The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 260

Lucy's POV:

Noises of smashing seemed to come from next door, growing louder and louder as whatever it was destroyed everything in its path. This wall, thick as it may have been, would just collapse like paper.

I couldn't help but break down, my body trembled all over. I was going to die. I was really about to die. But I couldn't just wait for my death like this.

I tried to move my tongue even as I cried, but nothing worked. I didn't have any strength to exert.

The noises became louder by the second as low and intimidating howls resounded throughout the whole building. The chandelier that was hanging from the ceiling began to shake violently and dust particles fell through the creaks that formed.

I could feel that the voice was close, because my ears were now ringing for it. My mind went blank. Facing death in the face inspired an inexplicable strength in my body. I closed my eyes and tried to summon it. Although my fingers struggled to grasp the sheet, I was able to finally bite the thing in my mouth.

My teeth chomped on the outer wall of the pill and immediately a bitter taste filled my mouth. It only took a few seconds for me to feel the effects of the medicine. My strength began to come back.

I felt that I couldn't wait any more until all of my strength came back. So, I tried to sit up.

Once I got on my feet, I ran to the window, thinking I could jump out. But then I realized I was on the sixth floor. If I jumped down from here, the baby might not be able to survive. But if I didn't jump down, I would surely die. Hesitant, I bit my lip.

All of the sudden, the noises next door stopped. The whole building was in deathly silence again.

I hurried to the door. Just when I was about to open it, my knees buckled. I staggered and fell to the ground. The fear had now caused me to lose all the courage I had left. I didn't want to go out.

I didn't even want to think about what could be waiting for me outside. My mind was in a mess. I loathed myself at this moment for being so helpless. I brought my hand up to my mouth and sobbed again.

This was terrible. Who would come to save me?
