Love of the Monster

My Love

I was almost about to lose my faith

Was still dreaming but frightened it was too late

But then you came along to my surprise

And my heart before my very eyes

In the end it was Raphael who took the initiative to bring the two women out of the room, the Beta discussed the documents that Raine should take care of and informed him that someone else would be handling the next procedure.

While in the room there were only Torak and Raine, as well as the gray wolf, Torak slowly sat at the end of the bed, as the bed was creaking with its weight. This small thing took Raine by surprise.

Raine raised his head and looked at Torak with fear dancing in his black eyes.

"I'm not going to hurt you." Torak said without turning his gaze. "Please come here, we have to go." Torak extended his hand with heart.

Torak had never begged anyone before, but Torak begged Raine not to be afraid of him.

Raine stared at the huge Torak tanga and the gray wolf that was shrinking his head innocently while looking at him.

Raine had seen wolves before, they were rarely seen and had never attacked him all this time, unlike the other creatures, but saw these gray wolves, he said, Raine can still feel his heart beating very fast.

The size of this creature is three times larger than the normal size of a wolf.

Torak followed Rained's gaze. "clean." He ordered Calleb to change.

Calleb steps aside, disappearing from Raine's sight before he finally reappears in his work shirt.

Scratching her non-itchy head, Calleb gave Raine a warm smile. "Hallo Raine, my name is Calleb."

Raine's eyes were round in surprise, his lips slightly opened. Raine never knew that they could change into human beings.

"Calleb, you can wait outside." Torak said while observing the expression of Raine's face.

This girl was surprised, but it was obvious that this was not the first time Raine had met a shape shifter.

Calleb gave a mischievous whimper to Raine before he closed the door of his room.

"We have to go now, my love.." Torak said with a very ox, his tone changed drastically when he spoke to Raine.

Torak sighed when he saw Raine's reaction. Ignoring the discomfort that Raine felt, Torak moved forward until his chest touched Raine's knee and made the girl very frightened.

"You are my partner Raine. and no creature will hurt his partner, no matter how evil they are." Torak saw Raine right in his eyes. "Don't be afraid of me, I'll never hurt you. I'll never let anyone hurt you."

It had been a very long time since the last time someone had looked at Raine as gently as Torak treated him now, without judgment and hatred.

Over the past eight years, Raine has grown accustomed to how people around him see him.

Especially when they put her in a mental hospital, she was the mentally ill girl. They've been avoiding Raine like a tumor ever since.

They gave a hateful and strange look as if Raine had grown three heads and would give a look of contempt to her. But, this stranger in front of him was very different.

His eyes implied his worry for Raine and for a very strange reason, Raine felt very comfortable being around him.

Torak stretched out his hand and cupped his large hand around Raine's face. "Can you feel this?" Torak whispered in his hoarse voice.

A sensation.

Raine can feel an explosion like an electric shock on the surface of his skin when Torak touches it. This taste is not painful, but it just makes it ticklish, in a pleasant sense.

Raine felt this before when Torak hugged him earlier, but did not think this too far because of his fear. But now, when Raine could feel it clearly, this made Raine feel a warm sensation radiating around her face, a feeling that made Raine want to touch her again.

Raine feels safe with Torak.

"You feel it too, don't you?" Torak moved closer and touched his forehead with Raine. "Hurt you is like hurting myself and I would never do that." Torak whispered to Raine.

Her warm breath and the sensation of a touch of Torak make Raine feel calmer.

"Now, will you go with me?"

Raine nodded.

Her body answered even before her mind could process that answer, but if Raine had to think about how she had lived this past year in an orphanage, Raine knew that she would not regret her decision.

Raine trusts Torak and this is very strange, but at the same time, Raine knows that this is the most appropriate decision he must make.

The soul bond between them began to form.

"Good." Torak pulled himself away from Raine and smiled very happily, just looking at that, Raine felt that he was being hypnotized because he could not take his gaze away from Torak. "We have to go now, my love."
