382: SECRET PASSAGEWAY

SECRET PASSAGEWAY

It was actually the dark magic that made the witch feel uncomfortable, not only that, it was quite strong as well.0

"If you step any closer than this, you will be burned to dust." That was one of the reasons why the devil was able to have a good time even after leaving his den unguarded. He could care less about this because it was protected so well. "I can only protect a maximum of six people."

Raine looked around. Those Lycanthropes from the red river city that came with her to take down Alpha Ryan and Jenedieth's plot, absolutely couldn't go inside, thus the only people left were….

"It will be me, Serefina, Calleb, Raphael, Alpha Romulus and Alpha Chris while the rest of you will stay here." Raine made a quick decision.

"Alright." Aeon agreed with Raine's arrangement.

The two Alphas were satisfied with Raine's decision and together they went into the house.

"Stay close to me." Aeon warned them as he extended his shadow under them, so they were walking on his shadow. "Don't step out from it."

"Okay." Out of six, it was only Raine who answered his warning, though Aeon didn't care as long as it was Raine.

Post that, they walked toward the house silently with Aeon leading the way.

They climbed the stairs and opened the door. Once the door was opened, the foul smell of alcohol assaulted their noses, especially for those Lycans who have strong senses, it was so hard to ignore.

"I assume you know where the book is." Serefina folded her arms in front of her chest, her nose scrunched in disgust at the smell.

"I know." Aeon nodded.

"You have more knowledge than I have expected." Regardless of the fact that it sounded like a compliment, as it came from Serefina, it was something that he wouldn't be proud of. "For an outsider like you, you know the devil well."

Aeon didn't answer her comment and acted as if he heard nothing as he walked down the corridor with the six people in tow.

The house was actually very clean as if someone had been taking good care of it and made an effort to keep it that way.

However, the chill that ran down Raine's spine was telling her there was something bad about this place.

Aeon kept leading the way to one of the doors and the moment he opened it, Raine could see the same and exact room that she had seen in her vision.

"This is the room in your vision, right?" Aeon guessed it when he noticed Raine's sudden change of expression.

"Yes," Raine nodded curtly.

This was indeed the same and exact room in which the witch from the blue moon pack was supposed to meet the devil, but because she had ordered her to be killed, the future got altered and something unpredictable happened.

Aeon walked toward a bookshelf and picked a book from it. Raine thought it was the book that they had been looking for, yet before Raine could asked for the book tofind out the information that they needed, the bookshelf in front of them moved and split into two, revealing a secret passage behind it.

"A secret room?" Serefina raised her brows, seemingly wasn't very ecstatic to see this. "I am not coming inside."

The witch raised her hands and leaned her body against the wall nearby. Resolute with her standing.

"But, what if we need you?" Raine didn't want to leave the witch behind. 

"Why would you need me?" Serefina frowned as she waved her hand toward Aeon. "You have him."

Crossing her arms, Serefina looked at Raine straight in the eyes, challenging her to force the witch. Yet, Raine knew better to not argue with Serefina when she was this stubborn.

"Let's get inside." Raine didn't want to have an argumentation with Serefina when she was trying to be an **s, thus she decided to just leave her be.

Raine didn't know why the witch didn't want to go inside the secret passage and tried to figure out her reason, but her mind only roamed around the possibilities of her having a phobia.

Maybe claustrophobia?

Raine shrugged her shoulders as she followed Aeon to go inside the secret passage with Calleb, Raphael and the two Alphas behind her.

This place was so dark and humid, Raine was afraid that the little bird would suffocate because she kept it inside her pocket jacket, thus she picked the little thing out and cradled it in her hands, feeling its heavy breathe.

Just a little bit more… just a little bit more…

Raine chanted those few words as she moved forward.

Outside the door.

Serefina's sharp eyes stared at the door behind which they disappeared as her expression turned very calm, too calm until it was almost scary.

She looked like someone who was waiting for something.

A minute…

Two minutes…

Nothing happened.

However, all of a sudden Serefina made a quick slashing movement as her face turned darker. She didn't say anything when she heard a chuckle that echoed inside the room.

The glasses making noisy tinkling sounds added to the creepiness in the air.

"Hey, Serefina… long time no see…"

Along with that sweet voice, a girl appeared from behind one of the doors.

She looked so gorgeous wearing tutu skirt as her dark eyes twinkled under the light of the room.

"Lilith…" Serefina mentioned her name with a lazy tone, as if she really didn't want to face this person right now, or if she could say she was a 'person'.

"I see, you and those pathetic creatures barged into my house." Lilith walked toward the bar. She took a sophisticated bottle and poured the liquid into two glasses.

"Don't worry, I am sure this is not the first time. Moreover, this will be a quick visit." Serefina shrugged her shoulders, not moving an inch from where she was standing.

"I know you came looking for the book…" Lilith murmured. "Don't you want to know why I didn't stop them from entering that secret passage earlier?" She asked cheerfully.
