Chapter 1058: A dangerous move
Chapter 1058: A dangerous move
Inside the transparent cage, Raine and the beast were completely unfazed by the rioting that was happening outside, as if this trap was the only existing world? and nothing else was more intriguing to focus on, except the two of them.
The beast's deep growls still suffocated her, forcing Raine to back off, but what the guardian angel did was quite opposite, she shuffled closer to it while taking one step at a time, as the beast began to growl ferociously, as if warning her not to come any closer.
Raine ignored all of that, however, the panicking crowd outside grew anxious when even Belinda, who just came over, couldn't break off the magical formation? surrounding them.
Raine also didn't understand why Belinda or the magicians couldn't do it, but there wasn't enough time to ponder over all of that when the guardian angel's focus was solely trained on the beast before her eyes right now.
"Calleb, come here..." Raine stretched out her hand toward the brown beast, saying in a hoarse voice like someone who was pleading. "I know what you're going through right now and I'm sorry there's nothing I can do to help you…"
Raine swallowed, feeling the bitterness stuck in her throat as she heard the beast let out that pitiful howl once again.
A howl that seemed like he was calling for someone who couldn't possibly answer him back. So painful and torturous.
"Calleb, I know you are there, answer me ... talk to me," Raine said in a persuasive tone, her hands outstretched, intending to touch the side of the beast's face, but the brown beast barked, his eyes changed into a darker shade of red, filled with anger.
But, what Raine saw was despair...
"Calleb, don't you love me? Don't you want to talk to me?" Raine started sobbing seeing Calleb like this.
Raine had never thought that she would see Calleb, whom she had considered as a big brother figure, at the lowest point in his life, until he forgot his true self, losing to his beast instincts.
"Calleb, it's me... Raine. Don't you recognize me?" Calleb in Raine's memory was a person who could turn any type of situation cheerful, a person who had a bright soul and was not filled with hatred like the figure that was portrayed by his beast now.
The guardian angel tried to speak to Calleb, her hand still outstretched, but she was no longer trying to approach him, Raine waited for the beast to approach her first and take the initiative to be touched.
But, it was not an easy task.
Because just then, the beast started baring its fangs at the guardian angel, staring at her as if she was an enemy with a gaze that was filled with vengeance.
However, Raine knew that his beast wouldn't attack her, she couldn't explain this feeling and only knew about it, because if he wanted to attack her, he would have done it right after she stepped into the cage. He should have attacked her by now if he intended to, instead of backing away from her touch.
The beast only seemed to warn Raine to stop approaching him, but despite all of the warnings, the guardian angel chose to do the opposite and this left the beast in a dilemma.
The way he acted was what prompted Raine to urge Calleb to regain control over his senses.
Because if the beast didn't want to hurt her, it would mean that Calleb realized that the one in front of him was his closed one. The beast recognized the guardian angel, but no one knew what degree of attachment it would require to keep the beast from tearing apart the guardian angel's body.
Raine solely relied on the fact that the beast knew her and all she had to do was reach for the Calleb she knew within himself, his human side that he had buried deep behind the rage and despair of the death of his mate.
"Calleb..." Raine called out, to someone she cared about, gently and when she was sure that she was safe to take another step forward again.
The beast was within her arms length? and her fingertips brushed his soft fur for a second, before the beast growled viciously at her again.
But this time, the beast backed away, avoiding Raine's touch. His large head shook his head violently, as if he wanted to maintain his anger facade that almost collapsed.
Raine knew that he was close to grabbing his conscience back, so she took another step closer to him.
"Calleb..." Raine continued to call his name softly as a tear fell down her cheek.
Raine then took one more big step before she fell to her knees and sat in a very vulnerable position...
If the beast wanted, he just have to stretch out his claws and cut Raine's neck in one swoop and take the Guardian Angel's life away in the blink of an eye.
However, he did not do that, he barked again, warning the girl in front of him, whose body looked very small compared to his, to step back and stay away, indicating that he did not want to hurt her.
That was when Raine did another daring act, which left everyone who was there scream at the top of her lungs, warning her to stay away.
Belinda and Sybil shrieked with immense fear on their faces and they tried their best to break down this magic barrier, but their frenzied desperation couldn't yield the results they wanted.
Because of what they saw; Raine, who had plunged herself to her knees, was in a very vulnerable position and a very high chance of being killed, leaned forward and embraced the beast's neck, instead of staying safe, as if the huge monster was not a serious threat.
As if he couldn't kill her with just one strike of his.
Or maybe the beast wouldn't kill her...
And, Raine just made this very clear to everyone present, because when she put her arms around the beast's neck, the brown beast just growled and shook its neck, trying to get rid of this annoying little creature in front of him.
However, not once did he make a move that would endanger the Guardian Angel's life in any way.
