131 SHE WAS THERE, IN HER UNPLEASANT MEMORIES

**************
When the three people in front of him were off guard and not looking, Calleb turned into his lycan form behind their back.
He dashed to follow Torak while informing Raphael about what had just happened.
The Gamma could feel the Beta' frustration through the mind-link. Because apparently he was in the middle of something important with one of the mental institution board of directors.In about two minutes, Raphael would gain the permission, so they could search the entire building legally.
However their Alpha wouldn't wait for that two minutes of time.He just did things his way and on his own. Nonetheless, both of them should be grateful enough that Torak didn't make things harder for them by letting his beast take control.
[Follow him.] Raphael gave Calleb an order. [Make sure he won't make a careless move, we are surrounded by people now.] He warned him as he looked at the man in front of him.
The man was one of the mental institution's board director, currently he was making a phone call to his staff to grant Raphael's demand, aside he didn't know why Torak Donovan's right hand man was requesting for this, but to be in good side of Torak Donovan would benefit him either way.
[I am on it.] Calleb replied as he sniffed the air, tracking Torak through his scent in the air with his nose. The Alpha was too fast for him, he couldn't catch up with him on time.
[I'll be on my way there.] Raphael ended the mind-link with Calleb and turned his attention towards the man in front of him that had put down the phone.
"Please over here Mr. Lockwood, I'd be very glad to show you around this hospital." The man opened the door and held it for Raphael. "Though I am not sure if there is something in this place worth your interest."
"You will never know." Raphael answered him humbly.
==============
Torak dashed past the room after room to look for any sign of Raine.
As he was there, he witnessed how horrible some of the people treated the patients there. Above all that, it was just straight unfair and inhuman treatment.
Most of the patients who received that kind of treatment were those people who lived at the backside in the south wing of the hospital. It was an abandoned place with a dirty cell for each patient.It was a place designated for the patients who had been neglected or abandoned by their family.
Not only were they not treated well, but they were also not given proper clothes or foods. Inside the cold cell, they only relied on themselves to warm their body.
Some of the patients would stay at the corner of the cell, and some of them were shouting and screaming maniacally.
But, the most horrendous truth for Torak to believe was that two years ago, Raine was one of them.
This fact didn't settle well inside him, as he let out a low dangerous growl, he really wanted to bite off the head of that nurse who tortured his mate.
He would do that once he found him!
Torak circled that place twice until Calleb arrived.The big grey wolf stayed a bit far from his Alpha as he could sense the foul mood from him.
Calleb wouldn't confront Torak, and act like a superhero like Raphael had done when he saved the witch, Serefina, that night. All that only to stop the Alpha.
He didn't have the ability, and was two ranks lower than the Alpha. However, even if he were an Alpha as well, Torak would still be the only, Supreme Alpha of them all.
There was no way to make Torak listen to Calleb, hence the Gamma only tailed him without making any noise.
[Raph, when will you get here? The Alpha is very scary.] Calleb shuddered lightly when he looked at Torak's red eyes. [I think his beast takes control now.]
[I will be there in a second.] Raphael said hastily.
Only now, Calleb realized that Torak's eyes had turned into bloodshot red, the beast had been released. And now they could only hope for Raine to appear and be found soon.
When Raphael was tailing the white lycan, suddenly the white beast stopped and raised his snout, smelling something in the air.
The grey wolf also did the same, it took him longer in terms of time to distinguish the scent.
The only scent that could make Torak's inner demon was at peace.
The only scent that belonged to her…
==============
A second ago, Raine was looking at Aeon and how his entire body was engulfed with his own shadow as if the darkness consumed him.
She just wanted to reach out her hand to pull Aeon back, when she felt a sudden pull from behind her back. Out of the blue, a blinding light covered her vision as the cold floor beneath her feet suddenly disappeared.
Raine tried to grab anything that she could reach, but there was nothing except the empty air around her.
She closed her eyes tightly, prepared herself for the impact, until she felt something solid under her, and the feeling of falling stopped.
Raine's breath was short and shallow as she tried to open her eyes carefully.She just hoped that she wasn't trapped in a different era again.
The dim light from the lamp above her greeted her eyes, welcoming her vision to observe the room.
This place was familiar to her.
She knew this place like the back of her hand, because this place would often appear in her nightmare.
The place that she didn't want to visit ever again even in her dream…
And there, not far from her, that man was standing in front of a girl in white gown, smoking his cigarettes.
Later on, when he was done, he would approach the girl and extinguish the cigarettes on the girl's arm, the same way he always did toward Raine years ago.
