The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 653 - BREAKFAST

Lilac couldn't take it anymore. She made her own judgement, because she knew the entire story about the war, and the guardian angels' extinction. Just sitting still after hearing what Rowan had to say about it seemed so wrong. She wouldn't lower her head and accept the insult that those imbecile shifters threw about her entire extinct race.

Their wrong perception about guardian angels needed to stop, for it would only form another misunderstanding over and over again. It was true that most of the guardian angels were physically weak, but it didn't mean that they were not blessed with some power to protect themselves.

They might be soft and kind, but weak they were not. It was only that they were blessed with compassion, and a deep sense of mercy, making them too kind to even hurt their enemy. They let all those powers sink deep within them.

Little did they know, Lilac and the other two guardian angels were different than those guardian angels who were extinct centuries ago. They were being resurrected to life as humans, to have another purpose. They were carrying out a crucial mission. Lilac wouldn't just sit there and let any humiliation be thrown at her or her kind.

Even after what she showed of what she was capable of doing, those shifters were still in denial. Rowan was about to argue to her. It was Tordoff who made him stop. He sent him a look, his narrowed eyes said it all silently. A warning seemingly delivered through mind-link between the two. And with that, Rowan held back and dropped the topic.

"Alright, we're here to eat and listen to this precious information that Violet had received." Tordoff clapped his hand signing that the argument was over. Lilac glanced at Jedrek and found him sitting there, looked oblivious about the small argumentation that occurred just a second ago. All while enjoying the touch of the red-haired woman.

She frowned. Aren't they getting too physical now? Why didn't they find a room for themselves to do that?—she said to herself inside her head. With the unsettling sight of them getting too physical, Lilac couldn't erase that sight from her memory. Suddenly, an urge surfaced on her head, wanting to smother the both of them with her roots and vines.

"Here, eat this." beside her, Tordoff had filled a large plate with a large piece of meat, and some other food. Since he didn't know what Lilac would prefer for breakfast, he filled her plate with a bunch of all that were there. Sullenly, Lilac stared at the place. "Oh, I don't eat meat. I don't like the taste," she said, pushing the plate away from her. Her eyes found gr.a.p.es and reached for it.

"Don't tell me you will just eat that." Tordoff now was baffled. He knew that she had been eating apples for three days straight the other day, but he didn't believe she would actually only eat fruits. How could someone hold on with only fruit in their stomach? How could there be someone who can function without consuming meat?

???I told you, I will not eat anything from the enemy's place." Lilac put a gr.a.p.e into her mouth.

"That gr.a.p.e also from your so-called enemy's place." Rowan nodded his head pointing at the sprig of gr.a.p.es in Lilac's hand.

"This is different." Lilac plopped another gr.a.p.e into her mouth, since Jedrek was acting like she was invisible, she would do the same and helped herself.

"What's the difference? The fruit also came from the same table," Rowan scowled, thinking that Lilac was making no sense.

Lilac turned her expression, and rested her hand on top of the table. She stared at Rowan who were now starting to look like a student whining for an explanation. "This is from nature. I will know immediately if you tampered with it, I could tell for sure. But for the other…" Lilac waved her hands at the rest of the food. "I don't have any idea." She shrugged her shoulders and continued to enjoy her chosen food.

And with that, the conversation ran quite smoothly. Being at the same table with them, Lilac learned quite a lot. She learned that Tordoff and Rowan had completely different personalities. If Tordoff was the glowing sun, then Rowan was the gloomy night. One could not resist but to notice the dark aura that exuded surrounding him. Apart from that, Rowan was as annoying as his Alpha.

He was still occupied, and was having his own moment with his so-called advisor. Now Lilac was certain of what kind of advice that Violet had provided for Jedrek, apart from the important one.

"Hey, try this." Tordoff gave Lilac a boiled egg. "I feel bad if you just eat that." He threw a nasty look at the gr.a.p.es. "I told you I will not eat this." Lilac pushed away the boiled egg and took another sprig of gr.a.p.es instead.

"This is fun," Tordoff said with a huge wolfish grin on his lips. "Try to crack it like this." He hit the egg against his forehead and the shell cracked, so it was easy to peel it off. "See? You just need to knock it with something hard."

Lilac watched as Tordoff enjoyed his boiled egg. And then a mischievous idea flashed in her mind. Before she could think further about her action, she grabbed another boiled egg and smashed it against Tordoff's forehead until its shell cracked. historical

"What are you doing?" He rubbed his forehead, surprised by the sudden attack.

"You are right, this is fun!" Lilac exclaimed, laughing heartily upon seeing Tordoff's sullen expression. There was even a flash of amus.e.m.e.nt in Rowan's cold eyes for a second. How about Jedrek? Lilac couldn't help it. She was curious about his reaction. Would he even react to that?—she thought, tilted her head to see the king's expression.

Jedrek remained the same. He was looking at his advisor beside him, smiled ear to ear at Violet. Seeing the smile that formed in his lips, made Lilac think of the beauty that he was. That, if only he would smile like that more and get rid of his cold demeanor. However, his smile was for Violet. Or, was it only what Lilac thought?

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

After breakfast, they were still sitting at the dining table, but all the food had been taken away by the servants. They were supposed to give the leftovers to the omega.

Lilac hated it when she found out that Jedrek still enacted a rank of omega. That rank should have been abolished, yet she didn't want to argue with Jedrek when they were about to hear important information from Violet.

Jedrek clasped his fingers together as he listened to Violet. But from the corner of his eyes, he could see how close Lilac sat beside Tordoff, their arms even accidentally brushed against each other every now and then as she readjusted her position.

Lilac seemed to have been good friends with Tordoff, in spite of the short span of time they had together. It was clearly seen that she looked relaxed in his companion.

Somehow, Jedrek despised this. Although he knew that the feeling was due to the beast in him who couldn't bear to be away from its mate, especially when they just met each other.

Though there was a case when someone rejected their mate, it was not common for their kind to do so.

Jedrek reached his goblet, and chugged down the liquid inside. While drinking, his eyes took a glimpse of his mate, as he remembered her mischievous act with the boiled egg. And the sound of her laughter was still ringing in his head.
