Chapter 906 - THE BABY

"If you want to go, bring Nutdrouk with you," Lidya came out from the room, where Sterling was still asleep. "You will need him."

"Why should I go with him?"

"Why should I bring him with me?"

The two them asked simultaneously, didn't seem to be satisfied with Lidya's decision.

"Because you can't shift into your beast, meaning; you will be in great danger if something happened on your way to find Torak," Lidya explained.

"And why should I go with him? To be his body guard?" Nutdrouk raised his eyebrows questioningly. Didn't liking the sound of it at all.

And in this case, Calleb was on the same page as him, since it would hurt his pride if he had to bring the dwarf as his protector.

"No, because you are more useful if you go with him instead of being here," Lidya leaned her back against the door behind her.

"Why don't you go with him instead if you are very worried?" Nutdrouk stomped his short feet and huffed in annoyance.

"Because I need to stay here to take care of him."Lidya nodded at the room behind her. "And you just have to remind him to take the potion on time while you are with him."

Nutdrouk glared and even Calleb scoffed at her idea. "I can remember the time very well when I have to take the potion. Thanks, but no thanks. I will not take him with me."

"I don't want to go with you too," Nutdrouk sneered.

"Can the two of you cooperate for awhile? You are not enemies with one another," Lidya sighed helplessly, seeing the two of them being impossibly immature even at this juncture.

"Don't you think there will be a possibility that we will kill each other before we even found Torak and the rest?" Nutdrouk asked dramatically.

"You mean, I will be the one, who will kill you?" Calleb raised his eyebrows at the dwarf provokingly. Despite he was not able to shift into his beast, he was confident that he would be able to kill the dwarf.

However, before Nutdrouk could retort his words, there was an ear- piercing cry that came from the room where Sterling was currently residing.

The sound of it was very pitiful, as if someone was trying to skin him alive.

Without wasting a second longer, Lidya immediately opened the door and rushed into the room with Calleb and Nutdrouk following closely behind her.

It was impossible to have an intruder, since Lidya didn't feel the spell around this place being broken and also there was no way someone could enter this room because this was a windowless bedroom, the only way was through the door.

Yet, when they were finally inside, they couldn't find any threat or someone, who could be the devil or his minion. The only thing that they saw was; Sterling, who was now writhing in pain on his bed with his eyes closed.

"What happened?!" Calleb asked frantically, when he saw the lycan clutching his chest tightly.

The lycan didn't seem to be awake though. But the painful expression on his face couldn't be mistaken, and it couldn't be a nightmare either?

Lidya shook her head, she was also clueless about what happened to him.

But, it was Nutdrouk, who spoke in the end. "It seemed he lost a bond," he said in a light tone. "I have seen many shifters lose a close bond and looked exactly like this."

"Lost a bond…" Calleb repeated that words as fear flashed in his eyes. He clutched his own chest, if Sterling lost the bond, it must not be Rossie, right? Because he didn't feel it, since she was his mate, he must felt something…

Then, who…?

============== 

Raine looked out into the rain outside of her window, while leaning her body against Torak and even though Torak didn't say anything, Raine could still feel it through their mate bond that he was not in a good state.

Who would be? When you heard your Beta, the person that was very close to you for so many years, more precisely some hundreds of years, had left the world just like that.

There was one feeling that was very obtrusive, but Raine couldn't put her finger on it. What was that? Sadness? Regret?

Raine had never felt this kind of feeling from Torak, he couldn't even manage to mask his thoughts from his mate.

His mind was too crowded with many things that he had to think and Raine couldn't catch up with all of that.

Yet, this obtrusive feeling was very strong…

Torak was in regret…

"Alpha, our sources told us that the castle had been burned to the ground and he was sure, no one inside would be able to survive." Jack said when he put down his phone after someone called to notify him about this information.

Raine fidgeted.

Those people had died? They were all dead? The people that she met inside the castle…

"And also, the king is coming to meet you, Alpha," Jack added.

============== 

Rossie tried her best to ignore all the feelings of anguish that gnawed her heart when Sophie breathed her last.

She stumbled and picked herself up again and started to run for her life, for Lana and Bree.

They had to keep running, they had to keep moving, or else, those beasts would catch up to them and there was nothing they could do to escape from their sharp talons and claws.

However, right at that time, Lana fell to the ground, hugging her stomach before wailing in pain. Her pale face contorted and she seemed in so much pain.

"What happened Lana?" Bree asked, she and Rossie knelt down beside her and caressed her back to soothe her pain, while looking around them anxiously.

Yet, Lana just shook her head, she panted heavily.

"The baby…" finally she managed to say it.

"The baby?" Rossie looked at Lana, with fear evident in her eyes.

"The baby is coming?" Bree finished the sentence and Lana nodded her head weakly.

"Oh, no…" Rossie mumbled. Panic gripped her heart when she heard that. "The baby is coming now?"

"Can you delay it?" Bree asked innocently. Right now their utmost priority was; to escape.
