Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 479 - 479 DO IT NOW!



479 DO IT NOW!

Zuri woke up and couldn’t find Chaos beside her, it was still dark outside and it seemed she didn’t sleep that long.

She stretched her body and touched the warm spot, where Chaos was, which indicating he just left not so long, probably because of that Zuri was woken up. His scent still lingered on the pillow that he used and this calmed her down.

Zuri pulled the pillow and buried her face against it, as she breathed in his scent, she wanted him to be here with her again and held her for the rest of the night, but he left…

Where did he go? She didn’t want to be left alone without him at this moment.

Probably, she was just being clingy right now, but she couldn’t help it, her mind was a mess and she needed him to ease her anxiety.

With that thought, she took a long breath of his scent from the pillow and then got off the bed. She took her dress on the floor and then straightened her messy hair for a while when she walked passed the mirror.

Zuri frowned when she tugged her white hair and clicked her tongue when she combed her fingers through the tangles.

After she looked a little bit presentable, she walked out of the bedroom toward Knox’s room. She was sure, if there was someone, who knew where Chaos was, it would be Knox or Gael.

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

.....

[Tell me what is it about?] Eros mind linked Colton, something that he rarely did because he didn’t really like to hold a conversation if it was not necessary, thus there was nothing that he needed to talk about in secret.

Eros glanced at Colton, but the gamma pretended that he heard nothing and this only raised Eros’s suspicious that there was something going on. Something that Colton couldn’t say and let them know.

He grabbed Emily’s hand tightly and became more alert to his surroundings, for a moment his encounter with Zuri was forgotten. There was someone that he needed to protect. Someone that he couldn’t afford to lose.

Feeling the tension from Eros, Emily crept closer to him, even she herself could feel that something was wrong, though she couldn’t say what it was.

She squeezed Eros’s hand and he squeezed hers back to reassure her. This was their habit whenever they couldn’t talk to each other.

On the other hand, Vanesha and Colton were walking ahead of them and they didn’t utter a single word, they kept this silence between them.

There was something going on for sure.

For now, they were heading to the third floor of this bar, where the loud music, which indicating the peak hours had started on the first floor, but here, it was rather quiet, probably because there was a soundproof around this floor.

“I am here with our partner,” Vanesha said to a man, who was standing right in front of a door, he scrutinized them briefly and then nodded, after that, he opened the door for Vanesha and the rest of them.

This room was not big, but it was sufficient to hold a meeting with eight to ten people. Right in the middle of the room, there was a long table with eight chairs surrounded it, where there was two people, who had been waiting for them. They stood up from their seat and nodded at them curtly, as a greeting.

“There is no shifter here,” Eros said. He could tell right away because the two men were human.

Meanwhile, the man that was standing at the door walked into the room as well after Josh, who was walking behind them all.

“Where is the shifter?” Eros directed this question toward Colton, his instinct told him there would be no shifter that would come into this room.

There were three shifters here and his guessed…

“What are you doing!?” Josh snapped at the man, who was guarding the door earlier, as he raised his hand and frowned at the bracelet that he put on his wrist when he didn’t notice it. “What is this?” Josh looked at the bracelet and then realized what it was.

This was the bracelet that would stop a shifter from shifting to their beast, this item would be used by the member of the Hound, they used this when they attacked their pack before.

“What do you mean with this?” Josh felt something bad would happen to him, so did Eros.

“Is this you and Liam’s plan?” Eros eyed Colton, he put Emily behind him, though the danger was not directed at her, since she was a human, but the fact that Liam had a cooperation with the Hound was astounding.

Didn’t he hate them? He held Jasmine as a captive for years in form of revenge, since she was the daughter of their leader, but what was this?

Eros directed his attention toward Vanesha and the two men that had been waiting for them in this room.

No way…

He recognized one of the men. He was Sol, Jasmine’s younger brother, who led the Hound right now, but why they had a cooperation with them?

This must be a secret project that Liam did with Colton, something that he didn’t care about, since he tried to have less interaction with the alpha, even though he was his beta.

“You don’t need to worry,” Sol said, as he walked closer to Josh, for a moment, he glanced toward Eros, fully aware that he was their experimental object that had escaped from their facility years ago, since there were not many lycan in this world. “You can relax.”

“Relax!?” Josh snapped at him. He roared in anger, as he tried to attack the man, if he could, he would have shifted into his beast, but the bracelet prevented him from doing so. “What do you mean with relax?! You want me to be your guinea pig!? Colton, will you not do anything about it?!”

Josh was riled up to see his condition, but then he realized the moment he saw the gamma didn’t do anything that he had planned all of this since the very beginning.

That was why, there was no explanation when they went away from the pack, the fact that he didn’t need to pack anything and only need to come along…

Of course, it was because he was needed for this experiment.

“You…. you tricked me…” Josh said in disbelieved, he glared at the gamma. “How could you do this to me? I respect you… but, do you want me to die?”

No. Colton didn’t want to do this. This was not in his nature to hurt people, but at the same time, he couldn’t find in him to disobey the alpha’s direct order. He was the only one who knew about this corporation aside from Ariana and even when the two of them against it, there was nothing that they could do to make the alpha changed his mind.

“This is not that dangerous. Ariana had made sure this will not take your life.” Colton’s voice was not convincing. “The rate of this to fail is very low.”

Josh raised his brows, as if someone had just slapped him so hard. “Are you mean, if this fail, I will die, but if this succeed I will lose my ability to shift into my beast?” Josh laughed menacingly. “And do you want me to relax? What kind of logic is that?”

As a shifter, what kind of life when you couldn’t shift into your beast anymore?

“If you want to try this, why don’t you try it yourself!?” Josh spatted, he was riled up, anger was written all over his face, as he glared at Colton and then Eros. “Do you know about this?” he narrowed his eyes at Eros and Emily. “Do you know that you take me along for this purpose?”

Emily shook her head, she was hiding behind Eros, as she was afraid of the way Josh was screaming at them. He looked like someone, who would kill anyone around him right now.

This was a great deal for him. Not only the possibility of losing his life and his beast, but also the feeling of betrayal from people that he trusted.

He thought, they were on the same boat, but Colton easily tossed him aside and let him dealt with this, even without saying anything.

“No, I don’t know…” Emily replied softly. “We don’t know…” she shook her head.

Josh believed her, because he could see how shock both of them, so it was only Colton. He was the only person that knew and the fact that the alpha gave the order to him couldn’t deny this.

“Damn you, Colton!” Josh charged toward Colton, while Eros didn’t want to deal with him and simply stepped aside with Emily closed to him, he didn’t have any intention to stop Josh or help the gamma, since it was not necessary.

“Stop this,” Sol said, he intervened, as he stepped in and with a swift movement, he tackled Colton down to the floor, he held one of his arms behind his back, while his other hand pressed his head against the cold floor.

If Josh could shift into his beast, Sol would have died by now, but since his ability as a shifter was being locked, he was a mere human.

“Do it now,” Sol said, as he directed his attention toward Emily, who was standing behind Eros.
