Chapter 36 - AGONY (1/2)

The higher I get, the lower I'll sink.

I can't drown my demons, they know how to swim.

”No, I don't love him.”

Sol knew that those words were not true, he could see it right in her eyes. From the way she cried, the tears that streamed down her cheeks and how she averted her gaze after saying it.

However, the pain still pierced his heart fiercely and the fact that he was laying down on the ground without being able to reach her was another pain that gnawed at his mind. His ego was hurt and he wouldn't let it slide.

He would hunt down that man at the first chance he was given, especially when Sol knew one thing…

”HE IS NOT A HUMAN!” He roared, ignoring the scorching pain in his throat when he stretched his neck to catch a glimpse of Lise's eyes.

Once he said those words, the four people that pinned him down to the ground guffawed, as their laughter echoed in this cold night.

”Of course he is not human, he is a McKeltar, the most successful young businessman!” one of them ridiculed him and the other three hurled more insults at him.

However, amidst their ridiculing, Sol realized one thing; Lise already knew that the man was not human. She didn't think he was bluffing when he said that.

But, how?

The fact that Lise had known about other supernatural creatures that walked side by side with the humans, surprised him even more.

People, aside from those who had interacted with the supernatural creatures or people from the organization, wouldn't have known that there were non- human beings, such as werewolves, devils and other creatures that existed. They were only myths in a normal human's eyes.

But, Lise knew.

Sol could see understanding and fear in her beautiful eyes which were now trying to avoid his own. But, how? Did this creature have done something to her? It was not normal for the non- human existence to reveal their true self, since it was their nature to avoid being exposed.

And as if the creature was aware of Sol's confusion, Gael walked toward him.

”Stay there babe, I don't want you to get closer to him.” His expression turned rigid and his voice became hard when he saw Lise was about to defy his order. ”I will not have more patience for you, Lise. One step closer and he will die in the next second.”

Lise stood frozen, her eyes trained on Sol's enraged expression. The man was still trying to get away from the man on top of him, but it was simply hard to turn the tables around when you were in a disadvantageous position and were outnumbered.

”I will kill you, pest!” Sol hissed dangerously. He looked feral, while Gael moved closer to him.

Lise had never seen Sol being so riled up like this before. She had seen him angry, but that was nothing close to this.

”Pest?” Gael raised his brows, with a vicious smirk gracing his lips. He grabbed his jaw which rendered him unable to move, before he lowered his head and whispered into his ears, so it was only him who could hear his next words. ”That's what you call my kind?”

Gael admitted it.
