366: MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE ANGEL AND THE DEVIL

MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE ANGEL AND THE DEVIL

"How do you think she can be in the Fulbright city?" Calleb asked Serefina, who was sitting across the table.1

Calleb had just informed their pack in red river city to utilize their resources to find information about Torak's whereabouts as much as possible.

Not only that, the packs that were under the seven Alphas who had betrayed Torak before also got a strict rule and once their people from the red river city came, they would go to the fulbright city if they couldn't find the Alpha until then.

This was a serious case, not only because this involved human world, but also the fact that the awakening of the devils was drawing near.

Serefina didn't answer him immediately, but her lime green eyes were fixed on the closed door as if she was deep in thought.

"Whatever happened to Raine is not the same thing that had happened to Torak." Calleb grew frustrated.

He came to this conclusion because if it was the devil's doing, then Raine wouldn't be able to contact him so easily.

"Forget about the disappearance of Raine for a while. Don't you think something is weird?" Serefina spoke as if she was daydreaming, her eyes were still glued to the closed door.

"What do you find weird in this?" Calleb frowned, his eyes traced the same spot where Serefina had been looking at, yet he couldn't spot anything strange.

"We have just talked about the traitors among Torak's pack." Serefina shifted her gaze on to Calleb's face. "What if there is one here as well?"

Calleb's frown deepened. "Among the Alphas who are helping with the search?"

"We can't rule out the possibility." Serefina voiced out her own thought. "Instead of fussing over Raine's disappearance, why don't you worry that something will happen here since they got rid of Torak."

"What's your guess?" Calleb leaned over to Serefina.

"They will start to make their move." Serefina then added. "Soon."

============== 

Raine was having her dinner on her own as she tried to figure out how to preserve the tiny life on her palm.

The bird's condition didn't get worse, yet it didn't get any better either.

Is Torak in danger? How is he now? Raine couldn't help but became more and more nervous as the time passed.

"What should I do to help you little one…" Raine nudged the little bird as she tried to feed it, but it didn't seem to like human's food and she didn't know what it could stomach, thus Raine just chose to give it water, drop by drop.

Not long after that, it came just like how Raine had predicted, yet only sooner. A phone call from Sunny.

Her phone rang a few times before Raine picked up her call.

"Yes?" Raine's voice turned rigid as she looked at the time; eight o'clock sharp.

"Raine…" Sunny called her name breathily. "Where are you?"

"Do you know where is Torak?" Raine didn't want to waste any more time as she glanced at the tiny life in her hand.

"Yes, yes…" Sunny answered readily.

Raine raised an eyebrow. Were the devils not suspicious at all? They easily got fooled, just like that?

Raine expected that Sunny wouldn't be so blatant to tell her directly that she had found Torak, Raine thought Sunny would give her some clues, which would then guide her toward Torak's exact location. And, not a direct confession like this.

Yet, since Sunny said that she knew, thus Raine would take every opportunity to find her mate.

"Can you come to the address that I'll send to you?" Sunny asked again, her voice sounded softer than normal.

"Sure." A fleeting complicated emotion flashed in her eyes before Raine resumed her composure and calmly asked. "Will you come with me as well?"

"Yes, I will meet you there." Sunny then hang up the phone.

Raine had just put her phone down when it beeped again, a notification indicating that she just received a message. The text was simple, with only a few lines of aforementioned address.

The only reason why Raine didn't ask anything back was she knew what would be waiting for her the moment she reached this address.

And just like her, the other party also knew the phone call between Raine and Sunny was only pretense to relay the message to them.

Raine's intention was clear; she wanted to know where Torak was.

And this was how the devil replied to her.

Raine placed her palms against her thumping heart as she closed her eyes. It was a lie if she said she wasn't afraid, of course she was, yet she knew this wasn't the right time to let her fear conquer herself.

'Everything will be all right.' Raine chanted to herself.

The moment she opened her eyes, there was determination in those beautiful dark eyes, as dark as the bleak night.

Raine picked up her phone and made a call as the other party picked it up on the second ring.

"Raph. I just got the address." Raine said rigidly.

============== 

Raine walked under the shadows of tall buildings and densely canopied trees. The only source of light below this gloomy night was the lamp posts along the street that led her to a three- story building.

She readjusted her jacket and made sure that her face was covered under her hoodie properly as she walked down the path.

"Raine." Sunny waved her hand when she saw Raine and ran toward her.

Sunny was wearing a body- hugging blouse and jeans, she looked paler without her make up as her hair was tied into a messy bun on top of her head.

"I miss you." Sunny hugged Raine a little bit tighter before Raine reciprocated it casually.

"I miss you too." Raine just imitated her friend.

"Ehm, I saw… Torak Donovan… mh, I meant…" she fidgeted as she talked, avoiding Raine's eyes, trying to find the right reason or excuse to explain herself. "Someone told me that…"

"I know, let's get there." Raine spared her the explanation, as she didn't need someone to tell lies and waste her time.

Every second was important for Raine and nothing needed to be explained when the situation had already reached this point.

"Oh, yes… right. let's go." Sunny stammered as she led the way reluctantly.
