The Love of a Lycan

Raine flinched when she heard that, but she didn't sympathizewith the man because of how he had treated her and yelled at her.

That man roared, shouted and cursed at Mark, and as he did so, many more people crowded the area, taking a few pictures and videos of the scene.

"Over here, Luna." Mark tried to cover Raine's face as he brought her to the other car, leaving the chaotic situation that was almost out of hand because of the spectators.

This accident would circulate online for sure.

Mark and the other Lycan took Raine to their car while the other two Lycans brought the driver with them to his former car.

"Where were you going to, Luna?" Mark asked Raine as the car drove away from the crowd.

"Can you take me to Donovan's building please?" Raine asked as she rubbed her aching elbow. "Is Raphael there?"

"Yes, the Beta supreme is in the office right now, but the Alpha is not there." Mark informed Raine.

"When was the last time you saw Torak?" Raine couldn't hold back her curiosity. She really needed to know Torak's whereabouts and what happened to him. Why didn't he want to see her?

"I saw the Alpha a week ago, the day when you were taken by the devil. He left with the Beta supreme, Raphael, and after that I had never seen him again." Mark answered truthfully.

This answer was the same asthe rest of the lycans had given Raine when she asked about Torak.

Raine bit her lips.

The only person who was last seen with him was Raphael and he had been avoiding Raine this whole week, leaving Calleb at home to deal with her endless questions about Torak. But it was useless because he didn't even want to talk about it and chose instead to bury his nose on the stack of documents, dealing with paperwork that he never even liked.

"Can you go faster?" Raine leaned her head that was throbbing painfully at the backrest of the car seat and closed her eyes, feeling her heart thumping fast.

She wanted to see Torak so badly, but no one would let her meet him…

What happened to them?

# # # 

Because they took a detour to Donovan's building and due to the very bad traffic jam, Raine arrived at Donovan's building after two long hours.

Raine was so antsy while waiting for the car to move. She would have run if it wasn't for Mark who stopped her.

There would be more danger if she did that and Torak wouldn't like it.

It was indeed possible because, while they were inside the car lining up to get away from this crazy traffic jam, the video of Raine being dragged away by her guard went viral and once again people online were messing around with their speculation.

Some people said she was running away from Torak's tyranny, some people said the relationship between Torak and Raine wasn't real and Torak was gay while others had their own wild speculations.

Raine was clueless about the kind of chaos that she had created because of her impulsiveness to get out of the car.

Yet, if she had not done so, the driver wouldn't have listened to her and went on to take her back home.

Like usual, Raine would enter Torak's office through the private lift. However, this time, the access to the underground parking lot was blocked by many reporters and cameramen.

"What is that?" Mark frowned at the bunch of media that swarmed the entrance of the building. They had been waiting there for a while and more would likely come.

The other Lycan, who was driving, stopped the car a hundred meters away from the media people and looked at Mark.

Mark was confused so he made a phone call. "What happened at the Alpha's building?" He asked the other lycan who was assigned at Torak's office. There was a moment of pause before Mark exclaimed loudly. "What? But it just happened a few hours ago! How did the news explode that fast!?"

Raine could see Mark's stiff back as he growled and cursed on the phone.

"Luna, I don't think we can go there now, we need to go back." Mark turned around to inform Raine.

"What happened?" Raine stared at the bunch of people ahead of them. They didn't seem friendly, as if once Raine went out of the car, they would chew her alive.

"The news of you on the street earlier has gone viral and they are here for you." Mark glared at the people in front of him. If only he was allowed, he would take the pleasure of clawing their faces one by one.

"But it just happened two hours ago, how can it be this big already?" Raine also couldn't believe it.

Something was wrong with this whole situation.

"I also don't know Luna, but apparently you have been followed from the moment you went out of your school." Mark regrettably told Raine.

But if Raine was being followed, why didn't he notice it at all? And how did these people move so fast and knew where Raine would go?

That didn't make any sense at all, except if there was someone pulling the strings behind all of this.

"I think we can't go back either…" The Lycan behind the steering wheel stared behind them through the rearview mirror and watched in anger when some reporter recognized the car as the same car that had taken Raine away from the scene this afternoon and started to approach them.

In a matter of seconds, they swarmed around the car, banging the window as they tried to make the people inside the car get out.

"What the hell happened to them?!" Marked cursed again when one of the reporter started hitting the window with his camera. "Are they possessed or something!?"

Yes, they didn't even look like normal people.

As aggressive as the media people could be, they wouldn't resort to violence, especially when they knew how ruthless Torak Donavan could be.

But what happened to them?
