The Love of a Lycan

"Where is she?" Torak asked without turning his seat.He saw Andromalius's figure from the reflection on the glass window.

The fallen angel had no scent to smell, just like Belphegor and Lucifer, thus it was a bit harder to detect their presence. 

"Torak…" Andromalius sighed. "What on earth do you think am I? How can I find the girl within four hours?" he whined.

Andromalius had just been chased away from Lucifer's place and been threatened, only because Torak was looking for him.

Not only that, his façade identity as human for years was also ruined by Torak. 

This time Torak turned his seat, then he gazed at Andromalius who was in front of him with his black eyes.His canines slightly elongated due to the anger that he tried to suppress. 

Seeing the imminent danger that exuded from the Alpha because of his answer didn't meet with his expectation, Andromalius raised both of his hands, gesturing he surrendered and meant no harm.

Seriously, this city was his territory.So how did it turn out to be like this? Both Torak, and Lucifer didn't give him any face!

"Torak, I don't even know who the girl is until now, because you took her away from my territory without permission months ago! And now you ask me to find the girl that I don't even know how she looks like, or her identity is. On top of all that, you asked me to find her within four hours?" Andromalius remarked incredulously. "Enlighten me please." 

Instead of answering his sarcastic plea, Torak stood up and prowled towards the fallen angel. 

"What? I am just telling the truth." Andromalius put down his hand and braced to defend himself if necessary, the moment Torak decided to attack him.

However, he walked past him and only said a curt sentence. "Follow me." With that he opened the door of his office, and walked out of the room without checking whether Andromalius would follow him or not.

Of course, he would follow, what choice did he have now? 

Andromalius was standing between the beast and the Prince of Darkness.Both sides were too difficult to please. 

Reluctantly, Andromalius followed the Alpha.Though he didn't know where they would go, at the very least he wouldn't have an intention to kill him, right?

He left the office as the sunlight filled the room with mellow blues and yellows blurred together in silver mist, rising from the horizon while the sky remained vivid and powerful. 

==============

This was another strange feeling that Raine felt when she moved her body.But this time, she was able to see through the thick darkness as if she had a super vision. 

She was laying on the floor, or at least it was what she thought.Because she didn't know where she was exactly. 

Raine grunted and tried to sit down while assessing her surroundings.However, there was nothing around her, not even a wall. 

The atmosphere was not humid nor cold, but in this spacious space there wasn't a breeze of wind as well. 

This place was too big and quiet.

Was this after life? 

Raine remembered that the white lycan had attacked her, and clawed the side of her head. She also recalled a brief bizarre moment when the time stopped. 

What was that? And where was she now?

Raine raised her hand and touched her head.She thought she would find any sign of dry blood on her hair, but there was nothing there.

Her hair was as smooth as usual.

Raine tried to touch the side of her face, where the lycan attacked her, but there was nothing. There were no wounds there.After that, she brought her hand in front of her face to see it closely, yet there was no blood or dirt on her palm.

Strange…

Only then she felt someone approached her, the feeling of being stared at. 

Raine turned her head to look behind her, only to see the face that she knew.

"Aeon?" Her voice was slightly hoarse because of the nervousness and the doubt within. "Aeon is that you…?" Raine wanted to approach him, but a little bit afraid with the shadow tendrils around him.

"It is me Raine." Aeon moved closer towards her, and the tendrils of shadow around him ceased down.He reached out his hand to help her stand up. "You are safe, we are safe here."

Raine took his hand and used it to balance herself when she stood up.She was a bit tired and her legs were slightly shaking. "Where are we?" Once again, she attempted to find out where they were, but still had no clue.

However, since Aeon was there, she felt a bit relieved that the both of them were safe.

"This is a shadow realm." Aeon explained.

"Shadow realm?" Raine reiterated. What was that again? "You brought us here?" She was at loss with the whole situation.Was this another world again? How could she jump from one dimension to another?

"Not us, it is only you." Aeon said as he led her to walk forward.

Raine abruptly stopped walking. Her sudden stillness made Aeon turn back to look at her. He saw the girl's frown from her brows, as her obsidian eyes were staring at him in confusion.

"I know it is very confusing for you.But you are the one who brought yourself to the moment where the lycanthropes took away all the guardian angels, and slaughtered all shadow warriors." Aeon grabbed Raine's hands, and squeezed them gently. "The thing that you just experienced is an event that happened hundreds of years ago." 

Raine took her hands from Aeon's grasp as she stepped back. "Hundreds of years ago? How could that possibly happen?"

The word 'confused' wouldn't be able to describe what Raine felt right now. 

"I don't know.You are the one who made that happen." Aeon stretched out his arms, and pulled Raine closer to him. "Regardless of how you did that, I am just grateful that you are fine now. I really don't want you to experience that again."

"Again?" Puzzled by his statement, Raine's mind was clouded. She couldn't think straight and wouldn't let Aeon hold her like that. "What do you mean with 'again'?"
