Chapter 895: He died
Chapter 895: He died
[Call! We need to get out of here!] Sterling roared at the grey wolf of Calleb, when he noticed that he went ahead to fight more beasts, when they were supposed to retreat. They would die in vain if they kept fighting them.
Sterling saw that the grey wolf shook its head in refusal to listen whatever he was asking him to do.
[No, I have to find Raphael!] he said through mind-link stubbornly. [I have to make sure that he was all right!]
[Don't be stupid!] Sterling yelled angrily as he groaned and moved ahead to fight alongside Calleb. [You don't even know where he is!]
[I will find him!] Calleb roared back at Sterling as he killed another beast that attacked him.
[No! I will not let you go there!] Sterling's beast bumped the grey wolf and snarled at him. [Do you think I will let you go there all alone?! Your rash decision was a pure suicide!!!]
[Why do I want to suicide?! I just want to find Raphael!] Calleb yelled back frustratedly.
He couldn't reach the Beta from an hour and he couldn't find him anywhere, even after mind linking all the lycan warriors that he could reach.
What happened to him?
Was he…
Calleb shook his head in denial. That must not be true. If something happened to Raphael, he would feel something. Torak and Raine would feel something.
The bond between them was strong enough to let him feel something.
Though that bond was not as strong as the mate bond, but they had been together for years. And, when a bond between Alpha and his Beta or Gamma was snapped, they would feel it.
Raine would be able to sense it too.
[Don't be crazy!] Sterling's roar forced Calleb to focus on the reality before his eyes again. [He will find a way to save himself!]
[He has a mate, not to forget his unborn child, who are waiting for him! I have to make sure he is fine!] Calleb growled when they got ambushed by another attacker.
D*mn it! Why did it seem like there was no end to this!?
Raphael didn't talk a lot about finding his mate, but Calleb knew that the taciturn Beta was always longing for one.
Raphael once said that he wanted to have a family of his own. And now he was going to have one… Calleb didn't even want to entertain the mere thought of if something went wrong.
[You have your own mate you still have to think of!] Sterling tried to drag him away from that place, but Calleb was too stubborn. [I will not live to see my only daughter mourning for the loss of her mate!] he growled loudly.
Rossie was with the other people in the bunker, but now those beasts were heading in that direction and no one could be sure that they wouldn't manage to breakthrough that safe place.
[Raphael is a Beta! He is an extremely talented warrior, he will be fine!] Sterling saw that Calleb was hesitating on what to do about this again with the mention of his mate, thus he prodded further. [You will feel it if something happened to him! You are the Gamma after all!]
And at the same time, someone informed them in urgency.
[THE BEASTS MANAGED TO BREAKTHROUGH THE BUNKER'S DOOR!]
And that was all Calleb needed to run toward the bunker, with Sterling following closely behind him.
Rossie…
Lana…
Sophie…
Bree…
Sterling picked up his pace when he felt his family was in danger.
However, they didn't run too far before something strange happened as they shifted back into their human form.
Sterling and Calleb tumbled down and fell onto the ground, with their breathing uneven.
"What is happening?" Calleb saw his hand… they really shifted back into their human form. However, how could this happen?
Sterling groaned and felt his body turn very weak to support himself, as if his strength was being sucked out of his entire being.
Yet, that would be their last concern now. A few meters away from them they saw some beasts running in their direction with their protruding talons, as sharp as blade, ready to tear them apart.
==============
Ian and Ethan were racing toward the bunker when they heard the last reminder about the bunker being invaded by those beasts.
That couldn't happen!
Both the twins picked up their speed and fought the beasts that they met along the way to get there.
Yet, Ian lost his focus when he noticed that Ethan was being surrounded by four beasts and couldn't keep up with him.
Thus, Ian halted to help his twin, without him knowing, one beast sneaked an attack behind him and bit down his shoulder, bringing him down to the ground.
Ian roared and tried to shake the attacker off from him as the pain from the wound made him panic and the blood that spilled from his wound drenched his fur.
Ethan, who saw that, could only snarl at his twin, since he was being caught up with the four beasts and was not able to go to help him.
Ethan's beast clawed and bit his attacker, while keep glancing at Ian, who was not yet able to free himself from the beast's jaws.
Ian let out a painful wail when another beast bit down his neck and some more blood spurted from the wound.
He started to lose his focus as his vision became blurry. He felt his strength leaving him bit by bit. His beast turned silent and stopped fighting back.
The last thing he could remember was; he shifted back into his human form.
[IAN!] Ethan roared painfully when he saw his twin in his human form, not moving an inch.
The beast that clamped his jaws on Ian's neck let him go and gave a final blow by clawing his heart open, leaving his blood to flow freely.
Ethan was lost for words upon seeing the gruesome scene and what turned this even more terrifying was; it was his twin.
He felt like all the air in his lungs being sucked out, leaving him breathless when his mind tried to register what was happening.
Ian is dead before his eyes yet he could do nothing to stop it from happening…
