Chapter 738: He is mine and mine only
Raine was taking some snacks from the kitchen while Hope and Lana were waiting for her on the top floor, where Torak and she stayed previously.
Raine missed this place, this was the first place to where Torak had brought her. She remembered how cowardly she was back then, thinking anyone might hurt her and how she wasn't able to speak a single word. With no friends or family.
Raine also remembered the first word that came out of her lips after years of being silent; Torak. Even though, the story behind it was not a pleasant one, but still… it was something that would be deeply etched in her mind forever.
However, here she was now… after going through so much and losing a lot of things, yet that was all worth it.
Now, Raine had a few people that she could call her friends and family, though they were not related to her by blood, they were family nonetheless.
And whatever would happen in the future, as long as she had them, Raine would be forever grateful. Torak, Calleb, Raphael, Hope, Lana, Kace, Belinda and a few people in the pack, they were all the people who were so dear to her.
Even the annoying Adair…
"So, you are back?" a voice as sweet as sugar sounded from behind Raine.
She didn't have to turn around to see who was there, thus Raine continued to fill the bowl with snacks. Since the men were inside Torak's study room for another discussion, the girls would spend their night watching movies until they feel sleepy.
And the best companion for that activity was; a few snacks, chocolates and drinks.
"As you can see, I am here," Raine said casually. She also remembered how Adair had destroyed the sunflowers that she and Belinda had planted, and how she claimed that she was Torak's baby girl. This girl was really annoying!
"Yes, I can see you and the other guardian angel as well," she sneered. Adair was still upset because of their last encounter. "And how you are being ordered around now. I can't see how you could possibly become a Luna for this Pack. You have no pride."
Raine popped a peanut into her mouth, before holding another bag of snacks and picking up the tray. She lost the bet with the two of them, so she should bring the snacks over. It was very simple, but why when Adair said it, it became very complicated? What did this have to do with pride? Raine couldn't understand her thought process…
"Move," Raine said in a bored tone.
Adair was standing right in front of the door, blocking her way.
"Or else? You will call the Alpha?" Adair crossed her arms in front of her chest. She didn't like the fact that they had a guardian angel as the Luna for their pack. No. She didn't like whoever became her Luna.
"I will if I have to," Raine said. She was upset with Adair, but didn't want to force her to do something stupid, because she knew that she wouldn't stand a chance if Adair really wanted to hurt her, moreover, there was no one in the kitchen at this hour.
"See? You are a coward." She mocked her.
Yet, Raine shrugged nonchalantly. "You can say everything that you want about me, but that still will not change the fact that I am the Luna in this pack."
"Do you think everyone was respecting you as Luna? They were just being polite because you are Torak's mate," Adair said grimly, but when she realized that her provocative words didn't seem to have the effect she wanted, she became more upset.
Raine was standing there, with a tray of food, staring at her calmly, didn't even bothering to talk back or defend herself.
"You are weak and pathetic." Adair insulted her.
There was an awkward silence after what Adair said and Raine still stood there laid back, her calm facial expression didn't even falter when she spoke again.
"You haven't liked me since the first time we met, so no matter what I say, it will only waste both of our time." Raine smiled softly at her. "I don't have time to explain myself to you, if you think of me as a weak and pathetic Luna, please continue to believe so. It is your privilege to believe whatever you want."
"See? You are so weak!" Adair sneered. This time, she moved aside letting Raine walk past her. "I pity Torak for having you as his mate."
Raine walked past her and turned around to grin at her. "And I pity you for thinking that you are better than me. Perhaps yes, you might be." She shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. "But, we live in reality and no matter what you say, the fact that I am your Luna and Torak's mate and everything you could ever want, is undeniable."
"You are so pathetic!" Adair snapped. She was upset because Raine didn't seem to take her words seriously.
"I am, I am…" Raine said casually and started walking away when she felt Adair yanked her shoulder forcing her to turn around.
Raine narrowed her eyes when she saw Adair's raised hand.
"You know what was the punishment for someone who hurt their Luna?" she said rigidly. "Slap me, and you will know how weak and pathetic I am."
Raine didn't break the eye contact with Adair, thus the lycan could see the threat in her eyes. She was serious with what she said.
It sounded weird, but Adair stopped her hand mid-air. There was something with the way Raine looked at her that chilled her to the bones.
"Try to stop acting impulsive or it will lead you into trouble." Raine shrugged her shoulder to free herself from Adair's grip. "Next time, I will not be so nice as to talk with you like this, if you don't give me the respect I deserve."
Adair gritted her teeth, she wanted to talk something, but she couldn't even utter a single word… somehow she felt afraid.
"And one more thing." Raine stepped closer. "Stop staring at Torak. He is mine and mine only for the eternity."
