"Come here, " Torak said grimly while pulling Raine away from Calleb, he kept the little girl beside him and frowned when he watched Raine was crying."Why are you crying?"
"Nothing, " Raine mumbled as she wiped her tears.
However, Torak wouldn't just believe it."What happened to her?" He glared at his Gamma and Beta.
"I don't know!" Calleb shrieked as he threw his hands up, shaking his head like a rattle drum."I was here with you." Then the Gamma whipped his head toward Raphael."Raph! What you did to her?"
"I didn't do anything, " Raphael said, shaking his head.
"No, Torak... I am all right..." Raine wiped her tears and sniffled."I am just a little bit sensitive."
Torak groaned and dismissed the two of them."Go."
Raphael wrapped his arm around Calleb's neck and half dragged him away."Let's go."
"Bye, Raine!" Calleb was back to his cheerful personality as he waved his hand and winked at her.
This flirtatious action made her giggled, especially when Torak growled and the Gamma ran away as fast as he could.
"My patient with them has no limits, " Torak grunted and shifted his attention toward Raine."Now, tell me what happened?" He cupped her face between his palms. And watched her expression turned sullen as Raine told him what Raphael had said earlier.
"It's all right now, he has you as his little sister." Torak caressed Raine's soft hair as his mate sobbed and kissed her temple."You became more sensitive when you are in period..."
Raine widened his eyes in horror her face flushed red in the evening sun.
Ugh!
Of course he knew and now he teased her.

The moment Lilac reached the front yard, she was greeted by horrible scene where many people were being tackled down by beasts, which was twice their size.
"What is your order, Your Majesty? Should we kill them?" Lyrus asked Jedrek.
"No, don't kill them!" Lilac shrieked. Just a moment ago she told them to stop killing those shifters, and now this happened.
However, Lyrus wouldn't take order from Lilac, thus he ignored her thoroughly and looked at Jedrek, waiting for his decision.
"We should have killed them if it was not because there were another important matter came up. This is the right time to do that." Lyrus added when he watched all of the shifter had been handled and were struggling under the beasts that pushed them to the ground.
"No, you have to stop it, " Lilac spoke more firmly now. She glared at Jedrek fiercely.
However, despite what she said in the meeting room and how she strongly objected to Lyrus's suggestion, Jedrek had the last say and he opted to do it anyway.
"Kill them, " Jedrek said without hesitation.
"No!" Lilac was about to stop those beasts from tearing those people apart, but Jedrek held her hands and it was too late for her to do anything when the sound of bones cracking under the pressure of the beasts' powerful jaws rang out, echoing in the cold night air. 𝚏re𝒆𝙬e𝙗novel - 🅽🅽novel
Lilac closed her eyes and turned around, but it was only heightened her other sense as she could feel every blood that drip from their lifeless body, which seeped into the ground and every struggle movement from them before they became still.
When things got quieter, Lilac opened her eyes and turned her head to look at her mate with hostility, even the spark between them was not able to calm her down.
"I feel like I want to kill you now." She grinded her teeth.
And without waiting for Jedrek's respond, she swatted his hand away, which had prevented her from doing anything and stomped her feet away from the gruesome scene, even Lilac could smell enormous amount of blood in the air.
However, there was no guarantee that if Jedrek didn't hold her hand, she could save them, because the incident happened so fast and those beasts' sharp fangs were only inches away from their necks.
Tears of anger sprung in her eyes when she stormed toward the other part of the castle. She felt disappointed toward Jedrek for never listening to her.
"Why do you keep following me!?" Lilac stopped walking abruptly and snapped at the same guard, who had been following her.
"I need to escort you back to your room, my lady." The guard said apprehensively, facing the angry guardian angel was quite frightening. Especially when he witnessed firsthand Lilac's grand entrance a year ago.
"I am not your lady!" Lilac remarked, but then she remembered something."Did you put all the prisoner in the dungeon?"
The guard nodded.
"Bring me there."
==============
Jedrek watched when Lilac walked away from him and gestured for Theo to take the charge in this mess while he went to the dungeon with Lyrus and Eaton.
"Who had done this?" Jedrek asked Eaton, as they went to the east wing, where the dungeon was located.
"We don't know." Eaton frowned."All the guards there were dead and they even didn't have a chance to mind link their fellow friend that they were attacked."
"There was no suspicious scent there, " Lyrus added. His eyes kept flickering, as though he was in daze when he relayed the report that the lycan warrior told him through the mind- link."Or any traces that indicate someone had entered the dungeon by force."
Jedrek listened to that and hastened his pace, but the moment they reached there a sweet scent that he had grown to love, hit his nostril and made him growled deeply.
"Didn't I tell you to go back to your room?!" Jedrek snapped when he watched Lilac's figure at the entrance of the dungeon, she was crouching down in front of one of the dead body with the same guard who was supposed to escort her to her room."What are you doing here?!?"
Lilac just threw Jedrek a look, she was still very upset because of his order earlier, thus she chose to ignore him, the way he ignored her.
