The Love of a Lycan

"What did you get from following the Lycan back to the burning apartment?" Lucifer asked Andromalius.

Both of them were standing on the parapet of one of the highest buildings in the city. Above them, the sky had turned darker, and the light from the moon was covered by the gloomy clouds that hung low, giving the night an eerie vibe.

The wind that was howling, reminded of the danger that lurked from the shadow. 

"That girl is not a mere human." Andromalius answered him absentmindedly, as he caressed the head of his black serpent. 

"She is not." Lucifer admitted. "Tell me exactly what she is?" He wanted to know if Andromalius could figure out what Raine was.

Andromalius tilted his head and scoffed. "You don't even know what she is… I wonder, if Pride had no longer become your sin." He totally got it wrong.

Lucifer smirked, a devious smirk that depicted how cunning his mind appeared, "Do you really consider that Pride is my only sin?" He walked closer towards Andromalius. "I can just rape any woman that I want, but they will always call me 'Pride'."

Andromalius looked at Lucifer in alertness when the distance between them was getting closer. 

"You need to broaden your horizon my fellow devil." Lucifer patted Andromalius' shoulder. "Now, tell me what she is."

Swatted Lucifer's hand from his shoulder, Andromalius took two steps away from him. He didn't like being that close to Lucifer. 

"I don't know exactly what she is, but there were creatures that felt very similar to her. They lived a long, very long time ago." Andromalius murmured when he recalled the old memories. "But… those creatures are already extinct now."

"Creature, huh?" Lucifer looked at Andromalius through his yellow eyes, getting interested. "Continue."

"Guardian angel." Andromalius stated. "The feeling that lingered in me about her, felt almost the same as to them, only…" He hung his sentences.

"Only?" Lucifer raised his eyebrows questioningly, feigning his curiosity. Without a doubt, he knew what Raine was.

"She is from different kind.And also there is this prophecy…" the serpent in Andromalius's arm climbed to his neck, and coiled its scaly body around him. 

"What prophecy?" Lucifer prodded. He leaned his tall body to the wall behind him, while with his devilish eyes, looking at the moon that was covered by the clouds.

Selene, the moon Goddess…

Watch and see what the devil would do this time…

"I heard about this somewhere, a long time ago… from subtle whispers…" Andromalius contemplated. "There will be time when guardian angels will come back to this realm, and darkness will be glorious again."

Andromalius ended his statement with a confused look on his face. He wasn't really sure with that prophecy, it sounded more like a rubbish talk for him.

The war had left so much damage on both sides.Especially the defeated one.Plus, how could a creature that was extinct centuries ago, reappear again?

"Don't tell me that you really think the prophecy is true, and that girl with the Lycan is the real guardian angel." Andromalius eyed Lucifer with apathy.

Received that kind of look, Lucifer chuckled with delight. "I should add something more to your information, my fellow devil." He beamed with a vicious smile on his lips when he said. "The guardian angel is also the Alpha's mate."

There was silence that cascaded down between the two of them after Lucifer said that. But, a brief moment later, Andromalius let out a dry laugh.

"Are you insane? The Donovans have mates?" He laughed at his own questions that sounded so ridiculous to him.But then, he stopped when he realized Lucifer didn't laugh along with him. "Are you serious?"

"Did I laugh with you?" Lucifer raised his eyebrows, and looked at Andromalius as if he was a fool. 

"But, that was impossible…" His words stopped in the middle. Then, he recalled how Torak had treated Raine, and how important this girl was for him.It was almost like he could freeze the hell only to look after her. "Maybe because he knows that the girl is a guardian angel.That's why he became over protective of her…" He opted for another option.

"Don't fool yourself, I don't have time to play dumb with you. You had seen it. You must be very stupid if you couldn't see the differences." Lucifer scoffed upon his denials.

Andromalius hated it when other creatures named him.But this time, it was Lucifer and he couldn't complain about that. "Let's say your theory is right, what would you do?" 

"My theory? This is not theory, Andromalius.This is a fact." Lucifer corrected him. "What would I do? I want you, for the first time, to do something right."

Andromalius frowned, the way Lucifer said it just didn't feel this would be anything but right. 

"Tell the truth, spread the fact." Lucifer's voice was so light like a feather, almost sounded like he was talking about salvation. "Every creature should know the fact that Torak Donavan is having a mate now. It would be fun to watch how happy those wretched creatures would be about this news."

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

In another part of the city where a huge grey house was located, atop of the hill where the most elites resided in the Fulbright City.The security around the house was unexceptionally tight.

Because Raine's condition required her to not be surrounded by a lot of Lycanthropes, Torak hired many elite guards to be put around the house.Although they were well-trained agents, they wouldn't stand longer than a minute the moment they were faced with supernatural creatures.

But, knowing the consequences of the side effects of killing humans, would at least make them hold themselves back a little bit. 

Not only that, Torak had thrown a large sum of money to purchase the fancy houses around his house to be occupied by his warriors.Just in case something happened, they would be around to back up, but weren't close enough to affect Raine's health.

The incredible truth about it was that one house in this area would cost a good fortune.Not to mention, Torak bought more than a dozen of them.

All the things that he did was to ensure the safety of his mate. 

Yet, two days had passed then. And Raine had still not yet woken up.This turned Torak even gloomier, and hard to be approached.
