Untamed: The Alpha

94 A CHALLENGE

Nikolai had just been there a moment ago and they told him to not tell anyone about this.

But of course, Nikolai wouldn’t let his only friend be in trouble. He knew Blue’s true identity and if they tested her and found out she was a shifter, she would be taken away to their facility and no one knew what they would do to her.

Rumor had it that they were running experiments on the supernatural beings that they managed to catch.

That was another theory why they could create a machine to test whether someone was really a human or they were actually a non- human being.

“You need to leave,” Nikolai whispered to her again in a warning tone before Ms. Sophia pulled him away from Blue and glared at him.

“You should go home Nikolai,” Ms. Sophia said sternly and didn’t budge before she saw the little boy walk away from them with his shoulders drooped. “What did he say to you?” Her tone changed again, it was the normal and gentle tone that she always used when talking to children.

“He said he didn’t want to go home with me and my uncle,” Blue lied smoothly, she looked at Ms. Sophia and smiled genuinely. “Should we go to the principal’s office now?”

“Oh, right...” Ms. Sophia’s grip on her wrist tightened slightly and this didn’t go unnoticed by Blue.

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

.....

July had been busy with her new project for the last two months and the production kept being pushed back because of the news about the appearance of the supernatural creature.

She really didn’t like how everything turned out.

She was raised in a family of hunters and she knew for sure how the battle between humans and the supernatural creatures would end. Not to mention at such a big scale. There would be a lot of, countless victims during that time.

Moreover, it was more likely to be an endless battle between the two parties.

Today, July had a shoot, where she would kiss her co-star on the lips, it was not a real kiss, as it was only a peck.

And Knox knew about this.

This could be said to be the first time July had this kind of scene, since she knew Knox would go crazy if she had a lot of skin contact scenes with her co-star.

Knox would punish her if she dared to do that, even though she was looking forward to being punished by him.

However, because she was upset at him, since he didn’t have time for her, she agreed to shoot this, although after that, she kind of regretted her impulsive decision.

Yet, the shocking part was the fact that Knox appeared at her shooting location.

It was not hard to spot him, since he would draw all the people’s attention around him, whenever he stepped into the room.

He looked tall, handsome and meticulous like usual. All the crew members gasped when he appeared there, standing silently, while staring at July.

It was Knox McKeltar, a member of the McKeltar family that had made a headline not too long ago as he had suddenly adopted a daughter, but the most important part was; what was he doing here?!

July almost choked on her drink when she caught his glare. It was break time and after this they would be filming her kiss scene.

For God’s sake! She wouldn’t want Knox to be there during that awkward scene!

Immediately, she jumped to her feet and rushed toward him with her eyes wide open. She hissed at him viciously. “What are you doing here?”

“Looking for you,” he replied simply and let his woman drag him into her changing room, shooing away all of the people there, ignoring all the questioning looks that they gave her.

“Why?” July asked in frustration. They had agreed that they would keep their relationship a secret. But, with Knox coming here, it was no longer a secret.

“Because apparently my woman wants my attention so badly, until she wants to kiss a poor guy, who is going to die,” he said coldly. His eyes said everything, the hidden anger beneath them to be more precise.

“No. No.” July waved her hands frantically. She knew how bad it was to agitate Knox. It was playing with danger, yet only now did she realize that she had taken things too far. “No one will die today.”

“People die everyday.” Knox tilted his head and stretched out his hand to caress her lips. “This is mine to kiss.” His hand glided down to her slender neck. “Mine to have.”

July could feel her body respond to his touch, enjoying the way he glared at her and showed his dominance, just to make her behave. She knew she would only drive him crazy by letting him know she had a kiss scene today.

“It’s not a kiss.” Her voice trembled when Knox pulled her closer, as her breath became shallow. “It’s only a peck.”

“Lucky guy,” Knox muttered against the soft skin on her jaw. “I will just give him a quick death for doing that.”

July bit her lips in frustration when he brushed his lips against her chin, cheeks, eyes, but refused to give attention to her lips.

“Go out and tell them to change the scene,” Knox growled when July cupped his face between her hands.

July smirked and she loved it when she got under his skin. “What if I refuse? I am a professional after all. Moreover, just as I said, it’s not a kiss, it’s only a peck.”

Knox narrowed his eyes dangerously when he heard that. He knew that July was only testing his patience. She liked to tease him, but this time, she should know there was a price that she couldn’t afford.

“Do it and you will see what I will do,” Knox challenged her and he knew she loved it.

July bit her lips and leaned over to whisper to him. Her warm breath brushed against his neck. “Is this a challenge?”
