Torak opened the tent and walked out to get some fresh air. He nodded to the two guards who were stationed in front of his tent. They would stay there to keep his mate safe.
After line of reasoning with Kace, Torak had another argumentation with Serefina about she, who would go the other realm and met Jedrek.
She looked reluctant, but didn't really turn down Torak's suggestion. The witch seemed to need a solid reason to see her ex lover. Which Torak understood and gave it to her.
In the end, what Torak said was true. Serefina would meet Jedrek eventually and it would be best if she went there herself, while Torak would take care of the matter here before they marched there.
All in all, the more Serefina pushed back her time to meet Jedrek, it would only prolong the discomfort and uneasiness that she felt. It would be better to put it to end right there and then, facing her own worries rather than dragged the matter longer. 𝚏𝘳e𝘦𝙬𝑒𝙗𝙣ov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
Serefina and Jedrek needed a lot of time to talk.
And just like what Serefina always said to Raine; in their situation now, there was no time for her to wait until she was ready, because no one would ever be ready to face their own fear.
Torak rewarded with a dagger look from Serefina when he mentioned that.
"Are you a lycan?" A childlike voice called Torak.
He felt someone tugged on his trouser and the Alpha lowered his gaze to meet a little girl around the age of eight stared at Torak with her bright big eyes.
"Yes, " Torak answered her.
"Are you Kace's big brother?" she asked again.
"Yes, " Torak replied and sat down on the grass, watching the campsite before his eyes."What are you doing following me?" He had felt her presence since he left the tent.
"I just want to know." Bree sat down beside Torak while hugging her cat.
"What is your name?"
"Bree." Bree looked at Torak and could see the similarity between Kace and him."They said you will take Kace away."
Torak raised her brows, caught out of guard by her question."I will."
Upon hearing that answer, the look in Bree's eyes showed how shocked she was, but then they turned gloomy.
"You don't like it if I take him with me?" Torak looked at the little girl, who was caressing her cat.
Bree shook her head."I like him. He and Hope like older brother and sister for me."
"Where is your parent?"
"They were died when a Troll attacked our house." Bree raised her head and her eyes turned bright when she talked again."Kace fought the troll and killed it."
"Hm, " Torak hummed."He is brave."
"Yes... and then they said he shifted into a white lycan and..."
Torak spent the next hours, listening to Bree's story about how gallant his younger brother when he fought the troll until how kind Kace when he caught a cat for her.
His brother hunted a cat for this little girl? Torak really wanted to laugh, as he knew Kace wasn???t an animal lover, but then he remembered he gave a bunny to Raine, even though he didn't like it.
==============
"If you don't want to go, you can stay here. Calleb will stay with you, " Torak caressed Raine's hair while looking at uneasiness in Raine's eyes under the scorching sun.
They would go back to mystic river village after they buried the bones of the children, who had been kidnapped from the villages, to sacrifice to the devil. Also the body of the priestess. At least, this was the last thing they could do for them.
"No, " Raine refused."I will go with you."
"Actually, you don't need to see it, we will just bring the remaining of the victim and buried them. After that, we can go. With many people we have, I am sure this will be finished before the sun goes down." Torak reassured Raine."You can stay here with Calleb and Jack."
Torak needed to go inside to see with his own eyes what the demons, who followed Kace had done, maybe there was something he could find out.
"Hope will go inside the cave?" Raine asked. She watched Hope and Kace were talking not too far from them, among the shifters, centaurs, the hunter and people who were preparing to enter the cave.
"She needs to go inside because only she, who knows where the priestess is, " Torak explained to Raine.
"I want to go too." Honestly, Raine didn't really want to go, but she had this feeling again. The feeling that urged her to do something that even she couldn't understand why.
"The scenery inside can be very gruesome for you to handle, " Torak spoke with concern.
"Take her inside." Serefina came and with her usual boring expression, she stared at Raine."Why do you want to go inside? It's not like Torak would let you pick up those children's bones and bury them yourself." And here she was, back with her snarky comment.
Raine was used to the way Serefina talked to her, thus she just shrugged her mocking tone, but Torak narrowed his eyes at the witch dangerously.
"I feel like I need to go inside, " Raine said nervously, as she occasionally glanced at the cave."And I don't know why..."
Serefina nodded."Good. Follow your instinct. Every guardian angel awaken their power differently, maybe this is your call."
Raine glanced at the cave again and then at Hope, who was smiling at her and waved her hand.
"I thought you already on your way to the Kingdom." Torak looked at Serefina.
"I will, after this, " Serefina mumbled, she still looked reluctant to leave. But, when she received Torak's intense gaze, the witch glared at her."Once I know what's bothering Raine I will go to see Jedrek."
"Why Serefina has to go alone there?" Raine asked.
"Because she has a lot of complicated things to fix, " Torak answered.
