Chapter 84

84 REJECTION

“There is something strange. I can feel it...” Blue said, as she let out a low growl when she smelled the cold night air.

“I don’t feel anything,” Gael replied lightly, but he was on alert. He had not really recovered from the poison and didn’t think he would be any soon. “What do you feel?”

“I don’t know...” Blue felt restless all of a sudden, she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. “Let’s go.”

Gael took her hand and both of them walked toward the car. “Is it a non-human being?”

“Yes.”

“A werewolf?”

Gael thought if it was a werewolf, it could be someone from the Silver River pack, that her uncle had not yet given up on taking her from under Chaos’ care.

Actually, Gael had not heard anything about the members of Silver River pack, who came to his wedding the other day and fought with the people from the organization. But again, he didn’t go looking for them either. He had a lot of things on his plate, thus if they didn’t bother him or try to take Blue away again, it would be fine with him and Knox.

“No, it’s not a werewolf.” Blue had felt this feeling before, but she couldn’t remember when exactly she got this kind of feeling.

.....

Gael tightened his grip on Blue’s wrist, as they walked toward the car, he sat her down on the seat and buckled her up with her seatbelt.

After Gael was sure that she was safe, he rounded the car to get out of there, but then, he caught a sight of something moving very fast in his direction and he barely could dodge it, as he threw himself to the side.

That was when he knew Blue’s feeling was right.

However, what he saw after that, really shook his whole body. “BLUE!” He watched in horror when the car had been cut into two by something that he was still unsure of. Blue was still inside the car, strapped by her seatbelt.

Yet, before Gael could break down into tears and face Chaos’ wrath once again, that he was sure he wouldn’t be able to endure, he heard a loud growl from inside the broken car as a white wolf jumped out of it.

“Oh, my God... I love you so much my girl!” he almost screamed in happiness and pulled the white wolf into a tight hug when she walked toward him. “You almost gave me a heart attack, good job little one!” he said enthusiastically.

Blue wiggled her body from Gael, trying to free herself, as she growled at this hysterical man.

“Alright, alright...” Gael released his hug. “But, I need you to stay in this form, just in case.” Just in case his power couldn’t match with their attacker’s.

He searched for his phone to call Knox for backup, but he remembered that he left his phone inside the car.

“Blue, I left the phone inside the car, can you get it?” Gael asked and the wolf growled. “Okay, I will take that as a ‘yes’. You can make a move after I give you a sign, okay?”

The lamp post flickered as they could see a creature, as big as a bear with two horns on each side of its head, appear from behind the shadow of the trees.

“Oh, no... this is not good.” Gael knew what it was and wondered how such a monster could appear in this realm? They shouldn’t be here. “What?” he asked when Blue nipped on his finger. “I know, I am afraid too. What?”

That was not the answer the little wolf was seeking for, as she nipped at his finger again.

“What? Do you want me to teleport from here?” And she stopped nipping at him. “I can’t. My power is too weak now.”

The side effects of the poison that Lise gave him were abundant, one of which was; he couldn’t teleport himself, it also weakened his ability to a certain extent.

D*mn. He wouldn’t have agreed to go anywhere if he knew something like this would happen. Knox had told him that a few creature from the underworld seemed to have broken free from their chains and looked very angry because the existence of their kind was in danger of being exposed.

Yet, Gael didn’t think much about it, until he saw one himself now.

There was a low growl, as the ground shook slightly when that creature charged toward them. Gael knew what it was, but he had never seen it in real life. He knew that it was from some kind of myth and he didn’t think it would exist for real.

“Let’s split,” Gael said, he didn’t want to risk the little wolf’s life to fight this monster, they needed to get Knox here. “I will lead him somewhere and you go to the car and call Knox.”

The little wolf let out a growl.

“No, I am strong, actually I don’t need Knox’s help, but this is just in case, okay?” Gael blabbered, even though he didn’t know what Blue meant with her growling. “I am still sick, you know and this creature is twice my size.”

And when that creature came charging at the two of them, Gael threw himself to the right, while Blue went in the opposite direction.

Gael took a rock and threw it at that creature. “HEY, UGLY BEAST! COME HERE!”

However, the creature only threw Gael a nasty look before it fixed its red eyes on the white wolf, giving it its full attention.

“No! Not her! Me!” Gael shouted at that ugly creature, pointing at himself. “I am more delicious than her! Come at me instead!”

Yet, it was not enough to attract the creature’s interest, as it turned around to chase after Blue, leaving Gael dumbfounded.

Now, the little wolf had dashed to the main street, attempting to take the phone from there, but it wouldn’t work the way they had planned.

“Why do I feel rejected?” Gael felt hurt by that monster’s rejection.
