The Love of a Lycan

Because of Raine's constant complaining about Torak invading her privacy ad the fact that she couldn't stop blushing every now and then, she kept demanding that Torak should teach her how to mask her own thoughts.

Despite being a little bit reluctant to teach Raine those things as Torak was still enjoying to hear his mate's thoughts about him, he still taught her.

It was a good thing for him too, because Torak didn't want anyone in his pack to be able to read Raine's mind since they would head toward the oriole city as per schedule.

Dozens of Lycanthropes under him were waiting for them there.

Along the way, Raine was so engrossed in remembering every detail that Torak had told her to hide her mind.

"Don't stress yourself, it will come naturally, no need to force it. You will get used to it." Torak smoothened Raine's wrinkled eyebrows with his thumb. Torak was worried that Raine would exert herself, her body was still recovering from the last event.

"No, I am fine." Raine's small face frowned as she tried to keep her mind focused. "Can you hear my thoughts now?" She lifted her head as she asked Torak beside her eagerly.

Both of them were sitting at the back seat of a white expensive car and had Calleb driving it, while Belinda and Sapphire boarded another car, both of them would go straight to the raven village.

As for Serefina, no one had seen her since that morning, so they assumed she had disappeared again. At this point it had become a normal thing to see Serefina come and go as she wished, so it didn't bother them much anymore.

"Almost." Torak smiled as he fixed the shawl around Raine's neck, the bruises still left some red and bluish traces on her wound, but it had started to form into his mark.

Actually Raine objected to hide it as she thought it was so cool to have a tattoo.

A tattoo, the sacred mark of the Lycanthropes was treated as a tattoo by her, it didn't mean that Torak mind it, though. In reality, he thought it was cute of her to think that way.

Everything about his mate was cute.

However, because of the weather which had been slightly cold recently, Torak didn't want Raine to get sick just because she wanted to show off her 'tattoo', especially in her current condition.

It took half a day before they entered Oriole city and the moment they arrived at the hotel, which Calleb had booked for them, the sky had turned dark and Raine was asleep.

Torak carried Raine in his arms as they walked into the Lobby, this hotel originally belonged to the dragon shifter, Reynold Magnus, Stephan's older brother.

But because of the agreement between them, this hotel belonged to Torak now, in spite of the fact that the owner of this hotel had been changed, Reynold still managed this place.

Ever since the ownership of this hotel was changed, Torak had never once showed up here, thus with him being here tonight, that too at a short notice, shocked the upper management as they came to greet him at the lobby.

There were ten people as the representatives of several departments in the hotel, who were waiting for Torak in the lobby and a few senior staff to serve Torak's small group.

However, all of their jaws dropped when Torak entered the lobby with a sleeping Raine in his arms.

Not only that, he gave them a vicious glare the moment they wanted to approach and greet him. The message was clear; he didn't want them to make any noisy sounds and woke up the little girl in his arms.

Of course, one intense look from Torak had managed to make them stop in their tracks from getting closer to him.

They had heard about Torak's woman, she was actually a little girl who just enrolled at a university in Fulbright city.

They also caught wind of the rumor about how this cold- blood CEO from Donovan Company, pampered this little girl so much.

Though they couldn't see the face of the girl in Torak's arms clearly, because half of her face was buried in the nook of Torak's shoulder and her hair scattered around her face, they were sure, she was a beautiful girl. Moreover, the eighteenth birthday party of this girl was aired in the television and shocked many people.

Because the girl was so young, they didn't think that Torak Donovan would have a stable relationship with this one as an old rumor said that he was previously in relationship with Jenedieth, one of his trusted people.

At first they were unsure until what extent Torak would spoil his woman, yet after seeing this, they were convinced to not look down but treat their future lady boss with utmost care.

In the end, the grand welcome that those people had prepared for their new CEO in a short time was poured down the drain as they weren't even allowed to voice out a single word to address him.

Torak walked straight into the elevator that had been prepared for them and went straight to their room on the eighth floor while they could only stare at his back.

Calleb opened the door for Torak and let the latter step inside the extravagant room that was only one of the privileges for the owner of this hotel to enjoy.

This place screamed elegance and money, from the white carpet to the crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The whole room was simply dazzling. And at one side, instead of a wall, was a floor to roof French style clear glass window, with a view of the backyard of the hotel which was composed of lush full trees and flower garden in various colors.

Torak walked into the master bedroom and placed Raine carefully on the magnificent bed, covered in white sheets.

Apparently, Raine's physical strength had not yet returned fully, she felt exhausted easily and wasn't awake even after Torak put her down.

Leaning over, Torak kissed her forehead and tucked her inside the blanket, afterward, he walked toward the door and opened it.

Torak didn't step out of the room, instead, he just preferred to have a conversation with Calleb in the doorway, so he could still see his mate from his spot.

"It had been finalized. We will meet Dmitri at the agreement point." Calleb informed Torak and sneaked a peek at Raine. "Will you bring her along?"
