Chapter 154 - Give Me Danos’s Head

At Raine's Private Residence, Moon Clan Territory

"Ah, it feels a bit weird now that Aire's not around. Also, how come…" 

Levi could not continue his words, only ending up gulping his spit as he looked uncomfortably at Boris. The man casually sat with them at the dining table. He was really happy that he was there eating with others instead of eating alone in the corners of his own room like a prisoner.

"Don't worry about him and focus on eating. Like I said, he saved my life, and this is the least I could do for him. Besides, Boss agreed to his request," Lyne reassured.

Boris had shamelessly asked their Boss to let him casually roam around the house and not just be detained inside his room. He said that he had proved himself enough as someone who could be trusted by showing them a secret passage leading to the Convel Society territory. Not to mention how he saved Lyne from an ogre and possible danger while Lyne was carrying out her duty in installing the barrier.

"Sorry," Levi murmured.

"That's alright, buddy. I know that this might get awkward, but please don't mind me. I promise I won't cause any one of you trouble…" Boris murmured with a grin. He was obviously way too happy just from his tone.

"So, did Lyne agree on being your mate?" Mia boldly asked. She was dying of curiosity, but she knew that she wouldn't hear an answer from Lyne. So instead, she might as well ask Boris.

"Mia!" Lyne burst. She glared at her, throwing daggers at Mia with just her eyes alone.

"What? I'm curious. Is that wrong?"

Boris chuckled, "No, she hasn't… yet…"

"Yet?" 

Levi audibly mumbled out, but Mia elbowed at him to shut up, making him zip his mouth shut. He tried his best not to offend Boris even though he was practically under their prejudice due to the bracelet he still wore. And yet, even with all the precautions, he couldn't help but wonder if what they were doing was okay… They were practically harboring mutants, and it was against the rules of the Moon Clan. Such an act was punishable by exile, and worse, death for some specific grounds.

The word 'yet' sounded like Boris had his hopes that Lyne would agree. Levi sneakily looked at Lyne, then back to Boris. 'Did something happen?' he couldn't help but muse.

"Eat," Mia whispered in her ear, noticing how Levi kept on vaguely looking back and forth between Boris and Lyne.

Lyne sighed as she focused on dinner. She was bothered ever since that incident of her staying at Boris's house. His offer to her kept on popping up inside her head. She was way too spooked. And upon hearing the ringing from her mobile phone, she immediately answered it, seeing that the one calling was her aunt that was currently staying with her mother.

"Excuse me… I'll just get this," she said as she got up from her chair and answered the call.

"Lyne, your mother. I really don't know what to do with her anymore," her Aunt pleaded, crying.

"I'm coming, Aunty…" Lyne said as she rushed towards the door.

"It's probably about her mother," Mia commented, noticing the worried look on Boris as his eyes followed Lyne's back.

"Her mother?" Boris asked.

Mia let out a sigh, "Yeah. Ever since Lyne's father died, er mother would always have a nightmare saying Lyne's father was not at peace because of that horrendous death. Even after all these years, she still couldn't accept how her husband died in such a gruesome fashion. I still remember how she would always beg Lyne to kill the one responsible for her father's death, saying that she would only be at peace if her husband would have justice. You see, Lyne's mother watched it, that video… of how her husband was torn to pieces by that Danos, all while laughing like a maniac."

"Why did she even see them?"

"Lyne's mother was working with the technical team specializing in retrieving and restoring destroyed files. So she was there when they tried to revive video clips of what happened during the night that King Marcus and King Danos met. Unfortunately, she was the one who managed to retrieve the clip of the fighting that evening… particularly, the one that showed how her husband died while calling out her's and Lyne's name till his last breath." Mia continued.

Levi sighed and interrupted, "I saw that video. And to be honest, that Danos was really scary. Those bloodshot eyes and hunger for blood were practically oozing from all over his body. He was like a crazy werewolf. I also heard how King Decan was trying to stop him, but he was already on a crazy killing spree, murdering humans left and right, sparing no one…"

"I will kill that Danos and offer his head to Lyne," Boris firmly declared with gritted teeth.

Levi and Mia exchanged meaningful glances at Boris's declaration.

Meanwhile, Lyne drove to their home and quickly went inside her mother's room.

"What happened?" Lyne asked her Aunty, who was sitting at her mother's bedside.

"What do we do, Lyne? She had another nightmare, screaming again about how she would kill that Danos. It's been years already, and we thought the psychiatric treatment would be effective. But I guess what the doctor said was true… that her symptoms would eventually come back so long as she wasn't able to meet what her heart desires…"

Her mother desired only one thing in this world, and that was to see Danos's head rolling down her feet. Lyne tried her best to accomplish such a task, but it was far too hard for her. She couldn't even find a good opportunity to attack that werewolf alone without her being torn into pieces before she could even touch a strand of the monster's hair. If only she was gifted like her Boss… She might stand a chance in ending the monster's life on her own but she was not. Boris was right… Without their weapons, they were nothing but weak humans that those werewolves would just cut into pieces.

Her mother opened her eyes, and as soon as she saw Lyne, she whispered, "Lyne. Please help me? I keep hearing that monster laughing while your father's screaming in pain. We must kill that monster and bring justice to your father's death…"

She held her mother's hand and whispered, "Please hang in there, Mom. I'll definitely bring you Danos's head soon. So please, promise you'll get better once that monster dies."

After spending a meaningful time with her mother, Lyne returned to Raine's residence with a heavy heart. Boris's offer constantly kept popping inside her head now. She must be nuts to even consider it, but it was the best option she had at the moment. She was far from confident that she could finish Danos off with her bare hands once they attacked the Convel Society. No… she needed help. 

As such, the first thing she did was walk inside Boris's room.

"Lyne?" Boris was startled by Lyne standing in front of her door.

"I'll accept you.. You can make me your mate so long as you can give me Danos's head…" Lyne droned out to Boris without even batting an eye.
