Untamed: The Alpha

61 DON’T LEAVE ME

And yet, we love with broken hearts.

-Angel. A.G-

******************

“I will kill you and I will take her,” Sol said grimly. He wouldn’t mind commanding to open fire if Lise was not around, but since there was a high chance she would get hurt, he couldn’t do anything reckless.

However, it was Gael who did something unexpected instead.

He put down Lise and pressed a gun to her head. “If I can’t have her, no one can.” He looked around him and knew immediately, without his power, he wouldn’t be able to outdo them in this battle. They were at a stalemate.

And such a situation needed an extreme decision.

Gael stared straight at Sol and could easily read that this young man was dumbstruck by his bold move to threaten Lise’s life.

“You will not do it,” Sol said, his voice was hard while his expression turned dark, as he fixed his eyes on Lise. “You will not dare to kill her.”

.....

But, even he could hear clearly that he was not sure about what he was saying. He didn’t know how crazy this creature was, he could simply kill Lise if he had to.

“Really?” Gael raised his brows, he took a steady step forward, while his guards stayed close to him. “Try me then and you will see whether I dare or not to shoot her.”

On the other hand, Lise was stunned to see the number of men, fully armed, brought by Sol. How could he bring so many people? And from the looks of it, they were all well trained in handling heavy weapons.

Lise had known Sol for decades, but it seemed the man before her eyes was not the same reckless boy from her childhood. He looked mature and determined.

“I don’t need to do it.” Sol looked stoic. “The poison will do it for me. Don’t worry, it will not kill you, but you will suffer.”

The poison took a long time to show the effects, but it was very certain that the one that Gael had taken was deadly.

Gael tilted his head and the smile on his lips was a mockery to what Sol stated. “I have suffered enough boy, you can’t make me suffer more than this.”

At this time, Gael and Sol were only five steps away from each other, as they were heavily guarded by their own people.

Lise looked at Sol, but no words came out from her lips. She felt numb at all of this and didn’t know what to think. The chance for the two of them to come out alive from this confrontation was nearly impossible.

And then, without warning, Gael did something unexpected yet again.

In the blink of an eye, Gael aimed his gun at Sol’s heart instead and opened fire.

“NO!” Lise’s scream rang through the night, as she watched in horror when Sol’s body fell backward. His face was scrunched in pain.

And it was a cue for both parties to start attacking each other. All hell broke loose. Their aim was to kill until there was no one left.

The night became chaotic, but for Lise, her entire world crumbled when she saw Sol’s body lying on the ground motionless.

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

Blue glared at her uncle, who was glaring back at Knox, but the pack members behind him that had shifted into their beasts, were snarling at the group that Jasmine led.

The shifters knew their enemy and Jasmine was part of the green people, who had been hunting down their kind for years.

Just like Blue, they knew their true identity almost immediately once they laid their eyes on them.

But, their intention now was not to fight the green people, but to take away Blue from Knox. This was a tricky situation, but nonetheless, no one was willing to back down.

Blue clutched her jacket tightly with one hand, but her other one held Knox’s. She didn’t want to be near either of them. She wanted to be with him.

“Knox,” Anthony greeted Knox, but his voice was too stern to count it as a warm greeting.

“Anthony,” Knox reciprocated the greeting in the same way.

“Hand her over to us and we will leave this place.”

Knox looked at Anthony and then the little girl that held his hand tightly, and then in one swift move, he freed his hand from hers.

This shocked Blue, because she thought she had lost him, that Knox had disappeared all of a sudden like what Chaos always did, but the man was still there.

“You can go to him if you want.” Knox knew that this decision was against what Chaos wanted, but if this little girl didn’t want to stay with them, they shouldn’t force her to do so.

She was not part of them after all and seeing their situation now, it was hard for Knox to say that he wanted her around. Her existence alone was complicated and that was the last thing that he wanted; another problem.

However, Blue pressed her body against Knox’s Leg, as she shouted at her uncle. “I don’t want to go with you!” She then lifted her head and looked at Knox with her hazel eyes, pleading. “Don’t leave me.”

The words struck his heart. It sounded like something that he had heard from a distant memory. But, he was sure this memory was not his, since his existence alone was a big question.

Therefore, this feeling was not his as well.

“Don’t leave me,” Blue said again, she clutched at his jacket tightly, her tears threatening to fall down from her eyes.

Knox was at a loss for a moment when he saw her eyes.

There was something familiar in the way she looked at him, but he was not sure what it was... he had never been so close to her ever since she arrived at their manor.

But then, Jasmine chose that very moment to shoot him right in his head.
