146 FROZEN LAKE
Alpha Xerxes tilted his head to look at Zuri’s neck. “I should say that I like the mark on your neck. It suits you.”
It took everything in Zuri to not growl at the Alpha, or even charge forward and give him a few marks on his smug face.
The mark on her neck still had not yet shaped out properly, it still looked like Zuri just got into a bee hive and a few bees stung her.
But, whatever it would look like, there was no way she would like the mark. She hated it with everything in her and if she could, she would skin that spot to get rid of it.
Unfortunately, that was not how it worked.
“Thank you,” Zuri managed to squeeze those words out of her lips, though it was short of gratitude whatsoever.
“Great!” Alpha Xerxes clapped his hand. “I know that you will like it.” He guffawed, full of himself to be able to ta this girl. She was his white beast, his trophy, after all.
“So, why did you call us here, father?” Emt asked him, reminding him of the purpose of them being here, because he wanted this eting to end as soon as possible.
“Ah! Right!” Alpha Xerxes clapped his hands, as if he just rembered what this eting was for. “Zuri, I rember that you were close with Chaos.”
.....
Zuri flinched when she heard that na. She didn’t think that she wanted soone to remind her about that or even wanted to hear his na again, or maybe she was not sure how she was supposed to react to that question.
Thankfully, Alpha Xerxes didn’t wait for Zuri to answer that, because he proceeded with his plan.
“I got so important information about him.” He leaned his back against the sofa and looked at Blue closely. “The Hound managed to find his whereabouts.”
Zuri gritted her teeth, she tried to force down the thousand questions that road in her head when she heard that.
“What does that an?” Zuri asked, her voice didn’t sound like her at all. “He is gone. No one knows where he is.”
“Nope.” Alpha Xerxes shook his head. “The Hound found him. He is in the far south, near Kane lake.” That was the biggest lake and it was frozen for years.
“What do you want?” Zuri could feel her stomach lurching uncomfortably, she needed ti to process it all, because Kane lake was near the very city Chaos took her the first ti.
“I want you to go with Emt to retrieve him before The Hound does.” Alpha Xerxes leaned forward, he looked at Zuri with a grin. “With the relationship between the two of you, I am sure it will be easy for you to ta him, right?”
Ta him...
Alpha Xerxes made it sound so easy, as if Chaos was a wild animal. Did he forget who Chaos was?
“What relationship do you an?” Zuri pressed her lips tightly. She hated it when these people assud sothing about her and Chaos.
However, Alpha Xerxes didn’t answer that question, as he talked to himself. “I want to know whether there was any truth to the myth of the abomination creature and the white wolf.”
What myth? Zuri had never heard about it.
======================
River was watching the black lycan, which was prowling around her, baring his teeth. He was scary and the little girl wanted him to stay away from her.
“Don’t co closer,” she sobbed because her hand was still bleeding. “I don’t want to hurt you. Stay away from .”
However, the black lycan didn’t seem to heed that warning, albeit his attempt to fight himself to stay away from her, but his instinct told him otherwise.
His eyes were filled with bloodlust, especially to see the weaker creature before him.
“If you co any closer I will hurt you!” River shouted at him, her lips trembled. She looked around her, trying to find a way to escape from this room and this shifter, but she couldn’t even find a crack.
And yet, no matter how hard she was trying to warn the beast, he lost it to his instinct and pounced onto the little girl.
River watched him approaching and dodged it right in ti, but his claws tore her sleeves and caused another wound on her arm.
“You are so an!” River was crying now. She was not happy at all with all the wounds that he caused her. “If you attack again, I will not be gentle! I have warned you!”
While saying that, River backed away from the creature, putting so distance between them.
“Don’t co closer!”
But, words alone were not enough to stop the lycan from attacking her and when he tried his second attempt, sothing happened to him.
Sothing horrendous that made the two people behind the wall jump to their feet.
“CALL THE TEAM! CODE RED!”
In front of them, the lycan was being burned in red fire, thrashing his body out of pain and agony.
“Damn... how could she do that?” the man mumbled to himself, they had never seen sothing like this before.
“What kind of creature is that girl?” The other man pressed the button and from the sprinkle, water poured down the whole white room, trying to extinguish the fire and yet, it failed. “The fire is still burning the lycan...”
“We found another precious creature...”
=======================
The lake was so wide, it almost looked like a part of the ocean, though it was frozen all over.
The ice was so thick, so it was safe enough for them to walk over it, but Archie didn’t really like their progress. It was too slow and he wanted to see the results soon. He wanted to see the most dangerous creature in this realm. Chaos.
The creature suddenly disappeared eight years ago and had never been spotted ever since.
He wondered what possibly could have happened until he was trapped beneath this frozen lake...
