Untamed: The Alpha

327 RIVER’S POWER

When one of them tried to stop River from approaching Vanesha, by shooting a bullet near her leg, she glared at that man and roared viciously. “GO DIE!”

All of them took two steps back and were on high alert as to what would happen next. They expected there would be a blaze of fire, but what happened was quite the opposite.

There was no fire or whatsoever all over the place like they had anticipated, but the man, who tried to scare River earlier, fell to the ground with a soft thud and burnt skin. He looked like he had been burnt from the inside.

Of course, this left all of them shocked, since they had never seen this kind of power and the way River showed her power was big news for them, except for Sol, since Vanesha would update him with every progress that River made.

“We need to call back up,” Sol said to Adrik, who immediately called for help through the transmitter in his hand. Their assignment was to capture Vanesha, not to agitate their experimental object.

On the other hand, River walked toward Vanesha and knelt down beside her, as she cried silently. “You are bleeding...”

“River, look at me,” Vanesha said with a stern voice. She pinched her chin gently, so she would look her in the eyes. “Can you create a perimeter? So, these people will stay away from us until your father comes to pick us up?”

“My father?” River repeated her words. She blinked at her, since she had never seen her father before. “But, I want my mother...” she said quietly, looking sad because she missed her mother so much. She didn’t know her father, never saw him and had no desire to see him.

“Yes, but your mother is with your father. He will bring you to her, okay? He will help you to see her.” Vanesha tried to talk calmly to her, despite the pain in her leg.

.....

However, in the middle of that conversation, there was one soldier who opened fire at River, though it was not a bullet, but more like a needle filled with a sedative that would calm her down.

Yet, before it could touch her, the small syringe stopped midair, just an inch from her and exploded into bright flames and then turned into dust.

River lifted her head and looked at the man that had made an attempt to shoot her, then he ended up the same way as the first man.

In the past, when they still confined her inside her special room, no one would dare to enter without injecting her first with a sedative, except Vanesha, because she would never hurt her.

It was an understatement to say that she became stronger as years passed, she was more than that and could do more.

It was only Vanesha and Sol, who knew about this, as the two of them had driven her to her limit and witnessed what this girl could do. This was the reason why the lab was destroyed and Sol got into a very big trouble that resulted in him being kicked out of River’s experimental activities.

“River, put them away from us,” Vanesha reminded River. She didn’t want her to kill those men, because she didn’t want her to accidentally kill Sol. Despite everything that happened here, she still didn’t want him to get hurt. This was not her plan.

River glanced at Vanesha, but at the same time, there were five more small syringes that aimed at her. They didn’t learn from the other two soldiers’ mistakes apparently, since none of them could manage to touch River at all and they ended up dead in the most miserable way.

“River.” Vanesha glanced at Sol, as if telling him to back off. He knew what would happen to him if he tried.

In the end, River looked around her surroundings and then raised her hands. This was the first time for her to use her power. To release it without any restrictions. She felt free when she breathed the fresh air of the evening wind, as dawn fell rapidly.

When River unleashed her power, the ground beneath them shook violently, as if there was a monster that had been awaken, but it did not end there, because in the next second, the ground split open and lava gushed out to the surface, surrounded River and Vanesha, forcing the soldiers to step back if they wanted to live.

The lava that came out of the split ground hissed as it burned everything that it touched and spread slowly in this area, creating a large distance between River and Vanesha and the other soldiers, even the backup teams didn’t have any idea what they should do about this.

No one had ever seen something like this before. River was stronger than they thought, because they always suppressed her, they were blind to what they were really dealing with right now.

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

“There, your man,” Hades said, as he nodded at Chaos’ back, where Zuri could see how his large, dark wings had folded into his back again. “Like you wanted, I took you straight to him.”

Hades crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking so proud of himself.

“What do you want to do now? My suggestion is... don’t go closer... to him... okay, she doesn’t listen at all.” Hades clicked his tongue because Zuri had done exactly what he said not to even before he could finish his sentence. “I will keep your soul with me if you die!” he shouted at Zuri’s back.

Zuri turned around and snapped at him. “FINE! I will annoy you for the rest of your eternity!”

Hades laughed at that. “Sounds interesting enough for me,” he mumbled. He liked her because she was Chaos’ favorite, but he thought he wouldn’t mind pissing Chaos off just by keeping her for himself.

Meanwhile, Zuri rushed straight to Chaos, as the man sensed her presence and turned around.
