Chapter 988 - DENYING HER FATE

"I can bring you there," Lilac intervened.

She knew what Calleb wanted to say to Torak and she already found the solution to that problem. Lilac couldn't say it earlier because there were a few things that she needed to settle down first and the event with the dragon shifters only delayed it further.

"Could you?" Torak turned around and faced the guardian angel, while Calleb practically jumped in excitement, since Lilac offered a breakthrough for this painstaking situation.

"I just figured it now… your problem is with the spell around the sanctuary which prevented you from teleporting into that place." Lilac touched her chin. "I think I can help you with it."

"But, you are not a witch," Calleb stated the obvious. He didn't mean to crush the new hope that he just got, he just wanted to make things clear for them.

"Obviously," Lilac said, rolling her eyes. "I am a guardian angel."

On the side, Sebastian listened to what Lilac wanted to say silently. It looked very strange as what he came to know about the guardian angel all this while was differing way too far from the first time he met her.

Now, he respected her like the queen she was and, just like Jedrek, Sebastian put his loyalty on her. Since Jedrek had trusted Lilac under his protection, he would do everything to ensure her safety.

"How will you do that?" Torak asked.

"The blood of a guardian angel could strengthen your power. In case you forgot," Lilac reminded them about the reason why the guardian angels were being chased centuries ago and also the reason why their kind needed to seek protection from the shadow warriors.

Not to mention about fact that the blood of the guardian angel that was taken willingly was more powerful. It was also for this same reason that Lidya couldn't take Hope's blood without her consent, since it would spoil everything and the effect wouldn't be up to her expectations.

Torak narrowed his eyes. A lot of things happened these past few weeks and the thought that he could take blood from his mate would always be an out of option, thus that little fact was almost forgotten by him.

"Calleb," Torak said, his eyes were still on Lilac. "Bring all the Alphas and the lycan warriors with you."

Before this, six Alphas and two hundreds lycan warriors were delegated to assist Calleb, but because of the magic that surrounded the place, they couldn't teleport themselves in.

And now, since the problem had been solved by Lilac, they could continue with their initial plan.

Calleb didn't even waste one more second before he dashed to gather all the people that he needed with James' help.

"Sybil, come with me," Lilac said and the two of them separated themselves from the others, so she could tell the witch what she should do.

On the other hand, Torak saw Stephan and the rest of the earth dragon shifters, who were still sitting on the ground, still reeling from their shock.

"Get up," Torak said to the dragon lord. "There are a lot of things to talk." He didn't want to waste any more time now, since his mate was in the devil's hands, his calmness was only a façade over the rage that was brewing inside.

Slowly, Stephan got up and looked at Torak.

From the look on the Supreme Alpha's eyes, he knew the war had just began for them.

============== 

The last thing that Raine saw and remembered was Torak's red eyes and his furious expression, but the very next second when she blinked her eyes, something changed, No everything changed

She saw the sky turning red in the blink of an eye.

A bright red shade that was akin to blood. Even the sun was glaring in crimson color, as if it was angry.

For some unknown reason, Raine could feel her heartbeat quicken and her body trembled violently. She knew where she was. She had seen this scene before… and she didn't like it even one bit.

Raine balled her fists beside her body to make things clear in her head, since she already knew what she was going to see next, it wouldn't scare her like the first time, right?

Yet, she was proven wrong, because the moment her eyes landed on the ground beneath her, it was the most horrible thing that she had ever seen.

Worse than anything.

Raine's hand flew to cover her mouth to prevent herself from screaming at the top of her lungs. Tears started to fall from her eyes like a heavy rain.

Beneath her feet was the dismembered bodies, blood and many horrible things that she couldn't explain. However, she had seen all of this.

She had seen this when Torak took her to Rieka and to seek answers from the stone.

Raine did get an answer about the future that she wanted to know. However, how could this be the future? What future could it be when there was no life?

No!

This couldn't happen!

It was clear to see that all the living beings had died during the war. The death of the lycanthropes and the fall of all shifters.

This couldn't be true…

Raine closed her eyes once again. She shut them very tight, not willing to open them again if the scenes that greeted her were the same dreadful scenes.

And then Serefina's words echoed in her mind about the purpose of the resurrection of the guardian angels.

If she was still alive… then it meant the war had been won by the devils…

Serefina had made it clear since the very beginning that the death of the guardian angels was necessary to stop the war.

The witch had repeated her words countless times and she just ignored it because she thought it was only Serefina's way to hurt her and it was Torak and the other people around her, also her will to live that said otherwise…

Raine felt her chest caved in.

In one second she was living a happy life, but in the next, the reality hit her hard. This was what would happen if she avoided the things that were bound to happen and denied her fate…
