Untamed: The Alpha

236 THE DELTA

“Do you think you can get this position from me!?” Jasmine was enraged when she saw the appointment letter that arrived at her desk this morning. She was shocked, completely speechless when she opened and read the information inside.

She was very sure that she would get the position, as the commander of The Delta. It was the new recruiting group of the young survivors from the attack on Fokosa city and the cities nearby that got the greater impact because of the havoc that was wrecked by the supernatural creatures.

This Delta group was a new group under The Hound, personnel of which would be trained on their new deadly weapons and all their latest inventions.

This group was meant to produce better attackers and defenders than the former, The Hound. To put it simply, this group was the better version of The Hound.

And this was Jasmine’s idea, to make those girls and boys in the age of sixteen to twenty five to be recruited for this project, without exception. It was a conscription for them.

Because Jasmine didn’t believe that women were any less powerful than men, she didn’t want this conscription to be forced on men alone.

Moreover, after seeing how the number of the members of The Hound dwindled so much since what happened in Fokosa city, it was only right to include them as well.

The problem was; since this was Jasmine’s idea, she was confident that she would get the commander position, not second in command!

“Explain this to me!” Jasmine lost it. She threw the letter at Sol’s face, but he caught it before it slapped him across the face in front of so many people there.

.....

Sol’s eyes were so cold when he watched how his sister was having a mental breakdown. This situation would only turn ugly and he didn’t have any desire to amuse all the people there with this drama.

“Get yourself together and talk to me later.” Sol was about to walk past her, but Jasmine stopped him by grabbing his arm so tight, until Sol could feel her nails stabbing through his uniform.

“Do you think you can take this position from me?” Jasmine hissed furiously at Sol. At this particular moment, he could even see how much hatred she was harboring all these years in her eyes, but he could care less about that. They had never been close since they were children after all.

“I have taken the position. If you have anything to complain about, you can go and ask our father,” Sol hissed back at her and then walked away after he freed himself from her clutches. He had his own business and problems to deal with.

Gael had taken Lise from him and he was determined to kill every supernatural creature that he could find. That man had made Lise suffer. He still remembered how he hurt Lise and how scared she was.

Those memories dated back to when everything was still fine and the world was not a hell like this.

On the other hand, Jasmine glared at Sol’s retreating back, but she decided to go and find her father to confirm this.

She knew where she could find Archie Williams and to make things easier, it was indeed her father, who had appointed Sol as the commander for the new regiment.

“Why?” Jasmine could hear her voice trembling. She felt betrayed by her own father. “This is my idea! I am the one who has worked hard to make this happen!”

Archie shook his head. He looked apologetic, but didn’t seem to regret his decision. “Because Sol is more suitable for this position.”

At this point, Jasmine was stunned speechless and then laughed. “Because he is a man? Because he is your son?”

She should have known this. Her father was a true patriarchist and he didn’t even count the fact that it was Jasmine in the picture. It was her all along, who stood next to him in order to form The Hound. And also fought for him against all the supernatural creatures and she even had to leave Liam...

The last thing still stung her heart painfully every time his name crossed her mind.

But all of her sacrifices were nothing.

Not because Sol was a better soldier than her, not because he was a good strategist, not because he had won countless battles against the supernatural creatures.

No. Not any of that, but because he was a man and her father preferred his son to be in the highest position, despite his lack of contribution to this organization.

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

The Delta, that was the name that Nikolai heard about where these thousands of teenagers and young people would be taken to.

This was the new regiment that would be trained hard to fight the supernatural creatures and when the time came, they would be sent out there to get rid of all of them.

Nikolai didn’t know what to say at this point. He was still under the impression that not all the supernatural creatures were bad. Just like humans, not all of them were good people or even decent humans, just like his father.

But, whenever he heard someone start talking about how all the supernatural creatures deserved to die, he would think about Blue and Gael. The two people that had bought him and his sister dinner when they were very hungry.

And how Blue had defended him when they were in the school.

He did not completely agree with them and felt like he was in the wrong place. Moreover, he was worried about his sister. They said they had put her in an orphanage, but it had been a week since the last time he met her or spoke to her, since any communication outside of the facility was forbidden.

No one knew when they could leave this place, or when they would be able to meet their families that they had been forced to leave behind all of a sudden.

“Look, that is our Commander, Commander Sol!”
