78: SHE CAN'T STAY WITH YOU

SHE CAN'T STAY WITH YOU

A beautiful woman in white appeared from the direction of the door.0

She was wearing white windbreaker and shawl around her neck, the clanking sound of her high heels were the prominent sounds inside the silence ward. 

Her short red hair was tied neatly under her nape and the perfume that she used wafted the Lycans' nose as they furrowed their eyebrows.

"What's with that look?" The woman glared at those people inside the room, and didn't like their exaggerated reaction.

Calleb rushed towards the woman in alertness. "How did you get here?" He snapped at her.

There were guards outside the door, but how could she saunter into the ward easily? Where were all those guards?

"Take it easy…" That woman folded her arms in front of her chest, she tilted her head while giving him a lopsided smile. "Surprise that I can enter this room easily?" 

"Who are you?!" Calleb didn't like that woman's attitude, and the way her eyes gleamed like she was hiding something. 

"Step back Cal."Torak's deep voice rang out, he didn't make any effort to stop his Gamma by himself, despite that, Calleb obeyed him nonetheless. 

"What? Do you want to chase me out after your Alpha's great effort to find me?" That woman smiled smugly, she glanced at Torak, who still couldn't take his eyes off of his mate. 

"It's okay Cal, she is Serefina." Raphael walked towards both of them along with Belinda.

Calleb raised his eyebrows in surprise. "The witch!?"

"Is there a problem with that?" Serefina untied her shawl and put it on the nearest drawer, her lime green eyes glided from Calleb to the girl on the bed, her body connected with the beeping machine beside her. 

"Nope. Not at all." Calleb raised his hand in the air, lost his defensive stance. "Only… you look younger than I thought."

Serefina rolled her eyes, and didn't bother to answer him.

She did look younger than her age.Knowing she had lived for centuries, she looked like a woman in her early-twenties, however she was a witch after all. Witches could maintain their appearance easily, deceiving people, as long as they had the sufficient power to do that. 

"Let's assume she used up all of her energy to preserve her appearance." Belinda chimed in, looking at Serefina scornfully.

"Oh, hi my little sister!" Serefina feigned her surprise when she heard her mockery. "It's been awhile."

"Don't 'hi' me!" Belinda scoffed.

Serefina was Belinda's older sister from a different father. Meanwhile, Serefina was way more powerful than Belinda because of the fact that her father was also a witch, when Belinda wasn't able to grasp the magic like Serefina did due to her father being a Lycan. 

Moreover, Serefina was the last pure bloodline from her witch father.

"Do you come willingly or is it because James found you?" Raphael swiftly took their attention before both sisters got into a quarrel. 

"James? Your hunter? You should send someone to pick him up in the northern forest, I am afraid he will get in trouble there." Serefina said nonchalantly. "What on earth was on your mind when you decided on sending him to fetch me over? Do you think you can catch me by sending that pathetic Lycan hunter?"

"What did you do to him?" Calleb asked curiously, based on his encounter with Belinda, no one would end up in a good shape if they managed to get on a witch's bad side. 

"Nothing." Serefina shrugged her shoulder. 

However, nothing meant everything. They should start to worry about their fellow Lycan by now.

"Leave." Torak grunted, irritated with their exchange. 

Upon hearing the impatience in Torak's voice, Raphael then ushered Calleb and Belinda out of the ward while mumbling to the Gamma. "We need to send someone to fetch James…"

After the soft clicked sound of the door that indicated it was only the three of them inside the room, Torak lifted his head and stared impassively at Serefina, who made her way to sit on the edge of the bed, opposite him.

He let out a low growl at the witch when she touched Raine's hand.

"Don't growl at me." Serefina scolded him, didn't show even slightest fear when she grabbed Raine's hand in hers. "You are the one who was looking for me."

"I am looking for you for another matter, not this." Torak kept his eyes at Raine's hands that were grasped on Serefina's, ready to lunge onto her if she made a suspicious gesture.

"It is her." Serefina said, her lime green eyes glimmered slightly. 

Since Torak sent his hunter to look for her, she knew that he had found his mate, the Guardian Angel. Just like what the prophecy said.

Selene truly sent those Lycans their other half. 

However, Serefina still couldn't imagine how a Guardian Angel was resurrected into a human form? It didn't make any sense for her. 

Humans were other different creatures that didn't belong to their realm and it made things more complicated. 

"Belphegor had made a move." When Torak was sure Serefina didn't do anything that could harm Raine, he averted his eyes on his mate's face, she was still unconscious, but her lips didn't look as purplish as before. "And also Lilith and her horde." He added.

Lilith and her horde was the succubus that had infiltrated his dungeon before. 

Serefina clicked her tongue in annoyance the moment she heard Lilith's name being mentioned as if she had a bad experience with that evil woman.

"Because the Guardian Angels have resurrected into this realm again, they are becoming more aggressive I guess." Serefina kept holding Raine's hand until a faint red tinge appeared on her face as her purplish lips turned pale.

Only when Torak watched Raine's slightly better, he could heave a sigh of relief, at least she looked better than these past two days. 

"What happened to her?" Torak gazed at Serefina.

The witch didn't answer him immediately, but the frown on her face indicating her answer wouldn't be pleasant to be heard. 

"It's complicated." Serefina said after a long silence. She put down Raine's hand and faced Torak with her solemn expression. "You can't keep her with you."
