Crossing the Border (Rania) novel Chapter 102

“She tried to kill herself,” Eiten said. He remembered Rania had ever done the same thing before. He was too panic, and shock to remember this detail.

However, if it was Lula instead of Karin, she would be able to tell immediately that Rania had made another attempt to herself.

“Don’t leave her alone again, even if you have to go somewhere, ask someone to stay here with her, do you understand?”

Karin was surprised to hear that, but she nodded anyway. “Yes. I am sorry. I didn’t know…” She didn’t know that Rania had the tendency to do that.

“It’s okay, just keep your eyes on her.” Eiten shook his head. He wouldn’t blame Karin for her ignorance. The healer had gone through a lot as well, and she was still adjusting herself to this role. “Be more careful this

time.”

“Yes. Yes.”

However, another problem came when Eiten thought he needed to focus on Rania first, while he was thinking what he had to do with Maximus.

It was very clear that being away from his mate had worsened his emotions. If Declan was not by his side to remind him, he might as well had butchered any living being that he saw.

It was already a good thing that the king still listened to his royal beta’s council.

“Royal gamma Eiten! This is bad news! Bad news!” The warrior came to approach Eiten, he barged in without even knocking first, which made him glare at him.

“What now?” He didn’t want to hear bad news, but it would get worse, if he didn’t solve it.

“The king!”

When Eiten arrived at the forest, Declan was already there. He didn’t look happy at all. He was talking with one of the senior warriors.

And as Eiten ran closer, he could hear what Declan was asking of the senior warriors.

“…we can’t send all the warriors inside, royal beta Declan. We don’t know the forest well. No one ever entered this place before. Only the king understands the terrain.”

“So, how will you find the king?!” Declan was livid.

Eiten understood Declan’s frustration and his eagerness to find Maximus as soon as possible, but he also sympathized with the senior warriors.

They had lost so many warriors because of the last attack, and there were a good amount of warriors, who had deflected, therefore they couldn’t take the risk to lose more warriors.

“Those wild wolves only listen to the king, there is no guarantee they will not attack us when we enter their territory.”

All of them knew how territorial the wolf was, as they were part of them, in a sense. Therefore, they couldn’t risk their life walking into death.

Maximus finally shifted back into his human form, but the pain didn’t cease away, though it was more bearable than the first time it hit him, but it didn’t make his condition better.

Chapter 102

There was something happened to Rania, because the mate bond between them stretched out, it was almost snapped.

Maximus tried to run away from the pain, even though his beast told him to go back to his mate.

However, he didn’t want to. He knew the moment he saw her, he was going to break down. He was guilty of the death of their child, and he was aware that Rania was not in a good condition.

Therefore, seeing him wouldn’t help either.

Yet, he craved her. He wanted her more than anything.

She could poison her or kill him right away if it could case her pain, he didn’t care anymore, but the thing was; his presence would only bring more pain to her.

His mate was in so much pain, and Maximus could feel that through their bond, but he couldn’t approach her.

He didn’t bring consolation, but misery to her instead.
