The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 1023 - COME WITH ME

Raine witnessed all the nightmares of her life come at her once again. Everything that she had been afraid of and everything she ever wanted to avoid…

As a matter of fact, she never really recovered, Torak's presence only made her feel better, but it didn't really make her come to terms with her past and all the bad things that had happened to her, which had always been following her just like a shadow, haunting her.

As in the current case…

When she saw her teenage self in the padding room, with a nurse who never failed to hurt her.

Raine watched again how 'she' used to cower in fear when the male nurse came up to her and burned his cigarette on her skin, the fearful feelings that came crashing over 'her' being, was a reflection of Raine's own expression now.

These were the very dark times, after her relatives stopped visiting the hospital altogether and she was included in the list of 'forgotten patients'.

Raine could also see how Aeon was trying to protect her from supernatural beings when necessary, but the shadow warrior wouldn't do anything when he had to face a human.

Raine shouted at Aeon for countless times until her voice turned shrill, but he seemed not to hear her and remained standing in the shadows, just watching and did nothing…

That's not what Raine needed!

Raine needed Aeon to step out of the shadows and come into the light to save her, but he didn't do that, he just stood there… watching.

Raine fell to her knees while covering her ears and closed her eyes as 'her' still pubescent voice, continued to scream, echoing through the wall of the padding room. This strengthened her initial trauma. Returning all her fears in several folds compared to before.

Raine still remembered clearly how she was forced to hide in a dark room in a corner of this hospital and lost her voice after going through these very dark times of her life, losing her hope of living a normal life. How badly she wished to stop seeing the supernatural beings that keep roaming around her.

Everything immediately turned quiet when Raine covered her ears, but the silence didn't last long, because after that she felt a bright light probing her closed eyelids.

And again, Raine was brought to a different timeline.

She was now on the roof of a building and in front of her, were Aeon and Lucifer, talking to each other.

This was the same place once Raine was taken to, when the devil lured her out using her rabbit and drew her blood without her consent.

At that time Torak came and fought Lucifer, but it effected him fatally as Torak was injured gravely. Raine would never forget that incident...

"I don't want to do any task from you and I am not going anywhere," Aeon said in a firm tone, as if there was no room for negotiation.

"What?" Lucifer didn't seem very pleased to see the shadow warrior's petty mutiny, as a wicked smile crept on to his lips. "I have resurrected you from death, giving you one more chance to find the guardian angel, so you should follow what I want, right? Isn't that a covenant between us?"

Shadow tendrils appeared around Aeon's body, but Lucifer seemed unfazed at the sight of this, his laughter could still be heard in the air as he tapped Aeon's shoulder, without any fear.

"You know that I won't accept a 'no'?" After that he disappeared before the shadow warrior's eyes.

However, that wasn't all that happened; as if the scene before her was a part of the film which had its duration run out, everything suddenly blurred, until everything before her turn into a blazing white, forcing her to close her eyes and when she opened them again, she was already in a different place.

It happened for many a times to the extent that it couldn't even surprise her anymore.

Raine was very tired from all of this. She felt like someone who had been running non- stop for a whole day, only, in this case she was mentally exhausted from seeing everything she hated, which triggered the awakening of the memories of what she had been through. historical

Now, Raine could only sit down, kneeling on the dirty floor.

She didn't even know where this place was, it seemed like a corridor inside a castle which was dark and had no end… however, Raine didn't really care anymore.

After a moment, someone approached her.

The man then knelt before Raine and lifted the girl's face with his index finger, with a grin at the corner of his lips.

"Hi, my lovely guardian angel..." Belphegor smiled very sweetly at the girl who was experiencing a mental breakdown in front of him. "No more harsh words for me?" he asked.

However, this time, Raine did not reply to his words. She just stared blankly into the devil's golden colored eyes, as if she could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.

And this state of mind was what Belphegor wanted to put Raine in.

Belphegor then leaned his body, made sure that his lips were right beside Raine's ear, so he could whisper to her. "Hey, look... you don't have to go through allof this again if you come with me..."

Then Belphegor landed a kiss on Raine's cheek, before he looked at her with interest that devilishly sparkled in his golden eyes.

"You don't need to be afraid, you're safe with me," The devil kept whispering to her. "Forget everything and you won't feel this painful feeling again."

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

Hope blinked, adjusting her sight as she sensed the discomfort in her head that was throbbing painfully before she finally caught the figure of Lidya who was staring at her worriedly.

"Are you okay?" Lidya asked, helping Hope to sit down.

"What happened?" Hope held her head as she felt the familiar strangeness again, even the sound of her voice was different.

She then looked at Lidya questioningly before finally she looked at the two hands that did not belong to her. As panic ravaged her mind, Hope remembered that the last time she regained consciousness, she was not in her own body. "Am I still in Raine's body?"

And Lidya nodded.

"Where is Serefina?" Hope looked around and found the witch lying on the bed, not far from her.
