Chapter 975 - SEREFINA! YOU ARE INSANE!

Raine couldn't hear what Aeon said when the news anchor said a particular name…

Torak Donovan.

The news anchor was reporting that the tycoon from Donovan's company would open their new branch in the red river city.

"… Raine…"

"Huh?" Raine was slightly dumbfounded when she heard someone call her name and turned around to see that Aeon was standing behind her with knitted brows.

"Did you hear what I said?" Aeon asked, staring at the confused girl in front of him. "Why are you dozing off?"

"Oh, no…" Raine shook her head. "Sorry, what did you say?"

Aeon stretched out his hands and cupped her face. "Are you okay? Tired?" he touched her forehead, but thankfully her temperature was normal, so he thought the girl was only tired, after all she just returned from her school. "Just sit down, I will cook something for you."

Aeon pushed Raine to sit down on the sofa, despite her rejection and reluctance.

"I am okay Aeon, I will make dinner," Raine complained, but the shadow warrior didn't want to hear that. "I don't want to eat the food that you cook."

"Why? That is an insult." Aeon feigned anger when he heard that, with scrunched nose and defensively folded arms.

However, that gesture only made Raine laugh. "You and I know that neither of us will eat whatever you cook."

Upon hearing that, Aeon laughed along with Raine. This was one of the reasons why he loved to spend his time with her. She had never failed to make him laugh and enjoy the sense of happiness.

"I know," Aeon finally said, relenting. "You stay here, I will buy something from the nearby restaurant. What do you want?"

Raine shrugged her shoulders. "I don't have anything particular that I want to eat, just buy two different sets of dinner, so we can exchange." She was not a picky eater, thus she was fine with whatever Aeon would buy.

"All right." Aeon walked toward the door. "Is there anything else that you want?"

"Nope."Raine shook her head, smiling softly at the shadow warrior's figure that disappeared behind the closing door.

However, the moment she was alone, she turned around to stare at the television that stopped showing any news about Torak Donovan.

Yet, that name wouldn't stop echoing in Raine's head very loudly, while giving her a little bit longing feeling in her heart.

She felt like she had heard that name somewhere. His name sounded familiar… as if she knew that person… but, it was impossible, right?

============== 

"Selene…?" that name came out from Hope's lips in a whisper. She herself didn't know if she could believe what she said, but at the same time she knew that she had called her name correctly.

Her confusion was cleared when the moon goddess nodded. "It is me, my child," she said softly. Her voice soothed Hope's anxiety just like a breeze of warm air.

"But, how…" Hope shook her head, knowing how stupid her question seemed since the goddess had already told her that she was the one who had given her this power, of course she could be here, in this realm. "But, why did you meet me now?"

"You don't like to see me?" Selene raised her charming brows teasingly. She knew that was not Hope's intention.

"No, no, no," Hope said immediately, waving her hand frantically to let the goddess know that was not what she meant. "I mean… did you come here to help me? To let me know how…" Hope swiped her gaze over the two beasts that were still laying down on the ground. "… how to help them?"

"Yes," Selene said. "But, first of all, I want you to come closer to me…" She stretched out her hand toward her. "Come, my child…"

============== 

"Serefina! Are you crazy!?" Lidya shrieked. She didn't know what she had to do other than that, but now she was more than upset to know about the deal between Serefina and Nutdrouk.

Meanwhile, Serefina didn't say anything when she watched her old friend, one of the very few people that she could call as her best friends, shaking her head vigorously.

"You are insane, Serefina!" Lidya felt her chest caving in. "I don't want to know about this. You shouldn't tell me this," she said, repeating her words a few times, as if by doing so, she could get rid of the memory of her acknowledgment about whatever Serefina had told her earlier.

"Get yourself together." Serefina turned around, didn't even sympathizing with her, after she delivered a blow to her. "If you are done, go out and take Nutdrouk with you to collect Hope's blood."

"Serefina," Lidya called her name before she could go out of this room.

Her hand hung mid- air when she was about to open the door, but she didn't move and waited for her to say whatever she wanted to say.

"Don't you want to say something to Hope?" Lidya knitted her brows. "You raised that girl. Don't you feel the slightest compassion toward her? Or the need to explain this matter?"

"No," Serefina answered curtly and then opened the door without any hesitation.

All of this mess would come to an end, she didn't need some feelings to get in her way and drag her down.

============== 

"Can you reach the king?" Sebastian asked carefully when he watched what Lilac had done.

It was almost impossible to reach Jedrek over such distance between them through mind- link, therefore the general doubted it when Lilac said she could connect to him.

Yet, it seemed she did manage to do the impossible.

"Yes," Lilac said curtly. She turned around and faced Sebastian and Belinda. "Sebastian, tell the other Alphas, who are still here to meet me in the meeting room." She then shifted her attention toward Belinda. "Tell Hope and Ethan to meet me there too, but let Calleb stay with Raine if she is still not awake."

"Yes, my queen," Sebastian automatically addressed her that way without even realizing it. He even lowered his head, a gesture that he wouldn't show her a year ago when he met her.
