Pieces of Rahab's chain necklace fell towards the sea in which I realized that it was a seal that prevented him from transforming to his ultimate form.
As he had already restored the current magic stone into its former glory, the seal was broken, signaling that he had finished his job according to the one who commanded him and sealed his powers.
But the one who must have commanded him did not expect Rahab to betray him.
Heavy rains began to fall, in which I began to feel extremely cold as I don't have any clothing at all.
I felt myself shivering from the cold but I refused to look at Lion and the rest of the pack as I felt ashamed to face them after they saw what Rahab did to me.
If Rahab managed to insert himself to me and the pack saw us, I would have bit my tongue in order to kill myself.
Right now, I'm tempted to bit my tongue but since it is raining hard, I'm praying that I might die out of hypothermia.
I can hear Lion calling me but I continued to bow my head in shame.
I don't deserve Lion.
It's so cold.
Please let me die fast.
Is this what the voice warned me about?
I see.
I should have spent more time with Lion.
I should have took some time to have fun with everyone.
What a lot of wasted time.
....
The pack cannot go near me as Rahab's tail coiled around the gigantic boulder in which I was attached to.
Everytime Rahab roar, flashes of lightning appeared in the sky and simultaneous sounds of thunder sounded around me.
I cannot move my body.
I raised my head towards the sky, praying somehow I might die fast as tears kept flowing from my eyes, mixing with the rain that kept me soaking wet.
How long should I suffer from the cold before I die?
I wish I would die instead of facing everyone.
Please let me die.
....
A deafening roar brought me to my senses as I saw Lion engulfed his entire body with purple flames in which lightning sparks also began to emit from his body.
His eyes turned into a brilliant shade of red as he screamed with rage while flying towards Rahab in increasing speed while holding his katana in an attack stance.
Sly, who is in his dragon form, breathe fire towards Rahab in which Rahab breathe water from his mouth towards Sly.
At the same time, Rahab uses one of its claws to swipe at Ghost, who tried to bludgeon his head in which Orm uses magic to make Ghost float in the air, preventing him from falling towards the sea.
Alpha uses his combative magic to land several piercing attacks towards Rahab's body, making him roar in pain.
Suddenly Lion struck one of Rahab's legs, slicing it from its body in which it burned with intense purple flames, making Rahab roar intensely as he began to thrash around in pain.
Hearing Rahab's roar of pain somehow sent everyone into a killing frenzy as they began to attack Rahab mercilessly, like he was nothing but a piece of meat ready to be consumed.
Sly, with maddening rage, began biting huge chunks of Rahab's flesh like he was starving to death.
Ghost kept hitting Rahab everywhere with his weapon, jumping around Rahab's body as he showed no signs of stopping as pieces of Rahab's flesh began to shower around him, coating his body with blood and gore in which he had a rabid look in his eyes.
Alpha had turned himself to his ultimate form and jumped towards Rahab's tail, biting and clawing everywhere, sending bits and pieces of Rahab's body towards the air with blood spurting everywhere.
Orm somehow looks normal until he sent constant piercing ice shards towards Rahab's neck in which Rahab's neck starts to look mangled.
It was a miracle that Rahab is still alive.
Lion looks like he lost his mind with rage as he kept slicing parts of Rahab's body, in which he smiled with glee seeing Rahab suffering with pain and no signs of dying yet.
It's like watching a Python snake being skinned and sliced alive but with more gore and slow death.
Everytime Rahab groaned with pain, Lion somehow performed some kind of magic that made him stay alive despite his body becoming mangled.
The looks of everyone's eyes are a mixed of being deranged and beastly, losing reason as they became more and more blood thirsty.
They began to find delight in their actions as they started to consume parts of Rahab's body.
No.
Stop please.
It's too much.
Enough.
I set aside my feelings of humiliation as I tried to call out their names in which it only came out as a whisper as I've been soaking under the rain for too long.
Nobody heard me as they are engrossed in consuming bits and pieces of Rahab's flesh.
Nobody.
Except Rahab.
He looked at me with an indescribable emotion in which I began to fell sorry for him.
What the pack did is too much.
We looked at each other in which he slowly raised his head and struck the boulder in which I am currently attached to.
The chains holding my legs and waist broke off and now I'm dangling in the air.
Okay. My mercy towards him has just disappeared.
I felt intense pain in my entire arms as I've been stretched for too long.
My body is shaking uncontrollably and I lost my voice.
Nobody seems to notice my predicament in which Rahab slowly struck the boulder little by little until cracks began to form.
What the?
Am I really going to die here?
I tried calling Lion to no avail as my voice doesn't seem to come out.
Also it doesn't help as the sound of rain is getting intense.
Pieces of the boulder kept falling down as the lunatic kept hitting the base using its head.
Maybe I should try yanking my arms.
No good as I don't have enough strength to pull myself up.
Come on.. I can do it!
I have to save myself!
I gritted my teeth in which I tried to pull myself up in which Rahab struck the boulder with a stronger blow.
Ah!
The chain is starting to come off from the boulder.
Lion help!
I don't care about the humiliation anymore, just don't let me drown!
Curses.
The chain is becoming more unstable as the lunatic kept hitting the boulder with a stronger blow.
I tried to scream despite the pain in my throat in which a hoarse voice starts to come out.
Hallelujah!
Right timing too as Rahab struck an even stronger blow towards the boulder in which a huge crack appeared beside the chain in which the chain finally came off the wall of the boulder.
Uh-oh
Voice don't let me down!
As I fell towards the sea, I called Lion using all the remaining strength in my voice.
With a splash, my body became submerged under the sea.
....
I can't breathe.
I tried holding my breath as I tried to remove the cuff that held my wrists as the chain is heavy, pulling me deep down under the sea.
I saw Lion swimming towards me just as my vision starts to become blur.
He hurriedly carried me in his arms as a magic circle appeared below us in which we suddenly float towards the surface with increasing speed.
Finally, we were floating through the air in which Lion crushed the cuffs holding my wrists, sending the chains into the deep sea.
Lion panted as he began to wept, nuzzling and kissing me all over, telling me that I'm safe now that he's here.
A cloak suddenly materialized beside him in which he hurriedly wrapped my entire body with it as I'm shivering uncontrollably.
I can feel heat from his arms warming me up as I snuggled towards him.
....
Lion's magic ability definitely has improved a lot as he managed to materialize a small cay (tiny island) in which he sat down on the sand while embracing me. He raised his arm towards the sky in which a huge magic circle appeared in the air, stopping the storm in which I'm thankful for as the cold is starting to get unbearable.
He spoke words of comfort towards me, stroking my hair as he told me that he punished Bahar (he didn't know that Rahab is his real name!) for trying to harm me.
He assured me that Bahar won't harm me anymore as he managed to found out the spell that Bahar used to make him and the pack unconscious. He told me that he performed a permanent immunity spell on himself in which Bahar cannot use the unconscious spell on him anymore.
With a smirk, he told me that he's planning to make Bahar suffer before killing him.
The rest of the pack are having the time of their lives torturing Bahar in his ultimate form as Lion hurriedly assured me that they aren't in their bloodthirsty mode after seeing me fall down from the boulder.
He sobbed as he asked for forgiveness for forgetting about me as he was too focused on getting revenge against Bahar.
The list of reasons on getting revenge against Bahar started when he tried to charm me until now when he tried breaking the boulder in which Lion sheepishly told me that it will take a long time for the pack to finish mangling his body as he performed a instant restore spell on Bahar's body and stunning spell in which he can't move.
Bahar will be their practice dummy for now to improve their attacking skills.
Sorry, no mercy from me as he attacked the boulder in which I was attached.
Lion then made a small tent out of magic in which we went inside as he made the inside of the tent warm.
Inside, Lion embraced me as he comforted me, telling me that it is not my fault that Bahar tried to violate me. He is a dangerous and evil being and the fault lies to him alone, not to me as I'm a victim.
Lion told me that as my mate, it is his responsibility to protect me and he failed to do that as Bahar kept assaulting and torturing me, making me suffer. He promised to improve himself in order to protect me better as this mission opened his eyes on knowing that him being one of the best magic user in the territory isn't enough when it comes to facing the wild monsters outside the territory.
Oh how I loved him!
Thank you, Lion.
I mentally kicked myself of my earlier thoughts.
Lion truly is decent.
Feeling a surge of emotion, I pulled him towards me as I kissed him passionately.
He responded by kissing the parts where Bahar bit me, removing the marks as Bahar failed to remove them earlier.
After double checking my body, he lay on top of me in which we kissed each other passionately, as his hands removed the cloak covering me.
We had a slow and passionate intercourse in which we profess love towards each other.
We promised each other that we will be beside each other for all times and that we would never be apart again for eternity.
We spoke too soon.
....
As we are about to leave towards the territory, Lion performed magic that transformed Bahar back to his regular self when suddenly, Bahar had a glint in his eye in which he raised his hand towards me, instantly breaking the magic stone as I immediately felt myself being pulled in the air towards a large portal that started to suck my lower body.
Lion had a panicked look in his eyes as he tried to pull me towards him while I'm beginning to slip from his hold. I began to sob as I tried to grab Lion's hand, in which I saw him and the rest of the pack trying to pull me away from the portal.
I screamed in pain as I felt myself being torn into two.
The pull was too great that I was sucked inside the portal.
The last thing I saw was Lion's devastated look towards me as he screamed my name.
So this is the terrible thing the voice warned me about.
Then it became dark.
