Chapter 34 - I DON'T LOVE HIM

I am every nightmare you've ever had. I am your worst dream come true. I am everything you were ever afraid of.

-IT, Stephen King-

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

Lise felt disgusted when Gael bit her lips hard, as if that was the punishment that she deserved for daring enough to run away with another man.

She tried to push him hard, as she punched his chest with her fists, but Gael pulled her closer and trapped both of her hands between his chest and hers.

"Fight me and I will pull the trigger," Gael warned her, smirking in their kiss, feeling satisfied for showing how he owned this girl completely to that jerk. "You know that I am serious about this, right babe?"

A tear streamed down from the corner of Lise's eyes, as she fought her feelings when she heard how Sol screamed in anguish. She didn't know what Gael's men were doing to him, but it could be said for sure that he was still alive and that was all that mattered.

"Please take me away from here, please…" Lise whimpered, she begged him. It was very humiliating for her to be treated by Gael like this. "Please…"

Gael bit her bottom lip hard until both of them could taste blood, only then he ended the kiss, but didn't let go of her body.

He breathed down her neck and enjoyed the curses that were thrown at him. Sol's screams sounded like a dying animal's wails and Gael was more than willing to end his misery, but Lise wouldn't like the idea.

"Look at me," Gael ordered and Lise immediately raised her head to look at him, she knew better not to give him more reasons to punish her. "Do you like him?" he asked.

"No," Lise answered readily, she choked in her tears, but braced herself to look at Gael straight in his eyes. Hatred was an understatement to describe what she felt toward him at the moment. If she was given a chance, she would be more than willing to go and bring the dagger that Gael had given her before and rip his heart out of his chest.

Hearing that, Gael turned Lise's body around and forced her to look at Sol.

The moment Lise's eyes landed on the man, she couldn't help but bite her lips to stop herself from crying, her body trembled so hard when she saw him.

Four men were trying to pin him down to the ground, rendering her childhood friend unable to move, a gun was pointed at his head and a knife was on his neck. Blood dripped to the ground as the blade cut his skin.

Lise cried, she tried to run to his side, but Gael held her tight at her waist. Lise then frantically looked around her to find any help that she could, but this place was deserted, without a single soul around. If there were people, they were too far away from them to hear her cries for help.

However, the most terrifying thing for Lise was the fact that Sol didn't care about the fact that his life was hanging by a thread. He glared furiously at Gael and didn't stop cursing at him.

His eyes were filled with bone chilling murderous intent, which made Gael more than happy to provoke him even further. It was a pleasure to see such desperation on both of their faces.

"Please, please, make them stop…" Lise was practically begging Gael, she would have knelt down on her feet if he didn't hold her.

"Love," he called her gently, gave away the gun to one of his men and then wiped away her tears. "I know that I told you I love it when you beg me, but it doesn't mean you can beg me for another man, don't you think that's f*cked up?" His face was impassive, he looked almost bored.

Lise felt her life had narrowed to the blood that had pooled on the ground. Sol's blood.

"So, do you love him?" Gael asked, he was standing right behind her. She could even feel his sturdy chest flushed against her back.

Lise shook her head, trying to not cry.

"Answer me with your words, sweety."

An agonized scream rang through her mind, but when she finally spoke, her voice sounded calm. "No, I don't love him."

"Where is Blue?" Anne asked Knox when she found the man at the dining table alone, reading something on his laptop while eating his dinner.

"Inside her room," he replied without averting his gaze from the email that he was reading.

Anne felt a little bit suspicious, because she had not seen the girl after she returned from school. She heard that something had happened, but this was not the first time for Blue to fight with other students.

Therefore, without asking any further, Anne immediately walked toward her room and knocked on the door, but there was no answer from inside.

"Blue, it's me," Anne spoke from behind the door. "Dinner is ready, do you want to eat inside your room?"

Still, there was no answer. In the end, Anne decided to open the door which, fortunately, was not locked and entered the room.

Once she was inside, it was easy enough to spot the little girl. She was hiding under the blanket, under her bed.

It was her habit the first time she came to this house, but she had not done it ever since Anne told her that she was safe here.

"Blue, what happened?" Anne pulled the blanket from her, but what she found slightly startled her.

What she saw was a small white wolf, curled itself like a ball, as her hazel eyes stared at her.

"What's going on?" Anne laid down on the floor, so she would be at eye level with her. "Will you shift back and talk to me?"

However, the white beast shook her head.

"Do you want me to tell you a story?"
