UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

"I hope you will die," Lise said her words with ease, but tears fell from her eyes, as she touched her stomach and felt her child.

Lise felt terrible when she said those hurtful words to Gael. She wanted to take them back, it was not her nature to try hurting another person.

On the other hand, Gael didn't even flinch when he heard that. He had expected the worse and those words didn't hurt him, though he felt his chest caving in, since he knew that Lise was telling him the truth.

"I am sorry to give you pain when I intended to give you happiness, I am sorry for making you go through misery when I want to give you joy." Gael came closer to Lise and stood in front of her, blocking her view of the mirror. "I am sorry I put you in hell when I know you deserve more than me."

Lise lifted her head and stared at Gael through her teary eyes. "In that case, why don't you let me go?"

Gael felt his own words choking him when he had to show his feelings for her. It was a raw feeling, one he wasn't used to feeling. He kept brushing it away whenever he felt vulnerable with this feeling. He felt weak and he hated it.

However, he was willing to do anything for her right now. There was nothing he wouldn't do for her at this moment. He hoped it was enough to make her stay.

He knew that Lise wouldn't be able to love him no matter what he had done, but he just wanted her to understand, he couldn't let her go.

Gael took a dagger from inside of his jacket, the same dagger that he gave her months ago and put it in her hand.

"I know this is cruel for me to ask you to do this," Gael started, wrapping Lise's fingers around the hilt of the dagger. "But, I can't let you go." He brought Lise's hand, which was holding the dagger and pointed its sharp end to his chest. "You need to do it."

Lise looked at the sharp end of the dagger that pointed at his chest and then laughed wryly. "You will survive. You will not die. Do you think I don't know?" She squinted her eyes at him. "You are a supernatural creature after all."

"No, I will not." Gael shook his head. "You poisoned me and it's quite effective."

Lise stared at him, her eyes held so much emotion, she tried to discern the way Gael looked at her, but she couldn't find hatred in those eyes.

What was that…? Hopelessness?

"What do you mean?"

Gael chuckled lightly and then he talked as if they were talking about the weather instead of the possibility of him dying in Lise's hands anytime now.

"I think you can say that I am more human than a supernatural creature now." Gael caressed her cheeks lightly to wipe away her tears. "The poison has weakened me greatly."

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

Blue ran as fast as she could and entered a shopping center, where there were many people roaming around. It was a rush hour and weekend as well, so no wonder the situation was like that.

Blue was slightly dizzy when she sensed various scents from people around her, as they stared at her with interested eyes upon noticing her white hair.

A few young girls came to Blue and tried to touch her white hair and pinched her cheeks or simply asked her kindly whether she was lost. They asked about her mother and who she came with.

However, Blue didn't answer any of those questions as she started running away again.

Amid this huge sea of people, she wouldn't be able to keep tracking Knox or sense his presence before he could come near her.

Blue didn't want to go with him. He said that he would take her to a place that she didn't want to go and make her stay with people she barely knew.

She liked it to be with them, so why were they pushing her away?

Blue made her way through the people and tried to find a quiet corner that had fewer people, since she couldn't handle this any longer.

Yet, before she could find one such place, she sensed something else. It was a coffee scent.

All of a sudden her body stiffened. She looked around her and found the source of the scent, but of course it was not Chaos or Knox. It was someone else.

Someone that had Chaos' soul.

It was a piece of his shattered soul.

Out of instinct, Blue followed the scent that led her to a man. She was a shifter. Blue knew it once she saw her.

But, for some reason, the scent was not coming from her…

She didn't have a piece of his shattered soul, but if it was not her, then who? The scent was so strong, it was even stronger than Knox's. What does that mean?

Blue tilted her head, her brows furrowed in confusion, as she stared intently at that woman, it must be because of that, the woman finally noticed her presence. She looked at Blue and smiled softly, as she walked closer to her.

"Are you lost?" The woman knelt down in front of Blue, so they were at eye level.

"You are a shifter," Blue said as a matter of fact, but the woman immediately covered her mouth and gave her a warning look.

"You can't say it out loud," she warned her in a low voice. Of course, she knew that this little girl was also a shifter. "Where is your mom? I will take you to her, but we need to wait for my mate to return first."

And almost at the same time she said that, her expression contorted in fear, as her mate mind- linked her.

"We need to go from here," the woman said in panic. "The Hound is here."
