The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 899 - THE ANGUISHING PAIN

"ARRGH!!!" Lana clutched her chest, as she fell to the ground. She tried to curl her body, in hopes to lessen the pain, but it was impossible when her stomach prevented her from doing so.

Sophie and Kiara immediately came to her side and helped her to sit down again, since it would endanger her baby's life if she did curl her body.

"What happened?" Kiara asked in confusion. "is the baby coming?" she looked at Lana again, but the latter's hands weren't around her stomach, but her heart instead.

On the other hand, Sophie immediately realized what actually was happening to her, as she held Lana closer and hugged her tighter.

Lana must be in pain. The anguish that she herself felt just a few moments ago. The fresh agonizing wound which she was still feeling in her bruised heart.

"Lana… Lana…" Sophie tried to call her. The latter had to overcome this. The wave after wave of sadness… "Lana, think about the baby… think about your son… we need to go from here…" Sophie also started crying along with Lana. She knew the pain of losing someone whom they loved whole heartedly…

In spite of the fact that Sophie and Rossie have felt a bond breaking evincing the demise of their family member, still they were unsure who actually had died in the massacre from earlier.

Whoever it was, it wouldn't make them feel any better. They wished for their whole family to pass this whole ordeal safely, but it was impossible now…

However, Sophie had Rossie. She had to overcome that anguishing pain as soon as possible, or else, if they extended their stay inside the tunnel any longer, she would lose their only daughter too...

Therefore, she should divert Lana's focus and make her think about her baby to overcome this pain. In Lana's case, it was very obvious whom she had lost…

"I want to go back to the castle…" Lana wailed and struggled to free herself from Sophie's arms, yet when she didn't even have enough strength to even lift herself up, how could she shake off a grown up person? "I want to see him… I want to see him… let me go…" Lana cried her heart out, she couldn't handle this… historical

"No, Lana… you will kill yourself!" Sophie shook her body gently, so she would regain some sense about what kind of situation they were in right now and what's more important for them at this moment.

"I don't care!" Lana yelled shrilly at Sophie which made Kiara anxious, forcing her to look around them frantically, trying to spot any danger which might caught them off guard in this darkness. "THERE IS NO POINT IN CONTINUING THIS LIFE!"

Raphael was everything she ever wanted. A perfect soul which completed the meaning of her whole existence, the one that she had been waiting for and the person who released her heart from the ridiculous feelings she had been harboring for Kace…

Her mate, her other half…

However, she lost him now and there was nothing she could do…

Lana couldn't even see him for the last time. She couldn't hold him in her arms again, or hear him whisper sweet nothings in to her ears about how much he loved her, and that thought alone pained her even further.

It was impossibly unfair.... They just met for a few months and now she was even pregnant with their firstborn.

Shouldn't they be happy, waiting for Lana to finally give birth to their baby, bringing him into this world together? Was that too much to ask for?

"Lana you have to think about your baby," Sophie grabbed her shoulders even tighter. "Think about him. You can't lose him too!"

Lana shut her eyes tightly and let out a painful wail.

"He promised me that he would come back…" she cried even harder when she remembered the last few words she had with Raphael.

If only she knew what awaited his departure, she wouldn't let him go and would do everything in her power to make him stay with her… but, now it was too late… it was very late for Lana to do anything or to even think what she should have done to prevent all of this.

"He promised me... Sophie… he promised me…" Lana wailed, her face was already very red and her tears seemed like they wouldn't stop falling from her eyes anytime soon.

"Think about your son, Lana… think about your son." Sophie hugged Lana, as the latter's body started shaking with sadness. "Raphael did this, so you and your son will live… you have to be strong for both of you…"

Meanwhile, Rossie didn't say anything and chose to stay silent, with her eyes locked onto her mother who was busy consoling Lana. She was still trying to cope up with her fear and sadness.

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

The first thing that greeted Lilac's eyes was piles of dead bodies which scattered on the ground around her. The smell of blood was thick in the air along with the deadly silence that filled the entire castle felt deafeningly terrifying.

Lilac had never seen such a gruesome scene where they couldn't even spot a tiny patch of ground that was free from blood and these many dead people before.

However, one thing she was sure of; the worst thing was yet to come.

Jedrek, who was standing behind her pulled her closer to him and tried to cover her eyes with his palm, he thought his mate was in shock to the point she couldn't even utter a word, but Lilac shook her head, refusing the gesture.

"No, I am fine," Lilac said through gritted teeth. "I want to see this, they are our people," she said firmly, as she took step after step toward the castle.

Behind the king and the queen, Eaton and Sebastian stood dumbstruck. They just left this place for a few days and everything seemed very normal at that time. No one would believe that this would happen the moment they returned.

That was why, the Donovans shouldn't leave the palace.

"Find the survivors," Jedrek said grimly. From the aftermath of this ordeal, it seemed they were too late to even save a single soul.

Eaton and Sebastian snapped out of their reverie and nodded respectfully before they each went in a different direction.

Even though they hadn't scoured the whole place yet, but his gut feeling told him that no one would be lucky enough to survive this massacre.

What actually was happening?!

"Torak…" he murmured his brother's name beneath his breath, as his eyes turned black.

If Torak didn't left this place, then this horrible thing wouldn't have happened in the first place…

Jedrek needed to find him.
