**************
The harsh stream hit Raine hard as the water started to suffocate her.She felt her chest burning in pain because of the lack of oxygen.
The water flooded her lungs and it felt so painful.
Raine couldn't see anything and could hear nothing except the gurgling sound from her throat. She tried to move her arms and legs, but the coiled of the shadow around her body hindered her movement.
Not only that, the shadow dragged her forward to go against the stream of the water, making it hard for Raine to keep her balance.
When Raine's consciousness began to slip away, the water started to cease down, and her body laid on the ground once again.
"Raine…." Aeon called out her name worriedly and cradled her head in his arms. "Are you all right?"
The shadow that wrapped her body slid down and disappeared by then. Raine was coughing hard, her throat was very sore.
Aeon wiped the tears from the corner of Raine's eyes and pulled her closer to him, resting her head on his broad chest.
It was a good thing that she was still alive.He thought he had lost her.
On the other hand, Raine struggled, wanted to get free from his arms, but Aeon held her so tight and she didn't have enough energy to shove him away.
Raine let him do that for a little bit longer as she listened to his heart that was beating fast.The corner of her eyes caught a glimpse of a ground part, which originally was a house, but now it was nothing but a burnt site.
The tip of that part was so sharp, Raine could easily stab by accident if it wasn't because the shadow that engulfed her body earlier made her move to the other side.
Aeon had protected her again.
However, the catastrophe had not yet passed.From the debris of burning buildings Raine and Aeon heard whimpering voices, from the sound of the way they dragged their feet, seemingly they were injured.
That was the sound of guardian angels, who had been hiding in the bunker, but because of the fire they were forced to go out from and run out to the open area.
It wasn't a wise decision either because a lot of werewolves had been waiting for them outside.Sniffing the air to catch their scent to locate their place.
Because Aeon and Raine were surrounded by fire and the water soaked their body, the werewolves could barely smell their scents.
They stayed there while listening to the screams and cries of those guardian angels, who were being hauled by the werewolves.
If the werewolves were there, it could only mean one thing; there were no more shadow warriors that were blocking them.
In another word, to explain the current situation, it seemed that the shadow warriors had met their worst end.
Examination room was one of her worst nightmares, the place where Raine suffered the most when she was in the mental institution.They thought no one would care for her, because she was too crazy for someone to believe her words.
Feeling Raine's distress, Aeon helped her to stand up. "Let's get out of here." He said in a low voice when his eyes scoured their surroundings, looking out for any possible unwanted attack.
"Lidya…" Raine peeked through her damp hair, the fire around them helped her to not shiver in the cold water that soaked her clothes and body.
Aeon looked around him, earlier he returned with Dorian when their defense collapsed. The last time he saw Dorian and Lidya was when they saw Raine was about to approach Serefina.
"I don't know where she is, but Dorian will keep her safe." Aeon said impassively and then sighed in relief when Raine didn't insist on finding the other guardian angel.
Raine was aware about their situation, it would only bring them trouble if she pressed the issue to find Lidya. Plus, she didn't care about her that much anyway… Raine only felt bad about the rest of the guardian angels.
Yet, before Aeon could bring her away from this disaster, a ferocious howl ruptured the atmosphere, sending chills down to everyone's spine as they heard it.
Even the werewolves whimpered in pain.
That was a sign of Alpha.
Only those with an Alpha blood could affect those werewolves to act that way by only their howl.
"Shit!" Aeon cursed under his breath as his eyes stared in horror towards the scene that was happening behind Raine's back.
From his horrid expression, Raine could tell, whatever he was seeing now wasn't a good news.
Slowly, Raine turned her body and followed Aeon's line of sight.
A few meters away from them, at the spot where Serefina was being forced down to the bottom of the river, and then gained her power and fought them back until someone conjured a shadow to pierce her heart, was standing on its four legs with the fur that was as soft, and white as snow.
The white lycan roared in agony upon seeing the motionless body beneath him.
It was Serefina, bleeding from the open wound on her chest, her fiery red hair covered her face.But Raine could see the witch's skin that had turned pale as if she was dead, or… did she die?
The white lycan nudged softly at her body and licked her face, but there was no response from Serefina. The blood was still gushing out from her chest, smearing the snow under her.
"Raine, we need to go, now!" Aeon hissed anxiously when he witnessed the white lycan's eyes turned red.Red eyes weren't a good sign for lycan.
That could only mean one thing; he wanted them dead.
