Crossing the Border (Rania) novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122

Rania got all the medical treatment that she needed in the hospital. She was in a critical condition and even though Dorry’s effort help, but it was far from being enough.

Killian managed to escape, but his warriors had been killed on the spot. Right now, there was a massive party that hunted him down.

However, all of that didn’t concern Maximus, he stayed with his mate. He didn’t even sleep. Karin had tried to tell him that it wouldn’t be good for him, but the king didn’t listen, and the healer was too scared to persuade him more than this.

Rania had bitten her tongue, and the wound was quite deep, therefore she couldn’t speak for a while, which only made Maximus even more depressed.

Even without the wound, Rania didn’t want to speak. He wondered, how long it would take for him to listen to his voice again. Would it take forever?

Maximus closed his eyes, and then stared at the night sky that had turned slightly bright. The sun was up. It was a new day, which meant, Rania had been unconscious for three days straight.

“Wake up, please.”

Maximus had never begged someone this much in his entire life. When his father tormented him, he begged him to stop once, and when he learned it wouldn’t help with his situation, and only made his father become even crueler, he stopped begging him.

But with Rania, he had begged her a few times. He couldn’t help it. He even started praying again, whatever that could bring Rania back to him. He wanted his mate and that was all that important for him at this

moment.

Karin needed to come back and forth from the hospital to the beach house, because she needed to take care of Declan too.

Some time, she would have a slip tongue and call him with his title, and this made Declan looked so angry. But, when Karin apologized, he dismissed her.

Declan didn’t say anything much. Most of the time he would be very quiet, as if he was not even alive. He sat in one place for a long time, didn’t move, like a statue.

“You need to eat something, or else it will be a long time before you can heal.” Karin put down a tray of food on the table.

She pitied the beta, but after what she learned from the warriors the reason why the king punished him and demoted him, she felt angry.

How could someone be very cruel to separate a mate? Especially this was the king’s mate.

“You said my legs are waste, what the worse thing can happen?” Declan was still staring outside. The sky had

turned gloomy, and it seemed there would be storm tonight.

“I am sorry.” Karin apologized, she glanced at his bandaged legs. “But, your legs can be even worse. You can get an amputation if they don’t heal properly.”

“And you, as a shifter, you don’t even know how important a mate bond is. How could you do that thing to the king? You separate the destined mate, and then for what? You only cause more harm than good.” Karin was upset, she knew that she was too harsh with Declan, but at this point, she couldn’t care less about that.

He wanted this man to stop thinking only about himself.

“You are too dense to think that getting rid of someone else’s mate will be a solution for a problem, if anything, it will only make things worse.” Karin furrowed her brows. “I am not a shifter, but even I know how important the mate bond for shifter. Why don’t you think that way?”

“Because that woman will bring no good for this kingdom, and as the king, Maximus should put the kingdom first before anything else.”

“The only thing that you can think of is the kingdom, which is admirable in a way, but have you ever thought that lady Rania might bring the best side of the king?”

“How?” Declan narrowed his eyes. “She doesn’t even have her wolf spirit. She is very weak, and all of this problem came from her pack. She is a bad luck. Even if she gave birth to the baby, the baby will be very weak

to have a mother like her.”

Now Karin understood why the king asked him not to say anything about Rania’s condition, where it would be hard for her to conceive for the second time, and how it would put her life in danger.
