Untamed: The Alpha

113 THEY LEFT HER ALONE

“No,” she said. “I cooked this.” Lise poured soup in a bowl and gave it to Gael. “Want to try?”

Immediately, Gael forgot about that distasteful fried tofu and took the bowl from Lise’s hand. “I don’t know that you can cook.”

“There are a lot of things that you don’t know about me,” Lise replied, yet there was no hostility in her voice when she said that.

“I would love to learn all of that,” Gael said, as he brought the spoon to his lips and tasted that delicious soup. “Will you let me?”

Lise stopped her movements for a second, before she continued to fill her bowl with the soup. “I don’t have any other choice, do I?”

Gael looked at the soup in front of him and spoke sincerely. “I am in the state where I am willing to do anything for you, Lise. And yes, you have the choice to not answer my question.”

Lise stirred the soup in front of her. “It would be rude of me to not answer your question.”

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

Blue woke up again with pain all over her body, her throat was very dry and scratchy, and it was very uncomfortable. She felt hot.

.....

The first thing that she realized was the fact that it was no longer night, since the warm light of the sun caressed her face through the opened window, as the wind blew into the room.

Where am I? That was the first thought that came to her mind.

When she opened her eyes, she could see that she was inside a room, a bedroom, with a chair and desk in a corner of it and a bookshelf on the other side of the wall, while beside it there was a huge window that was opened, letting the wind to carry the smell of flowers and damp grass inside.

Where is this place?

Blue didn’t believe she was some kind of prisoner, since it looked far better than that.

She remembered what had happened that night and the feeling of being abandoned returned, when Chaos didn’t even spare a second to see her, checking on her, whether she was all right or not.

But then, where was she now?

Blue groaned when she put away the blanket that covered her body and got off of the bed. Her legs gave away once she tried to stand up, but she gritted her teeth to prevent herself from screaming, since it would attract other people’s attention.

She didn’t know who would be waiting for her behind that closed door.

Yet, she didn’t feel like she was in some kind of prison, she was not tied as well, as she was free to move around.

Blue tried to stand up again, her legs felt like jelly, but then she stayed still, her senses were on alert when she heard footsteps approaching this room.

The footsteps stopped right in front of the door, as it rattled when someone opened it from the other side.

Blue glared at whoever walked into this room, since she didn’t recognize their scent.

“Zuri, you are awake,” a rough voice caressed her ears when she saw her uncle figure, who immediately knelt down in front of her. “You are fine now, you are here. You don’t need to worry about anything else.”

Blue let him carry her back to the bed.

Her mind reeled, as she realized what had happened. She gritted her teeth and balled her fists. She felt betrayed and abandoned, just like when Chaos left her alone inside the car.

Her uncle talked about something, telling her that she had passed out for almost three days and he got very worried, since it was hard for them to get a doctor to check on her condition in this situation.

The number of the members of The Hound had grown bigger and bigger, as they skimmed all the corners of the city to find the supernatural creatures and killed them all.

It was the only information that Blue could get into her hazy mind.

“Where is Anne?” Blue finally spoke.

“Anne?” Anthony mentioned that name in disgust. “I don’t accept humans in my pack,” he said through gritted teeth.

Anthony despised the humans, as their kind had killed a lot of his pack members and their number had dwindled significantly. How could he let a human stay in his pack?

He would accept Zuri because she was his niece, but not with humans. All the members of his pack would shred her into pieces once Knox left her with them as well.

Therefore, it was only Blue, who stayed in this pack, as he took Anne with him again.

“They left me?” Blue felt suffocated when the loneliness hit her hard. She was alone in this strange place with people that she barely knew. No, she didn’t know them.

“Why are you crying, my little girl?” Anthony knelt down beside Blue’s bed and wiped her tears, but the little girl pulled the blanket up to cover her face and entire body. “You are safe here, you are with your kind. There is nothing for you to be sad about.”

Blue cried her heart out. Her uncle didn’t understand. He didn’t understand what she felt right now.

They left her here without saying anything, they left her here without saying goodbye and Blue didn’t have a chance to ask them, whether they would come back for her? Would she stay here forever?

Why didn’t they take her with them? She would have been a good girl and listened to whatever they said.

She had spent two years being a pet wolf in that human house before Chaos found her, thus what made them think that she couldn’t endure whatever that was thrown at her?

She wanted to be with them...

“Blue, don’t cry, okay?” Anthony tried to coax the heartbroken girl, yet there was nothing he could do to appease her sadness.
