Untamed: The Alpha

In a swift move, Sol tackled Josh 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 only it was not for the bracelet in his wrist and Josh could shift into his beast, which locked his ability to shift into his beast, he would have killed Sol in a single strike.

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

Sol didn’t remember it clearly, because it was a project that the Hound did long time ago, before he actively joined the organization, but he was sure that this lycan was the same lycan that managed to run away years ago.

He still had all the report about this young lycan on his cabinet. He was classified as an S rank of supernatural creature, which was a very dangerous kind.

It seemed, Sol needed to take a look of it later.

“What are you waiting for?” Sol frowned because Emily didn’t do anything and tremble like a little child. That’s why he hated it when Alpha Liam sent this girl to be in this meeting, instead of Ariana, the person, whom they were in frequent contact with.

Emily was too young and was not tactful enough in this kind of situation. She didn’t have a quick response.

.....

“Emily,” Colton called her, he approached the young girl and gave her a reassuring smile, which didn’t help at all for her situation right now. “You need to do it.”

“Why don’t you tell me about it?” Emily looked at Colton in disbelieve. “Why don’t you tell us about this arrangement?”

Emily clutched onto Eros’s shirt, she was trembling. She hated Josh for what he had done in the past, but for her to be the one, who injected the serum, it was too much, especially when she knew the consequences of it, whether it succeeded or not, the outcome was something that a shifter wouldn’t be able to go through.

“Emily… please… don’t…” Josh implored, he was struggling under the weight of Sol’s body, terrified, because he had never been in such helpless situation when he couldn’t fight a human like right now. “Don’t do this to me…”

Emily looked at Josh, she couldn’t bring herself to do it to someone that she knew.

But, Colton pinched her chin and coaxed her to look at him instead, while Eros didn’t do or say anything, he was still trying to gauge the situation and helping Josh was out of an option right now.

“Emily.” Colton made her to look at him. “Do your job, or we can’t go back home.”

“But…” Emily tried to glance Josh, who was still trying to retaliate from Sol. Anyone could inject the serum, but it was her, who knew the dosage of it, since the balance of the two serum was very crucial, thus she needed to concentrate on that aspect. “What if…”

“Do it. That’s your job.” Colton had never talked this firm to Emily, because both he and Ariana would look at her as their little sister, but apparently, right now was not the right time to take the situation so lightly. “Do it now, so we can go home.”

Emily gulped down, she didn’t want to take this huge responsibility, because she could end up killing Josh or killed his ability as a shifter.

She then looked at Eros, asking for his help, but he didn’t do anything, aside from saying; do it.

There was no way Eros would help Josh, since they were not in a good term and after a moment of contemplation, he didn’t find any benefit to do against the alpha’s wish, which meant, they needed to follow what Colton had told them to do.

“Do it now, Emily,” Eros said it clearer, as he glanced at Josh. There was no sympathy in his eyes for him whatsoever. He didn’t feel bad for his fate. “So, we can return immediately.”

There was another reason for Eros not wanted to spend another hours in this place and went straight to the shadow moon pack, because he didn’t want to see her again.

Hearing that, Emily took the two tubes, which contain with the serum with trembling hands, she didn’t want to do it, but Eros told her to finish this task, so they could go back immediately to the pack. She used to follow his words, thus she didn’t thin this was the right time for her to not follow his instruction like usual.

Gulping so hard, Emily came to Josh and did her job. She mixed the two serums in one injection, when she thought the dosage was right, she injected it to Josh and then walked away from him.

Emily hid behind Eros, as Sol moved away from the shifter after he removed the bracelet from his wrist, it was necessary to make sure the serum was working, though it would put the people inside this room at risk if he started to shift into his beast.

That was why, Eros and Colton were at the ready to hold Josh down, if he was about to lose his control.

However, before their eyes, Josh squirmed, he whimpered and then screamed in agony when his body convulsed.

“What… what happened?” Emily was trembling to watch the sight before her eyes. This was terrifying. She was not able to see this, but she also couldn’t avert her eyes from it.

After all, this was what she had done, she was the one, who had made Josh like that.

On the floor, Josh’s body thrashed, as he rolled on the ground and his bones snapped into weird angle, every time the cracking sound of his bone was heard, he would let out a long howl. He was in a great pain.

This was not the first time for Emily to see a shifter to shift into their beast, but Josh right now didn’t seem like he was going to shift into his beast, he was trying to, but there was something that held him back.

His legs twisted into weird position and then snapped back into human legs before it changed again, the condition repeated a few times, until he stayed in his human’s form, but sharp claws elongated from the tip of his fingers and his face, his jaw contorted and moved slightly, into a muzzle of a wolf.

Though Josh looked like human, but you could see his beast’s side in his appearance right now. He was stuck in his transformation.

“What… what happened?” Emily clutched onto Eros’s jacket, she was on the verge of crying right now.

“He is stuck in his transformation,” Sol said, after he analyzed it. “I think he is still alive. Why don’t you check on him?” He looked at Eros, as he ordered him with his eyes.

Yet, Eros didn’t budge, he didn’t even spare him a glance at all, instead it was Colton, who checked on Josh. He didn’t need another dispute over something so trivial like this.

Colton knelt next to Josh’s body, which had stopped convulsing and then put his fingers against his neck and then checked his pulse.

“He is dead,” Colton declared. Josh’s body was still warm, but there was no sign of his vitals. He had stopped breathing. It seemed the pain that he had to endure was greater than they expected and he couldn’t endure it.

Emily felt her world crumbled in her feet when she heard that. She had seen countless death, but she didn’t think she would ever get use to it.

Yet, here she was, the reason someone else lost their life.

If it was not for Eros, Emily would have fallen to the floor, but he held her and put his arm around her waist to support her body, while the other people were talking about this, yet she tuned herself out of it.

“So, this is a failure?” Vanesha concluded, she moved closer to Sol and look at him.

“No.” Sol shook his head. “He tried to shift, but he couldn’t and now his body stuck in between.” He analyzed the situation, while Colton took off his jacket and used it to cover Josh’s body. “For first attempt, you can say this is a succeed. We just need more research about it.”

Vanesha glanced at Emily, who was burying her face against Eros’s chest.

“Good job, Emily,” she said, but she earned a fierce glare from the young lycan. “You should try to be civil with me, we will have more cooperation like this in the near future.”

Yes, that was right, this wouldn’t end up here…

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

In the end, Josh’s dead body would be taken by Sol, because it was hard for them to take him out of this city, since they had to go through another inspection.

Just because Sol was the head of the organization, didn’t mean he could do whatever in this city and they couldn’t let their cooperation to be known.

“Is she sleeping?” Colton asked Eros, he stared at Emily, who was in his arms, while Eros just nodded and walked ahead of him.

However, Eros’s steps halted when they were walking in the corridor toward their respective bedroom, he remembered this scent…

And before Eros could think what he should do, there she was, the girl with white hair, walking straight toward him.
