Raine walked forward, toward where the battle was happening, but the white beast beside her kept following her and trying to make her stay away from the chaotic situation.
Somehow, even though their size and color were almost same, but Raine could still sense that it wasn't Torak. She just knew that it was Kace and thought that he was trying to protect her because Torak was quite far from them.
Her mate was almost in the middle of a bloody battle with the succubus and incubus creatures and Kace took his brother's place to protect Raine.
Because, oddly, he could sense the connection between him and her, as if Raine was Hope. It was strange indeed, but the feeling seemed very real, yet he didn't feel it again now.
"Kace, I need to go close to the center of the battle, " Raine said in a low voice. She needed to be in the right position so she could maximize the affect of her strength she would release later.
Because timing was very crucial for her next set of actions which would be greatly affected by her position and she didn't want to waste the first chance as she didn't want to try for a second time just because the first attempt was failed.
They were running out of time and each and every passing second they saved could help them save some more creatures on their side.
First, Kace didn't agree with that, he shook his head and again tore the succubus who dared to approach them.
But, when Kace got back to her side, Raine put her hand behind the white beast's head and rubbed it lightly, giving a feeling of relaxation amidst the tension.
"I need you and Torak to be in the heart of the battle. We have to stop this and I need both of you to do it." Raine couldn't see where Jedrek was. Therefore she asked Kace and Torak to be by her side, after all, their presence was enough to help her.
Jedrek might be on the other side of the battlefield and as said earlier, Raine didn't have much time to look for him. Time was very essential for them now.
The white beast beside Raine then nudged the guardian angel's side and she immediately knew what he meant, so with alacrity, Raine immediately climbed onto the beast's back.
The white beast swiftly brought Raine to the heart of the war and approached the other white beast, which was none other than Torak.
When the white beast saw Raine, he didn't immediately approach her but looked at her seriously, before he finally nuzzled her legs and Raine got off Kace's back.
For a moment, the white beast didn't do anything, except stare at the guardian angel standing in front of him, because even though she looked like Raine, the beast remembered the strange feeling he felt when he saw Raine for the first time during the battle.
However, this time was different. When the beast nudged Raine's hand, he could feel the same spark he felt when he was with his mate and when the guardian angel put her hands on his head and traced the sticky strands of the white beast's fur that had been coated with blood and dirt, staining Raine's hand, the feeling of familiarity intensified in him.
And that was when the white beast was sure that this was his mate.
This is Raine.
Who knew who had entered Raine's body earlier that made Torak feel that she was not his, but this time, he firmly believed that this was her. It was Raine.
Raine then stretched out her hands and embraced the white beast who immediately let out a low whimper. As if to say that he missed her.
Torak smelled Raine's signature scent, the scent he really liked and took liberty to breath in her. The scent of his mate's body really made his beast feel calmer.
"I miss you too..." Raine said quietly, as if answering what was on Torak's mind. The unspoken words of the Alpha.
They stayed like that for a while, ignoring their surroundings and letting out the longing between the two of them.
While Raine and Torak were busy having their little reunion for a while, Kace, the magicians and the rest of the supernatural creatures tried to keep them both safe.
[Can you make it quick, please?] Kace used mind-link to communicate with Torak. [I didn't mean to interfere, but just wanted to remind you that we are in the middle of a battle and it seems like I could appreciate a little help over here. ]
And after hearing that, Torak distanced himself from Raine and the guardian angel now climbed onto the back of the white beast. Her mate.
"Take me there..." Raine said while pointing to the center of the battle where most of the succubus and incubus creatures had been crowded.
This was a dangerous thing to do, but Torak trusted Raine, he trusted his mate that she had a better plan and chose not to question her decision. 𝚏𝘳ee𝘸𝑒𝙗𝘯ov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
There was only one thing he had to do, protect the guardian angel and that was his job now.
Together with Kace and the few remaining shifters and magicians, they charged forward, toward the place Raine had mentioned to Torak earlier.
==============
Hope wiped her face which was wet with tears. The news of Ian's death alone had made Hope feel devastated and the fact that she didn't even have time to mourn him was already heart curdling, but now she got to know that Rossie was gone too?
Hope remembered very well the last time she saw Rossie. It was the time when she went out with Kace, Torak and Raine from Jedrek castle.
There, she saw Rossie with her two twins brothers and Hope still remember smiling ear to ear while joking with Ian and Ethan.
And how Sophia looked beautiful when she was scolding her kids or how she scolded Sterling because her husband was so strict with their daughter who just found her mate.
And those were the last happy memories Hope had of the happy little family.
However, she had things to do now."Lidya, we have to go now, " Hope said in a hoarse voice after crying her heart out."Take me there."
