THE LOVE OF A LYCAN

264 WE STARVE HIM

Afterward, Serefina needed to teleport the three of them to the place where Aeon had taken Raine.

"He fought the devils, and despite the damage caused by that short battle wasn't really serious, but the after affect took a toll on him." Raphael explained with a voice filled with grievances. "The collapsed building had taken many lives and it black lashed on Torak."

Raine then remembered the consequences for the supernatural creatures for taking a human's life, that was the reason why Mark and the other Lycans were hesitant to hit those reporters when they were surrounded by them.

One life could cause considerable damage for them, but by collapsing an entire building, how many lives did Torak had taken? Yet, because it didn't apply to the devils, all the damage was forced onto Torak to bear.

Calleb held Raine's shoulder to prevent her from moving closer to the beast unconsciously.

She needed to be close to him, to be with him and say how sorry she was for causing him so much pain like this, yet Calleb stopped her from taking one more step closer to him, and unexpectedly, this small action made the beast more aggravated than before.

The beast actually snarled and made a loud rumbling sound as he tugged the chains that coiled his body forcefully.

"He recognized me…" Raine whispered in her astonishment when she watched how the beast became more angrier the moment Calleb touched her. "Let me go to him."

"No, Raine, You can not!" Raphael grabbed Raine's arm tightly, afraid she would make a sudden move to approach the beast.

No one knew what might happen next. Seeing the situation now, Raphael couldn't guarantee Raine's safety or the beast would recognize her as his mate and wouldn't harm her.

It was too risky to test it out.

"He is calling for me…" Rained twisted her hand in Raphael's strong grip, but still couldn't free herself from him, he didn't even budge.

"No, Raine… it is too dangerous." Raphael pulled Raine out of the cell and gestured for Calleb to lock the door.

"He is not in a balanced state. His human side is too weak to appear, so the beast took over his consciousness in order to protect both of them." Raphael explained as he let go of Raine's hand, once they were out of the cell, leaving Torak behind the bars, snarling and enraged by the fact that the girl was taken away from him.

Raphael added. "If he thought of you as a threat, he will kill you without batting an eye."

Silence ensued after Raphael statement, silence was only for the three of them, but not for the beast that ran amok inside his cell.

As reluctant as Raine might be, but her standing here, wouldn't bring Torak back. "I will come back…" She whispered and caressed the metal bars, as if she was caressing Torak's fur.

When they walked out of the underground base, they found Serefina, sitting on the sofa while reading a magazine, placed in her lap, as if nothing happened and for some reason, her calmness and ignorance irritated Raine once again.

Raine found herself battling with her emotions toward Serefina, whether she hated her or not, however, she was too tired to decide it. There was some other important issue that needed her full attention.

Starting from now, it was best if Raine didn't take whatever Serefina's reaction seriously. They were good to each other, only if they both were on the same page, but when they were not, it was better to keep her feelings for herself.

Moreover, everything that happened to Torak had nothing to do with her, so it was understandable if she didn't show any sympathy on Torak's condition now.

In fact, the witch wasn't known for showing sympathy on anything.

"Why didn't you come with us?" Calleb sat next to Serefina and frowned at the witch.

"I have something important to talk with my sister." Serefina replied sweetly when she mentioned Belinda.

Calleb grimaced when he heard how she addressed Belinda. If Belinda was here, she would also grimace along with him. "Where is Belinda?"

"Kitchen. Cooking something for lunch." Serefina answered nonchalantly without lifting her eyes from the magazine.

Raine took a seat across from Serefina and Calleb. "Do you have any idea how to cure Torak?" Raine asked.

Serefina finally lifted her head from the magazine and met Raine's eyes. "I don't know, I have never come across a case like this."

"So, what else did you do apart from locking him down there?" Raine narrowed her eyes, if they did nothing, then how could they expect Torak to come back to his normal state?

"Restrain him from harming anyone around him and himself." Serefina answered, but it wasn't enough for Raine to calm her tensed nerves.

"How do you expect that he will return to being normal if you don't do anything? At the very least, you should have a plan, right?" Raine asked hopefully, those red eyes kept haunting her.

"We are trying to find a way." It was Belinda, who came from the kitchen direction. "Let's have some lunch first. We need a lot of energy if we want to find a solution to cure the Alpha."

Even though Raine didn't feel any appetite, she still followed the rest of the people to the dining table.

Belinda had cooked stir- fried beef with oyster sauce. There were no words from them when they took their seats, in front of the appetizing beef.

Calleb cut the beef in his plate and gave it to Raine, to make it easier for her to eat and Raine gave a small smile as a 'thanks'.

However, only when her fork just moved mid- air before the tender beef reached her mouth, did she remember something.

"What did you make for Torak?" She asked, looking at the rest of the people at the table, waiting for anyone of them to answer her question.

"He doesn't eat anything. We are starving him." Belinda replied calmly.
