Chapter 931   - SOMETHING HIDEOUS

"You killed Reynold?" Lord Bayle narrowed his eyes at the bloody heart which had just stopped short after rolling on the ground. It didn't even cross his mind that Torak would disregard everything and kill the dragon lord before today, a very atrocious act on the latter's part.

It meant, in a fit of his anger, there was a possibility that he would kill him too.

All of a sudden, Lord Bayle could feel his blood running cold. "You killed Reynold, which means you lost the control over the earth dragon shifters. You need us now!"

Torak smirked. "I don't need creatures in my troop who would stab me on the first chance they were given." He nodded to his people and in the next second, the dragon shifter was surrounded by the lycan warriors.

A hundred of his dragon people weren't even capable of standing for ten minutes if Torak gave an order to attack. However, Lord Bayle still had one more card under his sleeves.

With a smile that didn't reflect his calmness, he looked at Torak and Raine. "I came here to collect the reward that Ethan promised to us. After we got the baby, we will leave in peace and even help you in the upcoming war with the devils."

"The baby won't be leaving this place neither will you," Raine said. She glared at Lord Bayle fiercely upon hearing they would take Raphael's son away. How dare them to post such a demand!

"You can't kill me," Lord Bayle said confidently. "If you still don't know, I will tell you that Ethan and I…"

"Have agreed upon a cross heart vow," Torak cut off his words. "Yes, I know."

The dragon shifter looked even more restless when he saw Stephan stepped forward along with his people. It was now clear as a day with the way the earth dragon shifters standing behind the lycans that Torak had won their loyalty by making Stephan as their new lord to replace Reynold.

What a bold move from Torak! Lord Bayle fell into a contemplation over this. He didn't even think that he would be facing such a complicated situation here.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=13952362506619705)/something-hideous_%!d(string=50907748153479936) for visiting.

Instead of taking away the baby by threatening Torak, it seemed that he was the person who was in danger now.

But why did he feel like the losing party in this bidding when he was the one who had the advantage of this vow?

This was simply ridiculous.

"If you have known that we made that vow, you should also know that Ethan should keep that promise and you can't do anything to me," Lord Bayle said, ignoring the angry glares from both Torak and Raine.

"I don't have much time to talk leisurely with you like this or deal with your insolent behavior for that matter," Torak said. "I want you to reverse the vow."

Lord Bayle laughed out loud when he heard what Torak suggested to him. The Alpha should have known better than to push his limits.

It was possible to ask him to lift the vow, but to reverse it? What exactly was in Torak's mind which said that he would be willing to do it? Discard his precious life for a lycan's?

To reverse the vow, it meant if something happened to Ethan, or if that young lycan died, he would lose his life as well. Regardless of the cause of his death.

No. Of course he would never do that.

"Alpha, are you sure that is your demand?" Lord Bayle asked Torak in the end of his laughter. "Don't you think that it is impossible for me to obey?"

"You will obey." There was no hesitation in Torak's words.

At this point, those dragon shifters were akin to someone who walked into their own grave willingly by visiting this place and incurred Torak's wrath.

They had already lost too many people and Raphael was someone important for the Alpha. Why would Bayle think that Torak would be kind enough to lower his head and meet his demand?

"What if I say no?" Lord Bayle looked at Torak provokingly, yet the same time with a palpable curiosity in those eyes.

"Then this is what will happen to you," Raine said.

Lord Bayle almost jumped out of his skin when he found Raine standing beside him. A loud gasp behind him indicated that those dragon shifters were too taken by surprise when the guardian angel disappeared and reappeared before their eyes in a split second.

"This is what will happen to you…" Raine said in a deep tone, as she touched the dragon lord.

Torak saw Raine walking toward the dragon lord before she stopped the time. He let her to do whatever she wanted to do, since he knew that she was still protected and within his reach if something went wrong.

But, moreover, he knew that Raine was more than capable to protect herself against this dragon people.

Not only Torak, Raine also felt the anguish overwhelm her entire being after losing Raphael. The Beta was someone whom she cherished the most, thus there was no way they would give up baby Eddard to these filthy creatures.

At first, Lord Bayle didn't understand why Raine grabbed his arm, as he couldn't feel any noticeable pain or something of the likes.

"Luna Raine, I don't think this is appropriate for you to touch me casually like this in front of your mate," Lord Bayle said, as he flashed her a smile.

"You don't need to worry about that but you better start worrying about yourself." Raine reciprocated his smile and as if on cue, the people behind Lord Bayle gasped in shock for the second time.

The dragon lord was confused, he didn't feel anything wrong with him or any pain. Raine wouldn't hurt him knowing that she would hurt Ethan too, right?

With a bewildered face, he turned around and looked at his people. Their eyes reflected fear and apprehension.

What was happening?

"You don't need to worry about death, as long as I live, you will live as well." Raine knew the dragon people were not immortal, their life was longer than any other creature, but they would grow old and die eventually. "In this way."

Dismayed, Lord Bayle lowered his head to check on himself, only then did he realize that Raine had done something hideous to him.

He saw his own fingers which now looked like thin sticks that were barely wrapped with wrinkled skin…
