Chapter 917: Her safe heaven
Chapter 917: Her safe heaven
His beast was somewhere inside him, too weak to appear and it also caused his human side to take the brunt, making him feel extremely lethargic.
Lidya said if it was not for her help, Calleb would have died by now and even this potion wouldn't help much if he didn't take good care and overdid himself.
That was one of the reasons why he had to take the dwarf with him.
And along the way, though Calleb found himself reluctant to admit it, the dwarf indeed had some uses for him, especially when he changed his mind.
"You don't have to accompany me to Torak's place," Calleb said all of a sudden, as he pulled over the car that he was driving.
"No!" the dwarf immediately rejected his idea. "I will bring you to Torak and leave right after I finished delivering you to him. I don't want to have anything to do with anyone of you." He folded his arms and scrunched up his face, not liking the idea of .
"You don't want to have anything to do with us?" Calleb jeered and scoffed. "You are the one who came to us at the first place, and helped me and Sterling alongside with Lidya. Now you were talking like you don't want to be bothered with all this crazy sh*t war thing?"
Nutdrouk sent the lycan a vicious glare, if he could kill the man beside him by only using his eyes, he would have done that a long long time ago, instead of listening to this lycan's nonsense.
"Do you think the devils will spare you if they won the war? Or, do you plan to kiss their a** to keep your worthless life?" Calleb smirked triumphantly. "Don't look at me like that, you know what I am telling is the truth."
Calleb might have lost connection to his beast, but he didn't lose his annoying ability; bombarding someone with his thoughts until they complied to his bidding.
"Moreover," Calleb said, his tone turned serious, as he narrowed his eyes and turned his body to face the dwarf, who was sitting beside him. "Why did you help us in the first place? Telling Raine that they shouldn't separate, helping them to find the phoenix and enhanced their power? And now, you are with Lidya, readily coming back to the castle to help me and Sterling."
Calleb felt there was something more to this dwarf than he showed or told them. This creature wasn't randomly sniffing his nose around their business for nothing.
"Someone is ordering you to do so, right?" Calleb leaned over to see how hard the dwarf gulped down his saliva, indicating that his words were nearly correct. Who was that? "Who was ordering you? Are you a foe or a friend?"
"I am only a dwarf!" Nutdrouk yelled at the Gamma, folding his short arms and shut his eyes. Didn't want to be intimidated by Calleb.
It was a well known fact that it was hard to gain information from the dwarf if you don't have something that he was interested to bargain with and Calleb didn't have the whole day to try and know who was the person behind this dwarf's actions and what was their deal.
It would be easier if he asked Lidya about it or let Torak deal with him.
For now, there was something thing that he should do. And this was even more important than his whole life.
"Whatever your plan might be, I don't care. But, I want you to help me with something." Calleb saw that the dwarf was not budging and still closed his eyes, seemingly didn't want to be bothered with whatever this helpless Lycan was about to talk.
Seeing this dwarf acted like he didn't care, the Gamma just rolled his eyes dramatically. He knew better ways to deal with this situation.
People would always say, it was easier to make a new deal with a dwarf, instead of finding out who was the person that this dwarf dealt with.
"I will give you anything you ask if you help me in finding her." Calleb watched unblinking, as numerous cars passed by theirs.
"Anything?" The dwarf opened one of his eyes to glance at him. "Really anything?"
"Yes, what do you want, tell me." Calleb was daring enough to say this because he knew what exactly the dwarf wanted.
"I want all of your properties from the time you started working for the Donovans." Nutdrouk posted his demand shamelessly.
However, it wasn't any less from what Calleb had expected of him.
"Deal," Calleb immediately agreed. "You really want those properties when the world is on the verge of meeting its end soon?" he quipped.
The dwarf shrugged. "You said you will beat those devils." And then he looked at Calleb. "Who do you want to find?"
"My mate." Of course it was Rossie that was in his mind.
==============
Rossie had not cried this hard for these past few hours, she felt her legs almost giving up on her when she watched with reddened eyes as Calleb rushed toward her and caught her body before she could fall to the ground with the baby in her arms.
She cried and cried, as if all the sadness and the anguishing pain that she had been suppressing for god knows how many hours came over her like a broken dam.
She didn't even realize when Bree took the baby away from her, keeping him safe because Rossie was having a mental breakdown right now.
On the other hand, Calleb couldn't say how much it pained him to see his mate like this. It must be too much for her to face all this alone.
Rossie had to witness a lot of deaths than she could ever imagine and lost almost all the people that she loved at the same time.
"It's all right, I am here now, you are safe now," Calleb tried to comfort her, but it seemed Rossie couldn't hear his words. Her small body was shaking and he had to hug her tightly to let her know that she was not alone.
Rossie couldn't say what caused her to cry so uncontrollably like this, was this because of the pain or the feeling of relief that she felt upon seeing Calleb again.
"Sshh… baby, sshh…" Calleb felt his own tears streaming down his cheeks.
==============
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Love you all!
