Untamed: The Alpha

365 HOW MUCH HE CARED FOR HER

Liam could see Emily holding a bowl of food, while talking to Colton as the gamma shook his head a couple of times, denying her entry because Eros was still unstable, they couldn’t take this high risk and let her enter the room.

What if Eros snapped and he didn’t recognize her?

Yes, they had put the device that the human had invented on him, which could prevent a shifter from shifting to their beast, but even so, Eros was way strong when it came to physical strength. Even in his human form, he would be able to crush this little girl easily.

“Let her go inside,” Liam said, as he approached them. “Open the door and let her go inside.” He smiled softly at Emily and saw a bowl of porridge in her hands that was still piping hot and then nodded, as if he approved what she was doing for the young lycan.

“But,” Colton still wanted to argue that it was not safe for her, yet the alpha insisted and the two guards were not able to deny a direct order from him, thus they had to open the door.

“Make sure he eats properly, okay?” Liam spoke softly to Emily, he also patted her head, as if he was a loving brother.

However, it felt off to Colton. Liam must know the danger that Emily would face if they let her in and the worst scenario that would happen if Eros lost his control again.

“Liam,” Colton called his name. He didn’t use his title when he wanted to talk seriously with him.

The gamma waved his hand at the other two guards, so they could leave both of them alone and they resigned themselves quietly.

.....

“Do you know what you are doing?” Colton asked him, he was frowning because Liam seemed to not worry at all about what could happen to her.

“Believe me, Colton, I know.” He patted his shoulder, as a gesture to calm the gamma down.

Colton was a pacifist, he didn’t like to put himself in trouble, or to get involved in something that he could avoid.

Probably, that was why he could survive under the reign of previous alpha and then Liam, as he chose him as his gamma again, since he knew a lot of things that his father had been doing.

Usually, Colton would let Liam do whatever he wanted, just like how he chose to treat his own Luna, but this time, it was different. Emily was just a little girl, who kept everything to herself the entire time she was in this pack.

She rarely went out of her room and if there was trouble that related to her, it was most likely the other party, who looked for it.

“You have gone too far, Liam.” Colton frowned. He expressed his dissatisfaction at his treatment toward Emily.

However, Liam didn’t take that nicely, though he didn’t raise his voice, but his tone was full of warning. “I am your alpha, remember that.”

He was smiling at his gamma and then proceeded to look at what would happen inside the room from the door that was slightly ajar.

Inside the room, Emily walked carefully to Eros, who had his body curled at the corner of the room with just a blanket over his body.

He was asleep, but there was a furrow between his brows.

Actually, Emily didn’t want to disturb Eros, because he looked exhausted from all that happened this afternoon, but she was worried because Eros had not eaten anything since this morning. The last meal that he had was when they ate breakfast together.

Needless to say, Darius wreaked havoc because of the death of his younger brother. From what she heard, Derek was the only family member that he had.

Though Emily felt sorry that Darius lost his brother, she couldn’t empathize with him, since Derek had been bullying her for years, she even felt bad when she felt relieved that he died. Did that make her a bad person? Being happy because her bully was killed?

“Eros?” Emily shook his body, trying to wake him up. She crouched down on the floor and put the bowl of porridge beside her. “I made porridge for you. You need to eat something.”

There was no response from him, so she called his name a little bit louder.

“Eros? You need to eat.” This room was rather empty and didn’t have much furniture in it, thus it was rather vacant. “Eros...”

In her nth attempt, finally Eros opened his eyes, but they had returned to their normal color, dark blue. He skimmed his surroundings briefly and then fixed his eyes on Emily, who was staring at him with her hazel’s eyes brimming with worry.

“I cooked something for you, you need to eat, okay?” Emily spoke to Eros in a low voice. She was afraid that she would disturb him or something, but he just stared at her, before he finally pushed himself to sit down and then extended his hand to touch her cheek.

“You are crying,” Eros said softly, as he wiped away tears that fell on her cheeks. Emily didn’t know when she started crying, she just realized after Eros mentioned it.

Hearing that, Emily immediately threw herself at him and hugged him very tightly, while he caressed her back to calm her down. This was what he would do whenever Emily was feeling down.

But, behind Emily, Eros could see Liam, who was standing at the door, staring at them through the slightly opened door.

Eros narrowed his eyes, but he could see that little smirk on the corner of his lips before he walked away.

Liam had seen what he needed to see. He had confirmed that Emily was still useful for him where Eros was concerned and he still could benefit from her because of how much Eros cared for her.

Meanwhile, Eros could feel that the alpha was up to no good.
