Chapter 819 - TORAK, SEREFINA...

Lidya was shocked by the dreadful scene that she was presented with as soon as the majestic gates of the castle busted down.

Many people were lying dead on the ground before her eyes, several severed limbs oozing with blood flooded the ground and swamped every spot that could be seen now.

The scent of those bodies, started to fill the air and the atmosphere became heavier. Not to mention about the sky, which was still dark. It only frightened her even further.

Lidya had seen her fair share of bloody scenes similar to something like this, but this was the most grueling and ghastly situation she had ever seen before.

She concocted a white fire in her hand and as she walked across the sea of dead bodies, she burned them all, behind her was, the entrance, which had lost its iron gates.

The gigantic iron was flown a few meters away and created so much damage to the buildings nearby, which were hit by the force when Lidya attacked the iron gates for her forced entrance into this castle by creating a typhoon.

After Lidya burned down those dead bodies, she put off the white fire in her hand, from which a white butterfly came into life, to led her toward the location where the Donovans were.

"Alpha, I am sorry," Calleb said in deep regret as he watched Raine's sleeping face. "What happened to her? Is she all right?"

Torak just gave him a brief glance before he replied curtly. "I am not sure."

Torak's answer made Calleb feel even worse. He failed, not only Torak, but also Raine. He was tasked to keep her safe, but then he was the one who brought the centaur, without even aware of his true intentions. He should have suspected Chiron when he met him all of sudden inside the castle.

However, he ignored his instincts and caused all of this to happen. Calleb felt like, he should have been able to prevent this catastrophe from happening. Not to mention that something very bad befell on Raine.

Torak watched the guilt that flashed in Calleb's eyes and let him hold onto Raine's hand, as he caressed it gently.

"Raph, get Serefina here. She must know something about Raine's condition," Torak talked to Raphael, who was still hugging Lana.

The Beta slowly released his mate and nodded at Torak. "I will."

"No. I will go," Calleb immediately stood up and ran toward the door, without waiting for Torak's reply. He wanted to do something for Raine.

On the other hand, Torak didn't stop him and shifted his focus toRaine, ignoring the quarrel between Jedrek and Kace not too far from him.

"Stop wasting my time!" Jedrek gritted his teeth, his eyes flickered back and forth between red and black. He was trying so hard not to lose to his beast. Because once he did lose, he wouldn't know what he would do and of course, whatever his beast would do, something that wouldn't benefit him, at this moment, when he was dying to find Lilac.

"You have to promise me first," Kace said, his tone became serious when he faced his angry brother, as he shielded Hope behind his back.

"Yes," Jedrek replied grimly without a second thought.

"I have not said anything," Kace spoke suspiciously. He narrowed his eyes, trying to decipher Jedrek's intentions, whether his consent was true or not.

"I will agree to everything that you want to ask now," Jedrek emphasized every word in his haste. He didn't want to waste another second. Those devils could do something to Lilac. That centaur could do something to Lilac!

This time, it was Kace, who looked hesitant. Those centaurs had been his friends for the last two years and, despite what Chiron had done, he still wished it would end different from what he thought. "Carina knew where Chiron is."

"Where is she?" Jedrek asked, he balled his fists tightly until his knuckles turned red.

"She is outside the city wall, with Sterling," Kace told him.

And right after Jedrek heard that, he rushed out of the room, leaving Kace, who was yelling at him.

Jedrek leapt over from the balcony on the second floor and landed in his white beast form, behind him, he could hear Kace's beast following after him closely, yet he didn't care. There was only one thing that he should do and he had to do it quickly.

Or else, he would regret all the stupid things that he had done to Lilac, without having a chance to mend his mistakes, in his entire existence.

============== 

"Serefina is not in her room," Calleb reported back to Torak when he was done searching for her for almost two hours and couldn't find her. Her scent led him to the north wing, but then it disappeared. She must have teleported herself from there. However, the question was; to where?

"Not in her room?" Torak frowned and looked at Raine again, there was nothing he wanted now except to see her staring back at him again.

Torak even let Hope and Lana to stay beside Raine, since Kace and Raphael went to chase after Jedrek.

"She is not in her room?" Lana frowned. She was totally sure that yesterday was the 'day'. Serefina usually would stay inside her room for a whole day.

"No, her scent disappeared in the north wing. I think, she teleported to somewhere." Calleb crossed his arms. "Where did she go at a time like this?"

This was not the first time that Serefina was absent in a critical moment.

Meanwhile, Hope, who was sitting beside Raine was trying to see the white shard that she had seen earlier, yet she couldn't.

She was still curious about that thing and was upset too, because Serefina was not here to explain it to her.

It would be fine if that white shard wouldn't harm Raine, but what if that strange thing would do otherwise?

However, what made Hope to sigh a little bit in relief was the fact that the dark aura around Raine had gone.

"Raine?" Hope called her name when she felt a slight movement from her fingers, which she was holding for the last few hours.

It took a little bit longer for Raine to open her eyes, and once they caught Torak's worried eyes, she tried to speak.

"Torak, Serefina…"
