Raine was deep in thought when she walked towards Lyne's bedroom. Aire had quickly briefed her on what happened before she went inside Boris' room, and she was honestly surprised at how the situation turned out.
Aire insisted that it was destiny that Boris ended up in their hands. That way, he happened to find his mate, Lyne. But Lyne would never…
She let out a sigh as she stopped before Lyne's door. Mustering up the courage, she knocked.
"It's me…"
The door opened, revealing Aire as she smiled at Raine, "Hello, Mommy."
"Hmm, the little pup is here. Why don't you go out first and play with Uncle Levi or Aunty Mia, dear? Mommy needs to talk to Aunty Lyne in private."
Aire nodded with a smile. She then left the room immediately.
Raine then walked towards Lyne on her couch. She sat beside her, grabbing Lyne's hands before gently squeezing them in reassurance.
"What's going on, Lyne? Why are you hiding here?" Raine asked.
"I'm scared, Boss. That werewolf called me his mate…" Lyne stuttered. "What if I… turn? We all know werewolves would do anything to have their mate with them. Unless I…"
Sensing her distress, Raine patted Lyne's head before then pulling her in for a hug as she gently stroked her hair.
"Don't you dare kill yourself over such small matters, Lyne. You know how your life is very precious," Raine whispered. She knew the exact words that Lyne was having a hard time finding. Either they killed the werewolf, or Lyne killed herself before that werewolf took her or turned her into his mate.
"Don't worry too much about it. Don't you know me at all? I won't let anything happen to you. I will not let that rascal take you, especially if it's against your own will, Lyne," Raine reassured.
There was a reason why Lyne was acting like this. Lyne had already lost her father, the most important person in her life, at the same time that Raine's father fell into a coma. During the fight, Lyne's father, who was a part of her father's elite team, had been mercilessly torn to pieces by a werewolf named Danos. As a result, Lyne hated werewolves, especially so amongst other mutants.
Though Lyne was trying her best not to hate all werewolves, keeping her rationality that not all were bad had been hard. Even so, Raine understood Lyne's feelings… The word 'mate' the rascal uttered earlier had greatly affected Lyne. More often than not, female humans ended up being werewolf mates whether they liked it or not. Being with a werewolf, or worse, becoming a werewolf herself, would be the worst thing that could ever happen to her.
"Lyne, you must understand. Not all werewolves are bad. Look at Aire. Maybe Aire was right about Boris. I mean, you guys can probably talk it out and come into an agreement or something. She's vouching for him, so I'm sure that werewolf won't force himself on you," Raine whispered.
"I know that, Boss. It's just that I… I can't see myself turning into one of those monsters that killed my father. What if Aire was wrong? What if he forces me to turn?" Lyne whispered, fear engulfing her whole body. Yes, she was a skilled fighter, but without their high-technology weapons against mutants, humans were pretty much next to nothing when compared to them.
"I heard not all werewolves turned their mates. There are some honorable ones that let their mate decide on whether or not they want to become like them," Raine consoled with a dash of humor, trying to lighten up the tension that she felt on Lyne's trembling body.
Lyne gently pushed against her Boss and, with a pout, complained, "Boss, stop teasing me like that! This isn't funny at all. You sound like you want me to consider this…"
Raine laughed, upping the teasing even more, "Ah, I'm sorry, Lyne. I couldn't help it! I told you to get a boyfriend back in the day, but you ignored all your suitors. If you're already married, then that werewolf would have never bugged you, even if you're his mate. Ah, wait, Boris could be handsome too beneath all of that mustache and beard, like Aire said. He can hide being a mutant and just keep his human form forever. Well, you can have that kind of an arrangement with him, right?"
Raine laughed, patting Lyne on the shoulder as she said, "Okay, I'll stop teasing you now. But stop worrying, okay? Just face Boris so that we can finally wrap things up against the Convel Society. Gather your strength and face your fears, Lyne. He won't be able to touch you even after we're done with him. Even then, I have no plans on removing that bracelet from his arm. I'll give you the authority on that, so you can decide what you want to do with him later…"
"But don't you plan on letting him live if he cooperated?" Lyne asked. She knew her Boss well. She was fair, so she was sure that their Boss would let Boris live if he would help them against the Convel Society.
Raine flashed a cunning smile, "I promised him that I wouldn't kill him if he cooperated with us, and I will keep my promise of not killing him… What happens after that will be up to you , Lyne. Besides, I'm the only one who made that promise. You didn't promise him anything, right?"
Lyne's face lit up in understanding. She knew exactly what her Boss meant.
"His life is already in your hands. I'll instruct Levi and Mia to remove all voice recognition recorded in that bracelet from us except yours once Boris gives us the information we need. You can deal with him later. Nothing and no one will ever question or stop you, Lyne."
"Thank you, Boss," Lyne smiled.
Raine then suddenly received a message from Levi as her eyes glimmered. She had a mischievous smile as she glanced at Lyne.
"What is it, Boss?" she asked.
Raine couldn't help herself. She wanted to tease Lyne a little bit more.
"Ah, it's just Levi. Our captive demands to have a makeover…"
"Huh?!" Lyne gasped.
"Doesn't it intrigue you to see what Boris will look like after getting all cleaned up?"
"Boss!" Lyne cried.
Raine laughed and added, "Ah, okay, fine… No more teasing. Come now, and let's go out, alright? Stop hiding in here, okay?"
Lyne nodded with a sigh. Getting up from the couch, she then went out of her room to follow her Boss.
'Why would that werewolf even bother to get a makeover when I'll only kill him in the end?' Lyne thought to herself with a smug expression on her face.
