Chapter 919 - I AM HERE IF YOU NEED ME

But, the fact that Ian and their mother were no longer alive, was still hard to digest for him.

"What deal?" Calleb asked as he stopped rummaging through his pockets to find money to pay for the gas. He looked at the young boy beside him with narrowed eyes.

Whatever it was, a deal sealed in certain circ.u.mstances wouldn\'t be a good one, especially when it was made under a lot of pressure.

A look of guilt flashed in Ethan\'s eyes when he glanced at the baby in Rossie\'s arms.

Rossie and Bree were sitting on the middle seat, while the dwarf slept on the back seat. Aside from Calleb and Ethan, the rest of them had fallen asleep, too exhausted to keep their eyes open.

"They want Lana\'s baby," Ethan said. "I am sorry, I am sorry." He felt a rush of guilty feelings filling his being and felt ashamed of himself for agreeing to such a deal in his time of desperation.

"The baby?" Calleb clenched his jaw tightly and the sound of his gnashing teeth could be heard in this silent car. "What do they want the baby for?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

Calleb didn\'t blame Ethan for making such a deal, he knew it would have been very hard for him if he looked this guilty right now, but what didn\'t make any sense to Calleb was; what was the dragon lord intended to do with Lana and Raphael\'s baby?

"I don\'t know," Ethan shook his head. "I just heard about him talking that the baby is the hybrid between a fae and a Lycan. That\'s it, after that he didn\'t say much before we went out to look for Rossie."

"Fae?" Calleb fell into contemplation when he heard that. What did that mean? Who was fae? Raphael was a lycan and Lana was a werewolf, Calleb had even seen her wolf, so what did the dragon lord meant by saying that Eddard was a hybrid between a fae and a lycan?

"Yes, don\'t you know that Lana was also a hybrid between a werewolf and a fae?" Ethan heard about this from Hope when they still lived peacefully in the mystic river village.

"No, I don\'t know." Raphael had never told him about that. Calleb even doubted that whether Raphael knew about it. Probably he knew…

However, that was not the point now.

"What did you promise them? What is your deal?" Calleb felt his head pricking with irritation. They were facing bigger troubles already, so why those shitty creatures wanted to make these already messy things more complicated?

"They promised me that they will take me to Rossie and in return, they wanted me to give them the baby," Ethan said with his head hanging low. "I am sorry." He felt ashamed.

Before Calleb could say something in response, someone knocked on Calleb\'s side window, asking for the money for the gas. Without even checking how much he took out, Calleb gave all the money in his pocket, which was obviously more than the actual price.

"Just take it," Calleb mumbled and started the car again. When they were finally out of the gas station, he stretched out his free hand and tousled Ethan\'s head while the other was busy maneuvering the steering wheel.

Even though Ethan was Rossie\'s older brother, it couldn\'t change the fact that Calleb had already lived thrice of his age and the former would always be a kid in the Gamma\'s eyes.

"Don\'t worry, once we are united with Torak, the Alpha will figure this out." There was no way Torak would let Raphael\'s son fall into those creatures\' dirty hands, especially when he learned that those dragon shifter had run away from the battle.

"I think you are the perfect mate for my sister," Ethan admitted while staring at Calleb beside him with a genuine smile on his face as he reminisced something. Even though it was only a short memory, still it was a happy moment when Ian and he teased Calleb by always staying with Rossie whenever he came to visit their little sister.

"You realized it just now?" Calleb raised his eyebrows incredulously.

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

Raine was startled awake when she realized that Torak was not beside her, on the bed and the room was very cold, she clutched the blanket around her tightly and was about to fall asleep again when she saw Torak\'s back on the balcony from the corner of her eyes. He was standing there alone.

"Torak?" Raine rubbed her sleepy eyes and wrapped the blanket around her, as she walked barefoot toward her mate.

What was Torak doing there alone? He even left the balcony door wide open, letting the cold wind enter their room.

It wasn\'t like him.

"Torak, what are you doing?" Raine approached Torak and only then did the Alpha realized there was someone near him and turned around abruptly.

He looked pensive at first, but soon a look of surprise crossed his face. "Did I woke you up?" he asked as he put his arms around Raine.

"No," Raine lied.

"I am sorry that I make you feel cold," Torak said softly and placed his warm palms on either side of Raine\'s face. He always felt warm, no matter how cold the weather was.

"What is bothering you?" Raine ignored the look of concern in Torak\'s eyes, since she could feel something more to his strange behavior at this time.

Of course Torak felt worried about his mate, but there was more into it than he felt right now which he wouldn\'t want to share with her. At least not yet.

"Nothing, my love." Torak shook his head. "Let\'s sleep."

"If there is nothing, why do you keep blocking me from your mind?" Raine couldn\'t read his mind ever since both of them felt the anguishing pain for losing Raphael.

"Please, let\'s talk about this later," Torak pleaded. And it was already very strange of him to plead someone.

Yet, seeing how disturbed Torak was now, Raine agreed and let this matter pass for the time being. "I am here if you need me."
