Chapter 1108: Side story: black wolf

There was one room dedicated to Raine for her painting, since she loved to paint, but when she has Kayden and Aurora that room was rarely used, until they discovered Aurora has the same passion like her mother.

One of the few activities she liked was painting. Ever since she could hold a pencil in the age of four and write her name, she already showed her interest in drawing.

Therefore, that room now was used by Aurora to keep dozens of her painting there.

The thing that she liked to draw usually was nature and because they lived surrounded by the pines trees, she would put it on her draw.

Yet, recently she liked to draw wolves, a pack of wolves, since she watched her brother shifted and learned how to hunt in his beast form with the other lycan warrior.

Her drawing became more and more vivid and for a child in the age of eleven, it was simply amazing.

Torak loved to spend his time there to see whether Aurora drew a new one, or simply stared at Raine's old painting with a smile on his lips, reminiscing the old time.

However, there were two painting that bothered Torak, which composed with a wolf, a black wolf, to be precise.

Torak had never seen a black wolf in his pack, there were several wolves with dark fur, but not completely black. Who did Aurora draw?

This bothered Torak so much, especially when the little girl was throwing tantrum at him because he didn't allow her to sleep over at her friend's house.

How could Torak let her go to human's house and be at ease?! Nah, never.

============== 

"What happened with both of you?" Raine elbowed Torak lightly when she saw Aurora chose to sit between Calleb and his mate, as usually, the little girl loved to sit on her father's laps, though she was already big enough to do so.

"Nothing," Torak said curtly, but didn't look Raine in the eyes. 

There must be something happening…

Yet, before Raine could ask further, someone mind- linked him, saying that they caught a rogue near their border, thus it saved Torak to be investigated, as he leaned to kiss Raine's forehead and excused himself.

Raine also didn't have a chance to ask Aurora because she already went to the car that was drove by one of the lycan warrior to go to school, hurried Kayden to finish his breakfast faster, as if she knew that her mother had felt the oddity between her and her father and a long list of question was not something that she could avoid.

"What happened with her?" Raine muttered, watching the car drove away. "She leaves for school fifteen minutes early."

"Maybe she has a homework that she forgot, so she wanted to make it at school," Calleb chimed in and this got him a look from Raine.

"Are you talking about yourself?" Raine asked and Calleb only laughed since he got caught.

==============

"What's wrong?" Raine asked, she pulled herself from Torak, as she felt there was something bothering the lycan when they kissed.

Both of them were laying on the bed, under the dimly lit room, with the night chill wind fluttered the curtain, as the door of the balcony was being left open.

"Nothing," Torak said, attempted to kiss Raine agai, but she avoided him swiftly.

"No, you have zoned out since this morning and Aurora seems pissed for some reason that she doesn't want to tell me," Raine said, running her fingers between Torak's hair, since she knew he loved this gesture and made him more relax.

And it was proven to work, after a while of coaxing, Torak sighed deeply, or she could say as an annoying grunt.

"I think Aurora likes a boy," Torak said, but even now, he was still doubted that thought.

Upon hearing that, Raine lifted her eyebrows. This was a news for her. She didn't even know that her little girl started to have a crush on someone. "What makes you think like that?"

"Her painting," Torak replied in small voice. "She drew black wolf in her last two paintings."

"So?" Raine couldn't connect the lead about why her painting related to a boy? "What is wrong with her painting?"

Torak furrowed his eyebrows, pursing his lips and made Raine felt like she was facing the cranky Kayden instead of Torak. Or she could say; cranky Kayden was replicated of his father.

"We don't have a black wolf in our pack," Torak stated the obvious. "Where did she meet this black wolf?"

"Maybe she just draws it without any meaning in it." Raine tried to be more logic. "You are just overthinking things."

"No, no. This is father's instinct," Torak said stubbornly. He didn't budge with his opinion. How could he let Aurora to sleep over at her friend's house when the thought that she secretly met some brat out there hunted him?

============== 

Torak was determined to forbid the girl to have a sleep over and Aurora also was being stubborn, she didn't talk to Torak and today was the third days.

Therefore, to ease the situation, Raine would start with the mysterious black wolf in Aurora's painting to ease Torak's mind that his daughter was not in love with someone, since in Torak's opinion it was too soon a thousand years for her to feel that.

Yeah, sometime Torak tended to exaggerated things when it came about his children. He would go from the respective supreme Alpha to an annoying overprotective father real fast.

"Who is that wolf?" Raine asked when Aurora painted another painting with black wolf in it. Torak would be restless again if he saw this.

Aurora glanced at her mother briefly and pursed her lips. "This is father."

Raine was surprised, she didn't expect this answer. "But, you know right that your father has white fur?"

"I know," Aurora said calmly. "But, because he annoyed me, I will draw him in black."
