Chapter 1059: Get rid of this
"Calleb, talk to me... come back... I miss you... I miss my big brother..." Raine whispered softly into the beast's ear, as tears rolled down his fine brown fur.
Her small shoulders shook and her body clung so tightly to the beast that she looked like a koala cub clinging on to its mother.
"Calleb, I miss you... come back..." Raine grabbed Calleb tight as if she wouldn't loosen her grip on him until she got him back.
On the other hand, the beast's snarl turned into a grunt full of pain before finally turning into a low whimper as he began to lower his head and closed his eyes shut.
The beast seemed to have give up on struggling free from the guardian angel's tight hug, because he couldn't escape from her, so he let Raine hold onto him, or maybe it was the other way around… he was the one who was holding onto her...
***
Calleb felt like he was floating on the surface of the calm waters, so quiet that he didn't notice his surroundings until a voice called out to him and disturbed him.
It was Raine's voice.
At first Calleb wanted to ignore it, because it was very calm here and he felt better like this, as if something scary might happen if this serene was broken.
There was a memory that he didn't want to remember and it scared him half to death whenever he tried to ponder over it.
Calleb didn't know why and neither did he want to know what it was because this place felt perfect for him.
Until Raine's voice called out to him again.
'I miss you...'
Calleb missed Raine too. When was the last time he got to meet the Guardian Angel? Or what happened until they got separated? Calleb wanted to return Raine's call and find out where she was.
But something was holding him in place and he didn't want anything to bother him at this point.
As soon as he emerged from the bubble of this comfortable place, a feeling of fear gripped Calleb's heart which made him hesitate. Therefore, in order to defend his own quiet world, Calleb chose to stay put and ignore anything that could make him lose this peace.
It was just that Raine's voice was haunting him again and again, and he couldn't help but want to answer the guardian angel's call, especially when her voice sounded so sad, half begging him to come back.
'Calleb come back...'
The voice called Calleb again and the lycan felt a sudden urge to reply, because it was Raine, who was calling out to him.
But, return to where?
Calleb knew he had to remember something, but what is it?
Two opposing thoughts raked Calleb's consciousness and this conflicted feeling created a bubble that surrounded him and protected him from the turmoil within himself.
On the other hand, Calleb was afraid to remember whatever he had forgotten, but at the same time, he didn't want to ignore Raine either. Her voice sounded very sad, as if she would be crushed if Calleb insisted on not answering.
Calleb didn't want to disappoint Raine, but...
'Come back...'
Comeback?To where?
And, why is he here? What is this place?
At the prompting of Raine's voice that sounded so desperate, Calleb dared to open his eyes and found himself alone.
He didn't like this solitude.
Calleb never liked to feel alone, that was the reason why he always liked to be with Raine, because he didn't want her to feel alone.
Raine's loneliness and sadness made Calleb close to her.
Luckily, Torak didn't kill him because they got too close. Calleb laughed softly at his own ridiculous thought.
There was no way Torak would kill him, because he too had his own mate...
But, his mate ...
It was at this moment that Calleb felt a pain that he could barely fathom and endure. The pain was so excruciating that it made him feel like he was about to die.
Is this what really happened?
Calleb cowered in pain as all memories rushed to him like a storm ravaging a shipwreck.
He felt his heart breaking and his head throbbed painfully as every breath he took was pure agony as if the air was contaminated with tiny silver needles. Unbearably painful.
==============
Torak saw Sterling running toward him, with panic evident on his facial expression which made Torak's heart beat harder and accelerate his footsteps as well.
The Alpha ignored the uncomfortable feeling that enveloped him due to the excruciating exhaustion.
Torak was still not fully recovered from the war that broke out a few hours ago and the side effects from the mass killing of humans that he and his brothers have took part in, started to take effect now.
However, Torak forced himself to walk and despite how he felt, the expression on his face didn't show any of his true emotions.
It was just that, when Sterling started to say Raine was in danger, Torak growled and ran, along with several other lycans that were following behind him.
"Alpha! Raine is in danger!" Sterling exclaimed and kept up with Torak's pace as the two of them ran in the same direction, it seemed, just by relying on his sense of smell, Torak could immediately tell where Raine was.
"What happened?" Torak asked in a low, cold tone. He smelled the air and was a little relieved as he couldn't smell any blood.
At least, no one was hurt for now...
Not yet...
That was when Torak saw Raine, hugging a brown beast that was growling angrily, as if in the next second he was going to tear his mate apart.
Torak's eyes widened and he ran as hard as he could to get closer, but when he wanted to shift into his beast form, he couldn't do so...
Torak was too worn out to shift into his beast and this upset him greatly.
Especially when he got face to face with an obstacle, where he couldn't get past the invisible wall which made him unable to get close to Raine and the ferocious beast inside.
"GET RID OF THIS!" Torak roared viciously as he began hammering his fists on the surface of the magic wall hard.
