The Love of a Lycan

The child's eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Raine, silently pleading Raine with his brown big eyes not to hurt him.

For a moment, Raine thought her idea was completely wrong, yet she convinced herself, it wouldn't hurt to try.

"I just want to ask you something, alright." Raine took a small step closer toward the child in the Lycan's arms.

Because it was just a small child the Lycan didn't actually treat him badly as he carried the child like how a father did.

"Raine, what are you going to do?" Calleb, once again, felt nervous because of Raine's strange actions. What could a three years old child do? Was she really suspicious of a child?

Raine ignored Calleb's question and reached out her hand to touch the child's cheek, just like how she did before.

Though she still couldn't figure out how that vision came and gone without her consent, but at the very least Raine hoped she could find something now.

Raine touched the kid with her good hand, instead of her other hand that just got a fresh wound.

Time seemed to be stopped when Raine touched him. The lamp flickered and went off as her surroundings turned so dark for her to even see.

Raine's breathing turned uneven as her ears caught a movement near her. A movement and the sound of a child crying.

Jade?

It sounded like him.

Raine turned around and found the child being carried away on someone's shoulder with his head facing the back of the man.

It was jade.

And the man… who was the man?

Raine knew she was in her own vision of the past, yet wasn't sure if they could see her. Would they be able to see her now?

Of course they would! Whenever she traveled back to the past, she literally went to that moment. Raine wanted to slap herself, yet she hastily tried to find a hiding place to hide.

She found a small cabinet, attached to the wall and slipped her body inside.

From the slightly opened door, Raine could see a man, carrying the little Jade on his shoulder and walked past her.

Raine couldn't see his face, but she was quite sure it was Alpha Ryan, whom Torak had been looking for as Jade kept calling him as his 'Daddy'.

Once, she was sure that man was gone, Raine opened the cabinet and stepped out of her hiding place.

She was in this creepy dark tunnel. Raine reminded herself to ask Serefina to teach her how to bring other people with her if she had to do this again next time.

Raine wasn't sure if it was safe enough for her to roam around in this dark place, yet wasn't that her actual intention to come to this moment?

If something went wrong, Raine would leave everything here and return to her own time. She had done it when she went to get the grimoire, so she guessed she could do it again.

Slowly, but surely she walked forward, fortunately this place has only one way, so she wouldn't have to be afraid of getting lost.

After Raine walked for three minutes, she reached the end of the tunnel, where there were a room with its door slightly open.

Raine crept closer and rested her back against the door. She dug her nails in her palms to suppress her fear, trying to listen to the voices inside.

However, the voices inside seemed like someone rumbling in strange languages. Raine couldn't understand a single word from it.

It didn't make any sense at all.

Carefully, Raine squatted down and peeked through the door that was slightly ajar, and the scene before her eyes made her hair stand on end.

Raine covered her mouth so she wouldn't let out a scream.

The scene before her eyes was so terrifying.

And everything got blurry.

When her vision was getting clearer, Raine was touching Jade's cheek. The boy suddenly stopped crying and looking at Raine in displeasure as his eyes turned red.

"PUT HIM DOWN!" Raine shouted immediately as she grabbed Calleb's wrist and stepped back along with him.

The Lycan, who was holding Jade, couldn't react too fast when the harmless little boy in his arms turned his tiny head and bit into his neck hard.

The Lycan let out a long agitated growl as he tried to free himself from the boy.

Once he managed to free his neck, he smacked the boy to the ground. The strength that he exerted was so great that the spot where the little body collided with the floor left a dent.

Raine grimaced when she witnessed that, could his little body withstand such impact?

However, she was wrong. Jade stood up as if nothing happened.

The loud commotion from inside the room attracted attention of the other Lycan's outside, yet when they were about to get into the room, the door was closed with a loud bang until the whole place started to shake.

Not only the door of the room that was closed but also the secret door as the bed fell to the ground, covering it in the process.

Now, there were only four people inside the bedroom, Raine, Calleb, the Lycan and Jade.

"What the hell is he!?" Calleb cursed out loud. His eyes turned dark as he pulled Raine closer to him and hid her behind his back.

Calleb's eyes flashed at the Lycan, who had been bitten by Jade. The blood that was gushing out from his wound didn't stop, apparently his healing ability didn't help his case.

What is it? Poison?

But, there weren't many poisons that could harm a werewolf, not to mention a Lycan. So, what is it?

Loud banging sounds from outside indicated that those Lycans couldn't tear the door down, no matter how hard they tried.

It must be covered with something. Dark magic? But, he was no magician, the boy was just a pup.

"Raine, what is it?" Calleb asked, his voice was so rigid. The Gamma was in high alert as he kept his eyes fixed on the little boy who was staring back at him.
