Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 183

183 WILD FLAMES

Jasmine smirked triumphantly as she watched her twin sister who was now under her mercy. Her wrists were bound together with a pair of handcuffs, but she had to admit that her expression had slightly spoiled her joyful moment.

July didn’t look in distress or as if she was in panic, but instead, her expression looked so bored, as if she was trapped in this car with the person that she didn’t like the most.

“I will not go easy on you,” Jasmine scowled at her and wanted to see how she would respond to that, but the only reply that she got was a small ‘hm’ from her, as if she didn’t even bother to reply to her. “You don’t need to pretend that you aren’t scared at all, both of us know that this will be the beginning of your nightmare.”

“Hm.” That was the only reply that she offered to her, riling up twin sister.

Jasmine was trying to annoy her, but little did she know that in showbiz, while she was an actress, she had met a lot of people that had way more creative ideas and words to annoy her, thus what she said was nothing compared to the things that she had gone through.

Jasmine would have killed a few people if she was in her industry back in the day.

“You will beg me.” Jasmine gritted her teeth and when there was no reply from July again, as if the scenery outside, which only showed a long road covered with snow, was way more interesting. Her patience ran thin. She grabbed her face and forcefully made July look at her. “You will suffer and I will guarantee that.”

Only when she heard that, did July chuckle a little. “From what I see, it seems you are the one, who is suffering to get my attention, little sister.” July winked at her and she got a harsh slap.

However, before things went south for both of them, they could hear a loud explosion sound from the direction of the frozen lake. Something had happened there, since it sounded like a thunderous landslide.

.....

“What is that?” The man, who was driving the car, stepped on the brakes when they heard that.

Jasmine jumped out of the car, along with that man to have a clear look at the site, which was quite a distance away from them. But, from their place, there was nothing that they could see.

“What happened there?” Jasmine contacted one of her men on the site.

Meanwhile, inside the car, July narrowed her eyes at the direction of the frozen lake, while she was trying to pick on the lock, without even seeing it. Sebastian had done a great job teaching her these kinds of things.

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

Zuri could feel the heat on her face when she watched the uproar that unfolded before her eyes.

The ice on the surface of the frozen lake cracked and melted, as the temperature around the lake got higher by every second that passed. Zuri could feel the snow beneath her body start liquefying and sweat formed on her forehead.

What was happening?

She wanted to push herself from the dirty and moist ground, but her body was in so much pain that she couldn’t move.

“Take her with us. We are leaving now,” Liam ordered Damon, but then the beta’s movements stopped when all Archie’s people surrounded them.

“You will not take her anywhere without my permission.” Archie glared at Liam, as the alpha was greatly outnumbered and at a disadvantage if he insisted with his initial plan. “She stays with me.”

“Your plan will fail,” Liam threw the fact in his face, but Archie didn’t budge. “You will die if you keep going with your damn ego.”

“This will work and your pack will be the first that learns the true power.”

All the five shifters behind Liam growled in warning when they heard his words, but the alpha alone looked composed; he didn’t budge or show any emotions on his expression.

“You will not have that chance if you die,” Liam said lightly, but there was an edge of warning to his voice.

At the same time, there was a blinding light from the lake, that was no longer covered with ice, something bright in yellow and red color came from beneath it and as it was getting closer to the surface, they could guess what it was, though they didn’t think it was possible to happen.

It was a flame. An immense flame that was enough to light up the night sky and turn the night into day.

All of them tried to cover their eyes when the flames reached the surface and the fire burned everything in its wake.

“Back away! Back off! The fire is burning the machine!” all the men shouted to one another, and clamor erupted among them.

“Back off!”

“Move!”

All of them no longer cared about anything, since the only thing in their mind was how to save themselves from this bizarre turn of events.

Screams and shrieks filled the air when the flames licked their bodies and turned them into dust. Seeing this, of course the other people no longer wanted to stay in the same place, there was no order that could reach them when their survival instinct kicked in.

“Don’t run! Go to the machine idiots! Turn on the machine!” Archie roared at every person that ran past him, but no one heeded his order.

“You will die if you don’t run, Mr. Williams,” Liam said calmly, as he gestured to the members of his pack to back off.

However, when Liam looked for Zuri, she was no longer there. She had gone.

“Where is she?” he asked Damon grimly, but the beta seemed as lost as him.

“She was here just now,” Damon said. He was distracted by what was happening, so he no longer paid attention to that girl. All of them no longer paid attention to anything except to those wild flames.
