Untamed: The Alpha

206 ARE WE GOING OR NOT?!

“Congratulations! I told you that you will bring Chaos to this realm.” Hades smirked when Zuri shot him a deadly glare. “How are you feeling now?”

“I thought Chaos had killed you.” Zuri knew that wouldn’t be true, because there was no way Hades would die, since he was the god of the underworld, but to think he was, it entertained Zuri a little bit.

“Your joke is not funny at all,” Hades pouted his lips and Zuri felt the urge to throw him out of the car, if she could manage to push this creature, whose body was twice her size.

In front of them, the chaos because of the power outage was worse than Zuri could imagine. People, driven by their greed, started to ransack all the small shops or electronic stores, or anything that held any value.

Meanwhile, the police were nowhere to be seen, while from a distance, people were screaming at the top of their lungs about the oncoming onslaught that came in their direction.

Zuri was no longer able to drive her car, since there were a lot of cars that had been burned in the middle of the street and people that ran around to find shelter.

“Shit!” Zuri cursed under her breath when she realized that she needed to get out of the car. She could only proceed forward by walking to get to where Chaos was.

Without thinking twice, Zuri turned off the car’s engine and then got off from there, as she looked around her.

“Do you think you can find him?” Hades suddenly appeared beside her, he looked around his surroundings and then nodded slowly, as if approving what was happening now. He did not even think that what was happening right now was something that needed his concern.

.....

On the other hand, Zuri didn’t even hear what he said and then started running in the direction where people avoided the most, with Hades running hot on her tail.

Zuri really wanted to kick his ass for doing that, since she was not able to outrun him.

However, all of a sudden, Hades grabbed her hand and pulled her toward a narrow alley. It went without saying that Zuri immediately swatted his hand away, since she felt this repulsion, she felt disgusted to be touched by him.

“Hands off!” Zuri growled, but she couldn’t stop running in the direction that Hades forced her.

“You should thank me, young lady,” Hades said, as he released her hand and then smirked triumphantly, while nodding at the other end of the alley, where they were coming from.

There, on the main street, there were around hundreds of shifters, running rampant, killing all the people that they met, as if they were on a hunt and those humans were their targets.

It was a killing spree for the supernatural creatures, since they could stop hiding and pretending like they did not exist in this realm.

This was the first time for them to be able to run free in the middle of the city in their beast form, without being afraid of anything else, since they were the hunters now.

Zuri watched how a brown colored wolf tore apart a young girl around the age of ten, as the beast snatched her from her mother and then the other beast ended up killing her mother, who was screaming frantically having to witness such brutalism.

Probably, the screaming from that woman would forever be engraved in Zuri’s mind. It is filled with hopelessness and horror.

“Can you see how messed up this realm is now?” Hades said lightly, as if this was not an important matter to him. “I have warned you.” He shrugged his shoulders.

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

“The situation ahead of us is so bad,” Sebastian said in a stressful voice, as he talked to Knox, who was standing beside him.

On the other hand, Knox didn’t know that the situation had escalated from worse to even more dreadful. People died on the streets, without anyone caring enough to check on them, as the rest of the citizens, who were able to run, would run as far as they could from this hell.

While around them, there were vampires and other supernatural creatures that apparently were really interested to join this catastrophic situation.

This was worse than what Knox could imagine. How could the situation turn out like this? As if all hell had broken loose at the exact same time.

“What is the situation in the McKeltar manor?” Knox asked Sebastian and then glanced at the car, inside which July was sitting impatiently.

Both of them had a little fight before when July insisted that she wanted to go along with Knox and Sebastian, also the others to find Chaos, but of course, Knox’s overprotective instinct made him tell her not to come.

He wouldn’t be able to think clearly if he knew July was close to danger and this place, by all means, was the most dangerous area right now.

However, just like every other time, July would always find a way to get what she wanted, therefore here they were.

But, for now, Knox wouldn’t budge about letting July out of the car into this dreadful scene, where all the supernatural creatures could jump from their hiding place and ambush them.

For now, she obliged, but Knox doubted it would last for long, since he knew her very well. She was fierce and during the eight years they didn’t see each other, she had honed her brutal side as well, based on what Sebastian had reported to him.

“The McKeltar manor is safe, Anne had been shifted to the other place and there were several shifters on our side that guard the manor along with our men,” Sebastian reported back to Knox after he put down the phone.

Knox was thinking of sending July to where Anne was taken. But then, July came out of the car. Seems like her patience ran out.

“Are we going or not?!”
