Torak didn't want to think that his brother would kill his own mate, because it looked like that's what he would do, the moment his mate appeared before his eyes.
Torak doubted the mate bond between Jedrek and his mate. Torak didn't think that it could stop him from killing his own mate. If that was the case, Torak didn't have a say to interfere, because he didn't want to have any clash with his own brother as long as he kept his own business to himself and didn't touch his mate.
Jedrek could do whatever he wanted to his mate, but once he issued an order for Lyrus to harm Raine, he would send that Lycan's head straight to Jedrek's castle.
Raine was looking at the scenery outside, seemingly, there was something that she was pondering over now.
She had grown pretty well under Torak's care, physically and mentally. Raine had gained more weight compared to the first time they met and had been more talkative.
