his human's form, a bathrobe wrapped around his body.

Eros scooted down and then carried Emily's body with ease, as if he had done it a hundred times. Of course, he had done it before, what did Zuri expect from him?

Zuri didn't want to get involved with them any longer, but before she could walk away and help Gael with whatever, Eros looked at her and spoke in a distressful tone.

"Come, help me, please," he said, as he entered the room.

"What can I help with?" Zuri frowned, but she followed him into the room, leaving Gael to deal with this mess, while Skylar was still throwing up.

Eros put Emily down on the bed and then poured a glass of water for her, while she clung to him like a chick did with its mother hen.

On the other hand, Zuri leaned her back against the wall, a frown grazed her face, she folded her arms in front of her chest, waiting for what kind of help that she could provide when this girl was trembling like a dry leaf.

"If you asked me to come here to flaunt your closeness, there are more important things I can do out there." Zuri pointed her finger toward the door that couldn't be closed because she had broken it.

Only then did Eros realize what he had asked for from Zuri. "Can you please stay with her for a while, I need to check on my other friend." He had been thinking about Colton because he didn't come out of the room even though there was a lot of commotion not so far from his room.

There was no way he slept through all of that.

However, Emily hugged him even tighter when she heard he was going to leave, which made Zuri take a deep breath and curse relentlessly at this lame mate bond.

"I will do it, you can stay with her, just tell me the number of his room?" she asked him impatiently, she really wanted to go out of this room and stop seeing them being all affectionate.

Eros thought about that for a while and then agreed to tell her Colton's room number because he couldn't leave Emily, since this girl wrapped her arms so tightly around his body.

"His name is Colton," Eros told her.

Eros probably forgot that she was originally from the same pack, because of this chaotic situation, but Zuri didn't correct him. She simply scurried away the moment she got the room number. She didn't wish to spend another second watching her mate being all chummy with another woman.

She rushed toward Colton's room and her eyes lit up when she smelled blood from inside of this room.

Gael would yell at her again when he found out that she had knocked down another door, but this was an emergency and she needed to get inside quickly.

Loud sound echoed throughout the corridor when Zuri kicked down the door and rushed inside, she was ready to shift into her beast once she felt any danger coming toward her, as her claws had elongated.

However, she found no one but Colton. He was laying with his face down on the floor, in a pool of his own blood. The sight was very worrying.

Zuri saw the broken window, chilly night wind rushed in through it and sure enough, he had been attacked the same way Emily did.

"Colton!" Zuri called his name and turned his body, so she could see how gravely injured he was. She gasped when she got a clear idea of his state.
