Chapter 981 - KILL THEM ALL

Darkness engulfed Raine and she couldn't see where she was.

But, she knew that Aeon was here, after all it was not the first time the shadow warrior took her to this realm.

Soon, Raine could feel his warm breath tracing down to her jaw and to the bottom of her collarbones, sending warmth to her lower abdomen.

Afterward, Raine felt his breath brush past her b.r.e.a.s.ts, as she gasped in surprise and a growl could be heard from behind her.

Raine closed her eyes again, even though it didn't make anything different, because everything was very dark here.

And then she could feel his calloused hand on her waist and she was pulled to him. His nose nuzzled the curve between her neck and shoulder, and Raine's breath hitched with torturous delight.

In the next second, Raine was being pushed to lie on the floor, as his lips wildly kissed her neck.

The part of her knew his embrace was the safest place for her, but deep down she was scared and felt there was something wrong with all of this.

"Mine."

Raine could hear Aeon's deep and low voice resonating in her ears.

As if the darkness sucked her into a deep hole and her mind reeled, her body turned stiff and numb.

A few moments later, Raine sucked in a breath of cold air when she regained her consciousness.

As she opened her eyes, the golden light from the sunrise enriched her vision, but not bright enough to make her eyes feel uncomfortable.

Raine raised her hands and rubbed her face. "Aeon, stop it," she said in a low and tired voice and then lowered her hand to glance at the man, who was sitting on the edge of her bed. "What happened to you?"

Before this, Aeon had never stepped out of the line, but what he did in the shadow realm was a close call.

"I am sorry," Aeon muttered and then stood up, his expression looked uncomfortable.

"What happened to you?" Raine sat down and stared at the shadow warrior. From the way he reciprocated her gaze, Raine knew there was something that bothered his mind.

"Nothing." Aeon shook his head. "I am sorry." And then he vanished into thin air.

==============  

Torak approached Belinda, who was holding Purple in her arms, the witch was sobbing slightly, as she tried to heal the fae.

Upon a closer look, Torak could see what exactly happened to Purple.

It seemed that the dragon shifters had burned the fae's beautiful wings and now she was suffering in agony because of the pain on her back.

Belinda supported her head and casted a spell between her tears on the back of the fae, while Purple laid on her stomach, puffing out shallow breaths.

No blood could be seen oozing out from her wounds, but the burns and char on her skin was very glaring to the eyes.

"How is she?" Torak asked. His mind was in a disarray, as he tried to keep his sanity and the rage of his beast in check when he realized his mate was gone. Someone had taken her. The devils…

"I don't know…" Belinda said, her voice was shaking in fear. "I don't know how… her wings…"

Torak stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder in an attempt to calm her down. "It's okay."

On the other hand, Purple reached Torak's hand, as she muttered something. Her voice was very low, even with Torak's hearing ability, he couldn't hear it clearly. It was as if the fae just moved her lips.

Therefore, Torak bent his body and moved closer to her, to hear what she wanted to say…

============== 

Lilac, Sybil and the other Alphas were flabbergasted at what they had witnessed, even though the horde of the dragons had long disappeared in the horizon.

They just snapped out of their reverie when Sebastian approached them. "My queen," He said politely, but there was an urgency in the way he spoke. "The dragon shifters…"

"I know," Lilac said immediately. Her eyes became a few shades darker. "What happened there?"

Even before Lilac could hear Sebastian's answer, she knew that something dreadful must have happened and the look on the general's countenance only amplified her conjectures.

"The devils managed to take Raine and Hope," Sebastian said, solidifying what Lilac had guessed.

"D*mn it!" Lilac cursed loudly. Her slender body was shaking in rage. She was livid beyond words.

Her words managed to make the other Alphas and Stephan stop talking about the dragon beasts and put their attention back on Lilac solemnly. They didn't want to aggravate her any further.

"Are Torak and Kace here?!" Lilac's voice was very harsh, it was almost like she was cursing Sebastian, though that was not the case.

"Yes, they are in Raine's room." Sebastian flinched slightly when he received Lilac's angry gaze.

And then Lilac shifted her attention toward the Alphas. "Find the remaining fire dragon shifters and kill them all!" she said through gritted teeth.

She didn't need to show them mercy when the present situation was as clear as a day. Once again, the dragon shifters had betrayed them and chose to side with the devils.

This was why they didn't trust Stephan enough to lift the curse and prolong it as much as possible. While the dragon earth shifters didn't mind it so much, as they could feel that the lycanthropes didn't trust them yet, but the fire dragon shifters had a hidden agenda.

Therefore, there was no need to show them mercy.

"Yes, my queen." The Alphas answered in unison. They were a little bit surprised at Lilac's cruel order, but this was what they expected from their queen. Needless to say, they were satisfied with her decision.

Showing kindness to your enemies was a crime.

"Sybil, come with me," Lilac said to the witch and along with Sebastian, they headed to the place where Raine's was room located.

[Jedrek, the dragon people…] Lilac mind- linked Jedrek on her way.

[I know,] Jedrek replied to her immediately. [I can already see them now, they are here.]
