Untamed: The Alpha
Chapter 149

149 THE HEAT (2)

“What?” Liam looked down and found the bracelet. The same bracelet Zuri was forced to wear. His eyes turned a few shades dark when he saw what they had done to him. “What do you think you are doing?” his voice sounded like a low growl.

The bracelet was hard to destroy and could only be opened by someone, who held the key to it. Therefore, for them to give him this bracelet and leave him unable to shift into his beast was a humiliation and a form of utmost disrespect.

“You don’t need to worry, we will remove the bracelet later.” The man wiggled a key on his finger right in front of Liam, taunting him. “Now, let’s go back to your room and stay there until tomorrow, there will be someone who delivers food for you.”

Liam knew what it was.

They didn’t allow him to go and see Zuri, they didn’t want him to ruin whatever plan that they had for her. And that exact plan was the thing that bothered him the most.

“Now, let’s go back to your bedroom and stop staring,” the man said again, he nudged his shoulder, prodding him to walk with them.

The situation was worse than Liam imagined.

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

River writhed in pain when she opened her eyes, she kept asking for her mommy, but no one there would let her see her. She cried and asked for another hour before she was too exhausted and then fell asleep.

.....

She remembered the black beast had attacked her and left her with a few serious injuries before she set everything on fire.

She destroyed the area where they held the lycan, but not only that, she had done something worse than that...

“HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?!” Jasmine roared in anger when she heard the report on what had transpired, she was livid beyond words. “HOW CAN YOU LET SUCH PRECIOUS EXPERIMENTAL SUBJECT ESCAPE?!”

Jasmine grabbed a stack of documents from her table and threw it at the two people in front of her. She was seeing red now when she took a gun from under her table and pointed it at them in turn.

“Tell me, who is responsible for this!” She gritted her teeth when she spoke. “Esme, tell me what happened.”

The sound of her voice was so cold when she pointed the gun at a middle aged woman with blonde hair, the tips of her hair had been burned slightly, her hands were In bandages because she was trying to help when the fire was started.

“That’s...” Esme stammered, she glanced at her partner a few times before she talked in a hurry. “The girl set the place on fire when we forced Eros to shift.”

They needed to call a few people to extinguish the fire and in the crowd of people, that was the time when Eros slipped between them and disappeared under the smoke, past the panicked personnel.

“What about the bracelet?” Jasmine put down the gun, she was not someone who exercised a lot of patience, therefore if her opponent was starting to make it difficult for her to get any information, it was easier for her to resolve it with violence.

“The bracelet was found in the north wing of the facilities, at the emergency door in corridor ten,” she replied in a shaking voice, but when she saw the gun was being put away, she silently breathed in relief.

“Can he destroy the bracelet?” Jasmine furrowed her brows, she didn’t think that there was any beast that could break such metal.

The bracelet that Eros was wearing, was the bracelet to control his power and moreover it was a tracker.

Thus, if he didn’t wear his bracelet, it would be hard for them to track him down, it could be said that it was almost impossible to do that...

“Yes, Ms. Williams, this is his bracelet.” Esme took something from her pocket and walked closer to Jasmine, as she put something on the table.

It was indeed the bracelet that they made Eros wear, but now it had been broken into five pieces.

It showed how much power that he held in such a tender age and they lost such a valuable asset. This was not right. Her father would look at her as a failure for not being able to keep their most precious asset.

“Who put her in the same room as the lycan?” Jasmine asked, her voice was so cold when she stared at them one by one, she took time to assess their facial expressions, so she would know if they were lying to her face.

“I took the decision to put them in the same room, because...” the woman beside Esme didn’t have time to finish her words when Jasmine put a bullet between her eyes. She dropped to the floor and Esme started crying and screaming.

“Ask someone to clean this up,” Jasmine said simply, as she walked out of the door. She needed to gather all of her people to start looking for that damn lycan.

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

“Just a little bit more,” Adel said to Zuri, who was panting behind her. She looked around them with wary eyes, as if trying to see whether they were being followed or not. “Just there, you can see the hut.” She pointed at a rickety hut in the middle of these dense trees.

This place was far away from the pack house and Adel thought it would be the best idea to take Zuri here to spend the night, waiting for the heat to pass.

Zuri tried to raise her head, but it was very difficult for her to do so, she felt her whole body was burning, her legs buckled a few times and all she wanted was to run back to the pack house and replace Emmet.

However, she knew that strange desire was not hers. Her sane mind wouldn’t want that.
