Chapter 182: AN IMPENDING DOOM

Zuri couldn't comprehend how someone like Liam, who looked nice and all, someone that would always help her in any way possible, though he did it cowardly and rarely stood up for himself and let people judged him as a useless son, turned out to be a manipulative asshole!?

That night… It was all his plan? How could that happen?

Zuri knew how manipulative Alpha Xerxes was, and since Emmet and Liam didn't inherit such traits, she thought none of the two would be worse than the Alpha, but then here Liam was, showing her his true nature and his father looked normal compared to him.

How long he had been harboring such plan? He literally had shown people the character that he wanted people to see him as a gullible person. Something was wrong in his head if he could keep his pretense for so long… when it started?

A lot of questions and possibilities drilled in Zuri's mind.

"FUCK YOU!" Zuri screamed on the top of her lungs and the air shifted around her. The air crackled and there was a loud cracking sound from the frozen lake, as if the ice had just broken.

Was that the explosion that July and the other had placed? But they didn't put any detonator on the frozen lake, moreover, the member of The Hound had taken care of it by now, right?

Hearing that loud sound, all of them were taken by surprised.

Liam squinted his eyes, as his mind and eyes turned sharp when he looked into the distance. He was silence for a while, before he issued an order rapidly.

"Take her and follow me!" he ordered Damon and then shouted to different people near him. "Get me Archie Williams! Everyone moved to the frozen lake!"

Damon easily put Zuri on his shoulder, as he ran toward the frozen lake, following Liam. He didn't know what this young brat had planned, but as far as he could see, this man was not so bad. He knew what he had to do, but more importantly, he was as cunning as his father. He had so much under his sleeves.

"Arrghh!" Damon threw Zuri to the ground hardly, until they could hear the sound of her broken bone.

"What are you doing!?" Liam snapped at him, as he stopped running and watched Zuri writhed on the ground. She was wearing the bracelet that disturbed her beast's blood, rendered her healing ability wouldn't work if she was being hurt.

"She hit me!" Damon groaned, he threw a murderous glare at Zuri.

"Carry her again, I don't want any delay!" Liam roared in annoyance, as he ran again toward the frozen lake, with all the people there, as the cracking sound was getting louder and it spread panic to all of them, since they didn't know what kind of power that they had to deal with.

"Once again you hit me, I will drown you to the frozen lake!" Damon threatened her, while taking Zuri back to his shoulder. "I will break your arms if I have to!"

Zuri felt her body was in so much pain, she was aware that she had broken a few bones and every brusque movement from Damon rattled her body and only added to her agony. She bit her bottom lip, she was breathless when her blood flood to her head in this position.

"Put her down!" Liam ordered Damon. He looked at the cracking ice on the surface of the frozen lake, as if there was a strong force from beneath it. "It is here," he muttered.

Beside Liam, Archie was standing stiffly. "Is he coming now?"

"Yes," Liam said gloomily. "Let's hope that the machine you are proud of really going to work to control this creature."

"It will," he said sternly. "It must."

However, seeing what was happening before their eyes, of course, it was hard to not having a second thought, when doubt crept in their strong believe, that their technology was on pair with this unknown force.

To their horror, the noise was getting even louder and the surface of the lake was no longer covered with ice, as they had cracked and melted.

"The water is warm!" One of the men shouted to inform the other.

Yes, they could feel it, even the air was getting warm now, as one by one they took off their jacket and only wore their shirt.

"Impossible," Archie watched in disbelieve to what unfolded before their eyes. The water on the lake was boiled.

"The water is getting hot! It is forty degrees celcius!" one of them, who was near the lake informed them.

Hearing that, Liam clicked his tongue. "This won't do," he said. "We must to retreat."

"No! It will do!" Archie insisted. He glared at Liam next to him.

"Whatever you have right now, it can't be compared to this power," Liam hissed at him and he could see the greediness in Archie's eyes, in an instant he knew that his ego that was driving him, instead his logic and that was a bad sign for a leader.

Liam had seen the same eyes on his father and it was the beginning of his doom, so did Arhcie and Liam wouldn't come to follow him to his predestination.

"I will retreat," Liam announced.

When you are at war, you should know when to strike, but no less important was the knowledge when to retreat.

"You are a coward," Archie said disgustedly.

"You can retreat now and attack later, but if you die, you will not have any chance." Liam reciprocated his murderous glare. "Damon, take her with us. We will leave," he ordered his beta without breaking their eyes contact.

"No, she stays with me." Archie glanced to his man, signaled them to block these five shifters' escape.

However, the dispute between them was no longer necessary when the real horror was about to happen.
