Chapter 31: Aire
Raine sighed as she watched Tyrone from her monitor. She was gambling on him, and she could only hope that it was a decision she would not regret later.
She pouted her lips and clicked her tongue as she scoffed, "How is he not afraid of me? He even answered this question blatantly in front of the camera. Did he really know that I would be spying on him like that? Ah... I’m probably going way too easy on him. Maybe I should show him how scary I can be sometime soon."
Raine shook her head before deciding to check up on the others instead, especially Stella. She made a video call to the hide-out. No one in their squad knew about Stella except Lyne, Levi and Mia. The only thing the other members knew was that Stella had died as well. Levi and Lyne had personally handled that situation on site.
It was Levi who answered her call, "Boss, do you want me there now?"
Levi greeted with a broad smile as soon as he saw Raine’s beautiful face on the screen. Her face never failed to make his heart thump hard as it had always done.
Raine chuckled, "No. You will stay there until you and Mia have trained Stella perfectly in controlling her shapeshifting. How is she?"
Levi scratched his head. With a pout, he mumbled, "Wait, Boss. I’ll connect you to her room."
"Hello dear," Raine greeted Stella on the TV screen of the girl’s room.
"Hello, Raine," Stella greeted back. Raine saw her holding a book in her hands, so she asked her, "What are you reading?"
