Found by the Lycan King

Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Zenovia “F c k.” Callahan swore as he noticed something was amiss. The transformation in his expression and body language was instant. From the heated gaze that had set my skin ablaze, his eyes turned sharp, cold as his shoulders stiffened. He looked up, and I followed suit to see faint c ks appearing on the surface of the ceiling as dirt began to seep through. I did not even get the time to scream as the next second; the ceiling came crashing down on us. The Lycan King had never really loosened his grip over me, but the sheer force of the explosion was so loud that the window. panes burst apart, showering us with pieces of glass I had been looking into his eyes, that were staring back at me with concern. It had been just a fleeting moment of tranquility right before we both were knocked off our feet. But then, without warning, the tranquility shattered. An ear-splitting explosion erupted, sending shockwaves through the hospital. In an instant, everything turned into a swirling vortex of chaos. The force of the blast flung us to the ground, our bodies crashing onto the unforgiving floor. For the next two minutes, dirt and rubble kept pouring on us and the sound of another explosion rocked the surrounding arca I was screaming, terrified of the walls that were collapsing, and wanted to desperately run away, but Callahan had me caged firmly under his body. Glass shattered, creating a deadly symphony of shards hurtling through the air. Debris rained down upon us, threatening to bury us beneath its weight. It was in that harrowing moment that Callahan, instinctively driven to protect, shielded me with his body, bracing against the impact.

My cars rang from the explosion’s deafening roar, and all I could perceive was a disorienting haze of noise and destruction. I clung desperately to Callahan. his solid presence offering a lifeline amidst the chaos. Fear coursed through my veins, fueled by adrenaline, as I struggled to make sense of the

situation. Through the swirling dust and rubble, I caught glimpses of the pale, gloomy room I had been in. It had transformed into at war zone, a scene of devastation that paled in comparison to the serene haven we had sought refuge in just moments before. The warm sunlight had been replaced by a sinister haze of smoke, choking the air with its acrid stench. Trembling, I reached out to touch Callahan, my fingers lightly grazing his cheek. His lips were hovering above mine, just a hair’s breadth away. He turned his head, his unwavering gaze looking around to survey the damage. A muscle in his jaw twitched and the soft gaze of his was replaced by a cold, ruthless one. My ears were still ringing from the sounds of the aftermath of the explosion and my heart was thundering in my chest, drowning all other noises. Slowly. I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was blood. Thick crimson blood was trickling out of his temples and his pristine white shirt was now red too, with patches of brown and grey. My eyes went wide, and I tried to open my mouth, to tell him to check the injuries, but he shook his head. He placed his finger on my lips as he whispered, “Shh, now I am going to help us both get up and leave you somewhere safe. Please don’t try to run away, okay?” I could only nod as he merely grunted before lifting us both up. I coughed and sneezed while he threw me on his shoulder and ran through the chaos, looking for a shelter. But there was none in the vicinity. Everything was reduced to rubble and there were dead bodies littered everywhere. Fresh panic coursed through my veins as he muttered, “Ok change of plans, can you walk?” I could not because the weight of his body had crushed me a bit, but I could not say that. So I managed to croak, “Yes” The next second he put me on the ground in the open frontyard and cupped my cheeks. “See the cars there? The first one is mine. Here, take the key and hide inside. Ensure nobody follows you. Can you do that?” Tears were pooling in my eyes as I looked at the destruction everywhere. A few feet away from us, the

nurse lay in a pool of blood. “Hey” He shook me by the shoulders again and I nodded. “Yes.” He took the keys of his car out of his pockets and handed it over to me. “Go now, I will check on the others.” With those words hanging in the air, he slowly disentangled himself from me, his body battered and bruised. His gaze never wavered as he coiled his fists, ready to face the imminent danger. In that moment, he was a warrior, unyielding and courageous. Saying so, he turned around and I sprinted towards the frontyard that led to the car parking. Luckily, no attacker was around so I moved as fast as I could, unlocked the car and hid inside. 16.576 Chapter 10 I let out a wince as I studied my shoulder in the mirror. It was bruised and looked black and blue while my legs felt they were made of iron. But all of that could wait. I crouched down and surveyed the scene from inside. It seemed that a group of rogues had attacked the hospital. The cars were in the open parking lot, a considerable distance from the hospital building, so none of them had been harmed, though a few had their security alarms going on and off every few seconds. In the chaos, the distant howls of the rogue werewolves filled the air, their monstrous presence a stark reminder of the dangers that lurked outside. There was fire and smoke everywhere. Terrified screams and howls of hospital staff and patients echoed through the surroundings. I could see a few wolves running around, their teeth gleaming in the sun as they one by one went after those that were still alive. I put a hand on my mouth as one of them caught a man by his leg and sunk his teeth into his leg, making the man give out at gut wrenching scream, However, the next minute, he was on the man, sinking his ugly canines in his throat as blood spurted out of his flesh, splattering the wolf’s face.

The next second, the man stopped twitching and thrashing valiantly as the wolf lifted him by the neck and flung him over. The man came flying towards me and collided with the window of the car I was hiding in. And that is when I realized who it was. He was the same doctor who had been treating me, the one Callahan had threatened to punish if he could not cure me. I saw his eyes thrown wide open, blood gushing out of the punctures in his neck and his hands that were coated in his own blood. He looked at me and tried to make a sound, but all he managed to get out was a strangled choke. His hands tried to find purchase on the slippery window, to hold on to just about anything, when the car jolted hard. I was thrown to the other side as I heard snarling and growling noises. I tried to close my ears, holding my hands firmly on my ears as the wolf’s maw crunched on the man’s bones while he continued to scream and wail. The wolf bumped against the car once again and the doctor slid down the window, his hands leaving bloody marks over it as he fell to the ground with a sickening thud. I did not hear him move again. I bit hard on my tongue to stop myself from screaming and calming my raging heart. I could still hear the wolf’s angry growls as he teared the doctor’s limbs apart, while more blood sprayed on the car window. My heart felt like it would burst due to fear. I looked at the car key and thought of driving away but I heard more growling. I stayed deathly still, praying to the Goddess that the rogue would not sense my presence. Tears streamed through my eyes as I tried to not move and hold my breath for as long as I could. I had no wolf, so he would tear me apart in seconds if he ever found out I was inside, watching the horrific scene from the window of the car. I held my knees and tried not to make any noise as the wolf sniffed the air and ran into the remains of the hospital, searching for his next prey.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
