Chapter 1047: Longings
Chapter 1047: Longings
"I know." Jedrek then looked at his mate, who was in Raine's arms and felt the excruciating pain after seeing Lilac all heartbroken because of his actions. "The only thing that I have been giving her all this time is pain..."
Torak said nothing when he heard that, his dark eyes were staring at the witch who had closed her eyes forever, as he bade her farewell softly in his heart.
'Goodbye Serefina, thank you for everything that you have done for us.'
And everything was enveloped by eerie silence once again.
However, a few minutes later, a popping sound like a soft explosion was heard not too far from them, but under these conditions, of course they would instinctively search for the source of the sound vigilantly.
After all they were in high alert, just in case there was another enemy that was trying to ambush them.
The minotaurs immediately circled around the guardian angels and the magicians were standing behind them, they were ready to attack.
It was just that, the sight they saw next made them breathe out in relief, because in front of them, were not only Belinda, Sybil and some of the other shifters they knew, but Raine also recognized the brown colored beast which was Calleb's.
Raine couldn't describe the way relief flooded her system when she noticed that the Beta was fine.
Apart from that, they also saw Sterling, who was carrying Rossie and Ethan as well. They were all here... They survived...
And there was nothing more important than to see old friends again.
Raine couldn't be more relieved than this. It could be said as knowing good news before hearing the worst news, since she was still a little clueless about the recent news.
"Go..." Lilac separated herself from Raine, wiping away her tears. "I am feeling better now, thank you," she said softly.
Lilac knew that Raine wanted to go over to Belinda and the people she knew, especially Calleb, who was still in his beast form.
"Are you sure?" Raine asked worriedly, she could meet them later if Lilac still needed her company, but the other guardian angel gave her a weak smile to reassure her.
"Yes." Lilac nodded. "There is something I want to talk to Sybil as well." She then directed her attention to the witch with white- hair, who was walking briskly toward Raine and Lilac.
The witch looked like she had something that was needed to be discussed with her queen.
"Okay then," Raine agreed and gave Lilac a quick hug before she went over to Belinda and the brown beast.
After Raine walked away, Lilac looked at Jedrek, who was still hugging Serefina's body, while talking to Torak. No one knew what they were talking about, but they didn't seem to be too many exchanging words between the two of them.
"Your majesty," Sybil greeted Lilac, and only then did the guardian angel shift her focus back to the witch.
But, before Sybil could say a word, Lilac had something to tell her first.
"I want you to help me with something," Lilac said in a hoarse voice.
"Anything, your majesty," Sybil answered solemnly. She pledged her loyalty to the royal family and since Lilac was her queen, she would do anything for her.
Meanwhile, Raine walked over to Belinda and hugged the witch, it seemed like she still didn't realize what happened to her step sister, so was Raine, about what had happened to Calleb.
"Belinda," Raine buried her face between the curve of Belinda's shoulder and neck and hugged her tightly, breathing a sigh of relief knowing they were together and all right now.
"Raine, I am glad you are fine..." Belinda returned the guardian angel's hug. "Has all this ended?" She asked expectantly.
Since the war had stopped here and it seemed they had won it, Belinda assumed that all these nightmares had finally come to an end.
However, Raine shook her head.
"No, not yet." Yes, because there were still three more devils they had to catch and lock up, and there were also craters, the gates to hell, which were still open. They had to close those too.
Hearing that, Belinda nodded stiffly and began to observe all the people around her, who were still strange for her and finally she found Hope, who was still in the arms of Kace and also Lilac, who was talking to Sybil.
But, then the two of them walked forward with facial expressions that were difficult to decipher.
And that was when Belinda caught the figure of Jedrek who was hugging Serefina and Torak who was crouching by his side.
What was Jedrek trying to do? Hugging Serefina like that in front of Lilac? Didn't he know that it would create an awkward atmosphere between the three of them?
Did her sister had gone insane to have a display of affection at a time like this?
But, a moment later, Belinda realized there was something odd about the scene she was seeing.
"Raine, what happened to Serefina?" she asked in a choked voice, as if her subconscious had already know the answer before Raine could even reply.
"You have to go there and see for yourself," Raine answered softly.
Belinda blinked a few times because she didn't understand what Raine was getting at, but then she agreed and started walking toward the Donovans, feeling a little bit awkward.
Her gut feeling told her that something was wrong with Serefina which she couldn't explain, even her subconscious seemed to know the answer to this uncomfortable feeling, it was just that, Belinda brushed everything off and started walking with more steady steps after shaking her head to get rid of all negative thoughts.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Lilac cautiously walked over to Jedrek and nodded at Torak, as if to say she would handle it from here.
Torak nodded politely and stood up to approach Raine, the two of them haven't had the right time to express their longings to each other.
Granted, this was not the right time, but at least, Torak wanted to feel her presence by his side and take the liberty of breathing in her scent.
