The Love of a Lycan

Sitting on the floor with her back against the wall while hiding beside the large cabinet was Serefina, with her pale face and sweat-covered forehead.

At first Torak did not recognize her smell because all his focus was on Raine and her condition. However, in the middle of the conversation when Torak knew Raine was alright, he started to realize there was another scent inside the room.

Though it was only a faint smell of the witch since she was engulfed with the same scent of soil and dirt like Raine, but when his mate said she traveled back to the past with Serefina, Torak realized Serefina was still inside the room.

Torak stared down at the witch. He did not know what had happened to her, but she looked to be in her worse shape.

"What happened to you? Should I prepare for the funeral now?" Torak asked sarcastically because Serefina's condition was indeed like someone who was in her last breath.

"Don't fight me for now… I need to take a rest…��� She breathed heavily. Not only could she not lift a finger, she could not even open her eyes.

[Cal, come to the dining room.] Torak mind linked the beta as he kept his eyes on the witch.

At first, Torak really wanted to give the witch one or two lessons the moment he saw her, however, in her current condition, not to mention a lesson, she wouldn't even be able to reply to Torak's questions.

[Yes, Alpha.] Calleb replied.

After that, Torak squatted down and checked on the witch. He placed his palm on the witch's forehead before he said, "You sapped a beast's energy." It was a statement.

Sapping a beast's energy could make one gain a powerful strength for a short period of time, but afterwards, it would backfire because one's condition would become worse than one's previous state.

Torak did not know why Serefina would do that knowing the consequences would be dire, but it seemed the situation was quite not in her favor.

Meanwhile, Serefina did not reply to that statement and kept breathing unevenly.

Torak did not let Raine know that Serefina was still here because had Serefina wanted to, she could have appeared in front of her instead of hiding in this spot, and at this sorry state.

Moreover, there were a lot of things that Torak wanted to say to the witch, but that seemingly needed to wait for some time until Serefina's condition was stable.

Not long after that, Calleb came inside the room with his happy-go-lucky face.

"Calleb is here!" He said cheerfully, but his smile lasted until he smelled the blood and dirt in the air. "What is this smell?" He scrunched his nose.

Ignoring Calleb's reaction, Torak waved his hand. "Come here."

Calleb walked over towards Torak curiously and as soon as he saw Serefina there, out of shape, his eyes opened wide in shock.

"What happened to her? Has karma finally caught up with her?" Calleb made a snarky remark, yet Serefina was too weak to even glare to him.

"Bring her to one of the houses and ask our Doctor to look after her." Torak then stood up after he gave his order. "Inform me if you need something." He added before he disappeared behind the door.

Calleb scratched the back of his head, wondering what happened to this witch. Did she engage in a fight?

But knowing her personality, it made a lot of sense.

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

"Should I congratulate you for being able to come close to your girl again?" Lucifer asked as he stepped inside the room and scanned the area.

"What are you doing here?" Aeon didn't even raise his eyes from the silver dagger in his hand when he answered the devil. "I said don't come abruptly."

Aeon was living on the roof of a building, under the veil of the night. This small place had been turned into an armory by Aeon as he liked to do this kind of things.

"My bad." Lucifer held his hands up and sat on the nearest chair, not even bothering with the unwelcome gesture from the shadow warrior. "May I know how your progress is with her?"

Aeon glanced at him coldly. "She still believes that wretched Lycan is her mate." He said flatly, but the way Aeon was trying to test the sharpness of the dagger in his hand showed how annoyed he was with that fact.

Lucifer chuckled upon hearing that. "Like I told you before, you should just take her away and immediately make her yours."

"I will never do something like that. She will come to me of her own accord." Aeon said rightfully.

"This topic is really out of my league." Lucifer threw his hands upwards in surrender. He didn't understand why Aeon had to do something so stupid like waiting for a girl to come running to him when he could just kidnap her and keep her in his store.

Aeon glanced at the devil, his look filled with resentment upon hearing his comment.

"But I have to give you two thumbs up for your idea with the horn of the unicorn." Lucifer grinned devilishly. "How do you know the witch would look for that item?"

"I have been living over centuries, so you should expect me to know one or two things about this world." Aeon threw a can of beer towards the devil which he caught in time.

"I guess so." Lucifer scoffed when he saw the beer in his hand. This wasn't the type of drink he would drink.

Aeon knew most items that witches would look for and how those witches would get it. Thus, when he caught wind that there was a witch looking for a horn of unicorn, he thought that it must be Serefina.

When Raine entered university, she would be exposed to the public. Then it also meant that she needed a lot of protection.

Aeon had investigated this matter carefully and when he was sure the buyer was Serefina, all he had to do was to make sure the witch got the item that she wanted.

Hence, that was how he reconnected with Raine again and was able to follow her to the past as well.
