[You need to go out from there!] Zake mind- linked his mate once he caught a glimpse of the members of The Hound entering this shopping center.

It was hard to move in this city center, since The Hound had widened their scope to restrain all the shifters that they could find among the people.

It could be said as a genocide mission on the non- human creatures. They wanted to kill them all. And, if they didn't kill them all, they would take some of the supernatural creatures to theirs lab and run various tests on them.

No one knew what they had done there, because no shifter was alive or managed to run away to tell the tale.

On the other hand, Jenny, who received the information from her mate, immediately stood up and took the little girl's hand, so they could run together.

They could find her mother or whoever with her later, as for now they needed to find a safe place first before The Hound found them.

"We need to go from here," Jenny said in panic to Blue. "The Hound is here."

Blue was aware about the new organization that the government had established. The Hound. The main members of that group were the people from the organization, or the green people. Her father always called them the green people for some unknown reason.

"Stay close to me," Jenny said in a low voice, she looked around her cautiously, she was on alert and it could be easily felt by the way her muscles under her skin were strung up.

Meanwhile, Blue kept her pace with her because she knew the danger that would come, once The Hound found them.

And yet, when they were running toward the exit door, the woman that held her hand suddenly stopped and her body went still, before she trembled.

"You are hurting me," Blue said to Jenny. When her grip tightened, she felt her wrist would be crushed if she put more pressure. "It hurts!" Blue wailed, trying to wriggle her hand from her grip.

But a moment later, the woman fell to her knees as her howl echoed in this shopping center, making all the people there pay attention to her.

Jenny was howling and wailing in acute pain, as if she was being tortured.

"NO!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, freed Blue's hand from her grip, as she pulled her hair harshly. "NO!" she growled ferociously.

Blue should be running away from her by now, but she was stunned speechless to see the woman curling her body on the floor and crying her heart out.

It was a mournful wailing.

They were shifters, hence Blue could understand the agony in her howl. It was the reason why she couldn't move her body, though it was only a small part of the pain that she felt from this woman, but it made her eyes teary for no exact reason.

"We need to go," Blue said to the woman, but she ignored her completely. "Aunty, we need to go…" Blue nudged her body, but she growled viciously at her, as though she forgot about her completely.

Right at that moment, the members of The Hound rushed toward them following the sound of Jenny screaming and immediately set a perimeter.

The onlookers immediately understood that the woman was a shifter and probably the little girl, who was standing beside her was one too.

All of this happened very suddenly and Blue didn't have time to hide, as she had been spotted by them. Now she was surrounded, with many armed men, pointing their guns at her and Jenny.

"Is she a shifter?" one of the men asked his fellow member. "Why hasn't she shifted yet?"

The man didn't answer him immediately, as he assessed the situation. "We killed her mate, she feels it and now she is in pain."

They had enough knowledge on how the mate bond worked between the shifters, therefore he could tell this.

"But, it doesn't answer why she doesn't shift into her beast." They came closer to the crying woman and a little girl, who was glaring at them.

"I think she is pregnant," another fellow member of his answered the question. "Female shifters can't shift if they are pregnants, or else they will lose the baby."

"In that case, we can't kill her. The organization wants her alive." And in an instant, the twelve men that surrounded Blue and Jenny changed their way of approaching them.

They had been conducting tests on them and a pregnant shifter was rare to be found, since their mates would be hell-bent on protecting them.

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

Gael promised her that she could walk around the house as she pleased, as long as she didn't go out and leave this house.

Because it was not only because of the fact that Gael had announced she had died, but also for her own safety.

The McKeltar family was under close observation, since the attack on the manor and Lise agreed to that. She didn't know where to go and was too weak and tired to run away from him.

Therefore, they called it a truce. Gael would only ask her to have breakfast with him every morning, but most of the time he would leave her alone, because Lise didn't want to see him.

He had finally explained to Lise about the thing that confused her the most; 'I love you and will always love you and I do not regret a single moment in my life that lead me to you, except when I put you in so much pain and the fact that you will never be able to reciprocate my feelings.'

Lise still contemplated those words even now, as her feet led her to a room, where she found the man sleeping tiredly on the couch.

Gael's brows furrowed slightly, indicating that even in his sleep, he was not able to rest peacefully…
