The Love of a Lycan

Raine showered for almost two hours, brushing every part of her skin. And then she dipped in a bubble bath until the tips of her fingers wrinkled.

"My love… if you still aren't done yet, I will go inside and help you." Torak warned Raine. What was she doing inside?

Raine almost skipped her breakfast because of this.

"No. I am done now!" Raine hurriedly replied as a rustling sound from inside could be heard. She unlocked the door and appeared in her bathrobe.

Since Torak always teased her about coming inside the bathroom while she was bathing, Raine would lock the door if she didn't forget.

"What are you doing?" Torak folded his arms over his chest and saw that Raine's face and her exposed skin was bright red. "Did you skin yourself inside?" Torak grabbed Raine's hand and saw the wrinkled skin at the tip of her fingers.

Raine pouted and pulled back her hand. "You said I was smelly…" She said sullenly.

Torak frowned when he heard Raine's answer, but then he remembered what he had said to her earlier. His expression turned into one of surprise. "That's not what I meant my love… I didn't mean to say that you are smelly…"

"That's what you said." Raine insisted and walked past Torak.

Torak tilted his head upon seeing Raine's reaction and chuckled heartily as he watched Raine choose a perfume from the cabinet.

She had never used any perfume before and Torak liked it that way.

Hence, seeing Raine standing before a row of expensive perfumes with wrinkled eyebrows was a rare sight to see.

Understanding why his mate was in a bad mood, Torak approached her and hugged her from behind, resting his head on her nape, the spot where her sweet scent was stronger. He kissed the fine hair on the back of her neck, making Raine shudder.

"You smell just fine. What I meant was, I don't like the smell of blood on you and, moreover, another man's scent that's latched on you…" Torak explained and turned Raine's body.

"I know…" Raine said in a very faint voice timidly. She lowered her head. "I am being ridiculous, right?"

Torak cupped her small face between his palms and grinned. "It's alright, your period makes you more sensitive."

"Torak!" Raine swatted Torak's hand away from her, but he held her firmly before he pecked her lips and released his little mate who was turning more bright red now. "Put on your dress and let's have breakfast."

"Okay." Apparently her period indeed made her more sensitive than usual.

"You don't have anything to do for today, right? How about accompany me to the office so we can go and have lunch together from there?" Torak suggested. He felt uneasy leaving Raine alone after she traveled back in time again.

"Okay." Raine agreed readily. She liked to wait for Torak while he was working.

Raine walked to her wardrobe room and was about to choose something to wear when she realized that Torak was following right behind her.

"I will change." Raine said while looking at Torak, who was taking a seat near the door of the room.

"I know." Torak nodded innocently.

"What are you doing there?"

"Waiting for you."

Raine was speechless. Torak was getting more and more bold with her. "You can wait outside." She approached him and tried to make him stand up, but it was a difficult task to do.

"I will wait here. Who knows what will happen later?" Torak folded his arms stubbornly. "I just left you for two minutes and when I saw you again, you were covered with blood."

"I will not go anywhere. Moreover, Serefina did not seem to be in a good condition when we returned." Raine remembered what Aeon had said to her about the after effect of sapping a beast's energy.

Torak also knew about that, but since Serefina hid herself from Raine, he wouldn't say anything about it for the meantime.

"I will close my eyes." Torak closed his eyes. He was still very stubborn and insisted on staying.

Raine sighed deeply and yielded. "Don't peek." She warned him.

Though they already slept together for many nights since that time Torak had taken her away from the orphanage, but nothing happened during those entire nights.

Sometimes Raine wondered if she was not attractive enough for him, thus he did not have any desire for her, but then, Torak always said he loved her...

Raine even heard that a man and woman who were in love with each other would not be able to sleep together without something happening, more so for many, many, many nights.

It was either the woman was not attractive enough or the man was bent.

Well, at least that was what she heard when Sally spoke to Lana and Diane.

Raine stole a glance at Torak and shook her head. It was impossible that Torak was bent. And then she looked at herself in the mirror and started to compare herself with Serefina and that only made her frustrated.

"My love, are you done?" Torak asked because he couldn't hear Raine taking anything, since she was just standing absentmindedly in front of the mirror.

"No. Not yet." Raine replied hurriedly and searched at the part of the wardrobe that she had never taken interest before.

It was the part where they put feminine dresses for her that didn't suit her taste at all. After some time spent at rummaging through a lot of dresses, Raine finally chose a white floral dress and put it on.

Afterwards, she looked at herself in the mirror.

It was a high low dress which was longer at back and shorter at the front. While the back of the dress reached the floor, the front of it was hanging one centimeter above her knees.

Raine thought she didn't look bad as she walked towards Torak and sat on his lap.

Torak instinctively held her waist in case she lost her balance and opened his eyes. The first thing that he saw was her slender legs which made Torak frown and then the dress that she had chosen.

"Why? Is it that bad?" Raine was very self-conscious now.

"No, you look perfect in everything you wear, but are you really going to wear this?" Torak asked.He knew this kind of dress wasn't her style, but why would she wear something that she wasn't comfortable with?

"Yes." Raine replied sullenly. "We will have lunch together, right?"

"But I think you need to wear high heels with this kind of dress…" Torak reminded her because Raine usually would wear sandals or sneakers when they went outside. Never heels, except for that mask party.

And after that party, her feet were slightly bruised because of the high heels. At that time she said she didn't like to wear that kind of shoes.

But now… why did she suddenly change her mind?

"I will wear it." Raine said firmly. She wanted to look beautiful and attractive in front of him.

"Alright, get your heels then and we will be ready to go after breakfast." Torak was slightly confused with what was running inside his little mate's mind. Why was she so abrupt today? But in the end, he thought it was because of her period and her mood swings.
