Calleb was talking to Rossie over the phone when he realized the time being stopped and there was no answer from the other side of the phone call.
The Beta looked around him and frowned when he noticed that the other people had stopped moving, though it didn't happen for a long time, but the moment he could hear Rossie's voice again, as she talked as if nothing was odd, Calleb was already on his way to Hope's room, where he knew Raine and Torak went to see her.
Apparently something happened to her.
"Sweety, I will call you again, okay?" Calleb spoke after Rossie finished saying her reply.
"What happened?" Rossie asked with worry laced in her voice, but then Calleb chuckled lightly to let her know that nothing bad had happened on his end.
"I will check something and I will call you again, " Calleb said and ended the call after Rossie said 'be careful. '
Just like the Donovans, Calleb was not in the city to fight the creatures from hell, leading the other warriors, but he stayed inside this building like a castle on the top of the hill, since he couldn't fight without his beast, so couldn't Ethan.
The young lycan had been very furious and frustrated because he wanted to help in the war, but it would only be a suicide for him if he did so when he couldn't shift into his beast. The least that he could do was help Calleb with his tasks, but right now he was on the other side of this building.
Therefore, it was Jack, the newly pointed Gamma, who led the warriors to fight in the city along with a few Alphas from both Torak and Jedrek's packs. Some of Kace's friends were helping them too.
Calleb hastened his steps when he heard Torak yelling at someone from inside the room. From the sound of it alone, he knew that something must have happened to Raine. 𝚏𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘄𝑒𝗯𝗻ov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
"What happened?!" Calleb opened the door, no, he almost toppled it down when he walked inside the room and found that Raine had fell unconscious with a panicking Torak holding her close to him.
The white beast shifted back and Kace ran toward Torak with Sybil and Belinda crowding him.
No, not Raine too...
==============
"You know what is that?" Lilac asked, with a worried expression when she finished listening to Hope's explanation about Raine's strange dark aura, which was almost the same like what she saw around the people in the city.
"No, " Hope said sadly."I don't know what possessed her, but I am afraid she might turn into something like those people."
Lilac gritted her teeth, though Raine didn't show any indication that she would go feral and out of her mind like those people, but it was clear to see that she acted out of her character during the quarrel between Torak and Kace a week ago.
"We need to find the dwarf, " Lilac stated in a murmuring tone, she was worried about Raine. The heaping number of problems on their plates were already enough, no need to add one more to it."In order to do so, I think we should wake up, right?" She looked at Hope with curious eyes."You can bring us back, right?"
Hope smiled cheekily."I think I have another way which was much easier, " she said in a secretive tone."After all, I want to let our mates feel a little bit more anxious, what do you think?"
Hope was always full of tricks and she loved how Kace would turn everything upside down worrying over her, she liked it when she got all his attention, though it was not the time for something childish like that, but she could pass it off as a 'punishment' because they had done something atrocious and whatever they pleased without talking to them.
Lilac laughed alongside with her, it was not that she wanted to give Jedrek a heart attack because she fell unconscious all of a sudden.
Well, half of her reason was that, but the main thing was; she wanted to be here for a little bit longer, the warm atmosphere here was very pleasant and was in complete contrary to the dark atmosphere that had hung over them for days by now.
It gave a positive vibe and made her able to think calmly.
But, the most important feeling was; it gave her a new hope to live through this stressful situation.
Kace was very right to name her Hope. She was indeed a hope.
"I like the idea, " Lilac said and let Hope guide them elsewhere.
==============
Raine felt a breeze of wind caressing her face as her hair fluttered freely, she thought she was sleeping inside her room like usual, until the last memory about Serefina flooded her mind causing her to open her eyes abruptly.
The first thing that she saw was a vast land of sands... it seemed like she was in a desert.
"What...?" she abruptly sat down and looked around her, though it was slightly dark and no harsh sun was blazing over her head at this moment, but Raine was sure she had been in this place before.
No, actually this would be her third time being here.
Serefina called this place as the land of the God, but the guardian angels from the past would call this the desert of no return. However, Raine had her own impression of this place, whatever she was here for might be, she could conclude one thing for sure; she had jumped the time again.
"Familiar with this place?"
Raine whipped her head upon hearing her voice and just like what she had guessed, it was the witch, who was talking to her.
"You?" Raine squinted her eyes when she watched Serefina, who was standing not too far from her, folding her arms arrogantly.
It was so strange that Raine didn't feel irritated by her behavior, instead she was absorbed with the thought when they met for the first time. Serefina didn't change at all; her snarky comments and her harsh attitude, but for some strange reasons, Raine missed those days.
It looked more peaceful than what they had to face now.
