The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 921 - OVERWHELMING

"You felt it too, right?" Jedrek talked to Torak when they were having lunch with their mates and two Alphas from Torak's pack who just arrived last night with some people from the red river city.

"The firebird," Torak said while cutting the meat on his plate and when he was done, he changed his plate with Raine's.

And Jedrek did the same for Lilac. The king had never done something like this before, but a few days with Torak, he learnt one or two which could make his mate a little happy in these gloomy days.

Even so, Jedrek would never admit that out loud for the world to hear it.

"Something is calling our inner beast." Jedrek cut the meat for himself and started to eat.

"If the fire bird is your inner spirit, it can be Hope," Lilac joined the conversation after giving some thought about it. "But, why did she call? Does something happened in Rieka?"

Lilac looked at the two Alphas and one of them spoke about the information which they got their hands on. "The electricity in Rieka was cut off because two planes crushed into each other and ruined their power lines in the process."

"Two airplanes crashed into one another?" Jedrek frowned, it sounded strange. "We need to go there immediately."

"Let's postpone until Calleb and the rest are here," Raine said softly and five pair of eyes stared at her questioningly. "They will arrive soon, together with Raphael's baby," she said.

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

"Calleb!" Jack approached him when the latter was still inside the car, even lyrus followed closely behind him. They could smell his scent the moment he came into this property.

Calleb hit the breaks when Jack just jumped in front of the car and opened the door. "You want to die?!" he roared irritably.

"Being hit by a car will not kill me, buddy!" Jack immediately pulled him into a hug and patted his back, the gesture was more like he was trying to hit him though. "I am glad you are here and alive."

Calleb grinned and returned the hug. "So do I." Yet, it pained him when he remembered he couldn't say the same thing about Raphael.

"Who else did you bring?" Asked Lyrus, as he sniffed the air. He had been away from the castle for so many days, so he didn't know many people who came there recently.

Meanwhile, Ethan got down from the car and opened the door for Rossie, who was holding baby Eddard in her arms, followed by Bree and the dwarf.

"A dwarf?" Lyrus and Jack scrunched their noses at the same time at the sight of that stunted creature, didn't even bothering to hide their unpleasant feelings.

"Yes? Is there a problem with that?" Nutdrouk gave them a contemptuous smile and walked toward Calleb. "See? I told you, it will be better if I don't come here."

Calleb rolled his eyes. "Don't be so cranky," he grumbled and walked toward Rossie, as he swiftly took the baby from her arms. "This is my mate!"

Despite the atmosphere didn't really suit Calleb's current mood and it wasn't really a great time to introduce Rossie, but the Gamma was very happy and excited to let them know that he had found his other half.

"You are his mate?" Jack frowned and stared at Rossie up and down. "But, you are beautiful," he murmured, as though Rossie was far from his expectations about how Calleb's mate would look like.

"What are you looking at?" Calleb stepped in front of Rossie to block this unmated lycan's sight from seeing his mate too much.

Jack was about to protest when he caught sight of the baby in Calleb's arms. He shrieked dramatically while covering his mouth, like an old lady. "That's your baby?! You just gone for a few weeks and you already have a baby?!"

Calleb was really tempted to kick this warrior. "This is Raphael and Lana's baby," he said grimly.

And then the light atmosphere became heavy with the mention of the late Beta and his mate's names.

"Let???s go inside, the wind outside is very cold, the baby will get sick," Lyrus said to break the ice among them, as he walked first into the dragon shifter's mansion.

"Belinda and a few people from the pack are here too, she will be excited to see Raphael's firstborn," Jack muttered after clearing his throat as he eyed the baby in Calleb's arms with interest. "Can I hold the baby?" he asked curiously when the baby stared back at him with the same green color eyes like Raphael's.

"No," Calleb replied shortly.

Jack grumbled when he heard Calleb's emotionless answer and struggled to take few more peek sat the baby while they were walking toward the building.

Meanwhile, Calleb was holding the baby in one hand and Rossie's hand in another, as Ethan, Bree and the dwarf walked behind him.

Once Calleb was climbing the stairs, leading to the terrace, he could hear a high-pitched woman's voice from inside the mansion along with the sound of her hurried footsteps.

The sound of it, made Calleb feel a fuzzy warm feeling in his cold heart and brought a smile on his face when he saw her figure in the middle of the door frame.

"Calleb!" Belinda squealed and rushed down the stairs with her arms opened wide, ready to squeeze the day lights out of the Gamma before she stopped abruptly, as she caught sight of the baby in Calleb's arms. "This…"

"Raphael and Lana's first son…" Calleb didn't know how to continue the rest of his words, as the very mention of the late Beta's name brought a mix of emotions that burst in his heart, especially when Belinda started to cry very hard.

They couldn't control the anguish, when their memories of Raphael resurfaced. Every tiny bit of the memory of the Beta came back to them all at once.

He would always be missed…

Standing at the door behind Belinda, Calleb saw Raine, with her eyes filled with tears and Torak beside her, staring at the baby with a rare smile and soft gaze.
