"Lidya, what happened?" Bree asked the witch when Bryana took her inside the house. The little girl looked for the witch immediately, because she felt she would have the answer for her question.
Yet, Lidya shook her head. "I don't know little girl, but you better stay inside the house." She tousled Bree's head, but her eyes were glued to the open window, which showed the rain that started to pour down from the sky. The strong howl of the wind was a terrifying sound to hear at the moment, as if it could tear down the building.
"Where are you going?" Bree grabbed lidya's dress when she was about to walk toward the door. "It is very scary out there, you can't go outside."
"I will be fine, there is something I have to do." Lidya gently untangled Bree's fingers from hers. "You should keep the little cat close to you, okay?" she nudged at the small fur ball in the little girl's embrace.
"Okay," Bree said gently as her lips tightened. "Don��t worry, I will keep her safe." And the little kitty meowed after her in response.
Afterward, Lidya gave a few orders to Bryana and some people before she walked out of the house in to the storm that was awaiting her outside.
==============
The two beasts were running as if it was a private race with each other as they sprinted as fast as they could through the empty streets of the city, apparently this strange weather had forced the citizens to stay inside the safety of their house and that was a good thing to do.
They moved very quick until it seemed like they were only a flash of white among this black droplets of water like rain.
Both of them didn't even slow down when they reached the castle gates. And just like the city gates, this majestic iron-steel doors were closed shut, while no guards could be seen in the vicinity.
This fact alone incurred the wrath from both of the infuriated lycans, they dashed forward even faster, when they thought about the worst possible scenario that could have developed inside this castle now.
The Donovans would flip this realm if something happened to their mates!
==============
"No one is here," Lana said, her brows creased as she tried to step aside from Raphael's broad back. She was not used to be protected, as she had been fighting alone since she was only a little girl.
However, Raphael wouldn't let anything happen to his mate, especially in this suspicious situation. She was pregnant and the Beta wouldn't be so kind to take any threat lightly.
When they stepped out from the tower they were greeted by pouring rain, yet when Raphael stretched out his hand into the rain, all his hand could collect was some strange black liquid along with a smell like blood mixed with ashes.
"Stay close to me," Raphael said grimly as he wrapped his arm around Lana's waist protectively and he took a detour toward the other tower through the connecting corridor, which had a canopy above their head to protect them from this strange rain.
Raphael didn't know whether this rain could be harmful or not, but he didn't want to take any risk by trying to walk under it with Lana.
==============
"Don't you dare to take another step toward us," Raine glared at the Sloth. There was not an ounce of her demeanor, which implied that she was afraid of him.
Hope was slightly taken aback with this side of Raine. Among the three of them, Raine would be the last person, to lose her temper in any situation, yet here she was, ready to fight back the suspicious man, who was trying to draw Lilac's blood.
Even though Hope didn't know who he was, but based on Raine's hostile reaction alone, she could tell that he was a dangerous person.
"Wow! Torak really has trained you very well, to the point where you're even brave enough to threaten me now," Belphegor said, his golden eyes shone brightly as he stopped only three steps away from them, staring at Raine with curiosity. "You are no longer a little bunny, now should I call you a little kitten instead?"
"Don't call me at all," Raine snapped at him. Her face turned hard when she glanced at the sleeping guardian angel, Lilac.
Her complexion was not as pale as before, even though they could see her rosy cheeks, but she was still in a deep sleep, without any sign of waking up.
"You are becoming more and more interesting," Belphegor complimented her, as he walked closer.
Seeing this, Hope immediately grabbed something that she could reach and threw it toward Belphegor. It was a red horse statue, which was as big as her hand.
However, before that solid stone could do any harm on Belphegor, he parried it like it was nothing to him.
"Who is he?" Hope whispered to Raine. Her brows creased in wariness.
"The devil," Raine said grimly.
And with the mention of it, both of them understood there was only one thing that they could use to fight the devil and it was; their blood.
Hope figured it out when she was thirteen years old and met with the first devil in her life, yet Raine learned it in the hard way at the age of eight, when she lost her parents.
"Yes, I am," Belphegor said proudly and walked closer toward Raine and Hope.
When both of them were trying to hurt themselves in order to draw their blood to fight Belphegor, someone opened the door and this halted the sloth.
"Chiron!" Hope cried out. "He wants to hurt us!" she pointed her finger toward Belphegor in accusation.
The centaur looked at him with hostility and spoke sternly. "Step back!"
Surprisingly, Belphegor listened to him and walked away from the three guardian angels.
Afterward, Chiron strolled across the room calmly and stood in front of Raine and Hope while staring at Lilac.
"I am glad you are here," Hope said.
Though Raine was talking to Calleb through the mind- link earlier, but the Gamma failed to mention anything about Chiron. He just asked Raine to call for help.
Yet, when Chiron moved forward to carry Lilac, Raine asked him the obvious. "Where is Calleb?"
