The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 855 - THE DWARF

He was the same dwarf that had told Raine that she had a black soul, that was why she couldn't control her power yet, because she had been touched by something dark. He was also the one, who helped them when they have to leave the city.

The creepy dwarf looked exactly the same the last time Raine saw him. His big green eyes looked at Raine intensely and they still made Raine afraid to look into them straight.

"Do you know him?" Hope asked, whispering to Raine because she found the dwarf was quite disturbing with the way he looked at her. No wonder Torak stepped forward in order to shield his mate, halting the strange creature on his tracks.

"We met once in the past," Raine said.

"Oh, where are my manners," the dwarf started to jump up and down with excitement. "I forgot to introduce myself to you, another Luna," he said, his big green eyes shifted in Hope's direction and the guardian angel found herself trying to force a smile on her lips.

"I am not a Luna," Hope said. Kace didn't consider those people, who followed him here as his pack, therefore, he was not an Alpha, so Hope also was not a Luna.

"You are still a Luna in my eyes," the dwarf bent his body until ninety degrees in order to give Hope his utmost respect.

"Cut the crap," Kace growled. He knew him because he had met with the dwarf two or three time in the past, but there was nothing good that came up from meeting this particular creature. This creature always loved to talk nonsense.

"What are you doing here?" Torak asked sternly. "Calleb, take the girls inside," he said to his Gamma.

"Let's go," Calleb said to Raine and Hope, but Raine refused to listen to him.

"No, I want to talk to him," she said. In the past, Serefina prevented the dwarf to talk to her when he was about to say something important, thus she wouldn't let this chance go away like that anymore.

"Raine," Torak reminded her. "You don't need to listen to his nonsense." He stopped her from going any closer toward the dwarf.

"Oh, the Luna wants to talk to me," the dwarf clapped his tiny hands. Whether he was mocking Raine or it was indeed just his way to express himself, but people would misunderstand him with the way his cunning green eyes staring at Raine expectantly.

"I don't want you to talk to him," Torak said sternly to Raine, but the look in his mate's eyes told him that she wouldn't listen to what he said, at least not at this moment.

"No, Torak, I need to talk to him," Raine said, her voice neither loud or stern, but the determination in those beautiful eyes couldn't go unnoticed.

"You can't trust his words," Torak tried to argue with her.

"I will decide whether I can trust him or not after I heard what he said," Raine looked at Torak, pleading for her mate to understand why she needed it.

It was rare to see Raine wanted something and defied his words, therefore when Raine shook her head and stood her ground, Torak didn't have any other choice, but to let her do what she wanted.

"I will let you talk to him, but you still have to stay within my sight," Torak said sternly.

The dwarfs were well known for their unparalleled cunningness, when the war broke out centuries ago, they indeed didn't take any sides, but they sold information from one to another and made full use of the chaotic situation.

They did find the secret of the enemy, but that information won't completely reliable, some of it was, but some of it was not, since they would do everything to the one, who benefited them more.

They could be a double agent or even triple.

Therefore, Torak didn't want Raine to talk to him due to their natural traits. Knowing her soft hearted nature, Raine would be an easy target for the dwarf to spill nonsensical things.

"Alright," Raine agreed to Torak's insistence and then smiled softly.

"Luna, why don't you talk to me too?" the dwarf looked at Hope expectantly. "I have some useful information for you to hear too," he said.

"Why don't you just talk here in front of us then?" Kace narrowed his eyes at the cunning dwarf, completely disagreeing for Hope to go with this unreliable creature.

"You know the rule for the dwarfs," the dwarf said, rubbing his hands together, as if he wanted to show him that he was nervous of something, but of course that wouldn't be able to fool them, they could see clearly the excitement in the dwarf's eyes.

"I will be fine, you can still see me from afar," Hope said, as she patted Kace's shoulder to ease his tension. "Let's go."

Under their intense gazes, Hope, Raine and the dwarf walked a little bit further, but it was still within their sight, thinking those lycanthropes wouldn't be able to hear their conversation.

"Bring her back to Rosie," Kace said, as he passed Bree in his arms to Calleb.

Of course, upon hearing Rosie's name and getting an excuse to see her, the Gamma was beyond happy, but he was still worried about Raine.

Calleb looked at Torak hesitantly and the Alpha nodded, giving him his consent. Since Torak, Kace and Eaton were in control of the situation, it was highly unlikely that something bad would happen to Raine and Hope, right?

With that thought, Calleb walked with Bree in his arms to find Rosie, who must have been worried because she couldn't find the little girl.

However, when Bree rested her chin on Calleb's shoulder, her eyes darted toward the dwarf as she looked at him in interest.

"I like the dwarf," Bree said softly after moment.

"You don't know what you are saying girl," Calleb said, not taking her words seriously.

Meanwhile, when it was only the three of them, Raine questioned the dwarf. "Now, tell me what exactly do you mean with your statement?"
