The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 754 - THE DISCUSSION

Raine looked around her. They were inside a room that was as big as the dining hall in Torak's pack house.

There were seven of them and they were sitting around a round table with Raine sat beside Hope and their mate sat next to them, while Jedrek sat on the right side of Torak, Lilac sat next to him with Serefina on her right side.

The tension was palpable and the atmosphere was so thick until one could cut it with knife.

From the gloomy aura that surrounded them, it seemed no one wanted to sit there for another second longer, yet there they were, trying to tolerating each other temper to discuss more important matter.

Raine glanced at Lilac, who was smiling sweetly at her and Hope during the meeting, but the three of them still didn't have a chance to get to know each other yet. It was a pity.

Moreover, Raine had spotted the bandages on Lilac's hands. She wondered what caused her to be injured so severely? It couldn't be Jedrek had hurt her, right?

Raine shifted her attention on Jedrek, but she immediately averted her gaze when the overbearing king caught her eyes. He was very scary.

Within two hours, they had been discussing about a few important things and exchanging all the information that they knew.

During that time, only Torak, Jedrek and Serefina would talk, while Kace would chime in every now and then.

On the other hand, the three guardian angels seemed bored with the ongoing discussion and were more interested in each other. They seem impatient to have time for themselves.

Just like the lycans, they also wanted to exchange information with one another.

"When your people will arrive?" Jedrek asked his brothers in his Alpha's tone, but it didn't have any effect to the people inside the room.

"They will be here next week at the latest." Torak answered Jedrek and glanced at Kace. "The centaurs and a few people will come with them as well."

"Some of the shifters will join us, but I think it will take time before Sterling can gather them all. I don't know exactly when they will arrive," Kace said. He was trying really hard to ignore Jedrek and suppressed his anger. He never imagined that would be a time when he sat down with his two brothers again.

Jedrek gave some thought about it. "The southern city will not be enough to accommodate them," he said thoughtfully and this made Serefina and the other brothers realize that would be a massive people.

"We can use the nearby town for them to reside," Torak spoke.

"I don't think one town is enough," Kace murmured.

"The other town will be too far from here and it will be better if the forces are not scattered in different places." Jedrek voiced out his thought.

"The centaurs want their land," Kace reminded him. The land of the centaur was a little bit too far from here, therefore, if Jedrek wanted to concentrate his force in one place, they should exclude the centaur.

Jedrek stared at Kace. His youngest brother had been avoiding to look at him since the beginning of the meeting.

"We need one of them to coordinate with us." Torak suggested. "We will need one of them as a representative of their kind, since it is impossible for us to face them one by one."

"One of my general will arrange that." Jedrek nodded, agreed.

"How many people we have in the first war?" Kace frowned, trying to remember. "One hundred thousand? Two?"

"Three hundred thousand our people," Torak said.

"And two hundred thousand of another shifters and supernatural creatures." Jedrek chimed in.

"We have dragon shifters, a few witches and fairies at that time." Kace remembered the dragon people and their betrayal.

"I think we have a problem with the witches." Jedrek squired his shoulder and informed them. "I killed Maximus." historical

"What!?" Kace was taken aback, even Torak was surprised.

As long as they could remember, Maximus had been a friend to Jedrek since they were little and that was one of the reasons why Jedrek saved him when he executed all the Gregory family because of treason, aside from the fact it was Maximus, who handed them over.

"Did you realize that he had a pretty strong influence in the east when you killed him?" Kace glared at Jedrek, this was the first time since he entered the chamber that he looked at Jedrek in the eyes.

"He is no longer useful to me," Jedrek said. He didn't explain it and when Lilac was about to tell them the truth behind it, Jedrek held her hand firmly and this gesture didn't except Serefina's lime- green eyes.

"Why? Because he didn't manage to kill me?" Kace narrowed his eyes dangerously, he could feel the anger rose, as he let out a low growl.

If Jedrek had done this earlier, Kace would have thanked him for doing so, but the problem was; their situation was quite complicated now and the witches in the east region were very useful if they had to face the devils in the battle.

"Don't flatter yourself. I will not kill him for that cheap reason." It was half a lie. Jedrek cared for his brothers, he just didn't want to show it.

Upon hearing that, Kace scoffed disdainfully. "You don't even spare me the pleasure to kill him myself."

"Why did you kill him?" As long as Torak could remember, Jedrek was not the one who would make a decision out of impulse. There must be a strong reason behind it.

"Maximus challenged him for the Alpha title," Serefina answered that, but when she looked at Jedrek, her face turned rigid and she spoke that led them into another conclusion. "Or, at least that was what I heard."

Though Serefina arrived in this place earlier, but she couldn't find the truth behind Jedrek's reckless decision by killing Maximus. He should know that his action would cost them.
