Chapter 884 - THE TIME AND THE CURE

Torak had been looking for the dragon shifter's whereabouts for days, but he was still clueless until today, James, the hunter of his pack managed to find them.

Therefore, here they were, standing in front of another manor of the dragon shifters, which was only known by a handful of people before. Now though, Torak and the members of his pack came to know about this place after days of hunting.

This manor was almost as big as the first castle to which Raine was taken along for a visit long time ago. That was the first time she got to meet Stephan.

At that time, she didn't see Reynold, but she heard that Torak had done something to Stephan's brother and whatever her mate had done to him, Raine really didn't wanted to know about it then, much less now.

"Stay with Jack, okay?" Torak leaned over to kiss Raine's temple before he alighted from the car and approached the front door of the manor.

"What do you think will happen?" Raine asked, looking a little bit in daze while she kept her eyes glued onto Torak's back.

"The worse I guess," Jack replied. Didn't seem to bother with what was going to happen to the dragon shifters later, as he fished out his phone and started to play a game.

Recently, he found a good game, which piqued his interest in no time while he found himself getting addicted, ultra fast, as protecting Raine was not a difficult task to do.

Moreover, the guardian angel never complained whenever he busied himself playing, and Jack would always use his time guarding her to level up.

Of course, he wouldn't get engrossed senseless in this game, just in case something strange happened, he was more than ready to act quickly.

Meanwhile, Raine stared at Torak, who was standing right in front of the stairs which led to the terrace, as he talked something to one of the warrior, which she couldn't hear.

However, a moment later, someone brought something and then he put it in front of the door, afterward, he stepped back quickly and stood beside Torak.

Raine didn't know what it was until she watched how that thing exploded the whole well-built door, breaking down and left it with a big hollow. After the scattering dirt and dust settled, they could see the inside of entire room through it.

Inside the car, Jack just gave a brief glance when he heard the explosion before he focused on his game again.

"Torak didn't need to blast the door, right?" Raine was flabbergasted upon seeing Torak's method. Even now, she was still not used to this side of him.

"No, the Alpha didn't need to blast it," Jack answered. "But this way is much easier," he said in matter a of fact tone and Raine couldn't find the right words to reply to him.

All of sudden, Torak's voice rang in her mind.

[Did I scared you, my love?] Torak asked Raine through the mind-link, even in a situation like this, he was still worried about her well being.

Raine couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh, as she smiled softly at him, though the lycan couldn't see her from the dark tinted glass.

[I think I will get used to it over the time,] Raine said and she could feel Torak's mood lifting. [Be careful.]

[I will.] was Torak's reply before he entered the room.

However, before Torak could enter the place, something odd happened, as everything came to a stand still.

The faint sound that came from the game suddenly died down and the commotion outside couldn't be heard anymore.

Raine straightened her back as she was on alert.

"Jack?" Raine whipped her head to see him, but he didn't respond to her as his eyes focused on the game on his phone, which was on pause, or that was how it looked like.

A moment later, Raine was startled because the door on her side was being pulled opened from outside, but she soon sighed in relief, as it was just Torak.

"Come here," he said grimly and helped Raine to get out of the car. "Did you do this?" Torak asked.

In front of them, aside from Jack in the car, who couldn't move, the other lycanthropes that came with them, were also in the same position, not moving an inch.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-love-of-a-lycan_13952362506619705/the-time-and-the-cure_50465783687478230 for visiting.

As though the time had stopped for them, or… maybe it did.

"No, this is not me…" Raine shook her head. She would know if it was her.

============== 

"What are you going to do?!" Lilac watched with her eyes wide open when Serefina walked closer to Jedrek and sat down on the edge of the bed. She clasped his hand and kissed his knuckles while staring at Lilac provocatively.

"I told you, right?" she said, caressing Jedrek's face, as the king was not conscious enough to realize it. "I came here to help."

"Help?" Lilac jeered. "You said you are helping by betraying us?" she hated this when she couldn't move to tear the ugly smile off the witch's face, as if the situation right now was within her grasp.

"Us?" Serefina raised her eyebrows at Lilac. "I just want to help him, I don't care about all of you."

Serefina wouldn't be here if the devils didn't mess with Jedrek this way. Jedrek should have known that this was a set up, well he came up with a perfect plan by using the faes to help with the battle with the witches, but apparently it was not enough and now he was hurt.

"Your words are contradicting," Lilac sneered, she tried to move her hand, but she couldn't even move a finger to get rid of this things that wrapped around her body.

"I am not contradicting with my words," Serefina said. "I am here for him."

After saying that, Serefina completely ignored Lilac, as she put her attention back on Jedrek. She missed him.

It was hard for her to do this, but at least, she could help him now.

Serefina glanced briefly at Lilac before she leaned over to place a kiss on Jedrek's cold lips.

It was a sight that Lilac would have never thought before she would witness with her own eyes. And, as if time was stopped for her, she found herself feeling hard to breath.
