AN IMPULSIVE DECISION
At first, Raine couldn't hear it because her hearing ability was not as advanced as the other Lycans inside the room.0
However, the commotion only lasted for a few minutes before one of the Lycans who was stationed to safeguard the place knocked on the door to report what was happening outside of the house to Torak.
"The seven police officers started open firing, so we were left with no other choice but to retaliate." The Lycan informed Torak. "Some of our guards, humans, were killed."
Torak glanced over at Raphael and the Beta went out of the room as he called for someone. As for Calleb, he took the Lycan guard and went out of the room to check on the situation outside.
"We have to leave now, Torak." Raine emphasized every syllable of her words, indicating the urgency of their situation.
Torak had always been very protective toward Raine, but if he had to take the brunt just because of her, of course Raine wouldn't allow it.
It was not only about her, but also about those who followed their Alpha faithfully. They were not insignificant people, though they would willingly put their lives on the line to make sure of their leaders' safety, Raine would choose to not bet on their lives for her own sake.
"We are not going anywhere until I am sure that you are safe." Torak said toRaine sternly.
Torak would be very stubborn if something concerned Raine, especially lately, his over protectiveness has reached the point where he even became paranoid.
On the other hand, Raine understood very well that Torak only meant good for her, yet he had neglected the safety of his own people for her sake and Raine thought this was so wrong.
"Torak…" Raine softened her tone and kissed his forehead tenderly. "I am stronger now, stronger than I was two months ago, or the day before yesterday. I can feel my power, despite I still don't know how to control it yet, but I am sure I will figure this out soon."
Torak didn't want to relent and hugged Raine instead. "We will ask this Serefina first." He resolved with that conclusion.
No matter how annoyed Torak felt toward Serefina, he still needed her regarding Raine's condition and Raine could only agree with Torak this time as she didn't want to have any unnecessary argumentation with him.
Afterward, Raphael walked into the room and informed Torak about their current situation.
"I have called Mr. Brian about this matter and he said no one from the police department gave an order to those police officers to come to our residence." Raphael furrowed his brows. "He will come personally to check the situation here."
Mr. Brian was a respected figure in police department, for him to come personally to check on the situation here, was slightly fishy for Torak.
Despite the fact Torak was also a respected figure in business world, yet he wasn't too close to Mr. Brian. They only met several times in some occasions.
For Torak to have Mr. Brian's contact was normal, but what wasn't normal was for him to come instead of sending his people.
"For the seven police officers to go rampant before daring enough to open fire at us… I feel like all of this has been planned." Not only Torak, even Raphael also thought the same thing.
Raine followed their discussion silently as she held back her own opinions. What Aeon said was true, something was indeed going on in this Fulbright city…
Those people… those people were behaving like they have been possessed by something. They turned barbaric and inhumane.
This situation reminded Raine a lot about what happened to her when those reporters tried to burn the car, which she and the other two Lycans had boarded, or with the little child, Jade.
If their current situation was as such while only Raine could countermand the dark magic by killing the boy, then it meant, she had to kill a lot of people in order to be safe.
The problem wouldn't stop there…
How much blood would she need to finish them all?
"Torak, we need to leave from here." Raine said hastily. She felt unease about this whole situation.
From the beginning, the Fulbright city was Andromalius's territory, one of the devils, if it was not for Torak's immense power and resources in the human's world, he wouldn't be able to stand in this place for such a long period of time.
"Call more people to come to this city." Torak had the same thoughts as well.
And Raine's safety was his sole concern, but at the same time he neglected the safety of his own people. He didn't care so much if he has to lose his people as long as Raine was safe and sound.
Yet, Raphael, who could guess what was in Torak's mind and what he was planning, couldn't agree to that.
Even though Raphael knew Raine's safety couldn't be taken lightly, but Torak's decision now wasn't a decision that an Alpha should take, he acted as Raine's mate but forgot that he was also an Alpha to those people.
Raphael should remind him about this, but Raine beat him to it.
"No!" Raine's voice was firm and strong. She rejected Torak's order directly. "If you call them to come in this type of situation, they will die."
Torak wanted to talk something, but Raine didn't give him a chance to do so, she looked at him right in the eyes, yet Torak felt like she was looking through his agitated soul and understood his uneasiness.
"I am stronger now. I can handle it." Raine spoke softly to Torak, wanting him to understand her stand point. "We can't keep up with this situation for a long time. If those Lycans come, they will only die in vain and I don't want it. You know that I don't want it."
Torak didn't speak for a long time and only fixed his eyes on hers.
"Please Torak, we need to leave this place Immediately." Raine was being rational when Torak was being impulsive to make a decision.
