The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 863 - SOMETIMES HE FORGOT

Jedrek looked at his mate, with interest to hear what she was saying. What would his unpredictable mate want to do this time?

"What will you do?" Jedrek looked at Lilac expectantly. He was more than willing to listen to his queen.

Lilac smiled secretively at Jedrek and walked ahead, but then the lycan's eyes widened in surprise and out of instinct, he grabbed her hand and yanked her back.

"What you will do?!" Jedrek yelled at Lilac, his soft gaze now turned hard.

"The barrier makes the shifters unable to go through, but it won't have any effect on humans, right?" Lilac turned around to ask Sybil.

The witch with the hair as white as snow, nodded her head. "Yes, your majesty. It won't have any effect on humans."

"And I am human," Lilac said, winking an eye at Jedrek, yet the king was too stiff to get her joke. Nothing was funny, as long as it had something to do with Lilac's safety.

"No," Jedrek said sternly. He didn't let go of Lilac's arm and he wouldn't budge from his decision either.

"She said it is fine for me to go," Lilac said innocently as she pouted her lips. "Don't worry, I will not be going too far."

"No," Jedrek didn't accept her reasoning.

And upon hearing a second rejection, Lilac frowned, she looked around her and observed Jedrek's people who were now staring at them, curious to know whether their overbearing king would relent to his mate or not.

"You should listen, my queen, this is for your own safety and is not a play thing." Sebastian stepped forward to give an advice.

Though it was a nice advice on the surface, Lilac could still feel the way the general still couldn't get rid the idea that she was a guardian angel with all the rumors that was said about her kind. Sebastian was still looking down on her from the underlying meaning of his words 'play thing'.

"I am not playing," Lilac countered sternly. She then glanced at Jedrek's hand, which was still holding hers and then raised her head.

Lilac tiptoed to whisper something to him.

She didn't want to argue with Jedrek in front of his people or even worse deny him, it wouldn't be good for him as a king, whether in the end he would relent to her or not.

Those people should respect him and Lilac would gain her own respect by showing them that she was not as weak as what they thought about a guardian angel.

"Let me do it," Lilac whispered to Jedrek, her warm breath brushing against his skin deliciously. "They erected this barrier, it means they had known that we will come to them and they will not think that you can come across it." historical

"No, Lilac," Jedrek said sternly when she finished whispering to him, but the look of disappointment on her face made him to add. "Unless you go with Sybil." He offered a solution. "And not further than half way to the city."

The city behind the wall in the eastern region looked as large as the one in the southern region, where they were living now.

However, this place looked gloomy, as if this city had been abandoned.

"Okay," Lilac agreed and kissed Jedrek's cheek, to comfort him, lest he took back his words. "Let's go Sybil," she said.

"Yes, my queen," the witch replied solemnly.

"You go first," Jedrek said, he still held Lilac's hand as he asked for the witch to go first and cross the barrier.

The king's intention was very clear. If something did happen and Sybil's prediction was wrong about the safety of the barrier for other creatures except shifters, then the witch would bear the consequences first.

In the end, Jedrek didn't want his mate to get hurt.

Though, it was only Sybil who knew where exactly the barrier had started, but from the way she tried to feel it earlier, Jedrek could see that the barrier started where the hill became sloppy with many trunks beneath it.

Lilac should be careful if she wanted to go down there.

Sybil nodded and walked carefully down the hill, yet when she tried to jump the trunk in front of her, the trunk suddenly moved on its own making a way for her.

At first, Sybil was surprised because she didn't use any magic to move it, until she turned around and saw her queen who was smiling softly at her, Lilac's hand made a wave movement to get rid of the obstacles for her to take easy steps on this sloping land.

"Okay, now?" Lilac asked Jedrek. Her eyes brimming with elation.

"Hm," Jedrek hummed. Sometimes he would forget that his mate held such a power in her small body. Her angelic face also made it hard for people to categorize her as someone who was formidable.

It took a few more seconds longer for Jedrek to let go of her hand and watch her walk down the sloping hill with ease.

Lilac walked alongside with Sybil and stopped when they reached halfway to the city. The guardian angel turned around and saw her mate, who was staring at her intensely, while his people stood alongside the barrier.

The moment Lilac turned her attention back to the city, the sound of a thunder shook the earth, as if rejecting her presence, but a smirk appeared at the corner of the guardian angel's lips.

Hope walked over to the dwarf, who was now standing ten meters away from the river bank, under the worried stare of Raine.

Meanwhile, Lidya still didn't agree with Hope's decision to go there.

"If she doesn't want to listen to my words, then what was the use of me being here?" Lidya was upset, she clenched her teeth when Hope almost slipped on the surface of the frozen river.

"I will be surprised if she listens to you," Raine replied and smiled softly when Lidya glared at her. "She asked you to come here, because she believes you will protect her if something went wrong," Raine said in reassuring tone.

Lidya glanced at the girl beside her and scoffed. "You know, you are really good with words, remembering that you are the quieter among the three."
