Chapter 19

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It also gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms, trust issues and a dark sense of humor.

-Barefoot five-

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

The saber landed with a soft thud on the snowy ground, just a few inches away from blue’s fingers. She was sure that Chaos didn’t bring anything with him, so the appearance of the weapon was a surprise for her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Kill him,” Chaos commanded. He stared at her, but his dark blue eyes looked very distant, as if he was contemplating something else while he asked a little girl, no older than eight years old, to kill someone.

“YOU SON OF A B*TCH!” the Alpha roared again, his body trembling with anger that coursed through him, but he was not able to shift into his beast and lunge at Chaos to finish this man off himself. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY PEOPLE?!”

Chaos simply waved his hand and the alpha’s mouth clamped shut.

.....

Now, the alpha of the werewolves was not able to move, shift, or even talk. It didn’t take a genius to say that it would be the end of his life, whether it was the little girl who would snatch it, or it would be the dangerous creature named Chaos, who would spare the young soul of the she-wolf and take this matter into his own hands.

Whatever it was, the future was bleak for the alpha. He had signed a death warrant when he decided to attack this man.

No rule in this world would be able to bind Chaos, therefore, the alpha shouldn’t even think to provoke him.

Blue took the saber and weighed it with one hand. It was heavy. The weapon was heavy, but the thing that Chaos asked her to do was even heavier.

“Shouldn’t we spare him?” Blue knelt down, her white hair cascaded around her naked body, as the coldness of the snow under her folded feet left her numb, but she didn’t move, her focus was on Chaos.

For a moment, Blue thought Chaos would consider it, since he didn’t say a word, but she was wrong to think that way. She barely knew him.

With one swift movement, as if Chaos was waving off someone curtly, he finished the alpha.

Blue turned her head and witnessed what Chaos could possibly do just in time, before the alpha disappeared into dust.

His body still couldn’t move and his lips were sealed shut. But then, starting from his legs up to his knees, his waist and then his upper body turned into dust. He just disappeared gradually like that, like a burning paper. The ashes were scattered by the wind and the alpha’s life ended abruptly.

Blue gasped in surprise, she was shocked, since she had never seen anything like this. There was a big possibility that the hundreds of beasts that were about to attack them earlier, had vanished in the same way as the alpha did.

The little girl turned her head to look at Chaos, but the man had walked toward the gate.

Meanwhile, the saber in Blue’s hand had turned into a white dress that matched her hair, the same color as their surroundings.

“Chaos,” Blue called him after she put her dress on and ran to follow him. “Why did you do that?”

“No questions,” Chaos said curtly.

Blue knew deep in her heart that this man was dangerous and she must not follow him. His order was absurd and killing people was not right.

However, there was something in him that she couldn’t resist, she wanted to be close to him. Probably because he was the only person that she knew, or maybe there was another thing that she had not known yet. Something mysterious and hard to explain, or understand...

The rays of the sun that fell on Blue’s face were warm and even though she felt a little bit cold because she didn’t dress properly, she welcomed the breeze against her skin.

“How many people have you saved?” Blue asked all of a sudden, since this journey to the gate was very quiet and depressing.

The question was a little bit odd. “You should ask me how many of them lost their lives in my hands.”

“I have asked that question to someone after he killed our attacker, but he said you will lose count after the third.” Blue walked behind Chaos, because it was easier to walk in his footprints rather than dipping her feet in this thick snow. “There were a hundred beasts earlier. It was more than three.”

Chaos was quite surprised with her logic. Of course she was not wrong. He wouldn’t know the number now.

Whether it was a thousand, a hundred thousand, or a million... It was hard to say.

“So, how many lives have you saved?” Blue repeated her question, she clutched onto his jacket, so she wouldn’t fall behind, because Chaos didn’t slow down his pace for her.

“None.”

“You saved my life, should it count as one?”

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

“I don’t want you to go out of this house without my permission and I don’t want you to say a thing about what you had seen, understood?” Gael whispered to the trembling, naked girl under him.

Soft sobs from Lise answered his question. The girl bit her lips so hard until they bled. She felt disgusted with herself and didn’t want to see Gael anymore.

Gael leaned over and kissed her lips, coaxing an answer while he forced himself on her. He loved how Lise’s brows arched in pain, or the tears that spilled from the corners of her eyes.

He loved her, but he loved her even more when she was in pain.

“Understood?” he rasped, his voice shook as he came undone inside of her and Lise didn’t have any choice but to take it all.

Gael didn’t give her any choice. He would never give such a thing to this girl...

“Understood,” she breathed out in pain.
