136 HOW COULD SHE SURVIVE?
-Ventum-
**************
Even Serefina, who most of the time didn't really care about the mood of the Alpha, was being more careful with her words when she checked on Raine.
It was a great effort on her side to keep her tongue clean from complaints and sarcastic remarks about anything around her, which she thought wasn't right.
"Still no progress?" Torak asked Serefina with a dark expression. His dark eyes were so depressing to see. Like a blackhole that could suck one soul if you stare at them for a long time.
Torak had neglected his business issues, and handed it over to Raphael to take care of it. Meanwhile, Calleb handled the damages that Torak had made in the hospital when they found Raine.
At this point, until Raine regained her consciousness and that he was sure she was fine, Torak didn't want to be disturbed.
To keep the serenity, the only Lycan that could roam around this house was only the Beta and the Gamma. Aside from them, it was a strict order to not step an inch near this grey house.
Raine was mentally too weak to be near them now.
Serefina sighed deeply. This was the only question that Torak gave to her every time she checked on Raine. Not only her, even those Doctors were treated not any better.
"She is fine, just need more time to rest." Serefina said tiredly. Torak's anxiousness was a pain in the ass for her. But she had to bite back her tongue to prevent herself from making a sharp remark. In the end, it was part of her fault that Raine was in this condition.
She felt a little in the wrong about that.
After the regular check, Serefina walked out of the room without saying anything. Because she knew Torak wouldn't want to talk about any other topics until Raine was awake.
This room was so peaceful, and quiet with sufficient light from the glass door to the balcony. But this was the opposite situation from the outside world.
When the news about the death of the older son from the De Medicci family came up to the surface, the business news was in chaos.
There were many turbulences in management because of this. As the head of the family of the De Medicci was killed, and the second heir was the suspect, currently there was also an internal issue within the family about who would have the right to be the new head of the family.
Not only that, this problem was also causing a big impact on the economy in this city.
Yet, none of that could make Torak moved an inch away from his beloved mate. The chaotic situations outside couldn't touch him.
In the blink of an eye, it had been three days since the last time he eats or drinks something. He even didn't get to sleep. Any normal human would have been sick by now. But in Torak's case, the atmosphere around him only turned darker and murderous.
When Torak was deep in thought, he felt something touch his head. And the sparks from the touch shocked him.
Abruptly, Torak raised his head. His eyes widened in shock to see Raine was staring back at him with a faint smile dancing on her chapped lips.
"My love…" He called her with a great relief, as if his deepest desire had been granted.
Torak held Raine's other hand gently, afraid that a little bit of pressure could hurt her.
"You are awake my love…" He kissed both of her hands with gratefulness, as if he thanked her for waking up now. "Do you feel hurt anywhere?"
Raine shook her head, and blinked her eyes weakly. She said with her hoarse voice. "Thirsty…"
Without wasting any second, Torak poured a glass of water from the jar on the table beside the bed and carefully helped Raine to drink. He cradled her in his arms, while supporting her upper body so she could drink without choking.
"Do you want more?" Torak asked softly, after Raine finished drinking the entire glass.
"No…" Raine said meekly. Her breath was still shallow, and she closed her eyes because the light in the room was too bright for her.
[Raph! Get the Doctors, and Serefina here!] Torak mind-linked his Beta with a sharp note as a result of the intense feeling that he felt.
On the other hand, because of Torak's sudden voice in his head, Raphael who was signing a lot of documents, made an ugly scratch on one of the important letters that he had to sign.
[Yes, Alpha.] Raphael said immediately, and picked up his phone to call the three Doctors who stayed at the first floor of the house.
Torak didn't let them leave the house until Raine was back to her original health.
Hearing from the way Torak spoke, seemingly their Luna just regained her consciousness. It was a good thing, so Torak could stop being a ticking bomb.
His anxiety was truly hard to bear by other people around him.
==============
After the Doctor ran a check on Raine, and they confirmed that she was fine, they decided to remove the IV drip on her hand.
Raine was keeping her head buried on Torak's chest during the entire check, and only answered their question with a nod or a shaking head.
After the Doctors had done with their assignments and answered all Torak's questions, they left the room, leaving only Raphael and Serefina to accompany Raine and Torak inside.
"Raine, how are you feeling?" Serefina moved closer, and sat on the feet of the bed, staring at the still weak guardian angel in the lycan's embrace. Somehow, she didn't like this picture.
Raine peeked at the witch through her hair, and tightened her arms around Torak's waist. But she did answer her. "Fine…" She said curtly.
Raine was still not at ease when she had to face Serefina. She was wondering, after she saw the witch had died with her own eyes, how could she survive?
