Untamed: The Alpha

99 SUDDEN DISAPEARANCE

Gael would spend his time beside Lise, even when he had to work, if he could do something without being present, he would do it next to her.

He didn’t want Lise out of his sight, since he didn’t feel relaxed whenever he was away from her.

“Love, I just picked Blue up from school and I did a little trick with her blood when the people from the government wanted to run a check on her,” he told her everything about his day patiently, as he held her hand and listened to her heartbeat. “But I managed to trick them with my magic. If you are awake, you would probably get angry at me because you want them to find all the non- human beings like me and eradicate us from this realm, but I can’t do that.”

Gael kissed her knuckles solemnly and caressed her cheeks.

“Because if they do it, I will not be able to see you again.” Gael stared at her, his eyes looked very bitter. “I know I am very selfish for wanting you to be mine alone, but... can you understand me? Can you understand me and stay with me? I will give you everything, just for you to be with me... can you do it?”

Gael then laughed wryly. He shook his head.

“I just want to see you wake up, love...” He gritted his teeth. “How long will you punish me like this? I will not mind if you want to punch me or stab me. I would love for you to do it instead of being like this...”

The doctor had done everything they could to cleanse her blood from whatever drugs that those people had given her, but she was still in a comatose state even after a month had already passed.

Gael lowered his head and looked at her pale face.

.....

He stayed like that for a few more hours until the sun went down and he heard the sound of his phone ringing. It was Nathen.

“What is it?” Gael asked immediately, but his expression turned dark as a low growl could be heard inside this room when he suddenly stood up. “I will be there in a minute.”

And then, Gael walked out of the room. But unbeknownst to him, a second later, Lise opened her eyes.

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

“Come with me,” Knox said softly, as he drew mindless circles on July’s naked back. She looked sleepy with her skin flushed red while her lips were swollen. There were dozens of missed calls on her phone, since she was too ‘busy’ to answer them.

“Where?” July asked, her voice was very soft and Knox would love to hear it for the rest of his eternity. “Do you want to take me on a vacation?”

Knox nodded. “A long vacation.”

“Where?”

“Anywhere you like to go.”

July contemplated for a while and didn’t give any response until Knox thought she had fallen asleep, but then she spoke again.

“Okay, but after my movie.”

Knox took a deep breath and pulled her closer to him, as he kissed her ears and made her wriggle in his arms.

“Don’t kiss my ears,” she complained, because that was her sensitive spot, and glared at Knox sleepily, she looked like a cat that had been overfed.

“So, where do you want me to kiss you?” Knox asked in his hoarse tone, he flipped her body, as he landed a soft kiss on her jaw, chin and then down her neck.

July giggled when he kissed her collarbone and then went down on her body.

Knox kissed her hand, nipping on her fingers and they repeated what they had done earlier countless times. Despite July’s protests, Knox shut her up effectively.

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

July woke up in the middle of the night when she felt that she was alone. Her hand stretched out to her side, but she couldn’t find Knox there. His side was cold, indicating he had been gone for a long time.

She frowned and tried to hear the sound of running water from the bathroom or any other movement around her, but she didn’t hear any of it.

When she was sure that she was alone, she opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings. This hotel room was very empty and huge when it was just her.

Knox’s presence had completely made her forget about everything around her. But, where was he now?

“Knox?” July got off the bed and took her dress from the floor, as she walked barefooted toward every part of this room, but couldn’t find him.

It was strange for Knox to leave her alone like this. Usually, he would wake her up first and let her know where he would go before he left her, even though she would only wake up for a moment and fall asleep again, but at the very least, she knew that he left.

July bit her lip and took her phone from the drawer, as she ignored the dozens of missed-calls there, she would explain her situation to her co- workers later, because now she needed to call him.

July had a very bad feeling with the way Knox left her, especially when he didn’t pick up her phone and his clothes could no longer be found.

“Where are you?” July gritted her teeth, she punched in another number, but it went to voicemail.

July knew that the organization that her father led had merged with the government, as they announced it as The Hound.

The problem with the supernatural creatures had become very serious, but July always thought that Knox was too strong for them to be taken down, therefore she didn’t really care about that and yet, their proposal to test all the people that were suspected to be non- human beings had been on the move now...

It was only a matter of time before the McKeltar family became the target, especially when they knew that Gael McKeltar was a supernatural creature.
