122 THE WHITE WOLF
Lise mumbled, “Will you come back?”
“I don’t know,” Gael said in a low voice. These past five months had been very hard for him to keep up with his condition, but, as much as possible, he didn’t want to show it.
Therefore, his journey with Knox to find Chaos in different realms would be a big challenge for him.
“Do you want me to come back?” Gael didn’t know what possessed him to ask such a question to Lise, since he didn’t really want to hear the answer.
Wasn’t it very obvious to see that Lise didn’t want him? However, Gael was stunned when he heard her answer.
“Yes,” she said, her voice was barely a whisper and Gael almost missed it. “I want you to come back.” And Lise immediately added. “For our child.”
Gael didn’t expect he would hear something like that from her. He thought she wouldn’t want to see him at all and regardless of the reasons she needed him to come back, he felt his heart was at ease to know that he had a place to return, when he managed to survive whatever would come later.
“Of course,” Gael said. He lowered his head and very slowly he reduced the distance between them, giving Lise time to refuse him or gave him a slight sign that she didn’t want this, yet she stayed still and looked at him gently in the eyes.
Gael leaned over and placed a kiss on her tender lips, as tears fell from his eyes. She didn’t reject him this time...
.....
He would come back for her and their child. He hoped this realm wouldn’t be so defective and put his little family in harm’s way...
Gael had done everything that he could to prepare them for this moment.
“I love you Lise,” Gael said between the kiss, their kiss was so chaste, as if this was the first time he kissed her and as if all the cruel things that he had done to her had never happened. “I always do.”
=====================
Blue pushed her plate and drank her water, as she finished her dinner and watched the members of her uncle’s pack were done with their dinner as well and retreated to their own rooms, escorted by the same people that came to welcome them before.
Blue turned her head to look at her uncle, waiting for him to finish his talk with alpha Xerxes, so she could go to her room and rest. She wanted to sleep so badly. It had been days since she was sleeping inside the car. She missed the comfort of the bed and blanket.
However, instead of telling her to go to her own room, the Alpha looked at Blue again with that creepy gaze and talked to Alpha Anthony.
“Why don’t we see it now?” he suggested and they knew what he meant by that.
Alpha Xerxes wanted to see Blue in her beast form, the rare white wolf. Anthony had told her that she got the white beast from her mother, who passed away when she gave birth to her.
Apparently, there were a few myths, rumors and prophecies about the white beast, though it was not very popular, even among the shifters and any supernatural creatures.
But, Alpha Xerxes was into it.
“It will not take a long time...” he said in a light tone, but before Alpha Anthony could say anything, Alpha Xerxes had stood up and was about to lead them to the other room. “Follow me over here.”
Blue frowned. She didn’t like this man since the first time she landed her eyes on him.
“Just for a moment, Zuri.” Uncle Anthony tried to persuade her, because he had seen her discomfort and reluctance to follow the other alpha.
Blue was always very clear with her own emotions and her opinion, therefore, it was rather easy to know what she was thinking at this moment.
“Just for a moment, after that you can rest for the whole day, okay?” Uncle Anthony stretched out his hand for Blue to take.
Having no other choice, Blue grabbed her uncle’s warm hand and let him lead her, following Alpha Xerxes to enter one of the doors in this main hall.
The door led them to a corridor with white brick walls on both sides, which held a few pictures of himself and his family. He had a beautiful mate with black eyes and two sons with the youngest seemed to be around Blue’s age.
After a few minutes of walking, Alpha Xerxes stopped in front of one of the rooms on their left and opened it for them. “Please,” he smiled politely.
Blue lifted her head and looked at her uncle’s furrowed brows. His grip on her hand tightened. At least, with her uncle’s reaction, Blue knew that she was not the only one who felt strange with Alpha Xerxes’ behavior and the way he looked at her.
Anthony entered the room, it was only a simple bedroom with a single bed and cabinet. A huge window that faced the backyard was atop of the headboard of the bed.
“Zuri,” Anthony called her name softly, he dropped to his knees and looked at her. Blue wasn’t really fond of that name, since she liked her name that she picked herself. “Can you shift to your wolf?”
“Why?” Blue asked her uncle, but her eyes were fixed on Alpha Xerxes.
“Alpha Xerxes wants to see it.” Anthony put both of his hands on her cheeks, so she could look at him instead. “Can you do it? So, we can rest after this, just for a few minutes.”
Blue took a step back and, even though she didn’t want to do it, she still shifted into her white wolf, her fur was as white as snow, it was so soft and beautiful under the moonlight...
“You see her now...” But, before Anthony could finish his sentence, a silver dagger was plunged into his chest.
