Chapter 382 - SECRET PASSAGEWAY

It was actually the dark magic that made the witch felt uncomfortable, not only that it was quite strong as well.

"If you step any closer from this, you will burn into dust." That was one of the reason why the devil was having a good time for leaving his den. They could careless about this because it was protected so well. "I can only protect maximum of six people."

Raine looked around. Those Lycanthropes from the red river city that came with her to take down Alpha Ryan and Jenedieth's plot, absolutely couldn't go inside, thus the only people left was...

"It will be me, Serefina, Calleb, Raphael, Alpha Romulus and Alpha Chris while the rest of you will stay here." Raine make a quick decision.

"Alright." Aeon nodded with Raine's arrangement.

The Alphas were satisfied with Raine decision and together they went into the house.

"Stay close to me." Aeon warned them as he extended his shadow under them, so they were walking on his shadow. ???Don't step out from it."

"Okey." Out of five, it was only Raine who answered his warning, though Aeon didn't care as long as it was Raine.

With that, they walked toward the house silently with Aeon led the way.

They climbed three stairs and opened the door. Once the door opened, the foul smell of alcohol assaulted their nose, especially to those Lycans who have strong senses, it was so hard to ignore.

"I assumed you know where is the book is." Serefina folded her arms in front of her chest, her nose scrunched in disgust with the smell.

"I know." Aeon nodded.

"You have more knowledge than I expected." Regardless it sounded like a complimented, if it came from Serefina to Aeon, then it was something that you shouldn't be proud of that. "For an outsider like you, you know the devil well."

Aeon didn't answer her comment and acted as if he heard nothing as he walked down the corridor with five people in tow.

That house was actually very clean as if someone had really taken good care of it and made an effort to keep it that way.

However, the chill that ran down Raine's spine was telling her there was something bad about this place.

Aeon kept leading the way to one of the doors and the moment he opened it, Raine could see the same exact room that she had seen in her vision.

"This is the room in your vision, right?" Aeon guessed it when he noticed Raine sudden changed of expression.

"Yes," Raine nodded curtly.

This was indeed the same, the exact room that she saw the witch from the blue moon pack would come, but because she had ordered her to be killed, the future altered and now something unpredictable happened.

Aeon walked toward a bookshelf and picked a book from it. Raine thought it was the book that they had been looking for, yet instead of giving the book to Raine and found out the information that they needed, the bookshelf in front of them moved and split into two, revealing a secret passage behind it.

"A secret room?" Serefina raised her brows, seemingly didn't very ecstatic to see this. "I am not coming inside."

The witch raised her hands and leaned her body against the wall nearby. Resolute with her situation.

"But, what if we need you?" Raine didn't want to leave the witch behind.

"Why would you need me?" Serefina frowned as she waved her hand toward Aeon. "You have him."

Crossing her arms, Serefina looked at Raine straight into her eyes, challenging her to force the witch. Yet, Raine knew better to not argue with Serefina if she was this stubborn.

"Let's get inside." Raine didn't want to have an argumentation with Serefina when she was trying to be an **s, thus she decided to just leave her there.

Raine didn't know why the witch didn't want to go inside the secret passage and tried to figure out her reason, but her mind only roamed around the possibilities of she was having a phobia.

Maybe claustrophobia?

Raine shrugged her shoulder as she followed Aeon to go inside the secret passage with Calleb, Raphael and the two Alphas behind her.

This place was so dark and humid, Raine was afraid that the little bird would suffocate because she kept it inside her pocket jacket, thus she picked the little thing out and cradled it in her hand, feeling its heavy breathe.

Just a little bit more.. just a little bit more..

Raine chanted that words as she moved forward.

Outside the door.

Serefina's sharp eyes stared at the door where they came from as her expression turned very calm, too calm until it was almost scary.

She looked like someone who was waiting for something.

A minute..

Two minute..

Nothing happened.

However, all of sudden Serefina made a quick slashing movement as her face turned darker. She didn't say anything when she heard a chuckle that echoed inside the room.

The glasses made noisy tinkling sound added the creepiness in the air.

"Hay, Serefina.. long time no see.."

Along with that sweet voice, a girl appeared from behind the door.

She looked so gorgeous wearing tutu skirt as her dark eyes twinkle under the light of the room.

"Lilith.." Serefina mentioned her name with a lazy tone, as if she really didn't want to face this person right now, or if she could say she was a 'person'.

"I see you and those pathetic creatures barged into my house." Lilith walked toward the bar. She took a sophisticated bottle and poured the liquid inside to two glasses.

"Don't worry, I am sure this is not the first time. Moreover, this will be a quick visit." Serefina shrugged her shoulder, didn't move an inch from where she was standing.

"I see you look for the book.." Lilit murmured. "Don't you want to know why I don't stop you from entering that secret passage?" she asked cheerfully.
