361: THIS IS NOT GOOD

THIS IS NOT GOOD

Raine's eyes were glued to the storm outside the window where the heavy rain had created weird patterns on the surface of the glass.2

It had been a day, since Torak disappeared and no one knew his whereabouts.

That night, after Torak tucked Raine in to bed, they were having a meeting and Torak would occasionally come to the bedroom to check on her.

However, the last time he went to check on her, Torak didn't return for some time until they heard an ear- piercing sound from the back yard. A woman's voice.

At first they thought it was Raine, but seconds latter, they knew it wasn't her voice.

Yet, when they arrived at the backyard, Torak had disappeared, leaving only a dead body of a woman, whose face had been crushed and was hard to recognize.

They knew, it was Torak's doing, but the Alpha was nowhere to be found until they heard another whimper from the direction of Raine's bedroom.

As soon as they reached the said bedroom, they saw her thrashing in her sleep as if she was having a nightmare.

And the first question that came out of her mouth the moment she was woken up made them realize that something must have happened to Torak.

"Still no clue?" Raine asked Calleb, who approached her with a bowl of rice and meat. Raine had not yet had a proper meal since Torak went missing.

"He will be fine." Calleb reassured Raine. "He is not a weak Lycan. He will come back to you as soon as possible."

Raine didn't budge when Calleb gave her the bowl in his hand. "You have to eat something," he tried to coax her.

"I don't have appetite to eat." Raine pulled her legs closer to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, hugging herself.

"You have to." Calleb chose to be stubborn. "You will not get anything if you act this way."

Raine buried her face on her knees. She really couldn't swallow anything.

"Stop that act!" Came an irritating voice that one could easily guess whom it belonged to. "Eat your food or I will shove it down your throat!"

Raine raised her head, annoyed by her overbearing character, but didn't have strength to confront the witch.

"What!?" Serefina sat down on the sofa opposite to her, her line green eyes ablaze with irk. "Do you really think by starving yourself you will get what you want?! Your act doesn't help in this case, you only make people around you worry! Like Torak's disappearance is not enough to give us a headache." Serefina grumbled loudly.

"So, can you use one of your magic tricks to find him since you are a great witch?!" Raine retorted angrily, she had had enough of Serefina's bossy attitude, especially at times like this.

Serefina raised an eyebrow. "You are his mate. Why? Can't your mate bond do something about this?" The witch bit back snidely.

Serefina snarky remarks made Raine stand up and stomp her feet toward her bedroom.

Seeing the quarrel between the two women, Calleb could only sigh helplessly. He hoped Raphael was here, he would know what to do in such a situation.

Calleb then sat down and ate the food inside the bowl that was supposed to be Raine's. "So, do you have any idea what happened to Torak? Or better, where he is now?"

Serefina glowered at the Gamma and closed her eyes. "The body of the girl in the backyard last night had a trace of dark magic, my guess…" Serefina drawled as her mind deluded an opinion. "They used magic to lure Torak out of the house."

"With a girl?" Calleb rolled his eyes. "You know, there is no woman in this world could infatuate the Alpha except his own mate."

Serefina threw Calleb a look that said; idiot. "What if the girl looks like his own mate?"

When Serefina said this, something clicked in Calleb's mind as he started to gain an understanding of this entire situation. "Do you mean…"

"Whatever you think right now." Serefina solidified Calleb's conjecture after she saw he had got a vague understanding.

Their situation didn't get any better after knowing this.

There were around ten Alphas with their own pack members, looking for Torak's whereabouts since the Supreme Alpha had gone missing since last night, yet until this very second no one were able to get their hands on a single piece of satisfying information.

Meanwhile, Raphael, Jack and the other Lycans stayed back in the Fulbright city, they didn't continue to come here because they were also looking for Torak there.

Since dark magic and witches were involved in this chaotic situation, then anything could happen. Like moving Torak to Fulbright city in the matter of a few seconds, didn't seem that impossible to happen either.

There were many unpredictable things that, even, Serefina couldn't pinpoint.

Calleb sighed in frustration when he thought about this.

But, when Serefina and Calleb were deep in thought, they heard rushing footsteps that came from Raine's room direction, not so long, the Luna came while holding something in her hands. Her expression was of an extremely panicked one.

"Serefina, what happened to this?!" Raine's voice laced with fear as she showed the creature in her palms.

"What?" Serefina opened her green lime eyes and gazed at the small thing in Raine's hand.

"The bird's feathers keep falling." Raine's voice was stuck in her throat.

The bird was fine when the last time she saw it. Weak, but fine. However, when Raine checked on it just now, the bird looked like it is at its last breath as its beautiful golden feathers kept falling.

The bird was the one that Torak gave to her and she was told to heal it, yet it didn't heal as fast as Raine wanted, but then Torak said that it was because the bird was a supernatural creature so it would take longer.

Raine didn't know why but she felt very sad when she looked at the weak bird. She was afraid.

Somehow, Raine felt the bird has some connection with Torak. Thus, if the bird was like this, so…

Raine tried to get rid of this thought when she heard Serefina mumble.

"This is not good."
