Chapter 177: Clueless
Blake settled Lyra on the bed and covered her with a quilt.
His mate’s suffering and grief were affecting him too. All of her emotions be it happiness or sadness, he could feel through their bond, and this time, it made him sad. The bloodlust that he didn’t feel for so long burned inside his chest. Seeing her unconscious did not help either.
It took all his power to keep his composure. It was already like this for him, so Blake didn’t dare guess how Killian must be feeling. He hated to say this but Killian and Lyra were much emotionally attached due to being each other’s soulmates.
And as though true to his guess, Killian was already losing himself. One of his hands was morphed into his beast form with sharp claws protruding out of his fingers.
"Killian!" Blake warned him in a low tone. He did not want Killian to lose his senses while his mate is not well. No one would be able to stop him if that happen. Another fight would break between them if Blake tried to stop him forcefully.
Killian took a deep breath hearing Blake’s warning, "I-i’m fine" his words were as though he was trying to convince himself but it didn’t seem to work and Blake could see it.
"She is just unconscious" Blake forced out his words because falling unconscious is not something simple and it is already the second time in a row. But reassuring Killian felt more important, so he added, "She will be fine"
Killian nodded absent-mindedly and closed his eyes. When he couldn’t take it anymore, he completely shifted into his beast form and stepped toward his mate. He nuzzled his head against her face and growled pitifully.
They were beasts by nature and their instincts increased when something went wrong with their mates. Their inner self could feel the discomfort that their mate is feeling and that in turn forced them to stay near their mate in thier true forms. This is because they instinctively believed that they could protect their mate best in beast form. The more one is powerful, the more one would feel this urge.
