Lana felt suffocated by her own anxiety as her stomach continued to churn uncomfortably. She whimpered softly when the feeling grew intense.
"Lana, what happened?" Bree was the first one to notice Lana's pain, since Sophie and Rossie were focused on observing the other women, each of whom facing their own battle trying to overcome their loss.
"Lana, are you okay?" Rossie asked Lana, when she saw that Lana curled her body while holding her knees close to her stomach, she could clearly see the sweat layered on top of her forehead as she tried to hold back a grunt.
"Come here dear, let's make you feel comfortable," Sophie said, she reached out for Lana and held her in her arms as she rested Lana's head on her shoulder. Sophie also tried to ease her tension by caressing her back in small soothing motions, in order to alleviate her pain. "You should relax my dear, or you will scare the baby too."
How could Lana feel relaxed at a time like this? When every single part of her body screamed, calling for Raphael's presence in her arms.
Lana had never felt these intense feelings of fear before. Even when she was very young or when she received her first mission from Serefina, she had never felt such an intense feeling, where she even find it hard to breathe normally.
"They will be fine, Lana…" Rossie offered some comforting words, yet it didn't help to lessen her anxiety any better.
"What if something bad happened to them?" Lana asked in a trembling voice. "I can't…" she whimpered. "Raphael hadn't even got to see our child…"
The very thought that Raphael could never hold their son, pained her. She felt like a thousand silver daggers had been pierced through her heart, leaving it to bleed while she didn't even know how to stop it from paining.
"No, no, no…" Sophie hugged Lana even tighter, the girl was having a mental breakdown now and all she needed was the genuine consolation that they could offer. However, the most important thing that she needed right now was to see her mate.
So did most of the women here, yet Lana was the only pregnant woman in the bunker.

[WHERE IS BAYLE?!] Raphael roared through the mind-link, as he fought three beasts that sneaked up on him from behind.
His fur was already drenched in blood and he felt his arm turning numb as the bone on his right shoulder had been dislocated when he tried to ward off the three beasts at the same time, yet he couldn't spare any time to heal properly when he couldn't even afford a few seconds to take a breather before he was confronted by yet another angry beast.
[I didn't see him.] Eaton answered through mind-link, as he bit off the head of the beast that tried to attack him. He was fighting not too far from Raphael now.
They were in deep trouble now, they had been forced to go to the inner castle as it increasingly became harder and harder to control the beasts.
At this point, all the three entrance gates were already collapsed and their attackers had started roaming around the entire castle.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-love-of-a-lycan_13952362506619705/my-favorite-guardian-angel_50531680028519872 for visiting.
Raphael could no longer afford to command anything to their warriors, when they already fought and killed as many beasts as they could, while trying to watch one another backs.
The least they could do now was; try and keep those beasts away from the bunker.
However, with the disappearance of the dragon lord and his people, they knew that they were at a greater disadvantage because of insufficient force, while the number of their opponents did not seem to cease down any sooner.
[It looks like they have run away.] Eaton gritted his teeth when one of the beasts caught his front leg, but he quickly countered by biting off his ear. The sound of a wailing howl pierced through the dark night once again, as countless beasts were continued to engage in brawls with the lycan warriors in this seemingly endless battle.
[D*mn it!] Raphael cursed loudly. He looked around and all he could see was blood and dead bodies which were scattered on the ground, while the rest of the lycan warriors, who could still stand their ground after all the blows they received until now, tried their best to keep their heads intact.
Raphael panted heavily. His new wounds tore open his old ones and this kept repeating until he didn't know which part of his body that was injured anymore.
His vision was getting increasingly blurry, and he could feel his beast had already turned bone-weary. The only thing that kept him awake was his instinct and the thought of his mate and their unborn child.
With that, he let out an ear-piercing snarl when another beast pounced on him.
There was no end for this and no one knew how many beasts they had already killed, it seemed they had killed more than one city at this point.
Not too far from him, in the highest tower of the castle, leisurely standing were Lucifer and Lilith, with their golden eyes glued to the messed up situation in the yard, as a soft smile appeared on their lips.
"Such a beautiful sight, right?" Lilith sighed contentedly. She perched on the edge of the trail, as she played with her long hair.
"Can I go back?" Belphegor yawned lazily, as he leaned his body against the wall, at the darkest spot of the tower. "You should bring Wrath or Gluttony here, not me…" he stretched his body leisurely.
"Can you stop complaining?" Lilith glared at Belphegor. "Can't you see our masterpiece?"
"Masterpiece?" Belphegor scoffed disdainfully. "There was too much blood for my liking."
Those beasts were the same people who had been missing from the past year and managed to escape the grasps of Jedrek's people.
They had indeed lost their inner beasts, but the devils replaced it with a part of their own soul and controlled them.
Jedrek had killed many people without their inner beasts, but little did he know, there were more people than he could imagine, whom the devils had managed to implant with their dark soul.
"It is not fun, I will go back now." Belphegor glanced at the bloody battle down there, as his golden eyes didn't show any empathy.
"Why? Because of your favorite guardian angel is not here?" Lucifer turned around and smirked at his fellow devil.
Belphegor chuckled upon hearing that. "Yes, because that cute guardian angel is not here," he admitted. "I am kind of missing her…" he clicked his tongue.
Lilith snorted and looked at the sloth with disdain. "You have such a strange taste."
