Chapter 733: Serefina
Chapter 733: Serefina
Serefina walked past the rumble of the city slowly. She remembered every detail of this place, even though it had been centuries since the last time she saw this city and it was nothing like the last time she remembered.
Right along this street was the path that she always took whenever she would meet him, walking straight ahead and you would see the castle, where Jedrek lived. He was not an Alpha at that time, just a cold-hearted young boy, who was too arrogant to admit how amazing Serefina's magic was.
Serefina knew Janus and Diana, but of course Jedrek had never introduced her properly to them, and she moved to the castle when Jedrek had assumed the position as the King of the lycanthropes and his parents were no longer residing in it.
Serefina had never asked where they were, she just heard some rumors here and there, but never bothered to confirm it with Jedrek.
Now, she thought about it again, probably she should have asked him…
However, it wasn't the right time to recall something from the past or have a conversation about that. Their conversation later would be a whole different thing from whatever Serefina could imagine.
Perhaps Serefina's current curiosity about Janus and Diana was because she just wanted to relive her past memories, trying to find tiny shards of her happy memories with Jedrek, which she knew, she couldn't create again now.
Serefina smiled bitterly when she watched as the black smoke swirled on top of the devastated castle. The place that held a lot of memories. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but the condition of that magnificent building at this moment represented what Serefina and Jedrek had now perfectly.
The sky had turned dark, as if it was an indication that a storm would come and this only made the witch sneer. Since when did this city center had a storm?
Serefina didn't slow her pace when she walked further ahead. Actually, she could teleport herself to the south castle, but she chose not to do that. She needed time for herself, yet it turned out she was relishing what she had.
After walking for two hours, Serefina finally reached the spot where she met Jedrek for the first time, she touched the tree, where she saw Jedrek resting when she practiced teleportation for the first time.
The arrogant young lycan snarled and growled at her, talking to her in his Alpha's tone, which didn't have the effect that he wanted.
Serefina smiled tenderly when she remembered that moment.
However, only because of that accident, had the two of them came to know each other and this became the place where they would meet, despite no one from the two of them would say it out loud. It was like a tacit understanding between them.
Under this tree, was where Jedrek kissed her for the first time. No, that was a first kiss for both of them.
Serefina's gaze softened when she felt the rough tree bark under her fingertips, she remembered how Jedrek avoided her eyes when their kissed ended and how the atmosphere became awkward.
It didn't take any longer than necessary before the two of them burst out laughing. It felt so nice and pure.
And they shared a thousand kisses afterward.
How na?ve they were at that time, thinking there was nothing could ruin what they had.
Probably, Serefina would laugh out loud if there was someone who warned her that their relationship would end like this at that time.
Serefina took a deep breath before she continued to walk ahead, as she remembered very clearly, when everything that she believed she had with Jedrek became a nightmare when her father left her and her mother.
She learnt it in the hard way about the mate bond. That d*mn bond…
However, as na?ve as they were, they thought everything would be fine, since Jedrek promised her that he would reject his mate the moment he found her.
No one told Serefina at that time that it was almost impossible and a very very rare case for shifters to reject their destined mate, and the two of them kept going with their risky relationship.
Serefina should have thought if her father, the pure blood wizard, who loved her and her mother, couldn't refuse the mate bond that formed between him and Belinda's mother, then there would be a possibility that Jedrek couldn't deny the bond either, yet Serefina didn't think that way.
She believed him. Even if he said the sun would rise from the west, she would believe him…
It was also not a common thing for shifters to have a mate who came from a different kind, though it happened for some shifters.
Serefina slowed down her pace when she reached a small bridge with a clear river streaming under it, the surface of the river flickered like glitter and it was a beautiful sight to behold.
The witch found herself smiling.
"Recalling old memories?"
A voice sounded from behind Serefina and out of instinct, she turned around only to find Asmodeus, who was staring at her with a sweet smile on her cherry lips.
"You," Serefina said in an uninterested tone, at this point of time, Serefina had reached the other side of the bridge and was too lazy to have a confrontation when her heart was sullen.
"I want to offer you something." Asmodeus kept talking, despite Serefina's lack of excitement.
The witch didn't even bother to reject it, she just ignored her and kept walking. All of the devils indeed always had a way to ruin someone mood.
"Why don't you join us and we will give you what you want?" Asmodeus approached Serefina, but kept the distance between them, knowing this witch could become very dangerous if she was pissed.
"I have everything that I want," Serefina grumbled, though she turned her back to the devil, but she was on high alert for a sudden attack.
"Including the Alpha King?" Asmodeus asked in a fake-curious tone. "The last news I heard the Alpha King will hold his mating ceremony soon."
