The Love of a Lycan

"What happened, Raine?" Sunny looked at Raine questioningly. "Why are you sighing since the moment we stepped inside this mall?"

"It must be because of those guards, right?" Kai swept his eyes briefly at the seven people who were following them.

The seven of them were wearing casual attire, so their appearances didn't draw unnecessary attention to them.

"It's okay Raine, it is better to be safe than sorry, moreover they weren't in their formal attire. Now they just look like ordinary people, no one will know that they are bodyguards." Sunny comforted Raine.

However, that wasn't the case, because the most disturbing fact was something that the two of them couldn't see.

If only they could see it, they would have screamed at the top of their lungs.

Now, there were around ten Lycans in their beast form, walking around them while countless Lycans could be seen in every single corner of this store.

Torak must be kidding.

Raine wanted to shout out loud. THIS IS TOO MUCH!

"Raine, it's okay, it is only seven of them…" Sunny comforted Raine again while patting her shoulder. "Just focus on our mission!" She cheered her up.

"Yeah, I will make Mr. Donovan turn crazy the moment he sees you." Kai said determinedly.

Ah, forget it! He is already crazy!

Raine's good mood had already vanished into thin air. She didn't even know what she was supposed to feel right now.

"Come on! Don't spoil the mood!" Kai strolled ahead and casually entered a lingerie store.

If those seven people who followed Raine were shocked, they didn't show it on their faces as they stared ahead with blank faces.

One of them followed Raine inside the store while the rest casually strolled around.

Since Raine didn't wear any expensive clothes and her casual style suited her age as teenager, no one would have thought that she was the very same person who made it to the headlines on the internet a few days ago.

Because the only image of Raine that was circulated in online was taken when she wore an dazzling and beautiful gown at her birthday party, no one would think that this timid girl in sweater and jeans was one and the same.

"Why are you standing there? Come on!" Sunny dragged Raine inside the store because the latter was just standing at the front door, mortified.

"Don't worry, they are well trained bodyguards, they must have experienced this." Kai said beside Raine.

What Kai actually meant was, those bodyguards must have accompanied their lady boss to lingerie stores like this, so there was no need to feel shy.

However, that was not what made Raine stand transfixed in front of the store's door, it was because there were about twenty pairs of beast eyes which were staring at her in disbelief!

How was Raine supposed to ignore that?!

Raine could even see some of them snickering at her! Why should they make that kind of expression?!

"I think… we should just buy some pajamas…" Raine tried to bring the two of them out of the store, but Kai and Sunny ignored her completely as both of them were so busy in picking something weird for Raine.

"What pajamas?" Kai frowned but his eyes were fixed on the lingerie in his hand. Raine felt all her energy leave her body when Kai casually hung the lingerie next to her waist as he mumbled. "This color doesn't complement your skin."

"Can we just go out… now?" Raine could feel her head aching.

"Why should we leave already? We don't get anything yet, we should buy something that could turn Mr. Donovan into a beast the moment he sees you."

HE IS! He is a beast!

Raine screamed inwardly, she could literally hear those Lycans snickering louder now as their tails wagged like happy dogs.

Raine felt the longer they were there, the more she would lose her dignity. As if her pride would be stripped off from her.

"Why don't you try this?" Sunny handed a piece of red lingerie to her. The kind of thing that Raine didn't even understand how to wear.

Once again Raine glanced at the brown Lycan near her, apparently that Lycan looked to the other side when his eyes fell on the glaring red thing in Raine's hand, averting his eyes.

Oh. At least this one has some dignity left.

Raine wanted to cry when Kai gave her another piece, for now there were two sales persons who were assisting Kai and Sunny, without knowing that the person who would wear it was the girl who was timidly following the two of them in silence, focusing her eyes on her white sneakers.

She would have cried if it could reduce her mortification, unfortunately, if she did that it would only add to her misery.

[Can all of you go?] Raine asked in a stern voice through the mind link.

[I am sorry Luna, but we can't leave you alone.] One of the Lycans answered her. Raine thought it must be the brown Lycan, she didn't know but her guts said that, so she looked at the brown Lycan while talking again.

[I am not alone, there are many people here.] She tried to argue.

[This is a direct order from the Alpha and we can't disobey him.] From the sound of his voice, apparently he was quite uncomfortable too, but like he said, he couldn't deny his Alpha's order.

[But, you will not tell this to Torak, right?] This was Raine's concern now.

However to her horror, the Lycan didn't answer her again, it was either he would tell Torak about this or he just couldn't bring himself to let Raine know that it was the part of their duty; to inform every detail of the situation right now to Torak.

Raine really wanted to cry now.

But, it didn't end there, it was like the universe was punishing her, another trouble came in her way when she heard a female voice, talking to Sunny.

"Ah, Ms. Andoori, right? We met at the mask party."

Raine wasn't familiar with her voice, but when their eyes met, she immediately remembered who this woman was.

Even though she was talking to Sunny, but her eyes were directed at Raine as she walked confidently toward her, disregarding Kai in the process.

"Long time no see." She stood there, with a mocking smile on her lips. "I don't know how to address you… or should I just call you Mrs. Donovan?"
