  I kept hearing all the vicious growls all around me even when the storm kept enraging with each passing second. But it seemed that nothing could stop us tonight, from taking down the entire army of that traitor Benjamin.

  It did not take much time to get all tainted with their nasty blood, as my swords did not betray me at such a moment and kept slashing each one of the wolves into half without a second thought. Their lifeless bodies kept piling up around me, but still, there were many to take down.

  “You should not have come here. Go back. Right now. Save yourself, please.” I heard Kazan begging ever so desperately to Summer, even when he could not let himself free from those attacks, still, he was thinking of Summer.

  And I knew very well, what he was worried about. He was not wrong though. But at this moment, I was more concerned about Kazan that I was not willing to take Summer away either, when we both were trying hard to protect each one of us, together.

  Looking at Summer, it seemed that she had no intention to listen to him as well, as she replied Kazan with a horrifying growl, showing her complete disapproval.

  But, I knew that Kazan was not going to let go of the fact that she did not care to listen to him. Cause, instead of saving himself, he was even trying to get to Summer first, so that he could protect her.

  “You have to go.” Kazan roared in utmost anger, while he did not stop throwing the limp bodies of wolves that he just killed by strangling them to death with his bare hands.

  Time passed by, and we were successfully taking down the whole army, as there were not many of them left. And tonight, we were not at all letting any one of the wolves go back alive, to tell Benjamin what exactly happened here.

  Markus became something else tonight, as he never stopped crashing the wolves down on the grown with his huge claws while Sam was no different. And Kazan was still standing on his legs even when his body was completely wounded. Doesn't he feel any kind of pain?

  I did not have much time to think as I was busy as well. But little did I know that there was someone else present, who was yet to do what he was best at.

  Yes, I did not notice that Adrian was there all this while.

  Seeing the entire army was almost killed by the four of us, he might have freaked out, realising that he would also be lying dead just like his fellows, in no time.

  Lightning flashed all of a sudden, and I the slightest light, I saw something was singing even in the dark. It took me no time to realise that Adrian was holding the silver blade in his hand while waiting for the right time to attack Summer, so that he could make all of us stop fighting, only to earn enough time for himself to flee out of our sight tonight.

  But even before I could do something to warn Sam about Adrian's presence just behind her, while she was busy ripping apart the body of another wolf, being absolutely unaware of what was going to happen next, I heard,

  “Sam!!! Watch out...” The horrifying scream made all of our eyes turn to Kazan, just when I saw that Adrian had already lifted up the blade only to stab her from behind, just like the previous time.

  But, in a flash of a second, I watched just before my eyes, that Kazan rushed to her and shoved her huge body aside with all his strength, causing him to fall down on the ground, while the vicious silver blade went right through the rib of Kazan, without any mercy.

  It seemed that both Sam and Markus did not fail to see what just happened right before their sight as their ferocious growls shook the earth beneath terribly.

  Kazan who was still standing high irrespective of his wounded condition, now fell on the ground at last, while Markus, took the most aggressive leap on Adrian only to rip his head apart from his body like a vicious beast, ruthlessly, within just a flash of a second.

  Episode 66

  Summer's P.O.V

  I could not realise what just happened until I saw Kazan fell down on the ground, and Adrian was standing just in front of him, holding the silver blade in his hand which was now dripping with blood.

  No no no....

  Nooooooooo!!!!!

  Not now, please Kazan.

  I had never felt this much helpless that I was feeling now seeing Kazan just got stabbed, only to save me? Did he just choose to die because of me?

  Does he have no value for his own life?

  How could he?

  Kazan!!!!!!!

  I growled desperately, as I could not think what I should do now?

  Everything that was happening all around me became completely blur, as I was just seeing Kazan lying on the ground and the blood from his body was flowing down on the ground with no intention to stop, making a huge pool underneath him.

  I got up and rushed to his side only to find that he was barely breathing. I tried to wake him up, I pushed him with my paw, I tried to keep his heart beating but it seemed that nothing was bringing him back to how he was just a while ago. I licked his wounds so that it could heal faster, but no...as if I was just trying something make something impossible to happen.

  No, Kazan!!!! You need to stay awake.

  You need to stay alive.

  Please, do not do this to me now.

  Please, I am begging you.

  Please.

  He did not respond for a while and just kept looking at me with his almost closed eyes. I could clearly see that his breathings were becoming shallow with each passing second. And I could think of nothing to save him, as my mind became all blank.

  I shifted back in no time, without caring the least about the fact that I had no clothes on me to cover my bare body. Cause, for now, it was only Kazan who mattered to me.

  “Kazan, please look at me. I am here.” I kept stroking his face with my cold and wet palm, so that he keeps his eyes open, showing me that he was still alive and willing to fight with death a little more.

  But, in no time, he gathered the last bit of strength only to pull me into his chest and turned aside in order to cover me up with his huge body, even though his condition did not change at all but even worsen.

  “Kazan, do not leave me like this please.” I kept begging him while the tears did not stop flooding my eyes even for a moment, without much of my realisation.

  “Forgive me, Summer.” His low voice came to my ears merely and I could not hold myself back anymore, and let the tears fall without caring much about what he would say, cause I was feeling that my heart was being snatched away from me ever so brutally.

  I did not know that I would even feel such pain seeing the one dying, whom I thought I hated the most now.

  But no. I was wrong.

  I do not want him to leave me any more.

  “If you want me to forgive you, then keep fighting to stay alive. For me, for our pup, Kazan. We need you the most. I need you. Can you hear me? I need you.” I said ever so desperately, but I did not know if he heard me or not.

  “No more promises, Summer. I do not want to make deals with you anymore. But I want you to know, that I really wanted to stay together with you and our pup. Could you please tell our pup that daddy loved her, when she will be born?” Kazan still struggled to say, while he just could not make himself move even for a bit.

  “How would you know that it will be a girl or a boy? You need to stay alive for that. You have to tell our pup on your own, how much you love her. Do you get that?” I lifted up my hands and took his face into my palms, but he did not look at me at all.

  “Could you tell her that Daddy loved her Mommy as well?” Why? Why his each and every word was tearing me apart without any effort. What wrong I did in my last life that I had to lose all the people whom I ever loved. First mom and dad left me, and now Kazan. Why am I this much unfortunate?

  “No. You will tell her, yourself. I am not at all doing anything on behalf of you. Look at me, Kazan. Stay awake, I will call for help.” I said but I did not know how much he even listened.

  “Help!!!! Someone help Kazan! Please. Take him to the hospital. Now. Kaith!!!! Hurry! Please.” I shouted as much as I could, but I just co
uld not afford to get myself out of Kazan's hold, fearing that it might cause him even more pain.

  “You know, what Summer, I even planned to ask you to marry me tomorrow, but I did not know that I will not have time to do that, either. But I really want to know what you were going to answer if I had the time to ask you?” Kazan whispered, or was he losing all his strength to even speak properly. Why out of all the time, I got to hear this now?

  You are really ruthless, Kazan.

  “I am not at all going to consider this as a proposal, Kazan. You have to do it in the right way, later. Only then I would say yes to you. So, get up, we need to get to the hospital right now.” I tried to pull him up from the ground along with me, but it seemed that it was not at all possible for me alone.

  Why no one is coming even when I have already asked for help.

  “Kaith!!!! Hurry up. Help me to lift up Kazan.” I shouted once again impatiently, but it seemed that both of them were busy to take down the rest of the rogues.

  How much time will you need Kaith? Come quickly, please.

  I just could not endure the pain any more that my heart was feeling right now, as my head started to ache tremendously, while my entire body was becoming weaker than ever with each passing second. I was losing hope, bit by bit. My entire body did not stop trembling at all as Kazan's hand against my body kept becoming cold, slowly.

  I took his hand into my palms in an instant and tried to keep them warm just how he always used to be, but everything I did tonight, appeared all futile.

  “Kazan, stay strong, please. For me. For your pup at least. I can not live without you. Even if I get angry with you, I still can not imagine a life without you in it, Kazan. This little one inside me, needs her daddy too. You promised that you would never leave me. You promised that you will always stay by my side no matter what. And now I want you to keep your promise, Kazan.” I kept speaking to him while trying to buy some time to keep him awake. But for how long?

  Everything started to become a blur before my eyes, as the darkness started to grow all around us bit by bit and we kept lying on the ground under the heavy rainfall, without any help.

  “I love you so much, Summer.” That was what I hard the last from Kazan as he finally closed his eyes, without being able to hold on for long. I knew that his heart but still beating, slowly silently but it was still there and was fighting each and every second, even when he lost his consciousness.

  Those arms which were holding me till now, slid down on the ground, at last, making me all free and that too when I did not want him to stop holding me at all even for a second.

  “Kazan!!!! You can not do this to me. You can not die. Do you hear me?” I screamed as I just could not watch him leaving me in such a way tonight.

  The darkness grew even more, before my eyes, while Kazan's limp body was all I could see before my eyes.

  I did not know what happened next, but I felt that someone came right after and covered me with a cloth. My eyes were still only on Kazan who was somehow moving far and far away from me with each of my blinks.

  I was holding him till now but something made me lose my grip on him in the next second and then he was taken away out of my sight.

  I could not see clearly what exactly happened but I desperately wanted to be with him now. But no matter how much I wished to stay by his side, it seemed that I became completely unable to move and slowly I lost all my strength that I could not feel my body either.

  As the darkness grew even more than before, I felt that there was no need to keep my eyes open, cause I could no longer see Kazan anywhere near me.

  I closed my eyes slowly and soon I felt that someone lifted me up.

  The rain drops kept torturing me while I was feeling like I was moving somewhere as the wild wind kept brushing past my skin. I tried to open my eyes but it seemed that I even lost the last bit of will to do so.

  Why should I even try when I knew very well that I could not see my mate in front of my eyes now.

  But strangely, it seemed like I was lying on some kind of soft fluffy fur.

  I even felt the motion, but my mind was in no condition to think of what was happening with me.

  And that was the last thing I remember, before I lost all my consciousness tonight.

  .

  .

  .

  I was standing at the beach, facing the vast and endless ocean just before my eyes, while I kept my eyes far at the horizon and waited ever so patiently for the sun to come up, along with a new day as a new beginning.

  The sky was now a bit brighter than the dark night, making it very clear that the dawn had arrived already. The cold sea breeze blew past me, touching each cell of my body ever so softly. The soft waves of the ocean touched my tows, allowing me to feel their coldness while they disappeared right after forming the soft ripples, just before my eyes.

  I did not mind that the wind kept playing with my hair, while messing them up a little bit. I just kept my heart open to take all the nicest thing that nature has to bestow me with.

  A sudden giggle came to my ears just before I felt the tiny little hand wrapped around my finger in a desperate need to stand on those two tiny little legs, which was now willing to play in the cold water.

  I looked down and saw those beautiful pair of ocean blue eyes which is the most familiar to me. And this time there was so much excitement and innocence was written in them that I just could not ignore.

  So, I walked ahead for a little bit, holding the tiny little one in my hand, only to fulfil the wish that those cute little eyes asked me for.

  Lots of giggles filled my ears as well as my heart, in no time.

  And in the next moment, I felt a strong sturdy hand encircled around my waist from behind while he rested his chin on my shoulder, saying,

  “Enjoying it without me?” His deep voice came to me, while his warm breaths brushed against my ears, causing me to feel all those tingles once again, as if it was the first time. His most intoxicating smell clouded my mind in no moment, and I just could not imagine being happier than this moment, ever in my life.

  Somehow, I was feeling complete at last.

  It was really the life that I desired the most.

  But, the sudden happiness totally made me forgot about one thing.

  To figure out whether it is real or not.

  Episode 67

  Summer's P.O.V

  “When did you wake up.” I asked in a low voice, keeping my eyes closed for a moment only to feel the sweet torture that he had started with, just now. His cold lips were trailing on the curve of my neck while his warm breaths were kissing my skin every now and then only to leave me with a lot and lots of tingles everywhere on my body. The innumerable sparks that he was igniting inside me with his each and every touch were enough to heat up my body in an instant, making my cheeks go all red in the utmost pleasure.

  The cold breeze of dawn and the chilled water of the endless ocean was not at all enough to keep me calm now, while I was engulfed by the enticement of the one whom I love the most.

  I do not know how he is capable to make me feel this way each and every time with the slightest of his touch, and it was always enough for me to give rise the immense thirst to have him...to love him even more.

  “You two left me alone on the cold bed at such an early hour. Then how could I not wake up? I was missing the warmth so much, and when I opened my eyes I found out that both of you had already left me to wake up all on my own. How cruel was that?” He said in-between his soft little kisses with which he was now invading every inch of my neck, my shoulder, my ears and everywhere possible only to get back at me for leaving him alone. He did not even stop rubbing his head all around the place, bothering least about the fact that his each and every actions were arousing some kind of desire in both of us right at this moment. His soft hairs kept falling on my skin, making me tremble in some inexplicable sensation.

  Even though I kept my eyes closed all this while to feel whatever
he had to offer me right now with his little gesture, I kept holding the hand of my pup, who was busy playing with the water however he wished, right now.

  “Well, this little pup of yours, woke up even before dawn and was crying to go out to play. You were sleeping soundly, so how could I have woken you up. That was why I had to leave you alone.” I said. My eyes were still closed while I leaned my body back only to rest my head backwards on his shoulder, as he made sure to bend down a bit to my level only to go one with whatever he was doing. I was barely suppressing the moan which was already dying to come out of my throat at any time soon due to all the kisses he was cherishing me with. He even made sure to nibble my skin, leaving all the marks on my neck as the sign of his own possession, even when I was already his, for the rest of my life.

  “You should have woke me up instead when there is another one on the way. You need more rest, Summer. Did I not promise you all that I will look after you always?” He said just beside my ears, while he stretched his hands from behind, even more, only to touch my huge and swollen belly, ever so softly. His hands did not stop caressing my abdomen which was now grown enormous in size, as if he was trying to feel the one who was now sleeping inside me ever so peacefully.

  “I am fine. You do not need to worry. This is not the first time for me, you remember?” I said, seeing him all worried about us, even though I knew that nothing I said would make him relieved even for a bit, but still, I wanted him to know that he was doing his best as the father of the two.

  The cold sea breeze could not freeze us anymore as the heat that grew in-between us two, was more than enough to keep us warm, at this moment. This moment felt like a dream to me, but even if it was, I wanted to cherish every bit of it without any worry that I might wake up in no time and all these that I have now will be gone just in a matter of a second.

  Soon the first ray of the sun came to kiss us ever so politely, making the whole surrounding lit up with joy, announcing the arrival of the new sun and a whole new day with new hopes in all our lives, after a cold dark night.
