384: WHERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE!?

WHERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE!?

Raine furrowed her eyebrows when she heard the way Aeon answered her, but she didn't ask him any further.1

They continued walking for a few more minutes before they reached a staircase, leading them down.

"Wait." Raphael held Raine's hand before she could take a step to go down the stairs.

"What?" Raine turned around and Raphael pulled her behind his back as he faced Aeon.

"Are you scared?" Aeon asked Raphael in a mocking tone. He didn't know why the Beta stopped him, but he didn't want him to waste his time.

"What are you up to?" Raphael confronted the shadow guard. "Do you want to kill all of us?"

Raphael's statement erupted growls from the two Alphas behind them, they were ready to attack Aeon if it weren't for Calleb who held them back and convinced them to let Raphael talk to Aeon.

"Why would I kill you when we are already here?" Aeon shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "I would not have come to help you in the beginning itself, if that has been my intention."

Aeon then glanced at the bird in Raine's hand.

"That bird will only last for another one hour or two," Aeon shifted his gaze from the bird and looked at Raphael. "Do you really believe that a bottle could lead you here?"

Raphael didn't say anything as he squinted his eyes dangerously.

"Don't look at me that way," Aeon grumbled as he waved his hand with a lazy attitude. "If you think that I am Lucifer's pawn, then my answer is; yes, I was. But, also because of that, I know what you don't know."

"You are not now?" Calleb quipped from behind Raphael while holding back Raine, protecting her in every way possible.

"I will not be here if I was not." Aeon glared at Calleb. "Are you going to stand here all day or we will continue this? Note this down; I don't care whether your Alpha is alive or not, my only concern is her."

"How dare you to talk to our Luna like that!" Alpha Chris was about to storm forward and rip Aeon's mouth apart for talking like that about Raine.

"Enough!" Raine was very annoyed with the way those Lycanthropes and Aeon were behaving now. "Stop talking and start walking!"

Raine walked past Raphael and Aeon. "What are you waiting for?" She glared at Aeon.

Aeon had already said that the bird wouldn't last for too long, thus why were they still wasting time to argue about something so insignificant? Raine simply couldn't understand their ego filled minds.

Aeon chased after Raine and walked in front of Raine while Calleb and Raphael followed them closely with the two Alphas in tow.

After they climbed down the stairs, they came face to face with another door, but before Aeon could open it, he turned around and warned all of them.

"Whatever you see behind this closed door or whoever you meet later, don't ever show your emotion or walk away from the shadow." Aeon glanced at the shadow under their feet.

The shadow warrior didn't even wait for them to answer him as he opened the door and stepped inside without hesitation.

"I will walk in first." Raphael held back Raine and followed Aeon's steps.

Raine put back the little bird in her hand into her pocket when she entered the room and immediately shivered as a gust of cold wind blew past her face.

It was so cold as if they were inside a refrigerator.

Raine moved closer toward Calleb and snuggled in his embrace as the Gamma wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

Why was the temperature so low? When it was so warm outside? Raine didn't think that they provided air conditioner here.

"Don't you feel any cold?" Raine sneezed as she asked Calleb.

"We, Lycanthropes, fortunately, are hot blooded, thus this kind of coldness is still bearable." Calleb explained.

"Oh," Raine mumbled as she felt Calleb's hand, which draped on her shoulder, was indeed warmer than hers. "I hope in this condition, I have hot blood too."

"Don't worry. You are 'hot headed'." Calleb chuckled on his own joke.

"Not funny." Though she said that, a soft smile grazed her lips.

They walked further inside, but aside from the coldness in the air, this tunnel passageway wasn't as dark as they thought it to be, there was a still glimmer of light along the way, though they couldn't find any light source there.

And when Raine was lost in her own thoughts, worrying over the little bird in her possession, something caught her attention.

A girl.

Standing not too far from her.

No. There are two girls.

Raine recognized one of the girls as the one from the vision that she saw before, the girl who was able to revive the flowers that have withered.

But, Raine didn't know who the other girl was.

Who is she? Why are they here?

Those two girls were staring at her, yet their eyes were not really on her. It was almost as if they were daydreaming.

The flower girl was holding a basket of red flowers while the other, the one that Raine had never seen, had her hands behind her back.

Overall, Raine could see the resemblance among the three of them, especially their black hair and black eyes.

Serefina had told her that the girl with flowers was the mate of Jedrek Donovan, then it should be safe to say that the other girl was Kace's mate, right?

Raine's curiosity made her feel an urge to walk over and approach them, she didn't even realize when she had taken three steps away from Calleb.

And the strangest thing was; Calleb didn't even hold her back or prevent her from leaving his side.

Raine just realized that she left the group when Aeon held her wrist and shouted her name. "Where are you going!?"

"Huh?" Raine was slightly confused when she noticed Aeon's stern expression. "There are two girls there."

Raine pointed in the direction of the girls before, but she couldn't find them there. Only darkness greeted her eyes.

However, when Raine looked back at Aeon, there was another thing that shocked her. "Where are the others?!"
