Chapter 46

Lawrence POV:

I jerk from sleep, feeling immense pain in my heart like something is pulling away from me.

My breath becomes heavy, and my heart pangs in pain. I turn to see Kate asleep, just like the angel she is.

I brush strands of hair from her face.

"Wait a minute," I mumble, placing my hands on her forehead.

"Her body is so cold," I mutter under my breath.

"Kate, wake up. You must be feeling cold," I say, but there's no movement from her.

I try shaking her shoulder but nothing.

"Is she... No, it can't be," I exclaim, pushing away negative thoughts.

I bring my index finger under her nose to get any sign of breathing but nothing.

I jump off the bed before holding her wrist and checking for a pulse but feel nothing. She remains lifeless.

I drop her hand, moving back in shock and confusion. Travis whines as my heart thunders in my chest and my heart rips into pieces.

Tears run down my cheeks. I howl, falling on my knees.

"Lawrence, what's going on? I felt myself losing someone, and here you are howling and in tears," Mum asks, rushing into the room scared and surprised.

Everyone rushes into the room, confusion and concern evident on their faces.

I feel so weak and dead. My life is taken away all of a sudden.

"Kate. Kate. Wh-what's wrong with her? She's n-n-not getting up," Alex stutters, brushing her hand through Kate's hair.

Melanie walks towards Kate's lifeless body on the bed before taking her wrist.

"She's dead," Melanie whispers, not believing her own words.

"No, it can't end like this," Grace cries out, falling on her knees while Jack tries to console her by hugging her tightly.

Anderson consoles Lillian as she breaks down in tears while Dad hugs Mum tightly as she cries.

Hunter growls in agony, digging his claws into the palm of his hands, blood dripping on the floor.

I rise to my feet. I glance at the lifeless body of Kate before rushing at of the room, ignoring their calls.

I entered the gym, my eyes red, claws and fangs out. My breathing is heavy as my chest rises and falls.

I punch the punching bag with so much force, breaking it off the hook.

I continue my torture. My body aches, but I don't care because I feel dead. The pain in my heart is so much more than the ache of my bones.

"Why?" I cry in anguish. "Why did you have to take her from me, Moon Goddess?"

I feel the urge to kill and destroy anything that comes my way. I make my way out of the gym, looking for blood.

I walk towards the movie room to find three young pack warriors watching a movie. "Their blood won't be enough to quench my thirst," I say, sounding and feeling different.

But before I can get to them, two hands pull me back with force. I growl at who stopped me from completing my quest.

"I can't hold him much longer," Anderson cries out as I try pulling his hands off me.

I feel something being injected into me before losing consciousness.

Melanie POV:

Lawrence is dragged into the cells after losing consciousness. With Kate dead, Lawrence will be miserable and become a deadly beast. Whenever a lycan loses its mate, the lycan becomes a killing machine, seeking blood.

"I need to say something," I say, taking a seat in the dining room. As everyone does the same, I tell them about the legend. 

"But the legend never said anything about the chosen male being a king or the girl dying," I say in confusion.

"What do you mean," Hunter asks.

"What I am trying to say is the legend is different from what is happening now," I say warily.

"But I don't understand. What is going on here? Kate can't just die this way," Mathias says.

"The Goddess of Darkness must have a hand in what's going on," I say with hatred.

"Who is this goddess of darkness?" Anderson asks.

"She controls evil and darkness in the world. She vowed to destroy the Moon Goddess and her children."

"This was the reason the Moon Goddess sent Travis and Tiara to protect and guild her children, but the Goddess of Darkness decided to kill them both. The Moon Goddess was so desperate to keep them away from the Goddess of Darkness, she placed a curse on them, filling them with hatred for each other, and only the mate bond could bring them together. The Goddess of Darkness saw this and took advantage of the hatred in the girl's heart, filling it with darkness and anger for the world. The Goddess of Darkness could only destroy the world if Travis and Tiara die."

"Can't the Moon Goddess stop her from causing destruction?" Lillian asks.

"It was too late for her to do anything, but she was able to bless them with a guardian to protect and guide them for when the Goddess of Darkness comes to kill them."

"But if they were to save the world, why would the Moon Goddess let Kate die this way?" Levi asks, confused.

"You can't understand the mind of the Moon Goddess," I say.

"But since Kate is dead, does that mean the Goddess of Darkness is going to attack soon?" Levi asks in worry.

"Yes, but I feel she is using someone for her evil deeds because she can't kill Kate that easily in her sleep without the Moon Goddess fighting for Kate's life," I say, contemplating different scenarios in my mind.

"Who can this person be?" Alex asks.

"The question we should ask ourselves is what is going to happen next?" I say, succumbing to defeat.
