Chapter 1125: Aurora (4)
"He took my daughter, Raine, I can't take this," Torak growled with anger, as he felt a heat rush through him and made him have to take all his self- control to be able to resist the urge to turn into his white beast and chase Draghar down.
Torak did not want this moment to happen so quickly. He had only had her daughter for seventeen years and now a stranger was going to take her away? How could Torak take all of that calmly? He couldn't think of any other excuse he could use to tolerate the situation.
This was not happening.
On the other hand, Raine just smiled when she saw how tense Torak was now. She herself was surprised to find their little daughter had found her mate, but according to Lycan law, Aurora should go wherever her mate took her.
That is the supreme law of the lycan and nothing can change that fact, including Torak himself.
"I'm going to meet that damn man and give him a warning to stay away from my daughter," Torak grumbled. He had never looked like this before.
Meanwhile for Raine, this scene was actually a bit funny if only she wasn't busy calming her overly emotional mate.
They were in their room after Raine managed to convince Torak not to go after Aurora and Draghar, even Calleb tried to persuade the Alpha too, but it didn't end well for him.
"You want him to stay away from our daughter? Don't you know for sure how much pain she will have to endure if you keep her away from her mate?" Raine asked in amusement when she saw Torak looking like someone who had just been slapped in the face.
And those words proved effective, as Torak walked back and forth in the room, trying to calm his current tumultuous emotions.
"What are you laughing at?" Torak asked grumpily when he heard Raine's soft laugh.
"You should have seen yourself, then you'll know what I'm laughing at," said Raine cheerfully.
"We're talking about my daughter," said Torak irritably. He didn't want Aurora to feel the pain of being separated from her mate, but also didn't want her to be taken away from him. This is very annoying.
If Torak had known this was going to happen, then he wouldn't have brought the damn lycan back to the pack house.
"Our daughter," Raine corrected. "She's my daughter too, I'm the one carrying her."
Hearing that, Torak looked at Raine and his eyes softened because he knew he had said the wrong thing. "You know what I mean, my love."
Raine smiled sweetly as she always did. "Of course I know," replied Raine. He then patted the spot beside her, on the sofa. "Come here."
Torak looked reluctant and didn't want Raine to calm his emotions, but who could resist a loving caress on your head when you need it the most?
Raine knew what Torak needed and this would help to calm him down.
"Aurora is not a child anymore Torak," Raine said softly, she then hugged Torak's head and placed it on her lap, playing with his hair between her fingers and this was very helpful for Torak to relieve the emotional shock he was feeling. "Isn't it time for her to find her own way. Besides, I don't see anything wrong with Draghar."
Torak let out an incoherent grunt when Raine said that name.
"He's weird," Torak said grumpily.
Raine laughed again and the sound of her laughter relaxed Torak a little, but if Raine could tell the truth, Torak was actually much weirder than that guy called Draghar.
This incident really showed a side of him that Raine had never seen at all.
================
Draghar stopped pulling Aurora's hand when they arrived at a large meadow behind the pack house, a place where Raine and Belinda often planted some flowers there.
"Uhm, I'm sorry for what my father did earlier, but usually he's very nice." Aurora took the initiative to talk first, because Draghar didn't say anything for a while.
The cold night air blew and shook the grass carrying the fresh smell of wet soil after the rain.
And because of that too, the bottom of Aurora's dress was a little dirty with mud.
"I'll talk to dad tomorrow, he'll understand, he's just in shock," Aurora said softly, but Draghar didn't respond.
The man still had his back to Aurora and covered his head with a hoodie from the black jacket he was wearing.
"Draghar?" Aurora called, she touched his arm and could feel the man becoming tense. "You didn't say anything."
Oh, is Draghar so nervous that he can't say anything? That's really sweet if that's the case.
"May I see your face?" Aurora asked carefully, then stepped aside to see Draghar's face covered in the hood of his jacket.
However, when Aurora's hand had reached out and was about to touch him, Draghar quickly grabbed the girl's wrist and said in a deep, rough voice.
"You won't like what you see," he said, almost growling.
Aurora didn't understand what Draghar meant by that and why wouldn't she like it?
"Why?" Aurora asked. "Is there something wrong?"
Draghar seemed to growl and this made Aurora flinch slightly. She never had anyone growl at her.
However, seeing her slightly surprised, Draghar gritted his teeth. "Wrong. Everything is wrong. I shouldn't be meeting you."
This statement made Aurora frown. "You don't want to have a mate?"
Hearing that, Draghar growled again. "Of course I want it!" The words were spoken like a roar, but then he realized his mistake and held back his temper.
Looked like Draghar has anger issue here.
"Then what's wrong?" Aurora didn't understand.
She loved the sensation when Draghar touched her. Calleb once explained how it felt when you touch your true mate, but experiencing it in person was very different. "Is there something wrong with me?"
Once again, the growl of disapproval could be heard and Draghar gently touched Aurora's cheek.
Draghar's hands were rough, as if he was someone who'd done manual labor all his life, but Aurora liked it nonetheless.
Weird indeed, but maybe that's how this mate bond worked.
"You are perfect Aurora," he said softly, but the sound tinted with sadness. "You're so perfect."
