Chapter 979 - WHAT SOUND WAS THAT?
Torak Donovan.
That one name got stuck in Raine's head, from the first time she heard it in her apartment, even when she went back to her home and after having a dinner with her parents, all she could think was that name.
Who was that person?
No, of course she knew, she had done a little investigation on her own and knew that Torak Donovan was the owner of the Donovan Company, the most amazing billionaire, a man with countless achievements and ecetera…
However, that was not what Raine was looking for… what she wanted was not some public made information like that. There was something more… there was something strange every time she heard his name…
But, why?
What was this pain in her heart whenever she heard that name on the news or saw him on the morning newspaper that her father read?
The longing feeling that she couldn't understand… as if Raine had lost something precious… an important detail, or… memory…
"Raine?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer mother's soft voice brought Raine back to reality and forced her to smile at her. "Yes, mom?"
"Are you daydreaming? Help me with the fruits and give it to your father." Her mother laughed and handed her a knife and two apples. "Are you seeing someone now?"
"No," Raine denied it too fast and then she blushed, thinking of Aeon. Her parents didn't know about Aeon's existence even until now and she didn't have any plan to introduce him soon.
"Really?" Her mother wriggled her eyebrows suggestively and Raine laughed. "I don't mind if you are seeing someone…" she shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. "I've started dating when I was younger than you…" historical
Raine laughed again, but didn't say anything, because when she looked at her reflection on the stainless knife, she caught a glimpse of her neck and that weird feeling come back…
==============
Belinda kicked the door open after she made sure it was burned and charred, just like the other dragon people who had blocked her way and tried to stop her.
However, she wouldn't have thought that what awaited her was something beyond her wildest imaginations.
"Hai, Belinda…" Asmodeus waved her hands cheerfully at the witch. "May I know, where your sister is?"
Of course the devils could hear the commotion from outside the door, but they were in the middle of something more important, thus no one went out to help those poor souls that had turned into ashes.
Belinda stood at the doorstep, with fire circling around her body and eyes red, blazing with anger. She glanced at Hope and Raine on the bed, but to reach them, she didn't stand a chance…
What should she do then?!
While the witch's mind was busy thinking of a solution as she ignored the mocking remarks from the devils, she failed to realize something…
Something far more important...
On the other side of the room, Theseus was writhing on the floor, holding back his screams, but when the pain was almost unbearable, he yelled at the top of his lungs that attracted attention from all the beings present, including Belinda.
The witch was confused at first when she noticed how Theseus's body bent at a strange angel, but then when the realization hit her hard, she knew what was happening and her eyes widened in disbelief.
However it was too late. Belinda could already see the scales spreading on Theseus's human skin as his bones cracked before his back split and two pair of huge and strong wings appeared.
"Oh, no…" Belinda gasped loudly, covering her mouth when she watched the transformation of a Dragon shifter for the first time. "He is shifting… but, how…"
"Wow, it looks painful," Asmodeus grimaced, circling her arms around Belphegor's shoulders as she watched enthusiastically.
"It worked," Lucifer breathed in excitement, he could feel the glory of success in the palm of his hands as he watched the transformation ending on a successful note.
The dragon shifter was a magnificent creature and with those shiny and sharp scales on his body, which almost served as a shield, they were almost impenetrable.
With his huge being, the moment he spread his long pair of wings, it created a two holes on two opposite walls of the room. The beast shrieked and tried to move, but it only added more damage to the room.
"No, it can't be…" Belinda muttered to herself.
Even the other dragon people were flabbergasted to see the beast before their eyes, but a moment later they screamed with excitement and went out of control.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, years of waiting had ended and they could finally return to their original selves. Finally, they could see their beast and live up to their name as the dragon shifters.
And then without any hesitation, they willingly bear the pain of shifting for the first time. Their bodies bent at strange angles as they shrieked heart wrenchingly, but didn't stop.
With no time, the room could no longer accommodate those shifters, who started to shift into their beasts.
Therefore, with the flap of Theseus's wings, he tore down the wall beside him and created a huge hole on the wall.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Lucifer tilted his head at the witch.
==============
Sebastian could smell something burning when he reached the wing where the guardian angels' room was located, and he got a bad feeling even when he crossed the yards of the side of this place.
Guards couldn't be seen anywhere, even at places which were supposed to be stationed with high security.
The general quickened his steps when he reached the stairs and the burning smell became more prominent, but before he could reach the top of the stairs, he heard a sound of the wall being broken, as if there was an explosion and the walls shook along with a shrieking sound.
Sebastian stopped for a while, to await if something or some other creature that would attack him, while his eyes fixed on the vast space on the top of the stairs.
However, nothing happened for quite sometime and when he was sure nothing would come to attack him, he climbed the stairs again hastily and the shrieking sound became more intense.
If he thought it was only one creature before, now there were at least four or five and the number of sounds grew more and more.
What was sound that?!
