378: RAINE'S PUNISHMENT

RAINE'S PUNISHMENT

Raine's order was something that they would never expect, it was only Serefina and Raphael who didn't feel surprised by this.1

After all, Raphael had seen how Raine handled herself very well when she had to kill her own friend, while Serefina knew from the determination in Raine's eyes that the girl wasn't the same little girl, who would be scared of something remotely gruesome.

Raine had been through a lot of hardships and witnessed many gruesome scenes to be able to reach this point of her current calmness.

Maybe the disappearance of Torak served as a trigger for her as she always saw Torak as the most important person in her life.

Raine would do everything to save him and she did what she had to do. If by becoming stronger and having a heart hard like a stone were two of the requirements for her to increase the possibility to save Torak then she was doing it very well.

Without saying anything, Raphael executed the first order from his Luna swiftly. He quickly half shifted as his nails turned into claws and he cut Alpha Brian's head in a single movement with ease.

Many Lycans there had seen this kind of bothering punishment and didn't even flinch when Alpha Brian's head rolled on the ground, yet what they didn't expect was for Raine to keep her expression straight, though she didn't look at the bloody scene directly, her eyes showed no emotions whatsoever.

Wasn't this one of the traits that they wanted in their Luna? Then Raine would give it to them.

Because if Raine lost this moment, she wouldn't only lose her chance to save Torak and gain their respect, but she would also get herself in danger.

Once those Alphas saw Raine's incapabilities, they would disregard her and Raine didn't have time to deal with them when each second was very important for her to save Torak.

Raine could feel it, the bird had became even weaker now.

After all, Raine had been through a lot. She had lost her parents since she was a little child, being in a mental institution and got abused by a man there, living in the orphanage with fear, got to know this fascinating, yet cruel world of supernatural creatures, killed someone and had been killed.

And recently she just killed a little boy and her first friend.

What else Raine wouldn't go through to save the love of her life?

On the other hand, she wasn't at fault. Those Lycans indeed deserved such punishment for betraying Torak and putting him in danger.

Another head rolled to the ground, this time, it was Alpha Ralph's.

"Can you make her stop crying Serefina?" Raine asked the witch as it was a little bit annoying to hear her weeping.

Fear filled the air, as the only screams that could be heard was the wailing sounds from Jenedieth upon witnessing her supporter's heads fell one by one, before her voice lost its purpose. 

When it came to Alpha Ryan, he still glared at Raine viciously, not even blinking when his life died out from his eyes.

With that, Raine had fulfilled Clarice's last wish.

When Raphael stood behind Jenedieth, he stopped and looked at Raine, waiting for her instruction whether she would kill her too or she had something in her mind.

Raine shifted her attention to Jenedieth, whose face had turned as white as a sheet. She didn't look as haughty as herself an hour ago.

"You are not a Lycan anymore." Raine stated as she took two steps forward to stand right before Jenedieth as a gentle smile appeared at the corner of her lips to irritate her. "You are also not a human or any other creature, so who are you?" Raine raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"I would like to spare your life, but if I let you go, you will bother me again and again." Raine inched closer. She could be this close because Jenedieth wouldn't be able to hurt her without her beast, and without her beast she was as good as a normal human being. "And I will not take that risk."

With that being said, Raine stepped back and let Raphael end her life.

Jenedieth, Ryan and the three Alphas who betrayed Torak, wouldn't have thought that their plan by coming here to seize the opportunity to become the new rulers of the Lycanthropes in the absence of Torak, would bring them to their own death sentences.

Raine slightly frowned, but the fleeting emotion that flickered in her eyes immediately disappeared as if it wasn't there in the first place, leaving her with a straight face.

"Who is next!?" Raine asked, sweeping her gaze over the people around her. "Anyone who wants to pledge their loyalty to them can step forward now!" She nodded to the dead bodies that were being carried away out of the house, leaving trails of blood in their wake.

Silence.

No one dared to talk and when Raine's gaze, once again, fell on them, those Alphas fell to their knees and hailed her name.

It was the recognition that Raine wanted. This was what she needed.

The atmosphere turned solemn when they pledged their loyalty to their new Luna, even without the presence of the Alpha, it was the Luna's duty to take the lead.

The way Raine dealt with those traitors, they could say that decision met up with their expectations.

"Luna, may I know how we could find the Alpha?" Alpha Chris, the younger Alpha based on his appearance, asked politely.

Instead of answering his question, Raine turned to face Serefina and fished out a small bottle from her pocket.

"Can you bring us to this place?" Raine gave the bottle that was touched by the witch's magic from the last time. Raphael knew that place, but they needed something that consisted of their magic and Raine just had this one. "It is a place that looks like a bar."

"I know." Serefina nodded, "but the problem is, I can't move all of them…" She opened her hand and waved to all the Lycans there.

"I can."

A voice interrupted them all of a sudden.
