Chapter 1123: Aurora (2)

A roar full of anger erupted from the white beast as a black lycan attacked him all of a sudden.

The black lycan was well camouflaged among the pine trees, fog of rain and also the dark night.

Kayden tried to release the bite by clawing at his attacker's body, but he only realized now that the attacker was so strong and no matter what he did, he couldn't get the bite off his shoulder.

The assailant bit him in the area only inches from his neck, where if he had been bitten in that spot, it was certain that Kayden would not survive by now.

The two lycans have colors that were very contradictory to each other and look like a symbol that portrayed balance, although it was not the case for them now.

The white lycan's roar grew louder and louder, while the other shifters rushed towards him and offered assistance.

Gin, in his lycan form, jumped onto the black lycan's back and tried to pierce his sharp teeth into his neck, but before he could do that, the lycan flipped its body very quickly and made Gin crushed by the black lycan's body.

But, at that moment the black lycan released its bite on Kayden and he took this opportunity to break free.

Kayden stepped aside to recuperate, while the other two lycan warriors stepped forward to help Gin, in order to subdue the assailant.

However, the black lycan was so strong that even the three lycan warriors couldn't stop him.

He managed to overthrow the two lycans that were attacking him and prepared to flee when the other five lycan warriors came to their aid.

Meanwhile, Kayden was still trying to recover. Unlike most lycans, he took longer to heal, maybe this was because her mother wasn't a shifter and according to what Kayden had learned, her mother wasn't even a human, but a guardian angel.

He didn't know… Kayden never asked about it.

The sounds of roars and howls filled the cold, fog- shrouded night, as the battle continued fiercely.

Even now the black lycan had to fight six lycan warriors at once while the other two had fallen unconscious.

Kayden was amazed to see the lycan. He had never seen a lycan with the same power as his father…

And when Kayden thought of Torak, the figure of a white Lycan that looked so graceful, but at the same time dangerous, walked with steady steps towards the battle.

His savage red eyes showed how angry the Alpha was at the intruder who had dared to enter his territory.

The white lycan growled deeply, causing the other six lycan warriors to retreat and make way for him.

And now, the Alpha would come face to face with the intruder who was so bold to hurt his pack members.

[Back off, son,] Torak said in his Alpha voice to Kayden through mind- link.

He knew that the fight this time would require a large amount of space and the Alpha didn't want his son to get hurt because of it.

Kayden then stepped aside, like the other lycan warriors…

================ 

Aurora woke up suddenly when she heard a deafening sound of thunder, her heart was beating very fast and her facial expression was worried.

She fell asleep on the sofa in the living room, while her mother was still sitting in the same place, staring out the window. She must be waiting for Torak to come home.

Often, Raine would not sleep, waiting until Torak returned, especially when the weather was bad like this.

Even after so many years together, her mother and father were like an inseparable couple.

Well, that's a good sign actually… incredible. And Aurora wanted a mate like her father.

"They still haven't come back?" Aurora asked, half yawning and rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"Not yet," Raine answered quietly, then turned her attention to her daughter. "Why don't you just sleep in your room?"

"I don't want to sleep alone," Aurora muttered, she then covered herself and lay back down on the sofa.

"You are like a child," Raine commented.

"The sound of thunder and lightning is scary," replied Aurora. She liked the rain, but the rainstorm scared her a little.

"Yes," Raine agreed. "The weather is so bad tonight," she muttered. That's why she couldn't sleep until Torak came back because she felt uneasy.

Although the situation was much better than before the war, but that didn't mean the general problem that often becomes a conflict between the pack, never happened.

"Mother? Where are you going?" Aurora asked when she saw Raine suddenly stood up and ran towards the elevator. Without thinking, Aurora immediately followed her mother and got into the same elevator. "What is it?"

Raine shook her head. "Looks like Torak and your brother bring some rogues," she said uncertainly. "Stay away."

Aurora just mumbled in response and when the elevator door opened, the two of them stepped out, Aurora walked behind Raine.

In the front yard, there were already many people gathered and this naturally made Aurora curious. She then rushed forward to take a closer look at what was really going on, while her mother was already standing on the terrace under the canopy.

It was still raining at night and didn't seem to stop soon.

However, there are other things that caught Aurora's attention, such as; the black lycan who stood proudly in the center of the crowd.

On the other hand, her father was trying to dominate the lycan and ordered him to shift  back to his human form, but it didn't seem like things were going well.

However, something made Aurora walk subconsciously towards her father… or towards the lycan…?

She didn't know…

Aurora didn't even notice when the rain poured down on her. Her body seemed to have its own mind and ordered her to move closer and closer.

"Aurora! What are you doing!? Get out of here!" Torak exclaimed when he saw his daughter in the rain.

Torak's voice actually made the black lycan in front of him caught the sight of the girl's figure…

And when their eyes meet, things become very clear and soon would be complicated…

Meanwhile, Aurora felt her consciousness disappear when she saw those eyes… and the last thing she heard was her father's roar as someone grabbed her body and the way he held her, was very comforting…
