Yes, whatever the circumstances might be, Raine always looked beautiful in Torak's eyes.
And when the images changed, Raine's heart filled with immeasurable happiness as she saw herself calling Torak's name for the first time, as she began to speak and open up to him.
Of course, Torak didn't show the actual moment when Raine called his name for the first time, because those memories would only spoil their present moment.
After what happened and death that seemed to follow them in every step of the way, Torak just wanted Raine to know how much he loved her.
How precious the guardian angel was in his eyes. No one could ever make him feel all of this.
Torak then caressed Raine's cheek and pulled away a little when Raine was out of breath, and panting, with her eyes still closed.
Torak's chest rumbled when he saw how beautiful the woman in front of him was. No, Raine always looked perfect in his eyes.
"I love you, my love..." Torak whispered between his shallow breathing.
"I love you too, Torak, with all my soul," Raine replied and lifted her head with her eyes still closed, rubbing the tip of her nose against Torak's chin.
However, just as they were about to start kissing again, someone suddenly walked into the tent while exclaiming in great joy.
"Sun! Sun!" A man exclaimed as he pushed his way into the tent, ruining Raine and Torak's moment.
Hearing that someone else had entered the tent, Raine let out a soft cry and instinctively hid behind Torak's body.
However, it was not just Raine and Torak who were shocked, but that uninvited guest as well. He did not expect to find the Alpha and the Luna in his tent.
Yes, this was not their tent, Torak just took Raine to the nearest tent without thinking that anyone else might enter. Well, that was kind of reckless...
Torak felt the urge to be with Raine and he couldn't think of anything but the woman in his arms.
"Oh, I am terribly sorry Alpha, Luna..." The person looked away awkwardly as he felt guilty, he immediately bent his body and walked away, out of his own tent. "I will make sure nothing bothers you two again," he shouted shyly from outside the tent.
And this made Raine laugh, her laughter sounded very sweet in Torak's ears and he, who had been annoyed because their moment was disturbed, looked less angrier, as the Alpha looked back at the guardian angel with a gaze full of worship.
"You shouldn't rush into other people's tents, Alpha Torak," Raine said, teasing Torak as she hugged his waist. "You should be the one apologizing to that person, you know."
Torak raised an eyebrow arrogantly, but Raine knew he was not serious.
"Well, too bad, even though it was my fault, but I am the Alpha, not him," Torak said smugly, but then he kissed Raine on the lips again, making the girl laugh between their kisses.
"Bad Alpha," Raine criticized as she playfully slapped Torak's arm.
"But, you like it," Torak replied.
"No." Raine shook her head, backing away from their kiss and stared at Torak intensely. "I love it."
It may sound a little inappropriate to make out after what happened and the lives that were lost around them, but they needed this, they needed each other to keep themselves sane.
And no one would blame them for simply enjoying their time together after the hard work they put in, right?
==============
Jedrek stared at Lilac who was not looking at him on purpose and focused on the bright blue sky above them instead. Seeing that the sun shining so candidly, it was clear that it was daytime.
After Torak and Raine's departure, Lilac just stood there silently, basking herself in the warmth of the sun.
Her smile slowly faded when she realized that Jedrek was staring at her intensely. It didn't mean she disliked it, but this was the very kind of awkward atmosphere that the two of them were trying to avoid so badly.
And when Lilac felt that Jedrek should stop staring at her and start saying what he wanted to say straight away, the guardian angel turned her head to ask, but at the same time Jedrek turned his head in another direction, about to walk away from there.
This time, it was Lilac's turn to stare at his back as he walked toward the tent, meant for the two of them. Apparently, Lilac had to make another tent for herself. They both needed time to overcome all the confusion and chaos that had occurred, especially in their relationship.
However, when Lilac thought Jedrek would continue to walk away, the king stopped and turned back on his seventh step and looked at Lilac.
"If you have anything to say, say it," Lilac said quietly, but loud enough for the lycan to hear properly.
"The funeral will be held at sunset," Jedrek said.
"I will be there," Lilac answered in a firmer voice and Jedrek nodded before resuming his steps, this time not looking back at all.
And Lilac walked in the opposite direction from him, trying to digest everything that was happening around her, to calm herself down.
==============
Raine felt tired and fell asleep for a while in their tent while hugging Torak. That day was the longest day of her life and also the most exhausting one, both emotionally and physically.
Therefore, seeing his tired mate, Torak could not bear to wake Raine up and let her sleep as long as she wanted.
However, Raine woke up two hours before the funeral, with a throbbing head.
Raine blinked for a moment, but then she gasped and screamed softly when she realized someone was beside her.
"Hope! What are you doing?" Raine held her chest and head, her heart was beating rapidly in shock. "Why are you looking at me like that while I am sleeping?"
"Sorry, sorry, if I startled you," Hope said, then climbed onto Raine's bed and laid beside her, while Raine sat up and stared at her in confusion.
"You are acting like a stalker," Raine grumbled, but then noticed that Hope had something to say. "What is wrong?"
