371: IT IS NOT A GOOD SIGN

IT IS NOT A GOOD SIGN

There were no tears or whining, there was something different in the way Raine carried herself, she looked more resolute and fearless than ever.2

Raphael stared at Raine's back, this attitude was the thing that he wished she would have one day, to posses the trait of the Luna, just like the way she displayed it now.

Yet when she finally got it, Raphael felt it was quite terrifying, as he personally witnessed how Raine had changed in the short span of two years.

Raine transformed so much under his watch, from a girl who would easily get scared and wouldn't even talk a word to people around her to the girl who was able to kill her own friend and didn't even shed a tear over it.

Raphael knew, this was a difficult decision for her, and it was not that Raine wasn't sad, but she controlled herself very well and knew what she had to prioritize.

Raine no longer needed someone to tell her that the decision she made was not something she could avoid.

Meanwhile, the other Lycans that came with Raphael and Jack saw their Luna in a new light.

They should admit the first impression of Raine wasn't very satisfying. They just couldn't help but to think why a weak creature like guardian angel should be their Luna, they thought it was another curse from the Moon Goddess after she cursed their Alpha mateless.

Yet, they witnessed how their Luna's ability saved them from annihilation in the Blue Moon pack by issuing an order to kill the witch, without batting an eye.

It was also their Luna, who had killed the child who was possessed by the dark magic and now the same thing happened with her friend again and she carried herself with conviction, for she knew the right thing to do.

============== 

"Something happened." Romulus entered the room, where there were about eight Alphas discussing things over with Calleb and Serefina.

The things they were talking about included what they would do once the other Lycans from red river city arrived there.

However, Romulus interruption made all the eyes present in the room to turn toward him.

"What is it?" Alpha Derek from Eclipse pack, was the one who asked him. His dark hazel eyes scrutinized his fellow Alpha intently, not liking to be disturbed while he was talking.

Yet, Alpha Romulus brushed off the irritating gaze of Alpha Derek and fixed his eyes on Calleb. "Are you sure, you have been looking for Alpha Ryan from Blue Moon pack?"

Calleb frowned. What was with that question? "Yes, I have been looking for him." He replied, slightly puzzled. "What's wrong?"

A complicated emotion flashed on Alpha Romulus's face. "Because he is here."

"What do you mean with he is here?" Calleb sniffed the air, an action that was followed by the other Alphas in the next second.

Only then did they realize that there was a weird smell in the air, not just one but a variety of them, as if hundreds of strangers were approaching them.

All the people inside the room were not aware of this because there were a lot of Lycans and Werewolves around them from different packs currently, in order to gather as many as people to find their Supreme Alpha.

Calleb growled as he stormed out of the room.

How dare that trash came to show his face at a time like this!? Calleb still remembered what that woman said, Ryan had forcefully marked her even though she wasn't his mate, and this fact disgusted the Gamma.

Outside of the house, in the front yard, apparently a Lycan guard was about to inform him about Ryan's visit, but saw that Calleb was already aware, as he came walking down the stairs to approach the traitor, who was standing a few meters away from him.

"Gamma Calleb." Ryan greeted Calleb impassively as he nodded out of politeness. The traitor didn't come alone as he brought other trashes with him.

Calleb and the other Alphas that followed behind him spotted Jenedieth and Gary, Ryan's beta.

"Who allowed them to cross the territory!" Calleb roared, it was so rare to see the easy going Gamma being at his wits end.

"I did." Someone answered from the crowd.

All heads whipped toward the source of the voice and found Alpha Ralph stepping out from behind Calleb.

He sauntered the yard and stood next to Alpha Ryan and Jenedieth.

"What is the meaning of all this?" Calleb glowered at the traitors in front of him. Just like what Serefina and he suspected, there was indeed a traitor among them.

Calleb just didn't expect it to be Alpha Ralph from Glory Wind Pack, as he was famous for his loyalty toward Donovan's family.

However, instead of answering Calleb's answering Ryan took that moment to make a devastating announcement.

Ignoring the hostility in the air, he spoke. "YOUR ALPHA IS DEAD!" Ryan's voice thundered in that vast yard, making all the people there able to hear him clearly. "PLEDGE YOUR LOYALTY TO ME AND I WILL SPARE YOUR LIFE!"

This statement invited another round of loud thunderous growls from the Alphas behind Calleb as the beasts that resided inside of them threatened to come out, to wreck some havoc.

Yet, before anyone could make a move that could lead to a gruesome battle, Alpha Ralph stepped forward and Calleb almost clawed his face, if it wasn't for Serefina who held him back.

"Listen to me my dearest fellow Alphas." Alpha Ralph talked in his sickening sweet tone as he opened his arms widely, trying to play the role of a moderator. "Think about this again! Donovan's family had ruled our kind for as long as we could remember!"

It was true, because Donovans were the first Lycanthropes that walked on this solid ground. It was understandable that they were blessed by the moon goddess for many things, yet in the three brothers' cases, they were cursed for their atrocity.

"This is the time to change it!" Ralph's eyes were ablaze with determination in every word that he uttered. "Torak Donovan has grown very weak as he has a guardian angel as his destined mate!"

With the mention of guardian angel, there was a change in the air and Calleb knew that this wasn't a good sign.
