Chapter 364 - I AM STILL IN FULBRIGHT CITY

The way Raine mentioned her title, her tone was so strong, just like how the Luna supposed to be.

This sudden fierce behavior of Raine made Calleb stopped in his track and regretted his words. Sometime, because they were too close, Calleb would forget his position and reprimanded Raine like his little sister.

This was his mistake, because regardless how Raine looked at him like an older brother, she was still his Luna.

The way he talked harshly to her was a form of disrespect to his leader. In other pack, his action was difficult to be pardoned, at least he would be demoted by now.

"I am sorry, Raine. I was just too panicked because you are not inside your room." Calleb sighed deeply. "Now tell me, how can you be in the fulbright city?" this wasn't make sense, or maybe Calleb heard it wrongly?

"I don't know… when I opened my eyes, I was already inside Torak's office room." Raine frowned as her free hand caressed the bird on her chest.

Afterward, Raine told Calleb everything and the Gamma listened to her attentively.

"Raine, listen to me. Don't move from that hotel, I will call Raphael to inform him that you are there, so he could pick you up and bring you back here." Calleb spoke quickly as he was trying to hold back the sudden urge to crush his phone.

Torak had gone missing and now Riane, unknowingly, was in the city miles away from here. There must be something wrong somewhere, like there was someone playing with them.

The first thing that popped up in his head was; a traitor.

It wasn't surprised if there was a traitor among the Alphas since Torak was still looking for the opportunity to reveal their true skin one by one.

Except Alpha Ryan, there must be someone out there who wanted to stab Torak behind his back.

"You got it?" Calleb demanded Raine's reply.

"Got it." Raine nodded, though her mind was still trying to figure out how she could, all of sudden, in this fulbright city.

"Be careful Raine, I will call Raphael now." Calleb warned her anxiously. "Talk to you later."

"Bye." And with that the line was cut off.

Raine stared at the ceiling of the room while caressing the bird as she fell into a deep slumber, into a dreamless sleep.

For some reason she felt very exhausted.

============== 

When Raine opened her eyes, it was when she heard a loud ringing tone very near to her ears. She groaned and turned her body, but the sound was very irritating and wouldn't stop.

At the moment, she finally sat down and rubbed the sleepiness away from her eyes, she looked around and then finally the realization hit her as the memories of last night was brought back in her mind.

Raine gasped and looked for the little bird, she found the little creature was also fast asleep beside her, it breathing was shallow.

Carefully, Raine scooped the bird in her palm and wrapped it under the blanket as her phone kept ringing.

Only after she settled the bird, Raine picked her phone and frowned. Her heart skipped a beat as a bad premonition crept on the back of her head.

It was Sunny.

Why she called her?

Gritting her teeth. Raine wouldn't find out anything if she didn't pick her call, right? "Yes?" she kept her greeting as normal as possible.

"Raine, where are you? I am so worry about you and also Cassey, James, Kai and Connor, everyone wanted to know that you are all right." Sunny's distinctive voice flooded from the other line of the phone.

Raine's eyes casted down as she replied curtly. "I am fine. Don't worry." Her voice was so firm.

"Where are you now? Do you read the news? The police is looking for Torak Donovan. " Sunny reported.

"Don't worry about me, I am fine." Raine kept her answer short.

Because Raine didn't talk and ask anything back, as if she wanted to end it as soon as possible, thus the conversation turned a little bit awkward.

From the other end of the phone, Raine could hear Sunny cleared her throat. "Raine, about my family that took over the Donovan company…" she hung her words, hoping Raine would end it for her.

Knowing Raine, Sunny hoped she would say; it's all right.

Yet, Raine said nothing as she waited for Sunny to complete her sentence.

Leaving without any other choice, Sunny continued. "I know it's not right for my family to make this deal with de Medici family, but I just want you to know that I…" Sunny struggled to find the right word to say and Raine didn't help her. "… that I will always be your friend. Raine, are you angry with me?"

"No." Raine finally said something. "You have nothing to do with your family decision." She said to ease Sunny's conscience.

"I am glad if you think that way." Sunny sighed in relief.

"Sunny."

"Yes?"

"May I know who the person in charge in de Medici family for the collusion?" Raine asked in deep voice, her eyes remained tranquil while Sunny was slightly taken aback by the word 'colussion'.

"Mmh… it is, Mr. Reiz de Medici." Sunny answered in weird tone.

"Reiz de Medici." Raine repeated his name. She knew that Reiz de Medici was no other than Belphegor, the devil.

When she thought about this, an idea flashed before her eyes.

Maybe she could find Torak's whereabouts faster if she could use this opportunity. The reason he was here might be because the bird had brought him here. After all it was the beast's soul.

It sounded weird, yet after what Raine had been through, she was open to all the possibilities, no matter how nonsense they were.

"Sunny, do you know that Torak is missing?" Raine asked as she caressed the bird. "And I am still in Fulbright city for some reason. I am looking for him."

"Really?" Sunny was surprised.
