Chapter 780: How to heal your wound
"What happened to you?" Torak panted heavily when he saw Jedrek writhing on the ground.
Blood covered the ground of the dungeon. The royal blood of the Donovans.
A few moments ago, the two white beasts were fighting each other, trying to dominate one another, but it didn't take a long time before Torak to realize that something was wrong with Jedrek.
He had seen the gashes behind his brother's back during the rogue attack, but there was no way they were not healed yet.
Torak wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and from his forehead. The fight didn't last for more than a few minutes, but it was enough to leave them covered in blood, cuts and bruises.
However, during the fight, it was clear to see that Jedrek was not in good shape. The gashes from his last battle with the rogues were still apparent on his back.
"D*mn it Jedrek! Shift back!" Torak roared when the white beast snarled at him. "What happened to your wound?!" It was already strange enough to see how Jedrek moved to dodge his attack awkwardly, no need to mention that he had wounds which didn't heal even after days.
The white beast glowered at Torak through his black eyes, yet in the next second, his body was shaking violently, it seemed the process to shift back into his human skin, put him in pain.
"What was wrong with your wounds?!" Torak walked closer and yanked his clothes, as Jedrek swatted his hand away from him, yet he was not fast enough because Torak had grabbed the material and tore it, revealing the nasty wounds. "What happened to you?!"
"None of your business!"Jedrek took his cloak and was about to walk out of this room, when another voice surprised the two of them.
"How did you get those wounds?" Kace's voice echoed inside the dungeon along with his heavy footsteps.
Jedrek and Torak were too focused on each other until they didn't even realize that Kace had been standing there for some time.
"Is it Maximus who gave you that wound?" Kace walked into the room.
"What are you doing here?!" Both Jedrek and Torak threw their younger brother the same question.
"Wow!" Kace stopped in his tracks and raised both of his hands in surrender. "I thought you were fighting. I don't know that the two of you get along pretty well," he said sarcastically.
Ignoring Kace's snarky comment, Torak narrowed his eyes at him while Jedrek put on his cloak to cover his wounds. "I told you to lead the people out there. What are you doing here?!" Torak was not happy in the slightest to see Kace here.
"Those people are yours!" Kace shouted back at Torak. He was not happy either, because of what had happened in the tent. "Do you really think that those Alphas will listen to me?! They were whining, saying that they missed you!"
Jedrek grimaced upon hearing Kace's choice of words. It sounded unpleasant to his ears.
"You let them to kick you out!?" Torak crossed his arms in front of his chest. He was not sure, whether he was more angry at Jedrek or Kace, both of them made his head hurt. He wanted to end things here and seek for comfort from his mate. "You should show them who is in charge there!"
"In what way?! Kill them!?" Kace almost lost his temper again as he could feel his beast prowling at the edge of his consciousness.
"If you want to bicker with each other, I will go first," Jedrek spoke in an irritated tone. "Try not to kill each other. We still have a war to fight for."
"I am not yet done with you." Torak shifted his attention toward Jedrek while Kace blocked his way out.
"You have not answer my question yet." Kace stood tall in front of Jedrek. The three of them were almost at the same height, yet Jedrek seemed a little bit taller than Torak and Kace.
"What is it? Are you both teaming up to stop me now?" Jedrek raised his brows, not liking the way his two younger brothers treated him.
"Where did you get those wounds?" Kace repeated his question. "Is it Maximus who did this to you?"
Only then did Jedrek remember the report that he received a year ago. "Maximus did this to you too?"
"Yes," Kace replied and then scoffed disdainfully. "Thanks to you."
"What? You have suffered the same wounds?" Torak was at loss. It seemed they needed more than a day to catch up with each other. There were so many things that they didn't know. "Both of you were injured by the same person?"
Seeing Jedrek in his current condition was already a surprise for Torak, the fact that he could be wounded to that extent was definitely not something he ever imagined. However, to know Kace also suffered the same thing was not a good news for them.
"I have recovered." Kace shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, but there was uneasiness that flashed in his eyes when he remembered how he recovered from that nasty curse of wounds.
"How?" Jedrek really needed to know this, though he said that these wounds didn't bother him, but he could still feel the side effects of it.
"Apparently, marking Hope, healed my wounds," Kace said.
"How did it work?" Jedrek knew he would mark Lilac after the mating ceremony, but he didn't know that it could heal his wound as well. This could be added into one of the reasons why his decision to do the mating ceremony was right.
"I don't want to go into details," Kace rejected to explain further. "You and I were in different situations. But, marking Hope worked for me. I think it would have the same effect on you."
"Good," Jedrek nodded his head. "I will mark her sooner or later, so there is nothing to worry about."
Jedrek was about to leave the room when Torak held his shoulder and spoke sternly.
"You have not answered my question yet, brother." Torak gritted his teeth before he continued. "What happened to our parents?"
