Chapter 379 - RAINE'S DECLARATION

This sudden interruption made all the heads there whipped toward the source of the voice and it was Raine who recognized him first.

"Aeon." Raine looked at the shadow warrior with complicated look. "What are you doing here?"

It was understandable that Raine was alerted by his appearance. The last time she encountered him, was when the devil deceived them and drew her blood that caused all of this calamity.

Raine didn't want that to happen again, yet she wouldn't let those Lycans to hurt the shadow warrior either.

"Stop!" Raine ordered sternly to those Lycans that was on their edge upon seeing Aeon.

"He is a shadow warrior!" the older Alpha recognized Aeon right away. "His kind supposed to be death long time ago."

Of course, because it was the Lycanthropes who had slaughtered them mercilessly as they took away the guardian angel from them. Raine had experienced that nightmare first hand to know it very well.

"Kill him." one of the Alpha ordered his Gamma and a few member of his pack to attack Aeon, On the other hand, the tendrils of shadow emerged from beneath Aeon to protect him.

Raine was slightly irritated with the scene that unfolded before her eyes. "I said STOP!"

This fight wouldn't bring them nowhere if they insisted to continue with this, yet Raine didn't have time for this.

"Luna, he is up to no good!" one of the Alpha protested. "We must to kill him right away, he must belong to the devil."

Raine just gained their trust and yet she already had to argue with her pack member. "No. I want to hear why he is here."

Aeon wouldn't take this huge risk to appear in front of the Lycanthropes if he didn't have something very important to tell Raine.

Or, this could be another scheme…

"I said STOP Aeon!" Raine raised her voice when she saw Aeon still didn't control his shadow. If the fight broke out, Aeon would be dead for sure as he was only alone against hundreds of Lycan.

Not to mention the witch beside her, who very itched to spell some destructive magic on the shadow warrior.

Serefina was still very irritated because of their last encountered. Well, Raine could say the same thing too.

Because of Aeon, Torak was injured as he suffered in his beast form for quite a long time before Raine came.

Raine wanted to step forward, but Calleb reached him and grabbed her wrist as he shook his head. She just gained the other Lycans' trust and respect, if Raine was about to step between the shadow warrior and the Alphas, it wouldn't look good on her.

Raine understood.

She stayed and from her standing, she asked Aeon. "What do you mean you can?"

"I can bring all of you to the place where they took Torak." Aeon said solemnly as he put down his shadow tendrils because Raine didn't like it.

Aeon had tricked her once, though it was unintentional, but who could say that this time he wasn't under some influence from the devil too?

"How can I trust you?" Raine asked after a few moment of silence.

This question raised protests from the Alphas. With that was being asked, it meant Raine wanted to take the shadow warrior with them, to join them.

Raine was aware with their objection, yet just like what she said, they didn't have much time and in need for every helps possible.

Yet, Raine didn't want to act recklessly and put all of them in danger, thus she had to make sure of this.

"You know that I will never try to hurt you." Aeon looked at Raine straight in the eyes, there was sincerity in the way he looked at her. Something that was hard to be ignored. "The last time, was my mistake. I didn't mean it neither I want to put you in such situation."

"Luna, we can't take him in." Alpha Chris raised his objection that followed by the other five Alphas.

"He is a danger. He holds a grudge toward us!" Alpha Romulus snarled at Aeon. "He is up to not good."

"Holding a grudge?" Aeon remarked at the statement of Alpha Romulus. "You had slaughter my kind mercilessly. What do you think?"

Aeon's reply didn't help at all.

The atmosphere became very tensed and all of the people there turned alerted because of his respond, yet before there was someone interrupted him, Aeon continued to talk.

"I hold a grudge toward all the Lycanthropes here." His eyes skimmed the room briefly. "But, I come here to help her, I have nothing to do with the rest of you."

Aeon simply wanted to help Raine.

Because of the last time, he always thought that he owed her. Regardless, Raine didn't heed his warning before to not come back to fulbright city, he still didn't want something bad happened to her.

"Why should I trust you?" Raine shook Calleb's grip from her as she stepped forward, "You dislike Torak." She stated in matter of fact tone.

"I hate him," Aeon stared at Raine tenderly. "Not you."

Aeon wanted to say that he loved her, but in this situation, if he was about to say that words, Raine's credibility would be questioned by the rest of the pack member under her.

He didn't want that to happen to her.

Aeon had painstakingly escaped from Lucifer as he failed to warn Raine last time, thus he would help her this time.

"What a great deal…" One of the Alpha sneered. "One is a guardian angel and one is the shadow warrior, don't you think this is a familiar scene?"

It was Alpha Rodrigo, his words hinted to the fact that guardian angel and the shadow warrior was a pair when they lived together long time ago.

Raine glared at Alpha Rodrigo. "Are you trying to say that I am on his side?!"

"I will not dare, Luna." Alpha Rodrigo bowed his head slightly.

"If he makes a single move that threaten any of us, you can kill him," Raine declared.
