A few minutes prior to Makena and Amber's escape, the sucking of Bastian's blood was finally complete. And by then, Bastian had completely gone unconscious. To ensure that he was still alive, Krys had checked Bastian's pulse and found that he was still alive. What a pity.
He grabbed the glass flask that was filled with Bastian's blood and transferred it in a more secure test tube. Then he placed the test tube in a fridge, near the huge apparatus. After he was done, he returned to where Bastian was still lying down and began to tighten the binds that secure him.
Since he was a warlock, not a shifter, he could not tell what was going on outside or even inside as he continued to do whatever Rehan had tasked him to do.
Just then, he heard a beeping sound from his pocket. He reached inside his pocket and took out the metal rod that he had taken earlier. After Rehan had ordered the man to release the mutated rogues, Rehan had covertly told him to follow.
Without the man noticing that Krys had followed him, the man had gone on to release the mutated rogues, not knowing that would be the last task Rehan would give him.
Krys had waited for the mutated rogues to leave the place before going to where the man's corpse laid.
He shook his head ruefully with his hands on his h.i.p.s, looking down at the grotesque body. The man's body was torn apart, without anything attached in one. He kicked some bloody parts of the man and finally saw what he had been looking for.
He cringed in disgust when he saw it was covered with blood and other body fluids.
He conjured up a simple water spell and splashed the metal rod, cleansing it. Once it was 'cleaned' off, he conjured up another spell, this time, wind spell. He casted the spell on the rod, drying it.
After he was sure that the metal rod was 'cleaned', Krys picked it up and returned back to the mansion.
And at that moment, the same metal rod was beeping. From what he remembered of what Rehan told him about the rod, it was used to 'discipline' a shifter that they had caged in here and that the beeping sound was usually due to the shifter probably walking out of their cage.
After doing a final check on Bastian, making sure that he was still unconscious, he left the room and went to look for the other 'misbehaving' shifter.
-----
Makena and Amber had just left the room. And at first, the two young women had no clue on what to do next.
Seeing the blank look on Amber's face, Makena rubbed her forehead in consternation. 'Of course, she wouldn't know where to go,' she thought grimly.
Then she remembered the open space that she always had her run. She turned to Amber, who was waiting for her idea, and said, "Follow me!"
Amber nodded.
Makena guided Amber to where the man used to bring her for her run. The place wasn't that far from where they currently were. They were quiet as they walked.
When they reached the familiar door, Makena went up and pushed it. A small breeze greeted her once she opened the door. It felt good as it has been a while since she last went on a run.
But just as she had stepped outside, her nerves began to tingle. She could feel her heart beating so fast that she gasped for hair. She did not know what was happening. She suddenly dropped down on her knees.
Amber's eyes widened in shock. Makena still looked fine when she walked out the door. Why did she suddenly fall on her knees? She quickly rushed to Makena's side. "What happened?"
Makena did not answer her as she looked out to where the forest was.
Amber was startled. Makena looked so different at that moment. Amber could see fangs starting to lengthen and her eyes had turned deep amber.
She became more startled when she heard Makena's raspy yet soft voice saying, "Mate…"
Amber frowned as she too looked out at the forest where Makena was still staring at. 'Mate?' she thought. She remembered having this kind of feeling as well.
Before she could react, Makena had disappeared from her side and was rushing towards the forest.
Amber quickly followed, not wanting to be left behind. But it was hard chasing a shifter with that kind of speed. By the time she was near Makena, she was breathing heavily as she bent down, trying to catch her breath. Her hands were on her knees.
She panted. "Makena?"
Makena just stood there, her eyes narrowed. She then pulled back her fist and punched something in front of her.
At first, Amber thought she was just punching air since there was nothing there. She was surprised when Makena's fist hit something, sending huge vibrations around them. Amber nearly fell down, due to the strong tremors.
Her eyes widened when she realized that there was a huge invisible barrier in front of them. It was the same when she and the others were trapped near the BBQ restaurant before. She took a step forward and knocked on the barrier. There really was a barrier!
Soon after, Makena started to punch the barrier in front of her, non-stop. Tremors reverberated throughout the area, nearly sending Amber flying.
Makena ignored the trembling as she continued to hit the barrier, until her fists bleed.
"Makena, stop!" Amber shouted, grabbing her arm to make her stop punching. Seeing her fists become bloody, Amber felt concern and worried for her. She did not know why and how the latter became like this but Amber knew that she needed to stop Makena from hurting herself.
But it was as if she did not hear Amber as she shook away Amber's hold and continued to pound against the barrier. Her fists became bloodier as she punched the barrier, blood dripping down to the ground.
Just then, there was a buzzing sound and suddenly, Makena was jolted in place. She quickly grabbed the collar on her neck, trying to remove it. But she couldn't. She felt her limbs and body starting to become numb as the shock went all over her. White foams started to froth in her mouth as her body weakened.
And before she fell to the ground, Amber had quickly rushed to her, holding her up in her arms. Amber began to panic, not knowing what was happening.
She then saw the collar on Makena's neck, with a red light blinking. She did not dare touch it lest she might get electrocuted.
Moments later, she could hear a light chuckle coming from behind her. Amber turned her head and was shocked to see Krys walking towards them.
He was wearing a thin black robe with black pants. His hair fluttered with the wind as he approached them, a small smirk on his face. He was tapping a metal rod on his hand.
"Well, well," he said, still chuckling. "Is this the shifter that they kept here?"
He stood in front of the two young women. He then bent down and used the end of the metal rod to lift Makena's chin up. He looked at her, ignoring the wrath in her eyes.
He then looked down at her fists, which already healed. He c.o.c.ked an eyebrow in surprise. "So, this is the so-called fast healing of a lycan," he surmised.
Amber too looked down at Makena's hands and was shocked to find that it was no longer bleeding. There wasn't even a scar or scratch on her hands.
Krys walked up to where the barrier was and knocked on it. His eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Wow," he said in awe. "I did not expect this to be a strong one. It's even stronger than the one that I've made back then. Lord Rehan is indeed a powerful warlock."
He turned his head at the two young women; one was glaring at him while the other was looking at him fearfully.
"Let's go back inside, alright?"
