The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 896 - GRIEF

Sophie felt it, she felt it right in her tender heart, the excruciating pain upon losing someone she loved dearly.

She felt it in her very bones, a chilling feeling that could crush her being into nothing, and suddenly, all she could see was darkness. She felt the nothingness consume her with deep sorrow and endless heartbreak.

And at the same time, a shrill scream pulled her from the dark world that she just experienced. It was not her who was screaming…

It was Rossie.

Her daughter. She felt it too…

"No… no… no…" Rossie collapsed to the ground and wailed, while shaking her head. She mumbled the same thing over and over again. "It is impossible… this can't happen… no…"

Sadness overwhelmed her until her words soon turned incoherent.

Bree, who was confused knelt down beside her and started crying too, even though she couldn't feel the sadness that Rossie and Shopie feeling right now.

However, their reaction told her that something bad must have happened to one of their family member.

Sophie watched her own daughter crying her heart out, but she did nothing. Her eyes showed nothing, as her mind was trying to cope up with the loss that she just experienced.

Who was that? Sterling? Ian? Ethan?

Who left them?

Everything became silent to the point where Sophie couldn't even hear Rossie's wails. The world suddenly became very quiet for her, until she felt someone shook her body and Lana's face loomed in her vision.

Sophie watched how Lana was talking with a sense of urgency, but she couldn't comprehend what Lana was talking about.

What was she saying?

Sophie frowned and felt Lana shook her body once again.

"We need to get out from here. Now!" Lana screamed at Sophie helplessly. "Sophie, do you hear me?!"

"Lana…" Sophie whispered to her, as tears streamed down her face. "I lost him… I lost one of them…" she said in bitterness.

She didn't know, who she lost in the family, but she could feel it when the bond was broken. It was such a painful feeling. The pain that she had never experienced before. historical

"I lost him…" she repeated her words and Lana pulled her, hugging her very tight, so she wouldn't break apart.

On the other side, Bree and Keira were trying to console Rossie, the girl wouldn't stop screaming, but it didn't lessen her pain whatsoever.

In spite of their grief, there was something more urgent they need to do now, when they heard a loud bang on the door behind them.

They were in the secret tunnel that connected the bunker to the outer castle. If they were clawing the door behind them now, it meant those beasts were inside the bunker.

"We need to go…" Keira looked at the door and then at the two women back and forth anxiously. "We will die if they managed to bust down the other door too!"

==============

"Kill them," Raine said viciously, her eyes didn't waver when she looked at Reynold straight in his eyes.

And before the dragon lord could overcome his surprise, one of the lycan warrior killed one of the dragon shifter with one swift move, as the latter's body collapsed to the ground.

"YOU!" Reynold roared and Stephan looked at Raine in disbelieve. This was not the girl that he knew! "HOW DARE YOU!"

Reynold was about to charge forward when Torak pulled Raine behind him and Jack acted swiftly and made the dragon lord kneel.

"Tell me to kill you again and I will make sure you witness every single one of your people die one by one," Raine said coldly while pointing her chin toward the Dragon people behind Reynold.

She had seen enough deaths at this point and she would do anything to protect the people that were important to her in order to keep them safe.

If these dragon people would be a threat for them, it would be best if they could get rid of them before they could do more harm.

"Raine, please…" Stephan pleaded her. "You don't want to do this… this is not you…"

However, before Raine could talk, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if someone stabbed her…

==============

Once all the people inside the bunker were in the open area, they shifted into their beasts and started running away as fast as they could.

However, Lana couldn't do that. She was pregnant, and once she shifted into her beast she would lost their baby. It was not an option for her.

Therefore, Sophie, Rossie, Bree and Keira walked with her, as fast as Lana could. They had to push down their grief in order to survive…

Meanwhile, Sophie and Keira supported Lana's body, afraid she would tumble down since Lana couldn't even see her own toes, while Rossie and Bree walked ahead while trying to sense any possible danger that would come in their way.

None of them were ever subjected to train for a close combat, thus if something went wrong, they would be literally handing their lives to their opponents.

Lana groaned when she felt her heart started beating faster and her chest caved in, she was almost at her limits, as sweat drenched her body completely.

"Just a little bit more Lana… just a little bit more…" Sophie tried to cheer her up. Yet it was needless to say, she herself didn't know where they were headed in this strange forest, while the other women had already fled to save their own lives, leaving the five of them long behind.

Lana shook her head, "I can't…" she mumbled.

"I think she needs to take some rest…" Keira said to Sophie. She saw how Lana struggled to breathe evenly.

Sophie looked hesitant at first, but Keira was right; Lana wouldn't be able to hold on any longer at this point, or else something would happen to the baby.

Though pregnancy for a shifter was relatively less complicated than humans, but it was still dangerous to push her limits.

"All right…" Sophie panted. "Let's take a break."

They moved closer to the dense trees and helped Lana to sit down, so she could lean her back and catch her breath for some time.
