I am a wolf and she, my moon.
-Anonymous-
**************
The sky was still dark, but the rain had stop.
By the time they were out of the orphanage, two black cars had been waiting for them at the entrance gate.
Anne insisted to accompany them while Mrs. Lang chose to continue her good night sleep.
The night wind was so cold, but it seemed didn't have any effect on Torak and Raphael, while Calleb had shifted into his wolf form and had long gone.
The hallway was slippery by the splashed of rain and Raine almost tripped couples of time, fortunately, Torak was nimble enough to catch her.
"Raine, you have to watch your behavior and don't give Mr. Donovan a hard time." Anne warned her sternly, she was getting use to threatening her ever since the first time she arrived."You have to know yourself and don't bring ashamed on Mr. Donovan. Understood?"
Raine kept staring the slippery floor beneath her, careful to not trip again, she had gotten used with the way Anne talked to her as well, so she didn't pay much attention to what she said when she nodded.
"She could do whatever she wanted. Even if she wanted to tear this place down, I don't have any objection. She just needs to say it." Torak said icily. He sneaked his hand around her waist to help her walked steadily.
On the other side, Anne laughed wryly when she heard Torak's statement, she thought it was just a very bold jokes. Thing that she didn't know was, Torak meant his every words.
When they were a hundred meter away from the entrance gate, they saw Calleb in his human form approaching them. In his hand he brought a blanket and a leather jacket.
"Sir, " Calleb stopped right in front of Torak and handed a blanket that Torak wrapped it around Raine's body before he wore the leather jacket to cover his wet clothes.
Raine whipped her head and looked at him in surprise that Torak thought very adorable, he secured the blanket on her body before he picked her up and carried her bridal style toward the cars that had been waiting for them.
Calleb grimaced when he saw Anne's face fell the moment she watched the way Torak treated Raine.
A Multibillionaire CEO was carrying an ex-patient from mental hospital? Who would believe this? But, this happened for real!
Raphael and Calleb left the dumbfounded Anne, they didn't say anything when both of them took their leave.
Being wrapped like a hotdog, Raine couldn't free herself, she looked at him with a questioning look that he understood immediately."The floor is wet, I don't want you to get hurt."
Raine couldn't help but bit her lips, despite the wonderful sensation of the spark, she still felt a little bit uncomfortable with their proximity. After all, no one had ever got so close to her and hold her so considerately like the way he did in these past years.
Carefully Torak put her down inside the black SUV that had been waiting for them, he put her in the passenger seat and pulled a strap across her chest, buckled her seatbelt.
After that he walked around the front car and took a seat behind the wheel. The rest of people who came for them took another car including Raphael and Calleb.
This was the first time for Raine to leave the orphanage since she arrived there. So, she was anxious.
Raine had seen how calleb transformed from a big grey wolf into human form. These people weren't like any normal human, or they were not even human.
She glanced at Torak beside her who started back the car out of the driveway.
Is he the same like Calleb? Could he turn into a wolf? Will he hurt me? Many questions roamed her head. Without she realized, she had been staring at him.
Torak caught Raine's curious eyes, but she hastily retracted her gaze and lowered her head, hiding her face between her silky hairs before she pulled the hoodie on her sweatshirt over her head, completely concealed herself.
Raine rarely looked at other people in the eyes as she afraid by the way those people judge her and the condescending in their gaze.
She clutched the blanket around her and hoped Torak didn't notice her presence. Unfortunately, the only existence that he cared was her.
He stopped the car.
The clutched on the blanket tightened as Raine wonder if she did something wrong. She could feel it when Torak reached out his hand at her.
Will he hit me? Raine shivered with that thought.
Torak pulled back the hoodie off her head and gently tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Don't." He said firmly, "I want to see you, don't hide yourself..."
