The Love of a Lycan Chapter 958 – LOOK MORE A DEVIL THAN AN ANGEL

“To face them all,” Serefina said lightly and when Raine was forced to close her eyes because of the blinding light, the blue flowers around her disappeared from her sight.

The moment the light was slightly dimmed, Raine opened her eyes again and was greeted with yet another scenery that was on full display before her eyes.

Her first reaction was frowning. After all, the warm light of the sun shone brightly on her and turned the air surrounding them slightly humid.

“What?” Raine murmured. “Where are we?” Or, more precisely, what era did Serefina had brought her to? Because it had been weeks since the last time Raine saw the sun shining brightly in the sky.

However now, it looked like everything was normal, so the only explanation was; she was brought back to the time before the devils turned everything upside-down, including the weather.

Raine looked around her, but she couldn’t find Serefina, yet she noticed that she was in a park, where many families had brought their children.

All she could see now was smiling faces.

“Serefina!” Raine called out for the witch.

“It all started from here, right?” Serefina’s voice could be heard from behind her, as she stepped forward and stood beside Raine all of a sudden.

“Where are we?” Raine squinted her eyes, extremely suspicious of this witch.

“Don’t you remember?” Serefina asked in a low voice, but her green lime eyes were focused onto something ahead of her.

“Remember what?” Raine tried to study the witch’s expression, but just like her many previous attempts, she had failed in doing so yet again.

“There,” Serefina said, as she nodded her head at something in front of her.

Frowning, Raine followed the witch’s line of sight and saw something that made her eyes well up with tears.

“No way,” she whispered in disbelief.

In front of her, she saw the younger version of herself, being carried by her father, and her mother was walking beside him, happy smiles blossomed on their faces, while the little girl was sleeping with her head resting on the man’s shoulder.

Raine didn’t remember this, but judging from her age at this moment of time, maybe she was too young to remember anything.

But, no matter what, this must be the happiest memory of her life.

Out of instinct, Raine was about to walk toward them, but Serefina held her shoulder firmly, stopping her feet from bringing her to her family.

“What?” Raine asked her impatiently. She didn’t want to be stopped now, she wanted to meet her parents, memories of them had long been blurred in her mind, Raine was ashamed to admit that she had forgotten about how they looked like, but seeing them now, instantly flooded all the memories from the past in her head and the longing feeling that she was feeling now was unbearable.

“You are the guardian angel of time,” Serefina said in a calm, but clear voice. It was strange for her to act like this, even so she did now. “And time is a very dangerous thing.”

“What do you mean? Just tell me already, what do you want?” Raine’s patience was already running low.

Serefina didn’t answer Raine immediately, but she looked at her with a gaze that was difficult to decipher before she finally said, “you can change everything here. Save your family or whatever you want.”

“Really?” Raine raised her brows, she didn’t believe what she heard. Of course, if she was given a chance to save them, she would do so.

“But, it will change the future too,” Serefina added. She released Raine’s shoulder when she was sure that she wouldn’t go. “Sometimes, it will be a good thing, but sometimes it can be worse than what you can even imagine. Just remember, everything happened for a reason and you have to face it.

“You have to face your fears by not changing anything in the past, as it would affect the future. Only by doing this, you will understand why you had gone through all of that and free yourself from whatever scared you of or your regrets, only then can you return.”

But, just before Serefina’s figure faded away completely right before Raine’s eyes, she added a little bit more.

“You can also stay here if you like, but you know better than me that this is your past. Don’t dwell in your past too much.”

After saying that, Serefina left her alone.

At this point, Raine was all alone to make her own decision. At the same time, she felt like her life with Torak was a million years away from here, something unreal, as if she was dreaming about that life.

And it was the life before her eyes that felt more tempting to live.

The life with her happy small family…

==============  

“Broken angel?” Lilac frowned. “What do you mean by that?”

“You know that she has lived a far too different life from the two of you, with a mental trauma that she had to overcome. It was crucial for a guardian angel.” Nutdrouk touched his chest, right at his heart. “The heart of guardian angel should be pure. But, she is tainted.”

“I don’t think my heart is pure…” Hope murmured, she knew that she was not a saint, there was no way that her heart was pure.

However, the dwarf threw her a glare. “Of course, you three are not pure guardian angels, after all you are born as humans, with human emotions. But, Raine’s case is different.”

That was one of the reasons why Serefina had to bring her away from Torak’s pack a long time ago.

“I have told you everything, now let’s go back to the real world.” Nutdrouk patted his pants, even though there was no way for dust to acc.u.mulate in a place like this, and stood up. “Don’t forget your promise, your blood. Lydia had been waiting for that.”

Hope grimaced.

“What will you do with that blood?” Lilac stood up and stared down at the dwarf. “If you caused any more trouble with it, no matter how far you hide away, I will chase you down. Remember that.”

Nutdrouk took a step back. “You look more like a devil than an angel.”
