The white Lycan flashed before Raine's eyes and suddenly everything turned blurry when he bit down the man's shoulder, digging the flesh of that man with his long and sharp canines akin to a razor blade. Along with that, the Lycan turned its body until all Raine could see was the back of the white Lycan, preventing her from witnessing the worse unsightly scene that was about to happen.
Raine was still lying on the floor, hugging herself for protection.But this time, she stayed still and looked straight.
In her current position, the scope of her vision was limited since all that she could see was only the white fur of the Lycan. But she could only sigh in gratefulness.Because she wasn't brave enough to see directly what Torak was doing to that man with her own eyes.
The sound of that man yelping and squealing in agony was enough for Raine to understand what kind of tortures that Torak was giving him or what kind of end that he was facing.
Yet, those dramatic voices ceased down within three seconds, and only left the sound of the Lycan's grunt.
Things took its turn really fast, in another second. Raine could feel the pressure under her arms, only to realize that Calleb had been pulling her away from the white Lycan to a safety spot.
Based on Raine's reaction the last time when she witnessed The Alpha's brutalism, the result wasn't really good.
[Raph! You better get here now! Things got really ugly here!] Calleb mind-linked the Beta as he scrunched his nose because of the thick metallic smell in the air.There was a lot of blood there. [Oh! And we found Luna!] He hastily added as he cupped Raine's face to avert her sight from the beast.
Calleb was afraid if Raine would catch a glimpse of how bad that man had become, and then she would turn hysterical.If that happened, he would be in great trouble.
"Don't look." Calleb kept Raine's eyes to look only at him, preventing the worst case where Raine had a mental breakdown on the spot. He knew his Luna had psychological issues, and he just didn't want to make it worse. Above all that, the Alpha wouldn't appreciate that.
Calleb frowned when he held Raine's small face. Only now that he realized that her face was so soft.She looked so breakable, very delicate that he could feel like he was going to hurt her if he added more pressure to her face.
How Torak could stand someone so fragile like this by his side? Wasn't the Alpha hate everything that looked so weak?
A mate really could change someone's personality drastically…
At least, Torak had changed a lot for his mate, that it was only Raine who got to be treated differently.
"Yes, that is Torak." Calleb nodded, glanced at the white Lycan behind Raine, who seemingly had finished with the homicide. "But…" He hesitated to explain the situation. "The Alpha is really angry with the man who hurt you just now, that's why… he had to do what he did in order to make him pay for what he had done to you… But, he definitely will never hurt you."
Calleb reassured her, although he wasn't sure if he had put the word in the right and understandable way, because he wasn't good with words.
Suddenly, a loud snarl not only shook Raine, but also Calleb.
"Alpha, I really mean no harm…" Calleb drew back his hands from Raine's face, as he raised them high in the air as a surrender gesture.He started to back away. "Alpha… calm down… Luna is fine…"
Raine could feel the big creature walked closer, approaching her from behind as its warm breath brushed against her neck and blew her hair.
Slowly, and determinedly, Raine turned her head carefully to not look at the bloody scene behind the white lycan
Her entire body shuddered due to fear, and the complicated emotions that she had been holding back.
Torak killed people again…
He killed someone again…
Aeon's words were true that he would never stop spilling blood…
Raine stared at the Lycan's bloodshot eyes.
The beast took over again…
But then, Torak's gentle voice from the past echoed in her head saying that,even his beast wouldn't be able to bear the pain of hurting his mate.
Thus, with shaking hands, Raine reached out to him. She clenched her teeth, and stilled her heart as she mustered her courage.
Wrapping her arms around the white Lycan's neck slowly, inch by inch, she came closer to him.
The white Lycan didn't move.His eyes followed every of Raine's moves, as if he was waiting what this small girl would do next. He even slightly bent his body for Raine, so she could reach him easily.
Once Raine got an assurance that the Lycan wouldn't hurt her, or suddenly became aggressive, she rested her head in his warm and soft fur.
Tears slipped from her closed eyes as she tightened her arms in relief.
"I want to go home…" Raine whimpered and sniffled.She had gone through unpleasant things, and now she felt exceptionally exhausted. She just wanted to cuddle with Torak like they always did, to feel safe beside him.
Under Raine's embrace, the soft fur on the Lycan dissipated, and as the sound of the dislocating bones was heard.The Lycan transformed into his human form.
Sturdy arms held Raine's figure firmly, as he caressed her back. "Yes, let's go home…" Torak sighed in relief when the scent of the sweet ground after rain invaded his senses. The only scent that could appease his beast
His mate had returned to his arms now. He would never let her go again, or away from him…
On the other side, Calleb watched in shock how easy it was for Raine to calm the outraged Alpha that had lost his temper, with only a simple hug.
[Raph.] Calleb mind-linked Raphael while looking at Torak, who was carrying Raine away in his arms, stepped out from the scene there. [You will not believe this… Luna has just tamed the angry beast by a single hug!] He said in amazement.
