With that thought, Raine alighted from the car and approached Torak, who was busy talking to Lyrus. From their serious expressions, Raine could see how much trouble that they had to face right now.
To Raine's relief, the two of them only glanced at her way when they realized that she was coming to join the conversation, but then continued their discussion, letting her hear whatever it was.
"…the king will come in an hour or so," Lyrus said. The first sentence that Raine could hear the moment she stood beside Torak.
"What happened to the castle? What about… the people…" Raine couldn't bring herself to ask about Raphael, Calleb, Lana and many other people whom she had grown to love.
It would bring tears back to her eyes and the last thing that Raine wanted to do now was to cry her heart out like a weakling.
It was not the correct time for that, she would make time to mourn for every single grievance she had been feeling, but not now.
Lyrus didn't answer her question immediately, but he looked at Torak for agreement. "The castle had been burned to the ground, Luna," he informed her.
This was the first time that Lyrus showed some respect toward Raine, she could still remember how he denied her and caused trouble for Torak back then when they were in the village, after capturing most of the traitors hiding in Torak's pack.
Meanwhile, Torak put his hand around Raine's shoulders, he thought she would start crying again, yet he was totally wrong. Because Rain just took a sharp and deep breath before her expression returned to one of calmness.
"How about the people? You have not answered this question yet." Even Raine was surprised when she heard how steady her voice sounded.
Once again, Lyrus looked at Torak before he answered her. "Most of them were dead and some went missing," he said truthfully.
"What about Calleb?" Raine asked again. Her heart thumped faster as she waited for Lyrus's answer.
Torak had told her that they lost Raphael, as he noticed that the bond with his Beta couldn't be sensed anymore, but didn't say anything when she asked about Calleb.
Lyrus shook his head. "I don't know. The information is not really complete and my people were still searching around that place."
"Lana?" Raine asked again. Her chest tightened when she remembered Lana was pregnant with their son. It reminded her the vision she saw when she tried to look into the boy's future on Lana's request.
Calleb with a little boy.
Calleb would survive and it was the same for the baby as well, but what about Lana? The boy had lost his father even before he was born in to this world, it would be so cruel if he had to lose his mother as well.
"Still there is no information about the survivors." Lyrus shook his head. He looked tired, as if he had grown old over these few hours, needless to say, those people were almost like a family whom he had known for years, if Raine felt bad for them, one could only imagine how deep Lyrus feelings of sadness were now.
Above them the gloomy sky only added to their sorrow and bitter feelings…
And then, Raine looked at Torak. Her mate put on his emotionless facade again, but she felt it clearly through the bond they shared that he didn't feel at ease at all.
==============
"Something happened to Lana…" Kace said softly. He felt the vow that they made nineteen years ago being nullified all of a sudden.
"What do you mean?" Hope crouched down beside Kace. The only thing that she could think of was; Lana was facing an early delivery. Maybe there was some complication during the process, since it was not the time for her to deliver the baby.
"She is gone," Kace murmured, he shook his head, not able to believe his own words.
Hope couldn't comprehend his sudden pain. She couldn't feel the same feelings whatever Kace was experiencing right now. She didn't share a bloody vow with Lana and Kace was not an Alpha for a pack, which would have helped to form a bond between Hope and Lana if he was one.
"She is gone?" yet, before her question could be answered, a voice interrupted them and the phoenix above their heads let out an ear-piercing cry out of the blue.
"So, this is the phoenix, huh?" her voice was sultry and filled with malice.
Out of reflex, Hope raised her head and saw the woman, whom she met a few years ago when she ran away from Kace, standing at the end of the corridor, and staring at her with interest.
==============
Exactly after one hour, Jedrek came with Lilac on his tow along with the limited entourage he brought with him when they marched to the eastern region.
And of course not to forget about the additional forces, the faes which were fluttering their colorful wings above them.
Raine looked at Lilac with relief before they hugged each other tightly.
"I am glad you are fine…" Raine said to Lilac.
"So do I," Lilac whispered to her and felt slightly better after what she had been through.
On the other hand, Jedrek looked at the reunion of the guardian angels with a blank face that was devoid of any emotion, before he gestured Torak to follow him.
"We will be right back," Jedrek informed Lilac.
"Stay here," Torak said to Raine before he followed Jedrek.
Both of them shifted into their respective white beasts and rushed toward the direction of the village. They only stopped running when they arrived at a clearing and away from their people.
When it was only the two of them, it was Torak, who shifted into his human form first, but Jedrek's beast attacked him by clawing the side of his face.
Blood spluttered from the opened wound, but Torak didn't shift back to his beast form. He stood there calmly with blood dripping from his head as he saw Jedrek attacking him once more.
This time, his brother sent him flying a few meters away from the ground and snarled loudly when Torak didn't fight back.
Jedrek shifted back and thundered. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO LEAVE THE CASTLE!"
