Chapter 317

Name:Untamed: The Alpha Author:
317 SEA OF FIRE

The more Nikolai looked at his sister, the more he found it hard to understand her. She was not like this when they were little. They barely kept any secrets from each other, as they would talk about everything. Nikolai could answer every single question related to Vanesha and he would get them right.

But now, he seemed to see a different person. Someone that he completely didn’t recognize. There was so much mystery surrounding her and her true intention was something that needed extra efforts from Nikolai to figure out, not that he could fathom it, since she was being exceptionally secretive and cautious.

Not to mention the last report that he got, which showed Vanesha had been seeing someone secretly, from the looks of it, it was pretty sure the two of them were exchanging information, but Nikolai couldn’t say for sure.

He needed more time to investigate it further, yet this situation came and he couldn’t go anywhere with his investigation now.

“You will go there.” Nikolai stated. Vanesha was needed to assist one of the experimental objects that they would use to fight the dragon. “Why can’t I go there?”

If she was very concerned that he couldn’t return, then she had to be worried about herself first, since there was a high possibility she wouldn’t be able to return either.

On the other hand, Vanesha struggled to answer this question. “Do you know who the girl that was being used as the experimental object by the organization was?” She bit her lips. She felt uneasy to tell him about this.

Meanwhile, Nikolai didn’t have any idea about that. “What about it?” he narrowed his eyes.

“She is River. Gael and Lise’s daughter,” Vanesha said. Her eyes fixed on her brother because she wanted to see how he would respond to this information.

.....

For two full seconds, Nikolai just stared at Vanesha, looking for any validity before he grabbed Vanesha’s shoulder.

“How long have you known about this?” Nikolai asked her. His voice was so low, as someone walked past them.

“Since I joined the organization,” Vanesha replied shortly. “This is a war that you don’t want to be part of.”

There was a deep furrow between his brows when he looked at his sister. “What about you?” he asked her. “It is not fine for me to be a part of it, but it is fine for you?”

Nikolai remembered Gael and even though their encounter was very short, it left a deep impression in his memory.

“I already set my foot too deep into it, I can’t go back now.”

Receiving such information made Nikolai slightly dizzy, he was not sure where he was standing right now, especially since his sister had been on a different side all along. How could she manage that? How could she end up in this situation?

However, before this conversation could go on, the ten minutes that they had were up, all the members of Delta walked out of the door and waited for his command, as Nikolai was their leader for this mission.

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

“I need to talk with you.” Sebastian approached July, who was watching all the supernatural creatures under their care training in a vast field.

Currently, there are nearly three thousand supernatural creatures under the Mckeltar protection. They literally built a fortress around this place to protect themselves and the witches helped them by strengthening the protection with their spells.

There were a few shifters, vampires and also a few witches in the lot, while some of them couldn’t be classified.

The sun had just appeared in the horizon and its light was still warm, illuminating every dark corner of this area, as the chilly wind from the night before felt so good, caressing their skin.

“What is it?” July asked, she looked at Sebastian and immediately knew this was not good news for them. “Bad news?”

“Yes. Really bad.” Sebastian then told her about what was happening in East Draghar and the dragon, apparently, Chaos was also spotted there.

“Chaos is there?” July looked at him in horror. If Chaos was there, it meant Knox was there as well. And what did he say? A dragon? A fucking dragon? She had never heard anything about a dragon and always thought that kind of creature did not exist, though all the beliefs about the other creatures were proven otherwise. “What about Knox?”

Sebastian shook his head. “I can’t get a hold of him.”

At that, July rushed back to the manor, leaving Sebastian alone there. Somehow, seeing how much that woman worried about Knox, his heart felt twisted.

It was wrong, he knew that, yet he couldn’t help it.

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

It was hard to look for Chaos in this mess, which made Zuri have to try very hard to go against a stream of people, who were screaming and crying, as they tried to get away from the flames that burned the city.

The fire was not a joke, it turned the morning sky into a fucking furnace, lashing the clouds with its angry orange flames.

Zuri chose to stay in her human form, because she didn’t want to alert the forces that were sent by the government to neutralize the situation, until the reinforcements from the Artzees country came. It must be those organizations that were called The Hound and The Delta.

The very organizations that were built by July’s father and her other siblings.

It was funny to see how the members of the same family could stand on opposite bridges, but then Zuri knew nothing about family, since she had never really had one.

The fire was getting stronger the closer she ran toward it, but she couldn’t break through the line of defense created around this sea of fire.

This was insane, Zuri felt her skin almost melt just by standing here.

“WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING?! BACK AWAY!” One of the soldiers rushed toward Zuri and looked at her up and down before he shoved her away.

Damn it. She really wanted to bite him down for touching her.

Killian’s house was in that fucking direction.
