357: THE ANDOORI FAMILY

THE ANDOORI FAMILY

When Romulus introduced Raine as their Luna, all of the people inside the room took another glance at Raine, yet still politely treated her as they treated Torak and murmured their greetings. "Luna."0

This time Raine just nodded formally.

Of course the appearance of Raine right now, is way too different from the image of a Luna that was inside their heads. This wasn't the first time and, seemingly, wouldn't be the last.

With the fluffy white bunny in her arms and her delicate body along with the soft vibrance that emanated from Raine, no wonder if they doubted her as their Luna.

Though they had heard about Raine, but actually this was the first time for them to see her in person.

There was disappointment in the way they gazed at Raine, as they expected someone stronger and bolder as their leader, someone who could match with Torak's strong personality, especially in a moment like this.

Raine had gotten used to the way they stare at her, thus she didn't want to bother herself with their early judgment.

Romulus gave the head chair to Torak and pulled another chair next to him for Raine as they stood beside their respective chairs and only took them when Torak and Raine had sat down.

Raine knew this was an important meeting, but still their imposing auras suffocated her nonetheless.

The white bunny apparently sensed her discomfort and rubbed its fluffy head against Raine's palm that earned a scratch on the back of its ear from her.

The five Alphas and Serefina were sitting on either sides of the rectangular table and waited for Torak to initiate the meeting.

Meanwhile, Calleb was standing right behind Raine and Torak, just like the other Betas or Gammas from the other Alphas, did.

"Alpha, may I know what is happening in Fulbright city?" Alpha Chris asked Torak politely, he looked younger among the Alphas.

"Serefina will explain it to you." Torak nodded at Serefina, who didn't expect this. Her perfect brows furrowed slightly.

When Torak mentioned Serefina's name, there was a wave of murmurs among them.

"You are Serefina? The great witch?" Asked Alpha Chris, looking at Serefina, who was sitting next to him. "The last time I heard about you was when you left the realm."

Needless to say anything about the cause of Serefina's departure from the realm, because all of them knew about Serefina's relationship with Torak's older brother.

This was also another thing that turned Serefina's mood sour. She hated it when irrelevant people started talking about her carelessly.

"Gentlemen, let's focus on the problem at hand." Serefina's voice boomed inside the room as her slender figure stood up with radiance.

Raine was sure, if Serefina were a Lycan, she would be a perfect female Alpha with her assertive personality.

She would be a perfect candidate for a Luna in those Alpha's eyes.

"So, I want to bring some things to your awareness…"

And with that, Serefina began breaking down all the things that had occurred and was happening in the Fulbright city to them.

Her voice and intonation was so clear, the details and the sequence of events that she explained was understandable, so she didn't need to repeat herself.

"So, is it true that our Luna is a guardian angel?" One of the Alphas looked at Raine with an expression that was devoid of any emotion.

"Alpha, is she really your destined mate?" It was so hard for them to believe that they had to bow down to a creature that once they didn't even put in their eyes.

Sure enough, Serefina's face turned unsightly by their questions in the next second, because the only thing that grabbed their attention after her long explanation was this.

Meanwhile, Torak who saw that his own people were disrespecting his mate right before his eyes boldly, suddenly stood up.

This action caused them to swallow any other questions that had reached their tongues.

"She is my destined mate. The mate that was promised by the moon goddess herself!" Torak's fear- instilling voice boomed inside the room, sending shivers down their spines as they lowered their heads submissively. "She is my equal and your Luna!"

It went without saying that the Alphas would treat Raine with respect after this, yet Raine doubted whether they would truly respect her.

And just like that the focus of this meeting reverted back to the steps that they had to take against the devils' plan.

First of all, the Supreme Alpha needed to go back to his own territory, but this would be tricky because, now, Torak is the most wanted person in this country.

Yet, this didn't mean they couldn't do anything about this.

"The plane will be ready tomorrow, Alpha." Alpha Romulus said after he finished speaking to someone over the phone.

Apparently this city didn't have an airport, thus there was no airplane that could be made available. Not to mention, Romulus just got news about Torak.

Torak Donovan's name was everywhere now, it would be too risky if they had a confrontation with humans now.

After that, the discussion continued for another thirty minutes before Torak wrapped it up.

=============== 

Through the window of the car, Raine could see the helicopter, sitting atop of one of the tallest buildings around.

Now, they were going to a safe place to rest for a while before boarding a flight back to red river city.

"Serefina." Raine was sitting on the back seat with Serefina while Torak was driving and Calleb was busy with his laptop. "What if the dwarf knows something about my power that we don't know? Somehow, his words bother me."

Serefina waved her hand nonchalantly while closing her eyes. She looked so tired. "Don't waste your time on thinking about his nonsensical words."

"But, what if?" Raine insisted.

"There is no 'if'." Serefina kicked the seat in front of her and startled Calleb. "Do you trust the dwarf's words?"

Calleb growled at Serefina, but he answered her. "I will not trust him even if he said the world is around."

"Don't think about that." Torak added.

"Hey, the Donovan company is taken over by your friend." Calleb informed them. "Her family is cooperating with de Medici family."

"Who?" Raine asked.

"Sunny, the Andoori family."
