The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 264 - WE STARVE HIM

And then after Torak figured out that Raine wasn't at home and Serefina, who tag along with him, confirmed that she didn't travel back to the past by her own just like what had happened the first time, Torak used his last resolve to find her by using the firebird.

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

"He fought the devil, 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 voice filled with grievances. "The collapsed building had taken many lives and it was on Torak."

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

One life could cause damage for them, but by the collapsed of the building, how many lives that Torak had taken? Yet, because it didn't apply on the devil, all the damage was on 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 to say how sorry she was for causing him so much pain like this, yet Calleb stopped her to take another steps toward him, and unexpectedly, this small action made the beast more aggravated than before.

The beast actually snarled and made a loud rumbling sound when 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 arms tightly, afraid she would make a sudden move to approach the beast.

No one knew what would 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 find out.

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

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

"He is not in balance 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 was enraged by the fact the girl was being 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, the silent for the three of them, but not for the beast that ran amok inside his cell.

"There is nothing we can do here, let's go back…" Calleb suggested.

As reluctance as Raine was, with her standing there, wouldn't bring Torak back. "I will come back…" She whispered and caressed he metal bars, as if she was caressing Torak's fur.

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

Here Raine was, battling with her feeling toward Serefina, whether she hated her or not, yet she was too tired to decide it. There was another thing that needed her full attention.

Starting for now, it was best if Raine didn't take whatever Serefina's reaction seriously. They were good with each other if only they were in the same page, but apart from that, she was better to keep her feeling for herself.

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

In fact, the witch has no sympathy on anything.

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

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

Calleb grimaced when he heard how she addressed Belinda. If Belinda was there, she would grimace as well 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. "You have an idea how to cure Torak?" Raine asked.

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

"So, what you did to him down there?" Raine narrowed her eyes, if they did nothing, so how they expected Torak would come back to his normal state?

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

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

Regardless Raine didn't have the slightest appetite, she still followed the rest of the people to the dining table.

Belinda had cooked for them beef stir- fry with oyster sauce. There were no words from them when they took their seat behind the appetizing beef.

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

But, then her fork just moved mid- air before the tender beef reached her mouth when she remembered something.

"What Torak will eat?" She asked, looking at the rest of the people at the table, waiting for anyone to answer her question.

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