348: TOO MANY PEOPLE THAN NECESSARY

TOO MANY PEOPLE THAN NECESSARY

"Torak, you said it yourself that we are in this together, so why don't you never ask for my opinion? Isn't my safety what became an issue here?" Raine stared at Torak as she cupped his face with her palms. "I am different now, I am stronger than I was months ago, when we met for the first time. I know that I can handle this." She tried to assure him again and again.1

At first, Torak didn't budge and stared at Raine with his ocean blue eyes as his lips were clamped shut tightly.

Raine knew Torak was just being impulsive now. Somehow, he just became more paranoid about her safety, but this wasn't the right time for any of that.

Raine had seen so many people die already, in reality or in her visions that haven't happened yet, that was why, if she could she would do everything in her power to avoid that from happening and Torak acting impulsively was not helping her in any way.

"Please, Torak…" Raine pleaded. It was rare to hear that she really wanted something. "I don't want them to die because of me."

In the end, Torak hugged his mate and buried his face in the crook of her shoulder, relishing the intoxicated scent of her as he murmured to Raphael.

"We will leave at dawn." Torak said.

"Yes, Alpha." Raphael went out of the room, giving some privacy for Raine and Torak.

The Beta was so glad that Raine managed to convince Torak as it wasn't an easy feat to make the Alpha change his decision, and he was also very proud that Raine had grown so stronger, not only physically but also mentally.

Raine balanced Torak's stubbornness and impulsiveness to make a decision out of his own preference, and helped the Alpha in following the right track.

"I don't know what I will do if something happened to you." Torak caressed Raine's face tenderly.

He knew he had taken things too far and made a decision carelessly, but all he wanted was for his mate to be safe.

"Nothing will happen to me." Raine took both of his hands and pressed them on the sides of her face as she added. "Because you will always protect me, right?" she smiled so beautifully that made all the words leave Torak.

Things were happening so fast and Torak doubted himself if he had prepared everything? If he was ready? If his preparations were enough?

Torak didn't want to miss anything, as he didn't want to give any chances for his enemies to have an upper hand.

"Right."Torak replied curtly and kissed her nose. He put her down and grabbed her hand to walk out of the room.

In front of Torak's study room, Raine stared out through the big window, from where she was able to observe the situation out there. So many lycans and guards were guarding the place.

The situation had escalated to this point in just a few hours after they have arrived.

Raine remembered that a few days back she was still attending her classes, talking to her friends and even going shopping with them.

Those memories were like from something that happened years ago, despite of the fact that it had only been a week.

Now, Raine didn't know if she could still meet Sunny and the others again, she wasn't even sure if she could come back to this city after whatever was happening or what would happen later.

However, Raine couldn't help but wonder about the vision she had a week ago.

If she wouldn't be able to meet Sunny again, why had she got that vision? That didn't make any sense, but when Raine thought about it again, she didn't see Sunny in her vision. It was only her.

Raine assumed it would happen to Sunny just because she got that vision after touching her, but what if she interpreted it wrongly?

If she were indeed wrong, then what was the real meaning of it? Even Serefina couldn't help her with this and thinking about this only dizzied her head further.

Torak took Raine inside their room and called Calleb over through mind link.

The Gamma came right away and entered the spacious room within seconds after he had been called. He knew what Torak needed him for, so he walked inside and stood beside Raine. "I think Mr. Brian will arrive in fifteen minutes." He informed Torak.

"Hm." Torak nodded in understanding. "I will take care of him." He said.

Calleb nodded, whether Mr. Brian was coming here as a friend or not, they were prepared for everything and would leave once Serefina was done with whatever she was busy with inside her room.

That witch was so weird, she needed a day in every month to be alone and wouldn't allow anyone to disturb her or even come near her room.

"Stay here with Calleb, okay? I will be back soon." Torak tousled her hair and left the room.

Shortly after Torak left them, Raine pulled out her backpack and started gathering everything that she thought she would need, to pack them inside the bag.

"Raine, can't you see what will happen?" Calleb sat on the edge of the bed and followed Raine's movements with his eyes.

They would leave this place and the company just like that, if it was somebody else, they would go crazy to leave such a huge company and vast properties behind, those things were worth not only immense money but also luck.

"I can't." Raine said curtly as she busied herself with her bag. "I still can't control my power yet. It is something like I couldn't grasp."

"Didn't Serefina help you?" Calleb asked again.

"I have told her about my situation, but I don't think she could help much as she is also confused." Raine explained.

When Raine and Calleb were busy with their own conversation, they heard some noises from outside of the room, it seemed that a few people had come and Torak invited them in.

"Who is that?" Raine frowned at Calleb as she heard a lot of people talking loudly. "Why is it so crowded in the first floor?"

"Mr. Brian came with his people." Calleb told her, but he couldn't hide his displeasure.

"Why?" Raine walked closer toward Calleb and sat down beside him.

Calleb shrugged before saying, "There are too many people than necessary down there."
