Chapter 926: Did you see this too?
Chapter 926: Did you see this too?
Once Stephan was released, he fell to the ground and started to vomit. He was a sobbing mess, trembling violently. However, what hurt him most, was not that he had lost his brother, but the realization that his brother was very lost until he didn't even hesitate to kill him, his own brother.
Raine turned her head to see Stephan, she tried to ignore the fact that there was a dragon, as big as a house, lying in the background, dead. And, with half of the room crumbled down and showed the night sky behind them, everything seemed to stop for the people inside the room.
For a few minutes, the room was only filled with the sound of Stephan grieving. The two Donovans were kind enough not to interrupt with it.
But, in the next minute, Raine walked toward him, Stephan was her friend, if she could still say it that way. Raine didn't know what his real motives back then when he agreed to look after her in the university for Torak, but it didn't matter now.
[Raine, don't come over,] Torak warned her from across the room when he saw his mate walking straight toward the dragon shifter.
Torak and Jedrek were standing at the far end of the room, with a dragon heart near their feet and the dead dragon beside them, while Stephan was kneeling on the ground in the middle of this messy situation.
[It's okay, Torak,] Raine said, her steps didn't falter. Behind her, she could feel Calleb following her closely to make sure nothing bad to happen.
Meanwhile, Stephan was too shocked to realize that Raine actually came close to him, only when Raine's hand landed on his shoulder did he raised his head and saw her very close after a long time.
"Can you see?" Raine waved her hand toward the dead dragon, who was his brother, but her eyes were fixed on Stephan. She didn't want to continue seeing such a bloody scene. "That's what the devils did."
Stephan averted his eyes from Raine and tried to turn his head, to hide his tears, it felt very shameful for him to cry in front of her.
This girl was the girl, who was too timid to even raise her head and talk to him just a year ago, very easily scared and was very clumsy even though she was a Supreme Luna with hundreds of thousands of strong lycans behind her back.
However, now she was crouching down before his eyes and saw him in his most miserable state, when he was crying his eyes out for something that he didn't have control over.
"My brother is dead!" Stephan growled and he received an even more vicious growl from behind Raine's back, which was Calleb's.
"I didn't say he is not." Raine, a year ago, would be frightened when she heard this kind of growl, but now, she didn't even bat her eyes upon hearing that. "He is dead, that's the fact."
"So, what do you want from me?!" Stephan shouted at her and from behind him, he could hear Torak's footsteps approaching him, yet he stopped a few meters away from him and he knew why. Raine asked him to stop.
"He is dead and you are still alive, Stephan," Raine said. "Your brother will not come alive even if you cry your eyes out for seven days and seven nights straight and we don't have that much time with us."
Torak watched his mate talking to the dragon Lord's brother. He didn't know how Raine could make this crybaby shifter to take the lead of his people without his brother, but he wondered how this would turn out.
"If you keep crying like this I will assume you love your brother so much and want to accompany him in the afterworld rather than fight the true perpetrator who had turned your brother evil," Raine said, patting his shoulder again and stood up.
"You don't know how it feels!" The burden to be the only living royal member of the earth dragon shifters and had to lead those creatures was too much for Stephan to bear.
Yet, Raine scoffed. "Trust me I do." She folded her arms in front of her chest. "How old are you when your brother dead? Forty? A hundred? Two hundred?"
Raine looked down at Stephan, who was glaring back at her.
"I was eight when those filthy creatures killed my parents and left me alone with only myself to rely on, but you still have your people with you." Raine said. "Pull yourself together. We are fighting the same enemy. Let your people know that they were going fight along side a decent leader who was worthy to fight for."
Stephan gritted his teeth, but his eyes were on Raine. He felt humiliated by her words, but what she said was true.
"You don't need to be worried about your last female, but worry about the world that would disappear once the devils won this battle, after that, even if you got your female, there would be nothing much for you to do except being a slave to the devils," Raine said in her calm and deep voice.
After saying that, Raine and Stephan looked at each other deeply, until Torak stepped forward and put his arm around his mate's shoulders.
"Let's go." Torak pulled Raine with him as they left the room.
Not long after that, Jedrek and Lilac followed suit along with the rest of the lycan warriors. They left the door open and didn't restrain the three dragon shifters again.

"Do you think he will change his mind later?" Torak asked, kissing his mate's neck, while hugging her from behind once they were alone and inside their room.
"Yes," Raine said, smiling gently. She loved this Torak, who didn't distance himself from her.
"How can you be so sure?" Torak turned Raine, so that she could face him. However, she saw that something was still bothering her mate.
"I can see it," Raine said confidently. "He will help us with the war."
"And what else do you see?" Torak pushed her against the wall and caressed her cheeks. "Did you see this coming too?" he lowered his head and kissed her lips softly.
