The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 831 - HEARTBREAKING MOMENT FOR HOPE

"How is she?" Jedrek asked Lidya and the healer, from the look on his expression, it was clear that he was barely holding back his frustration.

The king had never been in such a condition, where he lost his composure and showed exactly what he was feeling right at the moment.

And what he was feeling right now, was not any lesser than frenzied worry. He was worried about his mate, forgetting that an hour ago, he was forced to kneel in front of his enemies, his brothers and also in front of Serefina…

Even the fact that his ex lover had betrayed him, overlapped his worry for Lilac's well being.

The healer tried to touch Lilac's neck, wanting to see her mark, but she retracted her hand immediately when Jedrek growled deeply.

"Apologize your grace, I just want to see the mark," the healer fidgeted under Jedrek's sharp glare.

Because Lilac's long hair was covering the area where her mark was imprinted, Jedrek wiped the few strands of her hair gently and showed a beautiful mark, which still had a few bruises around it, but it had formed into an intricate white teeth mark just like a tattoo.

The healer didn't want to startle Jedrek again, thus she stretched out her hand more slowly this time and touched the area.

However, because of the pain, Lilac whimpered softly and this caused Jedrek to knit his brows. His eyes were still the color of red and his beast was barely under his control, therefore when he heard his mate whimpering, he quickly pushed away the healer's hand.

"What is it?" he asked grimly.

Around the room, there were a few guards, whom Sebastian had delegated here and also Eaton, who was standing close to the bed. Lilac was already kidnapped once, there was no way they would let the same mistake happen once again to her.

"She will be all right," the healer said. "She just needs a few days to recuperate, everything is fine and her mark also started to heal."

"Right, I don't see any dark magic lingering on or around her, but just in case, I will put some necessary spells around this room," Lidya said and she walked out of the room, because she had other things to do.

The witch nodded slightly at Jedrek then excused herself.

And after a few words from the healer and some questions regarding Lilac's condition, the healer also left the room to concoct a medicine for Lilac.

"I will be outside if you need me," Eaton said to Jedrek before he walked out of the room, yet the king only nodded without even sparing him a glance as his eyes were completely focused on Lilac's sleeping face.

There was a soft thud when Eaton closed the door, leaving the king and the queen alone.

"I am sorry, my little flower… I am sorry to cause you another harm." Jedrek laid Lilac down when he felt her breathing became even and the clutch on his front cloak had loosened.

==============

"Lock them inside the dungeon," Torak said to Alpha Brian. "Keep your eyes on them," he added, throwing a nasty look to Chiron and Carina.

The white clothes wrapped around Chiron's stomach had now turned the color of red because of the blood that kept oozing out from the wound.

The dagger that the devil gave to Chiron was indeed coated by poison, if it was Lilac who got stabbed instead of him, in her current condition, she would have died and the situation wouldn't be as calm as now.

Jedrek would have wreaked some havoc and Torak and Kace wouldn't be here to talk to the other lycanthropes.

"I understood," Alpha Brian's replied to his supreme Alpha. "What about him?" he tilted his head toward Zarrn.

"Lock him in a different dungeon." It was Kace who told Alpha Brian.

The Alpha was about to retort, but the look on Kace's face made him stop and he could only nod slightly without extending the matter.

Kace was fully blown from witnessing everything that conspired today and he was still trying to adjust his feelings.

On the other hand, Zarrn didn't protest when a guard pushed him to follow him into the cell where he would stay until god knew how long. If he was lucky enough, he would live there for eternity, but if what Chiron had committed couldn't be forgiven, this realm should put the centaur inside the list of the extinct creatures.

And Zarrn thought it was more likely for the latter to happen, he didn't have much hope for the former.

==============

Absolute silence engulfed Kace and Hope while they walked back to their bedroom, both of them only needed the accompany of each other.

And once it was only the two of them, Kace locked the door and pulled Hope closer to him as he hugged her from behind, resting his head on her shoulder, relishing her delicate scent, savoring the only moment that could put his heavy mind at ease.

Only at that time, he felt Hope's trembling body. She was crying. However, Kace didn't need to ask what was the reason of her tears, because he already knew it.

This was the first time Hope experienced a betrayal and the worst part was; it came from the person who was very close to her.

Hope always thought of Serefina more than her guardian, she was a mother figure for her and the witch had been raised her well enough to overcome all hurdles the life threw on to her path and stand next to her mate as her present stronger self.

She truly loved her… historical

"We…" Hope stuttered. "We… we have to fight her?" She bit her lips, this thought alone made her want to cry and shout out loud for the reality that she had to face.

"Yes, my hope…" Kace replied matter of factly, he didn't want to sugar coat the thing that they had to face sooner or later. There was no point in doing that.

"Why did she do this?" Hope asked, sobbing. She leaned her body against Kace's sturdy chest while covering her face with her palms. "Is it because Jedrek chose Lilac?"
