The Love of a Lycan

"What makes you think I will allow you!?" Torak's voice turned dangerously low and frosty as he approached her. 

"Your presence now will not help her. Until she could stabilize her spirit, you and your kind better limited your presence around her." Serefina brushed a strand of hair away from Raine's face.

"Why do I have to believe you?!" Only God knew of how much willpower that Torak needed to restrain himself from ripping the witch apart for suggesting that.

"You see yourself how I fixed her." Serefina shrugged nonchalantly, wasn't even bothered by the fact Torak's eyes had turned black. "I didn't say that you can't get close to her, just reduce your interaction. And for your information, if you didn't notice yet, I came with my own volition to help."

Torak glared at her when she walked past him. "If I can't get close to her, then on what basis you can!?" It was simply nonsense in his ears.

"We are from different kinds, Torak. I am not a shifter like you." She sternly stated the truth. "As a shifter, you have—hmm, how am I supposed to put it?" Serefina tilted her head as if she was thinking about something. "—an impure spirit. Especially you, who is bathed with blood and brutality."

The truth in Serefina's statement made Torak let out a deep growl as a warning. 

"I will give you some time to think about it thoroughly, but don't forget about her true purpose for being resurrected again."

With that last sentence, Serefina strolled out of the ward, leaving the fuming Lycan who could explode at anytime, alone. 

============== 

As another night fell, it was completely silent within the VVIP ward. 

Torak was sitting with his back facing the floor to ceiling window. He looked exhausted as the frown on his forehead engraved deeply as though it would be his permanent expression. 

Raine's fever had lowered down and her lips were no more of the scary purple color, leaving her complexion pale and unhealthy, but it was much better than four days ago before Serefina came. 

Though her fever had subsided, she still not yet regained consciousness even once. 

Serefina convinced Torak that Raine was fine, she was put to sleep so she could recuperate faster. And Torak didn't have any other choice than to believe her.

Since Serefina said the shifter's presence wouldn't help Raine with her recuperation. Torak forbade all Lycans and werewolves to come closer to Raine's ward. 

He especially hired some human bodyguards to guard her ward. Even Raphael and Calleb were not an exception. 

However, Torak couldn't really leave her alone.Therefore, most of the time he would stare at her from the furthest part of the room, which was the best that he could get, and the least he could do for her. 

Moreover, Serefina said it wasn't really necessary for him to completely stay away from her. 

���Where are you bringing her to?" Torak asked Serefina who was beside him, while looking at the nurse, who was checking on Raine's IV drip. 

He had come to terms that Raine needed Serefina guidance. 

He didn't want something bad to fall upon her. And moreover, how could he not accept their condition now, when his presence could possibly harm her?

"The best place is her birthplace." Serefina said. 

Torak narrowed his eyes. "Her birthplace is out of my territory." It would be another trouble. 

Even on his own territory, Torak couldn't rest assured to leave her by herself, let alone in the place where he wasn't in control!

Once his enemies caught wind about Raine being his mate, she would automatically be put in a death sentence, her life would be more in constant danger. 

How could Torak allow it!?
