The Love of a Lycan

However, when their eyes fell on the little girl beside their Alpha, their eyes flashed with curiosity. They knew Raine from the magnificent birthday party their Alpha threw for her which was broadcasted live not so long ago.

The rumors said that she was their Luna, but then again, just like other common people, their minds were still stuck at the fact about Donovan's curse.

However, after witnessing how protective their Alpha was toward her, they knew she was indeed Alpha Torak's destined mate.

Meanwhile, Raine kept looking at those people who lowered their heads solemnly as she, Torak and the others walked forward. Raine had never been in a situation like this before and was amazed by the authority that Torak held.

[Don't look at them, my love.] Torak's soft voice suddenly sounded in Raine's head, startling her.

Even though the voice that rung in her head was very soft, but when Raine turned around to look at his face, Torak still had that cold expression which was devoid of any emotions, as he gave off a domineering vibe.

[Just look ahead.] Torak said again.

He didn't want any of them to see Raine's fragile side as he knew the nature of the Lycans and werewolves very well. They wouldn't take Raine seriously if she showed that side to them.

However much he hated it, he still had to admit that what Serefina told them was true. Their situation and his people wouldn't care to wait for Raine's progress.

Especially at a time like this, when everything had started going down hill and they had enemies in every corner.

Torak's pack members expectations were so high for their Luna and if Raine didn't meet their expectations, it would lead to turbulence within the pack.

Thus, the very least Torak could do was to prevent Raine from showing her concern and altruism toward them.

Both of those were something strange for their kind.

Raine needed more time to get used to this and Torak wanted to give all the time that she needed to her, yet it wasn't that case anymore. He had to start showing Raine how to be a Luna for this brute pack.

They walked for a total of five minutes before they reached a three- storey building, painted in blue.

Someone pushed open the gates for them and let them step inside the front yard that was filled with fully bloomed roses.

Just like what Torak had said to her, she kept her eyes from wandering to the beautiful flowers around her and fixed her eyes at the door.

When they reached the threshold, the same person opened the brown door and showed them inside.

Raine was sure this place was a pack house, similar to the one that she had seen before.

However, before Raine could take a closer look of the interior designs and feel amazed by how artistic this place was, her eyes zeroed in on the woman and a child that looked only three years old, she was kneeling on the floor.

That woman hugged the child protectively and would glare at anyone who dared enough to take a step closer to them. Mother instinct.

They must be the wife and the son of Alpha Ryan.

Her defensive eyes abruptly turned fearful when they caught sight of Torak's figure, standing just a few steps away from her in an imposing manner.

Suddenly she started to cry that prompted the child in her arms to wail as well, without even knowing what was happening.

Torak could sense his mate starting to take pity on them, but he couldn't let her show it in front of these people.

[Don't say a word and stay with Calleb.] Another warning that Torak mind- linked her.

Torak stepped forward as he let Calleb take his place beside Raine, just in case the situation turned ugly and Raine became too emotional to handle it.

"Alpha… I don't know what happened." The woman started to wail pitifully. "Please spare my son's life." She begged for her child's life instead of hers.

Raine slightly turned her head so she wouldn't see the expression of the mother.

"Clarice." Torak said her name and the woman was surprised that the Alpha actually remembered her name despite they had only met for once in the past. "Where is Ryan?"

Clarice wiped her tears and tried to comfort her son, so his cries would cease down. "I… I really don't know where he had gone… he was here this morning…" She stammered in her attempt to explain her innocence to Torak.

The Alpha narrowed his eyes. He didn't want to hurt any innocent people, not to mention a child, after all they were still his people, but he would do it without hesitation if that was something that must have to be done to make her confess.

"When was the last time you saw him?" Torak asked coldly.

Amidst her anxiety and fear, Clarice tried her best to remember when the last time she saw her mate. "I saw him… I saw him…" She stuttered and got distracted because the child was crying really hard, sensing his mother's distress.

Without any hesitation, Torak gestured for his man to take the child away from Clarice, and of course this aggravated the mother.

However, one of the Lycans easily took her down and the other lycan snatched her son away from her. Now, both mother and child were crying, wailing loudly.

"SILENCE!" Torak's voice boomed inside the house, startling all the people present, including a few who were standing at the back, who then shrunk their bodies out of fear, so no one could notice them.

"Stop crying!" Torak said grimly. "I will return your son unscathed if you answer all my questions."

Clarice, left with no other choice, nodded her head vehemently, biting her lip to stop her sobs. "Don't hurt my son… don't hurt my son."

Raine squeezed Calleb's hand tightly. The scene before her eyes was so heartbreaking. She wanted to say something, but she knew this was how Torak dealt with the situation, her intervention wouldn't bring any good result for them.

Thus, she tried hard to keep her expression as calm as she could.
