WHERE DID YOU PUT IT?
"What is happening?" Raine looked at Torak before staring into the far distance, yet Raine could see nothing.2
"They blocked our way." Torak growled.
Though Raine couldn't see what Torak and Serefina had seen, she believed the two of them and that there was some kind of danger in front of them.
With the warning from Raphael and the command from Torak, around ten cars made a U- turn and crossed to another lane.
Their actions caused many cars to stop abruptly and almost created a dreadful car accident, fortunately that thing didn't happen.
"Where should we go?" Calleb drove quickly, amid the other drivers. They didn't have time to say sorry to them.
"Drive toward the south." Torak said grimly. "We need to split up."
Calleb then mind linked the other Lycans to relay Torak's orders, thus after they confirmed their individual destinations, the ten cars that followed Torak's, dispersed and took different exit routes out of the driveway.
There was only one car that was still following them, Raine assumed it was Raphael and Jack's car.
"You will go to the south?" Serefina narrowed her eyes. "What is it? You have an ally there? I thought this city is so far from any other Lycan's territory."
"The southern part is closer to Alpha Romulus's territory, Silver Moon pack. I will inform him to send a back up." Torak said as he pulled out his phone from his pocket.
Calleb sped up and Serefina turned on the radio, somehow she managed to find police radio channel.
Raine was surprised when she heard the police were talking about Torak Donovan and that they had issued an order to shoot him on the spot.
At least, that was Raine's conclusion after hearing that for half an hour, they were searching for Torak Donovan everywhere for his crime, for killing twenty five police officers, and one of them was even a senior and respected figure in the police department.
Not only that, they also charged Torak for another crime. The collapse of the Library building. At first Torak was only a witness in this case, but in the matter of half a day, they had changed Torak's status to a suspect.
Now, Torak was the most wanted person in this city.
Raine furrowed her eyebrows deeply when she heard they were allowed to shot Torak on the spot. "Why did they do that?" She hugged Torak tightly, feeling scared if something bad were to happen to him.
What if they shot him? Would Torak survive? She didn't want to think about that or the other possibilities where Torak would get hurt.
"It's alright Raine, the Alpha will not die by a bullet or two." Calleb looked at Raine through the rear view mirror, trying to calm her down as if he knew about what Raine was thinking.
"Your information doesn't help." Raine said, frowning. Even though Torak wouldn't die, it didn't mean that he wouldn't feel any pain.
Raine hated the very thought of something hurting her mate.
Meanwhile, Torak was talking to Alpha Romulus on the phone. He also heard what Raine's said and could feel her fear about his safety.
He pressed Raine's head against his chest to appease her as Raine snuggled closer to Torak.
"Get off the highway." Torak said to Calleb and the Gamma did as he was told, followed by Raphael behind them.
Both cars got off the highway and used roads in urban areas, avoiding the cops and traffic.
"Is it safe to drive to the southern region? We will pass the Donovan's building." Raine voiced out her concerns. The southern region was near Donovan's building, thus Raine was slightly worried that they have to drive past that area, after all, the police must have been stationed there to investigate that place. "They will recognize Torak's car, right?"
"No. We will change vehicles." Calleb told Raine.
As he said that, he turned left and drove the car to a secluded place. This road was only wide enough for two cars and was canopied with trees on both sides.
Because of that, this desolated road looked creepy which scared Raine a little bit, but then she remembered that the people around her could be scarier than any kind of human.
After that, the car pulled over in front of a house. This house looked well taken care of and has beautiful maple trees on its left and right sides.
The house didn't have a fence but has a beautiful garden that was filled with purple roses. That kind of felt weird yet fascinating for Raine, to see so many rose flowers of this rare color.
Raine secured the little bird in her front pocket, near her chest and hugged her bunny as she carried her bag, but Torak took the bag and let Raine carry the bunny as they got off the car.
Once they were out of the car, an old man came out of the house. He was very short for a man, even Raine was taller than him, his nose was crooked and he had white hair on the back of his head while the top of his head was bald.
The old man approached Torak and bowed his body very deep, almost touching his nose to the ground.
"Alpha…" His voice sounded like someone was sighing and his yellowish teeth could be seen when he raised his head and smiled at Torak and the others. "Oh, there is the great witch, Serefina too, visiting my humble abode."
For some reason the old man politeness made Raine cringe. She stood closer to Torak while hugging her bunny.
"Is that the Luna? The Alpha's destined mate?" His big green eyes stared at Raine intensely. "I have heard about you, Luna… you look so beautiful than what those Lycan actually let out."
Raine smiled awkwardly, but Torak stepped forward, shielding Raine from that man's gaze.
"Have you prepared what I've asked?" Torak talked as he walked closer to that man and Calleb and Raphael came forth to stand in Torak's place.
"Sure, sure Alpha… please come inside." The man opened his arms wide, welcoming his honored guests.
"Stop your pretense and just show us where you have kept it." Serefina was really impatient now.
