377: DEATH

DEATH

Raine didn't use her own hand because she didn't want to hurt herself, moreover those Lycans had just right amount of strength to make Jenedieth suffer enough.2

Next to Jenedieth was Alpha Ryan with a battered face, he growled loudly to stop the Lycan for hurting his mate, it was kind of torture for him to see Jenedieth being humiliated right before his eyes while he could do nothing except spout profanities.

Raine didn't stop the Lycan and stayed quiet when Alpha Ryan's wrath was directed at her, after all he couldn't do anything aside from talking nonsense.

This was for Clarice and her son, yet this kind of torture was still very light compared to what Ryan had done to them.

Only when Jenedieth couldn't move anymore and her face was very swollen from being slapped so hard continously for a few times, did Raine raise her hand to stop the Lycan and he conceded.

This action made Serefina feel curious, how could Raine gain their respect in such a short period of time? She was sure, the last time she checked those Lycans wouldn't even care about Raine's existence when Torak was not around.

"You b*tch!!!" Alpha Ryan tried to free himself from Raphael and was about to attack Raine, yet even before he could move a muscle, a swift kick landed on the back of his head that sent his face kissing the ground very hard.

Raphael, who was holding Ryan, stumbled forward because Ryan dragged him along when he fell, fortunately the Beta could regain his footing very fast and glared at Calleb, who just kicked the Alpha of the blue moon pack.

"He needs to be taught a lesson or two." Calleb shrugged his shoulders as he gave Raphael an innocent look.

The Beta glared at the Gamma before resuming his action of restraining Alpha Ryan.

Though he had been kicked by Calleb, Ryan didn't stop to voice out his provocation. "You keep saying that Torak is still alive, but you don't have proof for that!"

Raine stepped forward, making herself visible to those traitors. "Do you?" She dropped down to her knees, so she could have an eye to eye conversation with this despicable creature in front of her. "Do you have any proof that he is dead?"

Raine asked the same question that stirred the Alphas and the Lycans' opinion around them.

"Tell me, do you have proof for your claims?" Raine tilted her head, looking at Alpha Ryan menacingly. "Or do you bring any proof with you?"

Alpha Ryan couldn't answer that, because the moment Torak Donovan dropped dead after being attacked by Lucifer, his body turned into dust.

It was strange, but Lucifer said Torak Donovan was no more, except Alpha Ryan interpreted it wrongly, and thought that Torak was dead. After all, there was no other meaning for the devil's words.

"Do you have any proof to say that he is still alive? All of you have been searching for him for days, yet no one could grasp a single whisper about his whereabouts, since Torak Donovan is very strong, do you think he would still be missing until this day?!"

Alpha Ryan tried to confuse the other Alphas, he could tell that they were still reluctant to acknowledge Raine as their Luna and Ryan would use this opportunity to turn the tables.

However, he would never have a chance to do so.

"He. Is. My. Mate." Raine uttered every single word. "I will know, whether he is alive or dead."

"It doesn't prove anything!" Alpha Ryan bit back with scorn. "Torak Donovan is dead and that is the truth!"

And then, in his last attempt to sway those Alphas around, Alpha Ryan said his last piece loudly.

"Torak Donovan is dead! And the war is just around the corner, we can prevent the war from happening by handing this woman over to the devils!" Though the last sentence was something that Alpha Ryan had made up, but he could care less about such details right now.

It was evident that the Devils looked for the guardian angel and as for what they would do to her, he had no concern whatsoever.

"So, what will you get from succumbing yourself to the devils?" Unexpectedly, Alpha Romulus stepped forward and voiced out his opinion, he stood tall beside Raine as he glowered down at Alpha Ryan. "I will opt for another war, if I have to lower my head toward something so distasteful."

"Do you think she is not distasteful enough?!" Alpha Brian roared as he directed his furious gaze toward Raine. "You will choose to succumb yourself under this weak and worthless creature?!"

Romulus gritted his teeth. "She is the Alpha's mate for a reason." He said, almost snarling. "And if she has a way to find the Alpha, I will do everything that I could do to find him."

Alpha Romulus then shifted his gaze toward Raine as he added. "If it's not the case, then she was worthless."

Alpha Romulus's declaration almost seemed like he pledged his loyalty to the pack, but if one understood it carefully, it was just another way to say; if Raine couldn't meet their expectations in finding Torak just like what she promised earlier, then he wouldn't mind killing her by himself.

The message was clear for some of the people there, including Raine.

After hearing Alpha Romulus's brave statement, Raine stood up and glanced over at Serefina and the witch nodded her head as if saying; 'do it. whatever you need to do.'

And that was exactly what Raine did.

"Thank you for your opinion Alpha Romulus." Raine's voice was neither too loud nor strict, it was at the right amount of sweetness and maturity.

Her voice was like a summer breeze, yet it carried a deathly statement after that.

"I assure you that I can find Torak and I will. But before that, I will ensure that justice is upheld." Raine looked at Calleb and Raphael as she sensed newfound courage in the way they looked at her to say her piece. "What is the punishment for a traitor?" Raine asked Raphael.

"Death." Raphael answered simply.

Raine nodded and spoke with her tender voice. "Do it then, starting from him." She pointed at Alpha Brian.
