Raine furrowed her eyebrows when she heard the way Aeon answered her, but she didn't ask him any further.
They continued walking for a few more minutes before they reached a staircase, leading them down.
"Wait." Raphael held Raine's hand before she could take a step to go down the stairs.
"What?" Raine turned around and Raphael pulled her behind his back as he faced Aeon.
"Are you scared?" Aeon asked Raphael in a mocking tone. He didn't know why the Beta stopped him, but he didn't want him to waste his time.
"What are you up to?" Raphael confronted the shadow guard. "Do you want to kill all of us?"
Raphael's statement erupted growls from the two Alphas behind them, they were ready to attack Aeon if it weren't for Calleb who held them back and convinced them to let Raphael talk to Aeon.
