Chapter 8 - her world is destroyed

Author's POV

Natan carried the woman's body with her baby, even though it was only a little, but he saw a ripple from her empty eyes.

Verity's weak hands embraced the figure of a baby born dead with dry skin as if his blood had been sucked out by something.

As soon as the three guards intended to do terrible things to the babies who died there, they quickly died from drinking the alcohol that Nathan had poisoned. The three spewed blood from all the holes in their bodies; he couldn't help but carry the two people in this carriage into the forest and leave them there.

"I'm sorry, this is all I can do..." he said, getting off the train and carrying Verity's body in his arms to put Verity in the middle of the forest. "My mother's told me the story; someone here can help you. He was very kind and felt warm; my mother had survived the fog of death here because she was too deep to find medicinal herbs. And I hope you, too, can be saved and live well. Sorry... I have to hurry to save my sister..." he continued putting Verity's body on the dry leaves with his baby.

There was a sting of discomfort in his heart when he saw the figure of the baby whose skin touched Natan's body; it felt freezing. His body was already stiff. Moreover, this woman's condition was genuinely terrible after being raped cruelly. Natan can do nothing but kill them. He was also afraid, especially when his sister was in the grip of one of those he had destroyed; she must have taken his sister away before he was found out.

"I'm sorry, please forgive me… everything I did was to bail my sister out of the brothel. I can only help you get here; please don't hold a grudge against me..." he said again with reddened eyes holding back tears and the horror of walking alone with the carriage into the forest of Osiris.

Leaving their friends sprawled by their bonfire last time and unable to get up, all three are dead from the poison.

Verity's body was left with a baby who was born lifeless; his body was emaciated like something had just sucked his blood. It looked terrible, but she hugged the dead little body trying to protect it from the cold night wind. Her eyes no longer looked at the young man who helped her from the three guards who deliberately wanted to rape her while she was dying.

They were hideous and didn't deserve to live; even so, there was no hope for her when she weakly gave birth to a stillborn baby. Her energy was already depleted; she could not even take a single breath.

"Mom is here, we will be together... sorry for having to bring you to be born into this rotten world..." she said while blinking slowly when she realized that her eyes were starting to turn black; she had to die with an uneasy heart thinking about the two traitors who made her life like it was before.

Just as Verity was about to close her eyes, someone stood before her, and she looked up only to see darkness.

His leaf-green eyes were sharp, his thick eyebrows furrowed with anger, and his lips growled with the tears on Verity's face. He looked like a Greek god, tall and muscular. His clothes looked luxurious even in the forest; a green light enveloped his body in the darkness.

Like fireflies, it is warm, but the cold air is gripping, and the tree branches are lowered to the ground as if to greet their arrival.

"How could it be like this..." said the man carrying Verity's body with her baby away from there and disappeared amid death.

....

It was warm that Verity struggled to open her tired eyes, but even so, she tried and was surprised by the sparkling light in front of her. Blinking a few times to get used to it, she finally saw dots of light flying around him.

"Master... we were only able to save one of them..."

"Forgive us..."

"It's fine, but save this girl." said a different voice, sounding heavy and immature like a light flying above him.

"Ah... She wakes up!!"

The voices came from the lights, and when Verity wanted to reply to their words, a hand covered her eyes, and she fell back asleep.

"Why..." but Verity's voice trailed off just as her consciousness faded.

.....

That morning Jacob received news that the guards who escorted his ex-mate died, he ordered several warriors to look for the whereabouts of his former mate, but they did not find any bodies there other than the remains of last night's bonfire.

One person survived, but the man was silent with a pale face and empty eyes. The man was Natan, who managed to swap his sister after ordering him to escape from the Moon pack because he believed that a punishment would come for him for surviving alone.

And now, he is in the prison room, his hands are tied behind his back, and his body is covered in blood due to the emotion of the alpha asking him for answers.

"Tell me, where is the body of the prisoner?!" he asked in a demanding tone; suddenly, everyone in the prison shuddered horribly. "Answer me, or I will order the soldiers to take turns raping your sister!!" he threatened impatiently.

But he got no answer other than a sad laugh from Nathan; the young boy looked up with his face covered in blood.

"Heh, right. Before I ran away, I also saw that woman being raped while she was dying—" Nathan had not finished speaking, but his mouth had already kissed the alpha's shoes.

"WATCH YOUR MOUTH, DAMN IT!!" he shouted while kicking Natan's body many times until he gasped for breath.

A grin sounded brief before his laughter returned, "Hahaha— you must be surprised, alpha. So did I; he almost died; his stomach was blue. They laughed and raped him without conscience. I thought of running away after killing those three damn people, but she gave birth to a horrible child as if his body's blood was sucked away, leaving his bones and skin red!"

The blue eyes widened; everyone was quite shocked at the words of a lowly guard who dared to speak so much while in front of his death.

"She's even still trying to maintain her son's body temperature, but it seems like the two bodies have been eaten by monsters in Sorin Wood which everyone knows has mysterious things that everyone hasn't found until now." He explained at length without getting hit again; his body was still stretched out on the cold and damp bloodstained ground.

The blood in his nose had stopped, but his head was getting dizzy, his eyes were heavy, and the sound of his breathing slowly disappeared. A dagger stabbed right through his heart, a silver dagger that could kill a wolf.

"Throw the body into the woods nearby; no one will bury it!!" he said, turning around and leaving Natan's corpse; he took the towel the guard had given him and returned to his room.

Jacob cleaned himself in his room; he leaned against the bathtub covering his face with one hand. What he heard from the young guard shocked him; he didn't think his former mate would die.

And when he was silent, he suddenly coughed hard many times and spat out blood. His hand saw blood, and he got up from the bathtub to stand, but his cough worsened.

That caught the attention of the guards and maids outside; they rushed inside.

"Alpha!! Call the doctor, quickly call the doctor!" said the maid who led him out of the bathroom, handing his a bathrobe which, in the end, was stained with blood.

That night there was an uproar in the castle in the alpha's room because their alpha coughed up blood so severely that he was unconscious; it brought great concern.

.....

Again Verity woke up in a strange place, the sky walking over her eyes.

"Where...cough!! Cough!!" her throat was parched, making the person by her side sit her down immediately.

"Drink this." Said someone covered in a cloth mask and wearing a straw hat; Verity could only see her sky-blue eyes, which were very beautiful up close.

After she drank three sips, she realized that her body was shivering coldly, "Cold..." her lips trembled violently from shivering.

"Is she still shivering?" asked someone wearing the same mask as someone in front of her.

"Yeah, she's still shivering. Quickly bring the carriage faster; we have to find a doctor."

"My baby?" she asked the girl before her.

"Sleep; your baby is with us." Answer the mysterious woman nodded her.
