The Love of a Lycan

A forehead kiss means protection. It's respect. It says "You're mine, don't ever leave my side". It says "I care about you and I don't want you to get hurt". It says "I'll come between you and whatever tries to hurt you". It says "I love you and you're my baby".

It would go without saying that the creatures that had followed Torak were ordered by Andromalius. That fallen angel really didn't know when to stop. 

For many decades ago, Torak had been avoiding dealing with any fallen angels or witches, as their temper and attitude truly annoyed him, just like Serefina and Andromalius now. 

"Let me see you my love." Torak loosened his arms around Raine's body as he cupped her face gently. 

Raine gave him a sheepish smile as she looked at him without blinking. She didn't realize that she missed him this much until Torak was standing before her eyes and within her arms reach. She didn't want to let him go. 

Raine liked the way Torak held her carefully and the way he called her with lovely endearments, or the way he stared at her, as if Raine was the only important thing in his eyes. And that was true, only she didn't dare to believe it yet. 

"My beautiful angel…" Torak sighed constantly, he kissed her forehead and her eyes. "Come…" Torak grabbed Raine's hand and led her inside the car. 

He still needed to take precaution, in case something unpredictable happened.

Torak admitted that he was being selfish now, as he could risk his life and Raine's safety by seeing her like this. But he could barely hold back his beast from running amok as the result of being separated with his mate. 

Torak helped Raine to get in the car and closed the door behind him, leaving the two of them alone while Jack was nowhere to be seen. He knew better to spare himself from the sudden display of affection. 

Both of them were sitting on the backseat with Raine resting her head against Torak's chest, enjoying his strong heartbeat while Torak pulled her hair band and let her jet black hair fall on her back.

Torak hummed in satisfaction when he felt her silky hair between his fingers. 

"What does Serefina plan for you my love? How did she treat you these past couple days?" Torak asked with concern, he really needed to know what that witch had planned for his mate as she could be a bit crazy with her plans.

Raine started to talk about Serefina's idea about calling a tutor so she could take part in high school exams in order to get her high school diploma, before she went to university and became a freshman. 

Actually Torak didn't really like the idea of Raine going to university. Serefina could just let her attend some online programs, it was safer for her that way. But again, he didn't know what was running inside that witch's mind. 

Torak made a note at the back of his mind, he would ask Raphael to do a background check upon the three universities, especially what kind of creatures that there were. 

Raine didn't talk about the house chores that Serefina tasked her to do. Because she didn't want to make Torak get angrier than this. His perfect eyebrows were knitted together. But, she told him about Serefina's odd rule about not allowing her to disturb her particularly once every month.

Torak nodded his head as if he understood something that Raine didn't know. Actually there weren't many things that she knew, but Torak didn't explain about it further and Raine didn't want to ask. 

"When that particular time comes, don't disturb her." Torak only reminded Raine that. 

His fingers traced her face, from her eyebrows to her chin, stopping at her ears that Torak thought they were cute, as Raine talked. He was fascinated by her, from the way she talked to the way she moved. 

He couldn't describe how much he loved her. With only a small simple smile from her, it could make his heart swell with happiness. 

Torak realized that he must be going insane. Of how insane it seemed, but he welcomed that feeling. 

"I don't know that four days is what it takes to make you talk more to me." Torak teased her when Raine started to talk about Torak's project with the government. 

Realizing that she talked too much, Raine shut her mouth and stared at Torak timidly, she was also not aware about this. 

Did I offend him? Did I annoy him? Was he angry?

Raine became conscious and warry, and Torak could see it in her eyes as he leaned closer.

"I love to hear your voice my love." He kissed her forehead and both her cheeks. "The most beautiful sound that I ever heard."

And that was all that Torak needed to say to make his mate happy again. Raine snuggled against his chest as she giggled.

"You said that this is not your territory, but why…" Raine's voice trailed off, Jack explained it to her before, but apparently his words couldn't convince her and she wanted to hear it from Torak directly. 

This time, her self-confidence wasn't the issue here, as this was a common insecurities and curiosity that any woman would face if the men took an extreme step like what Torak did and they became the reason for it.

"… Why would I establish a company here?" Torak picked up Raine's unfinished question. 

Raine nodded, hiding her face from him as she nuzzled his chest, this gesture alone could make Torak overjoyed. He loved when sometimes Raine acted bashful like this. As it could only mean that she wasn't afraid of him anymore.

When the first time Torak met her, she got scared easily, let alone hug him with her own volition, like what she did now. Raine would cower away the moment Torak got close to her and too afraid to even see him in the eyes. 

"Because I want to be as close as possible to you." Torak answered her truthfully, there was nothing he wanted to hide from her, not even his feelings and he didn't need to feel embarrassed to say something like that. Torak said it with pride, because she was his pride.
