LET'S FIND OUT, SHALL WE?
Torak didn't welcome Lucifer's gesture of inviting him for a drink, the Alpha chose to stand in front of the devil defiantly.2
He looked around and realized that this was probably the place Raine had seen in her dreams. A bar.
Today, the witch from the blue moon pack, whom Raine ordered to be killed, was supposed to meet with the devil if she was still alive.
As it turned out, Torak was the one who came to this place.
Just like what Raine said, the future would alter when something happened in the present.
"Tell me, did he kiss my creature or killed her instantly?" But, after a moment of contemplation, she decided. "I think it's the former."
The witch's voice stung Torak's ears as he shifted his gaze toward the woman with red shawl over her shoulder, as she took a seat next to Lucifer.
"Tell me how do you know that the girl wasn't your mate?" The woman was very curious to know how her masterpiece could be discovered so quickly.
She was confident to say the least that no one could see the difference between her creation and the real one, since she had used the guardian angel's blood.
However, Torak didn't want to waste his breath on explaining such a thing to an insignificant person like her.
Torak shifted his focus back onto the devil. "What do you want?" He asked icily.
"Glory. Pride. Absolute power to rule all the creatures under my feet." Lucifer replied Torak's question with a chuckle, yet there was nothing but truth in his answer.
"How could you achieve your goal by keeping me here?" Torak didn't budge when he heard the malicious chuckle.
"Of course my target... No, our target…" Lucifer corrected himself. "… has been your mate all this time."
"You will not be able to touch her." Torak pushed his words out of his gritted teeth.
"Maybe not now." Lucifer shrugged his shoulders. "But I will be able to do it soon, or should I say we will be able to do it soon?" He muttered the last sentence to himself.
Torak squinted his blue eyes dangerously.
"I wonder why do you still stand there while glowering at me. Knowing you for centuries, you would have pounced on me the moment I mentioned your mate." Lucifer tilted his head, feigned an innocent expression. "But then, I realized that you don't have your spirit beast with you."
This was a trap. Ever since Torak returned from the blue moon pack, he was destined to walk straight into the devils' trap.
Honestly, Torak could also sense it, he was just too absorbed in protecting Raine because of her vision and all of the nonsense history about how to win the battle by sacrificing the guardian angels.
Torak ignored the fact that the devils had started his plan ahead of himself.
Torak's eyes didn't turn into black or red color because the beast in him was too weak to show up.
The devil had arranged all of this and left him with no other choice.
From the visit of the police officers that suddenly went rampant and fired their gun at his people to the deaths of the twenty five police officers along with a respectable figure, Mr. Brian, which ultimately turned Torak into the prime suspect of many crimes.
Apparently, Lucifer had calculated that Torak would use his firebird to kill the creatures from hell that the devils had created.
Lucifer knew a little bit of Serefina little secret about her monthly 'hermitage' that would exhaust herself.
Knowing Torak's overprotectiveness toward his mate and his knowledge that the only thing that could kill those creatures would be his mate's blood, Torak definitely would not allow it.
Thus, the only option was his firebird.
This was a unique bond between the Lycan and the spirit animal, apparently not all the Lycans could posses that spirit beast.
This was an exclusive privilege for the white Lycan. The precious white Lycan.
Until there, everything ran according to Lucifer's plan.
"With or without it, I will not let you touch my mate." Torak stated grimly as his blue eyes dimmed. "You will not find her."
"Are you sure?" Lucifer raised his glass as an offer before he gulped down the liquid. "Do you really think what you have done this past six months to clean up your pack from traitors is a success?" Lucifer chuckled lightly. "There will always be a rat among the wolves."
The supposed to be safe house, apparently wasn't safe enough, if the devil was able to sneak his pawn inside the place and trick Torak with ease.
Torak had realized it too. This was the first thought that flashed his mind when he discovered the woman that he met was just an imposter.
"There will always be people who were greedy enough to seize the power to themselves to be the supreme Alpha. Those people had no qualms when they had to sell even his own soul. The kind of people that were deemed to rot in hell."
Lucifer continued his monologue.
"What do you think will happen to your mate when you are no longer able protect her?" The woman beside Lucifer poured another glass for him with a sickly smile plastered on her black lips.
All this while the respect that those Lycans showed to Raine was because of Torak's presence, thus what would happen to her when she lost her back up?
Not to mention that the traitors were lurking in every dark corner of the pack.
Torak listened to all of Lucifer rumbles without batting an eye. He didn't budge from his place or change his expression. His face was devoid of all emotions. No one would be able to tell what Torak was thinking now.
However, the next line of Lucifer's words were said near Torak's ear as he stood behind the Alpha in lightning speed.
"Let's find out, shall we?" Lucifer asked breathily.
Torak, in his current state, didn't see it coming.
Yet, before the Alpha could respond Lucifer had conjured an intricate dagger from thin air and slashed it across Torak's neck.
The devil beheaded the Alpha.
