She smelled coffee from him, but it was not exactly him.

"Shift," Knox ordered her as he put her down and covered her with his jacket, so she wouldn't be naked when she returned to her human skin.

Blue said nothing and followed his order. She looked at him with teary eyes and a red face. It was very painful, the bullet was still inside her ankle and it was getting in the way of her healing ability.

"It hurts," she whimpered, wiping her face roughly with the back of her hands, as she felt Knox's hand hover above her wound.

Even though they were in the darkness, it was not a problem for Knox to check on her wound. His face darkened when he saw her bloody ankle, his jaw clenched tightly. He even ignored the fact those people approached him with their guns aimed at him.

"Stay still," Knox said, as he put his hand above the wound and the bullet that was buried deeply in her flesh slowly moved. He pulled the bullet without touching it.

Blue hugged his arms and cried silently when she felt the bullet move, she would have jerked her leg, if it was not for Knox who was holding it steadily.

"It hurts…" she repeated her words, as her claws dug into his shoulder, because she couldn't bear the pain.

Knox said nothing, he was more focused on getting the bullet out.

"FIRE!" Jasmine ordered the rest of the people to open fire at Blue and Knox, it was a close range shot, therefore, it was almost impossible for Knox or Blue to dodge it.

But, maybe you didn't need to wait for a miracle to happen when you could create one.

The bullets stopped mid- air before they could touch or hurt them, or even get close to any one of them.

Upon seeing that, Jasmine and the other men were stunned, but since they knew the ability of this creature, it was expected. Their expressions turned hard when they realized who their opponent was.

On the other hand, once the bullet came out from Blue's ankle, Knox closed his fist hard, as if he was crushing the bullet with his bare hand.

And in the next moment, the bullet blew into a million pieces, along with the bullets that were aimed at him and Blue, those ammo turned into dust.

After that, Knox helped the progress of her healing. It only took three seconds for her wounds to close and her skin turned as smooth as before she was shot.

"It's fine now, you can stop clawing at me." Knox patted her small shoulder and Blue blinked her eyes, as a big fat tear rolled down her cheek.

She looked at her ankle and moved it, it didn't hurt anymore, and then she stood up and tried to take a tentative step, and found it didn't hurt.

"Thank you," Blue said softly, rubbing her face to get rid of any traces of the tears, while glaring at the people in front of her. "They shot me." She pointed an accusatory finger at them.

"Didn't Chaos tell you to not come to the wedding?" Knox stood up and looked down at Blue. His gaze showed her that he was annoyed.

But Blue didn't feel like she had done something wrong. "No." She didn't want to be blamed for something that she didn't do. "Gael said, Chaos told me to have fun at the wedding."

Knox closed his eyes to contain his agitation. He knew where the problem was.

"If you are done talking to her, you can hand her over to us," Jasmine said, her voice was hard and demanding. "I know who you are, Knox. Hand her over and we will not have any problem."

Knox's eyes flickered when he heard that voice, since he knew who the woman under the mask was, but of course it was not her, though they shared the same face and voice. They were different.

"If you know me, you should know that your shabby weapons mean nothing to me," Knox replied, he took Blue's hand and walked away from those people.

However, before he could take his second step, from the other side of this basement, he could see another party that had come here to take Blue away.

"Is today really a wedding day?" Knox mumbled under his breath when he noticed Alpha Anthony and the members of his pack blocking the other way.

Now, Knox and Blue were standing in the middle of the people, who wanted to take her away.

One wanted to take her because they were from the same kind, while the other party wanted to take her life because she was from a different kind from them.

It didn't seem like a wedding at all, when all the people gathered around to spill as much blood as they could. Knox wondered what kind of hurdle that Gael was facing right now…

================== 

Gael arrived at the top of the building when he was greeted by dozens of people that had hijacked the helicopter that he would use to escape with Lise.

His eyes turned dark when he saw the man, who had kidnapped his woman not so long ago.

Sol took off his mask and the night vision goggles from his head. As the light from the surrounding buildings flashed on his face, they could see the hatred in his expression.

"You should have killed me at that time, because now, I will kill you," Sol hissed in anger. He glanced at Lise, who was in his embrace and it didn't help to soothe his outrage at all.

Gael smirked at him. "Do you think you can kill me now that you have succeeded in outnumbering me?"

"I will kill you and I will take her," Sol said grimly.

"If I can't have her, no one can." Gael put down Lise and pressed a gun to her head.
