The Love of a Lycan

"I didn't tell her, I asked her to come with me." Serefina said righteously.

Calleb was utterly speechless when he heard that. He didn't know what to say.

Didn't that also mean he couldn't be blamed too if the Alpha met Raine later? He didn't say anything at all, right?

He just… let this pass…

Because Calleb didn't want to hear Raphael nagging him, he resolved to inform the Beta through a message instead of mind linking him directly.

Raphael must still be with the police right now. It wouldn't be good if suddenly he had a panic attack because of what he was going to say, right?

Calleb knew that Raphael was hell bent at following every order of his Alpha that sometimes, he just followed him blindly.

After Calleb sent Raphael a message, he followed Raine and Serefina out of the room and towards the parking lot.

He was worried both women would start to fight again.

When he was in the lobby, apparently the crowd had dispersed and the burning car had been removed.

The situation had now returned to normal.

============== 

Inside the car, while Raine and Serefina sat at the back seat, Calleb glanced at the elevator door which went straight to Torak's office. They were waiting for Raphael to deal with the police before they could leave forthe Red River City.

The atmosphere was so tense and thick that one could cut it with a knife.

After they had been waiting for thirty minutes, finally three policemen came out from the elevator along with Raphael who followed behind them.

They exchanged a few words before the three policemen, who were there to obtain a chronological account of the actual event, went away and headed towards their patrol car.

Raphael waited for a while before the patrol car went out of his sight, then he strode towards the car where the three of them had been waiting for him.

Calleb had told him about what Serefina did and about Raine's vision of Torak, but Raphael still did not feel right about this.

Thus, he didn't directly get inside the car. Instead, he bent and knocked on Raine's side of the window.

The black glass of the window rolled down and revealed Raine's impatient expression.

"Raine…" Raphael started to say something when Raine cut him off mercilessly.

"Shut up and get in the car." Raine ordered him icily then afterward, she rolled the window up again, not even giving Raphael a chance to say another word.

Serefina glanced at Raine with a slight furrow between her eyebrows.

At this moment, Raphael didn't know how to deal with the current Raine and for some reason, he felt that Raine looked brave, even rude.

Not only that, what was Calleb talking about when he messaged him about a vision that Raine saw?

Besides traveling back to the past, does she have other abilities?

[Why did Serefina suddenly break her promise to the Alpha?] Raphael asked. He would occasionally glance at Raine through the rearview mirror.

"What happened to Mark and the other Lycan who were in the car with me?" Raine asked after a long silence.

Raine remembered how Mark had tried to protect her from the blast of the explosion. She knew that lycans have remarkable healing abilities, but she would also feel so bad if something major happened to him.

"Don't worry, with that wound, he will be fine within two days." Calleb answered. "But he needs to stay in the hospital at least for two weeks, because no human will be able to recuperate so fast with such an injury."

"Mm…" Raine mumbled before she stared at the road through the window.

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

On the private plane.

Raine was exhausted because she didn't have time to rest the whole day, thus as soon as they got on the plane, she fell asleep without her knowing.

Across from Raine, Serefina stared at her with complicated emotion while Raphael, who was sitting next to Raine, saw this and gave the witch a questioning look.

The dark night and the moonlight accompanied the private plane as it flew across the starry sky from Fulbright City to the Red River City.

Calleb sighed in his sleep while resting his head against the partition next to him. This would take around four hours, so he needed to use this time wisely.

Not only Raphael but, recently, Calleb was so busy that he hardly had enough time to rest.

But neither Raine nor Calleb wanted to use the bedroom inside the plane. They chose to stay there along with Serefina and Raphael.

"Have you thought about your decision carefully?" Raphael asked in low voice. He didn't want to wake them up.

"Not really." Serefina shrugged her shoulder. "But that decision was the best way to solve the problem at that time. "

Raphael narrowed his eyes on Serefina. He didn't even believe a word she said.

"What do you think happened to those reporters? It's impossible that they simply turned crazy out of the blue." Raphael tried to figure this thing out, but there were many strange variables for him to form a solid conclusion.

"Dark witch." Serefina answered him. "The devil." She continued. "Both creatures have the ability to possess the darker side of a human heart."

"Dark witch and the Devil…" Raphael mumbled. "Not so long ago, we received news about an affiliation between the witch and the vampire."

"Witch from northern coven?" Serefina asked.

"Yes." Raphael nodded. "Seemingly, the dark creatures had started to make their move. Lately, they are getting bolder."

"They are anxiously waiting for the rise of their glory again, just like in the past." Serefina yawned tiredly. Her head ached because there were so many things to consider. "The resurrection of the guardian angel is a sign that it will soon happen."

"We will have another war in the near future." Raphael concluded. ��Those creatures will target her. And they are already starting to." He looked at Raine's sleeping face with complicated emotions.

"Angels have always been targets even in ancient times." Serefina stared at Raine too. "Now can you see my concern?"
