“When I tell you to abandon me and run for your life, you will do it without question.”

The demand sounded ridiculous even in an eight years old girl’s ears. She shook her head and said firmly. “No.” Her small lips pressed together into a thin line after saying that curt word. Her hazel eyes blazed with determination.

On the other hand, Chaos stared at the feisty little girl before his eyes. The cold wind blew past them and she shuddered slightly. Her white hair was the perfect match to the snowy scenery around them.

“I don’t take ‘no’ for a reply.” His words were final and then he turned around to continue walking again, toward the direction of the gate, while Blue followed behind him.

.....

“You can’t ask me to abandon you,” Blue voiced out her disagreement. She didn’t want to agree with him on this kind of matter.

“My fight is about killing each other, either you help me to kill someone or you run for your life.” Chaos glanced briefly at Blue, who was paying him her full attention. “If you can’t do both, you are useless to me.”

Chaos’s last words hurt her deeply, until she felt her chest caved in. “Even if I can find your shattered soul?” she asked in a pitiful voice, her brows scrunched together. She clutched his jacket again and peered at him, afraid that he would brush off her hand, but Chaos didn’t bother with that.

“Even if you can find my shattered soul,” Chaos repeated her words.

It was not fair for Chaos to use this kind of trick and manipulate the little girl to do his bidding, making her feel guilty.

However, he had lived for a very long time and for better or worse, the line between fair or unfair had already blurred in his mind since ages back.

“I don’t want to abandon you...” Blue felt if she did that. She would only repeat the same thing that happened with her father and that was not a pleasant memory for her. But, she knew her options were limited.

“Then you will kill for me.” Chaos stopped walking all of a sudden. It left Blue confused when she saw him scanning his surroundings.

Before long, the wind blew, only then did Blue realize that they were not alone, there were a few people, no, shifters, had them surrounded.

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

Lise felt her stomach churn when she saw how the two men fought each other.

Not because they exchanged fists and kicks like normal people would have during their close combat, but the fight before her eyes was mind- blowing as the man named Knox, Lise heard Gael addressing him so, summoned fire and threw fireballs at Gael, while the latter effortlessly evaded them.

Gael moved very fast, too fast to say that he was a human. He was not human and absolutely the other man was not either. No human would be able to do magical things like that. It was absurd.

The fight didn’t last long when Knox decided to shift his attention to Lise instead and forfeited his fight with Gael to come at her.

One second Knox was in the middle of the field, fighting Gael, but the next second he was already behind Lise, holding her neck close to him, tilting his head so he could get a better view of her neck and saw the veins throbbing under her skin.

“Don’t ever think of doing that, Knox.” Gael’s voice was clear from all the humor that he always had whenever he was talking to Knox, or the possessive way he was with Lise, and what left was only his strong desire for blood.

Gael looked as if he was ready to tear Knox apart with his bare hands the moment he harmed Lise.

“Why not?” Knox drew his sharp nail across Lise’s neck, he looked Gael straight in the eyes as warm blood trickled down from the cut that he inflicted.

Gael’s eyes fell hardly on Knox’s when he spoke again to answer his question. “Because I will fuck your woman and let her conceive my child, since you are not able to do that.” He raised his brows tauntingly.

Lise didn’t know what the two men were talking about or who Gael would f*ck, but she wanted to get out of this situation, as she could feel the strong killing intent radiating from the man behind her, who was only a mere inch close to unalive her.

“Yes, Knox, I know,” Gael smirked, knowing that he had the upper hand in the situation. “Let my woman go and I will keep the secret about your woman from Chaos.” Gael walked forward, once he was sure that Knox wouldn’t be able to do anything with his own secret at stake. “I would love to see what Chaos would do to your woman once he found out about it, but I want to keep mine as well. So, this is your best choice. Hand her over to me.”

And now, Gael was standing in front of Lise. His eyes darkened when he saw blood on her neck, but he composed himself and faced Knox with a vicious smile plastered on his lips.

“Your choice, my friend,” Gael mocked him.

Lise didn’t think this was the time for them to mock each other, but then her head was already spinning with the unrealistic situation she was in.

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

Gradually, Blue could see some shifters in their human skin and a few in their beast form, approaching them, while more of them lurking from behind the snow, ready to join the battle once it broke out.

Immediately, various scents filled the air, making Blue scrunch her nose unpleasantly, as her eyes were on a man, who was walking ahead toward Chaos, with hostility evident in his eyes.
