Chapter 1165: Aurora (44)

Clarice took Aurora to a small cafe located a little bit far from the pack house. The cafe looked gorgeous with a touch of light lime color on every wall.

However, Aurora didn't feel that this place was so special that Clarice brought her here.

After getting a seat and ordering drinks and snacks, Clarice began to tell about her life in the blood moon pack and also mentioned some gossip about Draghar after the man killed his own father and snatched the alpha position from his brother.

"At that point the situation got a little out of hand and things seemed confusing. Not to mention the addition of Sebastian, the head of check point one who always opposes his decisions." Clarice drank her drink in a hurry.

"Why doesn't Draghar get him out of the pack when he really wants to join this pack and the blue river pack?" Aurora asked curiously.

"That's because most of the guard lycans are very loyal to him. Therefore if Draghar removes Sebastian from this pack, most of the lycans at check point one will follow him and that will bring a crisis to the security of our pack." Clarice reached out for her glass again to drink.

"Clarice," Aurora called her name as she reached out and grabbed the girl's hand in front of her. "What are you hiding from me?" she asked suddenly.

"What?" Clarice looked surprised. "Nothing, I am not hiding anything." Clarice shook her head and answered too quickly.

On the other hand, Aurora narrowed her eyes and watched how Clarice finished her drink in just one gulp. Of course it was a suspicious move…

"You know how horrible the people at check point one are? They are like monsters and prioritize their instincts over their human side, that's why Draghar separates them from the people in the pack house," Clarice explained again excitedly.

The people in the pack house are those who mostly have omega status, so life there was much better, while the people at check point one have their own place to live, separated from the others.

Aurora didn't understand why Clarice suddenly wanted to explain all this to her, but she let the girl do it and took a sip of her drink and then ate the snacks they ordered earlier.

But when Aurora had finished eating half her cupcake, Clarice stopped talking and stared at her with a strange, hard- to- explain look in her eyes.

"What is it?" asked Aurora because she felt something was wrong.

"I am sorry Aurora," Clarice said in a trembling voice. "I am sorry," she said again, crying.

Aurora became alert and immediately stood up from her seat, her eyes glaring at Clarice, as she began to feel something strange.

Her throat felt like it was burning and her breath became labored.

And the last thing Aurora saw was the figure of Clarice standing before her, while covering her mouth and crying, saying her apologies and when darkness enveloped Aurora, she heard several footsteps entering the café, as everything became so dark that Aurora was no longer aware of her surroundings.

================= 

Draghar was quite surprised by the sudden presence of Torak in his pack and immediately approached the supreme alpha.

"What brought you to my pack?" Draghar asked in bewilderment.

"Can't I visit my daughter?" Torak asked aggressively, he folded his arms, to show his dominance, but it had no effect on Draghar. "After all, isn't your pack already under my territory?" he asked.

Seeing that the situation was no longer conducive, Raine immediately walked over to Draghar and hugged him, making Torak frown.

"Long time no see, how are you?" Raine asked as she hugged her daughter's mate.

Draghar, who didn't expect the warm treatment, hugged Raine awkwardly and nodded, "thank you, I am good." And seeing Raine smiling, it reminded Draghar of Aurora's smile, therefore subconsciously, she returned the smile. "Let's go to the pack house, Aurora will definitely be surprised to see you."

And Raine easily melted the ice between the two alphas and extinguished the fire of tension that almost arose because of their showed of dominance.

================ 

"Draghar!" Knox immediately ran to his brother and left his friends as soon as he saw Draghar getting out of the car followed by several cars behind him.

The little boy threw questioning glances at the people who got out of the car, because it was unusual for the people in the pack house to be this packed with the arrival of strangers.

Draghar then lowered his body and carried Knox in one hand, while the boy wrapped his arms around his neck.

"Where is Aurora?" Draghar asked, holding Knox in his arms.

"Aurora left with Clarice when she drove me home earlier," he answered in a cheerful voice. Then he cast his gaze towards Torak, Raine and several other lycans who had come along with Torak. "Who are they?"

Draghar then walked towards Raine and Torak.

"Greet them, they are Aurora's parents," Draghar said to his brother. No matter how annoyed Torak was with him, he couldn't possibly show it to Knox.

Along the way, it seemed that Draghar could guess what had brought these two people here suddenly…

However, Draghar didn't blame his mate, because after all he had left Aurora in a state of confusion while the girl had no one but herself in this unfamiliar pack she had just met.

"What's your name?" Raine asked Knox as she walked over and rubbed his head, which made the boy smile happily.

"I am Knox!" he said cheerfully. "You look like Aurora," he said again, touching Raine's cheek.

"Of course, I am her mother," Raine replied with a chuckle.

"You have long hair…" Knox then ran his tiny fingers through Raine's hair.

The little boy looked amazed at Raine's long hair, just like when he saw Aurora for the first time.

And because Knox never saw his mother in person and only looked through photos, where in the photo his mother had long hair, it seemed that this little boy started to like long hair because he thought it was close to a mother figure he had never seen, especially when all the women in this pack have their hair short.

However, Knox gave Torak a different reaction when he saw the supreme alpha.

His brows furrowed and he immediately hugged Draghar very tightly, burying his face in his brother's neck. "Draghar, he's scary," Knox whispered into Draghar's ear, which Torak could hear clearly.

Actually the fear that Knox felt was due to the dominance that radiated from Torak's entire body and made him look scary to those of lower ranks.

And at this point it was certain that Knox was the same as Draghar when he was a kid… he didn't have a strong dominance when he was at his age like Knox.

Hearing that, Torak's jaw hardened. Annoying child…

"Where's Aurora?" Raine broke the tense atmosphere again and gently rubbed her mate's arm so he wouldn't be too upset.

"Aurora is out with Clarice," Draghar replied. "We will just wait inside, I will take you to your room."

After saying that, they all walked into the pack house and Torak and Raine got a room near Draghar and Aurora's room while the lycan warriors occupied another part of the pack house.

================ 

It was getting late, but Aurora still hadn't come back and this made Draghar so confused about what really happened to his mate that she didn't reply to his messages or pick up the phone.

The same thing happened to Clarice as well. They were both unreachable.

"Enough with this," Torak growled, who had run out of patience and rose from his seat. He looked like he was about to kill someone if he has to wait and sit around doing nothing while his daughter's whereabouts were unknown. "Order your men to find out where Aurora is."

"I already did," Draghar replied. Even without being told he had already done so when he couldn't contact his woman.

Then, as if there was an understanding between the two of them, Torak and Draghar didn't waste much time as the two of them rushed out of the pack house to look for Aurora and Clarice.

"Wait here," Torak said in a deep voice, as he bent down and kissed Raine on the forehead, leaving her mate with the annoying little boy. "I will be right back."

And Torak went with Draghar to trace where the two women had gone late into the night like this.

Torak also left the four lycan warriors to be with Raine, because he didn't trust anyone in Draghar's pack.

However, before the two of them could go to explore the city and find the whereabouts of the two women, they both found Clarice, who was running very fast towards Draghar with short breaths and messy hair.

At that instant Draghar felt his heart skip a beat, knowing that whatever Clarice was about to tell him, wasn't good news…

"Alpha…" Clarice started, her voice shaking violently as she stared at Draghar, but then she took a step back when she saw Torak, instantly her whole body trembled from getting that sharp gaze from Torak's black eyes. She could easily distinguish a very strong killing instinct.

"Is her name Clarice?" Torak asked, his voice deep and hoarse, as if he was having trouble speaking because he had to contain his strong emotions.

"Yes, she is," Draghar said in the same dark voice. "Tell me now, what happened," Draghar demanded, glaring at Clarice sharply.
