Raine looked around her after Belinda teleported them to Rieka, and from her surroundings she concluded that they appeared inside a castle like place, she almost mistook this place for the castle Jedrek had in the other realm back then, or was it Torak's? Since the latter said that castle was a gift for him from their late father.
"Are we in Rieka?" Raine asked Torak beside her and watched him nodding his head yes in answer. Only then did she hear something explode, shaking the ground beneath their feet rather violently. "We have to find Kace soon."
"No, we just need to wait, he will come to us," Jedrek said, as he walked toward the window and observed how the black smoke rolled up to the sky, from a few explosions in the distance.
It didn't look good…
As if on cue, someone opened the door and Kace appeared with Hope on his back and the fae, flying beside him.
Hope immediately jumped down and rushed toward Raine and Lilac while Kace approached Torak.
Out of the blue, Kace hit Torak hard until the latter fell to the ground with blood on his cracked lips. Raine, who saw this, shrieked before running toward her mate, as Hope did the same to Kace.
"What did you do!?" Hope tried to block Kace from attacking Torak again. Wasn't Kace fine just a moment ago? Despite their situation, he still threw a few jokes along the way here, in order to lessen Hope's fears. However, why would he fight Torak all of a sudden?
On the other hand, Raine helped Torak to stand up, but her mate pushed her behind him. "Step aside, my love," Torak said, as he gestured Calleb to take Raine and wiped the blood from his lips and the wound was healed almost immediately.
But, the guardian angel was stubborn to stay beside him.
"No!" Raine was agitated, she turned around and glared at Kace. "Why did you hit him?!"
"Why did I hit him?" Kace retorted in a mocking tone. "He deserves more than a punch for killing so many people in the castle!"
"It's not his fault!" Raine yelled at Kace. This was the first time Torak saw Raine getting all riled up. He was more worried about her rather than his angry brother.
"Raine," Torak warned her, as he put his hand around her shoulders, but the guardian angel swatted his hand away.
Meanwhile, Lilac crept closer to Jedrek and whispered to him. "Don't you want to step in? They are about to tear each other apart, and now, Raine is very angry."
Yet, Jedrek didn't look like he was panicked at all, he just folded his arms and watched what was going to happen with great interest.
"No, let Kace do whatever it's necessary to vent out his anger…" Jedrek said casually. Moreover, he really wanted to see what Raine would do, this guardian angel always tended to be very soft and quiet.
"Oh, yes! It's definitely his fault!" Kace threw those words to Raine, ignoring the warning look Torak giving to him and Hope's attempt to stop him. "He was the one who gave an order to leave the castle, if you didn't remember!" he sneered derisively.
Hope could understand how Kace felt, he always thought of Lana as his little sister. Hope also knew the story when they first met with each other, thus the relationship between them was quite deep, not to mention with the pact that Serefina made between the two, it made Kace to feel the anguishing pain upon losing her.
However, atop of all of that, the massacre in the castle reminded Kace of himself. His worst nightmare. The guilt that he felt when thousands of lives buried to the ground by his hands, under his command, in the first war.
It almost seemed like Kace was angry on his own self rather than Torak. Hope could understand that, but Raine didn't.
The guardian angel was very angry because Kace hit Torak out of the blue, and sure enough, Hope saw that thing again.
The dark aura that surrounded Raine. The more angrier she felt, the darker that thing became.
"Raine, calm down…" Hope tried to assuage her anger, as she couldn't take her eyes from black smoke like thing. "Kace didn't mean that."
"Oh, I mean it!" Kace didn't want to cooperate at all and no matter how Hope tried to warn him through the mind- link, he always blocked her and didn't let his mate to talk it out.
This only frustrated Hope further.
"Kace," Hope grumbled at him.
"You are judging him? Who would have guessed that the devils would attack at that time!?" Raine retorted. "You lost many lives under your command too, so how could you act like that?! You don't have the right to judge Torak!"
"Raine!" Torak called out her name sternly. What she said was a sour spot forKace and he didn't wish her to say it to his brother's own face. What happened to his mate? She used to be quite, moreover she should have known that the punch meant nothing for Torak…
Yet, no one have time to think when Kace lost it to his beast and roared, as he charged forward in his lycan form.
Torak, who noticed the white lycan from the corner of his eyes, pushed Raine aside and leapt forward to meet with the former's attack.
On the other hand, Jedrek was taken aback, he didn't know that this matter would escalate to this extent.
What Kace felt about beating up Torak now was way different from his own outburst when he fought him. Kace looked more feral and aggressive. He almost looked like one of those crazy humans out there, running rampant to destroy every single thing that their eyes laid upon.
"That is why they shouldn't put two Alphas in the in the same place at the wrong time…" Theseus, the new fire dragon lord, Lord Bayle's firstborn, talked to Stephan, who was standing beside him.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=13952362506619705)/outburst_%!d(string=50994695471425826) for visiting.
Yet, Stephan ignored him. His focus was on Raine… she looked very fierce and out of her character.
The atmosphere in this place was simply very strange…
