If you want change, you have to invite chaos.

”You asked the wrong person,” Knox said, his dark blue eyes stared at the alpha of the silver river pack intently.

He knew them, but it had been years since their last encounter and he didn't think their paths would cross again, yet apparently, they found themselves in this situation.

”If you want the little girl, you can go to Chaos. She is not mine. She belongs to Chaos.” He leaned his back against the backrest of the chair he was sitting in. They were only separated by a small table, as there were only the three of them inside this room.

”She belongs to us.” Anthony emphasized every word he said. ”She is from our kind. She doesn't belong to any of you.”

Knox shrugged his shoulders. ”Obviously, Chaos doesn't think that way.”

Anthony's expression hardened. They had wasted twenty minutes talking to Knox, so he could bring his niece to him, thus they didn't need unnecessary fighting over something that was clearly his, but unfortunately, just like Gael, Knox didn't want to be involved in this and make the matter easier. He insisted that his niece belonged to Chaos and only that abomination creature could make a decision for the little girl.

”We will take her, no matter what.” Anthony stood up from his seat,. Regardless of how many reasons he threw at Knox's face, he didn't think this man would budge and eventually understand their situation. This man simply didn't care about this matter.

On the other hand, Mateo followed his alpha's gesture. They were ready to leave.

”You are welcome to do as you please.” Knox opened his hands, as a sign that he wouldn't bother to stop him. ”But, this is only a wise reminder from an old friend…” Knox stood up from his seat, so they were at eye level now. ”You know Chaos, violence is his forte.”

You wouldn't want to meet Chaos with violence, as the result would be something unimaginable.

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

Blue was about to walk home with Nikolai when she caught sight of Gael's tacky red car. She squinted her eyes and pretended that she didn't see it.

”White, how long are you going to pretend you didn't see me?” Gael drove the car right beside Blue and Nikolai.

Blue threw him a glare, because he called her white and drove the ugly colored car beside her.

”Get in the car,” Gael said impatiently. He had made time to pick this annoying girl up, thus he wouldn't want to entertain her glaring fit.

”I am walking home with Nikolai,” Blue said sullenly, she ignored the look that Nikolai gave her, asking her to be more polite to this man.

”I can go home alone,” Nikolai said quietly, but then he completely shut his mouth when he got his share of Blue's cynical glare.

”Oh, hey boy, nice to see you.” Gael waved his hand at Nikolai and the little boy shyly waved his back. ”Are you the one for whom she has brought extra lunch for?”

”Oh,” the boy mumbled and his face turned red. ”Yes, I...”

”Great! Do you want to have lunch with uncle? Get in the car.” Gael nodded to the back seat and stopped his car, as he came out to carry Nikolai himself and put him on the backseat.

Blue was about to protest, but Gael had already closed the door and leaned against it.

”If you don't want to go, I will take your little boyfriend with me.” Gael smirked when he watched how Blue hissed, ready to claw his face. He always loved to play with danger and this girl would be a real danger in a matter of years from now on. ”Your choice.”
