352: LEAVING THAT PLACE

LEAVING THAT PLACE

The scene before Raine's eyes reminded her what happened to the library building when it collapsed to the ground. It was the same.0

So, as it turned out, Torak really had a hand in it, the news about him as the perpetrator behind the collapse of the library building wasn't completely wrong. He indeed had caused hundreds of people's deaths at that time. However, Torak must have his own reasons to do that.

After all, the reason for Torak to go there was because he needed to save Raine in the first place, thus she couldn't blame him or this really wasn't the right time to think about that.

When the debris and dirt had settled, Raine dashed to Torak's side and clutched onto his sleeves. "Torak, what about the others?"

If the house collapsed, crumbling just like that while burning, what about the other Lycans? Wouldn't they die too? But, if that was true, what about Raphael? Torak wouldn't kill his second in command, right?

That didn't sound well for Raine.

"They are all right." As Torak said that, he nodded in a certain direction.

Out of instinct, Raine followed Torak's line of sight and found around thirty Lycans walking out of the debris with fire surrounding their bodies, yet it didn't burn them and even their shirts were left untouched.

They trudged forward, and Raphael was also among them. He looked battered and had a big wound on his neck.

Raine was shocked, yet she was very glad and relieved. They were all fine and so was Raphael.

"Can I trouble you to take care of them?" Torak pushed Raine's loose hair behind her ear lovingly.

Torak did this because he knew, Serefina's method was riskier. Not to mention Serefina just recovered from her monthly 'hermitage', to kill more than twenty creatures like that, how much blood did Raine need to loose?

But, this action that Torak had taken also has its own repercussions.

"Okay." Raine nodded her head fervently as she ran toward Raphael first and tried her best to show her ability.

To let their pack see that their Luna wasn't a damsel in distress, and she could actually do something for their pack. To help them and Torak couldn't be more proud of her.

Calleb also joined Raine to help with whatever he could do, leaving Serefina and Torak alone.

"I don't know that you can use the firebird like that." Serefina looked into the distance, at the collapsed house that was still burning. "It seemed to work, though."

"What are her chances to leave this place?" Torak glanced at Serefina beside him. "Is she strong enough to return to our pack?"

Serefina tilted her head. "She is strong." She said tersely. "Yet, she still doesn't know how to control her power."

"It doesn't matter." Torak shook his head. He was very proud of his current Raine, for other abilities that she has, she could learn to control them over time. "All I need to know if her soul is able to take it if I were to bring her back to our territory now?"

Serefina narrowed her eyes at Raine, who was tending to a Lycan's wounds. "Let's see… after all, she is better now." Just like what Serefina had thought, this place had indeed helped Raine to progress faster.

Torak sighed in relief after he got the witch's assurance. He lifted his hand and the small bird appeared on the tip of his fingers. Its majestic plumage had turned dull as the little thing fell on Torak's palm.

"You will be in trouble if something happened to that thing." Serefina remarked as she glanced at the bird and walked forward to help Raine.

The little bird breathed heavily as it rested on Torak's palm, its red eyes blinked a couple of times before they were closed, leaving the rhythmic rise and fall of its chest the only thing noticeable, the only indication that the firebird was still alive.

It didn't take a long time before a back up to come and help their injured fellow lycans to leave that place after Raine had taken good care of them.

"I am done," Raine informed Torak as she stared at the small bird in his hands. "What is this? Is this the same bird I've seen before?" She nudged its weak body with her finger.

"Yes," Torak answered curtly as he placed the little bird on Raine's palm. "Can you take care of it also?"

Raine shifted her eyes from the bird to Torak's face, his expression didn't say much. The Alpha only smiled warmly at his mate like he usually did.

"Of course." Raine nodded and cradled the bird carefully. "What's your plan? How will we leave this place?"

"Don't worry about that, our car will be here soon." Torak draped a jacket on Raine's shoulder that Calleb had given to him as the sun started to illuminate that place.

"Torak, with this…" Raphael held his neck, the wound had closed, but it still left a scar there, maybe it would disappear with time or it wouldn't. But, that didn't matter. "… they will add another charge on you."

Before, Torak was a suspect of the destruction of the library that killed hundreds of people, because of his pictures when he left the scene were posted online.

However now, Torak wouldn't be able to avoid the indictment with these evidences, he would have nowhere to hide in this City, or maybe in this Country.

Not to mention they were still unsure, how many people from human world that they could trust at this moment.

"It doesn't matter anymore we will leave this place soon." Torak saw a horde of cars that came to pick them up.

Raphael looked at Torak and then understood what his Alpha meant as he nodded. "Alright, I will arrange everything accordingly."

With that said, Raphael walked away to make arrangements, together with Calleb and the other Lycans.

"We will leave now." Torak opened the car door for Raine as he carried Raine's backpack.

Raine turned her body to catch a glimpse of the ruins of their house. It was still burning.

Somehow, Raine felt sad. After all, she had lived in that house for a long time and that house held so many beautiful memories…

"Hm… Let's go." Raine scooted into the car.
