Chapter 620: So was he
Chapter 620: So was he
"Serefina," Chiron called the witch's name as he stood up and gestured to Zarrn to stay away from the Lycan.
Not too far from them, a bunch of hunters and centaurs were snarling and squealing as the ground started to turn into a butchery. The theatre of death filled up with keening, and caterwauling sounds as the ground was sodden with blood and ichor.
A windstorm of fire arrows was skirling and sizzling up through the sky from the spell that the witches chanted.
There were around twenty witches, standing in the far distance, battling the hunters and the centaurs from afar, while fifty vampires slaughtered their enemy, bathing themselves with their blood and entertained their ears with their yowls and snarls.
There were too many of them and soon it would turn into a massacre.
"We need to help the other," Chiron gestured to Zarrn to follow him while he nodded at Serefina. He knew this witch. This was their first encounter again after several decades have passed.
Leaving Kace with his dead mate and the witch, the head of the centaurs and his right hand man entered the ground, which had been burnished with a sickly odor rose up from it.
"Kace," Serefina called him again, but she didn't move forward to approach him. There was something from Kace that put the witch in full alert.
The sight of his trembling back and the way his slow shift into his beast form, telling him there was something wrong with this lycan.
Of course this was not any ordinary error, this was not a mishap or something of short.
His mate was dead. His mate was killed before his eyes, and her blood was still dripping from his hands.
His eyes were glowing with insane fury, an indescribable wrath, when his mind ran wildly couldn't work properly.
The sight of his mate only drove him further and further away from reality.
"Kace, calm yourself." Even Serefina was not convinced by her own words, how could she ask a lycan, who just lost his mate to calm down? Who was she fooling? There was no way Kace would calm in this kind of situation.
However, except talking sweetly of nothing, Serefina was also at a loss about what was happening here.
She raised her head as she gritted her teeth.
'Moon Goddess, what are you up to?'
However, there was no moon above her head, in contrast there was only the torching brightness of the sunlight…
And the beast that was about to wreak havoc in a matter of seconds.
The sound of his snapping bones were almost as eerie as the sound of the battle behind them, a tough fight for them to win.
Kace raised his hands, which had half shifted with his majestic white fur that was covered with ember-red blood. His insane red eyes were dull with the sight.
The white beast finally reached the last stage of his transformation, as he stood mightily on all four legs. This was the longest, the most painful and the most uncontrollable shifting that he had been through.
As he was in full beast form, his senses became hypersensitive, he practically could smell blood, sweat and fear hanging heavily in the air, with blistering heat and glaring sun above their head.
The beast took a tentative approach to the motionless body before him, his snout touched the girl's pale cheeks as he whimpered in despair when the girl didn't respond to his touch.
An irrational agony and grief searing through his system, leaving him incapable of resisting the overpowering wave of emotion.A red haze descended over his mind and he knew no more when he charged towards the gruesome, frightening battlefield, blinded by his anger.
Serefina watched without being able to do anything. For the first time—she was afraid of the white beast.
She had fought Kace countless of times in his beast form before, but it was only because she knew those were harmless fights.
But, not this time, even the air around him, frightened the witch.
Serefina rushed back from Fulbright City when she felt there was something wrong. However, the moment she reached her house, no one was there.
It was expected though, becauseKace had moved Hope to Sterling's house, the werewolf, the old friend of Kace.
Yet, when Serefina was there, they told them that Hope and the twins disappeared the night of the festival.
Sterling and Sophia had been trying to look for their sons and Hope, but they couldn't find them. They also told Serefina about the dream that Hope had the night before.
It was not very difficult for the witch to put all the pieces together and understand what was actually happening. She should have known that Lydia was up to something, when she asked to come along with her.
Especially when Serefina asked her for a favor to help Kace and Lana if both of them didn't return until the festival in the village occurred.
Knowing her, it was most likely that the witch had brought along Hope and the twins with her to enter this realm.Without knowing what kind of danger that they would face once they were here.
Serefina crouched down beside Hope's body, her brows knitted tightly, as she raised her head and faced the glaring sunlight.
'Why did you let this happen Selene?' The witch questioned the Moon Goddess.
Stretching her hands, Serefina touched Hope's forehead, her body was still warm to her touch, but she was most likely dead.
"What would happen if we lost one of the guardian angels?" Serefina gritted her teeth as complexity crossed her face.
The witch stared at the bloody battle that happened before her eyes, shivering when the brutal side of the beast contributed more and more horrendous scenes in the clearing.
Serefina shielded herself and Hope from the blasting fire that was sent by one of the witches there, when they spotted there was someone left behind.
However, the white beast did not even turn around to check whether the fire from earlier hit his mate or not, because his mate was already dead, so was he.
