The Love of a Lycan

Raine was looking out through the window of the car when she saw from afar a familiar building. It was the Donovan building.

"Bring me to the Donovan Company." Raine said to the driver.

"But Miss, I was ordered to bring you back home." The driver refused her in an instant.

Raine frowned when she heard the rejection. "I said I want to go to the Donovan Company."

"But miss… Mr. Lockwood told me to bring you straight back home." The driver informed Raine and intentionally missed the intersection. 

They needed to take quite a distance roundabout to return. The driver knew this but he still deliberately did it.

The driver was a human, who was recruited by Raphael and hired by Torak to protect Raine. Therefore, they would take Torak or Raphael's order, but not hers.

Obviously, he wouldn't listen.

Thus, Raine needed to take an extreme measure for her voice to be heard too.

At this situation, Stephan's words earlier added fuel to the fire. He once questioned Raine as Torak's mate, and this didn't help Raine to calm down at all.

Nobody would listen to her unless she spoke up for herself and took action to emphasize her seriousness regarding this matter.

"Pull over." There was no warmth in the way Raine spoke. She stared icily straight at the driver through the rearview mirror.

"Miss Raine, please don't make things difficult." Though there was the word 'please' in his sentence, she didn't feel like the driver was asking politely. It felt more like he was commanding Raine to stop blabbering nonsense and making his job difficult.

Just now Raine knew that in those guards' eyes, she was nothing more than a girl that was kept by Torak.

She has no chance to call a shot. They didn't even bother to listen to her, as if she was nothing.

Because they mostly stayed out of the house, some of them didn't even know the importance of Raine's existence.

They thought Torak was just like any other businessman who would keep their woman within arms' reach. As long as that woman was fed, she should follow what the man said and didn't have the right to say otherwise.

Such a cheap thought that the driver had. That was why he was daring enough to provoke Raine, but this was a wrong time for him to provoke Raine because she was running out of patience.

"Pull over." Raine said in a stern voice.

This time, the driver didn't even bother to reply as he drove faster towards the direction of the house.

Raine also didn't even bother to talk when she suddenly opened the car door. Of course Raine had calculated her action. She wouldn't be stupid enough to harm herself in the process just to get what she wanted.

The sound of horns and the sound of people screaming could be heard as they passed the street.

"Oh, shit!" The driver forgot his place and cursed loudly after seeing Raine holding the car door open and glaring at him impassively. "What the hell are you doing!?"

"Pull over." Raine stated in a low voice that sounded like a threat.

Without a second thought the driver pulled over. He then turned around and was about to yell at her when Raine stepped down from the car.

"Where are you going?!" The driver shouted at Raine who started to walk away from the car.

He shut the engine of the car down, pulled the key and ran after Raine. He was newly recruited and had just joined Torak's security team for less than a week, thus he was clueless about the situation and too arrogant to assume things on his own.

It added to his experience as a guard of the mistress of one of the businessmen in this city. He treated the woman this way too and his boss would agree with his method.

"Where are you going!? Get back to the car!" He grabbed Raine's elbow and forcefully pulled her back to the car.

"No!" Raine shouted at him as she tried to free her elbow from his tight grip, to no avail.

"Get back to the car!" He yelled at Raine and dragged her despite her struggles to be free from him.

Raine could feel her arms almost splitting in two with this tug of war that she knew she couldn't win.

This scene drew attention from people around the area and when one of them noticed Raine's face, they started to raise their phone to record this event.

It was Torak Donovan's woman after all!

However, before that man could put Raine inside the car again, someone grabbed his shoulder and hauled him away from her, sending him toppling over and crashing onto the concrete pavement before he landed on his back, groaning in pain.

"Are you alright, Luna?"

Someone towered over Raine as his shadow fell on her, blocking the sunlight behind him.

Raine blinked her eyes, trying to see him clearly and once she did, she recognized him almost immediately. "Yes, thank you. I am all right."

It was Mark the bulky Lycan who came to her rescue too when Aeon infiltrated the University the other day and now, here he was with three other people, who Raine assumed were Lycanthropes. All of them were almost as big as him.

Raine tidied her sweater and took her bag from the ground where she had dropped it earlier.

"May I?" Mark stretched out his hand with opened palm, asking to carry Raine's bag.

But Raine shook her head. "It's okay."

"Mark, what the hell are you doing!?" The driver stood up and dusted his pants as he shouted at Mark. He still couldn't read the situation he was in. "She wants to run away! We have to drag her back!"

As a warrior of lycanthropes, he had a short temper and the moment Mark heard that, he roared. "YOU'RE FIRED! DRAG HIM BACK TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON!"
