Untamed: The Alpha

87 CHAOTIC NIGHT (3)

The siblings were trembling in fear inside the closet. They were trying to be as quiet as they could, but they were only children and what they experienced now overwhelmed them.

If that man was a bad guy, Blue would be in danger. And, what about the monster that was in their living room? What about the nice uncle who bought them a meal? The little boy apologized in his heart to his friend because he couldn’t be of any help.

“Are you okay?” Knox asked Blue, once he saw her. She managed to get through to him in time and told him their whereabouts, or else, Gael would have serious injuries or even a funeral.

“Yes,” Blue answered quickly. “What about Gael?” She didn’t need the answer, because she could hear his footsteps in the corridor. “Let’s go from here.”

Knox didn’t respond to that, as he looked around the room. “Are you alone here?” Knox asked, his voice was so deep, as if he was trying to assess this room.

“Yes,” Blue lied smoothly.

Knox was a piece of Chaos’ shattered soul, thus he was not so different from him. There was a high chance that he would kill her friend and Blue wouldn’t let him do that.

“What are you waiting for? We need to leave,” Gael complained when he appeared in the doorway, clutching his chest and coughing.

“We can’t leave a witness.”

.....

“Witness?” Gael scoffed. “The whole block of this area has seen this and even taken videos of that creature and now, in front of this house were police, ready to barge in, and you are talking about witnesses?”

Knox glared at Gael.

“You have to bury this whole area if you don’t want to leave any witness.” He reciprocated the hard glare that Knox directed at him.

Blue bit her lips, she held her breath because Knox could be very stubborn and stand up for what he believed, but thankfully, tonight he was a little bit rational and took Gael’s advice.

Knox grabbed Blue’s hand and they disappeared from that place, leaving Gael alone behind, as the man could only stare with a dropped jaw.

“He is so d*mn petty!”

His car had been destroyed and he couldn’t go out of the house from the front door, because he already heard the sound of the police coming into the living room.

Therefore, he went to the closet and found the siblings there.

“Now, since I kept you alive from Knox and fed you, I want you to do something for me,” he said sternly.

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

Almost every night, Lise would toss and turn in her sleep, crying and becoming hysterical, as nightmares came to her like a disease that she couldn’t escape.

She would cry even in her sleep and apologize for the mistake that she made.

Lise was always gnawed by this guilty feeling. She thought the disaster happened because of her, because she had pushed that little girl off the building.

The fact that she had killed her still plagued her head. The probability was too high and the look in Gael’s eyes told her everything...

He looked terrified, the way Gael looked at her, kept hunting her even in her sleep. He blamed her for killing the little girl and the disaster after that was not a coincidence.

Lise couldn’t believe that at all.

“Lise... Lise... it’s okay, it’s not your fault. You are safe now,” Sol would try to console her, but no amount of words could make her feel better, especially since she was pregnant. She wanted to get rid of this baby, yet Sol didn’t allow her to do that.

He didn’t help her!

That sucked!

And by each passing day, Lise’s condition only turned worse, as she kept throwing up all the food she ate and couldn’t even drink a droplet of water without being sick.

In the end, she could only lay down on her bed, breathing heavily, as the nightmares rendered her restless and sleep deprived. The rest that she needed never came.

“Lise...” Sol held Lise’s hand, he caressed her face lightly, as he stared into her eyes. “Please...”

Sol didn’t know what he was pleading for, but the thought of losing her made him even more agitated. He wanted to go and kill all of those non- human beings, especially Gael McKeltar, who had put Lise in such a condition, but it was not an easy feat.

He would love to take over the organization and fight Gael McKeltar, killing him in the most brutal way possible, yet he didn’t want to leave Lise for a long time, he wanted to be beside her.

Most of the time, Lise would keep Sol there as long as she could, listening to him telling stories, and asking a few questions every now and then.

Because she knew, when she slept, she would dream.

Sometimes, she dreamed of the falling little girl from the building, or a white wolf, or both.

But, the worst were the dreams of the disaster that had taken many lives, the dark city because of the power outage during that time, or the news about the increasing number of the victims.

Lise still believed it was all her fault for that to happen, though she couldn’t explain it how.

“Everything will be okay,” Sol said, and cradled her in his arms carefully and laid them together on the bed, as they reminisced about their childhood memories.

“I am cold...” Lise whispered, her voice was very soft as her breathing became very shallow.

“I will turn on the heater, okay...” he said, about to release his arms around her to go turn on the heater. Yet weakly, Lise held him back.

“No, I want you with me here...” she said, her voice was barely a whisper, as her eyes closed.

Sol hesitated, but upon seeing how she clutched onto him, he resumed his position and hugged her even tighter. “Okay.”
