After the battle with the devils in the fulbright city and the crater that appeared there, human claimed it was an asteroid plunged the earth's atmosphere and crashed what become meteor crater.
However, no one could hear anything when it was happening, thus there were more than a handful conspiracy theories about this, which widely circulated in the community.
It was only those supernatural creatures who knew best about the truth behind it.
"Kace?" Torak put more sausage on Raine's plate. "Didn't you say that he has disappeared? And nobody knows where he is."
Raine cut the sausage into small pieces and stabbed it with her fork before she brought it to Torak's lips. The Alpha shook his head, indicating that Raine should be the one who ate that, but the girl insisted.
"I have someone to look for him, yes he is nowhere to be found. But, there is one place that I have not yet checked and I think he is there." Serefina drank her warm water.
There were only the three of them in the dining room while the other Lycan had gone long time ago to do their daily task.
Once the battle had ended in the fulbright city, they returned to the red river city, which they were safer, since it was Torak's territory.
Another reason was because Torak had become the most wanted person in this realm. All of his companies had been through investigation, as they found, inside Torak's burning house in the fulbright city, there were around twenty corpse of police officers, which three of them were high rank police.
Another speculation circulated among people. Some of them said Torak had been killed, but there were some people who saw Torak on the same day and the fact they couldn't find his body, nullified that theory.
Some of them said Torak had killed those police officers, but they couldn't find the motive behind it, moreover, what was the point of killing those people when he had nothing to do with them and more so, set his high- priced house on fire. It was not something a businessman like Torak would do.
This case was confusing beyond words and the person who could clear this up, had been missing ever since.
"Where do you think is he?" Torak asked after he swallowed the sausage that Raine gave to him.
"I think he went to northern coven realm," Serefina answered. She had been looking for Kace for nearly a year now and can't find a single clue of where he is.
Northern coven was the last place that Serefina wanted to visit and it was most likely Kace would go there to avoid her and Jedrek's people, who had been looking for him.
Even though it was not the safest place, but at least Serefina could guess who he was living with now.
"What is he doing there?" Raine furrowed her eyebrows. She knew about a story or two about Kace and couldn't wait to meet the Guardian Angel who was with him.
"Hiding," Serefina replied curtly as she put down her cutleries and pushed her empty plate away.
"What is he hiding for?" Raine frowned when Torak shoved a piece of sausage to her mouth when she was talking. She glared at him, but the Alpha only kissed her temple tenderly.
"Hiding from the world, his responsibility for the upcoming war and…" Serefina halted as she dabbed her lips with napkin. "…his brother."
"Torak?" Raine tilted her head toward Torak.
"Jedrek," Serefina corrected. No matter how many years have passed, his name still had the same effect on her.
"Oh, right." Raine just remembered the reason why Jedrek wanted to kill his brothers' mate. That Lycan despised them. "Has he met his mate?"
"Yes, he has," Serefina answered crudely and stood up. "We will go tomorrow, the sooner we go the better."
"Wait, Serefina." Raine bit her lips. She knew she was not supposed to ask this, but she was curious. "Did Jedrek kill his mate?"
Serefina didn't turn around when she answered her, she just shrugged her shoulder. ���Apparently, no." And walked out of the dining room.
When it was only the two of them, Raine turned toward Torak and with her big eyes she stared at him. "I will go with you."
She was aware that Torak didn't reject Serefina's word, which meant he agreed to go to find Kace to northern coven realm and Raine was dead- set to follow him.
Seeing how his mate was trying to appear dominant made him amused.
"If I say no, will you listen?" Torak kissed the tip of her nose as he chuckled.
"No," Raine smiled. "I will go with you."
"Then you will go with me."
==============
After Jedrek gave a few instructions to Tordoff and Theo, he went back to the carriage where Lilac had been waiting for him there. There were a lot of things for them to talk about.
However, when Jedrek opened the carriage's door, he found Lilac closed her eyes and leaned her head against the carriage wall.
Yet, the most disturbing thing that Jedrek found was her hair that turned white. He had seen this before when she was put in illusion, it would happen once a month.
And since her hair would return to normal the next day, moreover no one could explain what happened to Lilac condition, then the only person who could explain this was her.
Carefully, Jedrek put Lilac's head on his shoulder and covered her cold body with warm blanket.
"What happened with your hair?" he asked in deep voice. Whether Lilac was asleep or not, she would answer if she heard him.
"I lost my power every once in a month…" Lilac replied softly. She looked so fragile and vulnerable at this moment.
"Why?"
"In exchange for the life given by the goddess of the moon." Her voice sounded exhausted. "You killed me, remember?"
After Jedrek heard what Lilac had said, the journey fell silent, as he kept her warm.
