114 WE NEED TO FIND CHAOS

Jenny felt her body shiver in fear when she noticed that there were four men in white lab coats surrounding her. They tied her wrists and ankles to the bed, so she couldn’t move an inch from her position right now.

She was not able to fight back as they injected something into her veins and not long after that she felt her body burn in pain. She screamed at the top of her lungs, as the pain became even more unbearable for her to endure.

“STOP IT! STOP IT!” She cried, pleaded, begged, but none of it could make those people take pity on her. Those men didn’t even flinch when they heard the ear- piercing howls from the poor shifter.

They observed this pregnant shifter and took a note if there was any slight difference in her pulse or heartbeat, yet no one from them even frowned when they cut out a little piece of her flesh for some kind of test.

And yet, they would always admire how the shifter healed very fast, regenerating her own cells at an extreme speed.

This speedy recovery took them by surprise, leading them to think of incorporating such abilities in humans. It would be great if humans could recover as fast as a shifter could.

They could prevent many diseases and heal those who had no longer had hope because of their sickness.

This was a breakthrough for them.

And here they were, wanting the shifter abilities when they hunted them like pests and feared them for their very abilities as well.

How hypocritical the world could be...

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

“You can use the front door, you know,” Gael complained when he found Knox standing inside his chamber, but his annoyance disappeared once he caught sight of Anne.

The old woman was crying silently.

“What did you do to her?” Gael walked across the room and sat beside Anne on the couch, he slung his arm around her shoulders and let her cry. “How could you make her cry like this?”

Gael knew that Anne would rarely cry, he had not even seen her shed a tear for decades, but now, she was crying, it must be something that hurt her very deeply.

“What is it?” Gael was confused, but none of them offered him an explanation. “Hey! At least, you can say something after barging into my room!” Gael was pissed with the silent treatment Knox gave to him.

“You brought the woman.” That was the first statement that came out of Knox’s lips when he finally opened his mouth.

With that, Gael’s body turned stiff and he became defensive. “Yes, why do you ask?”

“She was the one, who pushed Blue from the building,” Knox said rigidly. He knew that it was true once he watched the way Gael became uptight with his response. “You should finish her off.”

Gael narrowed his eyes once he heard that stupid statement. “Don’t you dare lay a finger on her.”

“Or what?” Knox stood up, his body towered over Gael, who was sitting on the couch.

Even after sensing the threatening aura coming from this man and knowing the fact that he wouldn’t be able to overpower him now, since he had been growing weaker by the day, Gael still didn’t give up. He wouldn’t let any harm come to his woman.

There was no way he would put Lise in danger for whatever the reasons were.

“ENOUGH!” Anne roared in anger upon seeing the two of them were ready to bite off each other’s neck. She stood up, glaring at the two creatures in front of her with anger and sadness in her eyes.

She was, by any means, the weaker among the three creatures inside this room, an old woman with no power whatsoever, but she didn’t care about that, since she knew none of the two would attack her.

“Knox, stay away from his woman!” Anne growled, one could mistake her as an alpha female at this rate, as the two men listened to her. “Gael, stop being an a**!”

“Are you asking me to stop being myself?” Gael muttered under his breath, his anger had reduced by half now after hearing Anne’s roar. He knew that she would scold them until the next day came if he tried to rebuke her.

Hearing that answer, Anne straightened her back and wiped her tears harshly with the back of her hands, causing Gael to take a step back.

“All right, all right... I will not say anything.” Gael raised both of his hands at her. “One second, she was crying and now she was all overbearing... an old woman is hard to be understood,” he muttered under his breath.

“You need to come with me,” Knox said, before Anne could land a punch on Gael’s cheek for that comment. “We need to find Chaos.”

Gael frowned deeply. He looked at him intently, as if he didn’t understand what he was saying earlier. “I will not go anywhere.”

Knox had expected that answer. Gael was waiting for Lise to give birth to their child and no matter what he said, he wouldn’t be able to make him budge, therefore he came up with this solution.

“We will leave to find Chaos after you see your child. There is no chance for negotiation in this matter.” Knox walked over to Gael and stood in front of him. “I don’t want to use unnecessary force on you.”

“Try me.” Gael’s eyes hardened when he challenged him.

Knox scoffed, “In your current condition, do you think you can fight me? Think about it again.”

Gael knew that was true. There was no way he could fight him. “Why do we need to find Chaos?”

“We need to stop this madness that he brought to this realm.”

“How?”

“I don’t know.”

“You are a piece of his shattered soul.”

“Yes, but unfortunately, I don’t share the same knowledge and power as much as he possesses.”
