Chapter 1079: After the war (3)

However, there was something different..

Torak felt it the moment he touched Raine and felt the different from the way they touched each other.

There was no spark.

There was no the tingling feeling that they almost felt when they touched each other.

There was no the bond between them.

There was no mate bond all over.

Torak was flabbergasted when the first time he realized this, despite being hugged very tightly by his mate, he didn't feel the spark whatsoever.

Not only that, in his beast form, Torak couldn't mind- link Raine to show her about how he felt right now since all the words failed him to explain what he exactly felt about this.

What happened with them now?

The white beast then shifted back into his human form and hugged Raine tightly. However, the spark was still not there..

How could this happen?

Was the mate bond between them had gone? Was that the price that they should pay for?

Yet, that was not important anymore when Torak could feel Raine's soft skin and hair, also the warm from her body and her scent.

All of sudden, everything seemed all right.

There was nothing change even without the absence of the mate bond.

Even though the spark from touching each other was not there and they couldn't read each other mind no longer, the way Torak felt about Raine and how his heart beat for her was still the same.

There was nothing change with his feeling. In his eyes, Raine was perfect. She was as beautiful as always and he couldn't ask for more, or else he would be the ungrateful creature in this earth.

The love for Raine and how the longing had finally came to end were the only thing that was in Torak's mind right now.

He had his mate back and nothing else matter.

He loved her when the mate bond was still there and he loved her even now when the mate bond was no longer existed between them.

This was such an amazing feeling.

If the mate bond obligated them to be together, but without it, it didn't make Torak's love for her became less important.

"Raine.." Torak whispered to her ears and buried his nose on the crook of his shoulder, taking liberty to breath in her scent. The sweet scent that only belonged to her. "Is it you?"

"Yes, this is me.. I come back." Raine nodded, tears rolled down her cheek when she answered him. "I comeback for you, my love.." she whispered to him.

The feeling was surreal to have her back in his arms and if this was a dream, Torak wished he would stay in this beautiful dream forever..

"I miss you.." Torak's voice was very hoarse when he cupped Raine's face and kissed her slowly, devour the taste of her lips, while they were smiling in their kiss.

There was nothing more perfect than this moment and Torak felt his waiting for seven years were worth it.

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

They were in the second floor and this entire floor was dominated with baby blue color, giving somewhat a calm vibrant and homey vibe.

Just like how Raine remembered it, there were only two doors in this floor.

One that led them to a huge dinner table and from where she stood, Raine could see the scene of the dining hall. The sight that many years ago made her froze on the spot, but now all she could feel was the warm greeting from all the people from this pack.

Their pack.

Raine couldn't believe that time flew very fast and everything seemed surreal to come true now. There was no war, there was no threat from the devils and they were here safe and sound, together with all the people that they loved..

The moment the Alpha and Luna stepped into the room, a loud of cheers and clapped echoed in the dining hall and only smiling face that they could see inside this room.

Beside Raine, Torak stood very close to her as if there was strong glue that was put on them. There was not even a moment for Torak to stay away from Raine, as if he put his focus on something else, he would lost her.

It was ridiculous, but knowing Torak, it was not impossible, because that was the way he protected her before, when they met for the first time.

Torak wouldn't let go of her, since he had a taste of the bitterness of the separation..

There was no way he wanted to go through that nightmare again.

Meanwhile, Raine seemed to understand her mate fear and grabbed his hand to walk into the dining room and sat among their people.

At first Torak didn't want to have this dinner, as he just met Raine again for less than four hours. Torak just wanted Raine for himself.

However, the reality told him otherwise, especially when Calleb knew that Raine had finally returned, he made an announcement and hyped all the people to see their Luna.

Of course, the news about Raine spread like a wildfire and no one would let Torak to have the Luna for himself.

Maybe not now, but definitely Torak wouldn't let them to have Raine for the rest of the night, because at that time, Raine only belonged to him.

For now, the Alpha, reluctantly, agreed for this dinner and let them to meet Raine.

"Raine, I miss you so bad," Belinda said, tears had stained her cheeks since the first time Calleb told them the news about Raine, and now she was crying again.

May people that had known Raine came to her and hugged her for a bit longer, and in the process they had to push Torak away, because so many people came to his mate.

"Stop being grumpy, Alpha." Calleb came to him and gave him a glass of drink, teasing the Supreme Alpha. "Raine is here now."

Calleb could see how her presence alone was able to warm the room and made all the people more cheerful.

She was indeed born to be a Luna.

When all the people had they turned hugging Raine, this time it was Calleb, who stepped forward and hugged her very tight, swung her body and made Raine giggled in surprise, enjoying this.

On the other side, Torak could only see them sullenly, since it was Calleb, he didn't really mind it, as he had a big tolerance to his Beta.

And after that, they had their dinner together. The atmosphere was so warm and there was only laughter and jokes that people threw at each other.

It was such a beautiful night.

However, it was enough for Raine, because she knew that deep inside of her, she wanted to be with her mate now. It was time for them alone.

And as if Torak could read Raine's mind, he stood up and took her hand, disregarding the people gaze that looked at them questioningly. Why their Alpha and Luna went out of the room even before the dinner ended?

See, even without the mate bond between them, Torak was still able to know what Raine wanted from her small gesture alone. With or without the mate bond, Torak would still want her, love her wholeheartedly.

And then, Calleb smoothened the situation. "Lets the Raine and Torak have a chance to make a small Alpha or Luna.." he said in low voice, but there was no way they couldn't hear that.

And with that understanding, the warm atmosphere returned.

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

Behind the close door, under the light of the moon, in their balcony, Torak kissed Raine deeply, as if he was trying to devour her presence and taste the sweetness of his mate's lips.

He didn't want to let her go again.

"The mate bond is gone.." Raine said breathlessly when Torak undressed her very slowly and her dress pulled around her feet.

However, Raine didn't feel shy.. she looked at Torak's dark eyes with longing and shivered when Torak's hand caressed her bare skin.

"I know my love.." Torak replied softly to her lips and kissed her jaw, peppering small kisses along her collarbone. "And I still want you nonetheless. There is nothing I want, but you."

Torak then lifted Raine and carried her into their room, placed her on the bed.

For a moment Torak just stared at his mate, staring at every inch of her skin, as if he had never seen something more precious than this, until Raine pulled herself up and traced her slender fingers on his chest.

"Take it off.." Raine said, tugging gently at Torak's clothes. "I want to feel you."

And Torak complied to her demand.

Within a second, Raine could see the wounds from the war from years ago on Torak's chest. It seemed there were wounds that couldn't properly heal.

"Is it hurt?" Raine traced her finger at the big wound that transverse from his left shoulder to his stomach.

historical

"Nothing is hurt me than to not able to see you." Torak took Raine's hand and kissed her knuckles.

Raine understood, because she felt the same too. Those wounds were only reminder that they had been through the worse together.

Torak then laid her down on the bed again and gently nibbled on her stomach, made Raine moaned in pleasure when she wrapped her legs around his waist.

However, Torak didn't stop teasing her for a long time and this time, Raine pushed Torak down, kissing her mate and they made love as if there was no tomorrow.
