THE LOVE OF A LYCAN

260 PLEASE DON'T JUDGE HIM

"I forgot to thank you for those people…" Lucifer said lightly without a hint of gratefulness, in spite of the fact that he was smiling when he said that.

'Those people' that Lucifer meant was the group of reporters that had acted brutal toward Raine.

Just like what Serefina had expected, someone pulled some strings behind that strange attack, but it wasn't orchestrated single handedly by the devils or the witch like she guessed, but it was both of them that had worked together to posses those people at the same time.

"No need for the formalities, it's my pleasure to be able to create a little bit noise in this calm realm." The witch traced her long fingers on the surface of the book. "Young blood…" She muttered faintly, but it was enough for the two men, to hear that.

"What do you mean by young blood?" The pale man asked impassively, yet his eyes zeroed in on the book in the witch's hands. He really wanted to take a sniff of that blood again.

He had never smelled something so addictive like that.

"This angel is still not at the peak of her power." The witch said nonchalantly. "You need her to be more powerful than this to be useful for you."

Lucifer raised his eyebrows. "I plan to kill her before she becomes more powerful than this." He said offhandedly. "I am powerful enough to not use her."

The witch clicked her tongue, annoyed by Lucifer's statement. "Don't inflate your pride in this matter, once she is at the peak of her power and within your grasp, you will see how easy to crush the world beneath you." The witch sneered. "It has long been confirmed that angels will increase your strength. Don't be so righteous by not taking the chance when it presents itself in front of you."

Lucifer scoffed and gulped down his wine. "Just do what I said. If I change my mind, I will tell you."

The devil didn't like to be advised and questioned about his decisions, but the witch's words tempted him at some point, to say the least.

"She has many advantages for you if she were to live than die in your hands." It was every witch's nature to act ignorant, so she also didn't take Lucifer's attitude seriously. "My question is; is she really the Alpha's mate?"

"Mm. I find it hard to believe it at first too, but from that Lycan's reaction when I threatened her, I think it is true…" Lucifer drank the wine from the bottle.

"Do other devils know about this?" The witch asked curiously.

"Wait." The pale man straightened his back, as if he just woke up from his delirious state. "Did you just say that the Alpha has a mate? No way, he was cursed by the Moon Goddess herself."

"And the Moon Goddess herself has the ability to lift the curse." The witch concluded.

"And make that weak creature called guardian angel his mate? Isn't that another curse?" It was well known how the Lycanthropes despised weak creatures like a guardian angel.

But, now Torak Donovan was actually bestowed upon with a mate from that kind? Wasn't that because the Moon Goddess wanted to mock him?

"Don't underestimate the mate bond of a shape- shifter." The witch lifted the book in her hand and scrutinized it, as she continued to talk. "Weak creatures? I don't think so… the guardian angel's condition is indeed unique, but it doesn't mean they are weak."

The witch had a different opinion about this, after all the fact that most of the creatures were looking for the guardian angels just to sap their power, was something that they couldn't oversee.

Their physic might be weak, but it didn't apply to the power that their magical blood could withhold.

The pale man sneered upon hearing the witch's words, he looked at Lucifer, who was sitting next to him. "Say a word and I will kill that creature for you." He said haughtily as a devilish smirk appeared at the corner of his lips. "Of course, after I drained all of her blood…"

"Do it if you can." Lucifer chuckled and gave him the permission.

While on the other hand, the witch narrowed her eyes because Lucifer had completely disregarded her advice to nurture the guardian angel and use her for their own benefit.

"What are you planning to do with the shadow guard?" The witch tapped her finger on the stain of blood on the surface of the book. "You didn't keep your word as you promised him that you will not harm the girl."

"That is why you don't make a deal with a devil." Lucifer smirked devilishly.

==============

When they arrived at the red river city, the sky was still dark. It was two hours before the sun would rise.

Once the plane had landed, the lights in the cabin were turned on and the four of them stood up as they prepared themselves to leave the plane.

They exited the bird onto the tarmac and the harsh wind greeted their small group. Raine needed to shield herself behind Calleb's broad shoulders to protect her face from it.

A man in his twenties approached Calleb and offered a polite nod for the rest of the people in their small group, he talked something to Raphael which Raine couldn't hear before they followed him to the large SUV that had been waiting for them near the terminal.

As they didn't bring any luggage, they didn't need to wait for that before they got into the car and the man handed a car key to Raphael.

This time, it was Raphael who was driving. "Raine, I just want to remind you. Whatever you see later, I hope you will not judge Torak by that."
