Untamed: The Alpha

"Stay here," Gael didn't answer him, he ruffled his hair and walked into the infirmary. His eyes were fixed on Blue as he greeted Ms. Sophia and the principal. "What happened to my niece?"

All of them were shocked, but they greeted Gael politely when they saw him.

"Uncle Gael…" Blue sobbed, she raised both of her arms, as if asking to be carried. She wanted to be cuddled since her knees were injured. For now, she looked like a normal child, who sought comfort from the people that she knew.

Gael was taken aback, after all he had never seen Blue act so natural and normal like this, especially to act so pitifully and childishly, she rarely looked like a child to be honest.

Not only Gael, even Nikolai was surprised to see this side of Blue that he had never known.

"Come here, my cute little pie." Gael played along with her and carried Blue in his arms, as she rested her head on his shoulder and then sobbed again. "What happened to her?" his voice raised, as he glared at the teacher and the principal.

The principal hurriedly explained it to Gael. He had met Knox McKeltar before, so he didn't want to be on their wrong side.

"Blue was afraid because we needed to take a sample of her blood for a test," the principal spoke politely, and even introduced the two men there, telling Gael that they were the people from the government. "We just want to make sure that no children in this school are in harm's way and we are free from non- human being's children."

Gael felt disgusted when he heard that explanation, they talked about the non- human children as if they were a disease and needed to be eradicated immediately.

How could they think so shallow like that? They had been living together side by side for centuries, but only now their existence was known. And these humans were acting as if they were the greatest and righteous ones, who needed to save their own kind.

Such hypocrites!

"So, what do you want from her?" Gael asked them. "Her blood?"

"Yes, we need to take a sample of her blood," the man from the government said politely, because they knew children in this school were coming from prestigious families, though they had a heads up about the McKeltar family.

"Sure, you can take it," Gael agreed readily and for a second, Blue stopped her fake crying and lifted her head, blinking her eyes, because she didn't understand his intention. How could he allow them to take her blood?

Did he not understand the reason why they wanted to take her blood?

But, Gael pressed her head to rest on his shoulder again. "You can relax, it's okay, it will end soon."

Blue frowned, but no one could see it, since her face was pressed against his shoulder, out of everyone's line of sight.

"Okay, can I have her hand, please," the man said, stretching his hand to take Blue's, as the little girl was trying to swat his hand away again.

"You can relax, everything will be fine," Gael reassured her again.

Only then, Blue gave her hand to that man, letting them do whatever they needed to do with her blood. If Gael said that it was fine, then it meant he must have already thought of something, right?

In the doorway, Nikolai was watching everything that was happening inside the infirmary nervously, he didn't want them to take Blue away or anyone to know that she was not a human being, for that matter.

"Okay, it's done!" the man said cheerfully, as he gave the sample of her blood to the other man for it to be checked.

"See, it doesn't hurt, right Blue?" Ms. Shopia said proudly, she rubbed her back, so she could stop sobbing.

People inside the room were still thinking that Blue was crying because she had gotten an injection right after injuring her knee. The thing that they didn't know was; Blue's injured knees had already healed.

However, before the other man could receive it, Gael had taken the small tube and talked to Blue cheerfully.

"Look, it does not hurt, right? Here, it's your blood," Gael said, waving the tube in front of Blue, as the little girl glared at him.

All the people grimaced when Gael showed the tube that had Blue's blood to the little girl.

"Mr. McKeltar, I think you don't need to do that, she will be scared if you show it to her," Ms. Shopia said carefully, while taking the tube and giving it back to the man from the government.

"Oh, I am sorry, I just love to tease her," Gael said apologetically. "So, can we go home now?"

"Please wait for a little while. Just until the result comes out," the man said to him, pointing at a chair nearby, but Gael shook his head.

"It's okay, I will stand." Gael put down Blue and took her hand, as both of them stared at the tube and watched it turn green.

The man smiled at Gael and Blue. "Okay, you can go now."

On the other hand, Blue was surprised that her blood turned out to be human's blood, but how could it be? She was a shifter, right? She was tempted to shift into her white wolf just to prove that she was a shifter.

However, before Blue could do something dangerous like that, Gael was actually making a dangerous remark on her innocently.

"Oh, so she is not a shifter?" Gael laughed at them. "I thought she was a werewolf, since she loved to bite  me everytime she was annoyed."

All of them laughed at that statement, they thought he was joking around, but actually, Gael was just saying the fact.

"She is so cute," Ms. Shopia said, ruffling Blue's hair, but the little girl avoided her hand and hid behind Gael's back.

"Okay, so, can we go now?" he asked them again, making sure that it didn't look like he was trying to escape from this mess.
