65: A GOLDEN FLAKE

A GOLDEN FLAKE

Torak rarely dealt with his warriors, most of the time it would be Raphael and Calleb who handled them. He would only familiarize himself with his personal warriors, who most of them were Lycans.1

Hence this Mathias' name didn't ring a bell in his head. 

"Something had happened to Mathias' mate. She had been missing for two days before the attack." Raphael explained the Alpha.

"We have investigated what had happened to her and their close friend said that Mathias told him that his mate had been attacked brutally by some werewolves on the same day when Jenedieth escaped from the dungeon. Since then, Mathias wasn't like himself." Calleb added.

Torak discerned the information in his mind, trying to put the pieces of the information together. His silence was a command for them to keep talking.

"It's understandable, giving the fact he had just lost his mate." Calleb was the one who did the talking."But, when I investigated the place where Mathias' mate was being attacked, I found this." He fished out something from his pocket and handed it to Torak.

It was a small golden flake that glimmered under the lamp light. Torak held the flake between his fingers. 

"Dragon scale." Torak recognized the piece. 

"We're thinking the same thing." Raphael said. He was a little bit antsy with Torak's confirmation. "After all these years, the Dragon people have been keeping themselves a low profile, however during the war between Lycanthropes and Demons, their kind pledged their allegiance towards the Demon's side."

"And when they got a sniff of the outcome of the war and didn't favor those Demons anymore, all the Dragon people changed sides…" Calleb looked at Raphael. "I read that, was that true?"

After all, the young Lycan had not lived long enough to know the real story. Among the three of them, the only living Lycan who experienced the war was only Torak.

"They are more cunning than that." Torak didn't offer any explanation behind his statement, he just gave back the small flake of the dragon scale to Raphael. "Arrange my meeting with their Lord, I want an explanation."

It was so daring of them to trespass his territory and kill his people. This was an atrocious act and he wanted retribution. 

With that being said, Torak opened the door of his room and disappeared behind it.

"So, we are going to meet with the Dragon Lord?" Calleb raised his eyebrows. "I heard those Dragon people don't have a good temper."

Raphael looked back at the Gamma while rolling his eyes. "No matter how bad their temper, they are nothing compared to our Alpha."Calleb shuddered when he remembered how easy Torak crushed Mathias' head. "Yeah, you're right. I get the point."
