Blue was running behind the cars when she felt something sharp pierce her ankle. The pain rendered her unable to run, as the white beast fell to the ground, whimpering.

She watched in fear and stubbornness at the rifle that was directed at her as tears welled up in her eyes from the pain.

She had never felt this kind of pain before. It made her heart beat faster as her body trembled. The pain was so bad that she wanted to scream at the top of her lungs.

But what could be heard by those people was warning growls from the wounded wolf on the ground. Its blood tainted its white fur as its hazel eyes filled with anger.

“I got her!” The man that shot the white beast informed his comrades to come.

It took only seconds for them to gather around her and look at her with scornful eyes, as if she were a pest that needed to be gotten rid of immediately.

.....

“She is a small shifter, should we kill her?” One of the men put down his rifle. “I don’t think it’s right to kill shifters randomly.” He stood up for his belief that their organization didn’t exist to hunt down shifters, but to deliver punishment to those shifters that had broken the rules between them. To those who deserved it.

However, it was pretty obvious that this little shifter had done nothing to harm humans.

“A shifter is driven by their instinct, she may be small now, but when she grows up, she will be a threat to humans.” Jasmine stepped forward and looked at the angry and wounded little beast right in the eyes. “By killing her now, we can prevent her from taking someone else’s life.”

“But, she hasn’t done anything wrong.”

Jasmine turned her warning gaze to the fellow member of the organization. “Do you want to wait until she kills someone?” She narrowed her eyes, judging the man in front of her. “It could be someone else, but it could also be one of your family members. Who knows?”

This was what Jasmine and her father stood up for. They believed that they had to get rid of those shifters and create a world without them.

And their beliefs had strayed too far from the original beliefs of their organization. But since they were the leaders of the organization now, it was hard to remind them of it or turn down their order.

“Kill her now.”

The man looked at the young girl before his eyes and shook his head. “You want to kill her? Do it yourself.”

Jasmine raised her brows. Behind the mask that she was wearing, her lips were curled into a vicious smirk. She stared at the man, as if she were saying; do you think I will not do it?

Without hesitation, Jasmine directed her gun at the white beast and fired.

All the people there were stunned and upon hearing the sound of the gun, they thought they would find the dead body of the little wolf, but as it turned out there was nothing there. The white wolf was gone.

Jasmine had fired at empty space instead.

They were confused, but then they saw the beast behind them, a little distance away from them. But she was not alone, there was someone else with her. A man to be precise.

As if on cue, they rushed toward the silhouette of the man who was putting down the white beast he was holding on the ground once again.

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

Gael didn’t know how long the effects of the poison that Lise gave him would last, but he was annoyed because he felt vulnerable at a moment like this.

One thing was for sure; someone was trying to take his wife away from him and he wouldn’t let it happen. Nobody could take Lise away from him.

Gael might have lost his power for nobody knew how long, but it didn’t mean he was powerless.

As of now, there were around twenty men, fully armed, escorting them toward the emergency exit door, where they would take the stairs to the top building, where a helicopter was waiting for them.

From afar, they could hear the commotion from the direction of the wedding hall, where the guests were being guided to go out of the building. The fancy wedding ended up in the most awkward situation possible. For sure, this would be in the headlines of the news tomorrow.

But, Gael could care less about it, since there were more important things that he had to do.

He had to get out of this place, and bring Lise somewhere else where nobody could reach her or find her. She was his.

“I can’t...” Lise stopped running, she almost fell if it was not for Gael, who caught her body in time. “I can’t run anymore...” she panted and felt the oxygen leave her lungs. She was no longer wearing her wedding dress and now only wore a casual shirt and jeans, so did Gael.

The whole team came to a halt when Lise stopped running on the eighth floor, there were another ten floors for them to climb before they reached the top of the building.

Gael, on the other hand, immediately bent his body and carried her, without losing a beat, as if she weighed nothing. “Move,” he commanded grimly. They wouldn’t stop moving before they reached a safe place.

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

Blue thought she would die when she watched how the girl aimed her gun at her without the slightest doubt in her eyes. She wanted her dead.

But, when the sound of her gun being fired rang through this dark basement, Blue didn’t feel any pain except from her ankle that had been shot already. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

Slowly, she peered her eyes open to look at her surroundings, only to find someone carrying her protectively.

Only then did she breathe in his scent and finally realized who this man was.
