Chapter 858: Unexpected visit
Chapter 858: Unexpected visit
Casey and Connor fought again, but this time, Connor lost it and he slapped Casey until her lips split and bled.
"Next time you said that word again I will punch you hard enough for you to know your place!" Connor flared. He didn't even felt sorry to see the girl that he had been in love with for five years now, sitting in the dirt and cried her eyes out, while holding her cheek.
After saying that, Connor went away, leaving the girl in her miserable state alone.
Casey was sitting on the ground, in the front yard of her house, staring at the man that she had loved with all her heart, but now she realized that his shadow alone disgusted her.
She wiped the blood from her lips and it stained the back of her hand. Her lips stung when she touched it, as she could taste the metallic tang from her blood.
Casey blinked her eyes in confusion and slowly, she licked her lips again. To her surprise, she liked it.
She liked the taste of her own blood. She had never known that blood could taste so refreshing like this and…would be so addictive.
Casey frowned, her pain was long forgotten as she looked at the stain at the back of her hand, she pondered for a while before she decided to lick it.
She felt as if she was not normal when she tasted her own blood, but at the same time there was something that made her become more relaxed for the first time since months…
==============
Raine shivered in her sleep, the cold wind caressed her skin waking up her. She moved her body to look for her mate's warmth, but then she frowned.
Torak was not there and when stretched out her hands, she found the place beside her was empty and cold. It meant, it had been a long time since Torak left her alone.
In an instant, Raine opened her eyes and her sleepiness was gone.
She looked around her cautiously and felt slightly relieved that she was still inside her room. Sometimes, because of her power, when she woke up in the middle of the night like this and couldn't find Torak beside her, she would be scared silly that there was a fat chance she used her power without even realizing herself and threw herself to different time again like what had happened a few times in the past.
However, when Raine realized she was still in their room, she knew that Torak only went out of the room to receive a report from someone, and he wouldn't stray too far.
Raine got off from her bed and walked toward the door barefooted, from behind the closed door, she could hear Torak muffled voice. He was talking to someone in the corridor, just like what Raine had thought.
Raine didn't want to go back to her bed and sleep, thus she waited for Torak just behind the door. Leaning her back against the wall, she reminisced what happened today.
However, what her mind mostly thought at this time was the fact that the dwarf had come to this realm, wanting to help them.
It sounded odd, but Raine really wanted to know what she could do to get a hold of her power. For now, everything seemed to be calm, since the execution day.
However, no one was truly able to forget what actually happened that day, though Lilac and Hope had never mentioned about it again, but Raine could see the sadness in their eyes every time they encountered the centaurs in this castle.
And the worse thing was; this could get even more nastier than this.
The things that the dwarf told her also left her feeling unease and it felt like the more she wanted to know it, the more complicated the answer was turning out.
Raine played with her hair, while thinking and waiting for Torak to be done with his conversation, yet it didn't take a long time before Torak opened the door and found his little mate standing there in a daze.
"Did I wake you up?" Torak approached Raine and hugged her. He felt the little angel gingerly nuzzling against his chest and her soft voice could be heard.
"Yes," she said.
"I am sorry," Torak scooped her in his arms and carried her back to their bed.
"It felt so cold without you," Raine said in a teasing tone, as she felt the soft mattress against her back and Torak hovered above her.
"Were you trying to seduce me?" Torak pecked her lips and watched as the hue crept up her cheeks attractively.
"Yes," Raine said softly.
==============
The dwarf chose to reside at the far end of the north wing, where he found an empty small building like a cabin, which was almost the same like the one he had lived previously.
By saying that he was there with the permission of the Donovans and that the guardian angels told them to help him, the dwarf managed to make the guards to do his work.
This place was not the best, but at least he could sleep peacefully now.
Well, that was what he thought when his sleepy eyes caught a glimpse of a woman, who was sitting on the table in front of him.
"Arrghh!" the dwarf screamed, but his voice was muffled with a flick of the witch's finger.
Nutdrouk jumped on his bed and stomped his feet angrily, while moving his arms frantically to gesture at the witch to get rid her spell.
"I will do, but you need to calm down," Serefina said, staring at her nails uninterested.
Stomp. Stomp.
Nutdrouk didn't want to hear that and Serefina didn't care, but when the dwarf started to try to hit her with a pillow, she flicked her finger again and he fell butt first.
"Calm down!" she hissed irritably, her lime green eyes glared at him.
"What do you want?!" Nutdrouk whisper- shouted at Serefina, he thought he could have a peaceful night after the long journey, but what the hell that made this crazy witch to come and visit him here?
