The Love of a Lycan

Seeing the misunderstanding in their eyes, Raine hastily raised both of her hands and waved them frantically to deny their unspoken accusation.

"No, my sister didn't kill them." She would be at a disadvantage if she ever got on their wrong side. "She just tied them up and left them unconscious. It was the wizard hunters who killed them all. They came into our room after my sister left." Raine explained.

Janus and Diana looked at each other and stared at Raine. Then they ordered her to continue talking.

"The wizard hunters bribed the witches to fight my sister in order to distract her so that the wizard hunters could attack my sister's friend, Mr. Alizon. But my sister didn't kill them." Raine emphasized her last words.

Since Raine does not know the situation here and the relationships among the different creatures, she thought it was way better to come clean. At least she would not anger them by lying as she was pretty sure her lies would have many plot holes. 

"Mr. Alizon?" Janus stepped forward and stood beside his Luna. He put his hand on her slender waist possessively, just like the way Torak always acted towards Raine. "The pure blood witch?"

Raine's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's right! He is the pure blood witch." But then her bright eyes dimmed slightly as she wondered if it would be a good thing for her to be associated with the pure blood witch. After all, Fabian was obviously reluctant to come near the land of the Lycans.

The question was, were they in good terms?

The room turned very quiet. It was almost like they were on a graveyard instead of a party celebration.

"No wonder the wizard hunters went crazy." Diana nodded in understanding. "Mr. Alizon is the last pure blood witch and has been missing for years."

Janus stared sharply at Raine and said. "I will ask my warrior to find your sister and her friend. And you are welcome to stay here until we find them."

The Alpha's words were an order and Dmitri nodded at them respectfully.

Janus waved his hand at the musician and the music resumed playing, its melody echoing across the great hall as he turned around and helped his Luna to sit back on her throne.

However, Raine wasn't done yet. There was one more crucial thing that she had to tell the Alpha.

"Come here Raine." Dmitri gestured with his hand for Raine to follow him, but Raine refused.

"No, wait. There is one more thing that I need to tell you!" Without thinking, Raine rushed forward to stop the Alpha and the Luna from leaving.

Raine's careless move agitated the other wolves guarding nearby. They quickly stepped forward to arrest her.

Raine did not expect the guards'reaction. She became terrified when a burly man stopped her and forced her to kneel.Her knees painfully crashed against the marble floor as she was pushed down with both of her hands pinned behind her back.

"No, wait. I don't mean you any harm!" Raine screamed at the pressure that the man was exerting on her hands. It almost felt like her hands were about to break in two. "I have an important thing to tell you! Please listen to me!" Raine shrieked. The pain on her arms was almost unbearable.

Diana looked at Janus before she waved her hand to dismiss the guard holding Raine down. "What do you want to say, little child."

If only they knew this little child was the mate of the Alpha's son, they would not treat her badly.

Raine's breath hitched when she no longer felt the pressure. The only thing left was the throbbing pain on her hands.

Fortunately, Dmitri helped her to stand up. Though he did not know what Raine was about to say, he could sense that it was important.

"Whatever you want to say, you could say it to Dmitri." Diana nodded her head towards Dmitri.

Now the distance between them had been reduced and even with the sound of music, they could talk without being heard by the other guests.

Despite the brief commotion just now, the party still resumed upon the Alpha's order. Now the two rulers were focusing on her.

Raine tried to take another step closer but was held back by Dmitri and the Alpha took precaution by standing in front of his Luna. He glared at Raine, his eyes warning her not to come any closer.

"Talk from where you are." Janus said in a dangerous tone.

Raine bit her lips when she heard that and looked around her anxiously. "There is something I need to tell you about what the wizard hunters were talking about after they killed the witches in our room."

Janus and Diana looked at each other as their eyes became foggy. Raine knew that they were communicating with each other through mind link. She had seen that many times before.

Dmitri grabbed Raine's hand to stop her when she was about to speak before she got permission from the Alpha or the Luna. He shook his head, indicating that it wasn't a wise move to make.

The Alpha could get very angry if he does not want to hear anything from Raine. He could directly order his men to send her to prison. After all he was the sole and absolute ruler here.

He could do whatever he pleased.

"Speak!" Diana said after seemingly winning an argument with Janus.

"Thank you Luna." Raine said gratefully, hoping that her demeanor showed the Luna that she had good intentions. "Actually, there were two wizard hunters who killed the witches in our room and after they killed them, they talked about their next plan."

Raine looked around and as she couldn't find the baby Torak, she became more anxious.

"From my hiding place, I heard them clearly speak about their plan to kill the Alpha's son." Raine blurted out the truth.

Dmitri's grip on Raine's hand tightened as he heard what Raine said.

The Alpha's eyes turned black while the Luna covered her mouth with her palm, clearly shocked at her words.

"IMPUDENT!" The sound of his voice boomed inside the hall and once again an eerie silence fell.
