Raine peeked at Torak from behind his basketball cap, wondering why Torak suddenly stopped walking.
They were now standing in front of the door, Torak's hands halted in midair, as if he was about to turn the doorknob while his other hand was hugging Raine's waist protectively.
With the height difference between them, Raine could easily glance towards Torak's resolute jaw and see how beautiful this man beside him was.
His sea-blue eye color was a little dull while he continued to stare at the door knob with a blank look.
Raine very rarely met new people when he was in a mental hospital. But, even when Raine met people in the orphanage, Raine was afraid to see the look in their eyes that mocked, they thought that he was crazy and always scorned Raine because of it, because of that, and every time Raine was scared when he saw the terrible creatures around him.
Despite the lack of interaction he has with others, Raine is very confident, with the face Torak has, he will be able to get whichever woman he wants very easily. Easy to move his finger. He's a very interesting guy.
Raine was gobsmacked by Torak's attraction until he didn't realize the man had looked back at him with a small smile on his lips.
"What are you looking at, my love?" Torak asked in a light tone when he saw his face turn red and immediately lowered his head.
Raine is the type of girl who will blush until her neck and ears are red, and that is what is happening now.
When the heat spread across his face, the sensation that Raine felt on his chin because Torak touched him, was not helpful at all, the man wanted Raine to raise his head and look at him.
"Don't hide from me." Torak furrowed his brows while sweeping Raine's lower lip with his thumb. "You don't understand how long I've been looking for you."
Raine finds it hard to hear what Torak has to say to her, especially when she is busy trying to calm her heart that is beating loudly.
After saying that, Torak took her away from the room.
Just like before, by the time they stepped out, Raphael and Calleb were already waiting for them outside the door.
But this time the situation is different. There were so many people around them and Raine didn't like it.
This crowd, four times denser than when they went to the art museum this afternoon.
The atmosphere became tense and made breathing difficult. From the hallway on the second floor, where the elevator stopped, Raine could see the main lobby, which was one floor below they had been crowded by reporters.
They all called the name Torak, asking questions that were difficult to digest. Their voices buzz painfully in Raine's ears.
The feeling in the cherubim and in contact with many people that Raine did not know made him almost affected by panic attacks.
[Who is behind all this? Jared?] Torak communicated with Raphael through the mind-link while glancing towards the crowd in the main lobby with his cold gaze.
[Bad!] the Torak grip on Raine's waist tightened while it would change color from blue to black for a moment.
[What did he have until he was so brave about doing this?!]
[We are still investigating it.]
Haco was a shape-shifter and he ran one of the most famous and influential media in the land Torak visited.
Unfortunately, seventy percent of Torak's territory does not cover most of the country, of which Haco is an influential figure.
Actually, the two were never in the opposite situation, but since Haco had started such reckless action, this could only be interpreted as one thing; Haco had obtained important information that he could use against Torak.
After living for hundreds of years along with the power he gained, Torak has gained many enemies as well.
And the most important thing right now, Torak's current enemy will be Raine's enemy as well.
Not to mention that they knew that Raine was a guardian angel.
Torak glanced at Raine, who was grasping her front shirt tightly. Torak could not see the facial expression Raine made because the tip of the hat he was wearing covered his face, but Torak was sure that this girl was very frightened.
"Here, Alpha." One of the Torak fighters showed me an alternative way out and led the way.
Quickly, Torak placed his hand under Raine's thigh and carried it. "Focus on me." He whispered into Raine's ear as he rubbed the girl's cheek with his nose.
Raine did what Torak said. He put all his attention on this man, who was carrying him.
Naturally, Raine wrapped his arms around Torak's neck and placed his head on the curve of his neck, smelling the distinctive scent of Torak
Raine doesn't know what parfume Torak uses, but he likes it.
After coordination between the Torak people and the hotel, they all managed to get out of the hotel without getting into any significant trouble.
At the exit, they meet another Alpha who has attended a meeting with Torak. Then they left in their cars.
But, suddenly Raine felt someone scratch the back of his hand and pierced his skin and made Raine gasp and raised his head.
Torak felt the discomfort that Raine felt and saw his grimacing face. "What's wrong?"
