They were ready to go to Rieka and all the preparations were in place.
For this journey, they didn't plan on taking a plane neither would they be willing to take the land transportation. Because, it would be very risky as the last piece of news they got their hands on told them that there were a total of five incidents where planes crashed into one another for no apparent reason leading to chaos.
It almost felt like the end of the world instead of the beginning of a war between the lycanthropes and the devils, or maybe thinking in such likes wasn't wrong either.
Therefore, they chose to make use of the witches and wizards who came with them. These spell casters would assist them by teleporting their people in small groups to Rieka.
However, it would take rather long, since they couldn't teleport all of them at the same time. And now, Belinda was needed to play a part in this since she was also a witch.
She would teleport all the three Donovan brothers and the guardian angels, and as for Sybil, she would teleport the Beta, Gamma and some of their lycan warriors. And, the rest would go with the other witches or wait for the remaining packs and their witches to come to fulfill the supreme Alpha's call.
But, before that Raine and Lilac wanted to see baby Eddard, since the baby would be left under Rossie and Bree's care.
It meant Calleb needed to bid Rossie a goodbye again, even so, at least for this time, he could be rest assured that she would be fine.
"Can I hold the baby?" Lilac asked, stretching her arms. For some reasons she didn't know herself, she was very fond of this baby, she liked the smell of milk that lingered on him. Even though, it was an undeniable fact that she didn't know Raphael or Lana for a long time, she cared for Eddard with all her heart nonetheless.
"Of course, " Rossie said, handing over the baby to Lilac, while Raine stood beside the latter, mesmerized by how tiny the baby was. Eddard was awake now and his green eyes looked at them with curiosity.
"While you are with Eddard, I want to steal Rossie for a while, " Calleb poked his head into the room and stared at his mate expectantly, just like a little boy waiting for his candy.
"I leave you with the baby for a while, " Rossie said sheepishly.
But then, Calleb's face fell when Raine spoke in a teasing tone, "Bree, you can go with them."
"No, I want someprivate time with my mate, alone!" Calleb rejected Raine's idea and took Rossie's hand immediately, as if someone was about to steal the girl.
On the other hand, Bree tilted her head."I don't want to go with them, both of them will glare at me."
Raine and Lilac laughed when they heard that."Alright, maybe you can help us watch over Eddard then..." Raine said, caressing the girl's cheek and saw Calleb and Rossie flee from this room, not willing to wait for another second, just so they could be alone.
==============
Calleb took Rossie into a different room on the same floor and immediately kicked the door close, then he pinned her against the wall, taking her by surprise with a deep and passionate kiss.
The Beta didn't want to leave her, not even for a second after what had happened to her just a few days ago, and after what had happened to Raphael and Lana...
Calleb realized, in their current situation, no one could guarantee whether they would live to see each other again or not.
Death was an unpredictable event and it felt like it was prowling at the corner of their consciousness, as a reminder that any second could be their last moment.
However, no matter how hard Calleb wanted to stay or how hard he wanted Rossie to come with him, they knew neither of the two options were possible and they had to be separated once again, as it would be the best for them right now.
Rossie was not a fighter and Calleb couldn't feel his inner beast, he needed to sort out this matter first, or else he wouldn't even stand a chance to survive this long war, let alone fight the enemy.
Therefore, even for these few seconds, Calleb wanted to cherish every moment he had with his mate, savoring her presence and let her sweet scent linger on him, let his lips remember the softness of hers.
"I really want to mark you..." Calleb panted softly as he rested his forehead against Rossie's, he could feel the girl's erratic heart beat drumming against his own chest after their kiss.
"I want you to mark me too..." Rossie said softly yet boldly. She let Calleb know that she wished for the same thing, just like him.
Yet, that was only wishful thinking on their part which wouldn't happen any soon. Both of them knew it. Find authorized novels in, faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=13952362506619705)/to-do-list_%!d(string=50950908028180212) for visiting.
The mate bond would become stronger when Calleb marked her and it wouldn't go well with the fact they would stay miles apart only after a few minutes.
Therefore, both of them chuckled for mentioning something impossible.
"When all of this is over, that will be on the top of my to-do list, " Calleb said, kissing her lips once again, and he felt Rossie smiling against his, as she nodded her head.
Rossie had never felt like this before, having a mate was a wonderful feeling and she was right all along. This was her dream since she was only a little girl, the only thing that she regretted was; her mother and her brother, Ian wouldn't be able to see her happiness...
Calleb ended their kiss when he noticed that Rossie was sobbing softly."What happened? Did I hurt you?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.
Rossie shook her head."I miss them..."
And Calleb didn't need any further explanation to know who Rossie was referring to. She missed her family of course, as she had to be alone once again. Ethan would go with them to Rieka and Sterling still didn't regain his consciousness.
"I know sweety..." Calleb pulled her into a warm hug as he kissed the top of her head, while he caressed her back to soothe her sadness.
"Please, come back..." Rossie's voice was barely a whisper.
"Of course, I will." Calleb was determined to keep his promise."After all, I want to have one or six pups with you, that was my second priority in that to-do list of mine."
And Rossie laughed heartily at that statement.
