Untamed: The Alpha

358 YOU ARE DIGGING YOUR OWN GRAVE

Jasmine knew that it was crazy for her to put her life and Darius’ in danger, by provoking Liam. Even so she proceeded to meet with Darius. She was still trying to push his limits, even after knowing he had banned Darius from coming closer to her.

And it had been four days since Jasmine saw him and she kind of missed his company. She missed how he made her feel whenever she was with him.

She realized that it was crazy, but who wouldn’t be when they were in her shoes?

“Do you really want to see him?” one of her guards asked her sternly. He looked at her coldly, as they vaguely knew what was going on between the luna and Darius.

It was only a matter of time before the alpha learned about this infidelity and turned the whole pack upside down.

And yet, this woman was so careless to make it very obvious.

“Do I need your permission?” Jasmine asked him offhandedly, but the guard blocked her way by standing in front of her. “Scram.”

“If you want to kill yourself, go ahead, but don’t drag him down with you. He has a young brother who will get hurt by this issue.” The man looked at her sternly, as if he was trying to subdue her with his dominance.

But, it was Jasmine that he was facing. A woman who became a commander back in her organization and single handedly planned an attack on some smaller packs, was in a battlefield and had hundreds of men under her command, thus he didn’t scare her at all.

.....

“Randy, right?” Jasmine tried to remember this guy’s name, since he would be the one, who was always very vocal in defying her whenever she was doing something that he thought was wrong. “Shut the fuck up. I don’t need your opinion. You can bring that damn advice somewhere else.”

And after saying that, Jasmine simply stepped aside and continued to walk away from him, she hastened her steps because she was angry.

Recently, her emotions were all over the place and she couldn’t control herself from getting mad easily.

She wanted to do dangerous things, anything that could distract her mind. She wanted to do a bunch of crazy Shit just to try and take her mind off of the real problem.

Sometimes, when we were hurt, we wanted to bury our sadness in layers of anger and recklessness, but behind it all was just immeasurable pain.

And that was what Jasmine felt right now.

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

July had not been out of the room ever since their return to the McKeltar manor. She holed herself up inside the bedroom, sitting next to Knox, who apparently had not yet regained his consciousness, even after days had passed.

Ciara said that his healing process was awfully slow, since it was his soul that had been attacked.

July could only think of Chaos, who would be able to do such a thing, because it was not a surprise for her that Knox’s soul belonged to him, but then she doubted herself because; why would he do something like that? Wasn’t it Chaos, who asked Knox to come to meet him?

July was a mess, she was barely sleeping or eating anything.

During this time, Sebastian also didn’t try to approach her, but he would send someone to check on her regularly. Though they didn’t tell her, July was aware enough to know this pattern.

And this time, Sebastian sent Flo, the little girl that July adored so much because she had blue eyes, the same eyes’ color as Knox’s.

And when she saw the five year old little girl, there was finally a small smile on July’s lips, the very smile that had disappeared for days now.

“Seb told me to come see you...” Flo said with her innocent and cute voice. She walked across the room in her floral dress, the one July got for her. “He said you are crying. Why are you crying?” She tilted her head, as she looked at July with her blue eyes.

July laughed lightly at her question. “I am sure Seb told you to not say this to me.”

The little girl was surprised when July mentioned this. Oh, she completely forgot about that. “Yes, I forgot. Don’t tell Seb about it, okay?” she said in a whisper, as if Sebastian was nearby and she was afraid because she had ruined his mission.

“Okay, only if you stay here with me.” In the past, whenever July felt down, Sebastian would send someone to cheer her up if he couldn’t come himself, because he was too busy to deal with all the work that July couldn’t handle.

But right now, he couldn’t come to accompany her because he couldn’t deal with the aftermath of what he had done to her. Their relationship took a big hit after that incident.

“Okay.” Flo agreed readily. She walked across the room and once she reached the bed, she raised both of her arms, asking for July to pick her up.

Easily, July lifted Flo onto the bed, next to Knox, who then crawled on the bed and chose to sit on the other side of him.

“Is he sleeping?” Flo asked curiously. She moved closer to look at Knox’s face, as she blinked her eyes. “Why is he sleeping for so long?”

July had to grit her teeth when she answered that question. “Because he is tired.”

“Tired?” Flo tilted her head to look at July, but then she crawled even closer to Knox and stared at his face for a good five seconds, as if trying to figure out something.

However, July didn’t think much of it and told her that she needed to go to the bathroom, since she didn’t want to cry in front of her.

“Stay here and look after him, okay? I will be right back,” July told her, as she got off the bed and made a beeline for the bathroom, leaving Flo with Knox alone.

Once it was only the two of them, Flo stared at Knox for a long time, in silence. No one knew what was in her mind right now, but the way she stared at Knox did not seem out of an innocent curiosity. The way she stared at Knox looked more mature than her age.

“Knox...” she called his name for a few more times, but then when he didn’t give her any reaction, Flo raised both of her hands and cupped his face between her palms, as she stared at him for a few more seconds.

However, when she did that, something happened to Knox. His breathing became ragged, as if he was suffocated and his face turned paler than before, while the little girl giggled to see what was happening.

Knox breathed heavily and he looked like he was dying right now...

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

Jasmine watched Darius from afar in the training ground, as he trained the new warriors of this pack.

All the shifters in this pack would start their training at the age of thirteen, once they were out of the pack school and now there were around a dozen teenegars in front of Darius, following his instructions.

Beads of sweat covered his body, as he took off his shirt. His eyes were so focused on one boy and then shifted to the other.

Jasmine had never seen him like this. He was always very quiet, but once he slipped into the role of trainer for these boys, he could be very assertive and firm.

Needless to say, Jasmine liked what she was seeing right now. She loved to see his toned skin and how serious his expression was.

Probably, it was his instinct, or maybe it was her scent that was carried by the wind, because finally Darius noticed her presence.

Jasmine was sitting on the bench and had her eyes on him the whole time, so there was a high possibility Darius felt this burning stare behind his back, so he turned around and found Jasmine was there.

Not knowing what to do and what to say, Jasmine raised her hand and waved at him, asking him silently to come to her.

At first, Darius frowned, especially with the other four guards around, who were standing behind Jasmine. The four of them glared at him, as if saying he couldn’t come to her and to continue with whatever he was doing right now.

Yet, Darius was not in the right mind to follow that silent instruction. So, fuck it. He decided to stop the session and strode toward where Jasmine was sitting.

Not only because he wanted to see her as well, but because he could see a few bruises that were still visible on her skin. He was livid to see her being hurt like that, even though he didn’t have any right to feel that way.

Darius talked to one of his trainees before he went to see Jasmine, who seemed surprised that he catered to her wish and approached her, regardless of what people might see.

“You are digging your own grave,” Randy was hissing with hostility when he said this. “And you are bringing him down with you.”

As a fellow warrior, of course, Randy valued Darius more, as they had fought countless battles together. After all, what Jasmine had in mind would only put him in a very dangerous spot.

Yet, Jasmine didn’t give a damn about what he was thinking, as she replied, “Mind burying him and me together?” her tone was very light.
