Chapter 984 - EVERY PIECE FELL INTO ITS PLACE

The barricade of flames that the fire bird had created to encircle all the area of this building, safe from the massacre of those dragon beasts.

It created high walls that surrounded them like a fortress. And, prevented their enemies to move closer to them and do more harm than they could face right now.

It was fascinating to see, but at the same time almost terrifying.

"My king.." Lyrus was lost for words, but he was not the only one.

Jack who fell to his knees earlier, thinking he would die from the heat alone, was still trembling in his crouching position, but when he finally realized that he was still alive, he couldn't even utter a single word upon seeing the sight that greeted him right after he lifted his head up.

What was that? He had never seen such a scene..

It was magnificent and frightening.. the Gamma couldn't even move a muscle. Not now..

Theo, who had lost his ability to say a word, since that night attack in the castle, could only look around him and take step a back, shivering.

Meanwhile, the other lycan warriors, who were trying to tell the king to back off and created a commotion among themselves, had turned silent. Their facial expressions' turned into one of an awe, as the sense of safety and faith crept in their hearts.

Seeing what Jedrek's power could do, there was still a chance for them to survive this..

Meanwhile, Jedrek still didn't budge. He kept his eyes fixed on the firebird that still continued to spew fire, fighting fire with fire, and within from this flame fortress it created, they could hear the roar of the dragon beast for his failed attempt to exterminate the remaining lycans on the battle ground.

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

Raine didn't know why she was crying when she saw the billionaire's personal assistant, it didn't seem like she knew him either, but there was something that stirred within her. It made her restless and feel utter despair. She couldn't explain it in words. Her emotions were all over the place and she wanted nothing, but to approach him, as though that was the right thing to do now.

However, what would she say to him? How could she explain herself for such a crazy act, yet her heart craved to see him, as if Raphael was someone that she had long been missing. He felt like a family... Like a brother that she had never had...

It was crazy, Raine knew, but she couldn't help it.

If it was not for Kai, who was still standing beside her and holding her arm which prevented her from storming out to chase after that man, Raine would have done the most stupidest thing in her life.

"What happened Raine?" he asked with his brows furrowed deeply. Raine was crying and it must be something personal. It was very rare to see her like this.

"I don't know..."Raine shook her head and wiped the remaining tears that still stained her cheeks, as she stared gloomily at Raphael's back that disappeared at the corner of the corridor.

Right at that time, from the corner of her eyes, she could see Aeon, standing near a big tree, in the yard. His features were covered in the shadow, but the sadness in his eyes was prominent, it made Raine remember what had happened six nights back, in the shadow realm.

Aeon had never visited her ever since...

The fact that the shadow warrior was here, he must have something to say to her and Raine was more than willing to talk about it.

"I am all right Kai," Raine shook her head to clear her mind. "But, can you go to the class first? I have something to do."Raine looked at her best friend, with a pleading gaze.

"No, I am not leaving you." How could Kai leave her when she was emotionally unstable like this.

"Kai, I need to be alone."Raine's tone was firm, but seeing the concern in Kai's eyes, her features softened. "Please..." she pleaded him softly.

For a moment, Kai wanted to rebut her, but he knew better that Raine was feeling a little bit off today, maybe some time alone for herself was all she needed. "I will wait for you in the class and if you didn't come before the class starts, I will skip the class with you." He winked at her playfully and ruffled her hair before he walked in the other direction.

Raine smiled at his gesture and sighed before she trudged to the spot where she saw Aeon.

The wind brisked gently against her skin. She loved the weather. It was serene and lessened the tension that she felt earlier. When she reached the spot where Aeon was, she called his name and he appeared from the shadows of the tree.

The two of them didn't talk for a moment, but then Aeon breached the silence between them. "Raine, I want you to go home."

"Hm?" Raine tilted her head, not understanding what he was saying. She thought he would appologize for what he did, but as it turned out, he asked her something that she didn't even think about. "Why?"

Aeon shuffled anxiously, his eyes looked down at the ground. He avoided looking into her eyes, as if he had done committed something outrageous.

"I want you to stay at home. The whole day." Aeon repeated his words, his eyes still didn't meet with hers. "Please." He was practically begging her with that tone.

"What happened?" Raine took a step closer and held his hands, squeezed them lightly, indicating her plea for him to look at her.

And Aeon did. But, at the same time, Raine could hear a deep low growl from behind her and Aeon became furious. Out of instinct, he pulled Raine closer to him and hid her behind his back, not wanting this intruder to see her.

However, it was too late, Raine had seen the red eyes of the other man and every piece that she was worried about finally fell into place...

Her lips pursed to whisper his name..

"Torak.."

And it brought all the memories back.
