The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 1074: This is the time (2)

It was not until then did Lilith realize that Raine had stopped the time around her.

"Do you think this cheap trick can work against me?" She laughed and teleported Raine and herself away from Torak and Calleb. "Don't you know that we have your blood?"

However, a similar smug smirk crept onto Raine's lips as well.

"That's right." Raine tightened her grip on Lilith's wrist. "My blood is indeed on you all. That's why, you should be worrying now as I will be taking back what is mine."

Raine said with determination in her voice. This time she knew what exactly she was going to do, there was no hesitation whatsover...

She understood very well what she had to do and what would come with the completion on her task.

Her love for Torak and all the pain she had endured. The sorrow that she had to experience. All of that happened for a reason and it was almost like only now Raine could see a light in the end of this dark tunnel, the understanding came just like that...

Nothing mattered to her now except to end all of this... Even her feelings for Torak.

Because to save her mate's life, was also an act of love, right? No one would be left alive if they failed now...

There would be no story to be told when the devils managed to take over this realm...

"Why are you smiling?" Lilith tried to crush Raine's slender neck, to erase the smirk from the guardian angel's face, yet she couldn't do that, as if all of her strength had suddenly gone. "What do you mean?"

And it took less than a minute for panic to set in the devil's expression when she realized that she couldn't teleport herself and she was stuck in her current place.

The time stopped, but she should be able to move freely, also the minions that she brought. However, whatever happening now was not at all in line with what she had expected.

Lilith was consciousness enough to understand that the time had been stopped, but she couldn't move her body and the same thing also seemed to happen to her minnions.

How could this be happening?

This is impossible... This couldn't be...

Lilith stared at the guardian angel in front of her, with anxiousness written all over her face when she realized what she was facing right now.

"I'm taking back what is mine," Raine repeated her words and then, slowly, realesed her neck from Lilith's grip, taking one step back. "You never thought that I can do this, did you?"

Raine tilted her head and stared at Lilith, who stayed in the same position with her hand stretched out.

"What are you doing?!" Lilith exclaimed loudly.

"I think you should have been wary when making a deal with a witch, especially a witch like Serefina," Raine mumbled, but loud enough for Lilith to hear her. "Serefina's intention to give our blood to you was not just because she wanted to create a connection between your realm and Hope's, but also to give me access to do this..."

Raine snapped her fingers and one of the creatures from hell that was closer to them burst into dust, followed by the others.

"Aargh!!!" Lilith screamed when she noticed that another creature had ended up with the same fate and disappeared like it was nothing, leaving no trace of its existence.

"You have been warned," Raine said viciously and walked closer to the devil. "I will take back what is mine..."

Lilith's eyes widened in disbelief when she watched with her own eyes at the things Raine could do. It was impossible for Raine to be so powerful like this, right? She literally had them in her grasp.

That d*mned witch!!!

She fooled all the devils!

They would never thought that this was what her true intention had been! She planned their destruction with the guardian angel's blood and they took it gladly without knowing that would be the first step of their downfall.

Raine was right, the witch was very cunning and the devils indeed underestimated her for thinking that they could control her.

They were wrong. Totally wrong!

"Do you think by having our blood, you can have our power for free without any consequences?" Raine raised her brows and chuckled, yet when her laugh died down, the only thing that could be seen on her countenance was fury.

Hell hath no fury like a raging mad guardian angel...

"The devils took the people that were dearest to me and you think I will be so kind to let you take more after that?" Raine's voice dropped into a vicious whisper.

Raine then stretched out her hands and traced her slender fingers on Lilith's face, neck, shoulder...

"You took Raphael... Lana... Serefina... Rossie... Ian... and many more..." She traced Lilith's outstretched arm.

"What? Do you think you can kill me?" Lilith said grimly. She hated how Raine was touching her, but couldn't do anything. "You can't kill me."

"I am aware," Raine replied solemnly. "But, I can still do this."

Raine put her hand on the back of Lilith's and stared deeply into the devil's eyes, and for some reason Lilith felt fear at the sight before her eyes, or more precisely what Raine could possibly do to her.

There was something in the way the guardian angel was gazing at her.

"Don't you always think that your human figure is perfect?" And once Raine said that, green disgusting scales appeared on the surface of Lilith's smooth skin, spreading over her whole body and when it reached her face, the skin became even worse, with wrinkles and half peeled.

"Aarrggh!!!" Lilith couldn't help, but scream in fear. Her human figure faded away, and was replaced by her true form. Her devil's form. Her disgusting self.

"You will stay in this form. Forever." Raine shifted her attention when she caught sight of the white beast with a brown beast, running hot on his tail.

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

"Let's go... we have one last place that we needed to visit," Lilac said softly.

She freed herself from Jedrek and walked back the way they came in earlier, but before that, she took one last look at the book, which had now melted down, as if it was made of ice.

She wished everything would end well for the other guardian angels. They were just a step closer to finish their tasks and after that...

Lilac glanced at Jedrek, who had been staring at her. A complicated emotion was swirling in those deep black eyes.

However, before her feelings began to shake her determination, Lilac shifted her attention and walked ahead.

The mate bond was a blessing for other shifters, but it didn't seem to help or charm the relationship between Lilac and Jedrek.

It was a curse.

And Lilac would end this for both of them, since Jedrek couldn't do it. At least, this was the last thing that she could do...

Jedrek would be fine once she was gone and Lilac hoped that the mate bond which was binding them would also disappear along with her, so that he didn't need to endure any pain...

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

The darkness faded away from Hope's sight, though she was not sure whether she closed her eyes or not, but a ray of light could be seen at the end of this dark dream.

A white light.

Hope was not really surprised when she realized where she ended up now as she could notice the place that she was very familiar with.

In front of her was the last three devils, looking all confused and grim. The devils were not in their human form, but in their true form, which looked terrifying to the sight...

However, for some reason, Hope didn't even flinch with the sight before her eyes.

"Nice to see you here..." Hope smiled sweetly. Her complexion now was not pale anymore and she looked great, as if the figure on the sickbed was not her.

Hope was in her realm and she was in total control of everything inside this.

The last three devils stared at Hope with complicated expressions, as they felt a little bit weird to be in this white realm.

However, when one of them was trying to say something, Hope had waved her hands and silenced them.

"I wish you enjoy your time here," Hope said sweetly and watched gleefuly when the three devils before her eyes started to fade away, leaving her alone in this white realm.

Hope grinned mischievously, she felt great!

She no longer felt that she was very weak and exhausted like how she felt a few days ago. She could go back to Kace.

Hope couldn't help but feel excited when she thought about her mate, because Kace had been very anxious lately, knowing the lycan, his reaction was expected, it was already good enough that he didn't kick a fuss over it.

Hope felt bad for him.

"It's time to go then..." Hope mumbled.

However, her smile dropped when she finally realized something...

"What happened?" Hope looked around her, but she was still in her earlier position. Inside her realm. "Why can't I get out of here?"

Hope gulped hard when fear started to creep into her heart. She walked a few steps to look for something that she was not sure if it existed, like a door or a window that could help her go back to human world and return to Kace.

However, she found nothing, except for the infinite stretch of white color.

In the midst of all this, she heard a familiar voice calling her name. "Hope, you have done well."

Out of instinct, Hope turned around and found the moon goddess, who was smiling tenderly at her.
