Chapter 898 - THEIR LOST

Lucifer walked crushing the carcasses beneath his feet along with Lilith and Belphegor, closely following behind him. His golden eyes skimmed the whole place and his lips curved into a smirk.

Around the devils, the beasts continued to wreak havoc and would not stop killing those shifters, who could no longer stay in their beast form. It was easier for them to get rid of the lycan warriors once they turned into their human form and utterly spent, even to lift a finger.

They were killing those lycans without a meaningful fightback. And their strange condition only added more to the gruesome scene, as the smell of blood spread very thickly in the air.

Lucifer's golden eyes caught a familiar figure, and he soon realized it was Eaton. The former beta of the old Donovan stared at him with disdain evident in his eyes.

If only he could muster a little bit of his strength, he would have jumped onto the devil and teared him apart by now, despite the fact that such an attack wouldn't be able to kill him.

Unfortunately, Eaton saw a beast pouncing on him through his blurry eyes and from the corner of his eyes he could see a mocking smirk forming on Lucifer's lips, as his golden eyes gleamed with distaste.

"Goodbye, old friend," Lucifer said to Eaton, yet the latter was not able to hear his works, neither was he in a position to comprehend what the devil was mouthing at him, when a beast clawed his chest and bit down his neck.

"You are cruel," Lilith commented as she watched Eaton taking his last breath, before the life left his body along with his spirit. "You forced them to be like this." She waved her hands toward the lycan warriors, who had died in their human form due to the curse that the devils had asked the witches to cast upon them.

This curse was almost similar to the curse, what Jedrek had suffered from during his battle with the witches and wizards from the eastern region, not too long ago.

"This is a war…" Lucifer said simply, as he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "You have to be cruel in a war and should do everything and anything that was necessary to win it." A smirk appeared at the corner of his lips, as he walked toward Eaton's dead body, which was too gruesome to lay their eyes upon…

His blood gushed out from the wounds on his chest and his face, which was now split into two, he didn't even have a chance to heal himself now and all that left of him was only a soulless body.

"Now, you can serve your old king…" Lucifer murmured.

Behind him, Belphegor just took a glance at Eaton before walking away toward the other wing of the castle, where there were still a few lycans, who kept fighting back.

This battle was almost over and it was needless to say who would win this time around.

If things went this way, the result was too obvious to see…

============== 

Raphael felt something strange with his body as he could no longer preserve his beast form and felt he was being forced to turn into his human skin.

He felt utterly exhausted and spent. And when one of the beasts tried to claw him, he felt it was even more difficult to move a single muscle in his body, and as a result he could only receive the blow directly.

The sharp talons of the beast dug deep into his flesh and for a second, his head spinned as he couldn't even breath properly.

Raphael was thrown to the other side of the room with his blood spluttering all over the floor. He let out a deep and painful growl when his body hit the floor and he ended up coughing some more blood.

This was bad…

Raphael tried to stand up, but before he could fully gain his focus, he received yet another attack from the second beast.

This time, this beast managed to claw his left arm and got a chunk of his flesh.

Despite the anguish and pain that he was suffering, Raphael tried to avoid the third attack from the third beast.

Only then, could he see clearly… he wasn't left with a chance to stand this battle…

He was severely injured and had lost his beast, while there were around ten to twelve beasts in front of him, looking at him murderously.

Raphael was now thrown into a room somewhere inside this castle, alone…

He couldn't see a Lycan, centaur, the hunter or any other shifter around him for that matter…

While panting heavily, Raphael looked at the beasts that glared at him with blood shot eyes. He was aware that he didn't have any chances whatsoever…

So… this is it…

Raphael shifted his eyes toward the dark sky that could be seen from the broken window.

If he could ask for one last thing…

He wanted to see Lana for one last time… to see their unborn son and hold him in his arms, feel his tiny fingers curling around his, watch the very first step that he took and hear the first word he said.

To be able to teach him a lot of things and show him lots and lots of places, to tell him bed time stories before tucking in him for sleeping and tell him the story about the people who were dear to him…

If he could, he wanted to turn back the time and meet Lana earlier to love her longer, to hug her tighter and tell her how much he loved her…

He didn't get to do much and their time together was very short too…

As a last attempt, Raphael tried to mind link his beloved mate, yet it was not possible in his current condition.

Thus… while struggling to keep his last breath… he whispered in to the nothingness of the cold and gloomy night…

I love you…

Stay strong…

Raphael could only hope that Lana wouldn't be in so much pain…

============== 

Raine felt her chest caving in when the sadness washed over her entire being, she couldn't even find the comfort from Torak's presence.

"What is happening Torak?" Raine whimpered, while clutching her chest. "Why am I feeling this way?" she asked, as she was not able to understand why she had to suffer for something that she did not know.

Tears spilled from her eyes and wetted her face, as well as Torak's shirt. However, no matter how much she cried, there was nothing she could do to lessen the pain.

Torak knew what was happening as he felt the sharp pain when the bond snapped. Something happened to his Beta and Gamma.

But from the way the bond snapping felt, he could conclude one thing for sure.

The Alpha really lost his Beta.
