UNTAMED: THE ALPHA

111 WHY DON'T WE KILL HER?

Lise walked down the corridor late at night because she couldn't fall asleep with a lot of things roaming around her mind, therefore she came out to get fresh air when she saw a room with its door slightly ajar.

Lise walked past it, but then she stopped in her tracks when she realized it was Gael, who was sleeping on a couch, his head tilted in a strange angle that made her furrow her brows.

He would get a strained neck if he continued sleeping in that position for a long time.

Somehow, Lise even managed to see the wrinkle on his brows and the way he breathed heavily, as if even in his sleep, he couldn't get enough peace.

Lise pushed the door wider and walked quietly inside the room.

But, she stopped in the middle of the room and contemplated for a while whether she needed to continue to look at him or she could just leave the room immediately, since it was clear that she had nothing to do even if she entered the room.

However, Lise saw a blanket that was left by someone on top of a small table and a tray with a cup of cold coffee that had not been touched, not too far from it, on the round table, there was another tray with a sumptuous meal that was only eaten a little.

It seemed Gael was too busy to even take care of himself.

This man sure had to deal with an excessive amount of work to ensure the safety of his identity, while he strove to accommodate her and put her out of harm's way.

Thinking about it, at this rate, at least Lise could feel slight affection for him, or at least she could sympathize with his current condition, but she was not able to do it.

Was it because of the curse that he mentioned before? About the one that he loved the most wouldn't be able to return his feelings?

Lise was not sure if that was the case, yet when she watched him right now, for the first time in a very long time, she didn't see a monster. She saw a man, who was too tired from a long battle and now he just needed to take his time to rest, yet he was still not able to do that. He was restless even in his sleep.

How could someone lead a life like that?

With a deep sigh, Lise walked toward the blanket and took it into her arms, it felt soft to the touch and gave the warmth that Gael would need.

Slowly and carefully, Lise walked toward Gael and put the blanket over his body.

At first, she thought Gael would wake up, but it seemed, his breathing only became even, since he felt the warmth of it while his wrinkled brows relaxed.

Lise was supposed to walk out of the room immediately and didn't care about him, but she stayed there for a little bit longer, as she watched him in his sleep.

He was not like the horrible man in her memories now, instead, he looked like a child. Lise wondered, how could someone as cold as him could have that kind of expression when he was sleeping, he looked harmless.

After that, Lise decided to leave and go back to her room, since it was already late and she felt sleepy as she watched him sleeping.

However, little did she know, Gael opened his eyes when he heard the soft sound of the door being closed and stared at the blanket on his body. His sleepy eyes softened and there was even a gentle smile on his lips…

He had been awake since the moment Lise walked into the room, but he stayed still because he realized it was her in an instant.

He wanted to know what she was going to do, he wondered if she would kill him in his sleep. If Gael were her and he got a chance to kill someone he hated the most, he wouldn't give up that chance.

But when Gael thought about it again, it would be better if he had his life end in Lise's hands, it was more likely to be a beautiful end for his wretched life.

Yet, when he felt the warmth of the blanket that Lise put around his body, it took everything in him to not open his eyes and ruin his pretense.

Why would she do that? Didn't she hate him?

Gael stared at the blanket. Would that be possible? Or he just wanted to believe there was a chance for him?

It would be so cruel to get his hopes too high before them being crushed by reality…

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

Blue felt all the muscles in her body turn very numb, as her head was very dizzy. The only thing that kept her awake was the blinding lights from the cars on the street that shone through the car window.

Around her, four men were talking back and forth. They didn't seem to notice that the little white hair girl had regained consciousness.

Blue remembered she fought those men in her beast form, but then one of them shot her, she thought she would bleed, as she waited for the pain to come, but then there was no pain, only a numb feeling and without her realizing it, she had shifted back into her human form, as they put a blanket around her body and carried her away.

Blue still could hear the wailing sounds of the woman, before they did something and she went very silent, but there was no way for her to see what they had done to her.

"Why don't we kill this little monster?" one of the men asked his superior, while giving Blue a disgusting look. "I can understand why we didn't kill the woman, because she is pregnant and she will be a great subject for experimentation, but this little girl…" He scoffed. "We have enough shifters in the lab."
