<b>Chapter 97 </b>


    “My king…” Karin tried to call for the king. Her voice was trembling, so did her whole body. “My king… <b>please</b>, calm down…” She followed the beast’s line of sight, and figured he was staring at his mate.


    “Karin… don’t….” ric said in a low voice, he was holding his breath without him knowing it, because he knew one wrong move, and he would be dead. He would be killed just like those warriors out there. “Come over here…” he said to Karin.


    Karin was not able to tell, but ric was familiar with the way the beast stared at his mate, who wasying on the ground. It <b>was </b>an obsession and an overprotectiveness.


    Many male shifters with a high rank would show this possessiveness, and the intensity would depend on how dominant you were.


    Obviously, no one couldpare to the Mad King in that case. He was a beast through and through.


    “Come here, you will only get yourself killed.” ric was nervous to leave his daughter with the king without any protection, but if his guts feeling was right, Rania would be fine.


    Even if the king was deep into his madness, his beast would remember his mate. That was the thing with shifter, the magic of the mate bond. It would keep your sanity anchor to reality.


    However, ric talked too much and this caught the angry beast’s attention.


    The huge ck wolf started to walk toward the former beta, his fangs on full disy. The beast lowered its body, ready to attack, and ric knew he wouldn’t have a chance to survive if the king attacked him.


    He was barely able to keep his consciousness, let alone to shift and fight. Even the warriors in their hayday would find it hard to fight against the king.


    “My king, no!” Karin watched in horror when they king’s beastunched toward ric.


    That was it.


    ric thought this was the end of it.


    However, ever so softly, Rania’s voice whispered in the thickness of the tension inside the dungeon. It was hard to hear her, but it was enough to make the beast halted.


    “Maximus…”


    Rania felt the acute pain in her lower abdomen, it was so hard for her to move, but she still used all of her strength to call him.


    She didn’t know why she did that, since she hated her father so much, but in the critical moment, she saved his life. She couldn’t bring herself not to do it.


    “No, please…” Rania curled her body, she was trembling. No matter how many nkets that Karin put on her, she felt very cold.


    The beast stopped. He was <b>so </b>close to killing ric off.<fne291> ?????? ???? FindN0vel</fne291>


    For a moment, the ck beast only stood there quietly, staring at Rania’s pitiful figure without doing anything. The beast didn’t <b>even </b>try to get closer to her, but Rania could feel his heated


    <b>gaze</b>.


    “Maximus…” Rania stretched out <b>her </b>hand, tears streamed down her face.


    But then, she felt there <b>was </b>something warm that leaked between her legs, and all of them could smell the strong scent of blood.


    Rania <b>was </b>bleeding profusely.


    ***


    Finally, Eiten killed thest warrior that blocked their way.


    From the mindlink, he knew that the intruder had retreated and the king was fine, he was in the dungeon right now, but no one there to go and check on him, because they were afraid of him.


    Eiten told them to avoid the king, because he didn’t want Maximus to have a killing spree on their people, as the enemy had fled.


    “Are you going to see Maximus?” Den asked, he shifted back into his human form, he was too tired to keep up with his beast form, so did Eiten, who took the brunt during the fight.


    Den was not shabby in fighting, but the royal beta was not built for this, therefore Eiten had to pay close attention to him as well.


    “Yes. I am worried.”


    “I will go with you.”


    Eiten didn’t mind Dene with him, because he needed all the help he could gather to get Maximus back to reality.


    Something like this happened in the past when Maximus ran rampant killing the people in the pce, leaving a strong smell of blood in his wake for several days.


    And during that time, only Den and Eiten, who could reach him.


    Therefore, if something like that happened again now, thy would have a better chance to get Maximus back if it was the two of them.


    Along their way to the dungeon, they watched the aftermath of Maximus’s rage. There were many dead bodies in a gruesome state. They could tell it was Maximus’s doing from the brutality alone.


    This will not be good…” Eiten dreaded the worse, and Den shared the same sentiment as well.


    Both of them hastened their steps when the smell of blood was getting stronger the further they went into


    Rania’s cell.

    “No way…” Eiten muttered under his breath. His first thought was; Maximus had harmed Rania. He had smelled Rania’s blood before, and the air mixed with it.


    The closer they got, the clearer they heard Karin’s distressed voice.


    “What’s going on?!” Eiten arrived first, and his eyes widened to see the sight before him. “No… What happened?” He immediately looked for Maximus.


    He was still in his beast form, standing in front of Rania, while Karin tried to talk with him.


    “Please, my king, let me check her…” Karin was pleading, her voice was trembling.


    She was worried about Rania’s current state, but she couldn’t get closer to her due to the ck beast was standing guard beside her, snarling viciously.


    Meanwhile, not so far from them ric was bleeding. He had lost his consciousness. He was dying.


    “Royal gamma Eiten, please… thedy is bleeding, she is having a miscarriage, we are going to lose her too if the king didn’t allow me to check her!”
