CHAPTER 18

Kael's POV.

There was no cause for alarm and I felt like this stranger in front of me could figure it out. It was just a scare and that was why I maintained that everyone remained in here without having external contact with anyone outside.

It wasn't supposed to be too hard for them to understand that I was trying to keep them protected for the longest but it seemed like she had another idea and I wanted to hear it.

I had not been stimulated in the past few weeks like I was by this stranger and that sent a wrong signal down my spine.

Selene could feel my attention on the stranger and she hated it but sadly there was nothing she could do to stop the growing attraction.

I loved it when women had spines.

"Since you want to go out and fight for yourself why don't you just leave?"

It was also a way to draw her out. She was the same person who tried to sneak into my room earlier saying that she missed her way which was something that I could never believe.

Believing that was equal to waiting for unicorns to appear.

Everyone stared at her, but I would have loved it if they got away from her as fast as they could because she was even more dangerous than they were thinking.

"I'm sorry if I sounded a little bit rude but if there's an attack, why don't we just deal with it and leave everyone with the greater chance to fight for your freedom instead of trying to shield them here which might not be as effective as you want?"

She was making solid points but my eGo was never going to take it so I decided to switch things up. "If you could prove that fighting was the solution, I'd give you the opportunity to go out. If anyone wants to take that route you are also free to go."

Another lady stood. A bright blonde but I could still see the hint of brown at the roots.

She had bleached to become blonde. I would never understand why women's obsession for that hair color grew over the years.

Selene shot me a frantic glance. She was never expecting that I was going to indulge these women but doing anything otherwise was going to prove that I had something to hide and everyone knew that I didn't but it had to be established before it was too late.

I already had an idea of what was possibly going on and the only way to deal with it was to keep pretending.

"Let's see what you've got."

.

I had already given the order that everybody was supposed to shield anyone within but if they felt like they could protect themselves, I was all for that.

It was going to be challenging especially with the fact that the woman who was supposed to keep protecting everyone was also running away and trying to hide from the possible disaster looming in front.

My guards moved forward, but I signaled them not to do anything.

It wasn't going to help matters so there was no need to compound the entire problem thinking that we were trying to solve something.

If they were going to be fighting then they needed to go with guns-a-blazing.

"The rest of you will be put in shelters until we are able to subside the wave, the people who cannot abide by days can also leave before it's too late." I reiterated that it was common knowledge that I was not just mincing words.

I meant everything that came out of my mouth and as long as that was established the rest things they're going to follow in due order.

I had an idea that was going to knock them out of the park instantly, but I also had to discuss it with my entire team or else risk going to be a disaster.

My eyes kept rolling in annoyance as I kept watching and waiting for them to figure out that I had only been wasting time just to kill a few birds.

The perpetrators were still around and if this was going to become a distraction I was going to kill it before it could even breathe a second moment.

That was the only way to deal with cases like this or else you were going to be left with lengthy discussions.

Together they matched outside but my eyes remained fixated on them. It was going to be hard to convince these sets of people that rogues did not play.

They stopped at the outer door,...

The sound of gunshots permeated the air while I still stood. This was going to serve as less sign for them so that when they went about running their mouths they would realize that they must have made a mistake one way or the other and it was not time for them to repair it.

It was not going to make any sense anymore because I had gotten involved, and now I had to strive even harder to keep them alive.

The second lady enjoyed it badly but the one who had been even more challenging still stood with her head held high in the sky like she couldn't care about anything else.

"Let's get out of this place!" She yelled at the second

"Just stop this girl from making a mess." Selene hissed.

Oh no she probably thought that everybody was like how would jump into conclusions at the slightest opportunity without properly thinking about the model consequences we're going to be.

I took a deep breath and also took my time before doing anything that was going to impact me negatively no matter who was involved and that was final.

The rest could come later while I dealt with it. By the time I was done nobody will be able to have any say in this. "Seize both of them. Let's see what they have going on." I announced.
