UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

Once Colton was no longer inside the room, Liam smiled at Eros and Emily, he waved his hand, gesturing for them to take their seats.

"Don't look at me like that, I am not going to do something horrendous to either of you, so you can put aside your negative thoughts about me."

Eros grabbed Emily's hand and let her sit down next to him on the sofa, while Liam was sitting in front of them.

Emily knew that Eros and Liam were not on good terms, the more they worked together, the more they had disagreements on things.

However today, Eros seemed to be exceptionally agitated with the fact that Liam called for Emily and wanted to talk alone with her.

"I want you to go to the East Draghar country and meet up with Sir Nikolai, the representative of the organization. He is Sol William's right hand man." Liam didn't beat around the bush, because they wouldn't go anywhere if he did that. He would only test Eros's patience, which was on the negative side.

"No, she can't go. The last mission is enough for you to expose her." Eros was so stern when he talked to him. This was another thing that he disagreed with Liam. "Those people are using you to kill our kind, don't you realize that?"

Emily didn't say anything, while Eros's grip on her wrist tightened. She could sense that this was not a new disagreement between them. They must have discussed this at some point.

"We don't get involved with humans, Liam," Eros spoke coldly, he didn't even use Liam's title while addressing him, yet the alpha didn't seem to mind it at all. "No matter how bad our relationship with the other pack is, we should not help humans to destroy our own kind just to benefit ourselves."

Liam's expression hardened when he heard that. "You are not the alpha in this pack, are you?" He leaned his body forward when he spoke again. "Know your position, beta Eros." He emphasized the word 'beta', so Eros would remember his rank in this pack, and that Liam was the alpha. "This is my call as the Alpha."

Emily squeezed Eros's hand so hard to make him notice she was still there, at which he swallowed back the words that he was about to say. It was a good thing that Emily was there to remind him, because the words that he wanted to say could be counted as treason.

He wouldn't only get himself into trouble, but he would drag Emily down as well. If it was up to him, he would have Liam's head right now, yet a close fight with Emily nearby was not a good choice.

"You used to hate humans, what changed?" Emily asked, her soft and meek voice thawed the tension in the air and the alpha's expression softened when he looked at her.

"I don't hate you." He stated and then added, "Time changes, everything around us changes as well. If we don't change ourselves and our view, we will eventually be exterminated."

Humans had evolved and their victory against the dragon shifter shook the entire supernatural society where they could no longer think of humans as weak creatures. They were weak when they had to fight one on one with supernatural creatures, but one they united and equipped themselves well, they could even tame the dragon shifter.

What happened years ago, when humans managed to come out as the victors in the battle against the dragon, was still a shock for them.

Some supernatural creatures started to make alliances to destroy humans before they could become even stronger, but some of them, like Liam, chose a different path to form an alliance with humans instead wanting to destroy their own kind in order to learn about their equipment and how they worked. It also saved them from fighting against them, as they were allies now.

However, Eros and Colton were against this idea. Colluding with humans to gain protection from them and sneakily learning about them was beneath them, Liam's decision hurt their pride as a supernatural creature. They were stronger than that to have such an alliance with humans.

"I can't talk to my beta and gamma, because they can't see my point," Liam said, his voice was a little bit sad, which made Eros even more disgusted at his act. "But, you are a human, you must have a different point of view from them," Liam said.

On the other hand, Emily didn't know what to say when she was put in a spot like this. She understood why Liam called her over, because she was the only human in this pack, aside from Jasmine, since both of them didn't talk for a long time, the Luna's opinion couldn't be included.

"We'll leave," Eros said. He was fuming, he didn't want to bow to humans after what he had to endure because of those people. And for the record, he knew what kind of facility that was.

He had been there. He had been their guinea pig for years since he was born and from what he heard, those filthy people killed his parents. They caught his mother and let her give birth to him. She was then killed in one of their experiments.

And now, Liam was asking him to collude with the same people? Bow his head to them? For what? For the benefit of this pack? What a nonsense thing that he blurted out.

"Sit down," Liam said sternly when he saw Eros stand up. He was about to leave the room with Emily following him closely.

Yet, Eros didn't listen to him. He kept walking toward the door, while Emily trembled in fear, she could feel the dominant aura that emanated from the alpha, as he tried to subdue Eros with his alpha's voice.

"SIT DOWN!" Liam barked, he didn't mask his anger anymore, he was furious to say the least.

The alpha's voice boomed inside this room.
