Untamed: The Alpha

79 SHE WILL HEAR IT LATER

“Who said you can leave?” Jasmine approached her brother and the woman, who was none other than Lise. “You can’t leave.”

“Jasmine,” Lise greeted her, she could immediately differentiate between Jasmine and July from the way she called her and the vibe that she gave off, since the two of them, despite being identical twins, had opposite characters.

Lise had never been good friends with Jasmine, unlike her relationship with July.

“Hey, Lise... I am sorry about your wedding,” she said in a mocking tone. Jasmine was still upset because their plan was completely ruined. They didn’t manage to kill the creature, who had become Lise’s husband and she couldn’t kill that little white wolf either.

Jasmine really got an ear-ful for this, the only comfort that she had was the fact that she and her team had managed to kill a few beasts from the Silver River pack.

“Don’t be sorry, because I don’t.” Lise was not in a good mood to deal with her snide comments. She could comment whatever she wanted, but not in front of her.

Jasmine raised an eyebrow at her and was about to talk again when Sol cut off the conversation. “Let’s go inside, you need to rest.” He helped Lise to take a step onto the stairs, since they had to climb five of them to the doorstep and he knew she had not been well these few days.

Seeing how concerned her brother was, Jasmine rolled her eyes dramatically. “She is not a baby, she doesn’t need that useless help.” She walked past them and entered the house first, without offering any help to the two of them.

Hearing that comment, Lise looked at Jasmine’s back until she disappeared behind the closed door. Her gaze was full of hostility, but Sol could understand that. Jasmine could be an a** most of the time.

.....

“Ignore her,” Sol said, rubbing her back in a soothing movement to calm her down. “I promise we will leave as soon as possible.”

Lise said nothing about it. She gritted her teeth and walked inside the house. She had been holding back her emotions and didn’t want to raise unnecessary arguments, since she had plenty since Sol said that he wanted her to keep the baby.

He was concerned that it would put her in danger if she got an abortion. It could claim her life and that was exactly what she wanted, as it was too scared to do it alone.

“Come on.” Sol held her hand and both of them went inside the house.

This house smelled like cinnamon and Lise could say that this was the biggest house in this area with a vast lawn, though there were some parts of it that had been damaged, which she assumed happened during the earthquake, but mostly, the house managed to withstand such a disaster.

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

There was a knocking sound on the door when Blue was sitting near the window, staring at the clear blue sky and felt the wind against her face.

It had been two days since she returned from ‘death’. That was what Anne called it. She cried and sobbed to know that she was fine and Chaos managed to get her back.

Blue didn’t know what had happened until Anne told her about it and the disaster that Chaos had caused because of her. It was simply hard to believe that Chaos had gone extra miles for her.

Another knock on the door and Gael’s voice resounded outside. “Can I come in?”

Blue glanced at the door lazily, but said nothing. Why did he even have to ask? Usually, he would enter her room even without her permission, but now he was being too polite and it was awkward.

Gael had not talked to her since her return, he avoided Blue for a reason that she actually knew.

Another knock which was then followed by a statement, “I will come in.”

There was a short pause and then Gael entered the room. He looked pale. Anne told her that he was greatly injured because of what had happened.

“You didn’t answer me, I thought you were sleeping,” Gael said and when she refused to answer him and chose to stare out of the window at the broken trees out there instead, he took a chair and dragged it close to her, as he sat down. “I know you are upset with me.”

“I am not.”

Gael raised his brows, that was completely a lie. “If you want to lie, make it believable.”

The little girl turned her head slightly and looked at Gael. “Why did your wife push me off the building?”

Gael flinched when he heard the title that Blue used. Why was everyone calling her ‘his wife’? He would love it when he had her in his arms, but not now, it sounded too harsh.

“She didn’t mean to do that.”

“She wanted to kill me.”

“No, Blue... the situation was a little bit complicated back then.”

“Did she think I would survive that height?” Blue creased her brows. She didn’t look like an eight year old child. Sometimes, it was easy to forget that. Especially while having these kinds of conversations.

“No, Blue, she was in panic.”

“Why did she run away from you?”

Gael sighed deeply, he didn’t want to admit it. He didn’t feel guilty for what he had done to Lise, but surely, he would have done more than that to keep her close to him.

“Because I have done bad things.”

Blue pulled her legs close to her chest and hugged them tightly, as she rested her head on her arms. “She will never love you.”

“You don’t have to say it out loud.” Gael knew Lise wouldn’t love him because that was his curse, he would never get the love that he wanted, one of the reasons why he did what he had done, since no matter what, she would never be his.

“I have tried to tell her before your wedding, but she said she will hear the story later.”
