The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 393 - DON'T BLAME YOURSELF

Raine couldn't comprehend what Serefina was saying, but actually her heart had known it, it just her brain wasn't able to discern the information right away.

"What, why?" Raine turned to look at Aeon. His jagged breath made her scared.

"It is the consequences that he has to face." Serefina explained patiently.

It was weird when Serefina and Torak became very understanding. Raine was afraid because of their behavior now.

"I don't understand." Raine shook her head and her tears were threatening to fall again.

"He traded his life for Torak's." Serefina sighed deeply. "I think that is not the smartest decision, but it definitely the bravest one. We could try another method, but he chose the fastest. Sacrifice."

However, if Aeon didn't do what he had done, this battle this time, without Torak, even Serefina doubted the result would be the same.

The presence of their Alpha for Lycanthropes was a boost for their courage.

"No???" Raine looked at Aeon with fear in her eyes when her mind, finally, could register the information. "No…"

It was the sacrifice? Aeon had traded his life with Torak's?

Raine was unsure if she knew it sooner, she would prevent Aeon from taking that action. It was true that she wanted Torak to come back to her, but she didn't want for Aeon to suffer also.

Raine didn't hate him. She just didn't want Torak and Aeon to kill each other, thus she chose to ignore him, because Torak didn't like it when she was close to him.

"I am sorry… what should I do?" Raine sobbed and then she looked at Torak, pleading. "Torak what should we do? We have to safe him."

In her heart, Raine would always turn to Torak whenever she felt helpless like this, because her mate was the only person who could fix it. He always has a way, right?

Seeing the pain in his mate's eyes, it clutched Torak's heart with the same pain. He walked closer to her and knelt behind Raine, still giving some space for both Raine and Aeon, as he extended his arms and caressed her head tenderly.

"I am sorry my love, but there was nothing that we could do…" Torak's statement was like a final verdict.

"But… but…" Raine then turned her pleading gaze toward Serefina, "You can do something, right?"

"My dear…" Raine didn't want to hear this endearment. "…nothing we can do."

Raine stared in disbelief as she watched how Calleb and Raphael avoided her gaze, they turned away their head from Raine in guilty.

That wasn't the reaction that Raine wanted.

"Raine…" there was a soft voice, very feeble. "…it's okey." Aeon stretched out his shaky hand and touched her cheek. There was a small smile on his lips. "I am okey now, this is my decision… there is nothing to do with you…"

"I am sorry… tell me… tell me what can I do to help you. Tell me…" Raine's sobs turned into a cry, her tears fell rapidly on his finger as he wiped them away.

"Don't blame yourself… I can't be helped from the beginning." Aeon remembered how he had traded his soul to the devil, just to live for one more time, to meet Raine.

And now, he had met her, Aeon shouldn't be so greedy for asking more.

He deemed to perish since the first moment he sealed the deal with Lucifer.

Whether he traded his life with Torak's or not, his end was clear from the moment he was betrayed by Lucifer.

Though he could be with Raine, Aeon highly doubted Lucifer would be so generous to let them lived a happy life.

This was the right thing to do. At the very least, Aeon knew Torak would have done everything for her. He loved her badly and so did Raine.

It was a painful reality, but also the most relief one, because Raine wouldn't be alone anymore and Torak would always be with her, to protect her, to love her.

The pain was so excruciating over time, yet the more painful thing for him was still to see the tear in her eyes.

"I am sorry…" Raine mumbled. She wanted to say another thing other than 'sorry', but she just couldn't find the right words to say. "I am sorry…"

"Don't be…" Aeon leaned over and kissed her forehead tenderly, relishing her scent for the last time and how soft her skin against his chapped lips. "I hope you well…"

Torak saw it, but instead of feeling jealous, the Alpha could understand Aeon's pain. He had to admit it that the shadow warrior's feeling was genuine.

After Aeon kissed her forehead, he looked at Torak and spoke between his ragged breathe. "Can you help me…?"

Torak moved closer to the shadow warrior. "Yes."

They looked at each other eyes for some time before Raphael stepped forward and helped Raine to stand up.

"You better don't see this…" Raphael whispered to her ear as he turned Raine's head from Torak and Aeon.

"Why?!" Raine struggled to free herself from Raphael. "What they will do?" She looked at Torak and Aeon, who was facing each other, kneeling on the ground like an old friend.

"He has to be destroyed, or else the devil will be able to use his soulless body." There was sadness in Serefina's voice, though she explained it bluntly. She always like that no matter what the situation. "He had a deal with the devil after all."

"No!" Why they should destroy him!? Wasn't he already suffering so much?! "Don't do that!"

"It is that or he will suffer more in Tartarus. He belongs there after all the decision he had made." Serefina looked at Raine straight in her eyes.

That fact hit Raine so hard as she cried her eyes out and hugged Raphael tightly. "I am sorry… I am sorry…" Raine felt this was her fault.

Raphael turned his body, so Raine's back was facing the Torak and Aeon, thus she wouldn't be able to see anything.
