Chapter 1020: Serefinas plan
Chapter 1020: Serefina's plan
The dazzling bright light, which made Kace lose his sight, was now slowly fading away, allowing him to open his eyes and observe his surroundings.
Apparently, this did not happen to him alone, because Torak and Jedrek seemed to have experienced the same thing as they groaned while resting their hands on the wet ground.
Kace felt that his head hurt a little while his body seemed strange, but it was not the thing that bothered him the most, as he was still trying to digest what actually had happened, because the last thing he remembered was; blue flames wrapping their bodies after burning all the shifters and the creatures from hell.
Then…
Lidya and Nutdrouk.
He had seen the witch and the Dwarf appearing near them before he lost consciousness. What happened? Where are they?
Kace took a look around him and looked up at the red sky. The same sky that he saw the last time.
But, this place… looked familiar…
However, Kace's thoughts were interrupted when he heard Jedrek roaring in despair and anger.
"WHERE'S LILAC?!" He roared and growled viciously and only then did Kace realize that in this place, there were only three of them.
"Calm down first!" Nutdrouk tried to avoid Jedrek's grip, but the king managed to grab the collar of the hoodie he was wearing and lifted his body off the ground with great ease.
"WHERE'S MY MATE?!" Jedrek looked almost feral, he was furious when he couldn't find Lilac by his side.
Meanwhile, Torak didn't seem to care much about what Jedrek was about to do. He stared at the scene with cold eyes and was more interested in observing the surroundings when he heard a distant roar. A loud roar, which could shake the ground.
Having no other choice, Kace groaned and tried to calm Jedrek down by grabbing his hand, preventing his brother from crushing the Dwarf's neck.
"Calm down your brother! And listen to my explanation first!" Nutdrouk screamed, half because of fear, but also because he was annoyed for being burdened with such a task. Lidya should have been the one in his place, handling these grumpy Lycans.
Nutdrouk had refused this assignment from the start, because he knew it would end like this and his life could be in danger, such as now; one impulsive move from Jedrek, then he must say goodbye to the world.
"Jedrek!" Kace growled at his brother. "Let him go!"
You couldn't take the anger of a lycan lightly, especially if the lycan had a temperament like Jedrek's coupled with a status like him, where the Alpha blood flowing in his body made him even more violent.
"TORAK!" Kace shouted irritably at his other brother, who didn't even bother to help him! "Are you going to just sit there and watch Jedrek kill this dwarf!? At least do something!"
However, instead of helping Kace to save the Dwarf's life, Torak walked away. He was more interested in the roar he heard earlier.
Jedrek went berserk because Lilac who was supposed to be with them, had disappeared because of the Dwarf, while Raine, his mate was in the hands of the devils and he had to find a way to get her back.
So, Torak wouldn't waste time persuading Jedrek. He too would do the same, if he were him.
How could Nutdrouk leave Lilac just like that and separate Jedrek and his mate in a situation like this.
Maybe the Dwarf had nine lives, so he was daring enough to to do that.
"D*mn you Torak!" Kace cursed at Torak's back, who continued walking away. "D*mn you also Jedrek! For god sake, let him explain the situation first!"
They were currently on a field, a soccer field in the middle of the city with lush trees growing around like a fortress, which was limiting their visibility.
"If you kill me… you will not know what Serefina's plan really is…" Nutdrouk tried his best to say that, because that was the only way to make Jedrek listen and willing to let him go.
"Jedrek, let him go!"Kace gripped Jedrek's hand even harder and tried to separate the two of them.
Luckily for Nutdrouk, he managed to get those few words out, because shortly after that, Jedrek threw the dwarf's body away, slamming him to the ground until he heard a cracking sound emanate from his small body.
Well, at least this time, Jedrek was listening and spared this poor Dwarf. For now...
Kace could only grimace and squat down beside Nutdrouk. Afterward, he slowly lifted him with one hand and helped him to sit.
The wrinkles between Nutdrouk's eyebrows showed how much pain he felt when Jedrek threw him.
"Speak Now!" Unfortunately, Jedrek didn't have any pity for the small being and was too impatient to hear Nutdrouk's agonizing groaning.
Meanwhile, Nutdrouk rolled his big eyes at Jedrek, disliking the way he gave orders after throwing himself like a pile of trash, but sadly he had no other choice.
"You better answer him, because next time, even I will not be able to save you,"Kace patted Nutdrouk on the shoulder, but too hard for someone who just suffered a broken bone.
Nutdrouk grimaced and swatted Kace's hand away in annoyance, before he finally moved a little away from Jedrek's reach, careful not to be strangled by him again.
"So, what is Serefina planning to do with this mess?" Kace asked, because Jedrek seemed to be losing himself if he had to repeat the same question twice.
"First of all, you must kill the Hydra,"Nutdrouk said, conveying what Serefina had ordered him to. Although he didn't really understand what the last pure-blooded witch was planning. "Only after you kill the monster, will I be able to take you to the place where Serefina is."
Jedrek impatience only intensified from hearing explanations that didn't help him find Lilac, but before he could do anything, Nutdrouk added again.
"If all goes well on Serefina's side, you can get your mate back," he said quickly before Jedrek could grab a hold of his poor self for a second time.
