Chapter 818: Where is mine?
Hope watched as the dark aura around Raine subside slowly, and as of now, her breathing became even. She looked like someone, who was sleeping and not like a sick person anymore.
Yet, when Hope stared at Raine's chest, she tilted her head in confusion. She could see something was shimmering from there. A shard of glass?
Hope stretched out her hand to touch the faint glint on Raine's chest, but her hand was stopped by Torak.
"What are you doing?" He asked while loosening his grip when he saw Hope retract her hand.
Despite the fact, Torak was aware that Hope wouldn't hurt Raine, but he didn't want her to touch his mate casually, especially the vital part like her heart. It made him anxious for some reasons.
"Hha?" Hope raised her head and looked at Torak in confusion. It took her a few seconds longer to finally realize what Exactly Torak asked. "No… I just want to check something…" she replied in low tone, but when she saw the same spot again, where she had seen the shimmering light moments before, but it was vanished along with the dark aura that surrounded her.
How could that be possible? Hope tilted her head in bewilderment.
"What do you want to check? What happened with her?" Torak frowned when he saw that Raine had not opened her eyes yet. "Why wasn't she waking up?"
Hope raised both of her hands, as a surrender gesture. "I don't know." Torak's continuous questions only overwhelmed her. "Maybe she just needs sometime to recuperate," she murmured.
"Let her sleep for a while, maybe that is what she needs. If she still doesn't wake up tomorrow, we can find another solution," Lana suggested. "Her complexion looks better now."
Right, compared to her previous pale face, Torak could see a tinge of red blush on her cheeks and only when he realized this, he could breathe in relief.
"How do you do it?" Lana looked at Hope. She didn't remember that the girl has the ability to heal someone. How couldn't she know any of that?
"I don't know…" Hope shrugged her shoulders and then she told them the truth. "I just saw some dark aura around her. However, I am not sure if you can call that aura. It looks like a faint black smoke that surrounded her," she tried to explain what she had seen.
"Faint black smoke?"Torak narrowed his eyes dangerously. He disliked the fact that there was something threatening lurked around his mate.
"Yes, and also a white shard on her chest… I don't know what is that?" Hope's curious eyes kept staring at Raine's chest area. "But, it is gone now…"
"You made it gone?" Torak asked, finally understanding Hope's intention to touch Raine earlier. "You made it gone, right?" he asked again, emphasizing his words. He wanted to be sure that Raine was no longer in any dangerous situation.
"Uh, I am not sure, if it was me…" Hope's voice sounded troubled. She also wanted those strange things to be gone, but was not really sure if she managed to do it or not.
Subconsciously, Torak hugged Raine even tighter and rested her head in the crook of his shoulder. "Where is Serefina?" He needed the witch to check on Raine's current condition.
"I don't know…" Hope shook her head. "I have not yet seen her since yesterday."
"So do I," Lana chimed in. Probably, this was one day in a month that the time she didn't want to be disturbed. "Maybe she is in her room. I will call her."
But, before Lana could leave, Torak stopped her. "No, call her later when Raphael is here to accompany you."
The situation right now was not wise to send Lana alone to find the witch. Torak was not concerned about Lana. He barely knew this girl, but the fact that she was Raphael's mate, was more than enough for him to wish something bad shouldn't happen to her.
Torak then took the blanket and wrapped it around Raine's body. He cradled her in his arms as if he didn't want to put her down.

Lidya stood in front of the entrance gates of the castle, the rain had already stopped and the dark circular blotches on her clothes started to dry.
She?tried to push it, but she was not able to do so, thus the only thing that she could do now was to bust it down since she couldn't teleport herself into the castle, because she had never been there before.
Lidya took a few steps back and looked at the majestic iron and steel. She took a deep breath and tried to create a whirl of wind in her open palm.
The wind started weak and faint, but then it got stronger and stronger until Lydia couldn't hold in in her palm.
Afterward, she took another step back and watched as the whirl of wind became a typhoon with each second that passed before it moved forward, slowly but surely, shook the entire gigantic gate with so much force. Until the sound of it rattling to the ground and created so much noise of the breaking steel and iron.

"Hope! Hope! Hope!" Kace called his mate's name once he was close enough to Jedrek's chamber.
Inside the room, Hope frowned.
"Why does he keep shouting my name? He can just come inside this room and find me," Hope grumbled.
"You know him," Lana smiled softly. Kace could be childish sometimes.
"Ugh! He was just embarrassing me!" Yet despite of that, she stood up and approached her anxious mate.
Lana also walked together with her to the door since she smelled Raphael's scent which meant he was near too.
And once Kace spotted his mate, totally fine and a little bit upset because of his silly act, he hugged her body and buried his nose on the crook of her shoulder, relishing her scent, which was just like a hot chocolate.
"I am worried about you," Kace mumbled.
"Now you have seen her," Jedrek didn't hesitate to interrupt their moment. "Tell me where is mine?"
