Chapter 772 - PREDICAMENT (2)

"I don't understand." Lana smiled derisively. "You said, you will walk me back to the other tower, but I don't understand what the need of the silver dagger in your hand?"

"Stop pretending that you don't know anything." Kyle played with the dagger in his hand, he knew there was no one there to save Lana, this part of the king tower was exceptionally quiet, because Jedrek prefer to don't have much guards roaming around in his place.

"Apart from the fact that you are trying to kill me now, I know nothing." Lana kept her voice calm while occasionally she would glance at the dagger in Kyle's hand. "Oh, maybe you want to ask, whether I know or not about your attempt to kill Theo?"

The smile on Kyle's lips slightly faltered as his eyes turned dark with anger with the way Lana spoke. She was mocking him.

"Do you really thing you can get away easily after killing a general? I don't think the king that stupid." Lana took a step back. She needed to think how to get away from this man and a silver dagger was a great deal for her, especially in her condition now.

Lana wouldn't risk that, thus all she needed to do was to buy some time.

"You know that it was impossible for you to fight me." Every shifter were able to know if their opponent was more stronger than them, it was the same way how those creatures could distinguish an Alpha or any shifter with higher rank than them. They would know who was the predator.

And in this case, Lana was nothing for a high rank general like Kyle, in his opinion.

"Well, you don't know." Lana looked around her, calculating her chance and what she could do in her current situation. "I had fought someone much worse than you," she said as she backed away.

"Really? You never saw the worst then."

After saying that, Kyle charged forward and made a slash movement with his dagger as Lana tried to dodge him by jumping to the other side and rolled her body on the ground while she shifted smoothly into her beast.

Kyle watched the beast in front of him and sneered. "I don't need to shift into my beast to face your scrawny wolf." He moved his forefinger in beckoning gesture. "Come here you little dog."

Lana's brown wolf snarled viciously and howled, but she was smart enough to not rush forward blindly toward the deathly silver dagger.

A lycan was stronger to withstand attacked using silver but not a werewolf, it could be a death sentence for them if Kyle cut her right in her heart.

"I will get you then…" Kyle twirled the dagger and started to walk slowly toward lana before he sped up.

With remarkable agility, Kyle dodge the beast attack and plunged the dagger straight to her back, but before the damage could be done, the beast propelled forward and sent him fly until his body crashed against the rows of flower beds.

But, before that, kyle managed to cut the beast's upper arm. Blood trickled down on her brown fur as she howled in pain.

The beast stepped back in her attempt to run away, but Kyle bolted to his feet and dashed toward her in incredible speed that managed to outrun her.

The beast pivoted in her place and avoid Kyle's dagger as she threw herself to the side, yet Kyle maneuvered and caught up to her.

He pushed the beast with his shoulder hardly, while the beast clawed his face deeply. With blood covered his vision, Kyle grunted and snarled. "B*tch!!!"

As the beast was flying midair and exposed her vital part of her body, Kyle smirked and charged forward.

This time, Lana lost her balance and was not able to gain her footing when Kyle pounced onto her and raised his dagger above his head.

The light from the sun fell on the sharp edge of the silver, ready to stab Lana to her death.

However, before Kyle could smile triumphantly, he was thrown to the ground with great force and without knowing what had happened, his head had been torn off his shoulder. The last thing that he saw was; a red eyes from a big brown beast with black strip on his left side, after that, he saw nothing when the excruciating pain washed over him.

The furious big brown beast didn't stop there, he tore Kyle's body limbs after limbs and snarled viciously when his opponent's blood coated his fur until he heard his mate soft voice.

"Raph…"

Lana's voice was very soft and laced with agony as she held her bleeding right arm. She sat down on the ground and watched how vicious Raphael's beast was, but that was the last of her concern. It was good enough that it was Kyle's head that was being ripped apart from his body, instead of hers or Raphael's.

"Lana!" Raphael had shifted back the moment he approached Lana and cradled her in his arms, his eyes were still the color of blood when he watched what Kyle had done to his mate. He shouldn't give him a quick death!

"It is a silver," Lana whimpered when the deep cut of her wound didn't heal.

"I know, I know…" Raphael picked her up carefully. "I am sorry I am late."

Lana had mind- linked him the moment she realized that she was being followed by Kyle. Of course she was aware about the treason that Kyle and Rowan had committed and her chance to win over Kyle if she had to face him head on, was nearly impossible.

"It's all right," Lana said softly to appease Raphael's anxiousness. She was glad that she just injured her arm.

"We need to bring her to the healer." Serefina panted slightly when she arrived at the yard where Kyle had attacked Lana and saw the girl in Raphael's arms.

On the ground, Kyle's dead body was almost unrecognizable.
