Chapter 43 - STAY BY MY SIDE

"Poison," she said heartlessly. Her voice was so low that it almost sounded like a whisper, so no one could hear her except for the girl in the wedding dress.

Lise was shocked when she heard what the woman said. "Poison?" She repeated in disbelief. Her grip on the small bottle loosened, but the young lady grabbed her hand to tighten it, so it wouldn't be dropped.

"Keep it." She looked at her with a meaningful gaze. "This is the only way for you to escape from him."

Lise could feel her heart pounding rapidly. She was having difficulty breathing just like when she was in panic, or one could say that she was indeed panicking now.

Seeing her reaction, the young woman slightly frowned. "You don't want to be free from him?"

Lise shook her head. "I want to be free from him." Her voice was shaking, as well as her whole body. While the bottle in her grip was akin to a hot pot, she wanted to throw it away.

"Great, then this is your only chance," the young woman said firmly. She suddenly smiled at her sweetly, complimenting her hair when another dresser walked past them, but her expression turned stoic once there was no one watching them. "Do it right."

Lise wanted to be free from Gael, but to kill him… she didn't think that she could do something vicious to that extent. She was still a human and to kill another person was not an easy feat, even after what he had done to her…

Even though he was not a human…

Probably, the young woman saw the hesitation in Lise's eyes when she explained the task to her, because a moment later she sought for affirmation from her.

"Do you think you can pull it off?" And then she added another statement to harden her heart. "If something goes wrong in this setting, the whole plan will fail and Sol will be in danger."

The mention of Sol's name made Lise feel more miserable. There was no way she wanted something bad to happen to her childhood friend, but she didn't know for sure if she wanted to kill Gael.

"Can you?" the woman pressed further for an answer.

Lise tightened her hold on the small bottle in her grip and nodded her head. "I can," she said, though her heart was still uncertain.

"Just two drops will be enough," she said for one last time before she left her.

And before Lise could ask her anything more she was gone and was replaced by another dresser, who wanted Lise to twirl twice, so she could admire the dress.

Lise gripped onto the bottle in her hand tightly, as she followed whatever they said with a blank mind and pounding heart.

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

Since the incident with the boy and Knox came to the school to deliver a little bit of a threat to the boy's parents if they were interested enough to sue him for the fight between the two children, there seemed to be no one who wanted to mess with Blue.

She could no longer hear the words such as; an illegitimate child or white witch, because she had white hair.

Apparently their parents reprimanded their children for messing with the McKeltar family, as the girl was not an abandoned child from that prominent family. They cared for her and thus, no one wanted to take the McKeltar's bad side.

Meanwhile, Blue wasn't particularly happy about this turn of events. She didn't like to be called names, but she liked to fight. She liked to beat the a**** of those stupid boys, who dared to mock her. It helped her to vent out her edginess as she was not able to shift into her wolf form whenever she felt like it.

As she spent almost two years in her wolf form, she felt a little bit antsy when she had to stay in her human form for a long time.

Since there was no shifter inside the house, she couldn't ask how to handle this urge.

And when she left class during the day, because she had to move classes for every other subject, Blue met with someone unexpected in her math class, which was the last class during that day.

It was a new transfer student with a skinny appearance and dark hair. He had dark blue eyes, just like Chaos' and smelled like him too.

The boy sat next to her, because there was no one who wanted to be her friend, since she was too 'rude' to her other friends.

"Hello, I am Nikolai," the boy said, introducing himself, but the only thing that Blue could focus on was his scent. His coffee scent…

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

"Do I scare you?" Gael whispered into her ear, as his hand touched her inner thigh, lifting the wedding dress that she was wearing to her hips.

Gael appeared all of a sudden to see her in this gown, though this morning he said he had a bunch of meetings to attend to.

It was weird, but Gael would always tell her what he would do or where he would leave for the day, though she never asked, or even cared.

"Please stop it…" Lise bit her lips, she stared at his shoulder instead, because she couldn't see him in the eyes. "People will see."

"No one will see us, it's only the two of us here…" his voice became hoarse as his warm breath caressed her bare shoulder.

Everyone else left the room once he appeared and no one would disturb their moment, but Lise simply didn't want to be touched by him.

"Please Gael, stop it."

Lise kept refusing him, albeit she knew that he wouldn't listen, but a miracle actually happened when Gael dropped his hand and smoothened her crumpled dress.

"Okay," he said softly and kissed both of her cheeks gently. "What else do you want from me? I will give you the world if you want it. The only thing I want is for you to be by my side, can you do that?"
