The Love of a Lycan-Chapter 1135: Aurora (14)

"I just want you, that's it."

**************

"Where's Aurora?" Torak asked as soon as he returned to the pack house and he found Raine was standing on the terrace, waiting for him. His mate always looked beautiful and charming, even when she was worried like now.

This could be seen clearly by the way Raine frowned and smiled bitterly at Torak.

"She is in her room, Kayden won't let her go out to see Draghar." No matter what Raine said to her son, Kayden didn't seem to want to hear any reason why he had to release his sister from the confines of her room.

Not only that, Kayden even ignored Raine's anger, which was a rare event and Raine couldn't just force her will on her son, when she knew his intentions were good, it's just that their ways were contradictory.

"Maybe that's best," Torak said curtly, he then kissed Raine's forehead and was about to lead her inside, but his mate kept staring at the road, as if waiting for someone. "He's with Calleb." Torak knew who Raine was waiting for.

"What did he do with Calleb? He's fine, isn't he?" she asked.

Torak scowled when he heard the worried tone in Raine's voice. "You didn't even ask me how I was doing."

Hearing that statement, Raine didn't know whether to cry or laugh. "I've seen you in person and I'm pretty sure that you don't lack anything, my love," Raine said, giving Torak a sweet kiss on the cheek to ease his annoyance.

And that helped quite a bit...

"Draghar will be leaving tonight," Torak said and when he saw Raine was about to open her mouth, he immediately added. "Aurora won't come with him." He knew what Raine was going to ask before she even said it.

"What? Why is that?" The wrinkles between Raine's brows deepened when she heard Torak's statement. "Did you tell him not to take Aurora away? Aurora will be very disappointed in you."

Torak then shook his head slowly. "No, the man himself decided and I think this is quite good." Torak thought for a moment and added. "Wise decision."

However, Raine didn't feel the same way. She felt it was totally wrong. How can you say it was the right decision when you have to leave your mate? Raine couldn't stop thinking about it.

"No, that's not true. How could he leave Aurora?" Rain shook her head. "Aurora will be very sad when she hears about it."

Torak was silent for a moment. He knew that this would be painful, but he also knew that Draghar was even too dangerous for himself. So how could he possibly allow potential danger to be around his daughter?

"Yes, Aurora will be sad. But, that doesn't mean they reject each other. That guy just needed time to control the beast inside him, and after that…" Torak didn't know what he was going to say next.

Separating two mates was a cruel thing. And when Torak realized that Draghar was Aurora's mate, he knew deep down, he would not be able to avoid the moment his little girl left him.

However, things were a little different… Draghar was not an easy person to deal with and Torak didn't want his daughter to get hurt.

"He will be able to control the beast within him. That's why he needs a mate. Wouldn't a lycan's mate be someone who would give them balance?" Even though Raine wasn't a shifter, that didn't mean she didn't know them well and the rules therein.

"Did you know that he almost marked our daughter without her permission? The beast in him wanted to mark his mate and he can't control that," Torak said. He could feel the irritation back in the back of his throat and he needed this as justification for his reasoning.

But, Raine, as usual, she always found a way to show Torak that what he believed all along wasn't always true.

"Torak, you marked me without my permission too…" Raine reminded him and she could see the memory flashing back in Torak's eyes and this made him flinch a little. "But I'm strong enough to get through it all when you think I'm not. Therefore, the same thing will happen to Aurora."

Torak clenched his jaw tightly. He was still reluctant to admit this.

"Aurora is not a little girl you have to protect constantly, she can determine what is good for her." Raine reached out and rubbed the side of Torak's face gently to make her mate felt better. "It's about time she made her own decisions."

"She's only seventeen," Torak said with a hint of despair, he felt his reasoning this time was very weak.

"I was seventeen when you found me…"

================

Draghar didn't have much to tidy up before his departure, but he lingered in the room anyway.

The thought that he had to leave his mate just as soon as he found her, was a very unpleasant feeling, to say the least. He's in a very bad mood right now.

But then Draghar smelled a scent he recognized before he even heard a knock on the door.

Luna Raine.

"Come with me," said Raine after Draghar opened the door for her and greeted her in a somber tone.

Raine saw that whatever wounds Draghar had in his fight with Torak, they had now fully healed and that was a good thing. She didn't want Aurora to see Draghar black and blue because of the fight he had with Torak. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

"Where to?" asked Draghar sceptically.

However, Raine didn't tell him and started walking down the corridor, so Draghar couldn't help but follow her until he realized that Raine was taking him to Aurora's room.

"You should at least tell her about your departure," said Raine. He then pulled Kayden who protested and was about to attack Draghar.

But, this time, Raine didn't let Kayden win the argument.

A moment later, Draghar stood pensively in front of Aurora's door, where he could hear his mate's hasty footsteps. Aurora must have known of his arrival.

"Don't open the door, let me talk like this."
