Chapter 389 - THE FLAMES THAT COVERED THEM

Raine couldn't comprehend that fact in her head as she immersed herself in the agony that she felt, not even Aeon's voice could reach her.

In his attempt to calm Raine, Aeon was burning with the heat in the air around him. The shadow warrior extended his hand to her, but he couldn't even move an inch.

"Raine, stop it!" Aeon covered his face from the fire, he was badly injured, but he didn't care.

Meanwhile, inside the molten fire that engulfed her body Raine felt there was a pair of arms that sent spark through her whole body.

The familiar spark that she had missed for days, the spark that only belong to him.

Raine curled herself into his embrace as in her head, she heard Torak's voice, talking to her, calling her name, asking her to stop.

[Torak…?]

[It's me… it's me, my love.]

The blaze flickered for a moment, before it exploded all at once in a puff of smoke.

Finally Raine opened her eyes. She had never looked so weak to the Alpha before this, even when Torak found her for the first time, she didn't look like this.

Raine now, was looking at him with sadness and exhaustion. She said nothing as tears after tears were streaming down her cheeks.

Torak's heart was aching, upon seeing his mate in this condition.

"I am sorry… I am so sorry. I have brought you into this mess…" here, Torak was holding his mate, let her body heat warmed him.

"Torak…" Raine called out his name in agony, her voice was very hoarse and dry as though she would hurt her throat further if she talked more than this.

"Yes, my love… I am here." Torak ran his fingers through her black hair as Raine buried her face on his sturdy chest.

"I saw you… I saw you…" dead.

Raine couldn't bring herself to say the last word, as if it was a final verdict that the scene that she had seen before this was real.

She didn't want to think that scene was real.

"You saved me. You saved me and now I am fine." Torak hugged Raine a little bit tighter now, feeling her small body shivering out of fear.

Even Torak could feel her fear from the bond that they shared.

Torak kissed her head and let her crying for as long as she need and that was what Raine did before she sniffled and raised her head to see her mate face.

"Don't leave me…" her voice was very pitiful and Torak's heart clenched upon hearing the plea that laced in her voice.

"I will not…" Torak shook his head and wiped away her tears. "I will not…"

And once again their body were engulfed by fire from the firebird that flew on top of their head. The white light flooded their surroundings and the sound of the crackle of flames moments later.

The sensation of falling overwhelmed Raine as she shut her eyes and held onto Torak's body tightly.

"Torak!?"

"Alpha!"

"He returns!"

Noises sound that buzzed Raine's ears awoke her from a nightmare. She recognized those voices and her eyes shot open in alarm.

She was in her world again.

Raine watched as Calleb and Raphael approached them, also the five Alphas and their pack members. They were in their human form.

Why they were in human form? How about the battle?

Raine skimmed her surrounding, but still didn't let Torak go from her tight hug, her arms were akin to octopus, latched onto Torak.

The devil's legion, the group of men, who wore long black cloak, stood in the distance couldn't cross the fire that encircled the Lycanthropes.

Where did the fire come? Is it the fire that the bird had conjured or it is Serefina's creation to ward off their enemies?

Raine didn't have time to think about that when the fire, all of sudden, was extinguished and showed the devil, c.o.c.king his head to the side and grinned as he halted his step a few meter away from where the Lycanthropes stood.

"Wow! How about your reunion with your mate? Are you touched?" Lucifer meant to sound strong and daunting, but his question came out as an angry snarl.

Raine felt all the color drain from her face.

Torak could feel Raine's distress and put his big palm on the back of her neck as he drew circles to soothe her tense.

"Stay with me my love," Torak whispered to her ears as he shifted into his massive beast, putting Raine on top of his body.

[Don't fall and keep your head low.] Torak mind- linked Raine.

Raine complied, she grabbed Torak's soft white fur and lowered her head, only then she realized Torak's beast this time was bigger than the last time she saw him.

But, another thing happened, all of sudden Torak's beast was covered with golden flames.

The first thing that Raine thought was, the beast was being attacked by the Devil or the witches and this fire would burn them.

Raine's heart skipped a beat as she wait for the fire to burn them, yet the flames were not hot. They fluttered around her like innocent flickering lights.

[Don't worry. Just hold tightly to me.] Once again, Torak mind- linked her. Apparently, Torak didn't totally lost to his beast and was still able to communicate with Raine.

The beast felt his little mate nodded her head and then began sprinting toward Lucifer. His powerful legs were moving so fast, leading his pack with Calleb and Raphael's beast followed closely behind.

A rush of adrenaline pulsated through Raine's entire body, the beast was moving with ease and fortunately Raine could find a comfortable position to place her body, so she wouldn't fall easily.

Raine's legs clamped both sides of the beast torso as she was hidden underneath the beast's flames.

The beast, effortlessly, maneuvered through the devil's minions as he bit or clawed them in the process and rapidly stormed toward Lucifer.
