The Love of a Lycan

After saying that, Lyrus took a closer look at Raine and frowned. He was still hesitant to voice out his own thoughts, thus he asked Torak instead. "Why are you asking about that Alpha? That happened very long time ago and my mind couldn't recall all the details."

"So, tell me why I didn't receive any information about that?" Torak stared at the old Lycan.

"That's because…" Lyrus swallowed hard.

That happened centuries ago and he wondered why Torak asked about such a thing, that too at a time like this.

Lyrus glanced at Raine in Torak's embrace, yet no matter how hard he tried, Lyrus couldn't recall the girl's face from the day when they conveyed their warning to the shadow warriors, he just saw her face for a few minutes after all, so how could he remember some insignificant thing like that?

"Your answer." Torak demanded rigidly.

"That was because of your brother, Alpha. Alpha Jedrek told me to do that." Lyrus blurted out.

"What?" Torak narrowed his eyes. He really had never heard about someone mentioning anything about his mate during that day when they destroyed the village of angels and killed all the shadow warriors.

Lyrus began to recall some distant memories that he had almost forgotten.

"Actually, it wasn't me who was told to kill the girl who claimed as your mate, it was my subordinate. He went to inform you about it, but he met Alpha Jedrek on the way. The Alpha asked why he was there instead of completing the ordered task in the village of angels, thus that werewolf told him everything."

Lyrus's eyes once again fell on Raine's face, but no matter how hard he tried and looked for the similarity, he just couldn't remember the girl's face as he also didn't pay much attention to her then.

"And then Alpha Jedrek told that man to just kill the girl." Lyrus ended his short story.

"But, you said it was Torak who gave the order." Raine chimed in, she clearly remembered that they told the shadow warrior that it was Torak who had issued the order.

Lyrus's eyes lingered a little bit longer on Raine's face before he answered her. "It was because that man had told me this after the warning. He told me that he didn't meet Alpha Torak, instead he met Alpha Jedrek."

"Why haven't you tell me afterward then?" Torak asked. Lyrus should have told him about that.

"I am sorry Alpha, but I thought that wasn't necessary, moreover it was Alpha Jedrek's direct order…" Lyrus looked puzzled.

"You thought it wasn't necessary because of the curse?" Torak blurted out the reason.

And somehow Lyrus had the audacity to nod his head. "Yes, Alpha… I thought because you were cursed, so the girl at that time was only trying to distract us. Thus…"

"Go back to your post." Torak cut Lyrus last words as he spoke rigidly.

Lyrus looked at Torak in puzzle, but he did what the Alpha said. He bowed his head slightly before Torak and went away.

"Let's go." Torak nudged Raine to get in the car. He carefully strapped her seatbelt before walking around and sat behind the wheel. "Don't go near him in the future."

"I will not." Raine said immediately. Even without receiving Torak's warning, Raine was very much reluctant to be near that man as he gave a weird vibe. Raine simply didn't trust him. "But, why did you stop him? Do you think he was lying?"

"No, he didn't lie when he said that he couldn't recall the event at that time, I just don't trust him enough to allow him near you, because he used to be Jedrek's man." Torak started the engine and drove the car away. "And, I don't trust him like my own man."

"Isn't Jedrek your brother? Why don't you trust him?" Raine was a little bit confused.

"Because we have different viewpoints regarding mate, my love and I don't know if he still has the same opinion as before." Torak replied.

"What? What kind of opinion m?" Raine slightly shifted in her seat as this topic piqued her curiosity.

"When we were cursed by the Moon Goddess for not having mate for our entire eternity, Jedrek was the only person who didn't mind about that fact, because he had Serefina at that time and their relationship was really good to say the least." Torak explained.

"Then why did Serefina leave him?" Raine frowned, if they loved each other, why did Serefina leave him? It was quite obvious that Serefina also still loved him. "Is it because the Moon Goddess had lifted the curse and given you ad your brothers mates?"

"Partly."Torak replied in a doubtful tone. "Because when the war occurred I didn't see Serefina. But, when the war ended, she appeared out of nowhere and had a big argumentation with my brother before she, once again, disappeared for decades."

"Why didn't Serefina participate in the war?" Raine remembered something in her head, something that she kept forgetting to tell Torak.

Torak shrugged. "I don't know, I am not close to her. She used to be very close to Kace."

That was why, a rumor about Serefina eloping with Kace spread like a wildfire, especially when Kace left the realm not long after the witch. Only when Jedrek took an extreme measure to stop it and showed his wrath, did people stop talking about it.

However, them not talking about it didn't equal to them forgetting about it. No one would forget about how much Jedrek loved Serefina and how the witch betrayed him by eloping with his own brother.

Yet, seeing Serefina now, Torak was unsure if that was the case. Serefina didn't look like she was in a relationship with Kace as well.

"Torak, I forgot to tell you something when I went to the village of the angels for the first time." Raine bit her lip, trying to recall the crucial moment. "This is about Serefina."

"What is it?" Torak asked. He was frowning as well. From his mate's expression it was something that bothered her.

"I saw Serefina being killed on the day when Lycanthropes attacked the village." Raine informed Torak.
