Chapter 846 - HE IS COURTING DEATH

"Of course you are, she is your mate after all." Hope winked at Kace and moved closer to him. "Don't worry, I have a lot of ideas in my head which would help you impel Sterling and Shopia warm up to you."

However, Kace put down Bree and tweaked Hope's ear. "Stop with your stupid ideas, now come back with me and don't wander around as you please," Kace scolded her, while his mate screeched.

The two mates bickered with each other as they walked away, but this only made Calleb sad, he wanted to bicker with Rosie like that too or be lovey dovey just like Torak and Raine.

While Calleb was busy contemplating, he felt someone tugging his hand and when he looked down, he found the little girl named Bree staring at him.

They had met before when Calleb went to the northern coven realm to find Kace, but aside from that, they had never talked with each other.

"What do you want?" Calleb asked the little girl. His voice sounding tired.

"Are you really Rosie's mate?" Bree asked, this morning she heard Rosie talking about mate things the whole time and this made her curious as well.

"Yes, I am," Calleb said proudly.

Bree smiled until her teeth were visible clearly. "Rosie and I will go on a walk in the back yard this evening, we will take a few things from the kitchen." she said while walking away. "Only the two of us," she added and winked at Calleb, mimicking what Hope did earlier.

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

When the sun was almost set and the day turned into a beautiful twilight in the sky, Raine felt someone touching her which prompted her to open her eyes.

She realized that Torak actually wanted to carry her, because she fell asleep in the King's chamber.

"Torak," she said sleepily, rubbing her eyes and got off of the bed, because she saw Jedrek had entered the room as well and was talking to Raphael now.

"Let's go back to our room, I will ask someone to bring our dinner," Torak said softly, he helped Raine to get down from the bed and walked toward the door.

Raine nodded and yawned. From the corner of her eyes, she saw that Lilac was still fast asleep. She indeed got better, but she was still recuperating from her mark and the last event, thus it was natural that her tendency to sleep for longer periods intensified.

"Let's go," Torak grabbed her wrist and pulled her close to him. Today was really exhausting and he needed his mate close to him.

They walked past Jedrek and Raphael, who were still busy talking about something, that seemed very important.

Raine nodded at Jedrek politely, since she felt Jedrek was a little bit hard to approach, not like Kace, who almost had the same personality as Hope.

Jedrek reciprocated her gesture and turned his attention back to Raphael.

"How is your day?" Raine asked, clinging on to his arm, while Torak tousled her hair when they walked in the corridor with big windows lined up on their right side.

"Just like usual," Torak shrugged casually.

"What will you do with the centaur?" Raine asked more specifically, she knew the three of them went to deal with this matter and she hoped that nothing bad would happen again.

"Jedrek had other ideas for them," Torak said with a hint of sigh behind his sentence.

"Will he kill them?" Raine asked worriedly. She didn't want to see another dead body, but in a war, that was not something that she could avoid.

Though Raine looked calm most of the time, but she couldn't stop herself from over thinking about the upcoming war. She was afraid, afraid to death if she must be honest.

She was afraid to see people die, but most importantly, she didn't want to see the people that she knew get harmed, especially those people who were close to her.

"It depends on them," Torak replied, caressing Raine's head, he could feel his mate's anxiety and felt sorry because she had to face this.

However, the Alpha also couldn't wrap his head around the fact that Chiron had told them; the devils had the blood from the three guardian angels and now Serefina was on their side, those two things alone were a huge blow for them.

Not to mention with the possibility that they could lose the guardian angels during the war. It didn't help in the slightest with the plan that they were trying to draw.

"Jedrek offered something to Zarrn and whether the whole kind of centaur will receive the punishment or not, it will depend on how Zarrn would convince his fellow centaurs to really pledge their loyalty to Jedrek," Torak explained.

Raine turned gloomier when she heard that. "I feel like Jedrek was pushing them too hard, I meant, loyalty and respect are something that you should earn, aren't they? You can't force it," she murmured.

"That's right," Torak said softly and kissed her head. "But, different situations need different solutions and sometimes we have to resort to forcible means to keep everything in track."

Raine hugged Torak's arm tighter, she tried to understand everything that she got to hear from her mate.

At that time, Torak tilted his head toward the direction from where a certain someone would appear soon, and sure enough Calleb came running hastily toward Raine with a silly grin on his face.

"Raine!" Calleb called her name cheerfully and upon seeing the big smile on his face, Raine found herself smiling too.

"What is it?" Raine squealed when Calleb scooped her up and twirled, while hugging her happily. This scene produced a frown of anger on Torak's face.

"I talked to Rosie and later I will meet her in the backyard!" he said happily. He needed someone to share his happiness. "I think I need to freshen up myself and change my clothes!"

Raine giggled. "Good, tell me what happened, okay?"

historical

"Sure!" Calleb said and put her down. The Gamma looked like a happy child, who received his Christmas gift early. "Talk to you later, Raine!" he kissed her cheek and ran.

Raine was surprised, but didn't mind it at all, yet when she turned around she came face to face with a grumpy Torak, who was watching Calleb's retreating figure with a dark face.

"He is courting death," Torak grumbled.
