41 THE CURSE AND THE ANGEL

"What do you mean with that?" Calleb stroked the back of his neck that felt stiff. "What angel?" 

Not all supernatural creatures knew about the prophecy of the day when guardian angels got resurrected. Because after all, guardian angels were creatures that had been long extinct. 

And even fewer people knew about the promised that Selene, the moon Goddess, had given to the three Donovan's brothers about their mate. 

"You should read more, young wolf, to sharpen your mind." Belinda scowled as her hair turned grey as they were before. She looked at Raine in confusion. "So, what is the matter with her?" She pointed at Raine with her round chin.

Calleb was relief that finally Belinda didn't force her way towards Raine anymore, as the girl crept to his side and looked warily at Belinda. He felt pity for her, as Torak's mate she would shoulder the same burden like the Supreme Alpha himself. And judging from her current condition, there would be plenty of things to learn, and adjustments to do before Raine could be a decent Luna for all the Lychantropes.

"You better ask Alpha Torak." Calleb suggested. 

Raine has psychological issues, even though that was the truth, but it was not the kind of tale for anybody's to tell. Plus, to talk about it in front of her, would make anyone feeluncomfortable to have that kind of conversation. It's not that talking about it behind her back was acceptable either.

"Why should I ask Alpha Torak about this?" Belinda squatted down as well, so she would be in the same eye level asRaine. She looked at her and asked curiously. "You don't know what you are, don't you?"

Raine stole a peek at Belinda, confused with her question. 

What am I?

Right at that time, the same door that Belindaused to come through, suddenly opened. Behind the door, it was Torak who was standing with knitted brows, looking at Raine's direction.

With the sight of Torak's figure, Raine stood up hurriedly and dashed towards him.

"Arrgh! Don't!" Belinda shrieked upon seeing Raine's sudden action, her plump arms extended to stop the girl, but it was too late. 

Raine snuggled into Torak's warm embrace and for Belinda surprised, The Alpha didn't shove her away, he even hugged her tightly while stroking her black jet hair. 

"What is it my love?" Torak asked her tenderly, so softlythat Belinda and Calleb couldn't believe their ears, the middle aged woman's jaw dropped open.

Initially, Belinda thought Torak would despise Raine, it was well known that Lycanthropes hated weak creatures and a guardian angel could be considered as one. Lycans was very authoritative and arrogance, especially those with an Alpha blood. 

That was why, when she heard how Torak talked to Raine, she couldn't believe her ears.

"They are…" Belinda gulped, her eyes dilated by the sight of how careful Torak treated the angel, the Alpha could have snapped her slender neck in one breath if he wanted to. "…together?" She ended her sentence with question. 

"Yes…" Calleb stood up from the ground and grinned at Belinda, her face filled with shock. "Actually, not only 'together', they are mate."

"Nonsense!" The woman swatted Calleb's shoulder irritably. "The moon goddess cursed him to live without a mate."
