Chapter 149 - THE HEAT (2)

"What?" Liam looked down and found the bracelet. The same bracelet like Zuri was wearing. 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 be destroyed and only could be opened by someone, who held the key of it. Therefore, for them to give him this bracelet and left him without being able to shift into his beast was a humiliation and a form of the utmost disrespect.

"You don't need to worry, we will open the bracelet later." The man wiggling a key in 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 delivered 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 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 her for another hours 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 worst than that…

"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?!" Jasmine roared in anger when she heard the report about what was happening, she was livid beyond words. "HOW CAN YOU LET LOOSE THE PRECIOUS EXPERIMENT?!"

Jasmine grabbed a stack of document 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 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 age woman with blonde hair, which the tips of her hair had been burned slightly, her hands were on 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 hurried. "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 among the smoke and panic men.

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

"The bracelet was found on the north wings of the facilities, at the emergency door in corridor ten," she replied with shaking voice, but when she saw the gun was being put away, she could breathe in relief.

"He can 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 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 Eros was wearing, but now it had been broken into five pieces.

It showed how much power that he held in such tender age and they lost such 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 with the lycan?" Jasmine asked, her voice was so cold when she stared at them one by one, she took time to assess their facial expression, so she would know if they were lying to her face.

"I took the decision to put them in one 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 at around them with warry 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 this 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 running back to the pack house and found Emmet.

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