The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 664

Chapter 664: ESCAPE

Pearl vanished beneath the black water with a violent splash, and the entire sea shifted.

The waves stilled.

Then all of a sudden it trembled.

Before I could even process what she’d said

In your condition -which I instantly shoved out of my mind because everything was collapsing too fast-

Otto grabbed my wrist.

"Jasmine. Now. On the horse, let’s go!"

His voice cracked with urgency and a hint of terror.

I scrambled onto my horse, my bare feet slipping on the sand, and Otto practically threw himself onto his.

The night air bit through my skin like knives.

Before he could respond, he was interrupted.

The horn that had blown the first time that Pearl had reacted to, blew again

WOOOOOOOOM.

It was scarier than the first.

The kind of sound that vibrated in your bones.

The kind that felt like it could summon nightmares.

Otto’s face drained of color.

"Jasmine," he rasped, "we have to get out of here faster!"

"You’re scaring me, Otto," I said in fear as I chewed my bottom lip.

"If what I know about Sirens is true. The first horn signals a foreign presence. The second is that they are aware of the foreign presence, and they are ready to attack."

My mind began to race in terror.

Pearl had said her people and ours were at war.

I knew that Pearl even speaking to us was forbidden.

Talk less of the fact that she had saved Otto with her powers.

He turned his horse sharply toward the forest.

My stomach sank.

We kicked our horses forward, hooves pounding sand as we broke into a full gallop.

But before we made it five feet, the sea erupted.

A surge of water exploded upward, and then I saw them.

Hundreds.

Hundreds of blue figures slicing through the water with violent speed.

Their glowing white hair streaming behind them like ghost fire.

Their tails cut the waves like blades.

They swam so fast the ocean churned into a spiral.

Otto swore under his breath, voice shaking.

"They’re coming."

Cold panic slammed into me.

The sirens were closing in fast.

Too fast.

The horn blasted AGAIN, deeper this time

WOOOOOOOOM

And the sea split open where they moved.

"JASMINE, GO!" Otto roared. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

I didn’t think.

I just kicked the horse with every ounce of fear inside me.

The beast surged forward, hooves tearing across the wet sand.

Otto stayed behind me by only a few inches.

The sirens were so close now that I could hear the

A high-pitched humming sound that vibrated like a swarm of bees.

Their bodies glimmered beneath the moonlight, a wave of scales and fury.

I risked one look back.

I shouldn’t have.

"OTTO!" I screamed.

They were racing, not swimming.

Racing.

A mass of blue bodies slicing the sea surface, closing the distance in seconds.

Otto shouted, "KEEP YOUR EYES AHEAD!"

But I couldn’t

Because the closer they came, the more the humming grew into something sharper, more dangerous.

Like a song that wanted to crawl into your skull and rip you apart.

My horse stumbled for a second, and I nearly fell.

"JASMINE!" Otto yelled, panic cracking his voice.

"DON’T LISTEN TO THEM, FOCUS!"

I forced myself to tear my gaze away from the sea.

The forest line wasn’t far.

Just a few more seconds.

A few more seconds.

But the sirens were almost parallel with us now, swimming so fast the waves slapped the shore hard enough to sting.
