Chapter 63 - PLEASE, STAY WITH ME (2/2)

Lise raised her head and looked him right in the eyes, she bit her lips and for some reason, the words that Gael said to her sounded like they had a deeper meaning than what he said.

She will never be able to love him.

That was probably the truth, but… it still sounded strange, as if there was something else, something more significant that he was trying to say.

However, Lise didn't know what to ask, or how she could explain this strange feeling.

”Will you stay with me?” Gael asked her, his voice pleading. He held her hand tightly against his chest. ”Can you stay with me?”

Gael was desperate for her to be with him, to be by his side, but then he remembered that was impossible. The curse had ruined his life and he would never have this chance.

He knew he would lose her even before he realized that he needed her like the air that he breathed.

It was a curse. His curse.

”Please, stay with me…” his voice was gentle and he almost hoped that Lise could feel what he felt when he saw tears streamed down her cheeks.

But then, someone called her name and Lise turned around, and Gael could no longer claim her attention as she saw Sol behind her.

”NO!” Lise immediately stood up when she noticed the two men behind Sol had their guns pointed at Gael. ”No! Don't shoot!”

Lise covered Gael's body with hers; it was a ridiculous move, but she did it out of instinct. Her hair caressed his face and he could smell her shampoo. It was so peaceful to know that she was so close to him.

The fact that she protected him was something that Gael would have never imagined before.

”Lise, you have to move. Stay away from him,” Sol spoke softly to her, but he raised his hand to hold the fire. ”Don't do it. Let them finish it.”

Lise shook her head. ”No, don't kill him, Sol…” She pleaded with him. ”He let you live, so please do the same to him.”

But, before Sol could understand what she was saying, one of the two men behind him started wailing in pain, as the sound of a gun being fired rang in the air.

The moment they shifted their attention, they could see a white beast, trying to tear at the man's arm.
