"Torak, Serefina..." Raine tried to speak even if her voice was cracked.
Torak immediately took a glass of water and helped Raine to drink by supporting her body, so that she wouldn't choke.
"Drink this first..." Torak said it very softly, he brought the glass to her lips, while Hope swiped away the few strands of her hair from her face."Be careful, slowly..." he reminded Raine, who was drinking the water greedily.
On the other hand, Calleb sighed in relief when he saw that Raine was already awake. He wouldn't feel at ease if she was still unconscious.
The shadow warrior indeed didn't do any harm on him, but it caused him to lost consciousness and let her be in danger. The Gamma wouldn't even mind if Torak punished him now. He deserved to receive it. Fortunately, Torak was busy in taking care of Raine and didn't even have time to lash out at him.
"Torak, Serefina..." Raine tried to speak again, while Torak wiped the remaining water that escaped her lips.
"She is not here, " Torak said. He thought, Raine was in pain and needed to see the witch."Do you feel any pain anywhere?" There was no healer in this castle, Torak didn't know where she was and Kace had tried to find her as well when he looked for Serefina, but he couldn't find anyone. It seemed the only living beings in this entire place was them.
"No, Torak. You will not be able to find her here." Raine said faintly, if Torak didn't have a remarkable hearing ability, he wouldn't have been able to hear her, even Hope had to move closer.
"Why?" Torak asked, while caressing her cheeks, his heart ached to see his mate in pain, again."Do you know where she is?"
"Torak, she is with the devils..." Raine finally said it, her expression cracked, as tears streamed down her cheeks. She was feeling nothing less than devastated.
Serefina had not always been good to her, especially when the first time they met, but to have the witch betrayed them, that thought, had never crossed her mind at all.
No matter how snappy she was and how she lost her temper almost every time they met, or how Serefina fought with Torak, she wouldn't betray them, right?
"What do you mean?" Hope asked, her voice barely a whisper. She must have heard it wrong, right?
"Impossible, " Lana spoke absentmindedly, she shook her head and held on to the edge of the table to support her.
Lana and Hope were still yet to get over the fact that Chiron betrayed them, but to know that Serefina had crossed to the other side was another thing. That was simply impossible.
However, Raine wouldn't tell them a lie.
Even Calleb was flabbergasted, his mouth opened wide, yet not a single word could leave his mouth.
==============
Jedrek walked toward the city gates, which had busted down by the people from outside of the city, they were marching toward the castle, when the king met them.
Actually, there was another disturbing fact that he had seen before he left the castle; someone had blasted the castle gates and all the dead bodies of the guards, who turned out to be in control of the devil when they attacked him, had disappeared without any trace.
Who had done that?
From what he had seen, it seemed someone had tried to enter the castle by force.
However, right at this moment, Jedrek's mind was too occupied with the thought of his missing mate, thus he didn't have time to think about that.
"Where is the centaur named Carina?" the king's voice neither loud nor low, but one could say from his gloomy expression and his dark eyes, that the lycan was livid beyond words.
Behind the lycanthropes from Torak's pack and the hunters that Kace invited, was the centaurs. They looked taller than anyone else present, thanks to their half- horse body.
"Me, " a soft voice replied from the back of the crowd as her soft hooves tapped on the ground when she walked forward.
The people dispersed and gave a way to the female centaur, but the other centaurs murmured to each other, trying to find out what was happening and why Jedrek wanted to see Carina all of a sudden.
They had a very long, not so good history with this king and they were quite tensed when he pointed at one of them.
Meanwhile, behind Jedrek, Kace and Raphael shifted back into their human form when they were close enough to Jedrek, finally catching up to him.
"Jedrek, you promised me..." Kace held Jedrek's shoulder, but before he could finish his sentence, his brother had swatted his hand away from him, very harshly, until Kace tumbled on his feet and this raised the murmuring voices around them.
"Tell me where is Chiron?" Jedrek asked Carina when she stood in front of the crowd, just a few meters away from the king.
If the female centaur was afraid or anxious, she didn't show it on her face, as her expression now was devoid of any emotions.
"What do you want with our chief?" it was Zarrn, who asked Jedrek, as he walked forward and stood beside Carina."We will not give you any information about him if you want to do something bad to him."
From the looks of it, how Jedrek was behaving now, no one would believe that the king wanted to have a civilized discussion with Chiron. Jedrek now looked like someone, who wanted to crush their hearts with his bare hands.
"Bad?" Jedrek jeered."Don't underestimate my intentions."
Zarrn didn't understand what Jedrek meant by that. He looked at Carina, but his fellow centaur only lowered her head and then, he knew something must be totally off.
"What do you mean?" Zarrn asked carefully, but he didn't think he wanted to hear that answer.
"Not only your chief or this female centaur. I will make you all go through painful deaths if you don't tell me where is Chiron now!" Jedrek hissed through his gritted teeth as his eyes turned red.
