Chapter 157 - I HOPE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND
Before even Raine could finish her words, Torak turned his head and trapped Raine's face between his palms. Above him, was Raine's beautiful eyes that were blinking like stars. "Thank you for stay with ."
Raine needed to bend her body, so Torak could kiss her.
The kiss didn't last for long, but it managed to warm both of their heart. Afterward, Torak changed his position and pulled Raine closed to him as he wrapped both of them inside the blanket.
Raine used Torak's upper arm as pillow and hugged his waist. It felt so warm and comfortable, and she didn't want this mont to go, she wanted to always be able like this with Torak.
Raine nuzzled her head against Torak's neck as she mumbled. "I am still upset and sad because Serefina burned my mother's diary." She whined. "She shouldn't do that…"
"I know." Torak rubbed her back soothingly. "I wish I could stop her in ti."
"Torak…" Raine stared at him and looked a little bit reluctance. "Would you like to tell
about what had happened in the village of angel?" She brought back the topic.
After all, Torak had promised her to answer her question about this.
"I will tell you the truth, but please don't judge …" Torak sighed deeply, his body tensed up. He was afraid Raine would see him as the beast he was.
Ruthless and cruel.
Two adjectives that could describe him perfectly, but he still didn't want Raine to see him in that way.
Raine wasn't sure if she should nod her head, because she was also afraid about the things that she was about to know, hence she kept silence and let Torak to start his explanation.
"It was
and my brothers that had ordered the attack on the village of angel." Torak started it with admitted the crucial part. "But, it wasn't us who wanted that in the first place. We received an order." He referred to him and his brother when he ntioned 'us'.
"Who?" Raine frowned. Who would be so powerful enough to order him and his brother? Because based on what she heard and her understanding, Torak wasn't soone who would take an order willingly, so his brothers wouldn't be so different, right?
"Selene. The Moon Goddess." Torak said her na impassively. He couldn't hate the Goddess like he used to in the past, because she had fulfilled her promised and brought Raine to him.
The only person that ant the world for him.
Torak couldn't see his existence without Raine after he found her. He just couldn't rember how he had lived his live these centuries without her, everything seed blurred in comparison with Raine in his life now.
"The Goddess?" Raine asked incredulously. She had only read about Goddess in the book, she thought about them as they were only myth, sothing that only existed in the books.
But, those supernatural creatures also the sa, yet in reality they were real.
"Yes, my love. The Moon Goddess." Torak confird it, he could understand with Raine's confusion. "She didn't like with the rule that Shadow Warriors set up for the Guardian Angel."
"The Moon Goddess ordered to kill them all?" Raine asked, extrely baffled. Why a Goddess ordered sothing so cruel like that?
"No." Torak denied. "The Moon Goddess only ordered us to take the guardian angel away from the shadow warrior, aside from that, there was another more important reason why we needed to take the guardian angel."
"About the attack…" Raine's mind trailed back to the attack in the village of angel.
"That was
and my brothers' order." Torak repeated the information. "The shadow warriors refused to give up all the guardian angel, that was within my expectation of course, and as a Lycanthropes and creatures who only knew brute force to solve a problem. The attack was sothing that we couldn't avoid."
Torak tried to explain his perspective and hoped Raine could understand his decision and why that decision was taken during that ti.
Torak decided to co clean with Raine, no matter what she would think about him after this, because he couldn't find himself fooling and lying to her.
For the creatures that lived in ancient era, brute force was the only thod to achieve their goal on sothing if the other party refused to obey their demands.
And in Lycanthropes' case, they were always being the top of food chain, so a disobedience act wasn't sothing that they could tolerate.
It was their nature.
Raine didn't give any reaction for a few minutes as she tried to let the information sink in her understanding.
"Can you say sothing?" Torak beca anxious when he saw Raine was at lost. "I didn't try to justify decision, but I want you to understand the situation at that ti."
"You tried to kill
at that ti…" Raine said almost scare when she rembered that.
Torak frowned when he heard that. "Did we et with each other?" He tried to recall the event in his head, but that occurred centuries ago and he didn't rember much about the detail.
"No." Raine sighed deeply and then told him what had happened the day of the attack. "Soone inford you that I am your mate, but you ordered to kill
instead."
"No, no, no…" Torak hugged Raine tightly. "There must be misunderstanding sowhere. I don't rember soone ntion anything about mate to
during that period of ti."
He was very sure about this. Since, the curse from the Moon Goddess was well known by other creatures that the Donovans wouldn't be blessed with mate, no one ever dare to ntion it in front of them.
If soone was talking about mate, Torak would likely rember that.
"No?" Raine asked him, befuddled. She rembered clearly that one of the Lycan went away to relay the information about her. "But… There was one lycan who inford you…" Maybe he forgot?
Torak shook his head firmly. "No. I will rember that if soone ntion about mate to , because the word of 'mate' was a taboo topic."
"Why?"
