Jenny felt her body shivered in fear when she watched there were four men in their white lab coat surrounded 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 when they injected something to her veins and not long after that she felt her body burned in pain. She screamed on 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 took a pity on her. Those men didn't even flinch when they heard an ear- piercing howl 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 frown when they cut a little piece of her flesh for some kind of test.
And yet, they would always admire on how the shifter healed very fast, regenerated their wounds in an extreme sped.
This speedy recovery took them in awe, as they thought to make an experiment for human. It would be great if human could recover as fast as the shifter could.
They could prevent many diseases and healed those who had no longer had hope because of their sickness.
This was a breakthrough for them.
And here, they wanted the shifter abilities when they hunted them like pest and feared them for their very abilities as well.
How hypocrite the world could be…
====================
"You can use the front door, you know," Gael complained when he found out Knox was inside his chamber, but his annoyance disappeared once he caught a 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 shoulder and let her cried. "How could you make her crying like this?"
Gael knew that Anne was rarely crying, he even had not yet seen her shed a tear for decades, but now, she was crying, it must be something that hurt her the most.
"What is it?" Gael was confused, but none of them offered him an explanation. "Hey! At least you can say something after barging inside my room!" Gael was pissed with the silence treatment that Knox gave to him.
"You keep 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 to lay a finger on her."
"Or what?" Knox stood up, his body towered over Gael, who was sitting on the couch.
Seeing the threat that came from this man and knowing the fact that he wouldn't be able to overpower him now, since he grew weaker every 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 in whatever the reasons were.
"ENOUGH!" Anne roared in anger to see the two of them were ready to bite off each other neck. She stood up, glaring at the two creatures in front of her with anger and sadness in her eyes.
She was, by any meant, 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 no one from them would attack her.
"Knox, stay away from his woman!" Anne growled, one could be mistaken her as an alpha female in this rate, as the two men listened to her. "Gael, stopped being an a**!"
"Are you asking me to stop being myself?" Gael muttered under his breath, his anger had evaporated in half now after hearing Anne's roar. He knew that she would scold them until the new day came if he was trying to rebuke her.
Hearing that answer, Anne straightened her back and wiped her tears harshly with the back of her hand, rendering Gael to take a step back.
"All right, all right… I will not say anything." Gael raised both of his hands at her. "One seconds 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 for that comment. "We need to find Chaos."
Gael frowned deeply. He looked at him intently, as if he didn't understand with 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 will be no 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 we need to find Chaos?"
"We need to stop this madness that he brought to this realm."
"How?"
"I don't know."
"You are his shattered soul."
"Yes, but unfortunately, I don't share the same knowledge and power as much as he posseses."
