The Love of a Lycan

"So, is this what you got when you were in your recent comatose state?" Calleb rubbed his chin as he contemplated about this matter.

Raine nodded her head vigorously. "Cool, isn't it?"

"Let's go back." Torak stood up as he gazed at Raine. Serefina had told him about this matter beforehand, but they still needed to see how the development of this power would turn out and how Raine would control it.

No matter how powerful one's power might be, but if the owner couldn't adapt to it, it would turn into a boomerang someday.

Calleb raised two thumbs at Raine. "Cool!" He exclaimed and approached Raine. "Hey, can you tell me when I will meet my mate?"

Raine tilted her head as her expression morphed into a frown.

"What? What's with that look of yours?" Calleb couldn't help, but frown as well.

"You don't have one." Raine blurted out, yet before Calleb could ramble on nonstop about it, she added, "Or, maybe I have not seen her yet."

"You almost give me a heart attack." Calleb rubbed his chest dramatically.

"Your heart is too fragile." Raine uttered as she hugged Torak's arm while walking back to their car. "You are overreacting. Even a certain someone here, who had been cursed mate less, had found his mate now, right?" She tiptoed and gave Torak a kiss on his cheek.

Torak kissed the tip of her nose after he helped her to get into their car.

"Raine!" Belinda called her before Torak could close the door. The witch approached her while hugging a bunch of red roses in her arms. "Are you leaving without even saying goodbye to me?" She pouted.

"Ah, I am sorry..." Raine grimaced. It was Calleb's fault, actually aside from seeing the flowers, she was going to say goodbye to Belinda, but Calleb's nonstop rambling made her forgot everything else. "But, you can visit me anytime."

"Oh, I will!" Belinda beamed as she shoved the bunch of flowers in her arms into Raine's. "The flower that we've planted had withered, but I still want to give you this."

The fresh red roses' scent spreading the air quickly, giving out a pleasant feeling.

"Thank you." Raine smiled brightly when she received the flowers.

"We have to go now." Torak gave a small polite nod to Belinda before he got on the car and Raine waved her goodbye.

"Take care all of you." Belinda said. "See you again, Raine."

After exchanging their goodbyes, Calleb drove them to the airport and Belinda stood still until the car was out of her sight.

"The smell is so strong." Calleb noted as he rubbed his nose. It wasn't that he disliked the flowers, it was just that in a narrow space like this, the scent was so noticeable for his sensitive nose.

Calleb glanced at Torak from the rearview mirror, wanting to see what kind of expression was on his face as the latter was often irritated by strong scents like this.

But, for the Gamma's surprise, the Alpha was staring at the Luna with pure adoration in his eyes. No, not adoration, he was worshipping her.

In Torak's eyes, seeing Raine with a bunch of roses in her arms was a sight to behold. Her skin contrasted with the red flowers as her scent lingered over them.

The smell was very sweet, intoxicating even, but at the same time it made Torak smile even more. Raine's eyes were glistened as she stared at the flowers as if she was in trance. Or, maybe she was…

At first, Raine was seeing the red roses in her arms, but then they gradually withered as its red petals turned into grey color.

The process was so slow, it was as if Raine was watching a time lapse video, but then it wasn't the color red turning into grey anymore, all of a sudden her visions witched from a bunch of red flowers to a field filled with withered flowers.

Raine gasped at the scene that unfolded before her eyes. It was very hard for her to believe that something like this was happening.

Yet, Raine knew this was only another phase of her vision, therefore she remained calm, waiting for what would happen next.

As far as Raine's eyes could see, she only saw a withered flower garden. Looking up, Raine saw the sky had turned dark as gloomy clouds rumbled along with thunder.

But then, from afar, Raine could see a girl, at her age, staring back at her and subsequently shifted her gaze to the dark clouds as both of her hands reached to the withered flowers around her.

Her long hair fluttered in the wind as she closed her eyes.

And just like how Raine watched the time lapse of the fresh flowers withering, now she watched the opposite.

Red color crept to the first flower that she touched until it spreadall over the flowers around Raine and then covered the entire field with the same bold color.

It was beautiful to see, yet mind blowing that rendered Raine speechless.

After everything was done, the girl opened her eyes and smiled at Raine. The kind of smile that would make you reciprocate it without even knowing yourself.

"Your smile is beautiful."

Instinctively, Raine turned her head to the source of the voice. Torak's voice.

Raine's eyes met Torak's bedazzling smile. She blinked a couple of times before she realized she was still inside the car and wasn't in the flower field.

Moreover, the mysterious girl was nowhere to be seen.

Raine lowered her gaze and stared at the red roses in her arms, they were as fresh as the moment Belinda had given them to her. Beautiful and captivating.

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

Along the way from oriole city to Fulbright city, Raine chose to close her eyes, pretending she was asleep, but her mind kept recalling the scene she just witnessed.

Was that something that would happen in the future?

But, who is that girl?

She saw her and smiled at her…

The flowers…

Raine resumed her pretense of sleeping until they reached the city and it was already night time when they got to their house.

Torak didn't want to wake Raine up, so he just simply carried her to their bedroom and put her gently on the bed.

"You can stop pretending, my love… now tell me what is bothering you?" Torak caressed Raine's hair.
