The Love of a Lycan

Torak stared coldly at the pool of dark blood under his feet. The bodies of those vampires were lying lifelessly on the wooden bridge.

The Alpha stared at the Vampire lord in front of him, his expression was devoid of any emotion as if everything that happened around him was something insignificant in his eyes.

"This is how I manage my people." Torak said very slowly to make sure his opponent could comprehend his every single word that he uttered. "So, next time I see any of your wretched kind in my land, consider you will never see them again."

With that one last warning, Torak gestured to his people to leave that dreadful scene, leaving behind those vampires fuming in anger as they watched their own people's dead bodies.

In this world, it was only right to kill those creatures that dared enough to trespass other creatures' territory.

Just because Torak had been missing for more than two weeks, didn't mean they could do anything that they wished in his land. They should know better to not provoke this Alpha.

But, like usual, the cold blooded vampires were too haughty to realize this and took this matter too lightly until they crossed the Alpha's bottom line.

Lycanthropes were very territorial creatures and unreasonably possessive on top of that, so they wouldn't give a second thought to destroy everything that threatened their possession, family and pack.

Torak strode toward the car and opened the front door as he watched in amusement that his mate sat still with her eyes closed.

"Torak, is that you?" Raine asked, still keeping her eyes shut.

Torak leaned over, scooped her in his arms and moved her to the back seat. "It is me." He whispered into her ear as he closed the car door behind him and signaled for Calleb to get them out of there.

"Can I open my eyes now?" Raine asked as she found a comfortable position in Torak's embrace.

"Yes, you can." Torak replied gently.

The first thing that Raine saw when she opened her eyes was Torak's bright smile followed by his giggle.

"You are so obedient." Torak ruffled her hair as he pulled her closer to him. "Do you want to visit the pack house for a while?"

Since they were already here, and the pack house was only one hour away, it's just convenient to do so.

"Yes," Raine said, smiling. "I want to see what happened to the seed that I planted when I came here for the first time."

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

They entered the forest, where rows after rows of pine trees surrounded them completely. The exact scene that Raine remembered from months ago, until now she was still curious on how those Lycanthropes were able to find the right direction.

After one hour of sitting in the car, it didn't feel much long before Raine could see the village at the end of the pine trees.

The familiar road and bakery shop, coffee shops, school and many more greeted them as they drove past them to reach the pack house.

"Do you like coming back here?" Torak smiled when he noticed a big grin plastered on his mate's lips.

Raine nodded. "Yes. Though I don't have much memories of this place, but this is the first place that I had ever considered as a home."

Raine remembered how she felt when she just arrived here. She was in fear and confusion, but this man beside her convinced her again and again that everything would be all right.

Even though there were many things that happened afterward and she was constantly exposed to danger, but this man would always be there and would come to save her no matter what.

"No, actually. Anywhere with you is a home for me." Raine leaned over to give a peck on Torak's lips as she grinned.

"Why do I have the same thought?" Torak reciprocated her grin and kiss.

[Oh, please… can you do that after we reached the pack house? It is just less than three minutes. I can even make it one, if you want.] Calleb complained to Raine through the mind link.

Mind link was one of the privileges of being a Luna and because now Torak had marked Raine, she, as the Luna would be able to enjoy the same.

Upon hearing a sudden voice in her head, Raine was startled for a bit, as she had not yet gotten used to this. She glared at Calleb because he had spoiled the atmosphere.

[Why are you glaring at me?] Calleb met Raine's eyes through the rearview mirror.

From the other side, Torak frowned when he watched Raine was throwing a dagger look at Calleb. His brows furrowed. "What…"

Yet, before Torak could finish his sentence, Raine had turned around and kissed him deeply. She bit his lips clumsily as she shut her mind from any intruding thoughts that didn't belong to her.

Torak didn't know why Raine acted that way, but gladly kissed her back. His mate was becoming bolder day by day and he wouldn't complain about it.

Meanwhile, Calleb could only sigh helplessly. He missed the timid Raine when the first time they came here, she looked cuter that way in his eyes.

"We are here!" Calleb deliberately increased his voice to separate the love birds that started to irritate him.

How could they just kiss each other like he was invisible?

Raine pulled herself away from Torak and eagerly looked at the front door of the pack house. The house looked just like what she remembered it.

It was a mansion with nine floors and as Raine remembered it, their room was on the top floor. She loved it as the whole floor only belonged to Torak.

This time, they didn't take the elevator and went in through the front door where Belinda had been waiting for them.

The moment, Raine came out of the car, she was rewarded with a big hug from her.

"We just saw each other two days ago." Raine hugged her back and giggled.

"I know." Belinda grinned as she released Raine's body. "How long will you be here?"

Raine was about to answer her when a girl ran from inside the house and greeted Torak cheerfully.

"Alpha you have returned!" The girl said excitedly.
