346: WE CAN'T DO THAT

WE CAN'T DO THAT

"I know." Raine replied softly as she resumed staring at a big tree outside the house. "I can feel it, but I don't know if I am ready for this."1

"No one is ready." Serefina said in a light tone, but she clenched her jaw tightly as she spoke again. "I think, you being with the other guardian angels will aid your progress."

Raine tilted her head and looked at Serefina. "You will let me meet them?" she asked expectantly. It would be great to meet the other people who had the same destiny as her.

Serefina nodded. "Yes, but not now. I will let you know when the time is right."

"Alright." Raine nodded and didn't ask any other questions, knowing Serefina for such a long period of time, the witch wouldn't answer so many of her questions at a time.

"I dreamed of Aeon." Raine confessed.

She chose to tell Serefina about this but not to Torak, simply because Raine didn't want to add another unnecessary issue onto Torak's shoulders and she was also unsure if Torak could judge this matter fairly.

"Just a dream?" Serefina thought it was impossible for the shadow warrior to make a contact with Raine, since she had destroyed the diary of Raine's mother.

"I don't think it was just a dream. He warned me." Raine tried to remember it and concluded that wasn't any ordinary dream, because it was so real and she had been in that place for a few times now.

"What did the shadow warrior say?" Serefina squinted her eyes. She didn't know how Aeon was able to make another connection with Raine despite of the fact that he never tried to meet Raine since that incident in the library.

"He warned me not to return here." Raine repeated what Aeon had told her. "He just said that and for some reason I can feel his power is getting weaker… he didn't talk much…" But then she added. "Maybe, it was just my assumption."

There was no way Raine would be able to tell about the strength of someone else power when she wasn't even able to control her own.

"What do you think he wanted to relay?" Raine shifted her gaze toward Serefina, to ask her opinion.

"I don't know." Serefina shrugged, she really didn't have any idea what the shadow warrior wanted to say. She wasn't the one who got warned and she had never talked to him personally to understand his character.

Raine nodded and fixed her eyes on the tree.

Meanwhile, people on line were wreaking havoc.

Something was clearly not normal about this situation, as if someone was controlling those people behind the scenes. It were just like the time when the reporters that had attacked Raine almost two months ago.

Unscrupulous and irrational.

The next day there were about seven police officers who came to find more information about Torak's whereabouts.

"Torak… why did they come here?" Raine frowned when one of the guards informed them that there were police officers who wanted to meet Torak.

For the outside world, Torak was still missing as no one was able to find him or even catch a glimpse of him.

"Someone is behind all of this." Torak concluded.

With Torak's influence, there was no way just some low ranked police officers were dispatched to interrogate Torak and came all the way down to Torak's place.

"Where is Serefina?" Torak asked Calleb, instead of thinking about the police outside, he was looking for the witch.

"What about the police outside?" the guard was a human, he didn't have the same thoughts as Torak and the rest of the people inside the room did.

"Let them be." Torak replied coldly.

"Serefina is inside her room. She specifically said she didn't want to be disturbed for the rest of the day." Calleb informed Torak.

The Gamma found this very weird for Serefina to lock herself inside her room, yet Torak seemed to know something that he didn't and just waved his hand toward the guard to make him leave the room.

Raine, who was sitting on the sofa, walked toward Torak and sat on his lap, looking for a comfortable position.

"What's going on here?" Raine was worried about Torak and the news about him being the perpetrator of the explosion of the library building.

"The devils were controlling the masses." Torak answered Raine's question calmly. Very calm that left Raine restless.

"What does that mean?" Raine looked at Torak, though she asked that out loud, yet deep down she knew it was something bad, really bad.

Raphael, Jack and Calleb looked at each other when Raine asked this. They just realized this as well when Torak mentioned it.

"Centuries ago, the devils had used the masses to attack the Lycanthrope's side before the actual war, creating confusion between all the people and misunderstanding within our supporters." Torak caressed Raine's face. "Just like today."

"We have to leave from here." Raine remembered what Aeon had told her in her dream. Perhaps, this was what he wanted to tell her. "Why don't we go to your pack instead?"

"We can't do that." Torak shook his head, seemingly reluctant to explain about his reason why he couldn't bring them out of this city, though the situation here was not in their favor.

Moreover, wouldn't it be safer if they were in their own territory?

"Why?" Raine couldn't understand why they couldn't move back to Torak's territory. But then, she realized something.

It was the same reason why they were here in the first place and why Torak had to painstakingly establish another company in this area when the headquarter of his company was in the other city, and clearly in his own territory.

"It is because of me, right?" Raine suddenly felt down. "This is because of my condition."

"We will go through this together." Torak assured Raine. "Don't blame yourself."

"But, I feel better now, I am getting stronger and I think I can stand it if we have to go to your territory now." Raine insisted.

Right at that moment, they could hear some commotion from outside of the house.
