Chapter 771: Predicament
Chapter 771: Predicament
The people from Torak's pack and the centaurs along with the people from the village and a few shifters, would arrive today. Thus some lycans from Jedrek's guard have arrived to the south area to receive them.
Because it would be too crowded if those people came to the city directly and it would attract too much attention, Torak and Kace decided it was best to receive them here, outside of the great wall that surrounded the south city.
"I just can't believe that we are in this situation again," Kace mumbled beside Torak.
"I don't believe that I agreed to return to this realm too," Torak replied, from where they were standing now, they could see the horde of their people, coming closer.
"Hm," Kace hummed, as he touched his chin. "I don't understand why you left this realm? I just remembered that you had a lot of arguments with Jedrek, but I don't really understand what the two of you were fighting for."
"I don't really remember those fights either," Torak said casually and glanced at his younger brother with a mocking smile on his lips and this only annoyed Kace. "That is not important now, we have a lot of things to work on here, come on."
Torak slapped Kace's back so hard, he groaned in pain and tried to rub his back while grumbling to catch up with Torak who had already walked in front of him.
"Why didn't Jedrek come with us?" Kace asked, as he waved his hand to Bree, who was running toward him.
"They are not his people, do you think he would spare his time to be here with us?" Torak replied simply.
"I will take this little girl to the castle," Kace said. He didn't really heard what Torak replied.

Serefina didn't even blink or flinch when the black lycan pounced onto her. The witch's lime green eyes shone brightly when that beast was only a few inches away from her.
However, before his sharp-razor claws could come any close to her face, the beast found himself being hurled back very hard all of a sudden until his big body hit the wall behind him and created a big dent in it.
"Don't you learn something from your devil friends?" Serefina scoffed disdainfully. "That is not wise to attack a witch upfront. Or, are you too stupid to listen to them?"
The beast growled viciously at the witch and tried his second attempt to attack her, yet he couldn't break the invisible wall that Serefina had created around her and Theo.
"You never learn your lesson, do you?" Serefina narrowed her eyes and with a flick of her wrist, she set fire on the ground where the beast was trampling on.
The beast was about to leap to the side where there was no fire, but he just realized that his body couldn't move an inch.
His red eyes glared at Serefina with animosity and as soon as the fire licked his black fur, he started howling in pain and bared his teeth.
Serefina scoffed at the beast's lame attempt to scare her. He should know that he was not in a position to intimidate the witch. Even if he was, there was no way Serefina would feel scared of him when she even dared to annoy the three Donovans and fought them several times.
"So, it's him, right?" Serefina tilted her head and glanced at Theo over her shoulder. Theo shifted his eyes to Serfina and blinked, since he couldn't move his body or make any sound. "All right then…"
Serefina let the blue fire burn the beast and forced him turn back into his human skin, only then did the flames disappeared.
"Do you really think that you can take me down alone?" Serefina sat down on the chair and crossed her legs, while looking down at Rowan. "You are so overconfident."
On the other hand, Rowan was panting heavily, his whole body was trembling and his skin was burned and blackened because of the fire.
"It is so unfortunate that you can save him." Rowan nodded at Theo. "But, you can't save the the girl." He smirked.

In case of the werewolves or any kind of shifters for that matter, sometimes pregnancy would lead the female to gradually lose their remarkable sensing ability as the shifter. That was why Lana was not able to quickly realize that she was being followed when she visited Serefina in Theo's room.
However, when Kyle followed her, the wind brought his scent and exposed him, or maybe Kyle didn't really want to hide himself, since he should have known that it was a futile attempt to stalk on shifter.
"So, why did you follow me?" Lana raised her brows questioningly. She looked around and found that she was alone with only Kyle in this corridor, while the other tower needed around ten minutes for her to reach.
"I didn't." Kyle shrugged his shoulders and walked closer to Lana with his hands inside his cloak pocket.
Lana didn't overlook this fact and her eyes became sharp.
"I just want to ask you why the king moved Theo's room? Perhaps you know the reason?" Kyle stopped two steps away from Lana, giving her space to put her guard up, but not enough to defend herself if his attack was quicker than her moves.
"Why do you think I know the answer?" Lana asked, feigning an innocent face. "That is your king, not mine."
"Perhaps Raphael knows something?" Kyle suggested.
"Don't you think that you are asking the wrong person? Why don't you ask the king since you are his general?" Lana scoffed, out of instinct she put her arms around her belly and took a step back to create some distance between them.
"Right." He nodded. "Where are you going? Why don't I walk you to the other tower?"
"Thank you, but no need to worry, I can find my own way there," Lana rejected him sarcastically, but didn't dare to turn her back against Kyle.
"I think you know why I am here, right?" Kyle smiled at Lana and pulled out a silver dagger from his cloak pocket.
