Untamed: The Alpha
Chapter 89

89 BECAUSE HE IS MY FATHER

“Do you want to hear a story?” Anne asked, she always wanted a child of her own, but she was not able to have one, as her heart was still longing for someone that she couldn’t have.

It was crazy, but she couldn’t bear not seeing him.

Therefore, she knew exactly what Blue felt right now. She had felt the same feeling as her for almost her entire life.

“I don’t want to hear any stories...” Blue buried her face inside the blanket, as she stared at Anne sullenly. She wanted to know where Chaos was.

“Okay, so what do you want?”

“Can you sing for me? It helps me to fall asleep, aside from listening to your story...”

Later, there was a soft sound, almost sad as Anne sang for her.

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

Today was the first day of school and Blue wasn’t really excited to go.

.....

“Don’t go to school,” Gael tried to discourage her, but he didn’t tell her the reason behind it.

“If you don’t want to tell me the reason, I will not listen to you.” Blue finished her breakfast and slung her backpack, looking stubborn like usual.

“Those monsters will look for you,” he finally said.

Blue knew what monsters Gael indicated. He believed that those monsters were Chaos’ mistake, some kind of retribution because Chaos had saved her life.

“No, let her go to school.” Knox came out of his room, looking splendid as usual. Since Chaos was not around, he was not as secretive as before when it came to his woman.

July...

Blue liked her. She watched all of her movies.

“Why? Are you trying to argue with me again about this?” Gael might have believed that the monsters were after Blue, but Knox did not.

‘Why would they chase after her? There is nothing special about her.’

Those words slightly offended the little girl, as the argumentation usually would go around the same reasons and the same things.

“I want to go to school. Knox said I can go to school.” Blue voiced out her opinion.

“Why do you listen to him more than you listen to me?” Gael growled in frustration. He was sure that between him and Knox, he was her favorite. But why did she keep siding with him?

“Because he is my father.” Blue then added when she saw a disgusting look cross Knox’s face. “On the paper.”

Gael laughed out loud when he heard that and raised both thumbs at her, while Knox didn’t appreciate that at all.

Father my a**.

Blue continued with her breakfast, ignoring both of them.

“I will drive you and pick you up, so don’t go anywhere before I come,” Gael warned her.

“Okay,” Blue agreed readily, since Gael had changed his car to a black one. It was better than his tacky red car from before.

Silently, Blue thanked the minotaur for destroying that cringy car.

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

Blue found Nikolai when she was at her locker, the boy seemed to be waiting for her there. His eyes couldn’t hide the excitement, though he was too shy to show it.

“Blue...” Nikolai called her name awkwardly.

“Morning Nikolai,” Blue greeted him back and she noticed something; a month of not seeing each other and the boy had grown taller than her by a few inches. She was sure that the first time they met, she was taller than him.

She didn’t really like it as he outgrown her.

“Oh, morning,” he said and then followed behind her.

“We have the same class today?” Blue looked at Nikolai questioningly because he was following her.

“No.” He shook his head.

“Then, why are you following me?”

Nikolai shifted his legs nervously, and as he lifted his head, he had a bad idea. “Why don’t we skip the class?”

This was the first time Nikolai asked her to do that, because before it would be Blue, who was asking him to accompany her to skip classes.

“No, today is the first day, I don’t want to skip class.”

“Then, can I ask you a question?”

“What?” she asked impatiently.

“I saw a white wolf, the night when that... thing attacked us...” he didn’t know what to call that monster, people told him that it was a minotaur. However, as that thing appeared out of thin air, when police came and inquired about it, no one could say for sure.

Yet, the video of that night had been streaming online. People couldn’t stop talking about it. Some believed it, the others didn’t even seem to entertain the thought of it being an original video at all.

“I am the white wolf,” Blue immediately said, cutting him off. “But, don’t tell this to anyone.”

Nikolai gasped loudly, his dark blue eyes widened in surprise because he didn’t believe that Blue would admit it just like that.

“Of course, of course.” He nodded eagerly. “I have told Vanessa to not say anything about this too.”

“Good. Now, do you want to skip the class?” Blue asked, squinting her eyes.

“No, I just wanted to ask that,” he said truthfully.

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

Gael closed his eyes as he waited for Blue to come out of her school, because he had promised her that he would pick her up, but he forgot that the little girl was always with this nerd boy.

Behind her, Nikolai followed Blue like a stray little puppy with sparkle in his eyes.

It went without saying that he needed to drop Nikolai first before they could go home, fortunately, his house was in the same way as theirs.

Therefore, with or without him, Gael needed to drive past that area.

“Good afternoon Mr. McKeltar,” Nikolai greeted him.

“Afternoon boy, get inside,” he said when he noticed him being hesitant.

“It’s okay, I can go back home alone,” he said nicely, but Blue simply opened the car door and literally pushed him inside as the poor Nikolai landed face first on the back seat.

“Are you trying to kidnap him?” Gael asked Blue when she was buckling her seatbelt.

“I simply want to make it easy for him. He has been pestering me for the whole day, just to ask about the monster,” she complained.
