Untamed: The Alpha

65 FALLING

Blue was not sure that she could dodge the bullet, but then again, she didn’t have many options. Yet something hit her hard. A realization that she missed before.

How could she miss such an important thing?

She had seen this man before. He was the same man that approached her when she was in the café, on her first trip together with Chaos, during which he killed a pack full of shifters.

But then, another thing that she realized was... she had met him even before their encounter in the café.

He was there when the green people attacked her pack. To make things worse, he was the man that killed her friends and the members of her pack, hunted her father and her down, until she had to spend two years in her beast form, pretending to be a pet dog...

He was the reason she lost her family. He killed them all. He led those people to kill all the people that she knew.

And now he wanted to kill Gael after he killed her?

Blue gritted her teeth. Anger coursed through her veins, as she growled viciously even in her human skin. Hatred filled her heart and she wanted him dead.

It bothered her when she had to kill the two men that had their weapons pointed at Gael, but the moment she remembered what this man had done to her two years ago, she didn’t think that she mind at all to kill him right there and then.

.....

Blue balled her fists and snarled at Sol.

“Blue!” Gael became alert when he noticed the change of the girl’s expression. Something bothered her and now she wouldn’t listen to him. “Blue, stop it!” he winced when he shouted her name, but she simply ignored him.

Gael grunted when he pushed himself up to go to her.

Sol was out of his mind upon watching his friends die before his eyes in such a cruel way, but Blue was angry about something that Gael couldn’t understand. He had never seen this little girl so vicious like this.

He knew it was not about him, there must be something else that made her like this.

On the other hand, Lise still couldn’t grasp the whole situation, but she knew that she had to stop Sol from killing the girl.

Therefore, she pushed herself from the ground and ran toward Sol, she put herself in front of the gun to prevent him from shooting Blue.

“Stop it!” she said firmly. She grabbed his hand that was holding the gun and repeated her words. “Stop it.”

From the corner of Lise’s eyes, she could see how Gael was trying to stop the little girl as well. She would never have thought that the girl was a shifter. She talked to her before their wedding and maybe that was the reason why she felt that Blue was different. Something about her was different.

And indeed, she was not human after all.

“Blue! Stop it!” Gael tried to hold her back, as much as he could in his current state, but the girl was immersed in her own pain and the anger that coursed through her veins.

Blue clawed at Gael, inflicting another wound on him, but it was not fatal, since it was only a claw mark on his skin.

“LET ME GO!” the little girl roared, her white hair fluttering in the wind on the top floor. “HE KILLED MY PARENTS! HE KILLED MY PACK!” her cries rang through the night, it sounded like a howl that was laced with a little pain and sorrow.

“What?” Gael didn’t see this coming. It was the most unexpected thing that he thought he would hear after all of this mess.

Meanwhile, Sol stopped struggling in Lise’s embrace, he blinked his eyes and stared at the little girl that he intended to kill. He looked like he was trying to remember something, as his brows furrowed deeply.

“I AM GOING TO KILL HIM!” Blue cried, all the memories rushed back to her mind, as she broke free from Gael’s grip and charged toward Sol and Lise. Blue shifted into her white beast once again. Her hazel eyes were so bright under the moonlight.

Seeing that, Lise put herself between them, she didn’t care about herself, it would be good if she could end her life right there and then.

With the fact that Gael was watching her, it would be a punishment for him.

However, Sol moved swiftly and shoved her to the side. He couldn’t fight the beast bare handed, no matter how skilled he was, they were trained to fight the beasts with weapons, as it was the most possible way to hurt them.

Therefore, out of instinct and having no other options, he raised his hand and shot the white beast. He shot her right in her chest.

“NO!” Gael roared in shock when the gunshots rang loudly through this silent night.

Fortunately, the white beast had seen it coming and dodged the bullet, but it still grazed her neck. Blood smeared on her white fur.

The beast skidded and almost fell from the edge of the building, panting as she growled viciously. Her instincts had taken control and she was no longer able to see reason.

“Stop shooting her!” Gael ran toward Sol, but on the third step he fell to the ground, his body bent forward, he couldn’t even breathe properly now.

D*mn the poison that Lise had given to him! It finally reached the worst part of it.

“Don’t even think of killing her,” Gael warned Sol. It was not because he cared about Blue, but the two of them didn’t know what kind of calamity that they would bring upon themselves later.

On the other hand, the beast growled loudly and charged forward, dashing directly at Sol.

However, things happened really fast until no one could believe what actually happened.

Before the white beast could make her move on Sol, Lise went forward and pushed her hard, causing the beast to fall from the building.
