The Love of a Lycan

Jamie looked gloomily at the dark sky when she sat down on the bench next to Kai, who was applying his make up again for their next class.

"Where are Casey and Connor?" Jamie asked Kai grimly, who seemed determined not to be bothered by her questions until his lips were smudged glossily.

"Fighting again," Kai answered and sighed while putting back all of his things into his bag. "They had been fighting since…" He tried to remember, but couldn't. "…I don't even remember since when they are fighting like this? Both of them have always been so sweet."

Now, sitting at this table, were only Jammie and Kai. The news of Sunny's death really stirred up both the school and business world.

The police found Sunny's body inside a building. Stabbed to death, but the investigation met a dead end since only a few clues can be found at the scene. Temporary suspicion, Sunny was murdered due to family business problems.

Rumor said, Sunny's family business had a clash with the Donovan Company, but it was almost impossible because the two companies were not on par, except the fact that before Sunny was found dead, Andoori family signed a contract with de Medici family.

However, nothing could shake the world more than the news about the Donovan Company and the legendary businessman, Torak Donovan himself now.

Since Torak Donovan was accused of murdering a few high ranked polices, he couldn't be found anywhere.

Even when several of his subsidiary companies had collapsed and the main quarter of his business in the Red River city could no longer operate properly due to lack of management, Torak was still nowhere to be found.

He simply vanished and not only him. The young girl, who he declared as his woman, and a few of his trusted people had also disappeared.

"The weather is so gloomy." Kai raised his head and watched how dark sky hung above their heads. "Like a storm is coming."

"Hmm," Jamie murmured and noticed that a few people were in dark mood while the others seemed to be too sensitive to approach, as if they would tear your face if you rubbed them in the wrong way.

Oliver had his arm wrapped around Norah's shoulder as he walked her back home, but a sudden scream startled them.

"What is that?" Norah jumped in fear and looked around to find the source of the commotion.

Even though it was day time, but above them, dark clouds were hanging low as cold wind blew from the north. Recently, the weather was so bad, but the people were worse.

"Robbery," Oliver said as he nodded at the crowd across the street.

"This will be the third time in this week." Norah frowned.

Mystic river was a small village, which had a low crime rate, but how could this happen almost every day now? There were at least three cases within a week.

Perhaps, this was a side effect of the current economic crisis. From what they heard on the news, giant companies like Donovan were on the brink of going bankrupt, therefore it had a huge impact on the other smaller companies since that company had many subsidiaries in almost everywhere.

There were several riots in the big city and now people in this village, started to behave very strangely.

"Let's go, we have to reach your home before it rains." Oliver nudged Norah's shoulder.

============== 

"Cut his hand," Jedrek said to one of his men.

The guard executed his order perfectly and made a clean cut of Rowan's left hand, not long after that, an agonizing scream echoed throughout every corner of the dungeon.

However, this kind of scene couldn't even make anyone inside the room flinch or furrow their brows, as they had seen much worse than this.

Yet, Rowan still didn't let them know any useful information.

"Mate?" Torak asked, he propped his elbow on the armchair and supported his head with his fist.

"Have not met," Jedrek replied curtly.

"Family?" Torak asked again.

"All my generals are orphans." Jedrek chose it that way so their loyalty wouldn't be divided, yet apparently his idea was proved to be wrong.

"You killed their family?" Torak raised his brows.

"Their family were killed when there was a riot," Jedrek answered.

"Then, he is useless." Torak shrugged his shoulders. "You can't make him talk and since he betrayed you, there is nothing he is afraid of."

Jedrek touched his chin thoughtfully before he gave an order. "Kill him." Since Rowan determined to keep silent, then Jedrek would silence him forever.

Afterward, the executioner carried out the order. It didn't take long before the dungeon became quiet again.

"I will to go to the East region." Jedrek stood up when three guards dragged Rowan's body out of the room.

Torak didn't respond to Jedrek's statement. He looked at the two guards that were still inside the room and spoke. "Leave us alone."

However, they didn't take his order and didn't move an inch.

"They are not your people, they don't listen to you," Jedrek said.

"Then, tell them to leave. There is something I want to talk to you."

"About what?"

"About our parents and what you have done all this time." Torak also stood up. They were about the same height and very intimidating.

When the two Alpha's started to stare at each other, trying to subdue one another, suddenly the room became very tense and the atmosphere became very thick.

Even though, neither Torak nor Jedrek were looking at the two guards, still they felt intimidated and lowered their heads, not even daring to stare elsewhere except their own shoes.

"You know where they are and what happened to them." Jedrek's face was devoid of any emotion.

"Stop lying to me Jedrek," Torak scoffed. He looked at his brother carefully. "Is that the reason why you forced me to go?"

"You left this realm on your own volition." Jedrek waved his hand and was about to walk away, but Torak stopped him.

"Raine saw something."
