"What do you want?" Sterling opened the door, standing tall with his arms akimbo, blocking the door, so that Calleb couldn't pass nor could he see his mate clearly.
This overbearing father had smelled Calleb scent even before he could reach this place.
The sterling family resided inside a house in the north wing of the castle and now Calleb wanted to take Rosie for a leisure walk before dinner. It would be the best if Sterling let him join the dinner as well, but if he didn't, maybe Calleb had to try it in another time.
"Can I see Rosie," Calleb said and then added. "Please."
"What do you want with my girl?" Sterling folded his arms, showing his muscles and glared at him.
This afternoon they had trained together and from Calleb's point of view, he enjoyed the time when he could show the other lycan warrior his moves by tackling him down again and again.
This lycan used more strength than necessary and Calleb couldn't attack him back!
Well, it was unlikely he would try to attack Sterling since it would only throw him a hundred steps back from being with Rosie. The Gamma had to think this through, whether it could benefit him in a long run.
Sigh.
Why should he be the one to experience something ridiculous like this when Raphael could claim his mate easily and now they were already expecting a baby, meanwhile, he was having a hard time even to grab hold of his mate's hand..…
"Taking a walk with her before dinner," Calleb said.
Fortunately, Sophia came to his rescue and elbowed her mate to push him aside while bringing Rosie along with her.
The girl looked at Calleb sheepishly and was wearing a beautiful blue dress and her long hair was tied into a simple bun on top of her head.
However, when Calleb thought this night would be perfect, Raphael came out of nowhere to ruin it.
"Date later, Torak issue!" He said in hurry.
"What?!" Calleb shouted in frustration. "Not now!"
��No. Now!" Raphael urged him and Calleb could see a triumphant smirk on Sterling face and disappointment in Rosie's eyes.
However, before Raphael could drag him away, Calleb moved quickly to kiss Rosie's cheeks and whispered. "See you later." And then ran away even faster than Raphael.
==============
"KILL THEM ALL!" Torak flared. He was livid beyond words when he heard their report saying Raine was not inside the cabin, where she should be.
Apparently, the dwarf or the witch had teleported the two guardian angels without the lycan warriors knowledge.
And now when Torak finally came to know about this, he couldn't contain his anger. It was just like the last time or some other times in the past when Raine was missing and travelled back to the past. He didn't know where she was nor did he trust her with Nutdrouk or Lidya.
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!" Torak's eyes turned bloodshot and his beast started clawing inside wanting to emerge to the surface of his consciousness, demanding to see blood as they couldn't find their mate.
At this point, as Raine was still unable to control her power, anything could happen and Torak didn't even want to think about the slightest mishap that could happen to her, though his mind flashed a few gruesome images and he started to assume the worse.
The seven lycan warriors fell to their knees upon hearing their death sentence. Their bodies shivered out of fear. They really didn't know that the four people inside the cabin had gone, since they didn't see anyone coming out from the room while they were guarding right outside all this while.
"Torak," Kace called his name. "We will not get the girls back even if you kill them," Kace said grimly.
Of course, he was on the same level of frustration as Torak, but he didn't let the anger nor his beast got the best of him.
Perhaps, this was the only thing that he should be thankful for suppressing his beast all this time; for being able to face this kind of situation and think more level headed.
"No, it doesn't," Torak said through gritted teeth, his bloodshot eyes were directed atKace now. "I just want to see their blood for failing the task to keep my mate safe."
"My mate is also gone!" Kace emphasized that they were in the same situation.
"Then you can kill them," Torak said simply.
Kace really wanted to knock some sense into Torak's head. Where was his even-tempered brother???
Well, Kace had never seen Torak's temper when he couldn't find his mate, but he didn't think he could be this irrational.
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" Kace roared and this only messed up the situation even more, when the two brothers faced each other head on head.
It was not without reason why Torak was acting like this, he just witnessed how Raine was in a dangerous condition after the devil caused damage in this place the last time they infiltrated the castle not too long ago.
Torak just loosened up a little bit because he thought Raine would be safe now and the devils wouldn't penetrate this place like before.
However, he was wrong, it was the people from inside that messed up with his mate safety.
"YOU! STOP IT!" Kace shifted his dagger look toward the lycan warrior, who moved forward to assassinate the seven lycans that failed their task.
If Kace was any ordinary lycan, the lycan warrior wouldn't listen to him, but the domineering aura and the Alpha tone that he used were enough to stop him in his tracks.
Apparently, the time that Kace spent with those lycans to practice and finally take the leadership upon them were able to bring out this side of him, which he had tried to bury deeply in his head… maybe this was also one of the reasons, how he managed to keep his beast under his control.
Despite of this fact, that Kace and his inner beast were still not in sync, but at the very least he could say there was a truce between them.
"You're just wasting your energy to kill them," Kace softened his tone. "Let's figure out what exactly happened inside the cabin first."

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hope this year will bring more joy and happiness!
Love you all!
