The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 969 - I AM AFRAID

"Bring back their inner beast." Lilac looked straight into Hope's eyes. "If you can speak to Kace's inner beast, it means you can find theirs too."

"What?" Hope stood up, she shook her head. "No. I can't do that."

However, Lilac grabbed her hand and spoke clearly. "You can do it and you will do it, because right now we don't have much time left." Lilac glanced at Raine and prayed that she could go through whatever things that held her back from being awake right now.

"Lilac, this is crazy, I have never done this before." Hope shook her head vigorously, as if Lilac just told her to go to the battlefield and win the war.

Probably she would ask that too, but in a different way and at a different time.

"How do you know I can do it?" Hope became even more terrified when she noticed the expectant looks swirling in Calleb and Ethan's eyes. They wanted her to do it, without knowing whether she had such a power or not. "You are talking nonsense, Lilac. This is very random."

"I'm not talking nonsense," Lilac said firmly. "And, I do know one thing; the power of guardian angels have no limits when it comes to what we are good at. If you believe that you can do it, you will be able to do it."

"How can you be so sure?" The way Lilac was looking at her, made Hope wanting to believe that she held that kind of power that could help them in this dire situation, but her hesitation was still in her way.

"Because I saw it. As a matter of fact, you can do more than this." Lilac had seen it when she looked into the stone the last time she was in the library, before she lost her consciousness.

However, just like Hope. She couldn't see Raine. Therefore, she was not able to see what she would be able to do with her power.

Raine was akin to someone who was lost in time. She was hard to find and not even their powers could reach her.

Lilac then shifted her eyes to Raine. No matter what happened, it would be great if she woke up soon, yet they didn't have time to wait… they were running out of time and the very guardian angel of time was out of their grasp.

Thus, they had to do whatever they could.

"What did you see?" Hope asked Lilac. She wanted to believe her words, but she was afraid to disappoint the two pairs of eyes that stared at her, with unconcealed hope.

Raine was laughing when she saw her playmate, Diana who was trying to rub the cream of the cake on her plate on Sally's face, and the cream fell on her yellow dress instead.

Diana was crying and ran to her mother, while Raine and Sally shared a high- five. Both of them didn't like her.

Today Raine turned nine years old and they were having a garden party behind their house with all her friends coming to congratulate her.

This was such a perfect day, with bright sunlight and beautiful decorations.

Though in Raine's nineteen years old mind, this was too childish, but she didn't mind it at all! No, she loved every second that she spent here. Glancing at a mountain of gifts that she received. She couldn't wait to open them all. This was such a blissful moment.

Raine even forgot that she had a best friend named Sally. They were practically glued to each other since they were toddlers.

At this moment, all of her memories about Torak started to fade away. She couldn't even remember the sensation that she felt when their skins touched with each other.

Raine was happy now and that was what matters most.

Right at that time, from the corner of her eyes, Raine caught a glimpse of something, but then it disappeared into the shadow as fast as it appeared.

And this didn't startle her, instead, it gave a sense of safety and protection…

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

"Rossie…" Bree tugged Rossie's shirt as they stood near the window and watched how close those vampires got to them. "Will we be running away again like before?"

Rossie stared down at Bree and could see the fear in her eyes, while baby Eddard was in her arms, sleeping.

"I don't know Bree…" Rossie said softly. "But, I think Alpha Alec will think about some solution…" she said in a comforting tone.

However, Adair couldn't pretend as calm as Rossie, she had been walking around this room from one corner to the other nonstop. "This is impossible! Where is the back up!? Why did they leave us alone here without sending anyone to help us? Why would Alpha Torak treat us this way?"

Seeing how anxious Adair was; Bree became even more afraid. The little girl clutched onto Rossie's shirt tightly.

"Adair, stop walking around inside this room in circles!" Rossie reprimanded her. "If you can't calm down, go out of this room."

Upon hearing that, Adair threw them a glare and grumbled something incoherently before she slammed the door shut, leaving them alone. historical

However, the harsh sound woke up baby Eddard and now he was crying…

[Calleb…] Rossie tried to mind- link her mate, though it was a futile attempt since they were miles apart from each other, she couldn't even call him through phone now. [Please… I am afraid.]

Lidya watched as Sterling's breathing became shallow, he almost lost it if they didn't do anything.

"Serefina, if we want to save him, I think I have to go now," Lidya said. She needed to teleport herself to Rieka and collect Hope's blood in order to save Sterling.

"Go and take Nutdrouk with you," Serefina noticed that the old friend of Kace was hanging onto the last thread of his life.

"No!" Nutdrouk immediately rejected that. "Why would you think I want to go to the middle of the battlefield?! No!"

"Then the deal between us is annulled." Serefina shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Lidya wanted to ask what actually Serefina had promised the dwarf for him to obey her?
