Chapter 1051: Sweet moment
Therefore, seeing the Guardian Angel smile a little, made Raine feel a little relieved, at least whatever Hope was doing now, did not seem to be a bad thing.
"What did she do?" Raine asked curiously.
"You have to see for yourself," Lilac said in a more cheerful tone and quickened her footsteps.
This was the first time for Raine to realize that the tent that Lilac had built was so large that it took them some considerable time to get to the exit.
And as they approached the exit, Raine could hear the voices of people muttering and shouting aloud, however, she couldn't make out what they were saying.
Feeling a sudden burst of curiosity, Raine accelerated her footsteps, dashed past Lilac and pushed aside the curtain that served as the door.
That was when Raine realized what really happened out there...
The first thing that greeted her as she stepped out of the tent was a bright, blinding light that dazzled her eyes.
Automatically, Raine raised her hand and covered her face.
What is that light?
There is no way that it is...
"Look, Raine!" Lilac shouted next to her and several people shouted similar things, telling each other what was going on.
Only then could Raine catch their words.
"Sun!"
"Those strange clouds have disappeared!"
"This is really amazing!"
And the several others were also yelling almost the same things.
Slowly, Raine lowered her hand that was blocking the blinding light and blinked her eyes several times, trying to get used to it.
It was only then could she see how beautiful the clear blue sky was above them, being hit with the warm rays from the sun that was hidden behind the white clouds which resembled fluffy cotton candy.
This was the most beautiful sight Raine had ever seen after being in a state of depression for a long time under a sky filled with wisps of despair and an equally heavy atmosphere.
What they witnessed seemed to bring new hope to them after a long period of grievance, and Hope indeed did well.
Kace had indeed chosen a name that suited her perfectly.
Hope really had brought hope to all of them. They could feel warmth again which seem to be able to provide new energy and consolation for those who had lost someone that they loved or their comrade during this war.
"Yes, she did very good," Raine whispered softly, a contended smile etched on her lips as Lilac clasped her hand tightly.
"Yes," Lilac agreed. "But, you know it is not over yet, right?"
"Yes,"Raine answered softly. "But, for now, let's just enjoy what we still have."
The blue sky above them reminded Raine of Torak's blue eyes, she missed them and the way the Alpha looked at her.
They didn't have much time together as they have tons of things to do and make sure that the few people survived so far, got the much needed attention they deserve after the war with the devils.
And as if Torak felt the same way, he soon appeared together with Jedrek next to him.
The two of them had disappeared to set up a strategy and survey their surroundings, forming a perimeter with the few people they had.
But, when this amazing thing happened, the first thing that came to Torak's mind was to pull Jedrek out of whatever he was doing to avoid Lilac and the reality that Serefina was gone.
Torak forced Jedrek to stop everything he was doing and follow him because he knew Raine would be with Lilac for sure.
It was not that Torak wanted to get them together or like trying to make things better between them, it was just that he didn't want internal problems between them to affect the decisions or actions they would take in the future.
They were no longer a pair of emotional teenagers, so they should face this like the grown ups they were.
Because the lycanthropes needed their king and queen, despite the internal troubles that were plaguing Lilac and Jedrek now.
Torak smiled warmly when he saw his mate chuckling happily, as she stared at the sky above them and as if noticing his presence, she turned toward him before their eyes met and the guardian angel started running toward him with open arms in the next second.
Of course, Torak caught her warmly when she jumped into his embrace and gave a sweet kiss on her cheeks, which were now flushed red.
If at first Torak wanted to ensure that Jedrek and Lilac solve their problem, or at least help them reach an agreement and understood each other even though the results might not not as good as they could expect, but when he felt Raine's body in his arms, Torak didn't care about the relationship quo between Jedrek and Lilac anymore.
Hell, they could take care of that themselves.
"Today is so beautiful," Raine laughed softly as her lips curved into a sweet smile. She wrapped her arms around the Alpha's waist while kissing the tip of his nose, laughing softly.
"You look more beautiful," Torak said softly and then carried Raine to the nearest tent and started kissing her passionately.
Raine was quite surprised by Torak's actions, but when she felt his warm lips on hers, Raine forgot everything else, closed her eyes and enjoyed their moment together.
Raine liked this. She cherished every breath that she took while being with Torak. Her mate. The only person who is hers and whom she belongs to.
Torak smiled when he saw Raine stopped protesting and started to wrap her arms around his neck as he pulled her closer.
Really, it was all truly, definitely tiring and he couldn't imagine how he was going through it all.
During these sweet yet small moments, all memories flooded in Torak's mind, as he deepened their kiss and the Alpha shared it with Raine through a mind- link.
Raine gasped when she saw her own reflection on the day of their meeting. More likely, on a cold night under the rain.
She saw herself, who shutoff herself from the outside world, covering her face with the oversized hoodie she was wearing.
For some reason, in Torak's mind, she saw herself as someone so fragile, but at the same time so beautiful in such a chaotic and pale state.
