Untamed: The Alpha - Chapter 191

Lise looked around her gingerly, she tried to not being spotted by the cameras there or people that roamed this facility.

She didn’t know how long Sol had held her here, but Lise learned to gain his trust and made him slack off, so she could get away from her room.

Lise didn’t mean to get out from this place, since she knew it was impossible. There was no way she could go through dozen doors, which required different passcode.

However, at least Lise could find a phone for her to call July, informed her that she was in one of her father’s facilities. She would be able to find her, or she could find River.

She wanted to see her daughter, to make sure that she was all right, she didn’t trust what Sol had said that River was taken care just fine.

How could she trust that empty words when he refused her plea to see her own daughter?

Lise couldn’t stand it. Her instinct told her something happened to her daughter and they had experimented on her. The thought of it alone made her very sick.

One day, Lise saw this phone that one of the scientists used to make a call, thus here she was right now, punching the button with shaking hand, trying to get through July’s phone.

She almost cried when her first call didn’t get through and then tried for the second time.

“Who is this?” Finally, July’s callous voice grazed her ears and this made July cry because of relief. “Lise?” she asked.

“Yes, it is me,” Lise replied, she wiped her tears with the back of her hand roughly. This was not time for this. She needed to talk to her quickly before they found out she was here. “July, please… help me…”

“Lise? What happened? Where are you?”

However, there was sudden noise from July’s end and this made Lise’s heart dropped. She needed to talk to her right now, every second was important for her.

But then, the next voice that she heard made her heart almost stopped beating.

“Love, it’s me. Where are you?”

Lise recognized his voice, even though it had been eight years since the last time she heard it. Her whole body was trembling and she broke down into tears, as she fell to the ground, clutching her aching heart.

“Gael…” she whispered his name between her tears.

“Yes, it’s me…” Gael’s voice was hard, he was on edge to hear her crying like this. “Where are you?”

“They took her, Gael… they took River.” Tears streamed down her cheeks. “They took our daughter…”

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

“Who did that to you?” Chaos asked and this question has caught Zuri out of guard, she almost dropped the spoon that she was holding.

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” Zuri took a comfort with the fact that Chaos couldn’t see her expression right now.

But then, she couldn’t hide anything from him, not when her voice was so shaken up like now and the creature before her could pick the slightest difference from around him, especially when it came from her.

“I am blind, not dumb,” Chaos stated.

Zuri’s breathing became ragged when she realized that Chaos was aware about her changes, though he didn’t know the detail of it, but she was not in the state that she wanted to talk about this.

“I am angry because you left me,” Zuri blurted out. That was not completely wrong, she indeed felt that way some time.

“Lie.”

That was a simple statement that came from his lips, but for some reason, Zuri felt as if Chaos could see right through her.

“You left me, Chaos,” Zuri emphasized her words. “You left me to Knox and he left me to my uncle.” And then her uncle left her to that shitty pack. But the last words remained unspoken.

Chaos scoffed. “Your lie left a bitter taste in my mouth.” That was so harsh and Chaos had never spoken to her like that before, so what he said astounded her. “You keep lying to me, Blue.”

“You don’t have any right to judge me,” Zuri said through gritted teeth.

“Your reason doesn’t explain why you disgusted when I touch you.”

“I don’t.”

And once the words left her lips, Chaos grabbed her wrist like that night and this made Zuri stood up from her seat. The sound of the bowls and plates on the tray fell to the floor was defeaning, some of the plate and glass broke into pieces and this hurt her feet, as the smell of blood filled the room.

Since the two of them were not ordinary creature, the metallic smell was so profound.

“Let me go,” Zuri said through her gritted teeth. Her whole body was trembling and she had to fight the urge to claw him again so he would loosen his grip on her wrist.

“Don’t do that.” Chaos tilted his head, so his black eyes could stare at her.

Zuri knew that he couldn’t see her, but the feeling that she had right now, telling her otherwise. She wanted to avert his gaze and avoid him.

“Do what?” Zuri asked him, her voice was shaking and barely a whisper.

“Act like I will hurt you.”

Zuri felt her chest caved in and if she stayed like this longer, she wouldn’t be able to stand it.

“You can make it easy for both of us.”

“What do you mean?”

“You can either tell me who had done this to you, or I can turn everything into ashes until I find out who did this.”

Zuri’s hazel eyes opened wide, she remembered how Chaos had ceased those people on the frozen lake into ashes.

“No, you don’t.”

Zuri wriggled her hand again, struggling to get herself free from him, and this time Chaos let her go. She ran toward the door without even looking back at all.
