HER FAVOR
"Jenedieth, we meet again." Raine strolled toward Calleb's grey wolf and stood next to Serefina, as she stared down at Jenedieth, who was still sitting on the ground. "It's been a long time since the last time I saw you."0
Jenedieth glowered at Raine, as she tried to stand up with dignity. "Yes, the last time I saw you, you are not talking this much," She said snidely.
But, Raine didn't bother too much about her remark and nodded in agreement. "Thankfully, I have changed quite a bit."
Actually, even Serefina and all the Alphas there, along with the other people had noticed there was something different in the way Raine carried herself.
It was only mere few days since her mysterious disappearance, but the aura around her felt more complicated and assertive.
"I remember clearly that Torak had expelled you from his territory, may I know what you are doing here?" Raine asked calmly as if she was talking to her friend about the weather.
Serefina couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, fascinated by Raine's sudden change of attitude. She had thought her to act this way since the first time they met and only now Raine started living up to her expectations.
Serefina was eager to see how Raine would handle this matter.
"You dare to talk to me arrogantly." Jenedieth gritted her teeth, yet her lips curved into a beautiful sinister smile.
"Why can't I?" Raine tilted her head as she gave Jenedieth an innocent look. "Don't tell me that you are trying to sabotage my position as Luna of this pack."
This was the first time for Raine to claim her position as the Luna of the pack. Her statement not only surprised Serefina and the other Lycans who came with her, but also the Alphas, who would have never thought that a timid creature like a guardian angel, could possibly make a declaration like that.
At the mention of Raine's position as the Luna of the pack, Jenedieth laughed heartily until tears appeared at the corners of her eyes.
Narrowing her eyes, Jenedieth swept a mocking gaze over the rest of the Alphas, who still chose to stand on Torak's side, knowing the Supreme Alpha was no longer alive.
"You will pledge your loyalty to a creature like her?" Jenedieth pointed a sharp nail at Raine's face as a look of disgust appeared on her face. "Not to mention she is one ofthe guardian angels, weak creatures that couldn't even defend themselves during a war, but the fact that she is a human alone, is something that you can't ignore." Jenedieth spoke provokingly.
The impression of the guardian angels being weak had long been etched into these Lycans' heads for centuries, thus it was also the same impression that they formed when they knew Raine was also the one and the same.
This fact also increased the Alphas dissatisfaction with the Torak's decision.
Because of Jenedieth and Torak closeness in the past, they used to see Jenedieth as their soon- to- be Luna, because no one else met the criteria and expectations of the Alphas about their supreme Luna, except for Jenedieth.
But, the situation was different now, Jenedieth was just someone who had been expelled from the pack and Raine was the destined mate of their Alpha.
"The fact that I am the Luna of the pack, is something that you shouldn't ignore." Raine corrected Jenedieth's statement.
"Or what?" Jenedieth asked haughtily. By this moment, Calleb and Alpha Ryan had turned into their human forms and stood opposite to each other.
"Or, I will punish those who defied me." Raine's voice was like a summer breeze, very light and warm, but the way Raine looked at Jenedieth when she said those few words, was a sight to behold.
Raine's dark, beautiful eyes sparkled with determination as though she meant every single word she just said, or maybe she indeed meant it.
"Since you are already here and violated my territory, I will not let you go so easily this time." Raine declared.
"What do you think you can do to me, huh?" Jenedieth raised her chin arrogantly as she stepped back to show Raine that she had brought her own people to take care of this situation.
Actually, half of the people that stood behind her were Alpha Brian, Alpha Ralph and Alpha Danny's pack members.
Jenedieth and Ryan's intention to come over was very clear; to announce the death of Torak Donovan and seize the opportunity to self- claim as the new rulers of hundreds of packs and thousands of Lycans.
With the help of the devils and the fact that there were no reasons for them to reject her, Jenedieth was confident she could get her revenge.
Especially on the pack members who had once abandoned her after Torak exiled her from the pack, but seeing Raine now, Jenedieth felt that she should calculate her plan again.
"I could have your head roll on the ground with just my words," Raine said. Her voice neither very loud or fierce, but it was at the right volume to send chills down everyone's spines.
The way Raine dealt with them was very different from Torak, but the air around her showed anyone who had bad ideas to look down on her, because of the reality that she was guardian angel and human, to rethink their opinion.
Jenedieth clamped her mouth shut as her lips tightened into a thin line. Next to Jenedieth, Ryan stepped forward and glowered at Raine as he gestured for his people to get ready to attack.
"Think about that again." Raine smirked as she raised her hand.
The front yard of the safe house was very vast, it could easily fit hundreds of people with tall and thick walls surrounding the area, but at this moment, from behind those walls, many Lycan beasts started jumping inside while letting out menacing growls loudly as if to announce their presence.
Jenedieth and Ryan along with the three Alphas whose loyalty had shifted, felt aware of their surroundings instantly because the moment they resold their loyalty to an Alpha other than Torak, they were not part of the pack anymore.
"Clarice asked me a favor," Raine's eyes set in determination.
